EVENING session.
Conference, alter a recess from half-past 13 m.,
until 3Jtf o’clock, resumed* its session with impres
sive exercises, conducted by Rev. Geo. R Eram r.
The Judiciary Committee, through their Chair
man, announced their readiness. The report read
contained the announcement that after a careful in-
vestigstloa of tho -.barges preferred by Dr. Tbos. S.
Powell against Rev. Jesse Boring, to tho charge of
fraud— tpeciflcalions not sustained.
3d. Charge: Gross injustice and oppression —
Specifications—not sustained.
3d. Cha-ge: Libel — not sustained. Committee
found a unanimous verdict of not guilty, and recom
mend that h's character do pass. The report was
received and adopted, and the upright and chris-
danlv character of Dr. Boring was sustained by the
Conference.
Dr. Boring entered and adi reBsed the Conference.
He thanked them for their klnduess in granting him
an investigation, lt was the first charge ever pre-
farred against him. He bad gone through a pro
tracted trial and investigation, with . crippled brain
and a crippled body. On this day he was sixty-fi'-e
years of age, and lt was a coincidence that the anni
versary of his birth should be the same v-ay on
whicn he had been so unanimously acquitted ot
these grave charges.
It Ua.l niadu u striking impression on his mind.
*He referred to hie connection with the “Orphans’
Home"—his desire to see it aucceed—yet he had to
see his hopes of aiding it crtuh-sd by ill health.—
"Now," said the venerable gmtlcman, in a voic&
tremulous with emutien, “I am about to make a
request from which I shrink—rather would i under
go again this protracted trial fifty times over—than
to make this request. I desire this Conference to
place me upon its superanuated list"
The request was granted.
Robt. A. Seale asked t'v and was placed on the
Superanuated list.
In answer to tho question "Where shall the nr-xt
Conference be held," Rev. F. A. Kimbell placed the
claims of Cartersville before the Conference. Rev.
H. J. Adams advanced the claims of hewnan—no
other places being nominated. The vote was taken
by a rising vote. Newnan receiving ihe highest
vote, the ne t Conference will be held in that city.

to the railroads for tneir customary accommoda
tions in granting us reduced rates; to tho various

Rev. Mr.Rush, of bt Louis. Mo., addressed the
Conference in regard to the Southern Qus-terly Re
view, urging tha claims of this able Church period
ical. He expressed his personal pleasure at tne ex
ceedingly cordial treatment he had received at the
hands of Geo gians. He hoped to meet some of the
brethren in Missouri wheie he would guarantee a
cordial recognition.
The following gentlemen were appointed visitors
to the respective Colleges:
Emory College—Di. A. G. Haygood, Rev. W F.

Bishop Marvin, before the rending of the appoint*
ments, made a short yet feeling and impressive ad
dress to the Conference. He had been greatly re
joiced at the feeling of brotherly love exhibited on
the part of the members of tho North Georgia Con
ference. Independent and open in the expression
of their cpicions—st : ll a courtesy had marked ail
their discussions—which gratified him ex
ceedingly. In referenc to the appeintments, he
had endeavoied to adapt them to the
situations of those to fill them. It had been a great
responsibility. He had piobably made mistakes,
Lnt this was uot the result ol carelessness, haste
or indifference. He believed that a controlling in
fluence wm exerted by an all wise providence which
conll make the errors of mankind to eventually
redound to His own glory and power. Cases had
been known where an appointee being disappointed
ana dissatisfied with his position was afterw rds
assured that it was the very best thing that conld
have happened to him. Too often perhaps did a
doubt come upon tha minds of those engaged in
the cause of the Master, when it became a struggle
to support and provide for the wants of * family.
This wm natural, prompted by a love for those near
and dear. Then, too, came the solemn thought that
