The Committee on the Plan and Trusteeship of the General Conference reported in favor of ap pointing a board of trustees, composed of laymen and ministers, not less than five nor more than nine, whose duty it shall be to hold in trust all do nations, grants, &c., made to the Methodist Epis copal Church, and not specially directed, said board to be located at Cincinnati, Ohio. Laid over. THE W1:51'.01.N 3tissioNs, Rev. H. C. Benson. of the California Conference, Offered a resolution for the appointment of a second assistant se,retarY, to reside on the FFICiEI.O coast, and to report to the secretary of the Ati.ohtary .*"o -clay, at New York. Ittr. Benson said that they had no one west of the Reeky Alountains to take charge of the missionary work_ We have in that territory, as far as can be ascertained, about two hundred thousand heathen population, composed of Chinese, Indians, &e. Them are doors opening for missionary work among these people_ It was not generally known that hea then temples wore being erected anti sacrifices of fered right in their midst. They thought the Church should be thoroughly-posted in regard to the great want in this part of the work. There ought to be a corresponding, missionary secretary residing on the Pacific coast. We believe that he would not only be successful in increasing missionary collections, but be able to plant the Church of Christ in this sec tion of the country. The Rev. Dr. Durbin contended that the want of the heathen on the Pacific coast is nut a secretary, but missionaries. A missionary secretary cannot do the work needed; it cannot be made his work to ap point- missionaries,. that belongs to the bishops; therefore there is no necessity for the appointment. The Missionary Board at New York cheerfully make appropriations for the Pacific coast. The hishOps visit the Conferences on that- coast, and keep a Journal or such items as come to their know ledge from their interviews with the presiding^ elders and other Wise, and this information is fur 3d,bed to the Illissionary Board, and upon that in formation the board acts in its appropriations. The ,-,rplications from the Pacific coast have never been relesed ; the aid they have asked has always been fliwded.. Ilev. T. 11. Pearne, of Oregon, stated that the de legation from the Pacific coast had not been heard by the alission Committee. Be wanted to have the opportunity of getting material filets before the body before any vote upon the question is taken. lle therefore moved that the resolution be made the order of to-morrow, after the report of the Commit tee on Slavery is disposed of, which was carried. APPEALS. The Committee cmAreais report that in the ease of Ne v . N. hIcA ee, referred to them, they - f ind it to be a case in which the General Conference has no jurisdiction, and they, therefore, send the matter back to the Pittsburg Conference, of which he is a member. In the case of Rev. W. H. Sheets, of S. E. In diana Conference, they reverse the decision of the fjouthrence which ex - pellea him. The case of Mr. McAbee was referred back to the committee on account of informality in the report. SERMON BY AN V.:NaLIAR DELIMATE. The order of the day was now taken up, viz! A sermon by the Re-v. W. L. Thornton, one of the delegates from n frnm ng t a h n e a _E p n r g a lp. e , h r, Conference. 17 e v e n r c e e n . gentleman Selected ILLS text from the 10th chapter of Luke, ISth Terse : "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." It is by man's guilty concurrence, said 31r. Thornton, that the power of Satan is confirmed. All experience and all the convictions of man con fess that Satan often rules. This world is the bat tle-ground, and the eyes of the universe are fixed upon us. We take stand here and affirm that God intends to bring light even out of this darkness. Not one in the universe does Satan hate as lie hates the Redeemer of mankind. Let us then study the words of the text_ First. We trace the primary re ference of these words. We often Said that God is able and willing to do for us all that we ask. The disciples were sent out to do their deeds of- good in liis name, when devils feared and tied away. He found in Matthew where the sick, maimed, and those possessed with devils were brought to Christ, and Re healed them. What an example of Satanic power and malice—what lie would do if he were not chained! What 'a world of sorrow he would make this. Here is an instance of his power, and a proof that there are spirits and an invisible, power. That he had power not only over matter Pot over mind. To be defeated there, to see his poor, tor tured victims snatched from his grasp, oh, Satan ! -chat, fail was there! Reverend fathers, you wield a power higher than the statesman—your power is the pulpit, - through which many soul; may he saved. When the apostles went out, they coveted no power, no honor ; they went in the name ef their master, without spear or lance, and tilled the world with their doctrines. The preaching of the Gospel shall never lose its power ; never may the pulpit become the mere ve hicle of lecturing. The Redeemer gave power to his apostles over serpents and scorpions, and nothing whatever should hurt them. This was a mere be g-limiter of Christ's victory. Never let it be forgot ten that Jesus triumphs over all that it is bad ; but that work could never be accomplished without the dethronement of Satan_ How does Christ over. throw Satan 7 First of all by disclosing hiS aims and his past history. It is in the New Testament that we are taught how to meet him. He is a mur derer and a liar from the beginning. There is an actual limitation to Satan's power. He cannot reign in an element of lore and liberty and light. Where light is he cannot be. Wherever the Gospel comes the power of Satan is limited. Where are witchcraft, sorcery, &c. I Not, where the Gospel is found. Turning menfrom darkness to light is to bring them from the power of Satan to God- Christ says, this moment, all things are ready ; and how Satan exults when he keeps the sinner back from Christ ! There arc succor and. solace provided for the tempted. Christ has trodden the same path—has been tempted. and his sympathy is great ibr us. He knows all ahout us from his experience, and he pities our condition. Satan is a terrible enemy, but he is not omnipotent. If we fight him in our Illaster , s strength we shall conquer. May Satan fall like lightning from Heaven—may the light of God spread and appal sinners, and may they be Morn again. The morning, exercises concluded with singing of an appropriate hymn, after which Conference ad journed. A. BC E. General Conference. THLRTEENTEI DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Conference met pursuant to adjournment, Bishop Quinn in the chair. Opened with devotional exer- Cises. The roll wits called, and the minutes read for ap. proval_ Bishop Nazrey wished to make some remarks in regard to certain corrections of the minutes. Bev. Charles Buret said he was not willinK to hear any remarks just now. This was not the time for these remarks. The Bishop said he would claim the right to be heard on the question he referred to. The motion that the minutes stand approved was then earned. Rev. Henry Jackson claimed that the first busi .tiess in order was the case of Rev. Jones, lIS a mo tion for his expulsion stand§ recorded among the unfinished business. Rev. Wm. A_ Dove objeeted, and claimed that the ease could not be taken up without a motion to that effect. Rev. Henry Jackson claimed that it came now in order, under the rules, as unfinished business. He was supported m this opinion by Rev. John Peck and others. Rev. Wm. A. Dove then moved that the case of Rev. Wm. H. Jones be now taken up. Carried. Rev. Charles. Burch moved that the.further con sideration of the case of Rev_ Wirt. H. Jones is in expedient. Rev. John Peek contended that this question should be at once carefully considered and settled. He had no personal feeling's or motives to serve in pressing this question; but Rev, Jones stands here charged by the committee, in the language of their report, which has been adopted by the Conference, as guilty of " forgery," and it was due to every member of the Conference, and to Elder Jones him self, that the matter have a fair and honorable set tlement. Were he in Mr. Jones , place, he would spurn the idea of thus dodging the issue. - Rev-Wm. A. Dore moved to indefinitely postpone the further consideration of the question. 'Not en tertained. - Rev. Dove then proceeded so show that this ques tion of expulsion did not belong here, and ought not to be entertained; no good could come of it, and he hoped it would not be entertained, and that the mo tiou of Rev. Merle, itureh should prevail ; if not, we should do injury to ourselves, and also injury to innocent people in Canada. Rev. Charles Burch said that when the motion to expel - Rey. Jones was offered he wss in favor of it, and he did not now think Rev. Jones was any less the Cause of Bishop Nazrey's name being used as charged in the report ; but he thought, after due de liberation upon the subject, that it was natter not to press the question further in this Conference. The motion of Rev. Burch, that the farther con sideration of the case of Rev. W. H. Jones is inex pedient, was then put and carried. A motion prevailed that Conference proeeed to prayer before entering upon the order of the day, viz : the election of bishops. The religious exercises were conducted by Bishop Payne. Revs. Stephen Smith, John Turner, and Leonard Patterson were appointed tellers. On the first ballot Rev. A.lV.Wayinan received 84 - votes, Rev. .1. P. Campbell 40, and. Rev. James A. Shorter ar. As it required a majority of all the votes cast to elect, Rev. A. W. Wayman was the only person elected by this ballot, and the Conference proceeded to a second ballot. The second ballot went on very spiritedly, and re .sulted as follows Rev. T. P. Campbell received 32 votes, and Rev „Tames A. Shorter received 39 votes. The tellers then declared the choice of Revs. A. W. Wayman and 1 P. Campbell as the duly-elect ed bishops. Much satisfaction was manifested by the audience present, on the announcement of the above result, and during a recess of fifteen min utes many persons pressed around the successful candidates, to offer them congratulations, &e. On calling the house to order the Committee on Revi sion of Discipline continued their report till the hour of adjournment. These gentlemen enter upon, their new office with brilliant and favorable prospects. The broad piling of the West and the vast fields of the South, open ing up their rich and verdant soil to the ploughshare of an honest and unadulterated gospel, invite their coming feet, and they, earnest in their advocacy of the principles taught by the Redeemer whom they nerve, cannot but rush into a service so essential, so elevating, and so glorious. Beside this, a Church of - more than 40,000 members earnestly pray for their success in all their spiritual and temporal efforts in the exercise of their episcopal relations to the Church. The history of our Church, already glorious, will now double itself in its achievements for the redemption of the long neglected children of our race. Bishops Quinn and Payne have now earnest and well-quali fied men as associates In bearing the heat and bur den of the day. Bishop Nazrey, as we understand; has determined to remove hit relation as officiating Bishop from the United States to Canada, to superin tend that branch of the Church. It is the hope of all that the spirit Of righteousness and of love the CfLUIPt of God and man may g.overn all their ac tions and crown all their efforts with success. At two o'clock the Conference adjourned to meet this morning at 9 o'clock. BOARD OF Sult - VEYS.—The meeting of the Board of Surveys was held yesterday morning.

Several witnesses were ex amined, after which the jury adjourned over until half past 12 o'clock to-morrow, THE. POLICE. [Before Mr. Alderman White.] Riot on Sunday Afternoon. Five eolored men, named John Gardner, John Simp son, Sewall Moore, Samuel Emerson, and Joseph Wrlght were arraigned before the police magistrate of the Fifth ward yesterday on the charge of riot and car rying concealed deadly weapons. It seems that a riot took place, in the vicinity of Seventh and Pine streets, between a number of men, white and black, about six o'clock on Sunday afternoon. What gave rise to the melee was not exactly developed at the hearing. The riot, however, was short, sharp, and decisive, requir ing all the reserves of police of the Fifth ward to sub due it. . . . Officer _Ferguson was badly beaten, and several pri soners were rescued. While the riot was progressing, William Collins, residing at ft Pine street, was ap proaching his home, after having, taken a trip to Glou cester Point, N. J. It was in evidence that j net as he had caught hold of the knob of his door to get into the house he was attacked by two of the rioters, one of whom used a billy and the other a razor. Mr. Collins was cut about the head. Re was taken to the hospital, but was sufficiently recovered to leave that institu tion yesterday morning. The prisoners were bound over in the sum of $BOO each to answer the charge of riot and carrying concealed deadly weapons. Larceny of a Pocket-Book. • Quite a dashing looking woman, giving the name of :Vary King, was arraigned yesterday afternoon on the charge of ctealing a pocket-book containing the sum of 16.50, the property of Owen Clark. It seems from the evidence that Owen stopped at a public house on Lom bard street, near . Sixth, and obtained refreshments. He pulled out his pocket-book to pay the debt he had in curred, wherenpon,it is alleged, the accused snatched it from him and fled. The result was an impromptu trial of speed down the street, when suddenly she turned upon her pursuer and made sundry pugilistic demon strations. 1"eop e" i • generally thought the - parties were husband and wife, and seemed disposed not to interfere. Apolice officer was speedily in attendance, and upon acquaint ing himself of the facts, arrested the female and reef,- ,ered the took and money_ She as hoand over in the sum of WO to answer at court. • [Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.) - Unprovoked Outrage. Daniel Rener and Dennis Brrickson were arraigned on the charge of knocking duwn and brutally kicking a colored man. It seems that he was rolling a barrel from a store on Delaware avenue, near Market street. The defendants were passing by at the time, It is al leged that one of them knocked him down and the other kicked him. The prisoners were bound over to answer at court. upon one of them was found a billy. The additional charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon Wag preferred anima lam Enforcing the Ordinances. • Kr.
