The Conference assembled at ' the ap
H pointed hour yesterday morning,
A despatch hom Nashville was laid be-.
torn tho Conferencer announcing that Bi?
zi ?bop Soule was v?ry ill anA-not "l?k?ly to'
survive.
A-resolution to refer the question of
" changing tho. name ot the church to the
anuna! conference was presented, aud for
this a substitute was" offered, Twovidiug :
that a convention shall bo called. A lengthy
discussion ensued, in which the latter pro?
position was generally repudiated, without
any desire to adopt thc other being mani?
fested. Both* tho original resolution and
the substitute were laid upon the table.
r The firsj; report of the Committee on
Missions, which proposes.to alter tkepre-.
sent organization of the church, particu?
larly by creating two boards, one to ma?
nage thc foreign affairs of thc church and
tho other those at home, was called np.
A lengthy discussion ensued upon thc
various articles of the report. Tho points
which elioited the warmest arguments
were tho propositions in roferenco to tho
collections for home and foreign purpose?
Oh the one hand, it was urged that Ondes
I he present method of collecting only once
a year, not nearly so much monoy wouhl
be collected as by making woekpy ail(j
monthly collections of small Binns while
tho latter would bo much more canvonient
and much more agreeable to the members
of the church-, ami that the collections
made for home aud foreign purposes re?
spectively ought to be kept sopar ato, and
disposed of according to the intent of thc
contributors. On the other band, it was
contended that it was vory doubtful if so
much money Would bo collected in small
and often repealed contributions as by thc
present method, while they woidd certainly
be much more irksome to the members.
A number of reports aiid resolutions
were iutroducecd and referred to appro?
priate committees, or laid over under the
rule.
The Conference sat till after SoVlock,

The varying estimates which are"
put.ou the number of laborers in th?
LSo?th devoted toogricsttur?, and OH
the amount of cotton to be produced
by these laborera th? coming season,
prove undeniably either the elements
Of Southern labor ave profoundly
disorganized in condition and uncer?
tain as to results, or that data on tlie
subject are wholly insufficient to form
a" basis of correct g?nerai conclusions.
Some respectable ' authorities have
differed to the extent ot 1,500,600
bales in estimating. the number of
laborers. Os the one band, 3,000,000
bales are confidently assumed as the
cotton crop of the season; on the
other -hand, it is asserted, with not
less, confidence, that 1,500,000 is a
figure Iii at will amply cover aH the
cotton that can be made the present
year .by the available labor in thc
South. It is useless, as some are
disposed to do, to try to adjnst these
discrepancies on the basis of splitting
the difference; for where the differ?
ence is so wide, and consequently
where ascertained facts are so few,
the correct figure is about as likely to
be outside as between .the varying
estimates.
This large variance, which fluctu?
ates with the shifting phases of the
labor problem., and .the irregular
statements of hypothetical data, is
to be regreted. It indicates a margin
in. the cotton market for correspond?
ing uncertainty and fluctuation,
which, if they foster the spirit of
speculation, and favor an unwhole?
some species of commercial gambling,
are iii an equal ratio calculated to
discourage the solid enterprise which
always looks to something more than
precarious and coujectnrable results.
Fortunately, the agricultural situa?
tion iu the cotton States is begin?
ning, if we mistake not, to present a
more definite and satisfactory aspect.
The time for sowing the cotton seed
is now at hand, and the quantity of
land previously prepared for the seed
by ploughing and otherwise can now
be ascertained; as also the number of
hands regularly employed in cotton
cultivatiou. lu t .is connection, we
are glad to have it in our power to
point to the result of recent observa?
tions iu the cotton regions of the
South by a planter of experience and
intelligence, Gen. Albert Rust, for?
merly of Arkansas, now .residing in
the Parish of Ouachita, La. Oen.
Rust, as we are informed, concludes
from , what he saw in an extended
tour recently made through the
Southern States, that the area of cot?
ton cultivation the present year is
not less than one-half of what, it was
before the war;
This conclusion is sustained by the
tenor of intelligence couveyed by the
country papers in this and other
States concerning the progress of
agriculture in various localities. The
limitation of cotton cultivation to the
half of what is was formerly is fixed
only by a positive lack of labor for
extending it further. We must infer
from this that not less than on. -half
of the former number of agiicnl. .ral
laborers in the South bas been extin?
guished in five years, or has been
withdrawn from agriculture. The ex?
tinction and the withdrawal have
been, perhaps, about equal. If so,
1,000,00(1 blacks must have perished
from the commencement of the war
to this time, and 1,000,000 must have
been diverted from agriculture;
whereupon, 2,000,000 would remain
from which to draw able-bodied lield
hands for makiug cotton. Suppose
these to be one-fourth of that num?
ber, 500,000 effective laborers would
constitute the whole cotton tilling
force of the South. Under the new
system of labor, no one has ventured
to claim over four bales to the hand.
As to the present disposition of
freedmen to live up to their contracts
by reasonable good faith and per?
sistency, information from the inte?
rior of this State, and from some
o'her States, is of a highly gratifying
nature. We publish elsewhere some
testimony of this character, contained
in the letter of an intelligent corres?
pondent at Monroe, La., and in the
editorial remarks of two newspapers,
one at Monroe, La., speaking of the j
crop prospects in the Ouachita district,
and the other at Natchitochcs, re?
porting the situation in the sann: re
gard in one of the line planting re?
gions bordering ou Ked River.
lt is to be noted that the particular
testimony referred to comes from
points comparatively sequestered,
and where the freedmen or their em?
ployers are least likely to be disturbed
by political agitations and passions.
This fact may be cited, along with
many others, to sustain th?' argument
of President Johnson that one of the
strongest guarantees of tho personal
rights, and the welfare of black la?
borers in the South, is tho urgent
need which exists lhere for their la
I bor. Mutual interest would soon ad?
just the relations of thc Southern
whites and blacks on terms of such
I advantage to the latter as to satisfy
the most ardent negrophilist, il* he
were bonest. in his professed friend?
ship.-New Orleans vee.

- T!ic Coming Kart Iiqusv lie.
There are varions ihdioatioriB in
the political heavens of the coming
"earthquake" to which Thad. Ste?
vens referred when President John?
son got after him. .
.The redaction of the radical ma?
jority from 11,000 to. COO, indicates
the coming storm, when the, people
are called upon to vote for Repre?
sentatives to Congress, next fall.
In St. Louis, the strongest castle
of radicalism in the country, the
friends of Andrew Johnson have not
only overcome 3,300 radical majority,
in twelve months, hut they have ac?
tually carried their ticket hy a ma?
jority of over 3,000 votes, a loss to
the radical party of about 6,500. This
shows one of ?the most colossal revul?
sions in public opinion which has oc?
curred anywhere for years past.
At the municipal ? election in St. ;
Joseph, last Friday, the voto for
?mayor was, Pinger, 548; Beattie,. 576;
Penniok, 394. Beattie and Pennick
were both Johnson men, so that not
only a Johnson man was elected, but
tho Johnson vote, combined, gave a
majority of 422 over the radical anti
Johnson vote.
Mr. A. W. Cooper, conservative,
was, last week, elected mayor of Glas?
gow, Missouri. "With one exception,
the entire conservative ticket was
elected.
At the late Leavenworth, Kansas,
election, Thoma, Carney, Johnson
Republican candidate for mayor, re?
ceived 2,506 votes, and Benj. F.
Aiken, anti-Johnson, 906, leaving Mr.
Carney a majority of 1,600. The
balance of the Johnson ticket was
elected by majorities ranging from
989 to 1,743.
At a recent election in Springfield,
Illinois," the vote showed a Republi?
can loss of 400 since the last election,
with conservative majorities ranging
from 150 to 200.
Jackson township, Indiana, has
just given a conservative majority of
twenty-eight. In the last Presidential
election, it gave fifty-eight majority
for Lincoln.
The friends^of Andrew Johnson, in
Marion, Ohio, have just elected a
mayor-thc first time in twelve years'
There has been a groat re-action in
Clermont County. Batavia, which
gave them eighty majority iu Octo?
ber, is now about even, with part of
both tickets elected. Stouelick town
ship, which was Republican last fall,
is now Democratic by twenty-five ma?
jority. These are specimens of the
whole country.
At a recent election at Pottsville,
Schuylkill County. Pennsylvania, the
friends of Johnson carried the recent
election for justices, by an average
majority of sixty votes. Heretofore,
the Republicans have carried their
ticket by from 500 to TOO majority.
Pennsylvania is claimed by some
of the Johnson mon by 50,000, but
we don't believe it. But these straws
show the way the wind is blowing,
and justify the President's convic?
tion that the people will sustain his
policy.
On the coming elections, the Bos?
ton Commercial says :
"The great contest for Congress?
men, in the autumn, will be one of
momentous importance. If a plan
of reconciliation is not adopted by
the next Congress, we must look for
years of strife and contention, which
will prove disastrous to the best, in?
terests of the whole country. The
South is not in that helpless and sub?
jugated position many suppose. Af
ter one or two harvests, they will be
a richer and stronger people than
they were before the rebellion; ami
if they desire it, much better to con
tend for independence than they ever
were before."-Mem)>his Bulletin.

?EC?BXTTFS OF NATIONAL BAKKJ?.-.
Hon. T. W. Ferry, nienaber of Con?
gress from the Fourth District of
Michigan, presented to the Secretary
df the Treasury a letter from the |
President of the City National Bank
of Grand Rapid?, Michigan, dated
April 5, I860, and addressed to Mr.
Ferry, asking that the law ho so
amended as to allow the reduction of
the amount of securities required
from the National Banks, designated
as depositories of the publie moneys
of the United States, for" deposits of
such piiblic moneys with them, to-the
amount of $25,000.
In reply thereto, the Secretary
says : ' 'The matter of determining the
amount of such securities is confided
hy law to thc discretion of the Secre?
tary of the Treasury. The minimum
now established by regulation is
850,000. While the late rebellion
was in progress, and the operations
of tho Treasury Department extended
into almost every hamlet of the coun?
try, thc services of such financial
agent?? as tho National Banks vere
very Valuable und necessary to thc
successful conduct of said operations.
But with thc close of the rebellion, j
tho Treasury Department, like most i
of tim other branches of the Execu?
tive, finds a reduction of the number |
of such agents necessary for the pro
per conduct <>f thc public business as ]
it now exists. The difficulty of pro
pcrly conducting this business, with
nearly 100 depositories, at, oven the
present minimum amount of 950,000
securities, is daily evinced You may
judge of the increased difficulty of
superintending and preserving au
effective custody of the public funds,
were such minimum amount reduced
to 825,000. For the ab??vu reasons,
it hus become a necessary part of the
policy of this department to decrease,
as fur as practicable, the number of
its depositories, and to increase,
rather than to diminish, thc amounts
of their securities. Tho safety of tin
public moneys, in my judgment, reu
dors this course necessary, and 1.
therefore, cannot justify the desired
reduction. "
THE LICENSE TAX-AGAIN:. In as
sessin tli*? tax upon the licenses of
merchants wlu> have been in husiness
for less than a year, the commissioner
is inquired by the law to i: ascertain
the amouut ?d' sales, by adopting thc
sales for such part of the year us a
basis for the entire year."
That is, if a merchant sells $2,000
worth of goods in the month of April,
and commenced business on the first
of that month, he has to pay a tax on
sab s as if he had been in business
for a year, and sold $24,000 worth.
