THE METHODIST CONOBESS. The quadrennial cession of the Methodist Episcopal general confer ence of the Unite ! States commenced at Cincinnati Saturday. This conference - ence ia destined to mark one of the great epochs in the history of Meth odism. The general conference ia to the Methodist body in the United States what an osoumenical council is to the Homish church throughout the world. It is the highest ruling body of the church. It combines executive , legislative and judicial functions. It has powers which no racumenioal coun cil enjoys , since it elects bishops and lower officers in the church hierarchy. It establishes rules for church government and is the custodian of tha body of church lawy with power to alter , amend or re- pesb > It'has the ultimate control ot matters of church discipline and is the last court bf appaal in ecclesiastical cases. Indeed , the peculiarly central ized .cooetitntion'of the Methodist cborch wakes its highest governing body fcho f eposltory of greater and more' varied power * than any other civil of 'twclesiaatical legislature , ex cepting only the British parliament. Its authority extends from the es tablishment of rules for the govern ment of the smalles village church and the , determination , upon appeal , of the emalleet question of discipline , tn Kh fiiHaanT F fuifiTmT'wfin * W + Tin % dM hierarchy. , M .Tin general conference a delegate rtmwnUtive bocjy , which' meets end in foBP B PtQdntlnaea ifs &t&- ioni from four to fir * weeks.

The number of importantsubjecta to come b afore the general conference causes its assemb * ling and proceedings to be anticipated wltb/intensc { interest by , Methodists hroughout'tlle United States. " A number of important dignitaries and officials are to bo elected by the con- 'erence , bishops , editors of church jonrnabf book * agents , missionary secretaries and treasurers , and free men's aid secretaries.3 Of 'course'the chief intereat centers in the 'election of bishops. No bishopsof the Metho dist church have been chosen since 1872 , when eight were elected at once. Since then five have died , Bishop Morris of Ohio , Bishop Janes of Pennsylvania , Binhop Ames of Maryland , Bishop Roberta of Liberia and Bishop Gilbert Haven of Georgia. This reduces the whole number of these dignitaries o nine , of whom one is disabled by llnoss. The Cincinnati conference will elect at least three or four bish ops. It will also choose thirteen edi tor' * , book agents at New York and incinnati , and four missionaries and secretaries. Some very important questions of law and discipline are ex pected to come before the conference. The question of extending the term , now limited to three years , will be earnestly discussed. There is a prop osition to enlarge the powers of the annual conferences , as to determining ; he number and limits of districts , which it is intended to bring before the general conference. Perhaps the most important question of church government which will be discussed is that of an elective presiding eldership. These officers are nowappointed by the bishops in harmony with the central izing principle that governs the Methodist organization. To place the choice of presiding elder in the district conferenca would be a rather startling innovation In the Methodist constitu tion. Yt it is earnestly urged by the modern element which seels to en- latge the powers of the individual churches and introduce a democratic spirit into the church government , and will be er"ously discussed by the conference. A great many eccleeiasti cal cases will be brought before th conference as a court of appeals , some of which are interesting and im portant. As the bishops preside over the sessions of the conference in order of seniority , the presiding officer of the Cincinnati conference will be Dr. " 0v * > - Knn of Delaware , who was appointed ia 1862 , and is the senior b'shop ' of the United States. ho x * 4.ncr n ( , OTMat-ncadren- nial congress of Methodism suggests some general sketch of the remarkable body. 'Methodism in America is only one hundred and fourteen years old. The first Methodist society in Ameri- ci , composed of only five members , was organized by Philip Embury in New York in 1776 , and the first church edifice was creeled about two years later. Two itinerant preachers were appointed by John Wesley the next year , and in 1784 , the Methodist Episcopal church was formally organized in Philadelphia and the first b'shops , Thomas Coke and Francis Asbory , were elected. The first quadrennial conference was held in Baltimore in 1702 , the same city wherein the twenty-third general conference was hold four years ago. Five years later the Methodist church in America had a membership of near ly 60,000. It increased about sixty per cont. every ten years after that date until the separation of the south ern church in 1842. Since that time the northern branch has increased at about the same rate , until in 1877 it numbered 1,671- 608 members. The total number ol preachers , lay and clerical , in 1879 , was 23,855 , and the total income from contributions in that year was some § 12,000,000. The Methodist church controls thirty-four colleges , ten the ological eeminar.es and come ninety other Institutions of learning in the United States. It has some 20,000 Sunday-schools , a prosperous church extension society , wealthy home and foreign mission societies and an ex tensive and troublesome book concern. Altogether the Methodist church in the United States is & numerous and prosperous body , and the meeting of its quadrennial congress in Cincinnati is one of the events of the year. THE republicans of Douglas county who have rallied around the standard of James G. Blaine have won a signal victory in the choice of a solid Blaine delegation to the State convention. The victory was won after a most protracted and des perate contest , but we have no dispo sition to exult over the defeat of those who vainlysought topreventthisresult , nor do we propose to aisail these re publicans for differing with us. They made a- pluck l vfight but | bein in the minority they finally were compelled to submit and it ia to their credit that they ac cepted the verdict of ihe majority with becoming compoaure.

With him in the field rests the only chance of Tilden's elec tion , shouldthelatter secure theDemo- cratic nomination. With these two in the field the scales would be so evenly balanced that it cannot be told now which would kick the beam. I know there are bitter antagonisms among some of the republican leaders , but one could bo nominated who would consolidate the party and defeat the democrats and easily defeat them too , should they nominate Tilden.

" Just What They Want. Nuokolla Comity Herald. THE OMAHA BEE has long been noted for its enterpriie in furnishing to its patrons the latest as well as the greatest variety of news of any paper in the west , and we are glad to hear , and note tha fact , that arrange ments have recently been made by which it will give still a greater variety , by publishing the full telegraphic reports of the national as sociated press , the noffs and market reports of the western associated press , and also an t increase in their spscial dispatches. Truly , those desi ring all , and the latest news , need look no further THE BEE is just what they want. The Morgan Bill. 8t Louis Republican Senator Morgan's bill to punish persons who shall attempt to perform the functions of Presidential elector without being qualified is simply a meaiura to enforce an observance of constitutional provisions. It provides that any person who , being : disquali fied for elector by reason of being a senator or representative in Congress , or holding an office of trust or profit under the United States , shall attempt to exercise the powers of an elector by voting for president or vice-president , or by signing any list of electoral votes with intent to have the same trans mitted to the president of the senate to be ehown and counted , shall be punished with a fine of not less than $5000 nor more than $20,000 , and with imprisonment at hard labor for not less than five nor more than ten years , and be fcrever disqualified to hold office under the United States government. It provides , further , that if any parson not an elector shall assume to i > a. nn fljfcjpr lie shall be ' ' ' ur-'iLuhrpVfrrfb'ni'anall conspire to com mit or abet the crime here indicated , they shall be punished in the same manner. The bill is rather tardy. It oughl to have been a law in 1876 , when all the crimes it proposes to punish were committed , still it may be well to ea- act it into a law now , to prevent or punish a repetition of them. The re publicans , wo presume , will give it a cool reception. They will not find much to admire in a measure , which , if it could have a retrospective effect , would force a score or more of promi nent members of their party in the penitentaty , and diminish by one , at lesst , the number of candidates for the Chicago nomination. Nobrasta and the Presidency. Kemaha Granger. The Omaha republican expresses the opinion that Blaine cannot be nominated at Chicago , and that opin ion may be correct. Four years ago a little later than this , we stated to a Nemaha county politician that Blaine would no be nominated at the coming convention , for to ui his defeat ap peared certain , though the gentleman referred to did not agree with us. We now believe that Blaine will not be nominated , though it is yet possible for the people at large , who really prefer Blaine , to kick the party ma chine ono side. A general uprising of the people can save Blaine , but they must speak soon and very earnestly. But it seems to us that the Repub lican takea a very narrow view of the question of how Nebraska shall vote at the Chicago convention , when it proposes that the vote be cast ia a manner to secure the largest number of appointments for Nebraska. The only thing proposed by the Bepubli- can is that Nebraska shall vote for the successful candidate , and the only rea son given ia the fact that such a voting will secure more official patronage for this State. In other words , it is proposed to sell the vote of Nebraska for a promise of appointment ? . Such a proposition is anything but honora ble or patriotic. Nebraska is really for Blaine , and if the delegation hon estly represents the people the vote will be cast for Blaine. If the delega tion wishes s'mply to secure appoint ments for alot of dead beat politicians the vote will be cast tor the candidate who will most freely sellappointments for votes. The man best qualified for the office should receive the vote of the Ne braska delegation , regardless of the chance to chare more or less liberally in the spoils of office. Better be right than to receive many appointmente. A Fearless Journal. Wahoo Times THE OMAHA BEE has lately com pleted errangements for increased tel egraphic news. They print the full report of the National Associated Press and all the telegraph news and market reports of the Western Asso ciated Press. They have increased their special dispatches to an extent that enables them to excel all rivals west of Chicago. Their local news is complete up to the hour of 6 a. m. Outside of THE BEE'S support of the rotten republican administration it is one of the best daily papers pub lished. The editor , Roiewater , is a fearlets cuss and deals with local roughs who undertake to rob ihe people , but when it comes to the policy of the national robbers his pen and influence is always used in en- iorsingthem. This little inconsistency loses THE BEE a great many friends who otherwise would gladly support it as the best daily in the state.

Portland. Ms SANTA CLAUS FOUND. Greatest Discovery of the Age. Wonderful discoveries In the world have be < n made Among other things where Santa dim stayed , Children oft ask If be makes goods or not , If really he lives In a mountain of snow. Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Felt And suddenly dropped into what seemed like ahole Where wonder of wonders they found anew land , ifhile fairy-like beings appeared on each hand. There were mountains like ours , with mora beautiful preen , And far bngh'-er skies than ever were seen , Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found , While flowers of exquisite frajran'ca were grow Ing around. Not long were they left to wonder in doubt , A beuijr soon came they bad beard much about , Twas Santa Claus' self and t h ilthey all say , Beleoked like the picture IT esee everyday. He drove up a team that looked very queer , Twas a team f grasshoppers Instead of reindeer , Be rode in a shell Instead of a sleigh. But he took them on boird and drove them away. He showed them all over his wonderful realm , And factories making goods for women and men. Furriers were working on haU great and small. To Bunco's they said they were sending them all. Kris Klngle , the Glove Maker , told them at once , All our Gloves we are lending to Bunce , Santa showed them suspenders and many things more. Sayin ? I alie took these to friend Bunco's store. Santa Clans then whispered a secret he'd tell , As in Omaha every one knew Bunce well , He therefore should send his goods to his care , Knowing his friends will get their full share. Now remember ye dwellers in Omaha town , All who want present ! to Hunco's go round , For shirts , collars , or gloves great and small. Send your sister or aunt one and all.
