The ecumenical or universal conference of all churches belonging to the Metho dist family, which is to assemble in Lon don 011 the 7th of September next, will be an important gathering of one of the greatest religious sects in the world.

The New Yoak Commercial's Washing ton special says that a trusted friend of Senator Colliding says Conkling is utter ly indifferent as to what takes place. His resignation was made after the greatest deliberation, when everything had been carefully weighed. The recent action of the State Senate in opposing and its unverying hostility to Coukling, were not lost sight of. There was no expectation that this sentiment would be changed because the Senator had put himself in the Legislature's hands, Mr. Coukling knew his resignation would be followed by a favorable report on Rob ertson's nomination and his prompt con firmation. Still he took the step. If anyboby believes he cherished the idea that he would be rapturously re-elected by a servile Legislature, he confesses he does not understand the condition of af fairs in New York. Mr. Conklidg has taken 110 chances, and has left nothing to luck. He is wearied of the misrepresen tation and vituperation showered upon him. Conscious that he has devoted his best years to his party, to the exclusion of personal interests, and being treated with the grossest injustice of any public man of recent times, he has simply re solved to get out of public life, if the people of his State wish it, and let others look after their interests in the Senate. Mr. Conkling feels that if, after the years of service he has rendered his party he does not deserve better treatment than he has received of late, tor simply exer cising the right accorded to other Sena tors without a murmur, it is better for all concerned that he step aside. This is the Senator's true position. He has 110 expectation that his ememies in the legislature will do anything but continue to oppose him as in the past. If he should be returned, it would be grateful to bin after the treatment he has received, but Mr. Conkling will not lift a finger to effect this.
