Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South. met in Atlanta, Georgia, on
Wednesday, the 1st int, and was organized
with Bishop Pierce in the chair and Rev. T.
D. Summers as Secretary. Judge James
Jackson, of the Supreme Court of Georgia,
who is prominent Methodist, in the un-
aveidable absence of Governor Colquitt, who
is also member of that Church, delivered
an eloquentspeech of welcome, upon the part
of the Methodists of Atlanta and the State
of Georgia, which was responded to by Bish-
op McTyeire on behalf of the Conference.
The regular committees were then APP
pointed.
| The quadrennial address of the Bishops
| was read by Bishop Doggett on the second
day. Among other things, they recon-
mended in their address was the election of
but one Bishop. The Committee, however,
to whom the address was referred will con-
slider the question whether mere than one is
necessary, and report accordingly.
A communication was received and read
from representatives of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, recommending an Eccumeni-
cal Conference of all Methodists, which was
appropriately referred.
There has been some spicy discussions
on credentials, particularly those of Rev.
John Hogan and Logan Cameron, lay dele
gates from the st. Louis Conference,-objec-
tions being inelligibility. The law requires
a layman to be a member OF the Church
six consecutive years to entitle him to be a
member of the General Conference. . 1t
seems that Mr.. Cameron has been mem
Der OF the church for thirty-fve years, but
for some reason, within the past six years,
was out for about six weeks-hence the OBJ
lection. The inelligibility Of Mr.. Hogan
consisted, as contended, that the law of the
church declared that one. fourth of the lay
delegation may be local preachers, and that
inasmuch as the st. Louis Conference was
only entitled to lay delegates, and Mr.. Ho-
gan, being local preacher, he was inelli-
gible under the law. Both gentlemen were
seated.
The fraternal delegates from the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Rev. d.. Foss and
Hon. j. Cumbrick will not be present until
the 18th.
The business Of the Conference at first
progressed slowly as is usual in the COM
mencement of General Conference.
A number CT petitions have been received
from various sections of the church ON the
utility of Presiding Elders term of pastor
ates, etc., etc., all of which were appropriate
ly referred. |
The personnel of the Conference is very
fine-said to be the finest body of men ever
seen in Atlanta. On Sunday the churches |
of the city generally were occupied by the |
ministers OF the Conference. |
There has appeared In this venerable and
august body one very extraordinary phe-
nomenon-a preacher who does not eat
chicken

A CONFESSION The Richmond Dis
patch of the 30th concludes an article on the
Florida stuff as follows:
With regard to the rumored relation OF
Mr.. Tilden to these matters, we must say we
have no faith in it; and further, we have
none in Mr.. Tilden himself. All thought
of bringing him forward any more is nom
sense. He stands no more chance than a
horse that is ''let down, for another race.
Nobody will touch him with ten-foot pole.
Yet this is man for whom refusal to vote
two years ago, was regarded by the same
Dispatch as treason to Virginia and the
South. He was the great ''Reformer," the
Apollo Belvidere of politics, and to question
his eminent fitness for the Presidency was
to be denounced as untrue to the best inter-
ests of the country.
