General Conference of the Methodist
Church.

The following is the action of the Confer
ence on the admission of the representatives
from the Southern Conferences named AS q
substitute for all reports, resolutions and
amendments before the Conference, DR.. w. L.
Harris on May II presented series of resolu-
tions which were adopted as thus amended:
Resided, That the following Conferences viz: Ala
bama, Delaware, Georgia, Holston, mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas. Virginia and
North Carolina and Washington, are hereby declared
TO be annual Conferences OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the United States OF America and vested
with all the rights privileges and immunities usual
to Annual Conferences of said Church.
ReSOt1ed, That the provisional delegates to this
body elected by the aforesaid Conferences severaly,
are hereby admitted to membership in his General
Conference on the presentation of the requisite
dentias.
Resolued, That COMMITTEES of Seven be appoint-
ed to which shall be referred the credentials OF
said provisional delegates together with so much OF
the journals OF said Conferences relates 10 their
election and that this mmttee report al the earli-
est practicable moment.
Besotoed. That all the action of the General Con-
ference OF 1864 restricting purporting to restrict
the rights and privileges of Annual Conferences
which the Bishops were authorized by the General
Conference to form within the United States and
Territories be and same is hereby repealed.
The committee of seven reported the next
day, May II, that the credentials were correct
and recommended immediate admission
which report was adopted, 205 to 10.
Complaints from the Methodist Episcopal
and other churches have occasionally been
heard of injustice done them and to the cause
OF religion in appointments made of chap
laincies in the amy and navy of the United
States. The New England and New York
East Conferences took some action calculated
to bring this subject before the General Con.
ference. A committee on chaplaincies was
appointed on May II, consisting of w. r.
Clark, L. Mitchell, j. c. Perkins, C. Larew
and e. ii. Warning.

The MAINE NoRMAL-An educational mag
azine published in Maine should furnish from
month to month the educational news not
only of this State. but, with due regard to
perspective, of the world; and should next pro-
coed to discuss and apply its facts to problems
of Especial and local interest. One of its most
important duties should be sound and careful
criticism of new school books. Its contents
should also be varied by the introduction of
collateral matters-essays ON the beginnings
and the relations of the sciences; biographical
sketches of famous schoolmasters from Orbil-
Jus to DIR. Busby; historical sketches of IA
nous schools and systems of instruction. The
field is broad enough, and we are glad to say
that at last it is occupied by magazine which
excells all its predec essors in this State be-
cause it is sustained by all the old talent ani
reinforced by new. The Maine Normal for
May contains educational news from the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maine, New York, Penn
sylvania, North Car olina, Ohio, Minnesota,
Iowa, Indiana, England and Germany; prac-
teal essays On the mutual influence of sys-
TENS of education, the tactics of the school
room, thoroughness in teaching, the teacher
as gentleman, and corporal punishment;
articles on evaporation, the wonders of geolo-
gy and the early French adventures in Amer
lea; and dozen brief, !judicious notices of new
books. glance at this list shows how COM
pletely the Normal has succeeded in covering
the ground which as we have indicated above
it should strive to occupy. The Normal has
steadily improved during the year and a half
since the publication of the first number and
now ranks among the best works of its class
In the country Among it's regular contribu-
tors are Jacob Abbott, author of the Rollo
books, DIR. N. T. True of Bethel, Hon. e. P.
Weston late Superintendent of Common
Schools, Mr.. A. 2. Stone of the Portland High
School, Mr.. G. p. Stetson of Auburn, former
ly editor of the Portland Advertiser and
others, making up very strong corps. The
editor, Mr.. Gage, is well known as the capa-
BILE principal of the State Normal School at
Pennington, where the magazine is publish
ed. 1t is to be hoped the professors in our
colleges will recognise the solidarity of the
profession sufficiently to devote hereafter
portion of their learned leisure to the support
of magazine which is doing much to dignity
their occupation. Hitherto we do not remem-
her an article in its columns from Bowdoin
Bates or Watervile. The article on evapora-
ton in the current number, as we gather from
an editorial note, is from the pen of Prof Mar
shall Conant, formerly the popular principal
of the State Normal School at Bridgewater
Mass, and is the first of a series of articles on
cognate subjects, exhibiting some of the as
poets of modern philosophy.

FoREwARNED, FoREARMED.-Let the Re-
publicans of Maine take notice of the follow
ing paragraph from the New York letter of
the Charleston Courier:
Great efforts are already being made at this
early day by the Democrats to carry the cleo
tons in the State of Maine in September
They are already at work here in New York
and other leading States furnishing money,
documents, &c, to pull down the Republican,
majority in that State. Al d If they succeed in
making breach there, even without Great
ing thorough revolution, the Democrats are
OF opinion that it will have great effect upon
the ONO and Pennsylvania elections, which
always forestall the result of November
Maine is to-day considered the first battle
field.
If an suspicious result of the Presidential
election is sure to be attained through the
success Of the Republicans in Maine in Sep
tember our friends in other States need give
themselves no further anxiety about the cleo
ton of Grant 1t appears that the Democrats
of New York imagine that citizens of Maine
can be bought up as easily as New York
legislature. 1t is a mistake. The cost will be
tremendous. The Republican majority in this
State, on full vote, is certainly not less than
twenty thousand. The number of votes to be
bought will be at least ten thousand. Now if
the very greatest sagacity is used by the
agents OF Belmont & Co., they must pay on an
average two million dollars each-the same
sum mentioned in the New York World as
the probable price of United States Senators.
Two million multiplied by ten thousand gives
"a sum that would buy Gotham with Belmont
& Co thrown in.
