Sletnodlst Bplscopttl Church Conference. [Prom the N. 0. Cretcent of the 26th.] The conference met yesterday morning at the usual hour. A number of reports were presented and laid over under the rules, and other routine business was disposed of. A lengthy disoaaaion took place upon the report in reference to tbe publication of Snnday.scnool books, catechisms, etc. Eventually, in referenco to the principal point, it was resolved to leave it to tho book agent to decide whether books should bo purchased or published by tho ohuroh. A resolution that the present style of the ohuroh?"The Methodist Episcopal church South"?should be changed was offered, and car ried by 109 to 29. A preamble and resolutions, stating tbe reasons for the original adoption of tbe epithet "South," recounting that those reasons no longer exists, and proposing that it should be changed, were thon presented. The question being first pnt on the expunging of tho word "South," it was carried. It wsa then proposed to mako tbe name one of bine suggested in the subjoined order, and they were so balloted for with tne result stated, those not appearing with any votes on the second and third ballots having been dropped : 1st ballot. 3d ballot 3d billot.

A motion to adopt tho name unanimously was objected to. Tbo discussion of tbe subject was even more lengthy than any of the previons ones, keeping the Conference in session tul nearly or qui.o four o'clock in the afternoon. Northing now, hjwevcr, was elicited upon the snbjce . Eventually, tho resolutions of tho report wore adopted seriatim as amended. 'JLho question of tbo adoption of the preamble, and then of tho roport as a wholo was laid over. Notice was given that a train of ears would bo in waiting on Canal street at half-past ono o'clock to-day, to convey mlnietors of the ohuroh to a pic-mo, which the ladies have prepared to givo them.

Tne preamble of the report acted on in tho morning, was taken up, and a substitute for tho original onn was offorod, striking out the relation that reasonu for retaining the word "South" in the namo of tho churches no longer existed. Then, an amendment to this substituto, striking out tho referenco to tho reasons for the original adoption of that term in 1845, was offered; and thus amended the preamble was adopted, affer considerable discussion. A motion being now mado to adopt tho report aia a whole, another very lengthy discussion en sued. Ono momber objeztoa to the dropping of tho word "Episcopal" from the title, as depriving it of its most distinctive oliarartorfotio, and ono which it had borne longer than that of any other church in America; tho Protestant Episcopal Church not having adopted it till fivo yoars after tho Methodist Episcopal Church hud; aud ho also urged that none of the momorisls to the Coufer eiieo had proposed to oxpuogo that word from tho name. By another member it was argued that tho pre sent nanio of tho church had originally convoyed i refer? nee to t he question of tho relation botwoen muster and servant, and that if tho views of tho church upon that point aru tho samo now as thoy always had been, tho word "8<*uth'? ought to bo retnaued, Tho numo "Methodist Episcopal Church" iloiio, he ohjeotcd to as being the same as that adoptad by tho Northern Church. One member vehemently denounced tho name "Motbo ?liit Church * as "ridiculous," "contemptihlo," "fiilBO in ramtunr and faine in fact," "enporla livelv and absurdly arrogant." "not decent, etc.. and lio stigmatized tbo action of thoso who hod ? upported it in a similar strain, tho most modest of tue epithets ho ayviliod to it, bom-/ "a concen tration of hallucination." Subsequently, ho ex plained that ho did not intend any of his remarks to apply to individuals, but that gonerally he meant lili that he hud said, and would in future intensify thorn. A motion was here ran do to insert "Episcopal" before "M?-tliodi?t" in tho titlo. A member contended that one reason at tho hock of tho deairo of soino for tho retention of tho word South" was a political ono; and this ho thought, ?vas tho best rcasou that could bo given for expunging it. A resolution was offered roquestinpr the board of bishops to select a name for tlio church, submit it t i h?.- annual CQttfereuaaa, ami, on its being adopt ed in tli?-ni by a threo-fourths Vota, submit it to the general confeienco for adoption. It was do clartd trat of order. A motion was mado and carried to reconsider tho voto by which tho name "Methodist Church" hml been adopted. Then it was moved to substitute for it "Epiaco pal Methodist Church." Another motion waa made to make it "Metho dist Episcopal Church." E.ich of these motions was loat on boing put. Thou it was moved to adopt the report as a wholo, with tho name "Tho Methodist Church," und tho ayes and noes wero called. Tho motion was carried by 86 to ?8. This gave tbo motion a vote of more than two thirds of tho members prosent; but tho Pr?sident remarked that absent members might come in this morning and vote, and that a question might arise as to whether it required two-thirds of those voting, or two-thirds of the wholo number of members of tho Conference to oarry the motion.
