GENERAL CONFERENCE.
- =. :. -seren,h paY.

xts Es &c S.-SeVenth Day
MENpH1s. MAY IL Nothing important
transpired in the Methodist Conference
to-day. The resolutions affecting the con.
solidation of the Churches North and
South were referred without action or de-
bate.
Memorial from the Church North
Bishop James, Daniel Curry, Levi Scott
and others of the Northern Methodist
Church, submitted q memorial to the
Southern General Conference as follows,
signed by them:
BY the action and authority of the
General Conference at Chicago, May, 1865,
we were appointed a Commission to CO.
operate with like Commission from the
church South on the subject of union.
At a meeting Of the Commission In
Philadelphia, on Nov %, 1869,
resolution was adopted approving the
action contemplating the union of the two
churches, but it is thought proper to make
this further communication. The appoint
ment of this Commission shows that in
the judgment of the Northern church
there isnot sufficient reason why union
may not be effected on honorable terms.
Hoping that you may see the subject In
the same light, and that you may appoint
similar commission to confer with
us previous to the next general
conference in 1872, and praying that you
may be prospered in all that pertains to
the welfare of the Christian Church, and
desiring your prayers in behalf of the
church We represent, that we may share
like prosperity, we are, etc.
Its Fate.
The committee of nine, to which this me-
mortal is referred, consists Of the strongest
men in the Conference. Here it is thought
that the proposition will not be approved.

CONDENSED TELEGRANIS.

The news of the victory Of the yacht
Sa,grho, in the race with her British rival
Cambr:s, created quite a sensation in New
York. OonQratulatory kilograms were sent
per cable to Douglass, owner of the
Sappho.
Gilbert w. Thomas was arrested in New
York Yesterday on the charge Of having
robbed the firm of Dabney, Morgan q Co.,
of 60. coo in bonds on the 18th Of April.
Henry Ward Beecher made a lengthy
,speech to the American Woman's Suffrage
Association in New York yesterday. The
National Womans Suffrage Association,
which was also in session, adopted reso-
Tuition of sympathy with the growing hens
of the other association.
Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton offered a
resolution in the National Woman's Suf-
fraee Association yesterday, which was re-
ceived with unbounded and prolonged APP
b plause. declaring that the late trial and
decision in the Mcfarland case, like that
of Cole and Sickles, is a virtual deGlara-
ton that man may hold property in
woman, and creating a public sentiment
that is in its working perpetual fugitive
slave law for woman, saying, No friendly
hand shall dare, at the risk Of life and rep
utation, feed, shelter or clothe the IN
happy wives of depraved men under any
circumstances whatever.
Over q column of statement from IFS
Mcfarland Richardson concerning her do
nestle troubles, came to hand last nigh
by telegraph, several hours after we hat
noticed it in the Louisville papers. WI
imagine it can be of little interest to tn
public outside of free-love circles.
A severe thunder storm passed owe

struck by lightning, but sustained no grea
damage.
Preparations have commenced in Vienn

SKATING RINK rN NASHVILLE

The New Thcater in n New Dress.
We are to have something new in the
city in the reereative amusement line. The
New Theater, which for season after season
has rung with the rehearsals of Hamlet,
shook with the merriment of burlesque,
comedy and farce, glittered with panto-
mine, dance and ballet, and produced the
scenes of the Black Crook, and crooks
white and crooks red, and through an end
less variety of other crooks and hooks, is
being entirely transmog<ifed. The work
of Reconstruction" was vigorously oom-
meneed Monday, and viii be prosecuted
until completed. The old temple of amuse-
ment is to be converted into large, cape
cious and brilliant skating rink. Mr.. P. s,
Jones, who has for Some time been running
successfully a rink in Edgefeld is fitting II
up for the purpose indicated. A number
of workmen are engaged in the operation,
Messrs Patton & Hughes being the chief
carpenters. The entire dress circle and
parqustte, with the private boxes ard
stage are all being torn out, and the space
made free of obstruction, even with the
floor the length and breadth Of the build-
ing. This will give a smooth net skating
surface Of 100 feet long and so feet wide.
The galleries are to remain, but the posts
supporting them will be taken down, and
the galleries suspended by strong truss
Orders. The interior of the building is to
be handsomely painted and decorated
within and the walls repspered. There
will be first class EefIeshment rooms
below, ladies' reception room
to the right and gentlemen's to the left.
The cost of fitting up the rink viii be
near 1000, and it is contemplated to
have it open by the first of June.
Three afternoons of each week VIII be
devoted exclusively to practieing the art
by ladies' and misses, and three nights in
each week viii be devoted to the skating Of
ladies and gentlemen, on which occasions
the rink will be brilliantly lighted by Gas
jets.
So it will be seen ( that among the
other attractions offered by our goodly city,
we are to have frst-olass skating rink,
where the most healthful, innocent and ex-
hilarating enjoyment for both sexes will
be presented. In another month we may
expect to see lovely ladies and gallant gen.
tlemen illustrating the poetry of motion as
they glide gracefully upon the skates
through the curvatures and evolutions Of
the skating rink.

PARIS, May 1l-Noon.-The troubles
throughout the city last evening were
more serious than was anticipated. The
authorities were forced to make large
display Of the military to restore order.
The barbados in Belleville district were
stubbornly defended. though subsequently,
carried by the soldiers at the point of the
bayonet Several were killed and wounded
on both sides
During the night other engagements &C.
Cured, and number of soldiers, police
men and citizens were killed.
Belleville district was occupied during
the night by the military in great force,
and no persons were permitted to pass.
The police made several charges upon
the crowds of people which had collected
out Of curiosity. In some cases they used
their swords and slung shots, whereby
many were seriously wounded. mainly
those who had nothing to do with the dis
turbance.
The police and rioters used fire arms
freely, but the troops made no general use
of them. Once during the night compa-
ny of cavalry was assailed with stones.
They fred on their assailants. This Is the
only instance known where the troops de-
parted from their determination to use fire
arms only as their last resort.
The working men were out in greater
force than on any previous occasion.
Perfect order was restored before day.
light, and there are no signs of trouble now.
The Government has not relaxed its pre-
cautions to guard against future disorder.
An insignificant Affair.
The French Opposition and clerical or
gans question the result of the election.
They maintain that while the vote may
have numerical value, it is without social,
political, or religious significance.
Arrests--NIght and Chaos Come
again.
The police arrested over 200 persons last
night, and searched many houses in the
disturbed districts. Arrests continue to
be made to-day. Fresh trouble is feared
tonight Crowds of people are in the
Faubourg du Temple, and large number
were in front of the Barracks, but were dis.
persed by the police, and the guards around
the soldiers quarters have been increased.
Restless Jail Birds.

by inmates of prison La Rouguette yester.
day The prisoners while at work in shops
attacked keepers and fierce struggle fol
lowed. The revolt was finally quelled, one
keeper being killed and two other officers
woun ded.

procession of knights TempIar

In accordance with the PUBLISHED pro-
gramme the Knight Templars, in process
sion, passed along the principal streets yes
terday morning. We do not, Ill the least,
exaggerate when we say they were CON-
posed of as fine looking, dignified and cul-
tivated body of gentlemen as we have
ever seen. They were plumed and belted
as gallant Knights should be, their rich re-
gala, elegant costume, banners and SYM
bols of the Order, presenting highly in
teresting and attractive appearance. Pre-
coded by brass band that discoursed de-
lightful music, they passed along the
streets which were lined with spectators
viewing their stately tread and manly and
chivalrous bearing. Their drill evolutions
were especially interesting, and were per-
formed with skill and precision that
wonld have delighted the old Prussian
martinez, Baron Steuben himself. The
procession being over, the Sir Knights re.
turned to the Hall, where, depositing theil
uniforms, regalias, armorial bearings, etc,
they dispersed to be in readiness for the
grand banquet at night.

JEFFERSON DAyIS' CANE To BE
RETURNED TO HIM,

1t will be remembered by many of our
readers that when the Union forces took
possession of jeff Davis plantation,
Kinds county, Mississippi, large amount
of property of various kinds was "contis-
cated' by the soldiers and carried off.
Among other things was the gold headed
cane, made from the timber of Old Iron
sides, and presented to Davis by ex-
President Franklin Pierce, which fell
into the hands of a son of Samuel Lynch,
and by him was brought North. 1t ap-
pears that ]. r. Linn, Esq, of Ottawa,
Putnam county, hearing of the cane, in
terested himself in securing its return,
and yesterday had it in the city aud will
forward it to its owner. We think all
will accept the propriety of such return
of this personal memento, and appreci-
ate Mr.. Lynch's sense of justice in con-
senting thereto. A letter from Mr. Dayi
to Mr.. Linn expresses strong desire to
recover it-all the stronger from the fact
that the giver has since died. = Toledo
