METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.

Ninth Day-Wednesday.

The Conference met at 8 A. NJ, Bishop
Andrews in the chair; Rev. W. H. Hunter,
of Central Illinois, conducted devotional
exercises.
resolution was adopted deploring the
absence of many member from their seats
during the opening religious services of
the daily sessions. A greeting was pre-
sented from the General Conference of the
African Nj. E. Church, with an expression
of hope that "soon all will be one in the
Church." A resolution was adopted leav-
ing the subject of the consolidation of two
or more conferences or the division of con-
ferences during the next quadrennial in
the hands of the Committee on Boundaries,
provided it shall not affect the color line.
Fraternal delegates from the Methodist,
Methodist Protestant, and Methodist Epis-
copal Church South were presented. The
committee appointed to investigate the
omissions in the journal of the General
Conference of 1872, reported that they did
not find any omission in the journal, but
there was one in the appendix-that of the
tabular statement of the New York Book
Concern. The report of the Book Concern
was copied from the Christian Ad5ocute,
and the secretaries were not to blame in
the matter. A report from the Special
Committee on transfer of Indian Bureau
to the War Department, opposing such
transfer, was adopted.

BARNUM.

Our neighbor-Ihe Cecil Democrat-in
last weeks issue very truly said:
set is now stated that Congressman VIM
Fl. Barnum is likely to be elected L. s.
Senator from Connecticut. We hope not.
If MIR. Barnum has any other claims to
political preferment than plethorc purse,
free use of it in securing votes, and a
reckless disregard of official duty, we should
like to be informed of it. In his several
terms in Congress, he has been conspicuous
only for his absence, and in close contest
would require the best exertions of skill
full whip to keep him at his post The
Democracy of Connecticut cannot afford to
keep such men as Barnum in high places.
And yet the Democrats of Connecticut
on Nednesday last, elected this same Bar
mum, United States Senator. Isn't this a
fair fors ia lowing Of the class Of reform
We may expect in the event of the success
Of that party in the coming caiuplisp.

THE Richmond Wing says: GA prom-
nent member of the Virginia Legislature,
who was at the conference (if the term may
be allowed in Washington, had CONVEX
sation with reporter of this paper on
Saturday. He represented to the latter
that he and other members went to Wash
ington to ascertain the political situation
with reference to the Presidency. They
were to have gone during the session of the
Legislature, but the pressure of public
business prevented. On the part of the
members it was postponed visit. In
Washington they met with other Virgin
ians. After conversing with number of
influential Democratic Congressman, they
came to the conclusion that they knew
quite as much as was known in Washing
ton-nothing. They went to get informa-
tion. There was none to get. Except a
few partisans, nobody seemed to have a
slate. The best opinion was that the Dem
ocrats would be completely at sea until
after the Cincinnati Convention. As for
Hancock, no less important parsonage
than Sam Randall declared that he was
not seriously thought of. The members
of the Legislature said substantially that
they tried hard to find out all about the
Presidential succession, and they failed
because really there was nothing to learn. :"

is, to make The Wig acceptable to all
classes Of readers, and while increasing the
space necessarily required for so full a
report, it shall not be at the expense of
any other department of our paper.

Mr.. BRIsTow has written letter to a
friendly inquirer in Madison, Indiana, in
which he says: 81 cannot undertake to

your kind communication, to state this
much. l have been so Indignantly pur-
sued that l am not surprised to find every
professional transaction of my life paraded
before the public and the facts distorted in
such way as to appear discredtable; but
am too much occupied with official duties
to give my time to the contradiction or

others who have taken offense at my efforts

Now that the new Board of Town Com
missioners have formally organized, and
taken charge of our municipal affairs, we
trust that one of their first official acts will
be in the direction of providing new
house for our fire apparatus. That this is a
much-needed improvement, no one will
deny. and we also believe that if our Town
Fathers have the will, the way will be
opened up by which this long talked of
building may be secured. The public SEN
timent is almost undoubtedly in favor of
the ENTERPRISE

Mr.. TILDEN's friends are industriously
at work in his interest, Notwithstanding
former discouragements. AS New York
daily says of him:
"No fish comes amiss into his net. His
readiness to make contracts with notori-
ously corrupt and scheming politicians
could not be disputed after the display at
Utica. Sufficient TRANSFERRED there to con-
firm the unfavorable estimate of his politi-
cal character, which had arisen out of his
general course at Albany. 1t is now appar-
ent that the agents, who for some time past
have been at work in his behalf in the
Southern States, have been instructed not
to allow qualms of conscience to interfere
with the enlistment of recruits The chief
object of these hirelings has, of course,
been to secure the selection as delegates to
st. Louis of persons who might be relied
upon to vote for their employer all the
time"
And yet his path South is one not all
strewn with political roses, since the Au-
gusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel reiter-
ates its opinion that Tilden is the weakest
man in the South that could be put in the
field.

SPEAKING of the Democrats, ex-senator
Brownlow says: "Lacking virtue them
selves, they hope to attain power by pull
ing others down. But even should they
prove some Republicans unworthy, it will
not prove that Democrats, covered all over
with corruption, are worthy to step into
the places they once held, abused and trea-
sonably abandoned"

At 8 o'clock, precisely, on Wednesday
morning last, the Exhibition grounds were
thrown open, and continuous stream of
visitors at once set in. The weather was
clear, and light breeze was blowing

muddy, were in u condition much prefer.

most impressive appearance.

| by playing the National airs of all countries,
the music being rendered by an orchestra
composed of one hundred and fifty pieces.
At twenty minutes after ten, the Emperor
and Empress of Brazil appeared, entering

an avenue, which was cleared for them,
through the assemblage to the platform.

Minister to the United States, and lady,
headed the suite.
The President arrived at half-past 10
O'Clock, ana Immediately the Centennial
Inauguration march was performed. The
Right Rev. Bishop Simpson offered prayer.
The prayer was quite lengthy and impress
i've, and during its delivery, all heads were
bowed. This was followed by the Centen-
NAL hymn, written by John &. Whittier,
after which the buildings were presented
to the United States Centennial Commits
sion by John Welsh, President of the Cen
tennial Board of Finance. At the conclu-
sion Of Mr.. Welsh's remarks, the cantata,
entitled "The Centennial Meditation of
Columbia" was performed by a chorus
of nine hundred voices, and Theodore
