M. Mills, formerly of the East al. timore Conference, was introdeced as a frater. nal messenger from the Ohristian Union Church of Lilinois, and proceeded to address the Conference, tendering the members the greetings of his brethren in [llinois. He spoke of ‘abol{tioniem Ss having been broaght into the Methodist Church when it was opposed to the had opposed it with all hie might and etrengta, it with might and s' and ‘Cana itcame into the church be bad Withdrawn from the East Baltimore Uonfer- ence. He also asked that the Conference would readmit him. On motion of Rev. Mr. Register, Brother Mills was readmitted and assigned a superan- noated relation. The committee on the state of the church re- ported back the resolution in relation to absent members, reported it back with amendments, imserting the names of those referred to and clause “they having withdrawn.” The report ‘Was unanimously adopted. Rey. Mr. Brown, late of the M street Inde- pendent Methodist Church in Washington. ap lied for admission to the conference as a mem- , through Rev. A. W. Wilson, who stated that Mr. Brown had been ordained by a Baptist Minister. Some discussion arising, the case was laid over informaily. Rey. Mr. Register srose and stated that they bad now reached 2 point when it became proper for the Conference to effect a Union with the Methodist Episcopal Ohurch South He felt that the movement was one of import- ance, and he felt it in its magnitude and solemnity. lt was proposed to do an act which will in coming ages, come weal or woe, affect countless thousands—an act only second in importance to the conversion of a son! to Al- mighty God. This was an occasion which was unparalleled in the history of any Con- ference. After five terrible years of bardship, toil and suffering, they had, through the bies- sing of Almighty God, been gathered together todo what they pro} to doin 161. To Almighty God be endless praises for his over- ruling care. In taking this step he hoped that they would all rise above feelings of retaliation or ill will toany one. Asa body of Christian ministers, repesenting a membership of apout 12.000, they realize that Conference indepen- dency is impractical, they find that they can- not with self-respect unite with the Methodist Episcopal Church. In casting about they find the Church South in organization, doctrine and discipline, all they can desire, harmonizing with their own ws. They propose With all due solemnity to unite to thatchurch. The question had been asked as to what would be the boundaries of the Con- ference. He bad had the pleasure of attending the Virginia Conference of that charch at Dan- ville, and had received assurances that al! that this body could ask as to its present boundaries would be accorded. in domg this they looked toa future which may be cloudy, andin taking this course they may lose much. Many of them had lostall ex- cept their honor and religion. The future was, however. bright, and trusting in God that He will defend the right, be was ready for the movement. Mr. Register (hereupon introduced a pream- ble and resolutions, signed by Rev. Mr. Veitch and himself, setting forth the sentiment he had expressed, resolving to sever the connection ot the Conference witb the Methodist Episcopal Church, and to unite with the Methodist Epis- copal Church South, and also inviting Kev. Bishop Early, of the Church, to preside at this Conference. Rey. Jobn Poisal endorsed the resolutions stating that the doctrines of the Church South were the same as those of the old Methodist Church. After some discussion as to whether the young men on trial were entitled to vote and after that had been determined in the affirmative the vote on the resolutions was taken by yeas and nays, when every’ member present (nearly 100 in number) yoted in the affirmative. Revs. S. Register and 8.8. Rozzell were ap- poimted to waiton Bishop Early, and ask his @ttendance. Ina short time they returned es- corting the Bishop, who was welcomed by the lent, Rev. N. Wilson, of Winchester, and being informed of the action of the Conference, madea remarks welcoming the body to the Chureb South. The Conterence adjourned until to-morrow.

He forwards the affadavit of Wm.

Mills cannot ass gn any reason for the attack except the an- tipathy felt by acertain class of whites towards biack men who have served in the army.
