gisptfft. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19, wAHnimroM rraii. TUN rRKSIDKXT. In conversation with a Wend a few days nnee, I 'resident Johnson remarked that it was a mistaken idea that the recent had established the fact that the coming Congress would be more radical lhan ever. The elections had indeed perpetuated the power of Confess, bnt the U1H.

elections had established the fact that the constitutional amendment could not be passed. Was it not therefore the dnty and interest of both parties to unite on middle plan that would admit the South on satisfactory to the North Although the President did not distinctly u-fer to he plan of univerml suffrage afld universal amnesty, ho wns understood to allude to it.

TbcSo amendments were suggested somo years ago in the United States Senate by Mr. Johnson whilst he was a member of that The amendment proposing the lection of President by the voters at large, the opinion of Mr. Johnson, will effectually regulate the question of suffrage within the States by making it of imperative interest that each State include as many voters as possible, and thus in proper time the franchise will be extended to the colored people. There are some who the President will discuss the universal amnesty question, and propose some action thereon Congress, but those best advised underhand that Mr. Johnson holds that under the Constitution the Executive has sole to grant amnesty and pardons, and thcreiore he will not propose action on that subject by Congress.

We assert only what we kaow when we announce the astounding feet that Napoleon, regardless of international courtesies, decided that all bis troops should remain In Mexico to strengthen the Austrian usurper, Maximilian, without notifying the Government of the United 8tates of his intention. Upon learning officially the purpose of the French Emperor, an earnest protest against his action was forwarded to him through our Minister at the French Court, which will afford sufficient evidence to the Americas people of the promptness of the President and Secretary of State in. indi. eating the displeasure of this Government at so groes an act of Impropriety as that committed by the French Emperor, and their determination to demand FrowOvtpMUl vxMim itmwir COVFEftlVCt SIXTH DAT.

Adopted. Rev. W. W. Bennett, from the Publishing Committee, made a report on matters referred to them, and propose that D'Arcy Panl, R.

M. Smith, and Robert J. Christian be appointed a committee to establish an agency in the city of Richmond. They also recommend that the Christian Advocate be committed to individual management and responsibility, with all its good will, and that the Rev. W.

W. Bennett be appointed by the Bishop to take charge of it. They also recommend that Revs. W. W.

Bennett and James A. Duncan close the business of the paper under its former management. They pay a high compliment to Rev. J. A.

Duncan, its former editor, for his gratuitous work of four years in the editorial chair, and the interest which he has taken in its behalf. The report from the Sunday School Committee shows that much has been done in this department. They have aided, during the past fifteen months, 900 schools within the bounds of this Conference. The question of the change of ownership of the Advocate gave rise to much discussion, which was partioijwited in by Messrs. Bennett, Whitehead, Ilead, Duncan, Cowles, Drs.

Lee and Nollcy, the latter of whom moved that the roll be now called, and each member answer to his name, stating how much money he will become personally responsible for, to enable the debts due by the paper to be paid off before its management passes from under the control ol' the Conference. About $1,500 was subscribed among the ministers present. The Rev. J. A.

Duncan pledged himself for $200. On motion of Rev. W. II. Christian, Messrs.

Bennett and Duncan were appointed a committee to collect any additional amount that may bo necessary to liquidate the debt. Dr. William A. Smith introduced Colonel Thomas C. Johnson, President of Randolph Macon College, and was happy, in resigning his charge, to know that it fell into such good hands and the more so because Colonel Johnson was a graduate of this institution, having completed his studies there in 1842.

Colonel Johnson responded, remarking that he had certainly been introduced to the Conference by Dr. Smith in kinder terms than his merits deserved. Since receiving notification of his election to the presidency of Randolph Macon College he bad been incessantly laboring for three weeks so as ta arrange to meet the Conference. He was now happy to stand before them. He could say with truth that in accepting the position offered he had been guided by no selfish motives.

In a money point of view, he could make more by pursuing his avocation as a lawyer than he can as president of a college. He had now arrived at that age when ho felt it his duty to try and lay up treasure in heaven, and ho thought he would be doing so in educating the young men of the country. In conducting the affairs of this institution he asked the hearty cooperation of the men of this Conference. Randolph Macon is a child of the Virginia Conference. He saw around him some of the men who laid its foundation.

You know, gentlemen, What masters laid its keel What workmen formed Its ribs of steel Who made each most, and sail, and rope. What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge, with heat, Was shaped this anchor of your hope. This child of yours has furnished you preachers, bishops, teachers, professors, representatives at the bar, on the beftch, and in legislative halls. For the last twenty-four years I have met the graduates of this college In the West and in the Sonth, and I hare always found them to be gentlemen, and nearly all active Christian men. She has well repaid all your care and trouble, and now that her fortunes have been impaired by the war, she Is none the less your child, and rather deserves your sympathy and support now than ever before.

As a representative of the faculty, I must ask this Conference to solicit in behalf of the college the support of the Baltimore Conference. Under the auspices of these two Conferences I do not donbt that we shall revive its fortunes and once more establish its usefulness. Raised and educated in this State, I moved to the West nearly a quarter of century ago, so that I am in all essentials a western man bnt I have come back to take my position among you once more as a citizen of Virginia, on the invitation of my old mother, to guide her fortunes. And, in retiring from yoor presence, permit me to ssk the kindly sympathy and assistance of every man and woman before me belonging to this polished and enlightened State. Bishop Doggett (who bad previously taken the chair) remarked that it was a happy chanoe that ha should be the this time.

He was chaplain at the college when Colonel Johnson graduated, and he had never parted with a student with more regret. Rev. W. McGoe, fraternal messenger from the Methodist Protestant Church, appeared the stand, and said he bore the fraternal greetings of his. brethren to this Oeofbrenice.

His denomination were JfeOuxAsU. "There 'was do difference beend trouhCe. Thai bister? befemgs to the peel; bit better days have dawned upon tut He pipe of peaoe ta bow smoked camn-flrea." Those relations were originated In 1867, in bis own Conference, nod wo were welcomed forward by your Conference in 1859 with every expression of lore end fraternity. In the origin of that fraternal relation we did not suppose there would be any propositlbn for a reilnion. Tonr Conference proposed it, and we responded to it bnt though the light lias been breaking in the distance, the common ground has not yet been found.

We want no schism in our Church. Our desire is to move altogether and we are endeavoring to bring all our people to one mind in the matter, and with great hopes of success. We are essentially one in the belief of the common doctrines and usages of Methodism we are one in name, as in heart and aim. Dr. Lee made a suitablo response.

Dr. Smith moved that one or more members of this Conference be appointed to the Virginia Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church as fraternal messengers, and bear to them our cordial Christian greetings, and to whom should be committed the subject of a closer union between the two bodies. Adopted. Rev. W.

W. Bennett and the stationed minister at Granby-street church were appointed. Rev. W. W.

Bennett moved the appoint, ment of a fraternal messenger to confer with the members of the Christian Church with a view to reunion between the two societies. Adopted. Rev. Robert 0. Button was appointed messenger.

Rev. Robert O. Burton asked leave of I absence and permission to give his vote in advance on the change of name and lay representation. Granted. Rev.

J. R. Finley asked for re'admission. I Grartcd. On motion, the report of the Committee on Memoirs was made the order of the day for 11 o'clock to-morrow.

RELIEF SOCIETY OP THE VIRGINIA CONFERENCE. Bishop Doggett vacated the chair for a few moments to allow tho Relief Society of the Virginia Conference, Dr. Smith make its annual report. The report of the treasurer shows a balance in hand of 94,125 of capital stock, and a com. mittee was ordered to attend to the distribution of the proceeds of the year.

The election of officers being in order, Rev. Nelson Head was unanimously elected president, Rev. B.H. Cowles treasurer, and Rev. P.

A. Peterson secretary. The Society then adjourned. THE CONFERENCE AGAIN. Bishop Doggett resumed the chair.

Rev. Mr. Judkins moved that the report of the Publishing Commttiee be adopted as a whole. The motion was adopted. On further motion, the presiding Bishop was requested to appoint Rev.

W. W. Bennett as editor of the Christian Advocate for the ensuing year. Rev. N.

Ilead asked leaves of absence for Revs. WiUiam G. Cross and George II. Ray, and that they be allowed to leave their votes on certain questions. Granted.

Rev. Mr. Cowles stated that the Rev. William Coulling being very ill, requested a special interest in the prayers of the Conference. He then moved that the Conference should now spend a few moments in prayer for the afflicted brother.

Adopted. Bishop Early very impressively led the Conference in an invocation for the relief of the afflicted brother. At its conclusion the Conference united in singing that beautiful hymn of Moore's Come ye disconsolate wliere'r you languish." After benediction, the Conference adjourned to meet to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. H. IRON AND BRASS FOUNDRIES.

Noefolk, November In the Episcopal Methodist Conference to-day, (1 use the new name,) the recommendations of the General Conference held in New Orleans last winter in regard to a change in the form of government so as to admit lay members into the ruling bodies of the Church, and in regard to a change of the name of the Chnrch, were both ratified so far as this Conference caa do it.

I learn that every Annnal Conference which has been held up to this time has taken the same course. The former change will probably add a large number of Methodist Protestants to the Chnrch and the latter, by dispensing with thesufflx "South," will relieve the ministers and members of the Church in Maryland, Kentucky, West Virginia, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, and perhaps other States, of the odium which attaches to a sectional or political designation of an ecclesiastical body. It is proper to add that some of the ablest members of the Conference opposed this action. The appointmente have not yet been announced by the Bishop, but I have reason to believe he has made them, and only waits, according to custom, for the end of the session to make them public. II.
