THE METHODIST MINISTER'S.

This body had interesting though not so exciting
session as the Baptists yesterday. The Rev. J. NJ
Buckley, OF Stamford, kept them together until two
O'Clock, defending the poty and order Of Methodism
from the conoclasts Of tho Church, who trying to
pull down. but making no provision TO reconstruct
Preceding speakers had advocated the enlargement OF
the Episcopacy and the changing of the bishops from
one district province to another by the General
Conference every four years This he opposed vigor
ousy. He would permit the bishops TO do they
now do, except that after any OF their number had
passed the age OF sixty years he should not
be moved about but be limited TO one
district. Some brethren had advocated the reduction
OF the number Of ncumbents, the abolition alto
gether Of the presiding eldershp Others again had
advocated the enlargement of the number of presiding
elders the reduction OF the size OF districts and the
that their support should not be placed on the dis
tricts. Mr. Buckley would not reform the Office In
any respect but he would reform the who fill the
office Instead Of making the Office retreat for
cient brethren, he would put active, earnest in
the position, and keep them 10 strict account for
fidelity therein. Their visits to the churches should
not be formal and hurried, but should be practical
and useful He would allow OF negotiation between
ministers and churches to limited extent but
not TO the extent or man setting morcy value upon
his ministry aud Insisting on that equivalent He de-
Tended the entire pohty Of American Methodsm and
weseyanism that the latter without bishops presid
ing elders is far autocratc than tho former with
both. Ministers In the Wesleyan Church must travel
four years before they marry. Then they must
give year, notice to the Conference that they intend
TO marry and atterward before they receive the per-
sent credentials for piety and standing of the
ladies they intend 10 wed.

AkrHoDIsTs AND BAPTIsrs MARCHING ALONG
NO ONE HURT By DR. JEFFRKY's HEREsIEs-
Mr.. BUCKLEY on MKrHnnIsr poIIrY

MR. BUCKLEY ON METHODIST PoLITY.
Tho Baptist Pastors Conference met yesterday in the
Mariners church, in Oliver street The devotional
ercses we're conducted by the venerable Dr. bowling
Before the minutes approved Dr. Miller, OF
Greenpont wished his resolutions presented Al the
last meeting land published in the HERALD noticed in
the Conference records The clerk demurred and az.
ter some discussion DR. Miller withdrew them on the
ground that II they adopted the action would con-
denim Drs Bright and Samson, and II negatlyed that
action would ndorse their open communion practises
DR.. J. b Thomas, OF Brooklyn, then went into half
hour explanation or his remarks, made last week. for
which Drs Fulton and saries substantially called him
liar. He read from n paper which before
the caucus that was held before the meet
ing Of the Long Island Baptist AssOcia-
ton, in 1874, and which confirmed substantially
what he had previously said said be bad also received
letter from Or. sares in apology and explanation OF
what had taken place, and he thought Dr. sares and
himself were substantially agreed But DR.. sarles
aerward denied the agreement In any such sense as
Or. Thomas had intimated Dr. Fulton wanted q
chance to reply to Dr. Thomas but objection made
by Drs Miller, Samson, Dowling and others that per-
sonal matters should be kept out Of the Conference,
DIR. Fulton however insisted giving his version OF
the and when called to order by the Chair kept
talking until It appeared likely that the meeting would
break up in confusion, because II the right to reply was
given TO the Doctor there several other brethren
who would put in for the Same right 1t be-
ing thon halfpast twelve O'Clock the Chair
insisted on calling the order OF the day The
Conference sustained the call, and DR. jeffrey took
the floor But he put the Conference In worse plight
than II had been in by refusing TO read his papor while
the preamble adopted by the meeting last week stood
their records He was finally prevailed upon TO read
his paper, after motion to adjourn had been voted
down.
HERETcAL ESSAY.
When the document came It was innocent OF any
communion heresy though it looked as II were pre-
limnary merely to the promulgation Of "lbera views
on the communion question II treated OF church
organization in the apostolic times and showed from
the Acts OF the Apostles and from Paus Epstles that
the totaity Of Christian believers in any city consti
tued but church. and of with this view OF
church organization the sacrament not the excu
sive property or right OF any local society, but was the
common privilege of all
Dr. Armitage could not swallow all the heresy and
he Will probably reply future meeting OF the
Conference.
