SEVENTH DAY-MoRNING SESSION.
THURSDAY Morning, Mays.
The usual exercises preceded the commence
ment of business-Bishop Morris in the Chair.
Journal of yesterday read.
DR. Hannah, delegate from Great Britain,
said he had request to make of the Confer
ence. He asked for the appointment of del
egation from this body to the British General
Conference at its next session, assuring who
ever should be sent heart warm, christian
welcome.
DR.. E. Thompson, of North Ohio, read the
report of the committee appointed to settle
the difficulties arising out of the suit with the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
The report showed settlement of the diff
culties, and termination of the controversy
in regard to the rights OF property.
On motion, the report and accompanying
papers were referred to the Committee on the
Book Concern.
Bishop Waugh presented communication
from the Liberia Mission Conference, which
was referred to the Committee on Missions.
Several memorials were presented, and re-
ports of committees read.
A motion was made and adopted to proceed
with the special order of the day, which was
a case of appeal from the Cincinnati Confer
ence, wherein Mr.. Harlan was the appellant
The case being one of peculiar delicacy, in
volving the character and reputation of one

Reporters and outsiders, generally, being ex-
cluded by vote of the Conference, we took our

or Why does not Prof Larabee give some
explanation of that twenty thousand dollars
he made over and above his salary while SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction? He GER
tainly has ample opportunities oftalking to the
public inasmuch as his reverend name is stuck
at the headof the State organ of the Old Line
party. The Professor must see first rate
prospect of making twenty thousand dollars
more, or he certainly would not have the i'm
pudenee to again offer himself candidate for
the Office of Superintendent after his signal
defeat of last year. But before he tries the
experiment, the people would like to known
how he made the last twenty thousand. The

made to sing-and we don't see why the Pro-
lessor who can talk and won't talk, shouldn't
be made to talk.

Bishop Upsold-Rsv. G. A. Foster.

Bishop Upfold-Rev. G. A. Foster.
Bishop Uphold, of the Episcopal Church, has
been several days in the city. Last Sabbath,
he delivered two admirable discourses, and
also one Monday evening" at St Paul's Church.
Bishop Uphold has many personal friends in
this city, while his name invar ably summons
a crowded congregation of our most intelligent
people to listen to his sermons. Of venerable
and commanding appearance, an elegant read
er and polished scholar, and his discourses al
ways marked by beauty and eloquence, it is
not the name of the Bishop so much as that of
the man which draws these large congrega-
tons We wish his visits could be more fire.
quent.
The Episcopal Church in Evansville is at this
time without Pastor A short time since the
Rev. c. A. Foster removed from this city to
Newport, Ky. DESTROYS of making change,
he received invitations from churches in several
of our largest Western cities, and finally ac-
eepted that which he thought would be most
Ieongenial to his own tastes and the in
terests of his family. Mr.. Foster had resided
in this city as Pastor of st. Paul's church the
last eight or nine years. His departure from
among US is not only severe loss to the con-
gregatiOn of that ch urch, irreparable, we think,
at the present time at least, but source of
sincere regret to his numerous personal friends
outside of as we'll as in his church. Mr.. Eos
ter's scholastic attainments are not merely
such as to grace the theologian and adorn the
pulpit, but to shine among the intelligent
in the private circle, and rank him with the
scientific. AS speaker he is forcible in his
reasoning, profoundly versed in theology, and
often eloquent in his illustrations. Although
he had many admirers here, we never thought
him fully appreciated. We have heard as
beautiful discourses from his lips as any to
which we ever listened, and very rarely SER
mon not above the average of pulpit discour-
ses from those who have not become distin-
guished in this field of labor. That he was not
as successful as many other preachers in the
great object of ministerial labors. the regener-
alton of many souls was probably because his
appeals were more directed to the reason than
to the passions-to the brain than to the in
stincts more closely connected with the physi-
cal nature.
We shall, in common with Mr.. Fosters
many friends in this city, be glad to hear that
his pleasant anticipations in connection with
his new home have been realized. We think
the members of his church in Newport will
have no cause to regret their invitation to Mr..
Foster. If they do there is still an earnest
desire among his friends here for his return.
On the eve of his departure, strong effort was
made to get him to rescind his resolution, and
remain with us. Although unsuccessful il
was at least a compliment to himself, which
we trust he will remember as among the more
Iprecious recollections of those he left behind
him. He and his amiable and accomplished
lady, have our best wishes.

Supporting the Ticket.

Every National American paper in this
State, numbering over twenty, and including
several of the prominent dailies, and upon
whose heads are the names of Fillmore and
Donelson, have come out boldly for the ticket
recently nominated by the Peoples Conven-
ton. Although this ticket was doubtless
not altogether the enc which the preferences
of Americans would have made it, yet there is
no seriously Objectionable name on the ticket
and certainly none but which should be pre-
ferred by Americans to those on the anti-Amer'
lean ticket. The American press will give
the Peoples ticket their earnest support-not
perhaps as their choice but as infinitely theil
preference over theO Id Line ticket.
This fact is giving the Sag NIGHTS great
trouble. For months they have been solacine
themselves with the idea, that their opposition
would enter the campaign dispirited by divi-
sion, and fighting feebly as the divided only
can fight, and fall an easy prey to the enemy
But on the contrary, they behold those who
are divided in some respects upon national pol
icy, uniting in the State policy of defeating
Old Lineism-raising their banners with en-
thusiasm, sending abroad watch ories of en-
couragement, and boldly planting themselves
with united frontagainst that party which il
led by thirsty office-seekers--who wish once
more to baton on official corruption. Th
state of things breathes sad disappointment t.

why those opposed TO the corrupt Old Lin
party in this State, and who know that tn
very prosperity of Indiana depends upon thes
office-seeking sharks being kept out of tn
public crib-should permit difference on
single national question to divide them ant
weaken their opposition to this party. Hap
