National Reform.

At the Methodist Episcopal Conference of Southern Illinois, recently held at Alton, a communication to the conference was presented and entertained, and by vote of the conference an opportunity was granted for urging the claims of national reform. There were in attendance at this conference about one hundred and fifty preachers, forming an influential body of ecclesiastics.
The Baptists at their annual convention held in San Francisco the week past, discussed a resolution on the Sabbath (Sunday) question. It was declared, that in the opinion of the Association the matter of observing the Sabbath should not be interfered with by State or National Constitutions or legislative enactments. The report was adopted, and a committee appointed to present the views of the Association on this question to the Constitutional Convention.
