METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE. :

METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE. -
One OF the great ecclesiastical events OF
this mouth ls the General Conference of
the Methodist Church, which meets to-
day in Brooklyn. It is considered re-
markable from the fact that it is the first
assemblage of that kind in the Metho-
dist Church in which the laity have had
q representation. Since the last General
Conference, in 1868, that question has
been submitted to the church and the
conferences, and has been adopted in
the affirmative. The lay delegates are
men of high character and enlarged ex-
perienoe, and will give dignity and
weight to the assemblage. The confer
enos will consist of 42I delegates
ministers and 129 laymen. There are
also five bishops. Both sets of delegates
sit and deliberate together as one house.
but may vote separately whenever one
third OF either set of delegates shall de-
mand it; and in such GASES. the concur
rent vote of both sides of the house
shall be essential to carry any measure.
Among the delegates are two from Libe-
ria and one from India. There are a
number from the Southern States; from
Mississippi 4, Louisiana 2, Georgia 4,
North Carolina 3. South Carolina 4, and
Alabama q. The appearance of these
Southern delegates is looked upon at the
North ns the augury of the final settle
ment OF the differences between Metho-
dists North and South, though that can
not be unless these. delegates are from
bona Jftle Southern Methodist Churches,
and not, as we take them to be-. from
ohurohrs OF the Northern Methodist
Church established in the South.
