GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE NJ. L. CHURCH
SoUru.-NAsuv1LLE, May l9.-Tbe report
of tho Committee on Class Meetings came up
TODAY, and debate has commenced that Is
likely to be cut off by the precious question.
The committee reported adversely 10 she pc
tition of the meuoriais,s. On its presenta-
tion 10 the Conference, a substitute was offer
ed for the report, which proposes all that the
memorislists ask for. a long and strong
discussion is the issue. 1t was before the
Conference at the time of the adjournment to-
dsy. and continues the order OF the day Tor
Tomorrow. The substitute proposes to place
class meetings on the same ground OF other
strongly recommended pradenttdt means OF
grace. 1t meets with extensive favor IN the
Conference, but cannot fOretcll lis fate. 1t
may fail.
The committee to whom the memorial for
Lay'delegatiou was referred reported adverse
Iy to the petition, assigning as one strong
reason against it, that 50 lar as the wish VI
the church generally is concerned, 1t Is not
desired The people prefer not to have the
change. The Annual Conferences were left
1t liberty to incorporate the Lay element to
any extent they may deem advisable. The
General Conference holds itself in position to
treat with the membership oC the subject
whenever they make movement in that d.
rection. The memorials before the Confer
euce on the subject Of Lay delegations came
up from the preachers, not ne td6y. Inc
preachers seem to be lar more anxious 10 IN
corporate this element in the law-maklng de-
partnent Of the Church than the member
ship.
MAY 2O-It is hardly probable that the
Conference will break up before the lst OF
June. Much important business has yet to
be acted on. The boundary question alone
will give room for a long debate and a pretty
warm one. Ii has, by its unfortunate con
nexons, all the bitterness of the old squabbie,
and nothing but the trmess and wisdom OF
the Bishop will keep down the spirit which
turks beneath. Little is said yet of the cleo
tion OF Editors, Agents &c. DR.. Myers Is
spoken of for the book agency and will proba-
bly be notwithstanding Dem.

From variety Of sources known to the

have been much gratifed to witness the
increasing trade and travel on the Manas-

on this road, during the fall and winter,
will be more than double what it is now;
and when completed, the business OF the
