There is no longer any doubt that the
late election in the city Of Chicago was
carried by the Republicans BY fraud. The
game was to occupy the time Of the inspec.
tors in the Democratic wards in desidug
upon the legality Of challenged votes, SO
that large numbers Of Democrats found i,
impossible to vote before the time for clos
ing the polls. 1t is also stated that nes
two thousand voters were imported into
the city by the Wentworth men for the ex
press purpose of carrying the election. In
speaking of this, the Western Railroad
Gazette. q paper that seldom discusses po
litical matters, says:
Long John and his minions or special
workingtools under his i'm mediate direction
will do and can do more interruptions
acts than any other man or set Of men
ever dreamed of We verify believe tina,
Gurnee was elected last Thursday by a
majority of from three to FIVE hundred
votes Of the actual citizens of Chicago.

GTIt appears from the following Dispatch
that the Anti Slavery resolution having been
rejected for lack OF two-thirds vote, The
General Conference Of the Methodist Church,
by d vote OF three TO one, adopted the new
chapter.
BUrrALo, May 3l.--The proceedings 81
General Conference to-day have possessed
more general interest than OF any previous
day.
After the transaction OF some interesting
business, the slavery report was taken M,
and Slcer and Se~ell of Baltimore, TIoidiek
and Coombs of Philadelphia, and Hunter OF
Va, spoke against il, and Hill and kingaley
In favor of it.
The substitute of DIR. Durbin, offered
some days age was taken from the table and
rejected.
The question before the conference was the
adoption OF the third resolution In the ma
jority report, which introduces new chap
ter on slavery into the discipline in place Of
the old one. Various amendments were Of
fered and rejected. At O'Clock the main
question was called, and the new chapter
adopted 54 10 ST.
The vote on the Anti Slavery Rule was
1876 for and II against--not quite two thirds,
which is required TO secure o change.

Congressional Central Com mite

The Nejetston of rho New Hnie.
The Dew rule before the Methodist General
Conference lacked about ten or twelve of q
two-shirds vote. and was, therefore, not
adopted. IL is possible that the few were in
this instance wiser than the many, regarding
the question simply 10 the light Of expedi-
eney. but We doubt it. The border churches
in the slave States will be forced, consulting
expediency, on to a slaveholdin platform in
Difference to public opinion there or, il they
maintain their integrity, tho preachers will
be denounced as abolitionists, and will event
ually be driven forth by the violence of pro-
slavery mobs.
The action OF the Conference 10 this in.
stance furnishes another instance, in addition
to many heretofore, that n religious as well
rs civil affairs the majority are controlled BY
the minority 10 the interests of the slavehold-
ers.
