spective districts, and they, in turn, answered as to

Tbe diatnets, m represented, ere in s good condi
tion, ana glorious revivals among the ohurehes have

The Bev. Hr. Higgins, from the same diatriot,was
granted a superannuated relation.
Bev. Dr. untie, presiding elder of the South Phi
ladelphia district, announced the death of Bev. J.

tag to remove to the We.t, waa granted a location.
The ballots were then oait for the remaining dele

Wallaoe, his presiding elder, was continued on trial

appear before the examining committee on account
of 111 health.
At this time a paper was presented by Bev. J. F.
Chaplain, with his name attached to It, charging
Bev. Elijah Hiller with conduct unbecoming a min
iater.
Several remarks were made as to'the propriety or
lawfulness of stating the charges before an open
Conference, and as to whether he had been previous
ly notified that the charges would be brought against
him.
No action was taken on tbe matter, but it Is the
intention of Mr. Chsplain to have the caie thorough
ly investigated, and so noted on.
The fifth ballot for a delegate waa then announced.

Ids warmest thanks for their consideration of him,

Rev. T. C. Morphy then "said: I move you that it
is with great pleasure we hear this letter from our
feliow*brother and co-laborer, and we express our
unabated confidence in and sympathy with him in
the great work to which he has beeireslied, and that
a committee ol three be appointed to address him on
the part of the Conference, and give some incidents
which have or will take place during its session,
whioh was so ordered,
Tqe same committee as before were continued.
A resolution was offered by Rev. Mr. Kurtz re
questing Rev. Pennell Coombe to furnish Ms airmon.
on baptism,delivered before the Philadelphia Preach
ers* Association, to the book agents at New York for
publication in traot form.
Bev. Mr. Coombe hoped such would not be the case,
asit waa not a sermon but merely the skeleton of one
and besides, he had no desire to bring his name be
fore the public.
Amotion was made to lay the resolution on the
table, which was lost. The resolution then passed.
The majority of the Committee on the Division of
the Philadelphia Conference then offered the fol
lowing report:
The committee appointed at the last session of
this Conference to obtain information on the sub
ject of dividing the Conference, beg leave to report,
that they have received communications from only
a few charges, and these mostly from the Peninsula.
No new facts have been obtained, but a majority of
the charges, which have expressed a wish on the
subject, give preference to a division by the Penn
sylvania State line. Eighteen Quarterly Confe
rences, or the Snow Hill district, out of nineteen
Which took action on the subject, ask for the Penn,
sylvanta line—three of the charges in ’Wtimlngtoa
district ask that there be no division at present
In the opinion of your {committee, the state ol the
country has not so far changed since our last ses
sion as to justify a different course of notion from
that then taken; they, offer the following
resolutions, viz:
First. That is Inexpedient to divide the Confe
rence at its present session.
“ Second. That this Conference respectfully ask
the next General Conference to renew to us the au
thority to divide at any session between this and
the General ConferenVof 1868.
P. COOMBE,
JAS. CUNNINGHAM,
Rev. Pennell .Coombe said: These are the facts
which have been brought before the committee up tc
the time the report was made.
Rev. Mr. Massey moved that the report be laid
on the table for the present. Agreed to.
The sixth ballot for one more delegate to the
General Conference was then announced. Whole
number of votes cast, 173; necessary to a choice,
00. The Bev. W. McCombs received 102 votes, ana
was therefore declared elected.
Amotion was then made that instead of electing
two reserve delegates, to serve in case of death,
sickness, or otherwise, the original committee have
power to select them. Laid on the table.
The members then cast their vote* for two reserve
delegates, and tbe tellers retired to count them.
The Rev. T. J. Thompson presented the following
as a minority report of the Committee on the Di
vision of the Philadelphia Conference:
Whereas . The General Conference of 1860 did 'an*
thonze the Philadelphia Conference to divide itself at
any tune prior to the next session of the General Con*
ferenca and form ft new Conference; and whereas there
is a strong conviction in the minds of many of the preach
ers and people on the Peninsula that a Conference for
their territory, bounded north by the Pennsylvania
StsU line, will promote the interests of the church with
in their bounds: therefore
Rtsolvea, That the Philadelphia Conference be, and it
ieierebv divided into two conferences. The one to be
called Wilmington embracing /Delaware.
tbe eastern shore of Maryland, and the eastern shore of
Vvainia. and the other to be called, as - now. the
Philadelphia Conference, and to inclnde all the remain*
ing portion of the present Philadelphia Conference. .
Resolved, That a committee of six. three from each of
the proposed Conferences, be appointed to divide equita
bly between tbe two Conferences the claimants on itß
mnds. together with all other interests, educational,
nnanleal. or otherwise, and that they report to the next
session of the Conference
Resolved, That the two Conferences hold their next
session together.
Mr. Thompson desired his repork to be laid on the
table, which wafi ao ordered.
The motion made on Saturday, to strike out the
preambles to the resolution in regard to the new
chapter on slavery, was at this time renewed.
Rev, P. Coombe said it te those great historical
faots which have produced the thanks expressed In
the preambles. He was entirely opposed to striking
them out.
Rev. Wesley Kenney somewhat doubted the ex
pediency of entering upon the discussion incident
ally raised upon this subject. He wanted to know
if the preambles set forth facts, If they do, why
want to strike them out. Did we concur in 1861
with the East Baltimore Conference. We did. It
admits, then, of no controversy* He then quoted
the different points, and asked if they were all facts, 1
which was affirmatively replied to. If these are ■
not fasts, join us in this issue, and if they are let us '
show it by our votes. i
Rev. George Barton thought the words spoken by <
Mr. Kenney were strange logio. He objected to the 2
preambles, not because then were no faots expressed
in them, but because they are not presented here in a
legal form for actions taken by us. He held that '
the above were not proper reasons for action in the
premises. It involves a principle of moral as well
as civil law. The preambles are irrational and de
grading to the Church. He held that no law of the
Government could change the eternal principles of '
truth and righteousness. It assigns a reason for
action whioh, in hia judgment, was unworthy or
the body. He wanted the resolutions alreadvpassad
to stand on their own merits. He continued at
length, when a motion was made by Rev. John
Thompson to lay the preamble on the table, and ear
ned. The tellers then reported the votes for reserve
delegates to be 165 j necessary to a choice 85, No
one received the required number, consequently no
one was elected, neither was there any further bal
loting done. The Conference then, on motion, ad
journed. ’
After singing the doxology, the benediction was
pronounced by Bishop Levi Scott. SIVAD.

Mr. H. G. Joneii the corresponding leeretarv.
read a letter from John William Wallace, E§a., M
acknowledgment of the honor of his recent eleotion
as vice president of the society, in the course of
which Mr. Wallace says:
“At no time of our national history so much as now
nave duties fallen on those persons who form the his
torical associations of the country. The great immedi
ate. and practical interests of the conflict going on about
ns are so absorbing that we are scarcely conscious of
any thin* in the tcene but a great, immediate, and prac
tical issue. _ In some senses it is well that we should see
no more. let in the moral interest of it allj in the dis
play of arnica which it exhibits; in the scenes and oc
currences of battles which stand out as upon a fore
ground—lt cannot be doubted that the events of the day
which is passing over us are destined to form for suc
ceeding ages a theme of inexhaustible sad still deepen
ing interest.
“We are so much, ourselves, partakers in these
events; we are so entirely of this age and of its type,
that we are not capable, perhaps, of estimating, in their
fall truth and genuine character,either the events them
selves. or the persons who appear to originate and give
them definition. We see no great deal, perhaps, in
either persona or events, which resembles the type of
that htroitm and of that statesmanship which history
has thus far considered the American type; a dignified
and remarkable lype, no doubt, and one which, perhaps,
will never be reproduced; the type, I mean, of that day
whMil achLTed op- lodtpandenco and established our
Constitution; the day of 1776 and 1787,
'• Yet it cannot be denied, I apprehend, that both the
events and the men of this day have their own type; a
remarkable typo also; one which, if it finds »o exemplar
in any previous age or in any other country, is probably
not the lees a get nice type in its relations to greatness.
It is a type cast in the mould of a xew and individual
creation; the product of that indigenous and self vital
spirit which inhabits a vast country of popular institu
tions; a spirit of power strong lfi Its own strength.

THB CITY AGAINST VLANIGBN AND THB CITY VS*
JOHNSON—IMPOBTANT DECISIONS.
Yesterday morning opinions were delivered In
two cases which are of considerable importance*
In the oaie of Johnson and the City, in which the
question at issue was whether Councils or the Board
of Sobool Controllers, noting independent of Coun
cils, had the right to fix the scale of salaries or
teaohers in the publio schools, the eourfc decide
that the Controllers must act in subordination to
and with regard to the appropriations made by
Councils for the payment of salaries of teachers.
The City of Philadelphia vs. Jane Johnson. Er
ror to District Court - of Philadelphia. Opinion by
Woodward, J.
From an examination of the act* of Atiemhly, to
Which our attention baa been dlteoted in this sale,
it la apparent that everything pertaining to the pub
lie aehoola within the oity and oouuty- of Philadel
phia ha. been oommitted to the Board of Control
ler*, excepting only the public purse, which has
been kept earerully in the hand, of the City Coun
cils. The Controller, have- power to establish
school,, to provide .ehool-books, to make rule, and
regulations for the conduct of the school,, to appoint
teachers, and to fix their salaries ; but they have no
power to raise or appropriate revenue,.
They were made a body politic by an act of As
sembly in 1843, and a, suoh wa, capable of receiving
and holding property, real and personal, but by the
consolidation act their property and trust funds of
every hind and description were transferred to and
vetted in the oity of Philadelphia, and nil sum, of
money due, or to become due to the Board, were to
be paid into the City Treasury; and all sums ex
pended by or for the purpose, of the Board were
to be paid by the Oity Treasurer upon order,
drawn under appropriation, regularly made by
Councils.
By the act of consolidation, the authority of Ithe
City Councils over the funds of the oity was made
as abiolute as the sepatatiou of the Board of Con
trollers from these fund, was complete. No money
was to be taken from the treasury without having
been previously appropriated to speoifis objects by
the Councils, and no appropriation wa, to be over
drawn.
_ Before the first day of March in eash year, the
Controllers of the Public School, were to furnish
Councils the amount that, in their {judgment, would
be necessary for the publla schools, but Councils
were to direct the amount to be applied and paid by
the City Treasurer to school purposes. A iubis
quent set of 1866 prescribed that no appropriation
should.pe made withoutan ordinance therefor,
expressing the objects thereof, and the amount ap
propriated to inoh object.
And still another .act, that of 1866, enjoined the
City Controller to keep separate acoounts for each
speoifis or separate item of appropriation, and all
warrants were to state particularly against whtoh of
said Items said warrant Is drawn. The City Coun
cils also were required by the same act, in making
appropriations, to state the items of expenditure
under separate and distinct heads for which each
appropriation was intendrd.
The Legislature have thus done all they could
to place the disbursement of the public funds in the
same hands in wbioh the power of taxation is
lodged, and the power of disbursement is hedged
round with all possible checks and guards. An ap
propriation in general terms "for the support of
Subtle schools ” would leave to the City Controller,
Ity Treasurer, or the Controller, of the Publle
Schools, the power of appropriation to the many
specific objects that combine to make up the com
mon school system of the city, and would ba too in
definite for the purposes of the sots of 1856 and ’56.
Nothing but specific object, and -Items will satisfy
the demands of these statutes, flense, the Couoeils,
by an ordinance of March 4, 1861, very properly
itemized the appropriation for school purposes, ap
propriating $1,600 for salary of the principal of the
Normal School, and $4,200 for salaries of the
teachers in said sohool, and providing that the City
Controller should countersign no warrant for sala
ries of tray teacher., except he find that a scale of
salaries has been adopted by tbe Controllers, whtoh
sbould not exceed in the quantity payment, one
fourth of tbe aggregate in said ordinance, appro
priated for salaries.
We consider that ordinance a fair mode of dry
ing out the intent and purpose of the acts of Assem
bly. Without specific explanations there would be
great danger of woful expenditure. But OouooUs
could not be expected to specify every item of ex
penditure In their act of appropriation. The system
was too large and complex to admit of this. More
than half a million of dollars was appropriated by
tbe- city for school purposes In 1861, which, beside
tbe State appropriation, was to be applied to the
construction and repair of school houses, the pay
ment of salaries, the purchase of books, and other
necessities of numerous schools throughout the city.
The Legislature of the oity was not a body well fitted
to descend into the minute details of the system,
and to measure out the exact sum eaoh teacher was
to receive, but they oould olaulfy the general ob
jeotr ol expenditure, of whisk teachers’ salaries
would be one, leaving to the Controllers the subdi
vision of the sum appropriated to that object among
the several Individuals entitled to share in It. Tet,
If tbe Controllers were not required to graduate sa
laries In suoh mariner that the aggregate should not
butrun the appropriation, it i, manifest they might
involve the city lo debt, and compel a new appro
priation to meet deficiencies, a principle of adminis
tration destructive, not only to true economy, but
of the theory of government, whloh confides tbs
public parse exclusively to the discretion of Coun
cils. Accordingly, the ordinance was framed to
meet all these conditions. Speoifis appropriations
authorized distribution among proper parties, and a
6 rBBua dcd scale of salaries to prevent deficiencies.

uouDoUe what the Legislature have very expressly
lodged there—the exclusive power to iueur debt, to
Mite revenue, end to appropriate money*. Thl»
oancot be permitted at the lew now stand* written.
It follow* from all this that the plaintiff waa not
entitled to recover, and the court ahould ear to.- It
la no matter whether aha was a teacher In the Nor
mal School or the Girls’ High Sehool, or whether
the action of the Controllers Waa right or wrong.
She waa a teacher In the aervloe or the attv, and it
Was the duty of the Controllers to fin her salary with
reference to the services of all other teaehers, ao
that the appropriation to teaohera’ salaries would be
adequate to pay every teaoher as well aa herseir.
Until tbla waa done ahe had no right of notion
against the city. But If the Controllers neglected
to perform their might, perhaps, hold them
liable in damage*. She might certainly hare the
mandamus of the court to but them into obsdienoe

The City of Philadelphia va. J. R. Flanhren. Er.
ror toP.O.
The queetion in thla eate waa whether the Re
ceiver of Texea can control the publication of the
names of delinquent taxpayer* in a greater number
of newspaper*, and for a greater number of times,
than pro viced for by an ordinance of Oounolle malt
ing an appropriation to pay therefor.
.*« appropriated for this purpose
$2,600, with this proviso: “That said advertising
shall not be done in more than two papers, nor more
than one time in each; and provided, further, that
the entire oo»t of eaid advertising shall not exeeed
eight cents per name.”
The Receiver of Taxes disregarded this proviso,
and caused the names to be advertised in three
newspapers, among these the Daily News, the bill
for wnioh, the appropriation being deficient, the city
refused to pay. Suit wae brought In the District
Court to recover, and the jury rendered a verdict for
plaintiff. The case was then taken to the Supreme
Court by writ of error.
The opinion of the majority of the court by Judge
Agnew wae at considerable length, and ooualuded
by reversing the judgment of the Dletrlot Court,
thus deciding that the aetion of the Receiver of
Taxes was Illegal, and that thq claim of Flanigen
had no foundation In law. e

There waa nothing of interest.
Albert Wlae and Charles White were arraigned at
the Central Station yesterday afternoon on the
charge of robbing the house of Mrs. Rachel Carson,
on Twelfth street, one door below Spruce, on Sun
day afternoon. The old lady who occupied the
house waa at ehureh at the time of the robbery.
The arrest of the parties may be attributed to James
Kelly, an active, well-known, and esteemed citizen,
who, under tbxeats.of being shot, secured one of the
offenders. The asme parties have been In custody
several times recently, but there was not sufficient
testimony to hardly hold them. In the police vooa
bul*ry, they are not? in that peculiar position called
•'dead to itghta.” The folio wing eridenoe wai
elicited:
Rachel OaMon, an old lady, oooupant of the houee.
testified that she was at ohuroh on Sunday after
noon : while there, her residence wae entered through
aback window, the shutters of which'were pried
open; the eum of $lOO in gold, tn a bag, was stolen;
also, about S9SInU. S. Treasury notes, and a smaller
sum in bank note*; also a gold penoll, chain, and
breast-pin were stolen. Mrs. Carton identified the
property that had been recovered.
A young man named Johnson, a soldier, of the
183 d Regiment, eald that he was standing at a street
corner; saw a man (Mr. Kelly) chasing another;
witness tried to head fugitive off; told him to stand;
fugitive partly pulled a pistol out of his pocket, and
threatened to shoot; Mr. Kelly came up and ar
rested him; a big crowd was running.
James Kelly sworn: Msjor Moore and myself,
wbile walking down Twelfth street, near Spruce,
stopped.for a moment to look around at the houses,
as the Msjor said he would like to get a email one
for his wife to live in; we were looking at the
house that was lobbed, It being eloied. thinking that
It might be to rent; presently e colored lady eame up
and said two thieves were In the house: they had
entered in the back way, having climbed over the
fence; went round to the yard, and saw two men
come out of the back door; I told the woman to go
after an cffleer; I stood guard at the gateway; one
of the young men (Albert Wise) ran out, and I gave
chase; cried stop thief; he threatened to ehotsl me;
I xtrested him, and gave him into the custody of an
offleer, who took him to' the station-house.
John Garvin (police offleer) testified that he was
standing at Broad and Bombard, street*: heard the
ery of "Stop thief;” saw a man (Chas. White) run
down Juniper street, from Pine; at Bombard street
saw him knoeh four or five persons down; he ran
out Bombard atreet; I hastened to Broad street,
and saw Urn running; I redoubled my energies, and
caught him on South atreet; he drew a billy on me,
and demanded to know what I arrested him for; I
told him to eome along; as we were walking, some
one eaid he had robbed a house; I eaid to him,
you’ve killed somebody; he replied, that he had not,
he had only robbed a house; a citizen eame up and
called my attention to the fact that the prisoner had
a greenback in his month, he sadUmoed it.
. Michael McLaughlin (police officer) testified that
be saw people running; met Mr. Kelly, having one
ortbeprisonere (Wlae) in custody; he was handed
over to me; he had eome paper money that he tried
to throw away; found a chain and breastpin on
him: found a jimmy at the house, with whioh the
windows had been pried open.
On the person of White were found a number of
skeleton keys, and the monev In gold. The prison
ers were committed in default of $2.00e-bail each to
answer.
A third party was arrested, but there being no
evidence against him be wae discharged.
Aa a prelude to the above, we may aay that the
Srisonen were taken into the Gallery-room. Detee-
Ive Galanan, upon entering, remarked, <‘Aha,
Whitey, they’ve got you at last, have they 1”
“Yes,” replied White doggedly, with an affected
■mile.
Counterfeit Flfty-eent Postage ifotts,
