The action of the New York Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, as noted in the sub
Joined article from the New York JOI8pa! Of Com
y7erce of the 18th inst will be gratifying not only
to the members of that Church in the South but to
those who do not sympathze with its religious te-
nets as showing that better feeling is manifesting
itself in the religious community Of the North,
where heretofore the most bitter feeling has been
exhibited towards Southern shareholders. May we
not hope hata change for the better has thus been
inaugurated The Journal Of Commerce says:
The New York Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church have safely emerged from the dis
tracing slavery discussion which has occupied
most Of its time for several days. The exciting de-
bate went over the whole ground of the slavery
question, in its religious moral social and political
bearings from the earliest Biblical mention Of do
nestle servitude down to the present time. Every
body who could talk. had an ample opportunity TO
present his particular views, and everybody who
could not OF who wisely concluded that there was
nothing new to offer on such threadbare topic,
had plenty of time for reflection. The action Of the
Conference was, therefore. deliberate, and was the
result of a very liberal and thorough interchange
of views. And it was as follows: The resolutions
from the Erie Conference asking the New York
Conference to recommend the several Conferences
to change the slavery rule to exclude all slave
holders. without distinction, from the Church, was
lost bv the overwhelming vote Of l23 to AZ. \ sub
stitute designed to catch the votes OF cOmpromIs-
ers limited the accommodation to those VINO hold
slaves for mercenary or selfish purposes, but
even this was defeated, by vote Of 81 to 80. Had
the substitute been offered an original resolution,
and not as a compromise, it would probably have
received a much smaller vote But small the
majority was against this insiduous resolution, 1t
was enough to defeat it. and to secure the vote Of
New York in the next General Conference TO be
held in Buffalo on the lst Of May) for the conserva

Yesterday a number Of delegates who were alb

GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN Quincy ILI--The
election in this city yesterday resulted in glorious
Democratic triumph After the hardest fought bat
tie that the Democracy of Quincy have ever been
called upon to participate IN, victory perches upon
the Democratic banner. We have elected our May
or by over one hundred majority! Last year the
Black Republicans elected their Mayor by tiUe l1ul-
bred and fy majority On our general ticket we have
elected out of twelve fourteen candidates all but
two or three by decided majOrtes and have elected
four ont Of the sir Aldermen. Taking all things into
consideration this is the nOblesi triumph ever
achieved by the Democracy of Quincy. The Black
Republicans last year carried the city by maOrities
ranging from four hundred to eight hundred. Now
the Democracy have carried it by more than one
hundred. Was ever such a revolution in one short
year known before? At the hour we write eleven
O'Clock at night the Democracy are marching
through the streets with music and banners, and
the shouts of exuitatiOn going up long, loud
and strong. We could write much more. but we
want to be with them. The fact is, we can't write
any more to-nght-mUst go with that crowd I!
Hurrah for Quincy and her iHvinCible Democracy
p S.-Since the above was written, we learn that
the Democracy have made cecH SICeeD, without the
loss of a man on our general ticket We supposed
when we wrote the above that we had lost one
or two of our candidates the general ticket, but
at the hour we now write twelve o'clock we learn
that we have net lost man-Quacy Herald, Apr. Il.

oner named J. T. Smith, charged with kidnapping
free boy IN Philadelphia, was arrested in this city,
and last week delivered up on a requisitOn from
the Governor of Pennsylvania. The officer, B. Levy,
on his return, took passage with Smith over the
Baltimore and Ohio road. On Sunday morning, as
the express train, conductor Phelps, was few
miles east Of New Greek station, proceeding at
about the rate of thirty miles hour the prisoner
stated TO Lew that he very unwell, from eat
inc some fresh meat at Grafton and desired to 90 to
Inc wa.er-closet The officer took the handouts
from Smith, and granted his request. He not ap-
nearing again as soon as expected, the officer went
to the closet door, and discovered that the prisoner
had made his escape, by Jumping from the window
of the car. The train stopped, as soon as II
reached the nearest station, and Levy, with some
men. went back to the locality where the man was
supposed to have made the dangerous leap, expect
/ inc to find him dead or crippled. He was however
not to be SEEM but tracked several miles up the

Accordingly, a collection was made, value sci

fitably out of the contest and has risen from being
scarcely fourth-rate Power to the condition Of
third-rate Power in Europe.
In the Florence correspondence Of the London
Times, we find the same points illustrated much in
our own way, but with some difference Of figures:
The Grand Duchy Of Tuscany covers a surface
Of % 345 square kilometres and its population IN
1859 was 1907 600 souls The population of the
principal towns is-tlorerce, $4,000; LeghOrn
about so 600: Sieua q 600; Lucca $4,000, Pisa, %
600. The revenue in 1859 80 $50 lIre ithe lire
is equal Gle FrenCE the public debt in 1851, go
600 900 lire. The army was 10000 men, with 1000
gendarmes. The merchant shipping employed 9jy
vessels with 50 600 tons.
The area of the Duchy of Parma is 5,S72 square
klomrt tres inhabited by 50T 400 souls The city Of
Parma numbers 4l.OOO inhabitants; Piacenza 30 OOO.
The revenue in 1889 was 95OOOOOf; the public debt,
100000; the army, on the peace footing, 1000.
"MOdena has a surface of 6O36 square kllome-
tres and population Of 6O5,l94 souls. The capt
tai boasts Of $1,000 inhabitants Reggie, $4,000. The
revenue in 1851 nearly S,jUOOOOf, the debt r.,
600 900; the army, 5000 men,
The four Legations. constituting them wealth
of the Papal domn'ons, have population Of l,Ol4,-
l05 souls. Bologna numbers "A, ~ inhabitants.
Altogether the population Of Central Italy
amounts 70 3 933Z99 souls which, added TO the
Sardo LOmbardian ota,e OF 951,j4I, makes whole
of ll.OlO. $40 Deduction being made for Savoy
and Nice the population would remain ll,l73,4lO
embracing by far the sOundesl. wealthicst, and most
thriving division Of the Italian Peninsula.
The results of both statements are nearly alike,
which speaks for the general accuracy Of each.
YcroR EMANUEL. who completed his forteth year
on the 18th March, is yet young enough to build up
q Kingdom much greater than that which he now
governs Venetia in allikehhood, viii pass into his
possession with population Of nearly two mil
lions and half Further portions Of the estates OF
the Church will probably be alienated, ere long
nor is it wholly improbable that thc Kingdom of Ma
pies (the Two Sicilies) with population Of $1,000
GEO. may also be incorporated with that Of Sardinia
unless the Emperor NAPOLEON may prefer placing
the son Of MuRAT, or Prince NAPOLEON (sOn Of VIC
TOR EynNUEI-) upon the NeapOlitan throne. If Ma
pies were annexed to Sardinia, augmented as the
latter has lately been, YICToR Emanuel would pos
sess a Kingdom several millions more poPulous
than Prussia.
