CARPENTER said the Senator from New Jer- vey (Mr. Frelinghuysen) was prepared to speak on the bill, and it should be taken up. However, ii a majority of the Senate determined to stand by the Keliogg government, right or wrong, te admitted it would be bad policy to bave any debate on the subject, The Senator irom Onio (Mr. Sherman) Bad come here with several financial conundrums which had occupied the ate four months, The Senate would have veen astonished i! some Sen: tor had expressed a desire to dispose of measure without debate.

PROGRESS OF THE CONFERENCES, THE NEW YORK CONFERENCE. nate stat The Case of Dr. Ferris Decided After a Heated Debate—His Character is Al- lowed to Pass—Reports of Co:nmittees. ‘The New York Conference continued its session yesterday morning at St. John’s church. As usual, the business meeting was preceded by devotional exercises. The galleries (which are set apart for spectatora) were crowded with ladies attracted by the exciting case of Dr. H. Ferris. of the. Bed- ford street church, which was expected to come up. Bisaop Peck presided. After the “passing” of several characters and admission of candidates on trial, the case of Dr. Ferris was called. The main facts were detailed in the HERALD of Saturday. Dr. Ferris was for- given two years ago for having altered the date of the expiration of a commutation railroad ticket, | upon iis confession of the s‘unintentional” wrong he had done, and he published a month ago @ pamphiet in defence of the act, which had been condemned by the Conference, and which he had admitted to have been hasty and wrong. The pub- lication of this defence was considered bighly im- proper by some of the members of the Conference, and a committee was appointed to report whether rose to A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. He said it was certainly enough that his unfor- tunate blunder had rested upon his shoulders for two years; but, as the matter was to be brought up again, he would ask, as a privtiege, that Dr. Daniel Curry, editor of the Christian Advocate, be allowed to act as his adviser. No objection was raised to this, and Dr. Carry | said he understood that no charges had been preferred against Dr. Ferris, He objected to the | taking up Oo! the committee's report, rT. M. Osborn thought that when a report had originated im the Conterence 1ts consideration could not properly ve ovjected to,* Here followed a heated discussion, and the re- port of the committee was finally read. 16 em- braces the joliowing resolutions :— Resolved, That some of the opinions and arguments on important” moral questions set forth in this mn - phiet are, in the judgment ot the Oonterence, wi of Gecided condeimiation, and especially that we judge deience of the change uf date of a rajlroad tickets to have been entirely unsatisfactory, be+ tL itselt we stole, 4, Thatin the real or supposed be which Brother Ferris had suilered at the hand@ of the agents of the railroad company we find some explanadon of, the state or frame ol inind which has led to what we deem bis biassed judgment in th inious which we con- demn , we also ound in the same consideration & par! explanation, though no suaicient jusufieation of act. ved, That, having thas uttered our berate ame ch Brother Ferris indeie this Judgment concerning this act tri fend, we do not judge tha atemp' constitutes assage of his surance to the Con- rr iis the jurther dissemina+ al questions involved. ¥¢ ference ol tion of such senumi Secretary.

Ab excited debate ensued, im the course of which Brother Brown satd he had loved Dr. Ferris as his own brother, but the Conference ought to condemn the doctrines of the pamphiet, Dr. Cur! tats testimony or what? Bishop Peck—We can’t tei what it is antl we hear it, (Laughter) Brother Brown then read extracts from the pam- niet, but was frequently interruoted. He hoped there would be some decided expression o1 the sentiments of the Cunterence denouncing the wrong committed by Dr. Ferris, Vhey could not afford to jet the community think toat they én~ dorsed a violation of @ contract and the fraudu- lent alteration of a date. Dr. Curry called the speaker tO order. An, marks reflecting upon the character of Dr, were ont of order.

He beileved that Dr. Ferri bad dong no moral wrong. People were aggr | vated sometimes by these avaricious corporations, | The Conference then adjourned till two o'clock | in the afternoon, | At two o'clock the Conference met again, the galleries being again crowded. | Dr. J.

He made a motion to that effect, which was adopted, The amendment was then carried. | _ Bishop Peck—The report as amended 18 now be- fore you. Dr. Curry then reaa a statement of Dr. Ferris, declaring ‘that bis pamphiet was intended to be explanatory and conciliatory, and that he still denied, as he always did, having commutted any intentional wrong. Dr. Ferris’ ebari er was then passed by a large Plause from the gallery, Dr, Curry then said: rite ren, you are good people; you have done rise the American Bible Society bad distributed 1,000,000 Bibies last year in America and 300,000 in Europe, and complimented it on its efficiency.

The Conierence was invited to hold its next ses- | sion in Beekman Hill church, New York; in the First Methodist Episcopal church, Meriden, Conn. ; | im the First Methodist Episcop.i church, Hartiord, Conn., and in the Fairhaven (Conn.) Methodist scopal church. Last year the Conierence came pear adjourning without having any place se- | lected, and finally was offered its present place of meeting, which it accepted, This year it had four and more to choose irom. | were pressed by the but the character of ; sented by Secretary Goodsell, from the | Meriden church, was such that, mstead of ; Voting as usual on the places im the order of their invitation, the Conference almost unanimously voted in favor of Meriden. Not only did the Metho- | dist Episcopal church there mvite the Conference, | but the First and the Second Congregational | churches and the Baptist church there offered their » Tespective churches and entertainment to the | Conference. And the Secretary remarked that he | had the invitations of two other churches to offer | if these were not euough. | took action im this matter at the same time, de- { respective the pastors; cided the number of ministers that each would | entertain and subscribed the amounts necessary, i so that It was impossibie for the Conference to re- | fuse the invitation. But it was urged by Dr. Wood- | rafY as a further motive that the Conference | should interchange between New York and Con- | necticut. | On motion of Rev. D. A. Godsell, Revs. D. Curry, | H. F. Pease, J. A. Koche, George Taylor, J. M. Buck- | Jey, William McAlister ana L. 8S. Weed were elected triers of appeais in the Judicial Conier- ence. | A NEW METHODIST SENSATION. At this point # “iree Methodist,” named King, | who has a special mission to interrupt proceed- | ings in Methodist gatherings, and who, during tne | avenue and Hanson place and other Methodist Eptscupal churches, put the qnestion to the Con- | ference and demanded an answer—‘‘Has a brother | a right to go to law with a brother and that before the unbelievers?” To this scriptural query he added @ rambling charge about a suit, in which he has been defendant, and which has cost him | $250, whereby the bread was taken out of the mouth of a widowed mother and a hal!-orphaned sister, &c., &c. An attempt was made to sing the man down, but he was evidently prepared to spike that gun, and held his ground and went on again, until a couple of the trustees of the church took nim by the coat and placed him outside the church door, The business of the Conference there- iter continued. Brother Phillips, book agent, called the attention Of the Conierence to the iact that of $9,000 due by the brethren to the Concern he had received icss than $5,000. When the jast report o! the agents over the country $300,000, He wished this indebt- edness canceiled betore the Conierence adjourned. ‘The report of the Committee on bible cause was read and adopted. The Rev. W. H. Boole was appointed to preach the conference sermon next oper. Ministers were instructed to omit all irac- donal parts of a dollar in their statistical reports to nominate the standing committees ior next year. Dr. Scudder asked what the committee ap- inted last year to relieve the Rockville Cen- | tre church ‘had done im the matter. Mr. Buckley replied substantially that the sus growing out of that complicated case jad been carried to the Court of Appeals, from Which, however, it had been subsequently with- drawn, without trial, upon the payment of costs, and that now the Conierence was in debt to the committee and the Kev. Mr. Comer, the then pastor Of that charge, in the sum of $900, Notes were out | which must be met promptly, and the onjy way he knew of sevtling i 4 tnis business was to take up | Subscriptions on the spot. This was done, and | $628 25 was pledged or paid there and then. THE TEMPERANCE LADIES BEFORE CONFERENCE. The order of the day was then taken up, and Mrs, Johnson and Mrs. Wilaer, the delegates of | the Women’s Temperance Union of Brooklyn, were imtroduced by the committee and addressed the Conference, Almost every mch of room in the church was crowded with peopie—a large propor- tion of tuose ore being ladies. The fair cru- waders looked jubilant. Mrs. Jonnson, a meek, matronly lady, ied the way. “We come before you to-day, she said, ‘as Ohris- | tan women. We have followed Our Blessed Lora to Calvary and have found there that His recious blood cleanses irom all sin.

Dear preturen, we have gone at the call of God and are domg this work ‘or Him; will you | ald us?”? RESPONSE OF THE CONFERENCE. Mrs, Wilder also addressed the Conference, after which Dr. Woodrul, Revs. S. H. Platt aud W. H. Boole replied and presented the resolutions which imdorse the principles declared vy the General Conterence and set jorth in the Discipline of the Methodist Episeopai Church, that total abstinence is the only temperance which the Bibie and physi ology demand, and that the Conference wil! labor to secure 1t4 practical snpremacy; that this Con- ference knows of no necessity Jor which it should retract its former this subject, nor add committed to total abstinence as the only true | temperance rejorm, and therefore urges al! its people to abstain trom Whe use of alcololic seta except fcr chemical, mechanical and medicinal purposes; that they believe that by ims mov Ment God is calling the women of the Church to the front, and whenever they are called to g0 out the Conierence pledges them its heartiest ap- proval and co-operation. Nr. Buckley inade a few remarks iu defence of merce for sacramental! purposes, at the same time giving his approval to those resolutions whicn Were adopted, Dr. True offered another resolution, which was adopted, requesting the stewards in Metuodist churches to furuisi for sacramental! purposes only the pure, unfermented juice of the grape, Dr, Budington was introduced, and after some rou- tine notices and business the Conierence ad- journed, The Conference Temperance Society held tts an- niversary in Simpson church tn the evening.
