Annual Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church reassembled this morning at 0 o'clock
The opening devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Cook Several unim portant
items of business were adjusted. Tie Confer.
ence agreed to include all benevolent contri-
buttons made as special offerings during the
centenary year in its report of centenary
contributions By this action, churches which
have raised money for new parsonages or
churches, or for the payment OF old debts
upon church property, will have full credit for
what they have done. The Rev. l.. G.. Matlack
a minister of the Wesleyan Methodist connec-
tion. was admitted into the Conference as a
minister 1t is understood that the whole body
of which he was a member intends to do as Mr..
Matlack has done. The business of the Con-
ference is progressing slowly. The Stewards
proceeded at 10 o'clock to call for the money
devoted for the Worn-out Preachers" Fund. SO
far as we can judge, the churches are doing
fully as well as last year. The money will be
distributed to needy claimants.
Thefollowing young ministers were continued
on trial in the Conference after being fully
repTesented-Levi B. Hoffman, Il. f. White,
james Asgate, Adam l.. Wilson. George w. +.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Limitation OF the Time In which ArtI-
Cles May be Entered.

>. Z. Derby, United States Agent, has re-
Gently received official information from paris
that on the 10Th of March the regularly ap
pointed officers of the Paris Exposition having
the matter in charge, will proceed to a general
inspection, and will prepare list of exhibitors
whose stalls shall not have been completely
Finished and furnished with products at that
time. Exhibitors who have then failed to
avail themselves of the opportunity afforded
them, will not be permitted to compete for
prizes. This regulation has been made because
all means of access and transportation are now
at the disposal of the exhibitors, and also be-
cause complaint has been made that in pre-
vious exhibitions certain exhibitors have de-
layed sending in their products beyond the
day of opening, either through negligence
or for the purpose Of presenting to the jury
products the most recently unpaclzed, and in
the most advantageous aspect.

DEATH FROM RELIGIoUs EXCITEMENT. "A Corn
wall (England) paper reports the death of
poor woman, aged forty-seven years, the wife
of farm laborer, from religious excitement.
A short time ago she was converted at a re-
vival meeting held in the Wesleyan Chapel.
The excitement produced desponding state
of mind and concern for her soul, which ended
in lunacy. When a physician was called to
see her, he found her in too exhausted a state
to be removed, and after an obstinate refusal
to take food for twenty-one days, she died of
starvation.

A Curious COrrespOndence-A Change Of
Political Opinions.

General o. b. Wilcox, who was nominated
by the President to be a Colonel in the Regu-
lar Army, finding that his confirmation was
opposed by the radical Senators from Michi-
gan, wrote one of them the following letter.
WAsHINGToN, d. c., February %, 1S67.-Hon.
i have the honor to explain that have been
brought up in the military service over twenty
cut OF twenty-fOur years, including my cadet
ship Cor which was indebted to your favor.
Ihat l"st summer, while IN civil life, aud not
expect ng TO re-enter the service, induced by
sulu ler,S feeling OF magnanimity towards con-
quered foes favored couCiliatory measures,
but that time ana observation have taught me
my mistake, and that now military measures
are necessary in the South, until those rebel
lioTs people completely acquiesce in the terms
imposed by Congress for restoration.
My present position is best defined by Major
General George H. Thomas letter recently pub
lished. and in his views most heartily concur.
Very respectfully, your ob't servant
O. b. WILCOX.
He also opened negotiations which procured
the following indorsement:-
WASHINGTON, February %, lS67.--Dear Sir
General o. b. Wilcox has called upon us and
urged us very strongly to recommended his con-
firmation as Colonel in the Regular army. He
has assured us that he is satisfied that he had
made a great mistake in connecting himself
with the party inaugurated at Philadelphia on
the 4th of August last, and that he is satisfied
that Mr. Johnson's reconstruction ;olicy is
the Congressional policy. He also states that
his principal object in resigning his position as
Assessor of the Fi~st District and taking posi-
tiOn in the army was to discontinue his conneC-
tion with the Johnson movement.
He further states that in his professional
character as an officer the army he shall endea-
vor in good faith to carry out the Congressional
policy of reconstruction of the Rebel States.
Relying upon these statements ana the earnest
professions of General Wilcox, we are ofopinion
that his nomination Tor colonelcy, now pend
ing IN the Senate, had better be confirmed.

Important Suits to be Tried.
The famous suits OF Russell, Mayor. and Wad-

as the "Floyd Acceptances Suits" are shortly
to come mp again in the Supreme Court. The
holders of the acceptances are among our most
respectable and prominent ciUizens and corpora
tions, 1t will be recollected that on the original
trial OF the Pierce and Bacon case, it
was stated in evidence that the contractors had
never been able to procure settlement of their
accounts from the War Department and that
they were ready to liqudate all the outstanding
acceptances, and all liabilities, including the
value of the abstracted Indian trust bonds, If
the settlement should be made. The result OF
these new trials will be watched with interest
by the commercial public involving as it does
some millions OF dollars, and the establishment
of some intricate points in law.
Claims for Damages.
The Special Claims Commission of the War
Department, composed OF Generals Candy,
Holt, and Hunter, have done nothing lately in
the way ofadjudicating on the cases on their
docket, as they have been waiting for Official
information as TO the effect of the recent acts
of Congress upon their labors The result is
finally that nearly two hundred claims have
been stricken from the list being barred
by the act ordering no settlement OF any
claims for damages arising from the operations
of armies within the limits of the Rebel States.

the authorities came to make an examination
of his house, they found there upwards of two
hundred Thousand francs in gold.

having a propensity, when excited, to knock
down everybody and everything. This morn

mon, :" and this being refuted in the same spirit
John entered upon n llnock-down argument,
which lasted some time. For this he was
arrested, and Alderman Butler held him to
appear at Court,
