A report was submitted by the Committee of the
Month, hi connection with which a communication
was read from the Secretary of the Treasury in re
ply to a remonstrance from the Board regarding the
recent discrimination in the payment of duties, by
which New York alone was benefited. Mr. Chase
writes as follows:
."In making the order the Department was
governed by a desire to promote the interests and
convenience of all importing merchants in every
ntsy. The sale of gold was limited to New York—
first_ because at no other point had the Government
a sufficient amount of coin to answer the demand
and secondly, considerable hazard would have at
tended the extension of the authority given to the
assistant treasurer at New York to the distant
treasurers and designated depositories in all other
ports of entry. 1 ' * It will give
u „ pleasure at all times to receive the representa
tions of merchants of any city when discriminations
may be thought to exist, and to wive them the most
careful consideration, with a view to the correction
of any error which may be discovered."
The eOmmittee further reported that they had
transmitted the resolution favoring the action by
congress on the subject of completing the railroad
between Cincinnati and Knoxville, conformably to
a suggestion of President _Lincoln on that sub
ject.
Mr. Poulton introduced the following resolution,

THE RECENT . BOILER ENT'LOBION AT
'MESSRS. CORNELIUS & BAKER'S MANIIPACTOIi.—
The coroner's inquest in the above ease was resunled
again yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Clavitt testified that he built the - first boiler
like the one which exploded at Cornelius A. Baker's.
This ono, he said, is still in use, and it Oyes .hint
perfect satisfaction. He was quite certain that the
Wain who testified that the water was np to the
- first gauge cock was deceived. The try-cocks may
show water when the water is three feet below them.
Be examined a portion of the boiler about an hour
atter it exploded, and noticed the fact that it had
been overheated. The witness had put up about
fifty boilers of the same kind. They generate steam
fast, but do 'not save fuel. He did not wet them up
to save fuel, but for safety. He did not believe in
the explosive power of steam alone, when there is
plenty of water in the boiler. He thought' it was
theimection of the cold water which Caused the ex
-12.1081L01L.
This witness was frequently cross-exarnined by the
jurors. -
Several other persons were examined, who were
acquainted with the same kind of boilers, and
thought them perfectly safe.
This closed the examination of witnesses. The
jury will render a verdict at an early day.
A coxonwr for the benefit of the Central
Fair was given last night by the pupils of the colored
school, at the corner of Sixth and Lombard streets,
-under the direction of Mr. Bird. We are glad that
it proved a success.

THE QUESTION OF LAY DELEGATION-A MEETING
OF ITS FRIENDS
Mon.rimrn SEssioaq.—A preliminary meeting of
the lay members of the Methodist Episcopal Church
favorable to the introduction of ii lay represontas
tion" was held yesterday afternoon in the St.
George's M. E. Church. The attendance was very
favorable. Shortly after twelve o'clock a gentle
man arose and proposed the appointment of a tem
porary chairman, which was agreed to. lie then
nominated Ex-Governor Wright, of Indiana, to act
in that capacity, who was unanimously elected.
On taking the chair, Governor Wright expressed
his thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and
stated that the meeting was only a preliminary one.
Ito alluded to the meeting held m New York in
May, 1863, on the same subject, and now he said'
we meet under very peculiar circumstances, both as
regards our church and our country. During the
interval a considerable number of papers and
pamphlets have been written and circulated on
the great subject of lay representation. We meet
again for the purpose of devising right and proper
means for its introduction. He trusted that the or
pnization would be.perfected at the present meet
ing, so that in the evening they would be able to
proceed to thc regular business and discharge their
duties.
Several motions were then made to organise MA-
Thittees for different purposes : but no action was
taken upon them.
air. Thos. T. Washer desired to Irryr.v the character
of the meeting. We came here, he said, individu
ally, from Individual churches, and it is simply in
our individual character that we stand up and do
what we do. He thought it was simply a mass
meeting.
Several gentlemen stated that they Were eleeted
from their churches, and had their credentials With
them, and consequently were members of the con
vention.
lift.lS illey moved to appoint a committee of
three, for the purpos.e of receiving the credentials
of those who had been sent from the churches, which
was agreed to, and the committee appointed.
Cards were then handed around, upon which the
laymen who had not credentlitis wrote their names,
the city from which they came, and the Conference.
These cards were given to the secretary. The pur
pose of this movement was to ascertain what Con
rerentee were represented at the meeting.
It was then moved that a committee of live be ap
pointed to report on permanent organization this
evening, *which was agreed to.
The following persons were appointed as the com
mittee; Messrs. Bishop, of- New Jersey ; Rand, of
ildaSSachusetts ; Lunt, of Illinois; Allen, of Penn
sylvania ; and Oliver Hoyt, of New York.
After a few remelts by the chairman, relative to
the importance of the members becoming acquainted
with each other, the meeting adjourned to meet
again at the same place in the evening.
EVENING 6E85/ ON.---The meeting opened shortly
before eight o'clock.
After the singing of a hymn, prayer was offered
by Mr. Edwards.
The committee appointed to nominate permanent
Offleera for the Convention then reported—
For president, Thomas Knell!, of 3lassaehusetts ;
and a number of vice presidents and secretaries.
Those persons were unanimously elected.
Mr. Knell!, on taking the chair as presi
dent, said he came here as a stranger and
you hare taken me in kindly. lie was fully
sensible that they had not conferred the honor
upon him, but upon the section which he represent
ed. It is New England which you honor. She
greets you upon every question that thrills the hearts
Of men. We greet you wherever you may have
come from. Methodism is Methodism all over.
Whatever may benefit the Church in one section
benefits the Church in every section. It seemed to
him that in the present position of the Church, the
question which they came to deliberate upon cannot
be overrated. The founders of Methodism never
thought that this work would extend as it has done,
John Wesley did not contemplate the organization
of a Church, but of societies, and he did not make
laws for the government of - Church. The -
ministers came over here as missionaries. God
blessed the work. Classes were formed. The
Church was not organized till after the Revo
lutionary struggle. Then were severed all eeele
siastical administrations. One important principle
only was overlooked. No ecclesiastical association,
nor association of any kind whatever, has a right to • i
deprive man of his natural rights. Liberty san
inalienable right. Every just Government gets its -
power from the governed. When did the laity of
the 111. E. Church ever concede to the clergy the
right to govern. Here is a right that we have not
got. There is not an article, nor a sentence, nor a
word that shows that we have conceded the right
to govern to the clergy. Of right we should have a
- come in the general ,government of the Church.
.At one time it perhaps would not have been
right, but now, when the denomination has
Increased to such an extent, why should we be ex
+eluded from mingling in the councils of the Chureh I
Can she proepar by preventing it? Now look at the
state of the country; that must he taken into eon-.
sideration. It is a dark hour—au hour of great
commotion—but under the blessing of Divine Pro
lidellee, the clouds are beginning to break, and
Sooll will the bright sun creak through. Then
liberty will spread her broad wing over all the
land.. A Church numbering over a million of mem
bers has work to do. Religion must flow, and
Godliness must prevail in all the land, and no
church can he spared. it becomes us then to bind
on the whole armor. It is not expedient, then, for
the laity to be excluded from the councils of the
Church. Questions of great and still greater
magnitude are opening- before the Church. Can
you exclude the laity and still maintain the
power and efficiency of the Church 7 Why Is it that
the Methodist Episcopal Church , is so popular 1 The
masses love her for the doctrines which are preached,
There is a material difference between the theory of
the Church and the practice under that theory.
There is but one single right left to the laity, and
that is to deny the minister of bread to 1111 his
stomach. His idea was that such is the theory of
the Church that the clergy do not even carry it out
themselves. We want to know our status and our
-constitutional rights, and to have our rights written
down in black and white. What is to be done? Re
counselled 100 tearing of the Church to pieces, nor
extravagance. The clergy cannot get along without
the counsels of the laity, neither can the laity get
along without the counsels of the clergy. We are
all one in Christ. Assert your principles in kind
ness and strength, but while you do it lift up your
hearts to God for the success of the, Church. We
believe that the day is not far distant when the
rights of the laity will be asserted.
A letter was then read from Senator Lane, of In
-diana, saying that he was with them In lay repre
sentation, heart and soul, and trusted they would
.sueeeed in their efforts.
Senator Willey, of West Virginia., was then called
for. Ile said it was no part of his expectation, in
- visiting the Convention, to partinipate, in the small
est degrewin its deliberations. He has had Sufficient
'time to come to a Conclusion on the great. subject of
lay representation. His conviction was that the
time had arrived for the incorporation in the Church
polity of the laity. Can any person allege a suffi
cient reason why a body of people so intelligent as
are the masses of the Methodist community at this
day should not have a voice in the government of
the Churchl It will not do, at this day, to say that
the principle of civil liberty which is now being car
ried on in the country shall not have a lodgment in
the polity and economy of the Methodist Church.
'The abstract right is admitted on all sides, and this
admission is important. He thought the laity was a
silent partner. [Laughter.] 11' the clergy and laity
are united together it will trcs,-,,,zhen the bonds of
the Union, and the fellowship of the Methodist
peß le.
Mr. Weadley, of New Jersey, made a few remarks
on the subject of lay representation, and concluded
by moving that a committee of fifteen be appointed
by the chairman to devise a plan by which the lay
element shall be incorporated in the councils of the
Church.
Ills Motion was id

It was then movedlaid

Several others were received in reference to that
subject atilt lay delegation.
Atfer the call for petitions was made, the order of
the day was taken up, namely, the consideration of
the report of the Committee on Slavery.
THE QUESTION OF SLAVERY.
The committee in the course of their report say:
We rejoice that we have from the beginning
been foremost among American Churches in the
contest against slavery. Slavery has nothing to
commend it to our forbearance i on the other hand,
it has inflicted upon us injuries we cannot forget. It
Bas rent the Church in twain, and seeks to divide
he nation. It has kindled the fires of inortinguislt.
able hared along an extended border, and brought
indescribable distress Lon our brethren who have
labored there. These brethren we not only admire
and love, but we pledge ourselves to ,share with
them all that is possible or necessary in the labors
of the future. Loyalty to the Government loads us
to accept emancipation, whenever and wherever
the President proclaims it, or the States decree it,
and devotion to truth and to God impels us to bring
the controversy to an end in the Church by adopt
ing a rule which casuistry cannot distort into a
license for slavery_
We recommend for adoption the following resolu
tions
Resolved, 1. By the delegates of the - several Annual.
Conferences, in General Conference assembled, that no
recommend the amendment to the General Rale on Sla
very, so that it shalt read:
Resolved, 2. That we recommend the suspension of
the fourth restrictivu rule for the purpose set forth in
the foregoing resolution.
Resolved, 3. That the bishops be roauaeted to submit
the foregoingresolutions to the Annual Conference at
their next session, and if the requisite number of votes
be obtained, to report to the book agents, who are here
by instructed to insert the new rule in all subsequent
editions of the discipline.
The minority of the committee on slavery beg
leave to say that they have not been able to concur
with the majority in the conclusions reached by
them. For good and sufficient reasons, as they
think, it would not be proper to change the general
rule on slavery, so as to exclude all persons sustain
ing the relation of master from: the Church; they;
therefore, respectfully submit the following as a.
Substitute for the general rule on slavery, reported
by the majority, viz
The selling of human beings, or the buying or
holding them, except for reasons purely humane."
Colonel Moody moved the adoption of the majority
report. He was glad the brethren had united at this
point. In the words of Patrick Henry, he deemed
it a duty which he owed to the sanctity of our holy
religion to declare with emphasis that slavery is in
utter 'antagoniara with 9,ur holy Christianity. We
are about to strike the fatal blow, and lay this mon
ster low by the moral vote which we are about to
record. We are about to cleanse the Church of this
nuisance. He hopf,d there would be a vote that
would be a thundering blow to the rebellion and its
sympathizers.
Rev. Dr. Hibbard thought the moment called for
action, and the more silent about it the better.
Rev. John Lanahan, of the Baltimore Conference,
said if there were brothers here in the minority to
be heard, let them be heard, although any opposi
tion to the report would be like throwing sand
against Niagara. He thought the time had come
when they could move slowly and calmly.
Rev. J, Meliendree Riley, of Baltimore, said he
did not claim to be a convert to anti-slaveryism.
His father, a good old Methodist preacher, was him
self an uncompromising anti-slavery man. He had
instilled into his mind an abhorrence of slavery.
He grew up with these sentiments instilled into
his mind, and believed the day would come when
God would solve this problem. He had been a lit
tle anxious to navigate in the border through these
troubles, to retain those people who were not with
us, until they saw that God was against their cause.
He should vote in the affirmative, as he desired that
this controversy should end.
Rev. Mr. Phelps, one of the signers of the minori
ty report, did not think the precedents of the'past
justified the adoption of such a rule as is pro
posed by the majority. He contended that slave
holders, as a class, gave as sure indications of piety
as any other. He had known them all his life, and
for thirty years had been itinerating among them,
more or less. It, was also due to himself to say that
he had no sympathy with the system of slavery, and
he trusted to God it would fall, and if they could
throw it, he was with them 5. but while this was his
own feeling on this question, he was not prepared
to say that no man being a slaveholder should be a
member of the Christian Church. What oppresses
us, is that in its dying agonies it may do us an inju
ry, and you, by your present action, may contribute
to this trouble. Four years ago our represents
tives pleaded against the actiort of General Con
ference.
But for that action we to-daywould have six dele
gates where we now have only three. He was here
to appeal to the history of the past—to plead that
you might stay your action until four years more,
until we shall have pasted through this trouble. It
was not sympathy for slavery that induced hint to
make these remarks, but sympathy for the people
Wt 3. would be drawn from the Church by this action.
ev. W. F. Cowles said he believed the day was
coming when we would be astonished that we had
ever recognized slareholders as Christians. Any
man or woman who loves slavery better than they
love the Methodist Church, the sooner they are out
of the Church the better for it and themselves.
Rev. Mr. Drummond, of -West Virginia, was op
posed to the majority report.
Rev. Mr. Harding gave his reasons for voting
against it, as follows:
t - 1. It is contrary to the spirit of religion and the
teaching of John Wesley_
2. It is unwise and uncalled for, in the midst of
the revolution now being carried on in the Southern
portion of our land.
Lastly, because it might impede most important
measures now being made for the abolition of slavery.
Rev. Dr. Tippett, of Baltimore, did not want to go
ahead of time or Providence. Ile thought the friends
of the new rule were going ahead of time and Provi
dence. God has the question in his own hands; He
will settle the whole matter. God cannot be hurried;
He takes His own time, and never does anything in
a hurry. Slurery is 'doomed. 'Why then take this
action '1
The report of the majority would express his
views twelve months hence. [Laughter. A voice,
"I move that Rev. Mr. Tippett be permitted to re
cord his vote twelve months hence. He intends to
go for the report, but he thinks that it is alittle in
advance.")
Dr. Boyd, of Indiana, asked "Is there any law
now in Maryland to prevent persons from emanci
pating their slaves and taking care of themi" and
the speaker replied : The revolution in the public
mind is very remarkable.

THE cAsr. OP BISHOP HAZREY
--- - •
Rey. Charles Burch called up his motion of last Satnr
da7 in reference is Bishop iazrey. The resolution :
Mr..so/rest, That in view of the recommendation of the
report of the Episcopal Committee, it is the sense of this
Conference that it is inexpedient for Bishop linzrey to.
exercise the episcopal functions, or continue his episco
pal relation to this Church,in the United States, longer
than the time specified by the committee.
Rev. Charles Burch claimed the floor on his motion.
He said there were no doubt brethren here who Were
ready to light this question.but he was prepared to vote
only in accordance with the solemn convictions of his
mind. He saw trouble, and great trouble, lie wished
the brethren to remember what the issue was. It is
just this: we must give one of the Bishops toVanada_ s or
allow a COLlTilnlitiloll. of this double Fop - MCOpaVy. e
latter could not be done, and as the Bishop had said be
was ready and more anxious fairly than we were to
send him,. he wanted to express that we could not
recognize his request to make provisions for Canada.
and therefore, with all good feelings for the Bishop t and
no disrespect he urged the passage of his motion.
Rev. John Peck claimed that as Bishop Massey had
already resigned, the motion was of no practical utility.
Rev. Barth denied the resignation, and wished to
correct Rev. Peck on this pdint, as he was in error.
Bishop Haney sustained. the view of Rev. Peck;
whereupon,
Air. Peck continued to argue his point that the resolu
tion was uncalled for and out of order.
Rev. Charles Burch continued to urge the passage of
his resolution, claiming, at the same time, with all due
deferenceto the Bishop, that no resignation hail been
presented to the Conference at any time since it com
menced its sessions.
Rev. Wm. Moore moved that Rev. Burch be silenced,
for two days.
This motion, though repeatedly called for - by Rev.
Moore, was not put.
Rev. James M. Williams contended that it was an im
putation upon the Bishop's character to continue thus to
urge a question upon which he had given every satis
faction.
Rey. John Turner here wished to offer a substitute
which Le said would cover all the ground contended for
by Rev. Burch, and at the same time he snore satisfac
tory to the Conference.
Rev. J. H. Williams objected to any substitute or
anything akin to the motion of Roy. Burch.
Rev. John Turner offered the following as arenbsti
tato for the motion of Rev. Charles Burch
Whereas, Rey. Willie Nazrey, formerly one of the
bishops of the A. M. E. Church in the United States of
America, who has served in said connection twelve
years as au itinerant preacher, also twelve years in the
episcopal (Mice, with dignity and credit; and, whereas,
the British Of. E. Church, through their delegation,
have requested said W. Nazrey to lie granted them by
this body; and, whereas, by the action of this body the
request of the British id. E. Church has been granted
in the person of Rev. Willis iNezreyi therefore
Resetsed, That we cherish the kindest Christian feel
ings towards him and that our sympathies shall go with

the throne of grace in his behalf; that anccess may crown
his cilia-is, and that he may live long, on the other
side of the lakes.
fu;ihcr, That we will appreciate the visits
of the Ilev. Nazrey whenever it may he Lis plea
sure to favor us with his presence at our Annual Con
ferences.
Rev. Charles Burch rerneed to accent the amendment
or bubditute, bteatude it did not meet the ISSCLOO Or the
future et all.
Rev: Blisha Weaver desired every man to be timed.
according to the rules.
Rev. John Peck contended that the substitute did meet
the issue fairly, and moved that Mr. Burch's motion be
indefinitely postponed.
. _
Rev. I. 7SI Williams wanted the thing settled; he,
therefore, moved the previous question.
Rev. Mr_ Burch's motion was then put, and lost by a
large majority.
Rev. John Tamer's substitute was then put and cox
neg.
Rev. John Termer suggested that a certificate, in ac
cordance with the spirit of the above resolutions, be
signed by the officers of the Conference, and furnished
to bishop Nazrey.
Rev. Win. 3loore moved that a committee, consisting
of one from each Conference district, bo appointed to
prepare the above suggested certificate. Adopted. The
following are the committee: John Turner, John M.
Brown, 1% m. Moore, Joseph P. Shreeves, James M.
AMPS MClittOltht Thomas N. D. Ward ; John
Tibbs.
Rev. J. P. Campbell said that just here, while in good
spirits to clear away all dilllculties and harshness that
might exist in regard to the action of the Conference on
Canadian affair', - would it not he right to do something
for those who might, feel injured by some part of oar
action ou the above subject? Ile did not make a motion,
but only wished to throw this out 31. s a suggestion
worthy of our consideration while in this ploasnut
of good humor.
Mr. John A. Warren said that it was ont of place to
attempt to bring this matter back into Conference at this
time, after having so unceremoniously dismissed it
heretofore. Ile' ant he knew full welt. where the sore
Place was,but it could-not bermsched without bringing
up the whole question of Canadian affairs. - •
Rev. Charles Burch wished to know when the resin . .
nation of I3itAop_Nazrey.was to take place, as he had
understood She flishop to have distinctly said this could
not be done - in the interval of the General Conference ;
therefore, if it was not done during the seseton, it was
just where it was four Yon" ago, as had boon se pialnly
shown by Rev. Brown on is.t Saturday . ..
The Biehop mid it was d ono now, only so far as the
formality of the matter wits not complied with.

over the temporal bone, as if from a Oat surface; there
were contusions about the face, and the lips were cut as
if with a blunt instrument; three teeth were broken off;
there was a cat over the left browan inch and a half long;

to her fingers and between them were a few spears of
grayish hair; on removing the scalp the skin was found
extensively bruised, but there was no fracture of the
hone; resting on the right hemisphere of the brain there
was a large clot of blood; I then examined the chest;
one of the breast bones was broken; the ribs on either
side, from the second to the eighth, inclusive, were
broken about 23:,' inches from the anterior extremity ;
some of the ribs were broken in two places, and the
fractured ends of tionie penetrated the plenral cavity,

therefore the whole front of the chest had been forced in;
! the walls of the abdomen were severely bruised, and
the cavity filled with clotted blood, and she died in con
sequence of the injuries I have described; the injuries
to the chest were sufficient to cause death.

charge growing out of the following circumstances:
It seems that a man named Alexander .6fcaolnn avrivtoli

York. During the absence of the agent yesterday
morning, a man unknown, as is alleged by the de

the hoards upon the wharf; the employees toreceive the
advanced wages. They went to work in goon earnest,
and before the sun had reached meridian height
yesterday, the raft was half unloaded, Mr. Mcgninn,
the agent, returned, and was surprised at the soet‘e
before him. Ho ordered the men to stop, bat they Pahl
no attention to him whatever. In fact, they seem to
regard him as a practical joker. The agent finding ex
postulation in vain, sought a police oflicer,who arrested
the mon. The cane being examined, the above farts
were developed. The parties were required to enter
bail to await a further hearing. - Mr. Mcßitinn enter
tained the opinion that some of the lumber had been
carted away during his absence.

made towards the bar and all indulged, The beret
minded stranger produced a $5O note, but the bartender
being unable to make change, readily started out to pro

AMERICA BANK, BALTIMORE.
Sharpers in Philadelphia have circulated quite an
amount of small notes purporting to be the issue of the
America Bank, of Baltimore. The notes are very well
engraved, printed on good paper, are heantifally green
in color, and handsome in. design. The whole mbar is
superlatively bogus, and as most of the notes are of the
denomination of one dollar, the poorer class of the com
munity aro most apt to Buffet loss by having such spurt-.'
