Methodist Conference.

This body after having been occupied for nearly
two weeks with business OF comparatively lees inter
es,ng kind on Saturday took up the case OF Rev j. C.
Green who ia charged with maconduct in receiving
Rev j. N Maitt into the Church after he (Mr NJ mad
refused acknowledge the authority OF an ecclesiastical
tribunal The case involves Interesting points 10
the government of the Church, which, as IS known Is
conducted not by the members but by the Clergy
II appears that Mr.. Msit had joined the Norfolk st. NJ.
t. Church in this City, OF which Rev. ;. Marhndae IS
the pastor on a proper certificate from some other
Church. While preaching in connection with that
Church, Committee, consisting OF Rev DIT Peck new
Daniel Smith and Rev. NJ l.. Scudder was appointed TO
prepare charges against him Before the trial came on
Mr. Maitt had 90 South and received certificate OF
membership from Mr. Msrtndale, he promising 10 re-
turn in time meet the charges in question BY virtue
of this certificate Mr.. Maff aferward joined the Cen
enpary NJ h. Church in Brooklyn, under the charge OF
Rev j. C.. Green and demanded his trial there. Mr. o.
accordingly named time for it and proceeded 10 the
business The prosecuting Committee however denied
the right of Mr. Marudae TO dismiss Mr.. Mahtt wnie
charges standing against him. said that Mr. Greene
had right 10 receive him. and complained 10 the bsh
op who decided in their favor Mr.. Maht refuses to
submit 10 this decision not in accordance with the
discipline of the Church and refuses to be tried at Nor
folk st unless Mr. Martndale will assume the response
bility of trying him without legal authority lie claims
10 be member of the Centenary Church and says That
there only he ought TO be tried
The Conference have decided, In the course OF the
present session, against Mr. Marndele Tor having grant
ed the certificate of membership; the Board Of the
Norfolks st. Church had however, previously decided
that Mr. Mafitt not member OF that body. Ihs
left him a Church member nowhere the Bishop having
decided that he did not belong TO the Centenary
Church. Tho Committee, in consequence, published
the statement In the Adcocdte and Journal on which Mr.
Mafiitt has sued them for libel.
On Saturday the facts Of the case were heard, and
afterward argued upon by Dr. Peck In speech OF sone
hours In length, in which he contended that Mr.
Green had committed great offence agans. the rules
of the Church and that if he exonerated the whole
structure of Mehodism would receive serious blow.
The discussion is to be continued. We shall furnish
the public with full and faithful reports of it.
