A number of brethren from other jurisdictions, coming as tribes and delegations, participated in the parade. Onondago Tribe, No. 10, of Washing ton, -Pocahontas Tribe, No. 3, and Towhatan, No. 6, of Baltimore, arrived early this morning In a steamer chartered for the trip. Onondago and Powhatan TtHh were received by and will be the guests of Chippewa Tribe, No. 61. Chippewa Trile also enter tained Ottawa Tribe, No. 15, of New Jersey. Poca hontas, No. 3, of Baltimore, were the guests of Poca hontas, No. 6, of this city. Lenape Tribe, No. 6, of Delaware, was entertained by Minerva Lodge, 79. Inni Lenape Tribe, No. 2. of New Jersey, are the guests of the Coquannoclt Tribe, of this city. The tribes all made an excellent appearance, but did not turn out in any great numbers. The mem bers marched four abreast, were dressed in dark clothes, and wore different colored sashes. The Great Council of the I'niied States, in full regalia, occupied seats in carriages. The procession was well supplied with music, nearly every organization having possession of a baud. The banners and dags in line were numerous, showy, and much admired. The Kuqiicnake Tribe, No. 4, carried a handsome United States Hag, presented to tqcm by their lady irieuds previous to lorming in line. Mohawk Tribe, No. 14, also bore in line a beautiful ting. The Cherokee Tribe, No. 19, carried a banner with a representation of a mau saving a woman from drowning. This was ono of the many handsome banners in the procession. The Pequod Tribe, No. IS, had a large banner re presenting an Indian council. The Lennl Tribe, Ne. 48, carried a handsome ban tier, representing Freedom, Friendship, and Love, the motto of the order. The visiting tribes turned out stronger than some 1 the Philadelphia organizations. They all pre sented a neat and showy appearance. The Poco hontas ami Powhattan Tribes.tfroin Delaware, and the seven tribes from Marylund, were deserving of especial mention. Their appearance, numbers, etc., was an evidence of their attachment to the order they represented. Trie Tuscarora Tribe, No. 29, of Chester, made a remarkably flue appearance, and was much ad mired. The procession was a success, and was witnessed by a large number of persons. The Exercise nt the Rink-An Oration by Wll Hum 11. ItHMon. At the conclusion of the parade, the participants entered the Skating Rink at Twenty-third and Chcs nut streets, to listen to the orations of the day. After a prayer, M. II. Gorham, Esq., of this city, welcomed the visiting brethren, and then William II. Barton, Esq., of Trenton, New Jersey, was intro duced.' Mr. Barton commenced his oration by alluding to the Joyf ulness of the occasion, and said : The scenes which surround ns to-day, the recollections of the hour, and the object which have called us together, will all have a tendency to create In our hearts new aspirations, and give us a higher idea or our duty. We shall lose nothing by thus assembling, if we rightly appreciate the advantages arising from the occasion. Idle curiosity may have brought a few here, while the many have been induced to come through a sense of duty, and to perform a service they feel they owe to the Order. Encouragement Is what we need from the world it is our duty to court encouragement In the same spirit In which we expect or desire to have it given. Let the teachings we have received within the walls of our respective council rooms direct us in the discharge of every duty Imposed upon us, that we may thereby show to the world that there is some virtue in the prisciples which underlie our beloved Order, and which we have pledged ourselves to protect aud practise. Thos living, and thus rating, we shall reflect credit upon our Order, and make for ourselves names of Which neither wu nor our posterity will be ashamed. The speaker then defended secret organizations of ft charitable character, aud after alluding to the time- iii.aored custom of celebrating notable anniversa ries proceeded to give a detailed und lengthy sketch of 'the history Of t"6 Improved Order of Hod Men, d caking as follows: All the evident that can be fathered tonehinfr its riion points to Fort Mifflin, on the Delaware river, as the ulut-e where the first society was orgaoited. and 1413 the iearinwlii'htliehTHt Council lire was kindled.

At Um cloae of the war the aoriety ia the fort waa Deoeeaarily aban rioaori, its original nbiect having ceaaed. and the vnlaoteers being compelled to anparate and retnrn to thpir h. mica. Bnt the principles inculcated by that eockrty had made a last ing imnreaainn upon their heart, and they found, after thny had resumed the pmoefnl por. ruits of life, that they eonld not resist the charms of asso ciation, which seemed to hae complete control otbt them. They determined, or at lenst, many of them did, to eftect the reorgnnirnttnn of the society based upon the pure prin ciples of friendship. Accordingly, some time during the year 117. a rail was inserted in one or more of the nowr papers of Philadelphia for a conncil of Red Men, which resulted in the organisation of what was sibsquently known as the Tribe of (.lumbia, of the Society of Rod of rennnylvama. Hut. snliseqmintly, owing to a corroding element which waa Introduced into the so ewty, the tribe of (Jolniuhia. and also the branch tribes generally throughout the sevral KUtes, lost their power forgood. A certain document which hnsoome info tho Kisession of prominent members of the Order furnishes evidence of the fact. This document boars date April 14, ltil. but the decline of thesn societies did not take place until some time snbscqunnl. to that date. The Tribe of Ooltimbia must have bean rr-arded as the first regular society of Iid Men, and an having full authority, as such, to give a grant of power, bec iusn from the original manu. script petition of lull hirrh ivcr, AVivr WirV .V.n, bearing date the lath Moon, ls2o, for recoirnltion of the Mother Tribe in Philadelphia, we Iniirn that tlio Henvvolnnt Tribe of Nassau, in the village of Hwmklyn, islnnd of Nassau, and State of Now York, which Imd len previously organie l, nsked to he , recognized, aud received a grant of power from the Tribe of Colombia. It is a difficult mutter to give a true history of the Order, as the recorils of some of the societies have never boon found, and those thnt havo been found aro very Incom plete end indefinite. It. may ho possibln that regular societies of H ed Men existe.l prior to IHUI, but as there is no evidence to establish thin theory, we must conclude, from the facts already given. . hut 1h(:1 is the ve.ir in wliu li the first, regular society was nrgamred. Anil it may b possible, too, that regular societies existed between 1st:) and 1X17; but aa them is no evidence to establish this theory either, we must conclude from the documents n our possession that the Tribe of ( :olumbia was the firRt regular society of Red Men organized after the riis bandonmcnt of the volunteers at Kort Mittlin. After 1M7. societlil! were orained in New Jersey, Mary. IhikI, lielnware, and Now York. Hut these societies ap pear to have hud no connection with each other. Thoy had their own governments, and prosecuted their good work in accordance with their own rules. Of the (lutes of the organizstion of thce societies I do not. intend t speak, because I could not do it with any degree of satis faction to you or myself. It is enough to know that they existed, and that they all flowed from the samp original tonntniirlipaci tne Inbe ot i;olumbui, at riiihulo'phia. May 20, lKlfi, Is the date that marks a new era in the history of the Order. It was then placed upon a proper footing. A complete organization was effected. Tlnawas brought about bv a meeting of Past Chiefs, and repre sentatives elected for that purpose, who convened in the old wigwam tin Thames street, Fell's Point, Baltimore. After reciting the names os the participants in this convention, the speaker continued. The Order was now entirely shorn of its political charac ter: military succession and titles abandoned, and new onesadopted in their stead. Th organization was effected without regard to, or apparent knowledge of, the existence of the fraternity elsewhere. The Order, thus clothed with new power and proper authority, and taking for its motto, Freedom, Friendship, and Charity, started out into tho world upon its broad mission of love. The good it has ac complished since it was thus endowed can hardly be esti mated. Thousands of homes have been made happy through its ministrations. Many are tilling high places of trust to-day who never would have been known outside of the immediate community in which they lived, but for the good it wrought upon their hearts and the practical lesions it taught them. It has educated thousands of orphans and sent them on their way rejoicing. It has brought joy to many a widow's heart, land saved untold numbers from starvation and misery. Time would fail ine, my friends and brothers. to recount all ttio good it lias done. Ruthce it to say. that its history is already full of good deeds, and the monu ments of its ministrations urn to be seen everywhere. It now counts its membership by thousands, and on its rolls are found the names ot me of the best men in the land. My brethren of Pennsylvania, to you belongs great credit for tjie stand you have taken in behalf of the Order. It was a child of your own raising and nursing, and under your protecting care it grew up into the full stature of man. You nave defended it nobly irnm the slurs of those whose great glory it wonld be to see it go down and be numbered with things of the past. You have displayed a moral hero ism in upholding its principles as great as that which nerved the martyrs' hearta and bared the reformers' stal wart arms. That bravery which dares to be true to duty though the heavens fall, true when the world knows it not, true in the calm resolve of the midnight hour, when no eye but God's liKiks into the ami I. true when the world would applaud for being false, and every worldly interest should seem to oner a price lor cowaruice, is tne prouuost and aublimest of all human virtues. The speaker then eulogized the many virtues of Tammany, "the mighty warrior, the accomplished statesman, the pure aud high-mimled patriot,'' and continued : My Friends and Brothers, reflect if yon will, and tell me if you can could we have met together to-day for a higher object than the one which now claims our attention? To promulgate the principles of true benevolence and charity among men in the highest duty we can perform. This will do what war cannot do. for war, in its best estate and grandest achievements, ib wast, and must so be re garded whenever man shall at tuin to a recognition of a true and united manhood. Hut the principles of benevolence and charity operate differently. It is their province to subdue the passions of men ; lift them up nut of their low estate and clothe them in the beautiful garmentsof dignity and hnnor; to harmonize the conilicting opinions of men;to trample under foot all kinds of wrong and oppression; to beautify and adorn our common nature, to strew our path way tnrougn lite witn tne graceful memorials oi Kind ac tions performed : to crown all otirerTorts to benefit mankind w'th joy unspeakable and full of glory, and imbue us with tne graces oi i-nnstian culture; to erect palaces where art and science and Iparning mav assemble, and to establish cities whose very bells may chime their perpetual praises. In concluding his address. Mr. liarton spoke as follows: The Order of Red Men is t he oldest, benevolent organi zation of American birth and growth. My brethren, let ns strive to make it the moit efficient one in the world. Yo can do it. if you resolve to be true to yourselves, true to our nuty, ana taittilui to your vows. L,et no trials cause yon to taller. Trials will come, and you must meet and bear them. They come sometimes to test men's faith and each them that there are no pleasures ao aweet as those earned by effort, and no victories so glorious as those won by bard lighting and much sacrifice. One bright and . .. : . i. . . i ...... l . . sailed with a nappy group; fathers, mothers, children. and lovers were grouped upon her decks for a day of pleasure. Her banners floated gaily in the breeze, and 'she walked the waters like a thing of life." Presently t here was a whisper of "lire in the hold." The captain quietly gave orders to the crew, and efforts bv them were made to quench the flames, but in vain. He then organized all the men in the boat into lines of fire com batants, and though they totignt it Dravely, the flames yet increased. Agonized mot hers clung to their children, wives clung to their husbandB, and despair was depicted on every countenance. An old, rough, and weather-beaten pilot waa at tne huim. r.nvoioped in smoke, his nerves were yet steady. The captain, as the boat was n earing the shore, sang out, "John Maynard, can you hold out a little longer?" A voice came back in reply, ' ru try, sir." The curling, wreathing fire crisped his hair, shrivelled one band, and then the other; and yet he hold on. The boat was beached, the passengers saved! but where waa honest John Maynardy tione to his reward among the beautified angels of (iod.

Phillips Prooks then preached the annnal nennon, taking as his text, Kxodus xxvm vis. :- rohroinrn."nA5JT,?:,!1' ""m the hem of the ihthbi,d,;iinoc.',or' "s: The reverend speaker, after opening the subject bydeUillng the appearance and properties of the fomeprannte, likening the Church to it. proceeded by calling the Church the accumulator and deposi tory of spiritual truth. All true spiritual vitality, however, is an Inflow from God toman. Christ Is the way, the troth, and the Upht What we call spiritual life is nothing bnt the work of the Spirit upon the soul. When, this work has reached Its fulness, then the Christian is ready and able to give of his life to others, Just as tho fulness of the life of the pomegranate seeds are conceived to produce voml.ig rruit. The spiritual life comes from fhrlst to the individual, to the soul of the man, not to the Church, for the Church, as such, has no soul. There are two souIh two only (Jod s and mans. Consequently the communion must tie between these souls. The Komtsh bleats that the Church itself contains this spiritual light, life, and truth the Protestant Idea is ttiattheChiirchisbuttlic aggregate and compound of the light, life, and truth In the souls of her Individual members. Hut. the Church must, make progress, and It ought to know exactly what that progress should be, '1 he Church ncikes progress, in the tlr-d plucc, by retaining Intact all I he truths aud doctrines of Scripture: then by developing a stricter and pur.T morality. Again by descending to a more healthful simplicity, not necessarily exclusion or all forms, but the rejection of any form.no m after how venerable.Mio moment-It interferes with the freecomm inionof the soul of man with the soul of his Maker. A form of service which does not aid this communion Is worse than sham: It Is a positive hurt, and should at once be laid aside. The sensuous impression may have some effect upon the worshipper, but It Is oniv tran sient aud comparatively worthless. The Church wants more of the life or Christ more or pure and unostentatious religion. Notwithstanding her won derful capacities and resources, her educational system, tier parish meetings, her misxlans, she still needs something over ami above all these: she wants Christ as u lire power, to guide her, to teach her the proper work In which she should engage, tttiu give tier success. The church svslem must be aflame with holy zeal and truth, or It Is dead. Unless thus alive herself, how can she make a dead world live? At the present time the Church stands in the greatest danger of materialism. We seek rat her to amend and alter canons and rubrics and forms than to acquire more of tho life of Christ. This will never attain any good. Woe to us if, when men ask ns "What does the Church most need?'' we answer, "An amendment of her forms." By adhering to these, to this machinery, we become mere tools; we no longer are disseminating a true and pure (Jospcl. We must come down aud stand upon the very soul of the matter. As formalists we are unreal to the world, and the world passes us by without being made the better bv con tact with us. The Church has not yet learned that it is her function to lay the strict rod upon the im morality of the present age, to set herself In stern array against the Ickedness of the world, she pal liates and excuses. The speaker closed by eloquently repeating a hymn Illustrating his subject. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Holy Com munion was admiuistered. IlisUop Stevens then read his annual address, tie tailing his labors for the conventional year. He ordained 101 persons, continued W84, delivered sermons and udtlresses, ordained 1300 to the dca conate. attended a funerals, opened 2 churches, cele brated S marriages, installed 1 rector, and laid 1 corner-stone. For over two months during the year he was incapacitated from attending to his official duties by reason of accidents and resulting illness. This hiatvK made sad havoc with plans of labor he had marked out. still he missed but u single ap pointment which he had made during the entire year. The uisnop referred to tne extreme extent or the diocese, saying that It required more labor than any one than had the capacity to give. He spoke untualilietlly in favor of a division of the dio cese, but also stated that any agitation or tne sub ject at the present convention was uncalled for, and could produce no good result, since tne success or defeat of the measure depended upon the General Convention. It could be far better settled a year and a halt or two years hence than now. He depre- ated any further mention of the subject at tho present time. He stated that the Hoard of Missions was doing a good und noble work; that It was spreading in in fluence, might ami power; its province m the Church In better understood, and more wisely appreciated. Eive clergymen or this diocese died (luring the con ventional year, and twenty-six removed to other dio ceses. One has retired from the ministry at his own retiuest- Through the liberality of Mr." J.

There are m i-ie '14 ministers in the Diocese whose daughters ind 'n need of such assistance to enable them to pns-u . (rood edu cations. The advantage of each parish In the diocese having its own parsonage was referred to; the state ment iiemg made tnat lt ciiurcnes in this city now possessed such dwellings for their pastors. The claims of the city missions and the city missionaries were tnen warmly advocated. At the conclusion of the Kishop's address, the roll was called, and the convention adjourned until 5 I'. M.

This morning was the last general rccep- lon or otllce-seekors, their friends anil petitioners, at the Mint, A big crowd of gentlemen were pre sent, and not a few young and middle-aged ladies graced ponions of tho line in waiting. The Director was at his post, punctually at the hour set apart for the "ceremonies," and in his usually nriiano man ner neartl tne cases or tne applicants as tney came before him, giving to each a patient hearing, and filing the petition and recommendations for future reference. In the time allowed for the reception of applicants, from 10 to 12 o'clock, over mty people were seen by the Director and their claims listened o. As there are but few positions yet to bo tilled and the applicants number legion, this will probably be the last reception given to the anxious.

Several prominent bankers in Wall street, New York, have addreised letters to Secretary Boutwell, asking an explanation of his recent order in relation to the purchase of bonds.

The Secretary has not yet determined what action he will take in the pre mises. The Knropenn Alliance. The announcement hero that iv despatch had been received by cable stating that it is rumored that England, France, and Spain had formed an alliance against the foreign policy of tho United States, has created a good deal of excitement in Government and diplomatic circles. Tho state ment 1b not generally credited, especially by the members of the Cabinet and the President. Representatives of England, France, and Spain, now here, have no official information on the subject, or that any such alliance at all was contemplated. If it should prove corret, It will not change the policy of the Administration in any respect, as it is believed that none of the parties to the affair can afford to go to war with the United States, all of them having as much on hand as they can attend to iu their respective dominions.

Ills Siicecli nt the Antl-Slnvery Anniversary lit New York. The fi (lowing is the speech delivered by Wendell rnllllps at Steinway Hall, in New York, at the anni versary meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society, yester day: Arter an allusion to the rise and process of tho anti-slavery movement in this country, and the atim culties and dangers it encountered, he said : To-day you can hardly step otr the platform without meeting a man who says, "Why, what more is there for you to do? Where do you und a pretense to come together t What right have you to mention anti slavery? I cannot see for the life of me what you f et up to interest youselves in." It is agreat change, t is a glorious revulsion. Everything that is respect able in literature is on our side (applause) every Journal of any character that, at the basis of all ltd arguments, takes for granted that the anti-slavery movement has either accomplished its whole pledge, or is so near It that there is no interest in the matter at alL The Church we did not see much of the Chnrch In those days, or hare much of its sanction we used to prophesy that when the work was done, it would come in and say it did it. The Church also is now with us. But the most marvellous, the most notice able point of all is that the Government, from the President in the White House down through all its channels, is on our side. (Applause.) We have lived to see the day when the President of the I'nited States, in his Brst communication to Congress, tells the nation that no other path is open tor it except to ignore color, ((iood.) We have lived to see the day when the Hoard of Brokers of this city hus thrown open Us door to a negro, the Lieutenant-Governor of a Southern State. I say that the attitude of the Government to-day on this question Is the most notice able element in the present situation of atlairs, because in this country in all countries, but especially in this country everything shapes itaelf in time on the model of the existing government. I know, of course, social prejudice; I know the rule of the saloon; I know the caste that mingles in the Church; I know the flavor of sarcasm that still poi sons uierauire; i Know me prejudice against tne colored man that reBts in the blood of the white race. I do not forget them a moment. Rut when I go to history, I find that after the house of Hanover had come on to the British throne it was fashionable, it was "the thing," as the French say, It was literary, for a century later, to be a Tory, to adhere to the Stuarts. Old families met under ancient roofs and pledged the Pretender, and fashionable dameB laughed In fashionable circles at the vul garities of the new rentmc Sir Walter Scott, as late as his day, had all his heart on the side of the Stuarts. The deepest bumpers were drunk, the heartiest pledges were made to the exiled house. Hut all that was strong aud living and productive in Kngland was clustering around the new throna. The energy of Bristol, the trade of Birmingham, the wealth of London, the strong sense of the general people, were at the foot of the throne, aud after a while England flung off the disease, the bail blood escaped, and now no one knows anything in England but the popular House of Hanover. Ho it Is here. In cut-of-tne-way places, in the musty study of the Doctor of Divinity, in the lumber-room and empty attic of the fashionable worn .in, which she calls her mind, there is a sort of unexpressed prejudice against the black man; and literary boys fancy themselves Hawthornes, and eminent writers, when they get off a gibe against the negro; and so all through many circles for fifty years to come you will find the jrhost hauuting his old home. But in the meanwhile this strong, living heart which makes the nation, its growing wealth, the mind that takes up the problem of the age, the hand on the helm that gives direction to the policy of the nation, the American that stands In the broad sunlight of day and does not worship cobwebs you will find that force is moving in one direction. This is my hope, you will see the colored man in the capital, in the Senate Chamber, in the House of Representa tives, carrying the banner of the republic all over South America and Central America. If there is any man that I thoroughly pity contempt Is too positive an emotion for him It is the man that Is proud of his white skin, the man that affects to endeavor t see the possibility of founding an empire upon one race. In all countries a position is stronger than wealth, religion, or literature. In other countries it Is hereditarv wealth, titular honors, the throne, that set the fashion. But in this country we have no class distinguished thus artificially. The only thing that can lift a man above the level is oillce, and the young man shapes himself In tho senator; the poli tician looks up to the statesman, the wire-puller to the politician. And so what the government 1b and docs flows down Into the church. Into literature, and into society, and to a great extent shapes them. I feel, therefore, thut since we have got Washington on our side we have got also religion, literature, and society. Thomas Jefferson, tho framer of the Declaration of Independence, was wont to say when he heard of some uprising of au oppressed people: "When will the consequences of the Declaration of Indepen dence end ?" So I expect, as the comfort of inac tive and weary years, if (Jod gives them to me. that I shall see the representatives of this oppressed race In the Cabinet or Washington, and hear or them sending out some black descendant or a Louisiana or Georgia plantation as an ambassador, who shall draw a circle round Francis Joseph or Napoleon, and In the name of the great State of the West shall order that before they shall pass that lino every race within the bonier of their territory shall be guaran teed their natural rights In the normal constitution of the country; and then, lining up my hands, like Jeflerson, with proud, trembling voice, 1 slmll say; "When will tho consequences of the anti-slavery movement get to their goal 1" (Loud applause.)
