The committee in reply to (14-inferences reported.
In hivor of appointing' two delegates. to visit the
'Wesleyan Methodist Conference of England, and

Conference M'Conada. Agreed to.
The Committee on Missions were instructed to
Inquire into the expediency of appointing a week of
prayer:
A resolution wa= p ri ced "S"inst eheerinF . or
Sialliping during the deliberations of the Con
ference.
The report of the Committee on Rituals was
taken up, rotating to the form Or receivina• Mein
hers into full communion with the Church. the lay
ing of a corner-stone, and the dedication _of a
clinroh.
After mature deliberation the committee ottani-
Measly agreed to recommend the adoption of these
forms.
The Rev. Dr. Olark
,advoeated the passage of the
report and the adoption of these forms.
Th e boy. Owen, of California. moved to amend
by striking out the word " Holy Ghost" and insert
ing "Holy Spirit." The amendment was laid upon
the table.
Rev. illv. Peleher, of Michigan, was opposed to
the form for the reception or members, as it attaches
to it too muck Ili nett'. There seemed to him in
these forms for the laying of corner-stones and the
dedication of churches a superstitious reverence for
)'mall things.
Rev. Mr. Coles, of lowa, was in favor Of these
forms. He wanted the people to know and feel
that there is an importance in these forms, and a
ilifferened between the sanetity of a eonseerated
Muse and a common hall. He had no supersti
tions feeling, but he was in favor of order and SO
/emnity in all the institutions of religion.
Fey. A. S. racuoy, of Illinois, was in favor of an
rthridgemett of the proposed forms.
Rev. Col Moody approved of the report of the
committee in toto, because he is a Methodist.
This name was given to John Wesley because he
did everything by method. This report is in ite
cordanee with the genius of Methodism. Is the
reception of members into the body of Christ a
trifle? Is the laying of corner-stones, or the dedi
cation of churches, a minor matter'? These are great
l'oots which. are epoelts in the position of the
Church.
- . .
Rev. Mr. Jervis thought there was an importance
and solemnity in these events which ought to he im
pressed upon the mind, and he was in favor of the
ritual reported by the committee.
Rev. Dr. Hibbard repudiated the idea S formf the
;speakers had advanced, that, if those are
adopted, they will take the liberty of extemporizing
a form to suit themselves. • Ile thought such lan
guage unworthy of this body. to be published and go
out to the world. Let us maintain these forms, if
Adopted.
The previous question was ordered, after whieh
the vote upon the report was taken. when it was
adopted by a unanimous vote, and the Methodist
liraseopal Church is thus placed in possession of a
Tittull for these services.

thus showing the disposition of the Conference
to tolerate not only fair report, but also to allow
reasonable criticism upon their actions. The ob.
jettionalAe reference was a, note in the report of
yesterday, saying: "Such wire-pulling might be
possibly excusable among politicians, but can never
be considered commendable among men who profess
to deal justly, to walk humbly," etc, This condo
.ion is arrived at as the result of the previous
,entence of- the same paragraph, which said that
" Great confusion: prevailed in consequence of this
- very singular disposition to stave off a fair investi
-glition, and thus defeat the ends of justice) , We
ihought we were right in making short work of a
criticism we hod the privilege of lengthening con
aiderably, and feel highly complimented by the fair
and judicious vote of the Conference, without one
Vera by way of explanation or defence on our part.
Rev. Willis R. Revels, from the Committee on Re
visals. reported progress. The report was received
and adopted by sections..
Some idea of the general appearance of this Con-
Terence, whose reports have appeared daily in The
_Press, may be gleaned from a report made through
the columns of the Daily Chrtstion. Advocate of yes
terday:
We cannot better express the impression made
upon us by the African General Conference than by
quoting the language of "Invisible Black," a cor
respondent of the Christian Herald :
' Taking my position where I could survey the
whole field of ministers before me, I was struck with
nstonishteent at the variety of expression exhibited
on the countenance, of the members present. Very
few of the members are past the prime of life, and in
fact nearly all may be said to be young men, full of
the fire of youth, and whose general appearance be
speaks more than ordinary intelligence. Many of
them are genteel in their dress, and some few are
Even fashionably dressed. They all have the ap
pearance of having lived well, and having been well
cured for by the flocks over which they have been
nppointe4to preside.,,
A member of the General Conference announced
that the delegation from the M. E. General Confer
ence was in waiting, and Revs. M. M. Clerk: and
henry Davis were deputed to receive them, and re
tired for that purpose. In a few minutes they re
turned. followed by the delegates, who were by
them introduced individually to the President,
Bishop Payne. The Bishop then said, addressing
the Conference :
Brethren, 1 have now the pleasure of introducing
to you these brethren, delegates from the General
Conference of the M. E. Church. They represent
tile of the most venerable bodies of Christians on
the American continent—venerable for their anti
quitvfor they are among the oldegt, and di,tin
guislied for their intelligence, for their efforts to
Epread Christian knowledge and Christian holiness
all over these lands—for their activity in the OF.-
blighnient of miselon in the four-quarter of the.
'globe: in Europe, in Africa, in Asia as well as in
the :American continent itself: They have come
from that venerable body of which we are a natural

that an attempt had been made to blow the fireproof

These Bonds are Issued under the Act of Congress of
march 6th, 1604, which 4,4 a1l 11 A
Provides that Bonds issue d
this Act - shall De EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by
or under any State or municipal authority. Subscrip
tions to these Bonds are received in United States notes,
or Mites of National Banks. They are TO BE RE
DEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government,
at any period not Loos than ten nor more than forty
yeard from their date, and until their redemption FIVE
PER - CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on
Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually, and
on all other Bonds semi-annually. The interest is
payable on the tirst days of March and September in
each year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon
Bonds, as they may prefer_ Registered Rends are re
corded on the bOoks of the U. S. Treasurer, and can be
transferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds
aro payable to bearer, and are more conyonient for
commercial uses.
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having
their Bonds draw interest from March lot, by paying
the accrued interest in coin (or in United States notes,
or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty Der cent.
for premium), or receive them drawing interest from
the date of subscription and deposit. As these Bonds
are
Pv7-mu.77m7=-m3=7.wzm=l
their value is increased from oue to three per cent. per
annuin, according to the rate of tax levies in various
Darts of tb.o country_
At the present rate of premium on gold they Pay
in currency, and are of equal convenience as a perma
nent or temporary investment.
It is Wowed that no securities offer so great induce•
meets to lenders as the various descriptions of U.S.
Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness the faith. or
ability or private parties, or stock companies, oroepa
rate communities, only is pledged for payment, while
for the debts of the United States the whole property of
the country is holden to secure the Payment of both
principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from Sao
up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thue
made equally available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at
any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the
interest.
It may be useful to state in this connection that the
total Funded Debt of tho United States on which interest
is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March. 1864, was
WE:8,965,000. The interest on this debt for the coming
fiscal year will be 445,937,126, while the customs reve
nue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June 30th.
1864, has been so far at the rate of over $100,000,000 per
annum.
It wilt be seen that
even the present gold revenues of
the Government are largely in excess of the wants of
the Treasury for the payment of gold interest, while the
recent increase of the tariff- Will doubtless raise the an
nual receipts from customs on the same amount of im
portations to $150,000,000 per annum.

agents were not issued until March 20, bat the amount
