t Tlie jountn’i t.f Sturday were read and approved.

C-.4.Lurrtmiogs of Philadelphia, n w i-.itroducc-i to the
. Conference by Bishop Soule, and invited ty a seat
| within the bar.
| The chair eallei for reports from Committee*.
I)r. Hamilton chairman of the Commilte on Revjsals,
■
j oTefed a report, find on motion of Dr. Boyle, the
| Chairman was allowed to withdraw it.
Dr. VV. A. Smith presented the report of the Com
j tni.-sioners in the ehnreh suit; w liieh was read, and on
| motion was referred to a select committee.
Conference then took up the report of the committee
on Missions, which had been made the cider of the
day.
The report wa# read by the Secretary, and it was
moved that the Conference proceed to fill the blank as
to where the Society should bo located.
Dr. Boring opposed the motion, on the ground that
the Society had already been loeatt J at the city of Louis
ville, Ky., and no change could he made in the Consti
tution of the Society, without the concurrence of the
Board of Managers.
Drs. Stevenson and Parsons stated that the Board of
managers had given to a committee of this Conference
plenary powers, iu reference to any change in the con
stitution, which might be deemed necessary.
Dr. Boring did not think the explanation satisfac
tory .
Dr. Stevenson further stated that a quorum of the
Board of managers were on this fieor, ami would con
cur in all necessary alterations in the constitution.
I>r. Sehon presented a paper showing the notion of
tlie Board of managers on this subject.
Dr. Boring continued, and stated that the subject hod I
been before the committee some three weeks, and this ‘
was the/irst time be had heard either of the paper ban- j
and and by Dr. Sehon, or that there was a quorum of the :
Board of managers present at this Conference. He did !
not believe the Board could delegate their powers in ref- ‘
erencc to a change in the constitution, or that a lawful
meeting of that Board could be held in the city of Col
umbus, Gu. He believe#! there was only one alternative
in the ease, which was to adopt a substitute for the re
port, and the old constitution of the Missionary Society;
and refer it to the Board of managers at Louisville, for
concurrence.
Mr. Pitts thought the views of the speaker very I
strange. He saw no difficulty iu the way, and believed j
the Conference competent to change the constitution, j
Mr. McMahon staffed that Dr. Boring, had not j
been present at the deliberations and councils of the j
Committee, in which ease lie thought the Dr. would j
have at this time enteitained different opinions. The |
committee had acted advisedly, and he thought there j
was no difficulty in the way.
Mr. Blue agreed with Dr. Boring in reference to the ;
authority of tlie Board, and thought it dangerous to give !
to a Board of managers so much power, aa was content- !
(dated by the report.
It was then moved by Mr, Hughes to fill the blank
with Nashville as the place.
Mr. McMahon nominated Louisvilie.
Mr. Harrison remarked that the Society was char
tered by the Legislature of Kentucky, which charter rec
ognized the constitution of the Society, and the mode j
by which that constitution was to be amended. He j
thought that ultimately the Society should be located
where the Rook Concern was ; but there were difficul
ties in tho way of removing the Society now. He be
lieved the proposed change of place would torfi it its j
charter.
Dr. Green regarded the Missionary Society ae the j
creature of the General Conference, and could be i
amended or altered by the Conference at any time ; be
sides the present Board had ooneurred in the projx>sed
changes. He thought the Society ought not to be re
moved during the present fiscal year.
Mr. Burton had difficulties and with his present views
could not vote to change the place of the Society.
Dr. Stevenson thought the Society and Book Con
cern should go together, and no difficulty would arrise
from a removal of the Society, provided it were prospec
tively done, and[ time given for the winding up of the
business of the present Board.
Mr. MeTyeire offered as a substitute, that the society’
be located New Orleans, There they couid procure a
charter easily and readily. He objected to the central
izing policy which seemed to be likely to prevail. In
Tennessee, they had already proposed three official pa
pers, a publishing house aud two depositories. The
central conferences had the power to do these things,
but was it kind or just ? In all the country wcet of the
Mississippi River, there were no church advantages, no
Bishop, no official paper as yet, no book concern, or
scarce any thing else. Why not then at least give the
Missionary soceiiy to some other place? He referred
to the extent of the missions in the country bordering on
Nuw Oilcans, aud showed that the larger portion of all
the colored missions aud nearly all the German missions
of the ehureh, were in States bordering on Louisiana.
Our Missionary operations would soon extend into
Mexico and South America; which in his judgment,
was a strong argument in favor of New Orleans. We
wanted r. financial centre for business of this kind, and
such was New Orleans. At that place most of our
foreign Missionaries embarked, and hereafter, it would
be more so. It was also the moat favorable point for j
Missionary antiiversaries.
Dr. Hamilton agreed with these views. This centralis- j
iug policy he thought, would work badly, and the prospects
at pescrit were, that effiot U would be made to carry the
policy to a greater extent than some might now suppose.
A large portion of the church territory and member
ship, were remote from the proposed centralization, and
could not be brought into contact with it. He hoped
that New Oilcans would be selected.
Mr. Johnson had been connected with our Missionary
operations for IT years. There were two great poiuts
of commercial cential operations within our bounds,
New Orleans and ,St. Louis; to which points oar pe- ;
rations must be directed, and it we act wist ly, we would j
either select one of these points, or at least have cs#is- j
taut Treasurers there.
Dr. Greeu wished to say a word in reference to !
Nashville. The church South, had done nothing for
Nashville; it proposed to put a publishing house there,
lie could not see what would be gained by locating at
New Orleans, if there would, let it go there or any
where tlse, where the interests of the church requir
ed it.
Mr. Rosser wished to know if the large contributions
which had been claimed for New Orleans, had not been
made by visitors ’ ll# was opposed to New Orleans,
and in favor of Louisville.
Dr. Mitchell moved that the present discussion be
stopped at 12 1-2 o’clock.
Mr. Walker offered a substitute to the effect, that
we now take tho vote, which motion prevailed. The
vote wns taken on Mr. McTyiere's substitute, which was
lost by a vote of 53 to 43.
Dr. Green then moved that the society be located
at Nashville after the 3d Monday of April 1553 ; which
motion prevailed.
Dr. Parsons then moved, that when the conference
adjourn, it adjourn to meet at 5 1-2 o’c-loc*.
Dr. Deems then moved, that the conference cow ad
journ, which motion was lost; and conference proceed
ed to the further consideration of the report of the
Mission committee. The report was read item by item.
A portion of it was adopted after some amendment* ;
3nd tho time for adjournment having arrived, confer
ence adjourned with the benediction by the Bishop.
A FTKItNOON Session.
Conference mot, Bi-hop Soule in the chair; divine
i service by Mr. UiggJ.
The joura.U of tie morn in 2 session wore read and
j approved.
j Mr. Keener moved that the vote by which the Mis
’ -nonary society was located at Nashville, be reconsider
ed. He hrietly gave his rtiLons for ihis motion. He
believed tliat there was a misapprebenson in tlie minds
of members as to the condition and ptospecta of New
Orleans. It was gradually and constantly advancing.
Other denominations were making efforts to establish
theinstlve# in that city, and we should do likewise. We
needed in this matter a financial centre, and in that
• city we might have it. There was do necessary con
j ncxion between the Missionary board find the Book
Concern. New Orleans was to he the point of emfcar
eation for our Missionaries. A line of steamers would
soon run from San Francisco to Chinn, by which route,
our connexion with tho China mission must be kept
up Ac.
Dr. Wightmau was agait)‘tthe motion to reconsider.
He sympathised with the opposition to centralization, as
a general thing, but there were exceptions, and this was
one. Unless the present programme of our Missionary
operations were changed, the joint meeting of the
Board and Bishops must take place in August, an im
proper and unsafe time for visiting New Orleans. For
this and various other reasons, be was opposed to a re- 1
consideration of the vote.
Dr. Hamilton did not suppose it really necessary j
that the meeting alluded to, should take place in the ]
| month of August.
! Mr. Walker moved to lay the motion to reconsider on ;
j the table, which prevailed, and the motion to reconsid- j
j r, was accordingly laid on the table.
Bishop Andrew presented a communication from j
j C. A. Peabody, esq., accompanied by a basket of flow- j
i ers and strawberries, and tendering to the Bishops and J
members of the conference, a polite invitation to visit his j
| strawberry plantation, and test the flavor and excellency |
:of hi* fruit. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered j
I to .Mr. Peabody for bis very beautiful present and l.is ‘
• invitation ; and it w3s icsolved to accept it on the after
i noon of Saturday next.
l)r. Wadsworth offered a resolution opnointing Tups- j
day, the 30th hist., as the day for the final adjournment
of this conference.
Dr. Wadsworth advocated and Dr. Doggett opposed
this motion.
Dr. Boj le agreed with Dr. Doggett. We had been
sent here to do the business of the eburoh, when that
| was done he was ready to adjourn, not till then.
Mr. Laughorne hoped the motion would prevail.—
|He was tired of listening to long speeches. The bust- ]
i ness might be doue by the time appointed if we weut j
at it.
The vote was taken, aud the motion fixing the time ‘
of adjournment on the 30th inst. prevailed.
Dr. W. Smith offered a resolution asking that the :
report of the committee on Boundaries be made the or- i
der of tbs day for to morrow at 3 1-2 o'clock. The
motion was lost.
Mr’ I-angborne offered a resolution in reference to
changing the discipline: I-aid on the table under the |
rule.
The conference thou resumed the consideration of the j
report of the committee on Missions, which was again
read item by item and adopted.
On motion of Dr. Parsons the conference went into j
the election of missionary officers as provided for in !
the constitution.
Dr. Parsons nominated Dr. Sehon, for Secretary, and i
Mr. Garrett nominated Mr. Keener. On baliotting Dr. !
Sehon received 74 voles, Mr. Keener 17, scattering 11. !
Dr. S. wa# accordingly elected.
W. It. Elliston, E#q., of Nashville, was nominated by ;
Dr. Green as Treasurer, sad duly elected.

On motion of Dr, Deems it was resolved that the I
delegations embraced in the several missionary districts j 1
ba requested to report to morrow morning the travel- j
ing Elders suitable to represent those districts in the j
joint meeting of the Bishops and Missionary hoard. j,
A communication from Rev. T. Stringfield in ref- j >
erenee to the Ilolston Christian Advocale, was read j.
and referred to the committee on Books and Periodicals, j
On motion adjourned.
Twentieth Day, May 23. 11
Conference met at 0 o’clock, Bishop Andrew in tlie j 1
chair ; religions exercises by Mr. Marshall.
The journals of the preceding day were read and i
approved.
Bishop Paine then took the chair.
Mr. Lee, of the Louisville conference, being sick, it j 1
was announced that l)r. Sehon would take his place. .
Mr. Riggs was announced to take tho place es Mr. 1
Pitts, who had left because of affliction.
Dr. L. Pierce, chairman of the committee on Sabbath
Schools, offered their report, which was read, and on
motion of Dr. Wadsworth, taken up resolution by reso
lution. The Ist, 2d and 3d were adopted.
Dr. Lee at this point, asked leave for the committee
on Itinerancy, of which he was chairman, to retire for
a short time, which was granted.
The consideration of the report was returned, and the 1
4th, sth and 6th resolutions were adopted. The 7th
resolution being of that character, which by the rule of
conference, should lie on the table for one day, tlie
rule was suspended and the resolution was amended
and adopted. The Sth resolution was read, arid as it
contemplated the organization of a Sunday School So
ciety, the constitution was read article by article and |
adopted.
On motion of Mr. Alexander, it was then resolved !
that the language of the discipline be conformed to the ;
provisions of the 7th article of the constitution as j
adopted.
Tlie chair then called for the order of the day, which
was the consideration of the report no. 6., of the corn- !
iniltee on Kevisal*.
The report proposed to leave the amount paid to
traveling preachers to be estimated entirely by the
Stewards of the several circuits and stations, and re- !
commended that the discipline be changed accordingly. I
The report was read, and Mr. Ralston moved that it I
be considered item by item. Dr. Hamilton, chairman !
of the committee, offered some explanations.
Dr. Winans moved that the report be recommitted j
with instructions to bring in a report making the die
eipline, as it is, the basis of all financial action in the
premises.
Dr. Drake favored the motion to recommit.
Dr. Boring was opposed to such recommitment,
thought the subject had better be met and discussed
now on its met its. Ho had serious objections to the
i law as it cow stood, and thought it ought to be changed. :
It was, as it stood, disreputable to the church. The i
people did more for the support of the ministry than !
was generally supposed : let them then have credit for j
all they did or might hereafter do, lie advocated the i
plan of the report, because it plaeed the responsibility j
where it ought to be, upon the people. Let them #ay \
how much they would give, and then have credit for |
all they did give.
Dr. VV inans regarded this as otic of the most itnpor- ■
tant questions which had or could come before this eon- i
fcrence. He understood the discipline very differently i
from Dr. Boring. He did not believe we had ever
legislated on oor salaries, except to sty, that beyond a
certain limit we would not receive any thing. If the
people had been deoctved, it had been done by injadi
cions speaking, r.et by the law. If the amounts really
| contributed to preachers on grounds separate from
j quarterage, had not been made publio, there were*rea
son*, good and substantial why it was so. Neither the
j Stewards nor preachers could Jo so modestly ; hence it
was not done. The present report would lead to an
unequal and unjust distinction among preachers; and
he hoped this conference would not put its sanction upon
such measures. It would embarrass the church,
the preachers, and especially the Bishops. Popular
men would be put into the market, and the foundations
of our itinerancy sapped ; but before it fell, there would
jbe jealousies, enmities and strife. lie did not object to
i increasing tho limits as to the amount of quarterage.
; but opposed the plan of the report, and begged it might
not be adopted.
Dr.L. Pierce would not sny much ou the subject.
; He had always respected the opinions of Dr. W., but
j could not agree with him in his views. He belicTed
j what Dr. Boring had said was literally true. It had
! long been a maxim with Methodists, to let well enough
; alone, but he thought there was nothing well enough, so
| l >ng as it could Le unproved. He did not fear that
there would be any bidding for preachers beyond what
already had been, nor would it be injurious. He be
lieved the true policy was that recommended in tlie
report, lie had been more pained by the operations of
the law as it is. To adopt the report, would not legal
ise the plan proposed, further than it had doue already.
\ He hoped, therefore, it would prevail.
I Mr. Parks thought there were two sides to this qttes-
Ition ; we should legislate for the weak, the strong could
take care of themselves. He thought the plan proposed
; would work adversely to the interests of a large, per
i haps tlie larger proportion of the preachers ; and he
j hoped no arrangements would be made to crowd out
j this class of men.
| Tho motion of Dr. Winans, together with tlie report
; were laid on the table by motion of Dr. Deems, in or
i der to hear a report from the minority of the commit
! tee. This report proposed increasing the allowance of
! the preachers by the addition of 50 per cent. On the
i motion to adopt this, Mr. Thornton advocated the min
: oritv report; he was opposed to that of the majority,
; for reasons already assigned by former speakers, and
; others of similar character—was in favor of the opposite,
j because it retained the old system, which had worked
well, and he thought would continue to work well. The
people had asked for this increase of the preachers’ \
salaries ; for this they looked, and riot for such men- j
sures as were proposed by the majority report. He j
thought in the minority report thete was safety, in the |
other, great risk.
I)r. VVhitefoord Smith rose to suggest one or two J
points which had not been touched, lie thought dis- |
j ferently from Mr. Parks in reference to the operations j
|of the plan proposed.. He thought the present ]>lan j
I operated against the support of the preachers as the
penurious would, aud did, seek cover under the disci
-1 (dine for withholding a liberal support. The matter
ought to go to the stewards, and he hoped it would.
Mr. Langhorne thought it strange that the provisions
already made in the discipline for the support of preach*
| ers had been overlooked. There the stewards were
allowed to make what estimate they pleased for the sup
port of the preachers’ family. He opposed the plan of
the majority, and approved that of the minority. On
the first, many of the preachers would be starved out.
lie opposed the plan for the same reasons named by Dr |
Winans. It would embarrass the church, and episco
pacy especially, lie opposed the plan because it would
also destroy the operations of many conferencea which
worked admirably.
Air. Evans thought the substitute of the minority ob
jectionable, because it proposed legislating a salary, lie
was iu favor of the principles of the majority report, for
the reasons others had assigned. He believed we
would be safe. Bidding for preachers, he thought,
might be done under the present as well as the pro
posed plan. Hu could see how there could be caste j 1
in the ministry under the one as well as the other.
He went for the report of the majority or the discipline |
as it is.
Mr. Caples regarded this as an important matter—
one which affected our whole interests. He thought <
the plan as it existed in the discipline oppressed no one.
Those who complained on this floor did not look as
though they had suffered much. Whenever the pre
sent provisions of the discipline were carried out preach
ers were well supported. So he believed it would be.
These complaints came from the richest portions of the
whole church. lie hoped the proposed change would
not be made.
Dr. Green thought there were difficulties on both
sides of this question. The people petitioned for an in
crease in tho preacher’s salaries,yet they did not seerndis
posed to pay any more. As to distinctions among preach- |
ers, there were such now. He held that the stewards
would be the best judges as to what ought to be allow
ed. The people ought to know that they were at lib- i
ei ty to give the preachers as much as they pleased ; j
provided, that it was understood that not less than §IOO i
for a single man should be allowed, nor less than S2OO .
for a married man, with a reasonable allowance for his
family. j
Dr. Winans made some explanations, and on motion ,
the further consideration of the subject was postponed j
until to-morrow morning. , ;
Mr. Keener offered resolutions proposing changes iu
the discipline ; referred to committee on Itinerancy. (
Mr. Hughes offered a resolution referring a subject
of inquiry to a committee ; but it \vs not referred.
The chair announced Messrs, llenkle, Keener and
Burton, committee on the report of the commissioners, j
Dr. Green offered a resolution in respect to the de- |
signation of the church. Laid on the table.

i appointments; which on motion, was referred to tho
committee on Itinerancy.
Dr. Lee presented report no. 2, from the committee
t on Itinerancy, which was read, and aftor an ineffectual
i effort to lay it on the table, it was moved that it be
I amended by referring tho matter back to tho Virginia
i Conference, as the report was in reference to 3 preacher
, who had hern located by that conference at the request
of his fi lends, the preacher himself being absent and
dissenting from the position of his friends, who asked a
