NEW BISHOPS.

Interesting Proceedings of the M. e. GEN
eral COMMUNICATIONS New Bishops
Chosen---Earnest Plea for Recognition
of the Colored Man.
CINCINNATI, May 12.-Bishop Foster presid-
ed at the session of the general conference this
morning. The fact that the election of bishops
was to take place drew a great crowd. All
seats not occupied by delegates were taken
early, all the standing room was occupied and
ladies had places on the stage. Among the res
olutions offered on call of conferences, was one
offered by Rev. Hammond, colored, of the Lex
ington conference, for the election of colored
bishop. He supported his resolution in very
mastery speech, arguing that a church which
had such shining record as this one on the
subject of human slavery, and that had
stood 30 bravely by the colored race in all
movements for its elevation, could not ask the
nation to do for the colored man that which
the church denied. His time was extended be-
yond the time allowed by the conference and
at the close the rules were again broken by loud
and long applause.
DIR. Quest, of the committee on Episcopacy,
said that the committee already had the SUBJ
ject under consideration and he could promise
that it would be settled without prejudice and
solely upon considerations of the good of the
church.
ELECTION OF BISHOPS.
Mr.. Hammond's resolution was then tabled
to take up the special order for 10 o'clock, the
election of four bishops. There were no nomi-
nations made. Twelve tellers were appointed
as follows: Chas. J. Clark, w. 81. Hughes, G..
J. Seney, A. Harmont, s. NJ. Bright, r. D.
Gone, j. @. Clark, B. Kelly, r. Mcmillan, j.
M. Carr. J. g. Tiff, and W. Cook.
The secretary then called the roll. Each del
egate when called arose, answered. The teller
then received his ballot and called out ''voted,
whereupon the next name was called, and 30
on. This took much time, so that it was near
ly - o'clock when the call was completed. Each
ballot had on it the names of four bishops. At
the conclusion of the ballot, the tellers retired
with instructions to not divulge the result in
anv way until made known at the afternoon
session, to be held at st. Paurs church, and
then to return the ballots to the conference
sealed.
