The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church closed its triennial session on Thursday last. Il was looked forward to with much solicitude by the great body of its own constituency, who hoped to sec. such results from its deliberations as would heal its internal dissensions and promote its effi ciency as one of the great agencies for Chris tianizing the world. It was also regarded with no little interest by many without its own fold, who had been led by the loud ut terances of some of its journals, and of some of the extremists of both wings of its mem bership, to suppose that the disruption of the Episcopal Church was to be the inevitable re sult of the doing or failing to do the things which 'these radical representatives of the High and Low Church parties were quarrel- ing about. On the one side there was to be a "Reformed Catholic Church" created, and on the other a "Reformed Protestant Epis copal Church," and there were timid and ig norant people on both sides who were sorely troubled on account of the calamities which they had been made to believe were inevi table. Twenty days of deliberation have passed away, and the Convention has adjourned. Petitions and memorials were poured in upon it in profusion. Learned doctors of divinity and eminent laymen consulted, talked, sug gested, talked, moved, talked, amended talked, debated, talked, cogitated, talked, voted, talked, and finally, after a little more talking, adjourned. And the people who Live been looking on the while go away whispering one to another: "Id °TAB parturient; nageitur riclieulus It is rather remarkable, when we come to consider the amount of talent which this General Convention expended "in laboriously doing nothing." There is no deliberative body in Aierica, secular or religious, embo dying a larger amount of cultivated intellect than this, and yet there was no single ques tion which has agitated the Episcopal Church during the last three years that was fairly confronted and manfully met. Scarcely a single important measure was adopted, or a single step taken toward allay ing the internal disturbances of the Church, or promoting its outward prosperity. After all its tremendous excitement, which was worked up by zealous partisans over the Stubbs-Tyng case, a very small tub was thrown to the whale, in the shape of a defini tion of an existing canon, that definition be ing precisely the one that every sensible per son, out of New Brunswick, has put upon it for many years past. The great question of Ritualism, the Convention could not be brought to face, and, after two days of very palpable dodging of the issue,the lower House appears to have seized Dr. Littlejohn's propo sition to postpone it for three years more, with a great gulp of satisfaction and relief As this was really the main business of the Conven tion, this disposition of the question argues a timidity which, though not unroresaen, is, nevertheless, not a little surprising. If the Convention is to be taken as a truly representative body, the conclusion must be accepted that there is a strong middle party in the Episcopal Church which firmly holds the balance of power. This party hold the standards, rubrics, articles, liturgy and gen eral usages of the Church in a broad, natural, common-sense, Protestant way, and do its work and minister at its altars, and preach in tb3 pulpits, thoroughly satisfied with the re ligion of their fathers in its old-fashioned, decent simplicity, having no fellowship either with the extravagances of Ritualism on the one band, or the eccentricities of what may be best understood by the generality of Our readers, ca Tyngism, on the other. And yet this middle party, while strong enough to prevent extreme action in either direction, sad with the =doubted backings of the great MAO of thO laity, WU not strong enough, or c;=mm Winthrop W.

X.f, this claim_ were ttil mirably expressed in the minority report pre sented by the Rev. Dr. Howe. But they were not adopted because there was not quite enough of the element of moral 'courage present in tie Convention to bring this vexed question to a settlement. • - - It larremarkabl4that among tie' very few things which the Vonvention did do, were two measures which would least have been expt cted in such a conservative body. Tile most important of these was the prohibition of the marriages, by .Episecipal clergymen, of persons divorced for causes other taan the' single one of adultery. This is, we believe, the only instance in which the legislation of the Episcopal - Church has been brought direct conflict with the ' civil law. We are not prepared to combat the scriptural argu ment upon which the new canon is based; but there is a sort of practical absurdity, at this day, in laying down a law which ° will have no effect whatever except to increase the mintage fees of civil magistrates and ministers of other denominations. Devout Episcopalians, who accept the interpretation of Holy Writ upon which this new canon is founded, will not desire to marry within the - proscribed bounds, and all others will simply invoke the good offices of those who are authorized to marry them by the civil, and not forbidden by the ecclesiastical law of other denominations. The other singular piece of legislation was the breakin t g up of the uniformity of the Episcopal service by the admission of such other selections of hymns from two or three specified books, as each Bishop may approve. for his own diocese. The hymnal of the Episcopal Church is a small, but very choice one. It is probably desirable to enlarge it; but herd, as in nearly all other matters, the Convention could not grasp the responsi bility of setting forth an additional c3llection of hymns for universal use, but turns the sub ject over to the forty odd Bishops, so that the traveling Ephi6opalian, instead of the old uni formity of public worship; will be treated with a series of novelties in each new dio cese that he may visit. There is a marked inconsistency in this introduction of variety in the services, just when all parties pro fess to be aiming at simple uniformity. The Convention having adjourned, the Episcopal Church will, or ought to, subside from the excitements which have disturbed its peace, into the quiet of active, unobstru sive, legitimate work. Most of its late war fare has been upon purely domestic abstrac tions, while tefore it lies the great field of the world, "white unto the harvest." To this work it will now turn itself, and the world will be able to look on and take up once more the old commendation which has fallen into syh sad disuse : "Behold how these Christians love one another !" CUM& AND THE INSURRECTION. For several weeks an insurrection has been in progress in Cuba, but it has been impos sible to obtain any reliable information re specting its origin, character and progress until within a day or two. The .Captain- General, Lersundi,wholly ignoring the sweep ing reforms which have been instituted in the mother country, has continued in force the odious laws against free speech and liberty of the press, and has exercised his old despotic power in suppressing intelligence and in pm venting the transmission of news over the cable. It is entirely evident that his sympa thies are with the fallen Isabella, and that he is determined—stupidly enough—to remain as faithful to her interests as he dares. He seems to accept the results of the revolution with a kind of melancholy resignation; but he refuses active sympathy with the move ment, and will not part with his power until he is compelled to. Not so the people. They are as enthusi astic over the reformation as are the Spaniards themselves; and their joy is not less sincere because it is undemonstrative. Of course there are a few who mourn for the ruined monarchy. But these are generally planters who own large numbers of slaves, and who perceive in the progress of freedom, only fu ture loss of their property. But the masses cannot lament the destruction of authority which has ever been a burden to them, and which not only robbed them ot every per sonal privilege, but oppressed them with tax ation—extorting an annual revenue of thirty million dollars from a population of little more than one million. These advocates of reform are divided in opinion as to the pro per course for Cuba to pursue under the new relgirne. One party wishes to continue the present relations with Spain; another de mands annexation to the United States; still another boldly declares in favor of entire in dependence, and a government ot their own. Those who desire union with Spain are nu merically the strongest, and there can be little doubt that they will be successful in their de sigr. The most liberal government in the mother country would be likely to protest very strongly, and forcibly, against the loss of such a rich prize as the Ever Faithful Island. But, as far as we can learn, the present insurrection is conducted by members of all parties, and is directed against the tyranny of General Lerbundi. It appears to have made very little headway so far, because most of the Cubans seem disposed to await peace fully the inevitable interposition of the home government in their behalf, rather than to inaugurate a war which can only result in disaster to the country and to both parties concerned in it. But if they do not progress, the rebels hold their ground, and thus far have baffled every effort to defeat and destroy them. Theo cause differs frOm - that for whiCh Cubans have fought in the many former re bellions that have agitated the island, in that it has the moral example, and indeed sup port, of the government in Spain, while Ler sundi's efforts to suppress them are only half hearted, for he knows that his superiors will not entirely commend his action. Upon the whole it is very doubtful whether there is any wisdom in the action of the rebels. Captain General Lersundl's success.ir has been nominated by the Provisional Junta in Madrid, and when he arrives, and obtains possession, he will, of course, inaugurate the reforms with which Spain has been blessed. If the revolutionists aim at enrolling Cuba in the Union of our Suites, and expect assist ance from this Government, they will be disappointed. Mr. Seward doubtless wants the island as badly as Buchanan, Itlason, and Soule did when they wrote their Ostend THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN---PHIL. DELPIIIA SATITP DAY, OCTOBER 31, 1868. reenifeete; but even if Spain were willing t-i sell it, we are rather ' too "impecunious irolt ripw.to buy.in _any more. lob iota Li. islands, and we certainly, shall not .go to , .war about it, however desirable it may ;be.? • . To-night, Philadelphia • honors her own loyal name by giving.a coidlal, spontaneous greeting of welcome to Abraham Lincoln's great Minister, Edwin 31: Stanton. Through years of anxious, and too often thankless toil, Mr. Stanton has stood faithfully at his post of duty, while be has seen „private for tune an'd personal health thseltitig away in the hot furnace of devotion to his country's highest interests. Long after, ery other marl whom Mr.'Lincoln chosefor,,his coun sellor, had either passed 'Awn' the office he once occupied, or proved faithless. to. the great inheritance which the murdered Presi dent bequeathed to the men whom he had gathered about him, Edwin M. Stauton stood true td his principles, a great, stern, rugged bulwark, against which the'rage and the cun ning of his enemies alike weredashed into con fukon. ' • Mr. Stanton, through his long period of eminent public service, has developed just those qualities of downright physical , and moral "pluck," which, by virtue . :of their Anglo-Saxon descent, the American people are sure to appreciate and respect. He has conquered his present. proud hold upon the affection and reverence of the people by dint of fidelity under temptation, endurance under mountains of hard labor, and an unsullied name for integrity, and lofty patriotism. The people of Philadelphia have long desired to see and hear the man, of whose public services they have seen and heard so much. But while in office, Mr. Stanton allowed himself no holidays. And since his retirement from office he has desired nothing but the quiet and repose of his own home. But, ever mindful of his duty, he made one more effort to serve his country in the late campaign in Ohio, and in the few speeches which he was able to make he con tributed largely to the brilliant victory we have just won in that State. His failing strength, however, cut short his Western tour, and now, making his way back to his home in Washington, he pauses for a day to gratify the frequently-expressed wish of his c )untless friends in Philadelphia ; and his re ception to-night will testify how Philadelphia alineciates his effort. Mr. Stanton will make an address at the Academy of Music, which will be overflowed by the fortunate few of the vast crowds who desire to meet and hear him,and he will after ward be serenaded at the Union _League House, where he will, doubtless, receive one of Philadelphia's heartiest ovations. America has no other private citizen to whom such willing honors would be paid as those which the whole loyal people of the country are ready to tender to the man who was the great Minister of War under Abraham Lin coln, as he is the great advocate of peace under Ulysses B. Grant. Mr. Seymour lamented last night that in a certain Southern State "men are accounted criminals if they dare to exercise the rights of an American citizen." Yes, Wade Hampton, the man who nominated Seymour, demands the punishment of every colored citizen who exercises his right to vote as he pleases ; and the Democracy all over the South are putting men to death daily for daring to think like free men. Horatio had better hush upon this subject. Seymour asked, last evening, "Why can not we s rive to obliterate the past?"' Re publicans do not make an effort in that dire-- tion simply because they have nothing to be ashamed of. It is natural for a man with Mr. Seymour's record, however, to wish to souse the nation in Lethe, and forget his own misdoings. We shall remember them until Tuesday, at any rate. After that his obscu rity may provoke forgetfulness even of his existence. WiArni. sVANTON. President Johnson has pardoned another man who was convicted of violating the..l2 ;v -enue laws. Gratitude is,what A.. Ward would call, one of Mr. Johnson's "forts." He con siders that he has not yet sufficiently com pensated the Whisky Ring for its ser vices rendered during the impeachment . . Horatio Seymour last night accused the Republicans of having changed front. Con sidering the recent attempted change of front, back and both sides of the Democracy, during which ineffectual effort at traasforma thin Horatio Seymour narrowly escaped being kicked out of his candidacy, each a charge coming from him is amusing—it is mutt—it is brassy. Was it dense ignorance or a wilful spirit of falsification, thatmade Horatio Seymour say, last evening,that the railroad system of Penn sylvania had cost only thirty millions? Three hundred millions would have been nearer the correct figure; but Democratic politicians seldom get nearer to the truth than Seymour bas in this case. Not one word was uttered by Seymour last evening in reference to his colleague ou the ticket, Blair. Perhaps he feels sore be• cause Montgomery Blair said that Frank Ought to have been at the head instead of the tail of the ticket.

The leading idea respecting Halloween is that it is the time, of all others, when supernatural aces prevaiL It is the night set apart for a universal 'walking abroad of spirits both of the visible and invisible world. There is an old cus tom, perhaps still observed in some loCalities,on this ulght of hanging up a stick horizontally by a string from the ceiling and putting a candle on the one end and an apple on the other. The stick being made to twist rapidly, the merrymakers in succession leap up and snatch at the apple with their teeth (no rise of the hands being allowed), but it very often happens that the candle comes round before they are aware and scorches them in the face or anoints them with grease. The disappointments end misadventures occasion, of course, abun dance of laughter. The grand sport with apples on Halloween, however, is to set them afloat in a tub of water Into which theinvenhes by turns duck their heads with a view of catching an apple. Great tun goes on in, watching the at- Le [opts of the youngster in the pursuit of the swimming fruit, which wriggles from side to side of the tub, and evades all attempts to capture it; whilst the disappointed aspirant is obliged to abandon the chase In favor of another, whose turn has now arrived. The apples pro vided with stalks are generally caught first, and then comes the tug of war to win those which possess no such appendages. Nome competitors will deftly suck up the apple, if a small one, into their months. Others plunge manfully overboard in pursuit of a particular apple, and having forced it to the bottom of the tub, seize it firmly with their teeth, and emerge, dripping and triumphant, with their prize. Among the customs still prevalent in Scot land, and sometimes practiced in this country as an initiatory Halloween ceremony,is that of pall ing kailstockt or stalks of coiewort. The young people go out hand-in-band; blindfolded, into the kailyard, er garden, and each pulls the first stalk which he meets with. They then return to the fireside to inspect their prizes. According as the stalk is biger little;straight or crooked, so shall the future wife or husband be of the party by whom it is pulled. The quantity of earth stick ing to the root denotes the amonut of fortune or dowry, and the taste of the pith indicates the temper. Finally, the stalks are placed, one after another, over the door, and the Christian names of the persons who chance thereafter to enter the house are held in the same succession to indi edit those of the individuals whom . the parties are to marry. Another ceremony much practiced on Hallow een is that of the Three Dishes or Luggies. Two of these are respectively tilled with clean and foul water, and one is empty. They are ranged on the hearth, when the parties, blindfolded, ad vance in succession and dip their lingers into one. If they dip into the clean water they are to marry a maiden; if into the foul-water;—a— widow; -if into the empty - dishy the warty so - dip= ping is destined to be either a bacnelor or an old maid. As each person takes his or her turn the position of the dishes is changed. The ceremonies above described are all of a Eght,sportive description; but there are others of a more weird-like and fearful character, which, in this enlightened age, have fallen very much into disuse. One of diesels the celebrated spell of eating an apple before a looking-ghiss with the view of discovering the inquirer's future hus band, who, it is believed, will be seen pooping ever her shoulder. Another of these ceremonies is to wet a shirt-sleeve, hang it up to the tire to dry, and lie in bed watching it until midnight, when the apparition of the individual's future partner for life will came inand turn the sleeve. In this country, at - the present time, the cele bration of Halloween has almost become obso-lete, and is confined principally to pranks ofja ven lies in ringing door-bells and otherwise an noying citizens.

Mr. Cassidv urged that this was proper testimony in order to show the defendant's motive, that he was en gaged in refusing votes when offered by persons having papers which on their face were genuine.

A limited amount of the First Mortgage Bonds of the Union Pacific Railroad Company are , offered to the pub. lie, as ono of the safest and most profitable investments. I. They area first mortgage upon the longest and' ost important railroad in the country. 2. By law they can be issued to the Company only u the road is completed, so that they always reineeent a real value. a Their amount is limited by act of Congress to Pitt,' Minion DoUars on the entire Peel do line, or an average of < • less than Satin per mile. Hoe. E. D. Morgan, of the united States Senate, and Don. Oakes 'lmes, of the United States Rouse of Repro: eentatives, are the trustece for the bondholdsre, toe that aU their interests are protected. 5. Five Government Direettna, appointed by the Presi dent of the United States, are respeneible to the country for the management of its &flare. ThredUnited States Commissionems must certify that the road is well built and equipped, and in all respects! firstclass railway. before any bonds can battened Upon it. 7. The United States Government lends the Company its own bonds to the mad amount that the company is. sues, for which it takes a second mortgage as security. 8. de additional aid. it makes an absolute donation of 12.800 acres of land to the mile, lying upon each side of the road. 9. The bonds pay six per cent. in gold, and the Principe is also payable in gold. 19 The earnings from the local or way business wore over Foos MILLION Dott.sas last year, which. after Pall ing operating expenses, was mnrh more than sufficient to Pay the interest. These earnings will be vastly increased on the completion of the entire line in 1869. 12. No political action can reduce the rate of interest. It must remain for thirty years—six per cent. per a 73711072, In paid, now equal to between eight and nine par cent, in currency. The princ , pat 18 then pay note in gold. If a. bend, with ouch goarantees. were Waned by the Govern ment, Its market price would not be lees than from 20 to 25 per cent. premium. As these bombs are issued under Government authority and suuervisicn, upon what Is very largely a Government work, they must ultimately approach Government prices. No other corporate bonds are made so secure. 18 The issue will soon be exhausted. The sake have sometimes been half a million a day, and nearly twenty 11111110118 have already been sold. r. bout ten millions more may be offered. It is not improbable that at some time not far distant, all the remainder of the bonds the Cotn pany can issue will be taken by sense combination of capitalists and withdrawn from the market. except at a large advance. The long time, the high gold interest, and the pet fect security,must make these bonds very valuable for export. All the predictions which the officers of this Company have made in relation to the progrew and business success of their enterprise, or the value and advance in the price of their securities, have beeu more than confirmed, and they therefore , tiggest that parties who desire to invest in then bonds will find it to their advantage to do go at once. The price for the present is lid, and accrued Interest it 6 per cont. in currency from July I, 1868.
