Proceedings Of General Conference

BALTIMORE, MD, May Bishop
Haven presided to. day ut the Methodist
Episcopal Conference. The report of
the Committee on Bishops Pastoral Ad-
dress was received. 1t approves the ad-
dress, and recommends It be read in the
churches, Sunday, July2 Tuesday next
WAS appointed for holding memorial ser.
vices Tor deceased members.
q. o. Fisher, Of Georgia, presented a
memorial signed by large number
of cololed ministers, setting forth
the fact there were in the NJ +.
Church 10000 members of the African
descent, and asking for the election OF
Bishop. The memorial was referred
to the Committee on Episccpacy.
&C. Hartzell of Louisiana, submitted
the memorial against separating the
annual Conferences on the color line,
which was signed by about 400 persons
in Louisiana, was referred TO the Com
mite on the State of the Church.
The following is the text of the mem.
oral presented by Mr.. Hartzell:
WHEREAS, Some conferences and
brethren are advocating the organization
of white conferences and colored confer
ences, the recognition thereby of the
distinction of color and with it the caste
and predjudices in the kingdom of God /;
and
WHEREAS, We have hitherto since the
advent of freedom to the colored race
worked together as brethren in bonds
of Christian fellowship and in happy
self-saeriicing toll for the master; and
WHEREAS. Our labor in this spirit of
union have been acknowledged and
blessed by the Lord till We have grown
from u small plant into vigorous and
fruitful vine and the present happy
order is left undisturbed. We may hope
for vet greater blessings and prosperity;
and
WHEREAS, We see no good reasons tor
the proposed separation, and we do not
think any of our colored membership
desire such separation; therefore VIC wish
it understood that the proposed separa-
ton of the races IN the Conference reia-
ton is, in our judgment, unwise, and
we humbly pray your honorable body
not to approve or adopt, or in any way
recognize such separate conferences OH
the line of color; but, on the other hand,
to strengthen the bonds that Row hold
together the children of God and laborers
in this vineyard

Editors OF the Register:

EuitOrB OF the Register: y
l observe printed in your paper of
yesterday, an article presenting the above
named gentleman for the Democratic
nomination TO Congress. Ali well
enough; but why are such radical pa
pers as the Richie Gazette and Wheeling
Standard also urging the Democrats to
him? Do they regard him as
the easiest candidate for them to defeat?
for they can hardly expect to "use"
him if he is elected. DEMOCRAT.

Tho Advisory Council In tho Plymouth
Church matter las concluded its sessions, aud
has arrived at the result which was expected
Of 1t when it was summoned. It has GUS
taincd tho discipline Of that church in each
particular upon which its advico was asked,
and, this being tho caso, of course Plymouth
Church will nccept it's advice with tho sa1ne
alacrity that it would havo displayed in re-
jecting it had tho advico been unfayorable.
Tho Council, however, won't beyond tho
business Immediately before It by advising
Plymouth Church to accept flnal inyesGga-
ton to be conducted by Scandal Bureau
composed Of five porsons to DO eolocted by o
committee Of three. Inasmuoh, however, rs
these five persons, when thoy arc selected,
may conduct an Investigation or not at thoir
own option, and inasmuch as Plymouth
Church has alruady mode its investigation,
we do no*.look for any important results to
flow from thin now movement Should the
Committee decide, however,, to mike such an
investigation, aud should plymouth Church
decide to accept Its findings, thoso findings
would have no weight with tho public unless
it was convinced that tho Committee was un-
proiudiced.

Tho passage Of tho bill in tile Senate au-
tl,orizing tho Secretary Of tho Treasnry to is-
sue $500, 100000 of ~ per cent bonds, md
sell them at par for the redemption Of m
equal emount Of Cpor cont $50 bonds, is q
wise movement, and It will probably DO pro-
ductive Of the results desired to DO attained,
If the House will concur in it. Tho torn of
thcso bonds is fixed OF thirty years, and tho
Government has boen assured that n per
cent bonds can bo sold at par il the Govern
mont will make them run for that length Of
time. Il tho project succeeds, there will ba
an additional saving Of $7,500,oo in tho an
nual interest, md the credit of the Govern
nlent will bo improved proportionatoly. The
Democratic majority Of tho House, proseud-
ing to bo interested in tho reduction Of ex-
pcnses md tho improvement of the national
credit, cannot reasonably nor consistently re-
fuse its assent 10 this measure.

II was peculiarly encouraging to find
Mos1B. CuLLERToS mud H1LDngru on tho
side Of reduction. It ia protty certain in
dlcation that tho forco Of public opinion hns
asserted itself oven mora than usual. Tho
only danger to be apprehondod is that tho
general Rentimont in favor of reduction was
owing to the fact that tho appropriations IN.
der consideration wero for educational pur-
posea, and uat whom it comos to providing
for tho salaries Of those who are moro partic,-
larly tho political dependents On the city, and
included in tho general patronage Of tho Al
dcrmen, q good many who were eagor for TO-
tronohmont yesterday may not be so devoted
to tho public interest as to the interest Of
their frionls. Indeed, Aid. OAsn reminded
tho gentlemen that they began with tho ap-
propria.ions for 1876, but that, before tho
budget was entirely made up, they hnd aban-
doned tho principle Of retronchmout alto-
geshor. It is not safo, therefore, to conclude
TINT tho Same ratio Of reduction will bo main
tainod whom the Council comes to tho Police
and Fire Departments, the Board of Public
Works, and other branches which control
contracts and pay tho salaries Of the political
rotainera. Still, It is to DO hoped they may
be induced to do 80.

The prospect OF any agrpemont among tho

Financo Committee will report compromise

Democratic caucus will psobably reject it.
There is little doubt, however, that the caucus
will favor the ropeal OF tho Resumption act,
but will substitute nothing for 1t, and will

ENGLIaH LAND MONOPOLY.

Exactly 79l years ago, by tho order Of tho
Norman, WILLIAM tho Conqueror, conaus
was taken OF tho landowners OF tho Kingdom
md tho quantity Of land hold by each, tho
results Of which arc recorded in the famous
Domcsdny Book, which is 30 sacredly guard
ed in the English State Paper Office. Since
that ume, however, no lanl Census haa boon
taken until tho present time. In TINT census
taken In 1896, tho whole number Of land
ownczs was found To bo 6t,s13. Tho popu-
lation Of tho antiro island at tho time was
probably about 100000 Of souls. After tho
lapso Of nearly eight centuries, Parliament.
in 1879, ordered second enumeration of
landowners to be made, which has Just been
completed, and has beon printed in two quar-
to volumes with 1900 pages Of closely print
cd tabulated matter. This second Domesday
Book ,7as compiled owing to the persistent
agitation Of such Liberal reformcrs as JouN
Da1onT, Mr. CopDEa. 51r. MILL, and others.
These land rcformcra, basing their estimates
upon tho returns OF tho oonaus Of 1861, charged
that tho sol of England and Wales really
belonged to only 80, ,U00 persons; and upon
this basis made such furious onslaught upon
tho evila of land monopoly that tho Govern
ment, in itH own defense, was compelled to
institute laud cenaus. The returns Of this
census hnvo now been given In tho London
TINES, and thoy bring out somo faets Of ex-
traordinary interest al touching upon this
tenure Of land which chow that, whilo Mr.
Bn1our moy toohnically orr in assuming that
10000 persons own tho soil Of England, he Is
