Church, PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. ‘The session of the C. M. E. Conference was re- sumed to-day, Bishop Beebe in the chair. Devo- tional exercises were conducted by Rev. Isaac Bullock. Bishop Miles tendered his resignation as president of the missionary board, which was ac- cepted, and Bishop Holsey was elected to fill the vacancy. Bishop Lane tendered his resignation as agent of the Israel church, which was accepted. A committee was appointed to visit Louisville and ascertain what debts were against the church property, anid secure a release of the same. This committée was appointed on the revort of the gelect committee that they were unable to get the data on the Kuharstk claim. Rev. Mr. Hartsock, of the Hamline M.E. church, was introduced to the conference and made a brief address, and in closing sung two or three verses of a hymn. The bishop made a statement in regard to the affairs of the Israel church. He had been ap- pointed agent at the last conference, and an as- sessment Of 10 cents on each member of the con- Bection was decided upon. He satd that during the past three years $669.33 had been raised, and he was discouraged by the failure of the attempt. A request from the trustees of Israel church was read, asking the conference to Instruct the Bishops to take the notes outstanding against the church, amounting to $6,600, and to pay them out of the ten cent assessment fund. This matter was re- ferred to the finance committee. The rest of the Session was occupied with rout ine business. THE QUESTION OF UNION. This conference will adjourn on Monday night, after having been in session over two weeks. The subject of union of the various branches of the church is before the bench of bishops, and they have determined to have a conference with the dishops of the A.M. E. church. Bishop Holsey has been apgointed corresponding secretary, and he will arrafe for the time and place of mecting. At the joint meéting of bishops the plan of union ‘wWiil be discussed and agreed upon, and then will have to be adopted by a three-quarters vote of each conference. There is not much hope of a union plan being adopted, but it is thought that the meeting of the bishops will result in a more friendly and fraternal relation between the branches of the church. eee District Government Affairs. Dr. Smith Townshend, the health officer, who has been confined to his room for several ‘days with some bronchial trouble, is reported as much better to-day.

Arnold and License Agent Raff on charges of engaging In the business of selling lottery tickets,were put on trial in the Police Court to-day. Mr. Gould, who was tried for the same offence a few days ago, was also 1n court, awaiting sentence tn his case. Mr. A. B. Willams appeared for defendants. License In- Cee Henry Raff was the first witness called by the government, and testified that on seeing an advertisement ih a paper he went to the defend- ants’ place of business (No. 605 14th street) last Thursday and purchased a ticket for the Lou- islana lottery from one of the defendants.

There 1s but little doubt that the decision of the Court in General Term will be announced on Monday next in the case of Charles J. Guiteau, convicted of the murder of President Garfield, and sentenced to be hanged on the 30th of June, and It 1s understood that Judge James will deliver the opinion of the court. The opinion will be a very exhaustive one,especially on the question of juris- diction. It ts now conceded that there will be no dissenting opinion, but it Is likely that each one of the other judges (Chief Justice Cartter, and Judges MacArthur and Hagner) will give his individual views, THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION. There was considerable sald inthe argument on the question of jurisdiction, and the case of Rolla, decided by Judge Crawford in this District in 1849, was cited, and some members of the bar have had the impression that one of the judges would follow this case in dissenting. There was, however, @ case decided in Maryland a few years in which the question of jurisdiction was ruled on, but It was not cited in this case. In the Maryland case a colored man, Bun Bell, was stabbed by Charles Wallace on’ a steamboat at the White House. on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, and being brought to this city died here. The Mary- land authorities under requisition obtained the custody of the murderer, and he was taken to Port Tobacco for trial The points were ralsed on the trial that Maryland had no jurisdiction, as the fatal blow was given outside the mits of the state, and, admitting that the act was committed within the jurisdiction of the state, death having occurred outside the state, the court had no jurisdiction. The court (Judge Ford) held that the jurisdiction of Maryland extended to high water mark on the Virginia side, and this act was within the jurisdiction of the court, and that if the fatal blow was given in the state'the court had Jurisdiction, although the death took place elsewhere, WHAT DISTRICT ATTORNEY CORKHILL SAYS. “Will the Court in Bane render tts decision in the Guiteau case Monday ?” asked a Sra reporter of the District Attorney to-day. “ Yes, I think we will have the opinion Monday. I think there is little reason to doubt that the de- cision will sustain the point that the crime of mur- der ts punishable where the blow {s inflicted. ‘The question about the sentence does not amount to anything. ‘Tne sentence will not be disturbed.” GUITEAU HOPEFUL The prisoner Guiteau, who was complaining of a pain In the side a few days ago, has entirely re- covered, and for aday or two has been in good spirits, and he is now very sanguine of a reargu- nent, if not a new trial, How he has got thls im- Pression is unknown, but most likely he has ar- gued himself into the belief that his “neck will Rot be stretched,” at least for the present. ————— Sporting Matters, LADIES’ DAY AT THE LOUISVILLE RACES.
