1 BALTIMORE, May 2.-Aiter the usual
religious exercises at the opening to-day
OF the Methodist General Conference q
resolution thanking the Centennial Com.
missioners for closing the buildings and
grounds on the Christian Sabbath, and
for prohibiting the sale Of liquor, were
referred To the committee to be hereafter
appointed.
X resolution was offered that section
5l5 OF the Discipline be amended so Us
to read, that the General Conference
shall appoint a Committee on boundaries,
consisting Of one member from each An
nual Conference, to be nominated by the
delegations respectively, over which
n Bishop shall preside, and Of which one
Of the society and OF the General Confer
ence shall be Secretary; and OF which
twenty-five shall be quorum; all mat
tcrs pertaining TO the conference lines
shall be referred to this committee, and
its decision shall be final, was intro
dnced which led to protracted debate,
and finally was adopted.
Rev. H. Price, Of Iowa, submitted a
preamble reciting that the benevolent
corporations Of the Methodist and other
churches were compelled to pay upon
their ANIMALS six times as much postage
as other publishers are required to pay
on similar printed matter Of no more
public benefit; therefore,
Resolred, That we respectfully but
earnestly protest against the passage BY
the House Of Representatives Of the bill
recently passed by the Senate with this
unjust provision included, and We do
hereby respectfully memorabilia Congress
TO so modify the postal law that the an
nuals published by our benevolent cor
porations may pass through the mails at
the same rate OF postage that other pub
fishers are required TO pay on monthly
and quarterly magazines.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously and copy ordered to be for
warded 10 the Clerk Of the House OF
Representatives. Z
A motion was submitted providing for
the appointment Of standing committee
OF twelve TO be named the Committee on
Judicial Proceedings, and to consist Of
one from each General Conference re-
spectiyely; to which committee all ques-
tions OF law and the record Of the Judi
cial Conference shall be referred. go
The proposition led to n lengthy dis.
cussion in which number Of delegates
took part. r flr
Bishop Simpson said the Bishops would
be gladly relieved Of the responsibility Of
deciding the legal question.
A substitute to refer the record Of the
Judicial Conferences to the Committee on
Episcopacy was lost and the motion to
appoint Judicial Committee, adopted.

We sympathire with our Market street
neighbor in its discovery OF the TACT that
the Hon. Henry G. Davis voted against
reducing the Presidents salary back to
the old sum Of $4,000 per annum. This
discovery makes it unpleasant Of course
for our ncighbor to denounce the Radi'
cal. for increasing the salary four years
ago. The multitude will fail to appreci'
ate the editorial indignation that con
fines itself to denounCing the increase rs
great wrong, and entirely overlooks
the failure to repair the wrong when an
opportunity was offered. Our other Sen.

GorSG TO THE CENTENNIAL,-Things
do not look just as inviting as they might
at Philadelphia. The "Item" Of that city,
in its issue OF Saturday last, reflects quite
consciously on the management OF the
Centennial preparations, especially upon
the lack OF enterprise exhibited by Gen.
Hawley, President Of the Commission,
and Director Gen. Goshoru. The lem
saws that "the buildings are not ready,
everything is in confusion, and it would
be a miracle to arrange things in time. 1t
cannot be done. II thiugs are in order
by the end Of May we shall be surprised
The New York Bulletin says: r
From present indications, We sincerely
regret to say, it looks as II the Centennial
Exhibition Ia not in such state ottor.-
wardness as to render 1t advisable to nd
here 10 the 10th instant as the time for
the formal inauguration. This is less un'
fortunate procably than would be an IN
auguration where there was little or
nothing to inaugurate but awilderness OF
empty space. We hear grave complaints
as to The lack Of energy on the part OF
the Commissioners in pushing the work,
and still grayer complaints as to the want
ofsystem in the reception and assignment
Of contributors goods; and II these are
well.iounded, the feeling Of dissatisfaction
which Is now beginning 10 find iorcible ex-
pressiou in print becomes ineligible
enough.
Speaking of the expense Of attending
the Centennial, the Cincinnati Gd'et'e, Of
yesterday, makes the following observa-
ton:
"The railroad fare to the Centennial
will be the smallest part OF the expense,
and it would probably be better for the
country at large to increase rather than
reduce it. II would be proper to make a
wide discrimination in favor OF skilled
mechanics, who would visit the display
with an eye 10 business; but for the great
mass who will go to Philadelphia TO be
packed like sardines in a box, and TO DO
charged two prices for great amount Of
discomfort, the railroad fare is not likely
to be oppressive.

TIE Southern Methodists are in furry
over dancing church members. Their
discipline makes this practice an oflense
grave enough for exclusion but in many
places to exclude all the pious dancers
would be equivalent to shutting up the
meeting house altogether. What they
should do, therefore, is grave question
under the circumstances. One minister
writes about it as a plague, and declares
that he will do his utmost to destroy and
