I TOPICS DISCUSSED.

Stale by Hon. J. N Staplesy and the Itinerant

ies of jtbe Bishops were very able and very long ;
Bishop Mc Tyre speaking two hours, Bishop
DoggjeU an hour and three quarters anu itisiiop
Marvin two and a quarter.
s . Oflthe lesser dignitaries, our friend Mangum
(seemed to have made the finest impression, and

and Methodism the truth is, it was claimed
that jthe Methodists had originated so many
good! thing, the revival system, the Sunday
school, the Tract Society, Bible Society, mod
ern Biissions, &c, (ic., 'tlrat we were really
afraid: nothing would be left to the honor ol the
Baptists and oilier denominations, and thought
it rather fortunate for us that Methodism was
so young. Still, we must confess that we have
heard fully as much boasting in some Baptist
meetings we have attended, and we really felt
that iconsidering the very wonderful progress
the ha ve made iu the world within the last
hundred j-enrs, a good deal of sclf-gratulatton
was pardonable.
AVe! thought we had kept pace with the de
velopment of the Methodist church throughout
the world, but confess we were not prepared
for the exhibit which was made at the meeting.
OF METHODISM.
John Wesley began his Rvstem with a class"
meeting of some eight cr ten in London in 1739.
The-first Methodist church formed in America
was the John Street, New York, in 176G.
From.; these small beginnings, a little, more
than a hundred years ago. the Methodist church
has assumed stupendous projKrtioris. J
The summary, given in the Methodist
Almanao for 1876, is as follows :
I 1 I EPISCOPAL METHODIST IN V. S.
Itinerant Ministers, 1,808; Local Preachers,
1,002; Lay Members, 3,025,427.
r SON-EPISCOPAL METHODIST. v
Itinerant Ministers, 1 8.C-I5 ; Local Preachers,
23.2S2; Lay Members, 147,802.
Tdtal Itinerant Ministers, 20,43- Local
Preachers, 24,384 ; Lay Members, 3,173,229.
Adding the preachers to the members i we
have 3,216,264.
Now, if we take the aggregate of the church
throughout the world there will be according
ito the same-authority,- 2, 591 itinerant preach
ers, pl,44 local preachers, and 7,lb9,10o mem
bers! making u grand total of 4,278,170. If
now; we .estimate three adherents to each mem
ber, ithe usual proportion, the Methodist church
will have a following of 12,334,510 souls.
Am to the church property, lheMethodtt are in
ndv4nceof all others. The census of 1870, pot
dowp their property at $07.854,121 iUe Bapt
ist,i$41,90G,198. Episcopal. $36,514540 the
Presbyterian, $53,265,156, and Koman Catho
lic, 60,985,566.
Nor has their progress in the cause of educa
tion been less extraordinary. The Wesleyans
havf 4 theological seminaries, 9 colleges, "and
903 day schools. The M. K. Church North has
U theological seminaries, 27 colleges and uni
versities and academies and institutes. The
Mt$2. Church South has 2 universities, 17 male
and !30 female Cfdlepes, with 12 academies
making a tp,tal cf 1072 institutions of learning
Under tlys control of thir conferences. j
Looking at thesa Bggregated results! of
Methodism one Is much inclined to agree whh
our (Methodist brethren, who regard John
Wesley as the greatest man of his flay and the
svstcm he projected a the most' remarkable
religious movement of the world Cor the past
three centuries. ' Whatever of erfor may have
attached to their system, they have preached
saving truth, and we thaofc;:God for all the
gocd they have done mi the world. j
We rejoice . too ia the success 'of this cen
tennial celebration.
TUB- SUPIIEJIK COURT ON THE
! i KNFOUCKMENT ACT. !
i ! - 1:. BiLTlMOKE 8CN.1 "
Oo Monday tbe Supreme Court announced its de
cision, so , lung delayed, in the irant piiii and
the Kentucky etoctiou cases, arising onuer the eu
fuiceoieot act or j May. St, tali). The Louisiana
case, a many ot par readers may reinembtir, was
an indictment against certain iuUiviUuals ot tiraut
parish, iu (hat tite, based upon tection G ol the
ttctj known as- thtf lJiu-klux"l or ' conspiracy" sec
don; imposing the punishment of fine notexceea
ing 15,000) and ipriboniueiit (not exceeding ten
years), .for the oE'ebse or ban4ing or conspinug to
gether, or goiug ia disguifce Upon tbe highwsy, &c,
with intern W injure, oppress or intimidate any
citizen, or to prevent or hinder his free exercise and
enjoyment ot any jright granted or secured by the
coast.tutioa or liws ol ti e! United Mates The
Kentucky case was an iudtctnieut founded upon
sections 4 and 4, 4f the samel act, against two in
spectvrs of municipial etection in ihat'btate. for
refusing to receiv aud count at such election the
votiej of a citizen of the United fctales of African del
sceut.. Koth easels came befdie the Supreme t'on.t
upjn a ceititicateiuf division if opiniou between thfe
tlei judges of the Circuit Court lor the districts id
which the cates aiote. In tbe Louisiana cete. af
ter! verdict of j&u Ity ujon all tl e counts of the
indictment, sixteen iu uuuibvr, jud:i,cnt Lad been
ariested upon motion by order bi-the presiding
jadje, which order tbe Supreme Court has no.v
aflirmed and ordered the discharge ot the parties
indicted. In thej I Kentucky case, the indictment I
having been held pack on uemurrer by the circuit
judge in the court below, that decision is in like
manner affirnied with the same result to the parties
under indictment viz: that they are discharged.
The immediate and practical result in both cttses
therefore, is the same, v.z: that the court has deci
ded that no, conviction can be had, w hich, bo far,
is gratifying and satisfactory, at all events to the
traversers and their friends. Other results Were
anticipated, however, from the decision of thete
cases by the tribunal of last resort. It was expect
ed that the vexedjquestion of the constitutionality
of the act under which the indictments were found
would be definitely if not foievtr seltiedaud put to
rest. This, it is to be regretted, tLe court has not
done. It has decided tLe cases, but not the ques
tion wliich the eases wtie supposed to laihe. In
the Louisiana case the judgment of the court is
unanimous Justice t'liitoid concurring ; in the
'judgment while dissenting fioni the opinion, 'ihe
opinion of tLecourtJn each case is tiebvcicd by
Chief Justice Wiite, and characterized, so tar as
the questions touched upon and the points decided
go, by great simplicity, diieituets and cicarne&s of
expression and style. 0 far as they go, theie
fore. they are entitled teas much weight as can
attach to any decision of the court. Pel baps the
best explanation; of the unanimity of the court in
these cases is to be fouud in the careful avoidance
of all questions extent what' were absolutely neces
sary to their decisiou. Uufortunately the 'consti
tutional question' happens not to have been oueol
these, the Louisiana case is disposed ot from the
point of view of i criminal pleader rather than the
constitutional lawyer. Ihe sixteen cuuuts of the
tlrant parish indictment aie severally pamdin ie
view and pronounced fatally defective for several
reasons tor failing to chage an oE'ense made in-,
dietable by act of Congress ; for failing to show that
the wrong complained of was committe d "on ac.;
count of race, color," Ac , oltl.e pcisons upon whom
it was committed; for tailing to give not ce to the
accused of the ecitic nature ot the oCense w ith
which they were! -charged; -tor geneial vagueness.'
uncertaintj', and being defective iu form and
substance. .. .
JVf the two decjsions the opinion in the Kentucky
case is by far the more impoitant. It deals not
wnth the defects jof the indictment, but of the law,
upon which the indictment is founded. The couit
hold, in substamje, that "the hfteenth amendment
has iuvj-ted -citizens of the United States with a
NEW CONSTIl CTION AI, KIG11T, whcll is within tlifi,
protecting power of Congress." lhat right is N.OTj
as is so otteu erroneously asset u d, the right of sul
frage, which thei court expiessly saj in the Crani
aiisli case, affirming the.r leccnt dcclaiation in
Minor vs. Hoppehsett, 21 Wallace, to the ;ame ef
fect, the .const.tdtion -of the United t-'tates has not
conferred upon any one, "am that the Umiku
fclTATES UAVK SO VOTE'KS CB THEIR OWN fUEATlON'ii
in; tue ' States." it is the right of "exemption!
from- discr-nimatjion in the excrcists of the elecHve j
franchise on account of rate, color, or previous;
condition of seryitiide. Jws ngl.l, m. erthe ex-i
press provisions pt the second section cf the ameiidri
ment, Congress inay eulorce by "appropriate lecis-'
latiOD." That legislation may, of couise, embrace
the case of munlcpal and fitute elections equally ;
with federal elections. i!j
I t must be cotitined, however, within the fcoj e;
arid purposes of (he constitutional amendment, it
is not every wrojigful refusal to receive the vote of
a qualified elector at a Mate election that Cor.giosi
lias constitutional power to punish Its "power td;
legislate at all upon li e n,l ject i f voting' tit stalls!
elctiomrrests ufon the amti.dD.ent." and 'it is oui
ly; wlieu the wrongful refusal at such an eUctii n d
because of raccjcolor or previous condition cf strv-f
itode that Congas can inteifeie and provide loir:
its punishment.' Neither ti e third nor fourth sec
tions of the "enforcement act" of Mav 31. IST0. suui
confined in leiis to cates in viohiticn of the iif
teenth amendment. They are couched in language
broad enongh toj cover any case of "wrongful relui
sal," and upon any ground or in the case of any
person. They are not, therefoie in the judgment
of the court, "appropriate legislation" for the eri
fbrcement of theinlteenth amendmert. or the iipht
wliich that amendment is specifically intended tiii
secure. They tiianscend its provisions, and the
court therefore dannot. without usuipirg il.e Irgisi
lathe function and mnkii p a new law instead of
enforcing an old one. give effect to these sect'ionpj
Any indictment founded upon them is necessarily
bad, and falls to, the ground with the statute .itself,
