THE METHODIST CHURcH.-The his
tory of the Methodist Church is full OF
interest. Up TO l774, Zone hundred
years ago. all Che business of the
church was done b. quarterly confer
ences, but in that year the church
had become so numerous, that it was
found necessary to reorganize and en-
large the powers Of the ministry, by
the adoption of annual conferences of
the whole church in the United States.
The first annual conference was ac-
cordingIy held in II Philadelphia in that
year. In 1776 the conference met in
Baltimore, and represented 1921
members and 25;itenerant ministers.
Sixty preachers were present at a
general conference held in Baltimore
o few years later, when an Episcopal
church, with superintendent, elders
and deacons, was organized. The de-
nomination thus took precedence of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of
this country in its Episcopal organi-
cation. Coke and AsburY were elect
ed superintendent, and ] deacon and
10 elders were chosen and ordained.
After controversy, during which
Methodism had been extended over
the globe, its membership has in-
creased to 4,44O,OOO. The number of
preachers is $4,000, and that of
churches 10000, the value of which
is 81, 100000. One hundred semi
naries of learning are connected with
the church.

THE ONO ELECTION. The election
in Ohio yesterday resulted in the
State going Republican, according to
the latest returns; this morning, by
from $4,000 to $4,000. Considering
the great advantages the Republicans
had over the Democrats with the
money power of tic combined States
at their back, and the local issues at
stake, this was no great victory by
any means, compared with former
presidential years. Ohio has always
been Republican State by large
majority and has cover been claimed
Is Democratic stronghold. In 1864
the State went 59,5S6 Republican
majority, and in 1880, $4,000. On
the whole the Democrats have done
well, and have much to congratulate
themselves upon. The present con-
test il BY no means indicative Of .
Republican victory next month; on
the other hand it slows that the Re-
publicans with all Of their mon
ey and power combined were not
able to carry the State by one-half
their usual majority.
