Corrections by l'eunell Coombe.
Pennell Coombe arose and said he wished
te correct some misstatements made by
Mr. Neill last niht before the Historical
society lie had said that the conference
at one time was pre slavery ; this was net
se ; the conference was always anti
slavery in sentiment, but did net endorse
the ultra measures of the abolitionists,
who claimed that the slave had a right te
kill his master or masters and de any
ether act necessary te secure his freedom.
Other gentlcmeu arose te -correct Mr
Coembo, whereupon the bishop called
them back te the business of the confer
ence, from which they were straying.
Reports of Presidios Klders.
The annual reports of the presiding
elders ei the several districts were calkd
for and read. They showed general pros
perity iu the districts, Iti connection
with the report of Mr. Swindells, of the
Neithwcst Philadelphia district, a letter
from Dr. Everett, Gov. Pattison's private
secretary was read, in which he stated
that his health has been impaired, but
that it is his intention te assume the min
istry at no distaut day. After some de
bate action en his case was deferred uutil
be can be piesent in the conference. When
the name of F.M. Cellins was called, Pre
siding Elder Swindells stated that he had
been relieved from duty en account of
sickness. He had made application te be
placed en the supcrnumary list. On motion
conference granted rfce request.
A Ureeze ever Cleveland.
Wheu the name of H. A. Cleveland, of
Reading was reached Presiding Elder
Swindells declined te say whether there
was anylhiug against him or net. On be
ing pressed for an answer he read a paper
charging Mr. Cleveland with having at
tended the installation of a Universalist
pastor and made an address en the occa
sion. Wm. J. Paxson made a motion that in
the judgment of the conference the act of
Rev. Cleveland was unwise, nevertheless
his character pass.
A warm debate followed. Mr.Cleveland,
who was present gave an account of his
attendance at the Universalist installa
tion ; his action had been misrepresented,
in the press and by personal enemies. All
that he had done was te attend the instal
lation at. t.Im rfirmnst of niauv friends iu
Reading whom he had known in Ntw
England. When he objected te attend, he
was told that Mr. Neely, Dr. Brisbine and
ether geed Mtthedists bad preached in the
Universalist church and the Universalists
had offered their church for the meeting
of conference. They wanted him merely
te be present and after the service say a
geed word for the pastor te continue the
geed feeling that had heretofore existed
between the parties. He had no thought et
and nobody tuppesed that he was, com com
premising his faith or adopting theirs.
He has new in uis pecaei cciuumwe
from the Baptist, Lutheran and Reformed
pastors who were also present at the in
stallation, that nothing was said or done
connecting him with Universalists. He
had written out the remarks he made en
the occasion, and is willing that it shall be
read before the conference. Mr. Cleve
land added that when he was stationed in
New England he found that Methodists
and Universalists met in the same churches
one party in the morning and the ether in
the afternoon, and that they fraternized
en festive occasions without thinking for
moment of compromising their faith.
A motion was made te strike from Mr.
Pni-Kfin'H resolution that portion charac
terizing Mr. Cleveland's aotien as being
stand's aotien as eeing
unwise ; and Mr. Little mevea as a bud-
stitute that "the character ei .Mr. Cleve
land pass."
B The preposition was received with ap
plause and alsoepposition.Fresiding Elder
Swindells took the fleer, and, disclaiming
all personal ill'feeling for Mr. Cleveland,
and complimenting him for past services,
scathingly criticised his conduct in connec
tion with this unfortunate affair. At the
conclusion of his remarks a dozen mem mem
hera were en their feet claiming recegni
tien. During the turmoil Mr. Elliett
made a motion te adjourn, which was car
ried, and the conference adjourned until 9
o'clock te morrow morning, witheutreach
ing a conclusion of the case. Amidst noise
and confusion, which the bishop charae
terized as the worst he had ever seen in a
conference, several announcements of an
niversary and committee meetings were
made.

The Philadelphia Chronicle Herald,
which seems te take an interest in the

"when the churches were peer and scat

isters should be kept continually en the
go in pioneer work, when te gain a foot
hold as a distinctive sect it was important
that they should be bound together by a
strong discipline." Uuder this system

It appears that some prominent Metho
dist ministers are considerably out of
pocket by reason of investments iu a min
ing speculation which turned out disas
trously. Had the enterprise proved a
success their praise would have been in
most men's mouths. As it is, however,
they have net only sunk their money but
must run the gauntlet of criticism for. hav

ethers in losses. It is about the same old
story a hope of endowing an institution
and of doing geed in ether ways, but a
miserable failure and much censure al
though there was no dishonest intent
about it. A lessen has been learned in
this regard in ether churches, our own net

Proceedings.
Special Dispatch te the Ixtelueescss.
Habrisbdre, March 14.--In the Sen
ate te day Emery's free pass bill was
roTrnetiiir MTwirtpd - as were the following
Heuse bills ; providing ferevening schools;
authorizing Superintendents of pnblie in
stitutions te issue certificates te teachers
in cities of the fourth class; equalizing
taxation for school purposes in independ
ent school districts ; authorizing railroad
companies te extend their linesandte

mation, imposing a fine of net less than
five hundred dollars and imprisonment of
net less than one year ; Greer, prohibit
ing persons treating ether persons te in
toxicating liquors and providing for a fine
of twenty-five dollars.
McKnight's joint resolution for a con
stitutional amendment decreasing the
number of senators te thirty-three and of
members te one hundred was defeated.
Similar action was taken en the bill im
posing costs en unsuccessful contestants
in oleetion cases, une iouewing uu
passed finally : Cooper's water trough

chase lands in Erie for public buildings.

beard of health was reduced te

BUTLEBMAKESA SENSATION.
He Vetoes the Bill Making Appropriations
Fer VbaritHble and Keiormaiery
Institution;.
Rnamv. March 14. A sensation was
created in the Legislature te-dayby a mes
sairn whinh Governer Butler presented,
vetoing the bill making appropriations for
tbe expenses et various cnanuiuiu auu re-fnrmntm-v
institutions of the state. He
declines te sign it for various reasons. 1st,
that it contains appropriations ier uisinci
purposes, some of which are objection ebjection objectien
nhln and ethers are net and are but
a continuation of what he says is the vic
ieus practice or writing m tne euiainerenr.
appropriations for entirely diverse objects.
He quotes this method as applied te con
gressienal appropriations, wnere v. is a
great bar te satisfactory legislation. Taking
the total appropriations of the bill.te wit :
$47,000, he equalized the various items
which make up that amount. Most of
the appropriations, he says, are for
the payment of salaries, expenses
and cost of supervision in the state alms
house, workhouse, primary school and re
formed school for boys and girls and
he estimates the appropriation for salaries
at 69 per Cent, of the amount te
be expended for the maintenance
of these institutions. The salaries
have been increased rather than
riiminiaherl ITnnn a better ac
quaintance with the cost of doing business
for the state, he is mere tuan ever con
vinced that the commonwealth employs
mere efficient agents than are neces
sary te de its business, and reviewing
the statements made in his inaugural ac
dress reaffirms his assertions therein :
that tbe state institutions are managed
with unnecessary extravagance.
