From the .Nts1 York HoTA, april II
At the eth session Of the New York East
Conferences, yesterday morning, the long OK
disposed Of, after considerable debate
Elder Tease unmarked that the circumstances
Of the CHA Of Erother Cooke werp perfectly
well known TO every one present, and did not
require to be entered into He would only cay
that tho latter hhd handed in his parrhments,
and requested to withdraw from tho Church,
which request 5nz his part he waA willing to
grant, and he moved motion to that effect
Kev. Mr. Ross objected to allowing Mr..
Cooke to escape unccnsured4 He asEel il
enough evidence had not becn published to
make him Iable to Arrest and afzaignment be-
fore tie bar Of tho house.
Elder Pcase replied that there waa ample
evidence to bring the delinquent to trial, but
lie did nut see vLat good end would BE- gained
By such course, The request Of Nj. Cooke
to be allowed to Withdraw wa An admission Of
the truth OF the charges male aEainst him,
ard hence trial was not necessary. What
wrs wanted WAS merely 10 viudiczte the purity
Of The Church. The right Of Judgment BE-
assumed by th0ua.
Dr.. Woodruff, the Secretary, urged tho con-
ference not to discuss this subject any fur
ther. It had been subject Of positive pain
to every member Of the denomination. and
panv h them had to hang their beads in
shame At The thought of the aissrses which
bad teen inflicted upon them. he would hare
preferred that Brother Cooke should hAve ap-
iaeased before the bar Of the conference and
made open confession OF his cr1or, ~ then
Eome hopes might be entertained OF his ulti-
mate regeneration: Is it Was. ho feared that
lie woald never get up again and become true
Enan, and he could only ask Gods merry upon
him.
DR.. Sculler objected 70 the idea that AIr.
Cookies actions had made hun {the speAke1)
feel shame OF disGrace- Nothing Of the kind
should make him hang his head, nor did be
believe that the rntlsc would esteem the
clergy any the less for it. Such things had
occurred since the dayn Of Judas, and are
prevent the possibility of alr. Cookies apply
expressing contrition for the offence, The
whole adA{r had been 20 dramatic that it was
not unlikely il might have such termination,
and he wanted 10 prevent its occurrence by i
little foresight at the preaent time.
Nr. koclo said that they had no power to
snlthauetize and e1commnnicata pefs like
the Catholics, 1ut they had right to censure
and e1pel those Who deserve such punish
mcnt. and ho thought some decided action
should be taken In the present matter.
Several other persons unhed to speak on
no further debate took place, and the follow
ing motion WAS adopted:
That the Secretary be instructed to plAce On
the tonrna1 spccial minute Of the occurrence,
as follow:
"WHERxAs, 1t Is understood that Hossce Cooke
