This morning, preceding tbs opening of Ibe Con
ventlou, devotional exercises were held, Ths attend
an at these exercises was fair.
Rev. Bllas Ulonsjn, 1). l.,ot Baltimore, preilded H
The mtellng was called to order at S'.io o'clock. The
Chairman announord tue 681U Psalm as the opening
hymn, commencing;
a,-, "1 hou haHt, O Lord most glorious,
Atcended upon high,
And In triumph victorious led
Captive oaptivdy;
Thou hast received glfti for men,
Por such as did rebul;
Yea, e'en for them, that God the Lord,
In midst of them might dwell."
The Rev. Dr. Backus then led in prayer. 1
The 121 h chapter of Isaiah, aud the 5th chapter of
the Gottpel .by Matthew, were read by the chairman.
In announcing the mh Pxalm the ohalrmau said
that probably the last opportunity would be given (or
exhoria'lon and praiau. sines the sacred assembly
would aJoiirn befuro another morminr.
Dr. T. .1. Dnllleld wan the lint to address the meet
ing. He said be was a Calvlulst, although he wan a
New School member. Be; put God first everywhere
and every time. He believed In the perHeverance of
theBRliilx; he loved the Presbyterian name; beloved
the Calvinlnttc order, and the communion of saints.
He believed In that great sentiment enunciated from
tbe pulpit by Dr. Duir, that this was like tbe tribes
coming op to Jerusalem, and the nearer they get to
Jerusalem tbe nearer they gel to one another; and
hat when thev get on tbe Mount of Zlon they were
on the same platform.
M r.Mc u 11 1 lort t aid Wehave heretofore been set tl ng
forth In reference to the things on whlcu we disagree,
but now we are aseuibled to cousider lu what we
agree. It Is not for us to know what God's purposes
are, but we aro now about knowing tba Christian
nnion is being perfected. Tills Is the most Hoiemo
day tbnt has beeu spent by any minister of the goipol,
lie exhorted all to bo In harmouy, as It was God's
purpose to bring all together.
Dr. Stephenson, who wus speaking, wna Interrupted
by the eutrauce of the members of the Episcopal
Convention. All being sealed, Mr. tttuart. who was
presiding, called for the sluglng 01 the l.'tfd Psalm
"Behold, how good a thing It Is,
And how becoming well,
Together such as brethren are
In unity to dwell !"
The scene was perfectly grand and Inspiring, as the
whole body. Episcopalians and Presbyterians, united
tbelr voices lu singing this beautiful and appropriate
composition.
Mr. Stuart then read an extract from' Paul the
Apostle, relative to a Christian unity. During the
reading ot this portion of the Scriptures, some of the
Kpiscopal clergy ascended the plallorm, seating
themselves among tbe Presbyterians, and at Its con
clusion, Rev, Rlcnard Newton, of the Epiphany, P,
E., offered up an eloquent and Impressive prayer.
I'rof. H. J). Smith, or New York, then introduced
the special deputation In a row remarks.
Mr. Stuart then, advancing to Bishop Mcllvatne,
said, "Brother, I can't call you blibop, lor we are all
brothers now of Christ."
Bishop Mcllvalue said, "I am very giaa to nna
residing here ever this august body my old friend
Ir. Stuart."
Advancing to the front he said: We reciprocate
your prayers for our welfare. Those prayers have
been answered, not dlreotly. but more auspiciously
than most ol us could have anticipated. God has
answered them lu the spirit of love. The entrance
of your deputation was a graterul surprise, and every
heart was opened at once. We are here to-day for
the purpose of expressing onr feelings, loves, and
desires In response, it may seem to jou a remark

the Lord Jesus Christ. (Applause.)
Bishop Lee, of Delaware, was then Introduced by
Mr. Stuart, who said the last time thai Bishop Mcll
v iiie, Bishop Lee, and I met. we were at the gates ot
Richmond, asking .lelferson Davis to allow us to enter
r.icbmond aud minlHter to tbe starving Union sol
diers who were bnt'llug for our beloved country.
Now that we have one united country, may wo not
hope that soon we will have one united Church?
'i be Right Rev. Bishop Lee then said that the de
putation had come to exnress a recinroatlon of the
courteous and Christian greeting that had been ex
tended to our body. He felt. In common with the
gentlemen who had preceded him, that the Inter
change of fellowship and Christian love was unpre
cedented and unexpected. This certainly oannot he
attributed to the will or wisdom of man, but to Uod
onr Father.
Prof. Smith then recited the Anostle's Creed, all
present repeating, after which, tbe hymn comnino-
liig-jiiesi oe me lie mat Dinus onr uearts inunrii
tian love," was sung with wonderful eU'ect by the eu
tliecoiiRreRBtlon. Air, tuuart men in leeung terms aiiuaoa 10 ine woric
performed by Hie laie Dudley Tyng, and said that he
took great pleasure In lutroduclug a brother of that
lamented reveiena.
Rev. Stephen 11. lync, jr.. men remariceu mat ne
could say but a lew words, as the laity were expected
to say someming, ana inose lew wouiu come iroiu
Ins heart. When we entered this church, there was
one In the deputation who felt that ha was lu his
t ather's bouse, i ne speaker men said mat we were
oil brethren, bound together by the magnetism of the
love of Jesus, and bent on the sumo object.
Judge Conyngham, and Mr. Felix R. Brunot, of
Plltsbiirg, replied In appropriate terms, on buhalf of
the laity of the Protestant Fplscopal Church.
Mr. George H. Stuart then addressed the depu
tation, and spoke In a feeling manner of the ser
vices rendered by Bishop Mcllvatne during tbe late
Rebellion, He then called upon Rev. Dr. Hodge, of
Princeton College, to respond in behalt of the Con
vention. Tnat gentleman delivered a pathetic response,
during which there was scarcely a dry eye In the
entire audience.
He said: Gentlemen and brothers honored and
beloved: I am culled upon to present to you, In tbe
name of this Convention, a very hearty Christian
salutation. Yon here see around you the represent,
tives of six Presbyterian organizations of this coun
try, comprising, In the aggregate, at least 6000 minis
ters of Jesus, and an eipial number of Christian
Churches, and at least one million of
Christians. They have been appointed
to come up here to effect a onion of hands, and a
union ot hearts, lor the gieat work of Co 1st. This
great body, with that yourselves have been connected
with these few days past, are to enter Into an earnest
labor for the advancement of . on to do the task
that the task-master has set us. knowing that If we
labor for Him, we shall not have labored In vain.
Tne nay Is coming, and Is not far off, when
we shall see churches arise such as the world never
hat seen before, beautiful as Terza, comely as Jerusa
lem, and terrible to the foesof Christ as an army with
banners: and we shall see a church growing up of
which Jesus Christ Himself shall be the chief oorner
stone, the whole body fitly framed together, and
growing Into a holy temple in tbe Lord.
He was followed further on the part of the Conven
tion by the Rev. Dr. Stearns, ol Newark, N. J,
(several moments were spent In silent prayer, when
the Rv. Bishop Mcllvatne led In prayer, Invoking
tue blessing ol God upon the deliberations of the Con
vention, alter which tbe Rev, Dr. John Hall per
formed the same oillce In reference to the Kplicspal
I hnrch In this country and over the rest of the world.
Bishop Lee then recited the Lord's Prayer, the vast
axxenimage Joining.
Mr, Stuart then, addressing B'shop Mcllvalne, re-
S paled the last three verses ot the Oth chapter of
lumbers:
'1 he Lord bless thee and keep thee.
"Tbe Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be
grscloas unto thee.
"The Lord lift up Ills countenance upon thee, and
give thee peace "
After this a solemn and impressive benediction was
pronounced upon the good assembly of the two great
branches of tbe Church, by the Right Rev. Bishop
Mcllvalne, or Ohio. After this, by common consent,
the Convention adiotirued to 3 o'clock, and the rrm.
bers of the various di visions congratulated each other,
and a scene of hand-sbaking aud cordiul interchange
Of feelings ensued which beirgars description.
Long alter tbe hour ot dismissal the Church was
crowded with delegates, who could not bear to leave
scene of such deep Interest.
This morning's Convention was to have returned
the discussion of tbe rep rt of the Committee on a
''bests of union," but the reception ol ibe Episcopa
lian delegation and Die fervent addresses made by
the various members, so occupied the attention of the
Convention that It was referred to this afternoon.
The report of this Committee, wl ich is luresllng,

ilun Church are to he merged, may be found oa our

Larceny Case. On last Wednesday, a

This morning the annual meeting of the Pennsyl
vania Anil-Siavery Society was held at the Franklin
Institute, on Seventh street, above Chesnut. The
attendance was lame, and dep Interest maulfentod.
Robert Pnrvls, Esq., Vice-President of the Society,
called the meeting Ui order, and stated that this was
the thirty-first annual meeting ot the Anti-slavery
Society. He had been renies.ed by the venerable
President of the Society, James Mott, to ocoupy the
chair, as the Inflrmlilei or age bad rendered blm In
capable of performing the duties of presiding officer.
Lavlola T. Reed was eleclod Heoretary.
On motion of Alfred H. Ixve,ltwas resolved that
a committee or three bo appointed to nominate ollioers
for the ensuing year.
1 he Chair appointed the following to constitute the
committee: Wanton B. Liutoo, William II. Johusou,
Thomas Gnrrett.
On motion or Jacob Panon it was resolved that a
Finance Commlitee, consisting ot three, be appointed.
The Chair announced the following as constituting
the Committee: Kdward M. Davis, Chairman, Kdwln
11. Coales, and Mar.? Grew.
Alfred H Love announced that Frances B. Osge
nun lorwarueu lorty volumes or ner poems ana tern-
eraiice stories inn proceeds aoove tue actual co.n to

Howard M. iavis men mane an earnest appeal to
those present tor funds to enable tho anti-slavery
cause to be carried forward to a success! 11: consumma
tion. He staled tliat the receipts ol the meetings at
Kennett Square and West Chester were large. Great
Interest was manifested In the meetings, and he had
no doubt great good had been done In furthering
the cause ot anti-slavery. A thorough organi
zation was necessary In all tbe small towns
wll bin thirty miles of Philadelphia. lie would appeal
to tbe Republican party to make tbe Issue absolute,
and Just as simple as possible, that this Is not a
white man's Government. Tbe issue In tbe coming
election should be.bhall tbe colored man have suf
frage? He believed In the loyally, Intelligence, an 1
In the enlightenment or the men ol this state, and
that they would vote affirmatively on that question.
Tbe Republicans wore beaten by combinations. He
would not eulOKlr.e them particularly. Them Is as
much dtllerence between the position ol the Rvpubll
mm paity and that ot the Democratic party as there
is between that very warm place below aud that de
sirable one above.
'1 he Republicans were timid and lukewarm. Tuey
were net organ l7.ed did not combine. The Demo
crats did. The Democrats beat us, first, by tbe power
ol combination; aud. second, by Indifference on the
other side. Mr. Davis then referred briefly to the
great good tbe Anti-Slavery Standard had done In dis
seminating anti-slavery principles. It should receive
the support ot all.
Mrs. Mary Grew stated that WendoU Phillips gave
ell his spare time to the antt Slav-ry cause without
remuneration. His exampleBhould be followed. No
more obligation rested upon him than devolved upon
the rest of the advocates of the cause of God and
humanity.
K. H. Coatessaid he understood the object of the
Society Is to cifl'use the great principles 01 universal
Justice; and when a mau Is converted to the pure
principles of Republicanism, which means pure antt
slavery, he becomes a free man. He will grant to
others what ho claims tor himself; therefore the ballot
Is Incident to anti-slavery, and no man will deny It to
others It free hlmseir.
Colonel Moss, of Missouri, said that one year ago he
had advecated those principles which had made such
great progress since. He bad witnessed with pain the
result of the recent elections In the North. Had tbe
question been universal su triage the deleat would not
have been so bad.
The four millions of black people In this country
who six years ago were chattels are to-day men. Tney
have made great progress in education. To-day, la
point ef capacity to read and write, they stand along
side, ay, and beyond the white people of North
Carollua in I860. They have a greater proportion
to-day of readers and writers than was fotiud among
that class In 1H60. They have shown Ihelr capacity
for self-government, and are demonstrating It.
In the Southern States, where the elective franchise
has been conferred upon then, they voted qnietlv; no
riots or murders, and, more than all that, there was
no selling of votes. Tbelr hal'ols wero cast for
liberty They aided In saving the nntlou.
The Republicans found they could not carry on the
struggle to sustain tbe Union without calling on all
men to bear arms. Tbe Republicans must remain
t'ue to the principles of Justice. 1 he speaker hoped
the day would soon come when the talk about race,
"white man's government." etc., would cease.
M Iss Mary Grew then read the following resolutions:

Tbe real cause of the recent defeat which has over

There are men, earnest enough as Radicals, when
there Is nothiug political at stake, but as soon as the
trial born of political temptation conies, ready to
seek tbe gronnd of availability whereon they may

ends. It is true, as Is stated In the resolution, that
the J etc York Herald aud the Democratic Journals

Tbe Aftfftlnn House was organism In OamMfr, Ohio,
the seat ot Kenyon Colleg J n the summer of ISM, On
tbe 1st of September of that year It was opened tor
students, but only four presented themselves, and tor
a year tne lastiiution was poor ana languisning. in
June. IS'ifl, tbe Institution wns transferred to West
Philadelphia, where the bouse No. t6IS Laonasler
avenu bad been purchased for 17,000. When tho in
stitution was transferred, ten stiidnnls Only accompa
nied the Principal: but the number Inore&sed to lit
during tbe year ISM. The Rev. J , G. Auer, the Princi
pal, was almost alone in the work for two years,
gathering the students together, and collecting the
money for their support, besides attending to all the
rai ning, correspondence, ana nnuseiioiu matters.
During tbe past year, regular classes) have been
formed in the Mission House, and It has enloved a
mpFsnre of prosperity. Most ot the S'udnnls. who
come from dillerent nations, have worked hard and
done well. The first principal, however, has felt
called upon to resign the posltl n and proceed to
Africa, and now the regular faculty or the House Is

sequence of her non-attendance, bad an attachment
lssutu agniiisi her to compel ner presence. Alderman
Hurley, It seems, was culled out of the city yesterday
ar ernuoii. and could not be In his othce
until after to-day, and the result was
that If the plaintiir Insisted nntin holding the witness
for a verhal statement, tbe ollioers having the writ of
uiaenmeiit would nave neen compelled to noiu tue
lady In custody until tho magi Urate's return. It
was therefore suggested bv Mr. William L. Hint. Jr..
who repesented Madame Rislori, that as a matter
of courtesy to a lady her deposition should be taken
by consent of counsel before some other Altlermau,
John A. Owens, Ksq., representing Mr. Randall,
aald that while every man and woman in tbe
land, having a particle of artistic las e, must
be proud to admit that they had an attachment for
the lady's genius, few would desire to procure one for
her body, backed by the seal of tbe Commonwealth
aud the signature of a Justice. He therefore with plea
sure assented to tbe suggestion of Mr. Hirst, and
would cheerfully agree to take Madame Rlstorl's
uei osltiou at bis own or Mr. Hirst's ollice.
I be parties therefore proceeded to tbe place agreed
upon, and the following, among oilier testimony, was
tne resun:
Miolonie Adflalde Ristorl, a witness on the part of
