General Conference, Methodist Kpla
* copal Church, South.
The Conference met at tho time fixed by
rule. Bishop Payno presided.
?Rev. Mr. Abbey submitted tho report of
tho publishing house at Nashville, which
was referred to the Committee on Books
and Periodicals.
Bishop Early introduced the delegates
from the Baltimore Conference, which, in
February last, at Alexandria, gave in their
adhesion to the Church, South.
Dr. Doggett made a motion, seconded by
Dr. Deems, that the delegation be received
.and recognized as members of this General
Conference. This motion prevailed, the
Conference rising to voto.
Rev. Dr. Sargent and Rev. Dr. Poysal, of
the Baltimore delegation, addressed the
Conference, and expressed thc strongest
attachment to the church they had come
to join. They represent a body of Chris?
tians numbering 30,000, and lui ministers.
The Episcopal address was then read to
the Conference, and was universally re?
ceived with indications of the strongest ap?
proval and admiration. It was referred to
the . Committee on Booka and Publica: ion.
Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer, D. D., of the
Presbyterian Chnrch, was introduced to
the Conference. The Doctor acknowledged
the courtesy in appropriate remarks, and,
by invitation, took a swat within the bar.
Conference then adjourned.
"ifcZv>?> Orleans Crescent, 8th.
The Conference assembled on Saturday
morning, at the usual hour, 9 o'clock.
Bishop Payne presided.
A resolution waa passed confirming the
division of the Alabama Conference iu to
two-the Montgomery and the Mobile Con?
ferences-and these "were severally recog?
nized.
On motion, it was resolved that a select
committee of niue should ba appointed to
report upon proposed changes m the econ?
omy of the church, and a communication
from the Methodist Protestant Annual
Conference in Mississippi, offering to unite
with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, if lay representation were accorded,
was ordered to be referred to that com?
mittee.
A number of memo rials were presented
from various conferences and churches, re?
lating to the depository at St. Louis, to
class-meetings, to the abrogation of the
rule for receiving members on trial, to cer?
tificates o' church membership, to exam?
ination for pastoral administration, to the
extension of the term of the itinerate pas?
torate, to causes of excommunication, to
bequests made to the church, to the boun?
dary Une between the Mobile and the Mis?
sissippi Conferences, to closed churches,

with notes explanatory of the circumstance*
under which they were affixed in the ab?
sence of those pastors themselves.
The financial rdport of the publishing
bouse in Nashville was read and referred
to the Committee on Books and Periodi?
cals. It showed a very favorable state of
affairs, considering all the trials through
which it has passed during tho past five
years. The debts due to tho houso are
some 150,000 or $60,000, and the available
assets perhaps twice as much more. Of
the debts, one-half may bo collected.

tution of thc missionary society, lt was

euee, of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church.

priately referred.
A memorial was presented from the

gregations -ore determined to continuo

[New Orleans Crescent, 9th.
Th? Threatened Trouble tn Karo pe.
The news brought by thc steamer I
Belgian, yesterday, presents two
phases ol the threatened Austro
Prussinn difficulty, one of which cer?
tainly might be interpreted to mean
?war, and the other wearing au aspect
of prospective peace. Prussia and
Austria have put themselves upon a
?war footing. Great military prepara?
tions are advancing in both countries.
This points to a warlike issue. Aus?
tria, meantime, is willing, it appears,
to refer the questio vexata of the right
of property in the Duchies to a Eu?
ropean congress. This would seem
to indicate a peaceful solution of the
difficulty. The English papers fore?
see a speck of war. The Times, in?
deed, declares that it is inevitable;
but in the absence of more positive
news, wo must deal with the proba?
bilities. We are inclined to think
that Austria looks to an ultimate com?
promise at the time that she is pre?
paring for war. The supremacy of
the two leading powers in the Ger?
man Confederation-Austria and
Prussia-is the real question at issue
in this quarrel about the Duchies.
I Prussia has probably the strongest
j grip upon Holstein, but Austria is not
likely to surrender her claims with?
out a quiifpro quo -say, for example,
a certain sum of money, which may be
the smallest part of the arrangement,
and the most essential one -that cf a
guarantee that she shall receive pro?
tection and support in case nay diffi?
culty should occur with Russia in thc
Danubian principalities, or in the di?
rection of thc Bosphorus, which may
arise at any tirm\. This is probably
the result which Austria anticipates
from a European congress. It can?
not be expected that she will surren?
der her rights in the matter without
a compromise favorable to her inter?
ests. The smaller German powers
are evidently averse toa war between
the two Titans of the confederation,
and equally indisposed to hare the
quarrel settled by the intervention of
other nations. They argue that the
national sentiment of Germany would
be broken up either by war or inter?
vention, and that, therefore, general
! interests, and not party considera?
tions, should influence the actiou of
both countries. "When the two
shall have mutually weakened each
other, and tho conqueror shall think
the moment come to reap the fruits
of his victory," says the Munich
Gazelle, "the foreigner will step ??
and claim the prize." Therefore,
while these views prevaU, we are dis?
posed to think that the difficulty in
Central Europe will be ultimately
settled without an appeal to the arbi?
tration of the sword, despite the hos?
tile attitude assumed by the two
powers interested in the Holstein
question.-New York Herald.
RADICAL LOOIO.-Butler thought
he made a good point when he used
the following language in speaking of
the negro troops: "Who shall say
j that such men, so willingly periling
I their lives to save the country, are
not fit to take part in the choosing of
their own rolers and in enacting their
own laws in the country which they
have helped to save from their rebel?
lious foes?" Very well. But putting
aside the important fact that this
"help" was largely due to the draft,
and to enormous bounties, and to
substitutes from Massachusetts, we
find the logic of this about as good as
that to which old Sam. Johnson ob?
jected on having his attention called
to the vigor of the line "who rules
o'er freemen should himself be free."
"Yes," returned the logical old bear,
i;just as true as this, 'who slays fat
oxen should himself be fat.' " But?
ler's reasoning won't do. Let him
quit logic and give ns something
else -an essay, for example. "Life
in a Bottle," or "Woman and Her
Oppressors," would suit Iiis calibre.

HEAVY. DEFALC ATION OK A CHICAGO
BROKER.-A despatch from Chicago,
! dated the 4th, says:
There is some excitement n< finan?
cial circles, caused by tho defalcation
of B. H. Badger, a stock broker and
gold speculator of this city. The
immediate cause of his failure is re?
ported to be losses sustained by thc
j decline in gobi. The principal suf?
ferers are merchants, and the Second
j National Bank of this city, who pur?
chased from Mr. Badger, yesterday,
New York exchange to the amount of
$23,000, for which Mr. B. promised
to bring gold to the amount of $20,
(XXI as security for payment of drafts
on New York, but which promise he
failed to keep. Besides these drafts
there arc other checks outstanding.
Near Reese River, in California,
there is an isolated mountain, about
600 feet high, whose entiro surface on
all sides, from summit to base, is
covered with agates. Upon digging
into the soil they are found like po?
tatoes in a hill. They aro oval in
shape, and from one to four inches
in diameter.
The Upper House of the Provincial
Parliament ol New Brunswick, on
Friday, adopted, by a vote of thirteen
to five, the resolutions urging con?
federation according to the Quebec
scheme, which, together with an ad?
dress asking that tho question of the
union of the North American Pro?
vinces be submitted to tho action of
the Imperial Parliament, were for?
warded to tho Queen of England.
Two scientific gentlemen of Prague
recently analyzed a green dress, and
discovered no less than two minces of
arsenic in it. It follows, therefore,
that green dresses, which are now
l>ecomin? "all the rage," are abso?
lutely poisonous.
There is a blind lawyer in Stafford,
New Hampshire, who, in addition to
doing a comfortable law business,
carries on a farm, a claim agency and
two stores, in which goods aro sold
annually to the amount of about
$20,000.
Sir Hugh Henry Rose, the new
Commander-in-Chief of tho British
army in Ireland, has seen hard ser?
vice in India, and is the mau who
blew the Sepoy leaders from the
mouths of his cannon.
At a recent fancy dress ball, given
by the ultra-fashionables of Paris,
Asia was represented by a Russian
lady, whose hair, arms and dress
blazed with the light of diamonds.
Her entire outfit cost $800,000.
