Tbe memorial recom menda tbesubsiltutlonof an article embodying tbese provisions: Finn.

Helerred to the Committee on Canous. Tbe Rev. Oeorge P. Lee, of Illinois, also pre sented for that diocese a memorial for trie re peal of the filth artloie of tbeUoosiltution, and tbe restrictions therein Imposed. Tbe memo rial "requests the General Convention to repeal this fifth article wltn all tbe restrictions that It Imposes upon tbe Increase of tbe EpUoopato, In accordance wltn primitive and Scriptural nsages, or to so modify and change tbe same by such provisions as the wisdom of theChuron in General Convention assembled may supply." It also requests tnat such legislation may be had as will place a Bishop "in every principal city, with bis cathedral the centre of all his work, religions, educational, ami benevolent, a blest ed temple and heavenly home, to which all eyes may turn and in which all hearts may re joice." Referred. The law alluded tola to be fonnd In articles of tbe Constitution of 1789, and provides that no new diocese can be formed without the consent of the Bishop and Convention of each diocese concerned, as well as the General Con vention; tbat there cannot be less than fifteen self-supporting dioceses, with thirteen presby ters wbo shall have been at least one year or dained, and no city to form more than one diocese, giving tbe Bishop of a dl'icese the power to choose wbloh diocese he will belong to In case of a dlvlKion, and directs tbat new dioceses shall be subject to tbe constitution and canons of the new diocese. BISHOP LBB'S SERMON. After reoess a motion was made by the Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of- Pennsylvania, to print 8000 copies ot Bishop Lee's sermon delivered before tbe Convention. Borne objections were made, as tbe former number primed was but 1500, and tbe mover accepted the number. Mr. Wallace, of BU Louis, Mo., said be thought tbe sermon was calculated to do harm, and moved to lay the resolution to print on tbe table. Tbe Rev. Dr. Llttlejobnand tbe Rev. Dr. Mead both rose to protest nurongly against laying the resolution on tbe txble. It was a thing unheard of to refuse printing the Convention sermon, and would be a breach of a rule of courtesy wbich bad always obtained In this body. Dr. Mead said tbat though be differed in tolo caelo li om the doctrines ot that sermon, be should be corry to see such a discourtesy practised. Mejor George E. Fairbanks was opposed to printing a controversial Bermon. It was time tbat a bad precedent was stopped. If courtesy were to obtain In one Instance, it would in all. Be would In future, as now, vote against print ing Convention sermons. The adoress of the Uouseof Ill-hops, published with tne Journal, expressed tbe consolidated views of the Bishops, and there was propriety in publishing tbat, but there was no propriety in publishing the views of an Individual Blsbop. The Rev. Dr. Haigbt spoke In favor of the rf solution. Borne might not approve of the douirlne preached, bnt tbe Bixhop preaobed ao coidtng to bis conscience, lie hoped the ser mon would be printed. Tbe Rev. Dr. Goodwin sa'd we could not legis late for future conventions. He hoped they would not (be would notsay lnsuit) show soon disrespect to a Bishop, and one of snon high standing. Tbe Bishop spoke according to his conscience, and they were not to sit in Judg ment on nlm who wan appointed by the Con vention to preach the sermon. He (the speaker) might agree to all, or some only of tbe doo trines preached by the Bishop. Was that a retmtn tbat tbey khonld reluse to print bis sermon T He was amazed, and so be would sit dowv (Laughter.) 'J be Rev. Dr. Mead said he had a book of ser mons lu bis band preached slnoe 1789, and If tbey were to refuse to print that sermon now, It would notoniv he disrespeotfal, but leave a blank In tbe history ef the Cnnron. Xue lion. 8. B. Ruggles.of New York, favored the priming on the same grounds as the pre Vlouo i eakers. Mbjor Parsons, of Kansas, would vote against tbe printing, not as a mark of disrespect to the Bishop, but because the sermon was con troversial. The Hoo. John N. Conyngham, of Pennsyl vania, favored the printing, and spoke elo quently bgainst showing any disrespect to the Bishop of Delaware. The sermon would be print d whether the Convention wonld agree to it or not, and If tbey wished it to be read by every one, and to throw a halo of martyrdom round Its author, tbey could not do so belter than by refusing to print. Tbe Rev. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, also fa vored the publication. He strongly urged on the Convention not to refuse to publlsa a ser mon preached in Trinity Church by a bishop of the Church on their own appointment. Any man would print that sermon who bad sound reason and common sense. By request of Dr. Llttlejohn the Secretary read an extract from White's Memoirs of the Protestant Episcopal Churcb, in relation to tbe action of tbe Convention of 1820 on printing the sermon of Blsbop Moore. The vote was taken, after considerable dlsmis Sinn, and the moilou to lav on tbe taole lost. The resolution to print 1500 copies was then carried. - - MEMORIALS. The Rev.

To fmppress this many leggea monster of fraud would be a taik for a t ew Hercules. It is easier to create voters by vice than te unmake theru by virtue. Yet tbese voters must not be polled, If a fair and an honest election is to be held in this city.

ROBERT TILER. The Son of the F.xPrealdeiit Add reuses the Ieinocracy. Mr. Eobert Tyler, eon of ex-PreeUent T?ler, genially and familiarly known as Bob Tyler during his la'her's term of office, now reetdlntr in Montgomery. Ala., addressed a letter to a recent Democratic mass meeting in Belma, from which we make the following extracts: The radical party well know tbat it will be ouite Impossible to find a more peaceful and patient population tban ours on the face of tbe earrb ; and they further know that for Southern men to engage, under these circumstances, in civil violence and rebellion, would simply show tbat every man who did so was an idiot. Tbey know all this well eooueb, but in their extre mity they have resorted to this political fraud to avoid meeting the people on their own too vul nerable record. Their ud ceasing effort is to escape from their own acts. Wben asked to ex plain wbat has become of the billion and a half ot tbe people's dollar they have collected and expended since tbe close of tbe war, they shout by way of answer, "To the fiont, boys in blue," "Forward. Tannere," ' Up with - the flag," "Hurrah for Grant." When asked why, alter declaring radical reconstruction a perfect success in the Chicago platform a few months ago, they now admit it to be a disastrous failure, they at once cry out tbat Toombs aud Cobb ana Wise and Hampton are conspiring to incite "another rebellion." When asked why the public debt Is Increasing in volume and why the public credit is sinking lower and lower, thsy beQ'n to declaim frantically about the horrors of Cenfederate prisons and to weep tears over the dead of the war. Tbey dare not allow the ruindd of the people to consider calmly the real issues of the canvass and to form an uuexctted and deliberate judgment upon them. They dare not, In other words, answer to the people for their extravagabce, corruption, usurpations, revolntionary aspirations, and individual and public immoralites. Tbe matter which vitally concerns Tie is to ascertain whether the people cau be thus de luded and betrayed into a position of dreadful peril from which they may not be able to escape in safety when at last undeceived, or, fearful thought! it is to ascertain whether the people have themselvta become so corrupt as volun tarily to lay down tbe franchises of freemen, and to put on the badges that shall mark them as tbe servile subjects of a centralized despot ism. A few weeks longer and the 'ate of our country will have been settled for weal or woe. When tbe sun sets on the 3d day ot next No vember the American Union will have acquired a new promise ot hope aud regeneration in the tuccei-s of tbe national Democratic party, or It will have assumed a form of govern aient un known to the constitution of our fathers, whose powers, first partitioned between the General of the Army and an 1riesnon1ble Cou cress, must rpeedily become coueolida'ed in tbe bands ot a Congressional oligarchy or of a military dicta tor, as tbe struggle between them shall deter mine. GRANT. What ir be la Elected, According to Southern Opinion. Tbe Louisville Democrat contained recently the lollowing: Let us say in the beginning that from a calm and considerate view of tbe canvass, founded not on tbe opinions of one, but all parties, we believe Grant will be defeated. This is our sin cere and candid belief. Yet we must not deny tbat tbe result Is by no means certain. Tne questions are so new, tbe people so unsettled, toe indications so unreliable and the great lever of control held by tbe radicals In Congress so powerfgl, tbat tbe election of Grant Is pos sible, and we look at tbat possibility. Let uh say once for all, that all those who advise the ttoulh to resist, who assert tnat It will resist, or under tbe olroumstanods thlnK it ought to reklat. are wrong. There would be no help to them from tbe North; they must not believe It. There may be some in the North who urge them to take np arms; bat the89 are mere demagogues. If a resistance was agln organized in the Bout b, it would be met, as it waa before, by tbe whole power of the North, and crushed as it was before. We say this not because we believe there is Ibe slightest Intention in tbe Boatu to resist, but because we see the silly utterances of some Bout hem and Kentucky papers are caught up in tbe North and used. There is no such de sign in tbe South. Tbey are powerless and know it. Belore any Bonlbern resistance to oppression can come It must be first organized and commenced in the North. It would then be right and proper for the Booth to strike a blow for ber freedom, bnt it would be madness to strike a blow before that lime. There will be, therefore, no resumption of hostilities. Tbe question recurs to the internal condition of tbe Boutb. We do not believe dis turbances In that section wlil greatly increase, 1 We do not believe the radicals themselves will carry out tbe threats of their speakers, and we tto not believe Grant will allow It. We have no confidence in his humanity or statesmanship, or his consideration for the Houlbern people. We rest our hope on a lower level, suited to bis character aud capacity. Grant is a disciplina rian. He is arbitrary, but be will have no orders but bis own. The probability Is that he will depend more on the army, whloh he knows, than on tbe people be does not know, lie will not have much retpeot for these b gus governments In the Boutb, but be will aim to keep np a sort of order by the military. There la another point In Grant's onaraoter. Although he is now tbe head or instrument of radicalism, Grant is, by education, prejudiced Kgalnsi tbe negro. It is not Ibe prejudice of a philosophic statesman, wbo sees their incom petence to discharge tbe full duties of citizen ship, but the narrow prejudice of date, and it Is personal against the negro. When be comes to be tried, wben bis natural peculiarities are allowed to come out, Just as be would have been cruel as a slaveholder he will be cruel and violent as a ruler. Theatronxprejudlue will find a vent. Tbe negro will not be protected in bis sphere as be would blunder Sevmour; butlt is likely he will be persecuted. It will be a vin dictive government. The negro, when be com mits any violence, will be extirpated, and the race will be tre .ted by Grant with cruelly and oontempt. Tbe Houlbern wblte may expeet little sympathy from him; tbe Southern negro need expect none. It will be a bad government in the Sonth as bad as can be. H ill. It w 111 be a government. Grant is not a man wbo will allow bis rule to be a nullity. Ha is much more likely to be a tyrant than a King Log. lie may be arbitrary, violent, vindictive: but be will not permit anarchy and a disregard of bis edicts and a tyrant Is better than a mot). B1NQKLEY. What He Thinks of Irremediable Errors. To the Editor of the Tribune. Hn Tbe edito rial notice jou bestow upon the factor the dis charge of all the parties wbo were accused by me os tbe 20lh of August last. Including Mr. I'pmrjolHSlpner Rollins, involve some inlaap- rebenslons of grave importance to the public The fact that the undersigned whs exoladtd from participation In tbe proeeoutlon before be bad time to adduce the evidence on whloh. in great quantity, be bad begun the proceeding, Is well known, but that by express direction of the Attornev-General be was exonerated from all responsibility for the subsequent management or the case is, perhaps, not suspected by yon. Tbe case, therefore. Is Identified with my name at Its close merely because It was began by me, not because I bad anything to do with It, It has been in no sense my case since It waa en trusted exclusively to other bands. , Again, yon appear to take It for granted that the operations wbloh I have conducted wltnln my own official sphere respecting revenue frauds are discontinued, and tbat my under takings in tbe premises at large have failed. This is by no means the case. They are In active progress, and lurnlsb a prospect of early and serious results. As tbe chief dlinoulty lain getting control of documentary and other proof, withheld through, tbe Influence of great numbers of persons of ofliolal and social standing, an Influence against which no headway can be made except by enconraglng witnesses to speak ont, I regret to say that the almost omnipotent press, un wittingly I hope, exert their power in a man ner wmch actually operates to proteot fraud. If yon believed that a lona flile attempt was making to break up those powerful combina tions of corruption which the press everywhere habitually denounce, tbere is no doubt you would support it with all your power. Now, It is at least possible tbat such an attempt is Disking In good faith, ir yon hid supported it mistakenly, tbe accused, tbe courts, the press everybody would have It in tnelr power to fionlsh the Impostors. Bnt what if you resist t mistakenly ? Even now consequences strik ing at tbe root of civil order are developing, wblch only the powerful support of the press conld have rendered possible. Consider, sir. Whether yon might not possibly bo committing a great and irremediable error. Respectfully, John M. Bincklky. New York. Oct. 8, 1168. OBITUARY. General William Oaten. The death of General William Gates took place In New York olty on Wednesday last, at the ripe old age of eighty years. Deceased en tered the Military Academy in 1801. and gra duated In 1806, when he was promoted to a second lieutenancy in an artillery regiment, and did garrison duty until the boxlliltles be tween the Unltea States and Great Britain took filaje, In 1812, when he was advanced to a first leutenancy, and was engaged In the capture of Toronto (then York), Upper Cauada, and In the bombardment of Fort George. After the settlement of tbe then existing dtilloullles. be served In garrison and frontier duty and rose through various grades of his profession. During the troubles of South Carolina In 1832-itt, wnen nullification was threatened in the Palmetto State, General Gates, then Major of 1st Artillery, was stationed at Fort Moultrie In Charleston Harbor. He took an active part in nearly all the Indian troubles, and when the war with Mexloo broke out be accompanied tbe 81 Artillery a Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1846, and tor two years sub sequent, be acted as Governor ot Tampioo, Mexico. Slnoe then he did many years' ser vice in 1863 and was bre vetted Brigadier-General In 1865 for long and faithful services, Gda ral Gates waa one of tbe old school one of the few remaining links tbat connect nswltn tbe past, He was engaged tor over half a century in the service of his country, and be has at lengta retired to that conch or rest from the sleep of whlcb there comes ni waking. General Adam J Slemmer. General Adam J. Slemmer, commander at Foil Laramie, died at his post on Wednesday, of heart disease. He was a native of Mont gomery county, Penn., tbe grandson of a sol dier of tbe Revolution. He graduated at West Point in 1850, and was assigned to tiutyln tbe 1st Artillery, and ordered to Florida, to hold the Seminole Indians in cheok. Having been promoted for gallantry In bis encounters with the Semlnoles, be was ordered to Ban Diego, California, and thence lo Fort Yuma. Next be was ordered to Fort Moultrie, Charles ton Harbor, and soon thereafter was in vited by Superintendent Bache to Join tne Coast Survey; but the absence of the Secretary of War from his Bureaup re vented, and before tbat officer could return and give bis assent to the transfer, the Superintendent ot the" West Point Academy had made a requisition for Lieutenant Slemmer's services as a leaober in that institution. He served four years In that capacity, and wai again ordered to Fort Moul trie, and subsequently to tbe Peusaoola Station, where he was put in command. Lieutenant Slemmer married the accomplished daughter of tbe Rev. John Reynolds of the Episcopal Church, once a Chaplain in tbe navy. Tne thunder-burst of tne Rebellion found Lieu tenant Slemmer with a small garrison in Fort McRea. Hastily gathering from the Navy Yisrd a few troops wbo had proved faithful among the faithless, and Joining to these a force of marines from the war steamer Wyandotte, then in Pensacole Bay, be tnrew himself, with his little force, numbering only about, eighty men, Into Fort Ploaeus. He had secured himself against immediate attack fiom Fort McRea, on shore opposite and about a mile distant from Fort Pickens, by destroying all the ammunition that was not locked in the magazine of the former fort, and by spiking the t una and ramming the tomplons so firmly into ibe muzzles tbat they had to be bjreJout. Lieutenant Slemmer beld Fort Pickens while President Buchanan was temporizing with the Rebels, nnlil the LSlb of April, 1861, without re Inforcements, rtjeoting meantime a Reoel offer of 12000 and a commission In the Bebel army, and $500 to every private in his oommand, If he would surrender this key to the Gulf or Mexioo. Lieutenant Slemmer oommanded until the 20th of A prll, when be yielded precedence to Colonel Brown, wbo had been aent to provision and amply garrison the fort. A like honorable career in tbe subsequent history of the war yielded promotion after promotion, until he attained to tbe high oflloe whloh be beld at the lime af bis death. CONNEGTIO UT. Democratic Mathematicians) Do Some Wonderful figuring. In speaking of the remarkable aptitude of the Democracy for figuring out gains wbloh clear headed people don't see, tbe Hartford Joal gives tbe following: Figuring is tbe forte of Democracy Just now. With a Republican gain or 6000 In the majority in Vermont, tbey set to work to figure out that wltb corresponding changes in every State in tbe Union they should elect Seymour. Maine came down upon them with her Republican msjorlty almost doubled with a gain of 0000 and they worked up the figures so successfully as to show that If the same progress was made by tbe Democrats In the otner Slates as they had made la Maine, Seymour and Blair would be triumphantly elected. Now they have the town elections in Connecticut to figure on. These show large Republican gains in nearly every town, a gain In tbe aggregate of from two to three thousand, and a net gain of twelve towna In tbe State. Cut of these oheerful sta tistics our Democratic friends of the lme$ and Ktoiiter gather the greatest encouragement lor tbe party. Tbey are beginning now lo bellave there will be no opposition to Sevmour and Blair. Tbe Times telegraphed to the WorlU Mon day night that with such piogress as tbese re turns ludicHted the Democrats would carry tbe State by 6000 majority. And, verily, It would not be a matter of surprise if, oue week from to-day. after Pennsylvania, Iudtona, and Ohio have all given handsome Republican majori ties, these lancy flgurers and lightning calcula tors should Inform their reader tbat it was ail oue way , aud it was very doubtful If Grant and Col lax got a single vote. Well.now.wbaloan you call ibis sort of thing? We bate to pronounoe ltlylDg. But. after all, what else is It T It isn't evusloh, prevarication, equivocation, exaggera tion, or any other allon tbat we know of. ex cept deliberate falsification. When tbe editor of the Times sits down, with tbe knowledge of a net Democrallo loss In tbe towns ot Hartford and New Haven of nearly 1000 votes, and of tbe fact that the Republicans have made gains in a MHjorltyof tbe towns, gaining entirely ten or twelve towns, wberetbe Demoorats have gained but one, and undertakes to show fiom suon figures that the Democratic majority In tbe State wonld reach 6000 what do you call HT If it isn't lying, tbe word hatn't been invented that covers the case. A Savoyard schoolmaster la bo horrified at bearing the name of Boobefort that he has applied for permission to change it.

Shocking Affair An Insane Father mur ders tils Two Nona, Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Boston, Oct. 9. Mr. John Richardson, of the firm ot Richardson A, Co., well-known exchange brokers tn this city, arose trom his bed at about one o'clock this morning, laboring under a fit of insanity, and cat tbe throats of two of his chil dren while thoy were asleep. The eldest, a boy of thirteen years, died immediately, bat It is hoped that the younger may recover. Mr. Richardson escaped in bis night-gown, and has not yet been found. He has probably made way with himself. Lateb. Mr. Richardson was found at day light this morning; in a barn adjoining his resi dence, a raving maniac. The affair has thrown profound gloom on 'Change, where Mr. Richard son Is well known and highly esteemed. Ills extensive business is said to have been the cause of his Insanity. He was preparing to go abroad for his health. It is ascertained iroji one of the members of M r. Richardson's family, that atter cutting the throat of his eldest son, who was lying sleeping In his room adjoining that of his parents, Mr. Richardson attempted to also kill his youngest eon in a like manner, bat the child's screams having awakened the mother, she finally suc ceeded, at the peril of her own life, in forcibly separating them. Mrs. Richardson states that her husband seemed for a moment cousclous of his terrible deed, and Immediately rushed from the house. From Mr. Richardson's appearance when cap tured it was evident that he had jumped over, board into the harbor, as his night-clothes were wet. He wandered around Longwood, his residence, and probably succeeded in secreting himself in his barn after daylight this morning, as it was locked previous to that time. He remains entirely unconscious of his deed, and has been sent to the Insane Asylam this morn ing, at Booierville, Mass. FR 0M BALTIMORE. Itonglis Colonizing- in Pennsylvania A Sew Planet.

New York, OoU 9 At half past 10 o'oloek this morning Howell Cobb, of Georgia, dropped dead In the corridor of th e Fifth Avenue Hotel. Sketch of Howell Cobb. Howell Cobb, whose sudden death Is an nounced In the above despateh, was a native Georgian, having been born at Cnerry Hill, Jefferson county, In that State, on the 7th of September, 1815. He had therefore Just completed his fifty third year. While a child bis father removed to the town of Athens, Georgia, whloh has slnoe been his place of residence. He waseduotted aiFranklln (Jollego, Athens, where hegraduated in 1831. He then tnrned his attention to tne study of the law, and was admitted lo the bar In 1836. The first office held by him was that of Sollol-tor-ueaeral of the Western Circuit ot Ueorgla.to which position he was elected by tue Legisla ture In 1837. He beld the office for three years, and during that period laid the foundations of an extensive and luoratlve practice. In 1813 commenced his long and stormy Congressional career. He was elected a member of tue House of Representatives four times In suoosislon, serving front 1813 to 1851, holding the position of Speaker during his last term, that of the Thirty. first Congress. During the whole of this period he was one ot the boldest and most efficient leaders of the extreme Southern party, and by his unquestioned ability and strength of character ranked as a leader of that party. As tbe result ol the compromise mea sures of 1850, a strong opposition lo hloi and his parly was developed lubls native ttuie, but at the expiration of his Congressional tour he was elected Governor of the fc-tate by an overwhelming vote. His term as Governor was for two years, and at its expira tion he resumed the praotloe of the law until 1855, when he was again elected a member of Congress. In the campaign of 1856 he stomped several of tne Northern States for Buebanan, and was rewarded with the position of eo ro tary of the Treasury In tbe letter's Cabinet. Since that period he has figured so prominently as a leader of the great pro-slavery Demo cratic Rebellion, as a member of the so called' Confederate Congress, and a Brigadier-General in tbe Rebel army, that his record is yet fresh in the minds of the people. At the o!ose of tho war, like many of bis kindred spirits in rebel lion, he failed to reoognlze the results of tbe war, and was still to be ranked as a disguise J, 11 not an open enemy, of tbe Union.
