Crowley, who liad hitherto becn content with stlekhn; closely to Olmstead, also left the latter an went after Sherry, but was hardly ablo to keep up with him.

Cincinnati, O., May 12.--This 1s the day for which so many days were made. Imme- diately after the rending of tho journal the final arrangements for the balloting for new Bishops were submitted, and, after many suggestions, additions, and discussion, they were adopted, as follows: First, that twelve tellers be appointed; second, that they take the vote by ballot and by Conference; third, that when the vote is taken tho tellers shall retire with three of the Secretaries te count the votes; fourth, that the votes be divided Into three lots, and .that one Secretary and three tellers should count each lot; fitth, that the four persons recelving the highest number of votes, provided they have a ma- Jority, shall be selected, and Sf fourth aud fifth on the ballot,a second ballot shall be taken; sixth, thatthe result be announced by the Chair, and that blank ballots shall not bu counted; seventh, that if more names than tha number to be elected be found on any bullot, the first four names only shall bo counted, and that if nny one name be repont- ed onthe ballot, the entire ballot shall bo thrown out, It was ordered that nelther in this nor any other election shall nominations bo made before the balloting commences. It ‘was also ordered that if any vote was not ap- proved by all the tellors, It be returned to the Conference for verification, It will be seen that nlimost every contingency in, the way of A “FAIR COUNT” was provided against, When the Conference was about to vote, the Rev. E. W. I. Hammond, a colored mem- ber of the Lexington Conference, asked for a suspension of tho rules, that he might pre- sent a paper, After a littleskirmishing, leave was grant- ed, and the paper was read. It whorensed that from memorials, petitions, ete, it Was evident the colored people desired a Bishop of thetr own race, and that such an election would be a recognition of. their fall manhood, and was a necessity In the exton- sion of thelr work; that the General Confer- ence of 1873 declared, and that of 1876 re- affirmed, that tho memorials, petitions, ete, on the subject should be reapesttily cone sidered whenever the election of addftional Bishops should be necessary, and that now that necessity was on us and the thne had come to pive practical operation to the above deciurations; therefore, . Resolved, ‘Thut tho Genornl Conference recom- mond the election of a colored mun to tho Epis- copacy, . At the close of the reading, Mr. Hammond took the floor, and his speech was the sonsa- tlon of the Conference thus far. When his thne expired it was by unanimous consent extended, the first time such a thing has heen done at this Conference, It ts imposai- ble to given worthy nbstract of the speech, but the following will give some idea of It: The time has come to elect a colored man to the Episcopal ofllee. ‘The groat Methodist Episcopal Church will not have, and we do not ask, a restricted Episcopacy, nor do wo ask ono not the equal of his cdl lengues In culture, plety, and executive pbillty. Wo bellove such a man ean be found, ItIs afirmed that projudice against color Is such that a colored man cannot bo ehoson, I solemnly declare I do not believe that the great henrt of the Methodist Clinreh ty Tolluted by such a staln, or that she wor- ships at the shrine of a prejudice whieh finds its only excuse in the color of man’s skin. John Wesley styled American slavery THE BUM OF ALL VILTAINIZG, and the words electrified the Church, and consecrated her to freedom. Now, after the work of the century In missions and emanel- pation, aro you willlug to tarnish the fair nang of the Church by ylelding to this prej- udice? ‘To-day a prejudice against aman heenuse of the color of his skin or the toxt- ure of his hair Is the crownlng villainy of the nineteenth century. “1 would not draw the color line, but what God hath cleansed. ealluot theu common,’ Then cana much magniloquence about erecting & monument cemonted with martyr blood, garnished with nobio deads, Ine serlbed with various sentiments, | and pon its apex the standard of Methodism inscribed, “God our Father; Gurley our Savior; Man our Brother.” We ave REACHED THE CNISIs, tho Rubicon ig before us, easily seen. God selects this Chureh to solye the problem which has almost bafiled: the skill of tho Nineteenth Century.. You taught us wo were men, You reached out your hands to the four millions of chattels that amid tho roar of battles came tramping from the swamps, the bayous, and the plantations, What will you do with your protégé? Jo- hovah has triumphed, lils people are tres, Now York may burn an agylum and West Point torture’ a cadet, bit the outlook is hopeful, Though the Solid South may IMonaes and punish into servillty the poor hegroes, and ostracise those who labor for this sulvation, yet, sirs, the black hoat' is coning, for God has decreod It.

The New Suburban Line of the (linois Central. An Effort to Tower tho Grain Rates— Tho Hiinols Association, Mooting of Railroad Agents in Indianap- olis—Extonsion of Old Lines. RAIL VS. WATER. Tho General Managers of the various roads in the Joint Executive Comunittes were notl- fled yesterday by Commissioner Fink that thore will be a mecting of the “High Joints” in New York May 25. ‘The letter of Mr. Fink docs not state what subjects will come up be fore the meeting, but it ls generally known that tho principal topic of discussion will be tho matter of enst-bound freight rates. ‘The roads leading east from titis point, na well as from other Western points, think 1¢ would be good policy to reduce grain rates to 25 cents por 100 pounds, With 1 80-cent rato tho railronds are getting but little business at this polnt, and shivments aro now Hehter than they have becn for some years past, and most of the business coming here from the West takes tha Inke route, where tho rates are comparatively low. The Eastern trunk lines, however, are greatly op- posed to a further reduction, and think 50 centson grain is low enough for 9 swinmer rate. Tho trunk lines ean afford to take this nosition, as they do not stuffer from the Inke competition to the same extent ns tho West- ern lines, They get considerable of the Inko business at Lake Erio ports, and, with higher rail rates prevalling, they gct n larger rate on the business from those ports to tho sen- board than they would with low rail rates, 8 thus far the trunk Ines have carried their points nt all the meetings of the “High Joints,” if is more than probable that the present rates will be continued untess some contingencies should arise which would maken reduction more desirable for their interests. ‘This point is greatly benefted by high astern rates during the navigation season, 3 the business secks this outlet, where It can take advantage of the low Inke rates. The following will show the correctness of the above statement: For the week ending Saturday, April 8, tho total shipments of Fin from Chicago were 2,004,015 bushels; of this the rallronds carried. 559,580 bushels, and tho Inke 2,135,935, From this it will be seen that tho Inke'took away 1,575,755 bushels inore than the rallronds, or about three-fourths of the total shipments, he total sliipments from the various Eastern senbonrds during the past week amounted to 2,886,843 bushels of corn, As most of the grain shipments from Chicago consisted of corn, it will be seon that Chicago alone sur- passes {n shipments all the Enstern scaboards combined. ILLINOIS CENTRAL SUBURBAN LINE.

By the construction of an additional double track between the Central Depot and Grand Crossing, the I!lnol ‘entral hing vir- tually secured an entirely Independent sub- urban line upon which suburban trains can run back and forward as often as necessary without being disturbed or delnyed by the regular tyrough trains, Entirety new ears and locombtives have been constructed for this line, differing nistertally froin. those horeto- fore In use, and they will greatly nda to the comfort and convenience of the patrons of the line, ‘fhe new ears, six of which oro now ready, are simHar to those used on tha New York: ‘clovated railroads, having sents placed in the usual position in the centre, but with others at each cud, facing ench other after the manner of slreat-car in. order to facilitate ingress and egress, ‘These cars will seat forty persons each, only two loss than the ordinary conches, weigh only fourteen tons when empty, and when fonded no more than those ‘now in use when empty, ‘Tho engines witl be of thedouble-onder style, and were built by the Rogers .
