The first business session of the Triennial Gen eral Convention of the Protestant 'Episcopal Church of the United States orroned yesterday at Trinity Chapel, on West Twenty-fifth streel,near Broadway. The Convention meets in obedience to article one of the Constitution of the Church, originally adopted at Philadelphia on the 2d day of October, 1789, and since revised and lastly amended by the General Con vention of .1841. It provides "that thereshall be Geeeral Convention of the Protestant Episco pal Church in the United States of America on the first Wednesday in October in every third s.ear from the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundre4 and forty-one, and in such place as shall be determined by the Convention. The House of Bishops met at the schOol-house, in the upper ball, but the doors were closed to all ex cept the members and officers of the house, and no report of their proceeding except that they completed their organization for business could be obtained. The Rouse of the Clerical and Lay Deputies met at ten o'clock A. M. in the nitveot the chapel. The proceedings opened by the reading of the morning prayers by Bishop Talbot, of Indiana, assisted by Bishop 'Neely, of Maine, B and benedic tion was said by Bishop mith,of Kentucky, and a psalm, commencing "Praise God. ye servants of the Lord," was sung by the merribers assem bled. Before the meeting proceeded to business some time was occupied in dis tributing tickets of admission to the several deputies from the dioceses in attendance, but, an Insufficient number having been printed, this work had to be suspended. At about eleven o'clock the Rev. Dr. Cralk, of Ken tucky, took the chair. Rev. Mr. Sperry acted as secretary, and Rev. Messrs. Rodgers and Mitchell were announced as having been ap pointed first and second assistant secretaries re tpectively. Rev. Dr. Mead, of Connecticut, pre- IA the petition from the newly organized diverse of Nebraska for admission into the Union et the Church, and advocated its reference to the Btattding Committee on New Dioceses. Rev. Dr. Littlejohn, of Brooklyn, read a series of statistics towing the amount of work done for establish lug and increasing the Church in that far off State of the churches and colleges founded and the increasing number of converts and communi cants, and strongly favored the prayerof the pe— tition, which was referred as moved. The Rev. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, presented a memorial from that diocese raying for the amendment of the — obstrctecive Canonleallaws of 1789, as to the reception of new dioceses, and to adopt such measures as will expedite their ad mission. The Doctor stated that other dioceses end intended to present similar petitions, and on his motion the subject was referred to the Com mittee an Canons. The is w alluded to is to be found in article five of the 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 convention; that there cannot be less than fifteen self-sup porting dioceses, with thirteen presbyters, who :•ball have been at least one year ordained, and no city to form more than one dlocese i givink the bishop of a diocese the power to choose which diocese he will belong to in case of a division, and directs that new dioceses shall be subject to he constitution and canons of the new diocese. The change proposed is to the effect that every large city should be constituted an episcopal see, with the surrounding country as a tributary diocese. The Rev. Dr. Mahan, of Maryland, presented a memorial in favor of the provincial system of di oceses, which was referred to the Committee on Canons. The Rev. Dr. Benjamin L Haight, of New York, then submitted the memorial for a division of the diocese of New York, which was referred to the Committee on New Dioceses, and also the plan for a federate council—referred to the Committee on Canons. It will be recollected that this memorial and plan formed the principal subject of debate at the diocesan convention held last week at St. Paul's church in this city. The memorial proposes the adoption of the following canon as a new law of the Church : It is hereby declared lawful for the dioceses now existing, or hereafter to exist, within the limits of any State or Commonwealth, to establish for themselves a federate convention or council, re presenting such dioceses, which may deliberate and decide upon the common interests of the Church within that State, and exercise any dele gated powers not inconsistent with the constitu tion and canons of this Church. In witness where of, we have hereunto put our hands, on this 2d day of October, in the year of our Lord 1868, in the city and diocese of New York. And the "plan" submits the following proposed form of organization of this federate council sys tem, as adopted by the diocese of New York on the 2d of October last: I. Whenever the General Convention shallhave passed a canon authorizing the formation of a federate council of the dioceses within this State, the bishop 'of the mother diocese, with the assent of the major part of the bishops of the other dio ceses, shall call the Primary Council of the several diocese:S. IL The said Primary Council shall take order BB to the organization of a federate council of the said dioceses, and as to all the necelißary regula tions for the conduct thereof. The said Primary Council shall consist, 1. Of the bishop's of the several dioceses within the limits of the State of New York. 2. Of eight clerical and eight layldeputies trom each of the dioceses, or of the deputies in such ratio of representation as may be determined by the General Convention, such deputies to be ap pointed by the,conventions of the dioceses re spectively. IV. In , the said Primary Council the bishops, the clergy andthe laity shall Vole — bfbrders, and no action shall be valid without the concurrence of a majority of each" order voting separately. And no plan of a permanent organization shall be binding upon any diocese unless with the con sent of tne Bishop and Convention of said dio cese. A notification was received that the Rev. Dr. Robinson had been elected Bishop of _Missouri, and the papers were referred to the Standing Committee on the Election' of Bishops. A me. mortal was also presented by Rev. Dr. Wheat, of Tennessee, analagons, if, not_ similar, in its na ture to that of Dr. Adams, and it was referred to the same committee. Standing committees were then appointed by the Chair /113 . follows: Upon the !State of the Church; Consecration of Bishops; Unfinished Business; Domestic and Foreign MissionarT Bn siness;,Elections; General' Theological Seminary; Canons; Christian Education; Prayer Books; Ex- penses. Another memorial, asking for a modification of article five of the constitution, was presented by Mr. George P. Lee, and similarly referred as the others on the same subject. Rev. Mr. Crosdale naked consent far the erection of a new diocese in Maryland, and the prayer was referred to the -Committee on New Dioceses. Another memorial for the modification of article five of the constitution was presented by the Rev. Dr. Watson; of North Carolina, and was also referred to the Committee on canons. The Rev. William H. Clarke, of Georgia, offered a memo rial asking fora change in the name of the "Ge neral Convention" to "General Council," and a memorial by Rev. Dr. Cross, of Texas; for a di vision of dioceses which are now too large, were also referred to the CoMmlttee on Canons. A re solution that the rules of order of the last Ge neral Convention be adopted as the rules of the present body,and that 400 'copies be printed,with a list of the names of the deputies, for the.use of the Convention, was carried. At this stage, It being one o'clock, the Convention took a recess of twenty minutes. On reassembling Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of Penn sylvania, moved that three thousand copies of the sermon of Bishop Lee, of Delaware, delivered at the solemn opening of the Convention on Wednesday, be printed.. An amendment pro-. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1868. Dosing that the number be fifteen hundred, was adopted by the mover. On this motion quite an animated debate sprang up, many opposing it, and from the arguments used It became apparent that it was not the expense of the printing %bleb induced deputies to object, bat rather the doctrinal declarations contained in the sermon. Several clerical gentlemen announced themselves opposed to them; among them Rev. Dr. Mead said that he disagreed with the Right Reverend Bishep tote codo, but out of courtesy he would tote to have it printed. Mr. John N. Cony:wham, of Pennsylvania, took the ground that if the Con vention should put the stigma on the sermon of refusing to print it it would only be read the more and the influence of what are believed to be erroneous doctrines of the Bishop would only be heightened. A motion by Mr., Wallace, of Mis souri, to lay the subject on the table failed, and the resolution was finally adopted as, amended by the mover. Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky, moved for a committee of three to select a betterhall for the meeting of the House, as the experierice of the day had proved the acoustics of the chapel to be defective, it being impossible at the farther end to heat one-half of what is going on. Tee reso lution was adopted. The mover, Rev. Dr. Mahan, and Dr. Abercrombie were appointed such com mittee by the chair. Resolutions of grateful remembrance of the eminent services and regret at the death of the following gentlemen were Cheri passed :—Ezekiel F. Chambers. LL. D.; Rev. H. M. Mason, D.D.; Hugh Davey Evans, LL. D., and John Alex ander, D.D. Mr. George C. McWhorter, of Western New York, offered the following, seconded by Mr. Hamilton Fish: Resolved, That this House place upon its records the expression of its gratetul recollection of the high Christian character and valuable services in behalf of the Church or the Hon. Washington Hunt. of Western New York (deceased since the last General Convention), for many years a mem ber of this House. In seconding the resolutions Governor Fish said that having for nearly a third of a century sustained intimate personal relations to the de ceased, he hoped that he would be allowed to say a few words in memory of his eminent character.. Mr. Hunt, he said, while earnest in his own con victions, was tolerant of all differences. Firm and decided to his opinions, be exercised s generous charity towards those -who were led to other conclusions; pure in his own thoughts and objects, he was slow to mistrust ; warm in his affections, be was ever ready in acts of friendship and deeds of kindness; with a large heart and open hand, he distributed his charities freely and wisely; with high and no ble aims of his own, his sympathies were ever with the hopes and• aspirations of others. In conclusion Mr. Fish referred feelingly to the great services Mr. Hunt had - rendered to the cause of religion and-the Church during -his- life-- time, and asked the unanimous adoption of the resolution. It was carried by the whole House rising in response to the call of the chair. Rev. Dr. Haight then proposed to ask the House of Bishops to take some suitable notice of the death of the Most Rev. Lord Bishop of Mon treal and Metropolitan of Canada, which was carried unanimously, after which the House ad journed to ten o'clock this morning.—Herald. Missionary Sermon In Calvary Church Cal Vary church, corner of Twenty-first street and Fourth avenue, was crowded last night,every seat being occupied by members of the Conven tion, of the Board of Missions and others, to listen to a missionary sermon by the Right Rev. Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia. There were some thirty bishops present, a number of whom had seats in the chancel. After the usual- evening service Bishop Beckwith ascended thrt. pulpit and delivered a very elaborate an exceed ingly well prepared sermon on the importance of missionary labors, the burden. f the whole being the injunction of the Saviour to the Apostles, "Go ye. therefore, and teach all nations, baptiz ing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and 10, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." (St. Matthew, xxviii, 19-20.) After a very eloquent exordium the right reverend speaker referred to the many difficulties that beset the Church, but under God and with the aid o divine Providence difficulties always become the stepping stone to assumed progress and advance ment for the church. There never was greater need for increased activity in the cause of the church than now'. The present age is fraught with mental recklessness and inquietude; skep ticism, rationalism, scoffing, irreverence for holy things, defiance to authority and ridicule of his toric precedent are spread broadcast over the world by a worldly press and are aided by the en deavor of one branch of Christianity to add to the creed new articles of faith, so that the worldly minded may well ask, like the untutored heathen, If Chris tians cannot agree among themselves as to the true faith. why should he leave his idol? While the world experiments with new systems Rome invents new dogmas. Worldly ambition tears down the safeguards of constitutions and up heaves the foundations of society, and this same tendency to violent innovation is visible in reli gion. In this condition of things the mission of the true Catholic Church, the Church which has pre served the faith of Christ in its primitive purity, is a high duty not to be neglected. The Bishop then commented on the mistaken idea so prevalent among a large portion of • the unthinking multi tude, that the tendency of church clinging with its faith and traditions to the vast was in oppo sition to the progressive spirit- of the age, and maintained that the Church is eminently adapted to all the wants of the world. He spoke •of the Church in the-Southern States sitting- a-mourner amid the sad memories of the past, surrounded by desolation and ruin, that there increasing poverty drives endurance to its last resort, that parishes have to be forsaken,and means will have to be provided to rebuild churches and endow pastors. The speaker then eloquently closed with elucidating that the burclini of advancing the destinies of nations is placed by God upon the Church, to effect which missionary labors must be encouraged."—Herald. lIITIJALISfII IN TENNESSEE. A Lively and interesting Quarrel. The Tennessee papers have recently contained Episcopal Bishop Quintard's Interdiction of the new ritualistic rites as administered in the church of the Blessed Virgin, at Nashville 2 by Rev. J.W. Rogers. The following is the closing part of the interdiction: Your ordination vows bind you to give "faith ful diligence, always so to minister the doctrine, sacrament and discipline of Christ as the Lord bath commanded,and as this. Church kath received the same, according to the commandments of God." I therefore require you to relinquish the said usages and practices; and you will under stand that they are officially interdicted by the Bishop of the Diocese, to whom you owe canoni cal obediensq,A.nd whom_y_on—have_s_worn verentlfto obey." Mr. Rogers in his answerdenies that In the use of incense, candles upon the altar,gorgeons vest ments, etc.,he has broken the laws of the.church, or that he is bound by his vows to obey every fancy of his Bishop. He charges the Bishop himself with being a Ritualist, and adds ' have labored for twenty-five years, *here I have _given. thousands of dollars to build 'nests' for you all." He then goes on to talk to the Bishop as man to man, as the reverend gentleman calls it, .and becomes rather more vulgar than polite. He says: I know full well, Right Reverend and dear sir, that such sentiments as I have expressed above are not pleasing to you. You would like me amazingly, and write many lettere to me, as you used to do, just before your election (some of which are now before me, in which you called me your dear "Jeeme," "my darling" and the like), if you could only use me; !put when, in other con troversies, hitherto, you fiinnd I would not bend against my own race and people; when in the St. Lazarus controversy, I persisted, through long years, against you, and carriedmy church into convention at last. -When In Eng land I exposed the circular which stated that 0500,010 had been expended in the build ings and lands of the University of th e South, for,, which you were begging mo- OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. ney, and • did it for the truth, without consulting my Bishop: When, in the midst of 11118 controversy, you recommended me in a private letter to Rev.

When I surprised you in my card, last Sunday, by showing that I knew of your being "cheek by jowl" with Rituallns and making speeches to them in "Bt. Mary Magda lene," when it was in your interest.

Rcspec'inhly, J. W. ILIDGEBS. tirant's Majority to be 742,000 in the otate. The Bridgeport Standird indulges in this gen tle jest. It is a burlesque of the Democratic Maine arithmetic: Looking at the Farmer's election returns, and seeing them headed by a likeness of Frank Blair pounding a bass drum, reminds us that we had well nighforgotten our ancient skill at ciphering, so we proceed to "brush up." Surveyor Beck with's brass instruments being engaged to-day upon the city sower works, we are compelled to rely solely on the Farmer's copper bound multipli cation tables, which will be found to say the least quite as reliable as ever. According.to the stand ard, there is very little chance for the Democracy in November. Look at the figures I Stamford gave, last Spring,. 23 Republican majority. Last Monday it gave 132 ditto. Republican gain, 109, or, 466 per cent. with, of course, a corresponding loss to the Democracy. Now, the Democratic majority in the State, last Sprint, was about 1,700. By entt!ng down this majority to the tune of 466 per cent., an event which the result in Stamford shows will inevitably take place,the De mocracy will gain an aggregate loss of 792,200 votes. This, deducting the 50,000 total votes cast by them in the State last spring, will leave them 742,000 votes worse off than nothing, and of course place the Republicans that much in the majority.. This calculation, we believe, is in the main correct, although there may be a slight va riation therefrom when the returns from Stam ford are all in. To meet this contingency, we will throw off the odd 200, and will only claim as "sure pop" a round majority of 742,000 for Grant and Colfax in Connecticut next month. To the Editor of the Bulletin: On last Satur day evening (Oet., 1860 there was -held - in this place a public meeting, purporting to be Demo cratic, but which was organized and spoken to by none but Copperheads. One of the speakers, J. Ross Snowden, in the course of his remarks, made use of the following in speaking of the army: "That he considered our soldiers in. the - field as great traitors as Jeff- Davis and his party." Now, what will the soldiers think of such language, coming, as it does, from Judge Woodward's clerk, and one, too, who has never been known to do anything all his life but hold office? Is be not a fit successor of Bob Tyler? The effect of the above remarks was that the meeting was somewhat disturbed by some of the soldiers who are home on leave for a few days, and the only thing to be regretted was, their being allowed to continue their meeting after such slurs cast upon men who are sacrificing their health, comforts, and life for the protec tion of the homes and lives of suchpolitical hacks as the above ex-Mint drop! By making the above public yon will oblige many of your friends in Holmesburg. B. ROLMESDUEG, Oct. 12, 140. The Roman Catholic Church and the Blacks. One of the decrees of the Catholic Synod which held its sessions in this city last week is devoted to the condition of the negroes. It leaves to the Archbishop the power either of Inviting negroes to the Catholic churches of the diocese, or of erecting churches expressly for their use. Here is an example which we trust our Irish adopted citizens will learn wis dom from. The Roman Catholic Church in all ages has recognized the black man BB the equal of the white man. The Pope receives, with the same honors, the African Roman Catholic that he does the Irish, English, French, German, Italian, American, or any other nationality. Tee Roman Catholic Church has never made any distinction on account of color. In this respect she has shown herself more democratic than any other denomination of Christians. She has fnile ,d however, to educate her children of Irish — birth up to the standard of equality which she has ever recognized. The Rpman Catholic bishops kneel at the same altar, and partake of the same sacrament with the poor black man, but our Irish adopted Roman Catholic citizen says that this same black man is unworthy to walk to the polls and vote with him. Let us hope that a better day is dawning for the regeneration of both races.—New York Commercial. Major- General Edward 31. M'Cook, of Ohio. a brave and gallant officer daring the war, and now United States Minister td the Sandwich Islands, in a letter dated Honolulu, August 29th, to Sena tor Conness, writes as follows: "The news of the Democratic nominations has arrived, and I think they are radically weak—the very weakest combination that could have been made; the war Democrats won't vote for Sey mour, because he is a Copperhead, and the Copperheads won't Vote for Blair, because he wore a blue instead of a gray uni form. Much to my disgust, I saw that a cousin of mine, George W. McCook, had proposed the name of Seymour to the Con vention, as "the man who would drive the Radi cal cabal at Washington front power," 4tc., &c. I am sorry I cannot be at home this fall, on George's account ; he is somewhat powerful on the stump in Ohio, and I would like to follow him, and neutralize the effect of his rhetoric, by stating the fact that he is the only one of all his name who supports Seymour and Blair, and the only male member of the family who was not in the Union army during the war. I shOuld, think the spirits of his dead father and brothers, who laid down their lives in defence of the Union, would haunt him I with continual reproaches. flank this a pretty fair illustration of me way things will go at the election : the soldiers will vote as they shot— against the rebels and copperheads and Demo crats still, as they always have been.

The Denver (Colorado) Tribune of the 4th inst. says An heroic frontiersman, named Fickey, who was thrice wounded by Indians on Plum Creek, came into town recently. It appears from his story that he was driving along one of the high ways of that region n in a lumber wagon, accom panied by his boy, some seven qr eight years of age, when suddenly the Indians surrounded him, cracking away with their grins and revolvers. Having a Spencer rifle with only one cartridge, he fired at the nearest, knocking him out of the saddle, then springing from the wagon, and telling the boy to lay down flat and whip the horses into a dead run, he clubbed his gun and began whacking at them right and left with all his might. A great many shots were fired at him, twee of which took - effect, but being flesh- wounds, failed to dis able him. He succeeded in mashing in the skull of one gentle savage, and otherwise damaging several others, and the enemy finding him a dan gerous fellow to fool with, Soon drew off their forces. He retreated in good order, keening his gnn constantly pointed at the foe. At length they charged him a second time, when the old tactics were resumed, to the complete discom fiture of the entire band. Fiche) , says there was one needle gun in the party, and the Indian having it took dead aim at him, and shot him ha the breast, but the ball struck a rib and turned off just under the skin. This is the third illustration we have heard of the fact that coolness and bravery will. accomplish the salvation of persons attacked by Indians. They instinctively admire and shrink from a brave white man. Cowards by nature they trem ble and retreat when a stout resistance is made, tacitly acknowledging the superiority of the An glo Saxon race, and the sneaking meanness of their own. DR&MAIrIeo --- - Little Mies Lotta has talent which--we sincerely wish could have wider application than it la likely to have while her impersonatiOnitof "Little Nell " and of the "Marchioness" attract such large audiences in every city. Both of these cha racters are given with spirit and ability, but the performance is disfigured by banjo playing, clog dancing and an ever present shadow of Ethi opian minstrelsy. These, however amusing, seem incongruous, and rob the personations of that fidelity to the familiar originals, which would make them even more charm mg. Lotta would succeed well in such characters as " Little ' Barefoot " and "Ti anchon," and indeed in every role in which youth and sweet simplicity are necessary. She would not please her audiences less, either. If she should carry into new _parts the peculiarities which distinguish her in "Little Nell," she would add fuel to the flame of enthusiasm which she invariably kindles. Possessing the kind of his trionic talent which is peculiarly adapted to the class of characters alluded to, it seems a pity that she should narrow her triumphs down to one successful representation, even though it be very delightful A single personation of '•Little Barefoot" would excite such warm praise that the play would remain forever in her re Porto e. - -If Mrs. Lander really desires to make her " Marie Antoinette " what Ristori made it—her greatest character—she must correct some of the faults which are very evident in the drama andln her representation of the character. In the first place a vast mass of the superfluous verbiage must be cut away from the text. The play is too wordy. It should be. more compact, and the progress of the action must be rapid, unchecked and without - tediousness. The plot can readily be developed without the play being prolix. Audi ences like continuous change, brief dialogues and a headlong pace in the movement of the scenes. "General Lafayette's" elevated patriotic senti ments might also be weeded out to a great ex tent. The allusions to the immortal George Washington, to America, and to American liberty, are very noble and intrinsically excel lent, but they do seem rather:forced in this con nection, and are obviously aimed' at the gallery. The historical inaccuracy involved in the introduc tion of the Tuileries mob into a grocery store in Varennes, will not shock any one who is not nice about precision and exactness, =I 'temp be pardoned, however great the violation of truth, for the timely relief afforded by the humor of the preceding scene. But Mm. - Lander needs to improve her persona tion, very excellent as it is. She is not dignified enough in many of the scenes.where queenly dig nity is especially demanded. She has a habit, it is nearly an objectionable mannerisrdof draw ing uo the corners of her mouth, upon all occa sions, and producing the effect of a smile, even when she has no intention of expressing pleas ure. We have observed this during the painful and very sad scenes which transpire in the Tem ple. It is doubtful if Marie Antoinette ever wore the semblance of a smile—or any but a very clad countenance in that place. Mrs. Lander is also, often inclined--to be-too--boisterous. -We hold to the opinion that intense passion is rarely loud, and that it can best be represented by quiet ness. Subdued rage is the most terrible... Mrs. Lander sins often in this respect, and the offence is greater, pecaups her-voice is not as well suited forvielence as for gentleness. We .make these remarks simply because we adrrdre the represen tation as a whole, and because, <believing that Mrs. Lander has -unusual ability, we desire that she shall see herself as othtirs see her, and correct faults which exclude her from the highest place in the histrionic sisterhood. —The musical critic of the New York Tribune— the most accomplished critic of the moat respect able newspaper in New York, seems to entertain about the same opinion of opera bows as that repeatedly urged in this journal.
