Among the attendants wero four of tho inmates: of the Old Ladies’ Homo, on Indinua avenuo, Thoy entered heartily into the devotional exer- eises, and maniferted thoir feeling by shedding tenrs during roveral of the prayers. The programme of the Conferonce was taken up promptly nt 10 o'clock, Mr, Swann acting as Modorator, and Mr. Gorten ag Clerk. ‘Tho first order was the discussion of “MISSIONARY WORK, AND HOW To no 17.” ‘Mrs. II, DB. Matiford was introduced to tho Conforonce, Bho said that sho had concolyad tho iden that, inasmuch as tho ladies had been at work in tho causo of missions in tho Church throughout the State, it was proper and right that somo facts setting forth what had beon dono should be pro- sented to tho body, which would facilitate tho discussion in no tittle degres. Shoe then intro- duced Mra.

RYDER said thero wore three things necessary to organi- vation: First, tho Poaception of tho idea; second, the grawth of the idea; aud third, the roalization of the benofits grow!

All these forces wera uoeaded to be brought together. ‘This the Cbureh had been laboriug to attain for years, and, whon the obstacles confronted were considered, tho struggle Lad been @ uoblo one.

W, R. RALPH eaid that since ha had been in the room a lady had offered to give $106 toward establishing a missionary fund for tho State. He had taken prent interest In the work, and, with tho agents, had como to tho conclusion that somo uow scheme must be adopted ty accure success. Io thought thoro ought to be raised a lar¢o mission~ ary fund for the State,—at least £25,000,—which wonld secure a missionary to advance the cam- mon interest, A publisuing-houso fund was also nocesrary, by which the State could be flooded with traots, which would revive the work, and Kindle the fires in every belicver'’s hoart, aud xwell the Chnrch far boyond its prosent propor- tions and intlucnce, THE REV. 8. F. OIbD, of Sycamore, said tho hoartily indorsed the work already duno in tho causo by the Indies. ‘Tho conferenco might not know it, but it wos a fact novortheless that thoy wero supplying suveral of tho parishes of tho State with preachers, At the conclusion of his romarka he offered tho follus- ing resolutions : Wurneas, This first mecting of tthe series of con- ferences to be het in the Northwestern States in the fexerous attendance upon it and the genuine spirit of Feligions devotion developed, and Cliietian enthuslasm enkindied, Is pro-eminently successful Waenss, It [adorable above alt’ things to make practical and to utillze tho onthusLasin of tis confere oro roited, That we oamestly call upon the officers of the Illinois S.ate Couvention to at once arrange a reries of Btate conference moetinga in such parts of our State a8 must need the inlluence of nich niestings, aud that, they appoint two or more ministers to take charge of euch mootings, After somo disctission and an attempt to rofor to a spacial committes, the revolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. Gorten then moved the appointment of a special Committee on Rexolutions, to report during the évening. ‘Tho motion provailed, nnd_the Nev. James Gorten, Dr. Ryder, and Stra. GB, Marsh, wore appointad said Comunitteo. Irs. Marsh and Mrs. Manford wero then in- vited by resolution to attond the future confer- cuces of the Northwest, after which the Con- ference adjonmed until 2 o'clock. Dinner was served during the adjournment in tho dining-room of the church. It was elegantly prepared, and equally woll served. — AFTERNOON SESSION. THE KIND OF IRPACIING MOST NEEDED. Tho Conforenco roassembled at 2 o'clock, and after devotional exercisos the programme was again taken up. Tho Kind of Prosching most Needed" was the topic for dincnssion. TNE DEV. 8. F, GIDD, of Syracuso, was tho firat spoaker, Tho subject was one of tho most important before tho Con- ference, Ho thought “tho kind of preaching not noeded,” however, would bo equally as good a subject, for the poor preaching of tho country was equaled only by tho average preacher's pay. Ho thought Beriptaral facts and universat admissiona wore too often used as pulpit themes. The Bible was acknowlodged, ond much timo was wasted in useless bermous, The ,people woro yearning for tho bread of life, and what was needed was that kind of prosehing that would reach tho heart. Present salvation was tho great question, ‘To attempt to convince the world of what it was alroady convinced of was buta contontion with time. The people neoded the hind of preaching that would inspira new hope and a groater aspiration for holy living, What was called popular preaching was well euough, but the preaching for hearts rather than money was moro desirabie. Good to the universal family of man should bo the ministorial object. It wastruo that monoy was necessary for tho success of tho Church, of which any amount could be had if the world waa given ta Understand that the asker was in deop earnest. It was not massive walle and oxpensive froscoing, but present salvation, that should bo the alm of the ministry. TNE REY. A. 0. COUNTLYMAN, of Dubuque, said the oyes of the denomination wero contercd upon this body. Ho was sorry tho Conforonce was sending forth the ido that the Church was impoverished, and that this was tho first mecting of tha douomination in the interest of the revival of religion. Ie had come here through curiosity fo hear from tho Church of tho Northwest, but was not prepared to indorao ail ho had heard, He thought Christianity ought to be preached to the oxclusion of alleluo. Lot it be preached from fult hoarts and forvontly, and the churoh would bo crowded. He betioved in Christianity, aud preaching should tend to organize. He was a Univorsalst bocauso ho could proach Christianity withont reforeuco to creeds,—becauso its pulpit waa freo atid ith peopie liberal. The Ideay of the Church wero in advanca of ita strongth, which was in contrast with othor donominations. Tho people shontd bo made to feol the obligation of Christinnity, and not that they wonld bo saved uaturally, THE R2v. J, 8, PALL, of Lafayetto, said tho question was 9 great one, If asked what kind of preaching was most necd~ ed, ho would reply that ho did not know. Pour Janda of preaching, however, woro necessary,— tho doctrinal and practical taking precedence, Controversion preschin: Was nocessary in somo Places, but Dible preaching overywherc, If tho bible was cancollod, the Church would fait. Io was opposed to Church forma, but tho power was what was needed, practical and thorough, The apple should bo made to feol tho love of Gott 1 tholr hearts, and ho wonld alao like to aeo it displayed in thofr walks in life. Ho closed with an oarnest appeal for a more active and prac-* tical religious life. THE REY. G. Ht. DEERE, of Minnesota, said with him the question waa what kind of preaching he could do most ane- cessfully, ‘Lhe old theology was crumbling tap. idly, to which the Church had contributed, aided materinlly by literatura aud scionce, which had cropt into tho minister's study uninvited. Tho need was reconatruction, the basin of which would bring the world to» nearer relation with God, ‘The ministry ueedod to arouse and to par- take of the chcorful life of Jesus Christ, and to cxert an influence moro directly and earnestly for the eaving of souls. Tue next order was the discussion of UNIVERSALIS IN ODTHODOK AND INDEPENDENT CHURCHES, Tho Noy, Sumner Elis led iu the discuesion, Ho eaid there way a large mass of people out. sido of tho Church who had tho samo ideas held by Univerualivty, Le divided them into two clasgou, the ministry and the people. The speak. er rovlowed tho sermone and ideas of many prominoot miuiaters ontelde of tho Church, and thought they ought ta ba at (oues taken hold of by the Church, Ministers did not often jump, unlike tho grasshopper, until they “kuew where they wore going to jump. Ho thonght the Univervalist Church ought to extend its hand to all theso men, and sive thom ghoarty and swift recognition. Tho people were the other class. They wore found with prejudica against the Church, althongh adopting ite faith through its literature. What could ba done with this class? ‘Thoy could not ‘be smoked out of their owa churchos, but must be shown the richness of Universalism. Io: would advertise the Church and ita doctrines through the press. ‘This plan was now in vorue in the East, and was highly succovsful. A dig- uitlud ministry was another plan, from the nck of which the Church uow euifercd. Many min- istera entered their ficld as pugilists, aud sought first to kuock somebody down, doing tvet what should be done laut. Another course adopted, to tho rain of the Church, was the ring: jug out of old doctrinal eermons,—eermons that bad beon before preached. aud were adapted toe former aye. Cliuurch unity was tho epint of the ago, but too often neglected. ‘The modern mio- dater would take the whole conimunity into bis army, avoiding pogilise, aud the giving of of- fen No other ould build up the Church: Promote the vanse of Chrivtinnity, Another way to reach the people waa by tho Church lit. erature, which shonld he philosoptucal and fillod with tho highest thoucht, Thia waa now com- Ing out of tho colleges, which would gorvo aa missionary influance to promote the Cliurch intorunt. Its weight would be felt ere long. His- tory was also coming to tho rescue of tho Chorol, oapecially ite own, and in pencrations to come would attract thousands whocleo would Loin ignorauce, It waa snid py somo Christiana that the time would como when all denominations would be onlisted under the Universalist ban- ner, and that tha existing Church would lave uo room. Iie would wolcome the day, for it would be the dawn of that day of unity #0 much desirod, and the presont Church woul be the mothor of all, with Father Murray at the hoad af tho patriarchal life, Dit, RYDEN said the quostion implied that thera was a great deal of Universslisin in the orthodox aud tnde- pandont churches, Io was not here to auertion tho proposition, but was often provoked with tho press ay ho saw it take up sermons wherein eternal hell-fire wos derided and call thor au- thors Univornalists, He was glad to ave individ- uala being liberalized, and he had no dont thero ware 4 groat many outside of the Church who wore in sympathy with Universalism, Thoy wore for the most part negative in their idcas, and out of sympathy with all church-doctrine, a thoy understood it. He though there novor was: time whon tho preaching of tho Gospel of Christ, which ho recognizod as tho epitome of Universalism, was moro heccaaary than now. lle felt that the Church waa misunderstood, and that it was his duty to preach the doctrines lo helioved, and if he failed Wherein ho was un- worthy fo occupy hia pulpit. Ho believed in a QGuspet of which Christ was the contro, and ho would daro to preach it under any and all cir- cumstances, Chriatianity would bo a blank if stripped of its meaning or eloted in doubt. Ie hoped to soe the Church revived, and the etornal principles pon which it was founded preached in all their power, Following Dr. Rydor'’a address, the Moderator announced that the hour of adjuurnmevt bad arrived, and that the scesions of the Conterenco would close in tho avening with a sermon by tho Rev. James 1H. Pullmaa, of Now York, Tho Nev. 1. II. Pullman thon camo forward and congratulated the Conference upon ite do- liberations, Ho felt that God had hoeu with them, and thats profitable season bad been en- joyed, and all would returo to their homea rco- nowed in spirit and reiuvigorated for the ardu- ous labors of their soveral parishes, Tho Conference adjouracd with the benedic- tion. —. EVENING SESSION, PRELIMINARIES, Tho Conferonce assembled again at 7 o'clock, when the attendance was found to bo materially augmonted. Tho drst half-hour of the session was given to devotional exerciyes, led by the Rev, Mr. Otta- way, of this city, Tho éxorcises wero of tho moat intercating character, eutered into und ou- joyed.by all present. ‘bo next order of businuces was the reading of tho resolutions adopted during the afternoon by the clerk, who was authorized to state that any body or parish wishing to comply with the resolution could bave the necessary srrange- monts made by addreysing the General Socrotary at any tiwe, RESOLUTIO: Tho roport of the Special Committes on Reso- Intions was then mado. The Chairman stated thatthe Committee lind consulted, and bad de- termined that further resolutions wero unneces- sary, except to acknowledgo tho hospitality ox- tended tho Conference by the parishes of the city. The Conference had been a great euccess, attributabio largely to the reception given visit- ora by the wholc-sonted brothren and sistors of the faith inthe Gardon City. The following rozo- lution was thon roported : esolved, Tuat the thanks of this Mass Convention be tendered to the members of St, Paula Pariah, anil to the aller Universalist parishes of Chicago, for the generous aud Leautifnl hospitality they have extended tw all those in attendaneo on this Convention, The resolution was adopted by a standing volo, ‘The programme for the Towa Conforence, to commence uf Codar Rapids, Feb, 10, was thon roa, aud all present wore cordially invited to attend, ‘Tho bnainess of the Convention was then da- clared to bo at an ond, when the closing oxer- cises wero axain announced to be a sermon by THE REY. JAMER I. PULLSIAN, of Now York, who at tho timo was occapying a teat in tho pulpit, After singing and prayor, Mr, Pullman was introduced. Ilo delected his text from Gala- lane vin 7, 8 9, and spoke substantially as fol- lows t He understood the object of tho Conference to be to decide upon methods of church work, ‘The best mothods wero uscloss unless backed by w motive power, Tho engine built for power and spoed was useloss unless supplied with the steaw to drive it, If wo had already reachod the best method, we had only boguin to get ready for the work. If we forgot iu tho organizing epoch tho spirit within the wheel, we could not expect to go forward with mtccoss. Tho outlook in the moral aspect of the country was demoral- ising, by Whe seeming Tine drawn between business success and buuiness rectitude. In politics tho intercsts of the country wore suifering from debauchery. ‘The cause might bo attributed to the want of moral power, which was a fact terrible in ity importance, ‘The dotiuatiug roligions Leliefs wero practically in- active. Tho theories of Justification by Haich and Endless Punishment occupies a conspicuons place, Io know of no due who was living and advancing in the world depending entirely upon Justilication by Faith, ond no oue believed in his heart iu eternal punishment, With euch g beliof his usefuluces would bo partially neutralized, ‘There was nothing sectarian fn his heart, hence he hailed with uncoucealed joy tho divine call which was his, It weemod that many wera living over tho his- tory of other days, wherein the commands of God were made a noventity Ly & foolish belief in carly traditions. It lad boea a Church idva to mako bell ag terrible as possible, and the way to cxenpe it as broad—by some Church toll-gate, Doctrinalism was ono of the dreads of the times. Ho would eachew all religious formule, and ad- here to the Cross of Christ, tho foundation of die) Hberal, pure, and positive raligion of tha world, One of tho virtuca of Univeraalism was that it endured a degroe of odium, It was not a vario- ty of orthodoxy, noryot a gect, It was from the root—n radical doctrino—a systom complete in itelf, ‘Tho doctrine had been held against tho most virulont persecutions, and was routed iw those golden days when mon know moro of tho doctrines loft by God. The Church, thon, was not new, for it had pessoa ita first ‘con- tury. Its onrlicat ~provinco§ was for thoological reforin, but had sproad to compase Broater objocts,—the bringing of God's once tore undeiited bofore mon. Ita followers Were convarted to an eterua! moral order, and the laws of right aud wrong were written on the tablets of eternity. Man could novor bo happy without au absolute conformity to tho moral Jaw, the eternal jaw of roctitude, which must ever cxlst oud work in Wl countries aud worlds, Falling to comply with this law begat only il, uy evidenced in the pun- isbmout or afflictions visited upon humanity, Poualtios came upon tha world, to develop tt from its ignorance into that highor tifa, and that rocoguition of the power of the great moral law.

Such complaint shall be aimues by tho State's Attorney of Cook County, on] ttde hereby made the duty of sald Stnte’s Attorney to proseente all actions conimenced under thin nc under the head of “Extortion,” containa this provision : any officer authorized by isw to charge fece shall cburge, demnand, or take auy greater fee than suct as ix bylaw allowed bim for the service performed, or fhall charge, claim, demand, or take any fee, or who shail knowingty charge sfco when no feo is’ allowed lim by law, or when the services for which such fee charged ha¥e not becu performed by bin, or by some other persou for bim, he shall, on the Orat conviction thereof, be fiued not fese thay £25 nor more than £200 + aud, upon a snbsequtent conviction of auy ike offenee! he shall forfeit lis office and be conflued in the Coun ty Jail nut lesa than thirty days nor more than one ss Tho samo Jaw aleo gives A PRIVATE REMEDY: Any officer who violates tho provisions of thelr pre ceding section {the one next auove) sal), Iu addition to the penalty therein provided, be ined for each item fo charged, coflectet, or received, ot less than $10 not more than #100, to be suod for and recovered bafore auy Auative of tho Beace of the proper county, in an action of debt, In the name of the people of the Btate of Iili- noia, and for the use of the person against whom ettch foo fs charged, a from whuin the same fe received or collected, JUSTICE HINADALE. It Is probable that Justice Hinsdale will be tn- dictod for overcharging Mr. Buckloy. ‘The bill first rendered amounted to 10.10, but, fault be- ing found, it was reduood to 96,53, which was patd. Mr. Buckley anbscquently lodged a com- plaint with the Grand Jury, and they requested him to get an itemized bill from Hinsdale, He wont to that Justico’s office for the purpose of doing #0, but the clerk rofused to give him ono, saying “it was nono of hig businoss.” Mr. Buckley, bowever, appealed to Hinsdale, aud waa furnished a bill which footed up only €3.10—%6.90 less than the original bill, aud $9.33 les than the “ corrected” ona. It will re- quire no other evidence than the three bills to convict Hinsdale of oxtortion, and it is not uns likely that su example will bo made of him and of Constablo Perrine, who demauded pay for services he had not rendered. If a few of the litigant who aro boing daily swindled by other Justices of the Peace woutd do as Mr. Buckley has done, the practice of demanding aud collect- ing romething for nothing would be broken up, and hundreds of dollars saved to poor people who ean il-afford to lose money, capecially during the prosent hard times, oe Ree THE NEW MEN.

This fight waa brought about by tho putting on of » fost passenger train by the Groat Wextern, to which the Grand Trunk objected. not being able to make the sametimo. Thereupon the Grand Trunk Railroad reduced ity fare from Detroit to Buflalo from $7 to $5. The Great Western fol- lowed suit, and yesterday the Grand Trunk mado another reduction of #1, bringing the fare down to £4 from Detroit to Buffalo, As yet this fight has not affected the roads leading from this city to the East, but there 1s 8 probability that they will algo become involved in the quarrel). All the linos lending tothe East are getting ready for war, which, when once inaugurated, will prove o fearful ono, to the railroads at least. The public can stand such war, as by it rates will come down to almost nothing. The war amonz THE FREIGHT DEPANTMENTS has already begun, and ‘‘cutting” rates is the order uf the day. Though 40 centa to Now York on fourth-class freighte is considered very low at this ecasou of the year, still large con- tracts are now made at 35 cents to New York and 30 ceuts to Puiladolphia and Baltimore. This freight war was Legun hy the Michigan Central Railroad, but it ia’ claimed by the Managers of this road that the Freight Agents of the Vittn- burg & Fort Wayne are responsible for it, They are accused of having “cat” on the ely, to the disadvautage of the Michigan Central and Mich- igan Sonthern Roads. Tha new General Freight Agent of the Michigan Central Railroad is a yeleran in the business, and does not understand that kind of fun. He bas determined todo as otbers do, and “cut” alittle himself. An all the other roads leading to the Eest are now “cut- ting,” thera is no telling where this thing will atop. A FIGHT ON A BMALT, BCALE, haa also broken wut between the Vandalia Lino aud tho Ohio & Miseisuippi Hnalroad, becanss the Vandalia Live has put on a through train azainet the wishes of the Obio & Miasiswinpi Rnilroad. The rates between St. Louis and Cincimnati have therefore been reduced from £10 to 35. Tt was stated at tho Cloveland meeting, by some of the Managers favorable to the Saratoga agreement, that if the combination was broken up. not a single road would ba ablo ta exist a year longer. Others again claimed that the com- bination has already cost several of the ‘roady over 501,000, and the roads we1e better off without it. THE PABSENGER AGENTS, The General Western Passenger Agents of the ronds leading to the East have beer. quatrelins with each other for some timo past. Each onv accuses tho other of violating the commission agreoment, and # serious rupture has been Jook- od for for some time past, They have all becn summoned to appear before Commissioner Wade- worth to-day, and he will pour oil upon the troub- Jed waters and try to soothe the warlike feetinza of tho savage General Paseenger Agents, AW thore ia, however, but little prospect that more thau ono or two of the warriora will obey the BumInnDs, DO good can porsibly result from the meeting. —— MISCELLANEOUS, : TRE CANADA SOUTHERN, The Canads Southern Qailroad Company has just mot with # severe accident. ‘The tranefer-boat Amberstberg. which transfers freights and paysengers acrove tho Detroit. River, and connects the Canada portion of the road with the American portion, 20 miles below Detroit, froze fast in the middlo of the river a day or two ago. Efforts were made to liberate tho boat by rawing it out, but the ico worked under it, and froze fast to tho bottom. It will probably have to remain in its preseut position for several weeks.
