METHODISM.

The Mortality Among the Bislops-An Extra
Session of the General Conference Neces-
snry. I
The Methodist Episcopal Church has of late
suffered in a remarkable manner from the death
or retirement of its leading men. ...
At the close of last year there were nine
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church
(North), yiz.:-Thomas A. Morris, Edmund s.
James, Levi Scott, Mathew Simpson, Osmon G.
Baker, Edward r. Ames, Davis w. Clark,
Edward Thomson, and Calvin Kingsley. The
last two have recently died. Bishop Morris is
unable to attend to any duties, and Is gradually
sinking into the grave. Bishop james is very
feeble, and scarcely able to attend to his duties
Bishop Scott, through increasing infrnities, is
able to do but little official work. Bishop Clark
has recently had apoplectic attacks, leaving the
work largely to Bishops james, Simpson, and
Ames. The death of Bishop Kingsley, and the
failing health of others, renders 1t probable that
an extra session of the General Conference will
soon be called which, If done, will be the first
time in the history of the NJ. E. Church that
such meeting has been held.
The Discipline provides for this emergency in
Part ii, chap. /, sec. /, and is as follows:--
The General Conference shall meet on the first
day OF May in the year Of our Lord 1872 In the city
OF New York, and thenceforward on the first day Of
May, in four years perpetually, in such place
or places as shall be fixed on by the General Confer
ence fr0m time TO time, but the General Superin-
tendents, or majority of them, by or with the ad-
vice OF othirds Of all the Annual Conferences, or
of all the Annual Conferences shall have power to
call an extra session of the General Conference at
any time, to be constituted in the usual way.
There are about seventy Annual Conferences
in the Church, and it will require two-thirds of
them to call the extra session.

1.-THE week opened on fair activity in Wall street,
but the day progressed The storm checked opera
tions, while a disposition was manifested TO wait
further developments in and test the extent and
sincerity OF the movement in gold.
'"The impression Is quite general that tne move
ment was auxiliary and subsidiary 10 a movement
which they have patiently carried ever since New
Years. When, a month back, it became evident
that some stratagem necessary to enable this
transfer, attention was directed to the fact that
one OF the leading banking houses making ex-
change q specially were quietly absorbing what
ever commercial bills were thrown on the market
In the expectation OF produce. At the time 1t was
supposed that the firm were simply protecting them
selves and traDsactng an ordinary and legitimate
business. 1t seems now, however, that they were
then in league with some OF the clques desirous OF
unloading stocks, and that they lent material and
valuable assstance--the result being the movement
which was discovered on Friday last and which TO-
day put gold up to 11416 The combination have
purchased an immense quantity OF the precious
metal, and the advance has been but trinlng
In contrast to the magnitude OF their operations
The clearances to-day were close on TO hundred
millions 1t is TO be doubted whether the gold move
ment can succeed in the face OF the many obstacles
which 1t Is sure TO encounter commercial and poiti
caly. There is vast quantity of produce in store
at our Atlantic ports and in the Western elevators

for certain fact that the present administration at
Wa hngton will act in hostility to any combination
who may conspire to mpeach the public credit.

the political stage again. Something OF these reasons
seemed to influence heavy sales towards tue close
OF the day, under which the price declined TO 1l3A

"The higher range of the gold market induced

FROM WASHINGTON.
Increase of the Naval Force.


Special Despatch 10 The EUenfng Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, April 12.--As the number of
men at present allowed by act of Congress in the
navy, $500, is small as not tomeet the require
ments or interests of the naval service, Secretary
Robson, in addition to his annual report, has
addressed lengthy communication to Congress
setting forth the requirements of the service and
the importance of more men, and earnestly
requests that the act of June II, 1868, may be
so amended as to authorize fifteen hundred more
seamen, ordinary seamen, machinists, fremen,
coal beavers, and boys The shipment of boys,
which is very essential, has now TO be dispensed
with, thus cutting off future supply of active
and trained seamen for the navy. .t.
Naval Items. s
Dispatches have been received at the Navy
Department from Havana stating that the Prus-
sian school-ship Niobe, with classes Of midship-
men, is shortly expected at that port, and will,
after brief stay, proceed thence to Annapolis,
to allow the middies chance of seeing our
American candidates for naval honors.
The President nominated to the Senate to-day
Paymaster John II. Stevenson to be advanced
fifteen numbers in his grade for extraordinary
heroism during the late Rebellion; also, John c.
Wise to be an Assistant Surgeon in the navy.

THE AMENDMENT IN BROOKLYN.
The Academy Crowded-Speeches by Sena-
tor ReveIs,,HenrY Ward Beecher, and Others
-Cane Presented to the COIored senator.

The Academy in Brooklyn was crowded last
evening. The band of the 23d Regiment occu-
pied the orchestra. The rear of the stage was
occupied by colored youths. Among the gentle
were Senator III. r. Revels, the Rev. Il. Ward
Beecher, the Rev. H. II. Garnett the Rev. G. B.
Ray, Bishop Campbell, and q. Dorsey, Esq.
The Rev. Hyland Garnett having been intro
duced, said that he had been handed q gold
headed ebony cane by Miss Thompson, of Balt-
more and the two Misses Milford, of New York,
to place in the hands of Senator Revels. This
he begged to do and he forthwith gave it to the
Senator, saying:-I believe the head is gold and
the other part ebony; they look very well
together, but to tell you the truth, the ebony
has become pure gold in these days. The fiji
teenth amendment is q great thing; it places a
colored man on an equality with the Irishman
and the Dutchman.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said:-
My friends we are assembled here to hold a
jubilee over a great victory which has been won
after many and serious difficulties. 1t has been the
business OF my life to fight for liberty in my country
1t was said that the colOred man had no manhood,
that he was lazy, and that he was taken from the
plant alton would become nuisance In the country.
But how nobly have you answered those taunts In
the hour Of your trial! There are no classes more
education. Ny friends, tender you the most
cordial greeting, and hope that this great example
may be followed IN all countries Of the globe
Mr.. Beecher then turned to Senator Revels,
and sald:-

Senator Revels spoke briefly, reading from

race.

An Insane Woman Burns her Child to Death.
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from Newcastle, Ind, April Z, says
Our town was this morning the scene of
most heart-rendng homicide. The wife of Mr.
William Redding has been insane for some two
years, with occasional lucid intervals. She has
at numerous times attempted to take her own
life, well-ngh succeeding once by hanging and
once by cutting her throat; but never until this
morning has she made any serious attempt to
take the life of any one else, although her hus-
band had lived in continual fear for the safety
of his three children. Seldom has he ventured
to leave them for any time in her care. She
has seemed rational enough now for some
time; has been attending to the duties of her
house, and it was hoped she was in fair way
to entirely recover. This morAing about z
o'clock, while her husband was working Just
outside the house, at the yard fence, she was
dressing the children. The baby, nine months
old, was in her lap. She spoke to the eldest
boy (some ten years old) and asked him, 'What
if / should burn the baby 2" The boy answered
that he would go and tell pa If she did, and Inn
mediately started out to where his father was.

Railroad Dead Beat.
Mr.. Church, of the Army and Macy Journal
writes to the N. Y. Tribune as follows
AS am cognizant of the circumstances, will
you permit me to contradict the story published
in some of the papers, to the effect that Presi-
dent Grant and his party declined to pay their
fare over the Hudson River Railroad until the
conductor threatened to detach their car?
The story is maliciously untrue as told. The
fare was paid at once, and without remon-
STRANGE, as soon as it was ascertained that the
conductor had authority to collect it.. A doubt
about this arose from the fact that the President
and his party travelled as far as New York in q
special car, courteously placed at their disposal,
to attend the funeral of General Thomas, by the
agent of the railroads between here and Wash
ington. 1t was understood that this arrange
ment extended to Troy and the conductor was
simply refened to the agent of the road for in
formation. AS soon as they were informed that
he had no instructions from the company, the
Presidents party paid their fare, and there was
no such scene as described.
