I'VE, the Joint committee OF conference
of the Methodist Protestant and Methodist
Churches, would most respectfully submit
the following as the result Of our" delibera-
tons: ...
Resolved, That the basis OF union agreed
upon by the joint commission Of the Meth
odist Protestant and Methodist Churches ut
Pittsburgh be adopted, and that we inter-
pref that basis OF union on the condition OF
receiving members into the Church on SUBJ
stantialv the same basis rs that in the new
edition Of the Methodist Book of Discipline;
the third item, relative to children, having
been inadvertently omitted in The publish
ed basis OF union.
Resolved, That the matter OF suffrage and
eligibility to office be left to the annual cor
fcrenceS respectively, provided that each
annual conference shall be entitled to repre-
scntation in the same ratio in the General
Conference, and provided that no rules
shall be passed which shall infringe the
right OF suffrage or eligibility to office.

yention of the Methodist Protestant and
Methodist Churches. now in session, the
immediate organic union OF the two bodies
in the bans OF union set forth in this report.
ALI Of which is respectfully submitted.

A. Harper, J. w. Lowden, and S. N.
Lowdcn disscnted from the majority upon
the third item, relative to suffrage, which
states that every male over eighteen years OF
age may vote, and desired that each Annual
Conference might extend the right OF sut-
frage to the female members, as they may
elect. Rev. w. Fl. Wells submitted the fol-
lowing with the report: ..'
| The undersigned, q member OF the joint
committee, while conscnting to the forego-
ing reports, invites the attention OF the
Methodist as well as Of the Methodist Pro-
testant Convention, in case OF union, to 4
difficulty which we fear will be imposed
upon us by the North Carolina Conference
relative to districting conferences, and begs
from both Conventions 4 remedy, and he
would reserve the right for himself, for his
representation, and for the North Carolina
Annual Conference district, to take such
position, either in Joint convention OF in
the future, as the eNigencics OF the case
may require.
After lengthy debate, principally on the
second resolution, the report was adopted,
and the Convention adjourned until to-
morrow. ..'
At the afternoon session OF the Methodist
Protestant Convention the conference COM
mittee made their report, and it was de-
bated until $50 O'Clock, when the Conven-
ton, without taking action upon it, adj
| iourned until tomorrow morning.

a vote Of the citizens OF Goodson was
taken Saturday the 18th instant on the pro-
position to subscribe $1,000 by the corpora-
ton OF Goodson in behalf of the narrow
gauge railroad to Cumberland Gap, for
which charter was obtained at the last ses-
sion OF the General Assembly Of Virginia. l
am glad to inform you that fine subscription
was carried by unanimous vote. You will
remember that the bill provided that large
amount OF convict labor would be furnish

days issue that there may be some difficulty
IN regard TO that matter, as there was ppoba-
bly, no provision made by which the
State would be bound to pay the
expense OF transportation and furnishing

cerely trust that some satisfactory arrange

any difficulty III carrying out the object OF

furnish several hundred convicts for the

NEW YORK, May liking Carnival vis-
tied New York to-day. The day was lovely
and brought out an immense crowd OF
gazers at his Majesty. Throughout the en-
tire route OF the procession and at Union
Square, where the King reviewed the pro-
cession, there were dense crowds OF per-
sons. AS early as 9 O'Clock \. N. the Bat
tcrv Park was thronged with people, and
two hours later it is thought that not less
than 10000 people were present. \ large
force OF police kept the crowd in
order. Rex landed at the CUSTOM
house pier from the steamer. which
appeared to come from the Brooklyn side.
The boat was beautifully decorated, and
had considerable party on board. His
Majesty was received IN BETTING manner,
and the steamers arrival was hailed by the
firing of cannon, and the blowing OF steam
whistles by the steamers, and Rex landed
amid the cheers OF the vast cOncourse OF
people and to the music OF the SeYenty-hrst
Regiment band. The carriage, drawn ny
six bay horses, was in waiting for his Ma
iesty and his companions, Grand Turk and
KhediYc OF Egypt. In front OF the GUS
tom-housc wharf the King and his conf
panions entered their carriage, and the
procession started on its, way up Battery
place. The van was led by mounted po-
licemen, followed by the band, who in
turn were followed by the marshals on
horseback. Then came the King. The
industrial chariots fell into the line from the
side streets and from Whitehall street.
Nearly all the trades were represented, from
the makers of clothing to the makers OF
axle-grease. The brewers were also out in
force with tableaux cars. A printing-house
sent out q little. printing-ottice on wheels.
The soap manufacturers We'd with each
other grandly. Firework-men sent. burn
ing caldrons through the streets. One OF
the weekly Journals had car which car
ried characters in popular stories along the
line OF march. Tailors, butchers, wine
merchants, shirt-makers, furniture shops,
ice-cream makers, and many other trades
and Industries were represented. The
march; continued, up Broadway to Four
Eteenth street, and thence through Fourth
avenue to Seventeenth street and the grand
stand. where the procession was reviewed.
