Thus Btory u 1.1 feet pitch in the clear anJ is a magnificent hall for the parpo&e.

The onlyciiti cism of his Voorhees' speech which he had seen m the pros wa.s that he had galvanized a c.dps.-. He disclaimed any purpose of that kind. He had made no attack upon him but upon the Republican par tv. He regarded the Senator Irom Kan sis as the mot biilliant and capable man u:i h; side of the chamber and as elevated to its highest posUimi. Consequently when he listened t-his astonishing, amazing and extraordinary speech nl the sixth of March, he had passed him by. but he had ar raigned the party ol winch he had beeu made the leader because no member of it in either house had disclaimed Ins terrible assaults on the most brilliant names in Ameri can history, lie proceeded to com pare.

It was too late for of tin" Senator to ilead that hv h.ul only spoken ot .Met lellati and Han cock as allies of tho Confederacy in their civil capacity. He had charged McCielllan with endeavor ing to make .the war a failure. H'-l'erring to attacks upon the peo ple ot the boiuh, he said that the Senator from Kansas might war on such people, but the end would be their triumph and his defeat. Ap pl.UIe. Ni r. lng.ills reiened again to the 'initiations he had made frTi: Mv. 'oorhees' sjieeche.s. Mr. Voorhees asserted that imt one word or syllable road by the Senator was .true or believed to be true in Indiana. The accusation had been trampled under font. The Senator's insinuation that he 1 Voor hees 1 had ever been a member of a political secret soeiety-K of Golden Circle was so base and i.ifamousiv false that he did not know how to choose language to denounce it as such. This caused a sensation in the galleries, and manifestation of ap probation and approval, mid the sergeant at arms was directed to place under arrest any nfs,in t here after violating the rule ot he Senate A ft er some fu rt her rem at ks by 1 n galls. Mr. Voorhees said: The Sena tor :s a great liar; a great liar and a dirty dog. That is all the answer I have to make, and I pass it back to the scoundrel behind the Senator who is instigatingthese lies. (This remark was made in reference to Representative .Johnston, of Indi ana, who wa.s seated at a desk directly in rear of Ingalls. 1 1 ng ills referred to a certilicate he had read signed by citizens of Sullivan county, Indiana, asserting that they had heard the speech from whii h he 1 Ingalls had ijuoted, and said there wim a very reputable gentleman in the chamber, a citi.en of Indiana, '-who informs me that the signers of that certificate are entirely reputable inhabitants of Indiana, and that he knows fifty people who heard the Senator." Voorhees Tell him I say he is an infamous scoundrel and a liar. Tell him I sav so. Mr. Kustis, of L.L, said he simply rose to protest against the great freedom and license with which the Senator from Kansas had seen fit to discuss the election which had lately takenjplace in Louisann. He was aware that great allowance must be made for that Senator. The Senator's speech reminded him of a conversation he had over-heard yesterday between two ladies. ( ne of them hail said seriously to the other: "What a great place Wash in; on is ior amusement: . 1 ust iiiink- of it. We have Ingalls, the eireu.- and the races an in the- same week, Laughter.) Mr. Ingalls responded to the speech 01 .Mr. ooriiees aua saui that no one was more conscious than he of the duty which he owed to his country ami of his un paid obligations of gratitude to those who bad done what he under other circumstances might have done.

Bishop Moore then lined the hymn: "Comfort, ye ministers of grace. Comfort the people of your Lord." which was volumed w an lervent rci-i- 0dy in praise. Bishop Jones then ad In. used ii.,. con- ference as follows: over us. the care with which He has preserved us and the unusual success with which He has crowned our humble elTorts. It is a remarkable coincident, when we rellect that we held our last session of the general c inference in the mother church in the North, old Z:on. in the city of New York. Today we convene in this beautiful editlce of the elder daughter of our Zion in the South. We meet in this the eighteenth quad rennial session of the Z.on we love: no: so much to congratulate ourselves on the victories we have achieved, though these are matters of congratulation : not to boast of cur increased facilities of connectional progress, numerous as they are; but we are gathered from the E .st and the West and the North and the far South to mature the best plans of which our wisdom is capable, for the advance ment of Zion's interest in every res pect, morally, spiritually, mentally and materially linn convened and thus in I'.uenee i . let 'as hope tint our personal preference, our personal ambition may be lost in the mutual, the nobler and lhe grander ambition te subserve the brst interests of the church of our choice regardless of all favorite measures and aiiKP regardless oi an iavorne men. This is to me or to my mind the pivotal conference that must determine as clearly as conference action can deter mine the future of the church under its Control. What sh ill be i;s probable future, in my opinion, the r.etion of this session is des'.iti'-, 1 t i fore shadow as the action of no general conference has heretofore over fore shadowed the future of our progr, 8 for years to come. Whether the marvel ous success that has attended us during the last six years in apite of formidable hindrances now past, and as we h p never to return, shall continue, or whether it shall rece i ve a s ud d en c ht c 1; . depends largely up, n the wCdo-vi i folly of our actions m tl-os Ij-iy. Heaven guide un Possibly w-e may not be bies:a d with mi -h a sprinkling of age and x p Tience in any subsequent general conference, or any subsequent session of tins body, the hoary hairs are hecming less in number as time roils on. an. i od age will be sought in vain in coming gener ations. Let us utili.e it to the best ad vantage since we shall not have it 1 ng: and now m tn memory of the SlVeet but solemn galaxy of Chris ti.iii stars, both ministerial an ! lay who have been extinguished by death, since our last meeting, who nr.. shining with brighter God.

"Thou art gone to the grave But we will not deplore thee" was rendered with solemn pathos that seemed to stir tho fountains of grief. When the singing was concluded he added: In emulation of their active, earnest and spotless lives. K-t us now press forward in the faithful discharge of our duty in this bodv, and in all else Jo Bishop Jones in the chair announced that it was in order to proceed with the election of officers : and in the absence of C.

To tins end it is desirable that as far as possible tii- re shall be perfect harmony and good feeling between the assembly and its chairman. While sitting here pimply as a member of this body.

None ol these things mriye rne. My life has been one con tinual scene of coruliots. In fact. I like eonlliet-. as they keep my armor bright. When it is my personal abme concerned the lion in my nature dreads no enemy, high or I )W. secret or open, from front, dank or rear. To do rihl is my nntto. regardless of consequences. I shall look to my character, my reputation I shall leave with Him in whose hands my href th is. P,n t as y mi r Hishop. a hen I come to act iis your chairman, then- are certain riglits which belong to vim and which I have neither lh right nor the d lspcsilion to withhold from you Vou hive heard things which have grieved you: and ym have tho right to know to whit extent 1 have olTendcii. if at all. To those v ho h a ve t ho r igh t to call my course in question, it in a ph-a-uio to me to explain. A few have come f me in the mor-t kindly and christian h; nil for explanation, and they have found me ieadv to explain. That I wrote an address to read be fore the New York annual conference is true. That it was not a steroatyped address is also true. Like the sermons of Lii e greatest preacher of the age. lr. 'i'almae. ii took in something of the condition of thecourury. 1 1 de precated the oppressed condition of my people and attempted to trace the effect to its cause, and suggested a remedy. The New York V, orid had a full copy of that addiess in its purs 'Sinu. hut re fuse,! to publish tt: instead thereof, it published a statement partially false and misleading: and the things that 1 have heard complained of especially, were not in the addrtss in the form stated. The light is not against Lishop Hood hut against the publication in the New York World. I have a correct copy of the address as originally taken by the olii :ial stenographer of the New York conference, copies of w hich were sent to several papers, but none pub lished it. Those interested to know what it contained cau have a copy to leau . auu i snail iiul uiij'-i l to miy e a. - press: on that this general conference may ueinerupon ..uh buujoui. is a deliverance that I have made , under ; . . . . - a sermon. v lien it wa8 aeliverea in the New York conference there was general applause. I think I need Bay no more on this subject, as the address will speak for itself. You may set your heart upon one thing, however, that Bishop Hood will not complain of any action you may feel to take on this matter. Bishop S T. Jones cam.' forward with tho confer, nee banner, given to the coa'erence for the largest amount of money contributed , as a centennial donation, and to be displayed in the general con feren e as atrophy of vic tory which, in tin's instance, was in hon pofthe Alleghany conference, in cluding Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Bishop remarked : 1 present 10 your view the conference banner The r. v, r-f side will tell to whom it belongs Klder S. ( 'la, borne That is Kentucky. I believe. Bishop Jones It 'belongs t" th"" cm ference I first joined. Bishop Hood It is humiliating to the larger conference to have one of the smallest carry olf the ri.-. but w e shall have to stand it.
