rem for the Episcopate. Some saw nothing
but sedition, rebellion, and an intention to
overthrow the aged and put up the youth
full in their stead and especially when it
was intimated that Bishop Quinn intended
to lay aside his Episcopal robe. Not SO.
No such thought was entertained. The
correspondent who wrote that letter enter
tains the most profound respect for that
aged sire. His love for him amounts al
most to idolatry. The committee looked
into the matter and found something less
than an intention to degrade our venerable
father, as he and his friends supposed.

A MAY QUEEN FESTIVAL came off on the
evening of the 9th inst. at Bridge street
Church, Brooklyn, for the benefit of the
same, and it seems to be the general opin-
ion that the entertainment has not been
surpassed by any in this vicinity. The
Queen was personated by Miss E. Hall,
and the King by Mr.. F. Thompson. The
idea of May King is original with our
Bridge street friends, and although not a
very poetical one, yet, as it has served
the end had in view, why, "nuf ced."
Their majesties entered their territory (the
hall) about midnight, and after marching
round the room several times, were finally
escorted to the throne, where each made a
neat little speech, thanking their subjects
for the elevated position that they occu-
pied. The Queens trail was bourne by
six maids of honor, but the King had to
carry his own tails-this he did with
a good deal of dignity and grace. The ap-
parel worn by the Queen was exceedingly
becoming. Mr.. ]. Howard also made a
few remarks. The managers Of this festi-
val deserve great credit for the manner in
which they conducted it. The company
was very numerous, but, Notwithstanding
this, we have yet to see the first person
who was not abundantly satisfied with the
arrangements made for his or her entain-
ment The profits accruing are upward
of hundred dollars, which has been faith
fully deposited in the treasury of the
church. If we are to judge from the ap-
pearance of the ladies, we predict that the
dress reform society of Brooklyn will find
it very difficult matter to induce these
dear ones to don their silks and lawns for
plain calicoes. We fear that they under
stand too well the value of these aids to
their personal appearance to throw them
aside, even for SO laudable purpose as
that for which the above named society
was formed. Cupid, who has been max
ing sad havoc in Brooklyn for the last
six months, will, no doubt, have a new
lease of power after this affair.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1860.
Mr. EDITOR = This week has been one
of great excitement here, in consequence
Of the japanese visitors.
The Eastern Star Lodge Of Grand Uni
ted Order of Odd Fellows, celebrated their
eighth anniversary at Israel Church. The
sister Lodges (the Union Friendship and
John f. Cook were out in large numbers,

dresses were delivered on the occasion by

Mr.. EDToR:-In my last I announced
the fact that acommittee of seven judicious
men had been appointed to investigate
certain rumors put in circulation about the
removalof one of our Episcopates. Below
you will find the resolution, by Rev. A.
". Wayman, Of Baltimore, which called
into existence the committee.
The resolution appeared in our last
weeks paper.-ED.
Rev. Thos. M. ID. Ward, of California,
presented his letter from the churches upon
the Pacific coast, giving hattering account
Of the state of things in that region. There
are ten churches, including 210 members,
and 1875 Sabbath school scholars; there are
five public schools the church property is
worth $4,000, and the congregations
good. Most of this state of things has
been brought about by the efforts of our
good brother Ward. The church in that
region asks two favors of the General Con-
ference. LIST. To be set off into an Annual
Conference. I'd. The ordination of a
Bishop to reside in that region. The for
mer has been granted-the latter is under
consideration. Upon the conclusion Of
the reading of this document, by motion
of John M. Brown, Rev. L. M. d. Ward
was requested to deliver missionary dis
course sometime before the adjournment OF
the General Conference. The request was
acquiSced in, and the evening of the 18th
was fixed, and Rev. T. M. d. Ward gave
us really treat of eloquence. Indeed, ]
really thought old Sam Ward had lifted
up his voice in the United States again
Tom is in sight of Sam in point of elo
quence. The race of Wards has not YET
run out.
The Bishops read their Quadrennial AID
dress, which showed the church to be in 9
HOuriShing condition. The points of the
address will be given in my next letter
The mail closes, and / must conclude.

MIR. EDToR:-The Independent Guard"
gave their spring ball on the evening Of
the 25th ult. There was large number
present on the occasion, and the affair was
satisfactory to all concerned. The ladies
are commended for their fine appearance,
their new and splendid dresses adjoining
their beauty with the highest enchantment.
Who was the "belle" the writer is unable
to state from personal knowledge; COM
petent judge, however, awards that honor
to Miss Jane Wanmaker, though several
other bright particular stars emitted their
brilliancy during the evening, The Off
GERS of the Guard are: Captain, j. Smith
LIST Lieut., A. Wanmaker; I'd do, A.
Thompson; Sd do, P. McCabe.

The General Conference at Pitts
burg.

Mr.. EDIToR:-On entering the church
in which the General Conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church in the
United States is now sitting, at eleven
o'clock on yesterday, my mind was most
agreeably impressed with the scene pre-
sented. Immediately in front, on plat
form moderately elevated, sat the three
Bishops, highly respectable and venerable
looking men, with the two secretaries of
the Conference at extremes, right and left
On the floor at either side, and in front of
the platform, sat the members of the Con-
ference, of whom l can only say, at this
moment, that, as a whole, they are highly
creditable in appearance to the Con-
nexion, whose best interests they have met
to serve.
Leaving this highly creditable display
within the "bar' to be described in detail
when more at leisure, I proceed to notice
the assembly without the "bar." First are
the seats of all ministers not members Of
the Conference; next after these generally
sits all gentlemen having business with the
Conference; and after these sits all visitors
and spectators. Yesterday being the first
really fine day since the commencement of
the Conference, afforded the ladies an op.
portunity of showing their interest in its
proceedings; and if it equalled their num-
bers, it must be great, for there was host
of them present-and allow me to add that
I never saw more lovely and apparently
respectable body of women.
The Conference is just now fairly at
work, having consumed nearly all of the
first week in the preliminaries Of organiza-
ton. So far no bad spirit has manifested
itself. A little excitement and confusion
is inseparable from the debates of such
large assemblies, but there is nothing in
them really malicious. AS before intima-
ted, intend, by divine permission, to
write you further of the General Confer
ence, hence, let this suffice for the present.
