Mem Jersey nj, E: Conference.

FIFTH DAY.-The Conference was called to
order at 81 o'clock by Bishop Scott, and the de-
yotonal exercises were conducted by the Rev.
S. E. Post, in reading the Scriptures, singing,
and prayer.
Minutes of last meeting were read and ap-
proved, after one or two amenements.
The history of the educational progress con-
nected with the Conference, was then taken
up:-
Mr.. Lewis by resolution, was requested to pre-
pare paper containing history. of the Educa-
ton and Centenary Funds, in their origin and
investments, as also an account of the claims
Tor annuity heldby Dickinson College against
the New Jersey Conference, to be presented at
its next session." He proposed in the first
place to furnish history OF the Educational
Fund, in its origin and investments, with an
account of the claims for an annuity held by
the Dickinson College against the New Jersey
Conference.
At the session of the Philadelphia Conference
for 1888, measures were adopted in unison with
the Baltimore Conference to accept proposals
made by trustees of Dickinson College, at Car
Isle, Pa. which proposals were TO transfer the
college buildings, grounds, and all the appli-
ances of the institution to forty trustees OF che
College appointed for and in behalf OF the M. r.
Church. During that year this transfer was
effected, and there was q mutual agreement en-
tered into, that the two conferences should be
equal in conducting and sustaining the College,
MS we'll as in the advantages and responsibilities
involved. This being done, an agent was ap,
pointed to travel through the Conference and
collect funds for the permanent endowment OF
the institution.
AT the Conference of 1884 the agent reported
subscriptions and collections amounting TO
S5970'30, of which $l93'63 was cash. Following
this a subscription was opened in the Conference
room, when the preachers swelled the amount
TO Sl8,600, At this same Conference Board OF
seven Trustees was elected, to be entitled 'Trus-
tees of Education Fund of the Phlla 1elphIa
Annual Conference of the NJ. p. Church." to
take charge of all collections, subscriptions
bonds, etc., relating to education. These Trus-
tcees we.e subsequently, incorporated under the
laws of the State OF Pennsylvania, and organized
accordingly.
At the session of the Philadelphia Conference
for 1886 the General Conference was petitioned
for division OF that body, and 1t was divided
according to the form and manner laid down in

present an approximate estimate Of the devast'

It would pay the planters Of the South to i'm.
port 4, coo, 900 of free negro laborers-it would
pay them well; although We do not recommend
them to do SO; but to e1patriate them would
be ruin, ruin, ruin, inevitable, irevocable and
universal.
II the leaders of the South would now display
the same energy and sagacity in peace that they
exhibited in war, the NEGRO element" would
speedily cease to trouble their calculations OF
profit or their dreams Of power. Let them &C.
cept accomplished facts, fully and with cheer
full alacrity; let them bow to the fiat Of the age
and declare all men equal before the law and at
the ballot box; and then let them re-
member that there is no fnality In human
events-that other facts can be speedily
accomplished as well as those of to-day.
BY rising up to the moral summit Of the era'
they could soon draw millions of working men
to their Territories; white men, il they pleased
intelligent, industrious and skillful; and thus,
without infringing on q single right oft black
race, they could reduce its relative strength SO
low that it would cease to DO an element OF
strife to any one. This they could do, and
thereby become rulers of richer States, OF
more numerous and nobler people than the
South has ever yet known. Their present
Quixotic contest over the negro will be quoted
by historians as one proof Of their comparatively
barbarous civilization.
But if they refuse to listen to the spirit Of the
age let them not dream that they can succeed
in inducing large emigration to their States.
The voice of the negro's friend will be heard
above their ill-will and be potential against
them. They must choose between Justice aud
Poverty. They have come to the Parting OF

To ne Ediiey Of The ". y. Tribune.

To n. Editor Of The " Y. Tribune
SIR: observed in your paper OF the 25th
that G. " Fox, Assistant Secretary Of the Navy had
resigned; his resignation to take effect on the let OF
March In losing the services OF valuable an officer
as Mr. Fox has been during the Rebellion 1t Is only
lust to nude to bis public services second to none In
my Judgment during the stormy period we have passed
through.
January 1861 Mr.. Fox at the head Of large es-
Establishment in Lawrence Mass. Seeing that the Rebels
were beleagueripg Fort Sumter lie hurried to New
York In the hope Of getting steamer to relieve the
garrison He arrived here the day before the Star OF
the West sailed, when the commander had been Sc
lected He waited In the city until the steamer re-
turned unsuccessful from Its mission and then went to
gton with plan to relieve the fort, but the
traitors in power would not carry It out. Mr.. Fox
again went to Washington early In March, and with
others did all he could 10 prevent Fort Sumter from
being surrendered without fight, which Mr.. Lincoln
was urged TO do by some Of those around him. Mr.;
Fox was desirous Of relieving Fort Sumter and urged
Il upon the attention Of the Cabinet often but II was
only on the last Of March that IL agreed TO attempt
the relief. Mr. Fox thought IL was then too late but at
the urgent solicitation Of Mr. Lincoln attempted IT,
The causes Of its nonsuccess have been already pub
II is within the knowledge Of the writer Of this arti
Gle how much Mr.. Lincoln relied upon Dir. Fox during
the DARK Gays OF tne heoehohi PaIncuny Al a.. ~
seven days retreat, when kilograms cane from tne
army that ali was over Mr. FOx's cool selfreliance,
knowledge and ju6gm n always did much to con-
firm and aid Mr. Lincoln in all matters Of positive &C.
ton when many falteret.
OF his share In the administration Of that much
abused and successful department Of the Government
the Navy Department, much can be said. What II was
when Mr.. Fox was sppointed Assistants secretary we
all know; what IL was made In few months anos'
looks like fable; and when the last blow OF the navy
was struck at Fort Fisher how quick the great Great
vanished and the country was relieved OF the expense
In partiug with Mr. Fox Mr. Wsles loses the SER
vices Of an experienced naval ocar an impartial fear
less man, firm friend and one whom the bonds Of com
mon abuse have tied together. o. "B'
