The ease was fully argued, the entire bar being

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.

Tho vote on tho third ballot being thus in favor
of 'The Methodist Church," a motion to uni to in
tbo adoption of that naino was carried, by a vote
of HI to 16.
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.
An announcement was also made that arrange
ments bad been made to take a photographia pic
ture of the members of the Conference in a body,
on the plc-nio ground.
The Conference, at four o'clook, adjournod to
meet again at wovon o'clook.
EVErUNO RBHSIOX. ,.
Tho Conference met at 7 P. M , pursuant to ad
journment.
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.
At half-past 10 o'clock tho Conference adjourn
ed, to meettbis morning at nine o'clock.

Deep are the mysteries of God I In the short spaco

prived, by a tender and merciful Father, of two ot tbo
brig' teat lights that adorned tbeir borne. Full of the
tendereat senMt.ilitlea, eanctified from the cradle, her
constant aspiration. "Lord. ? hit wilt Thou have me
to do 7" The sudden death of a brother, ?ho waa wor
thy of a slater's tendereet love, and for whose safety
she had watobod aod prayed durinir the anxious years
Id which the land was convulsed with war, caused this
fair young flower to droop, to languish aod to die.
?clmly entering on the subject ?hen apparently there
was no certain danger, she b*d expressed her perfect
resignation to the will of QoA, ami deflated ?l.at shs
bad no fear ol death. Her mtrclful Saviour waa with
boras she passed through ' the dirk valley," and lit up
her sweet face with the glories He then revealed to her.
Alono, un to oar Father's will,
Une tbought hath reconciled?
That Be. whose tove exeeedeth ours,
Haa taken home His child.
Fold her, O Father, In thine arms,
And let her henceforth bo
A rxessencter of love betirren
Our human hearts and Thee.
And grant that ahe, who, trembling here,
Distrusted all her powers.
May welcome to her holler home
The well beloved ol oars.
