CONVENTION& The assemblage of the large number of in telligent and influential clergy and' laymen *who constitute the Diocesan Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Penn sylvania is not Withott - goneral interest. Vie aggregate power of ' the several representa tive bodies of the religions denominations of Ibis country is very great. Separated as they are frOm all political connection with the state, they exercise a powerful influence upon the whole condition of American so ciety, and possess, therefore, in all their rela- lions and operations, a distinct popular inte rest, which brings them properly within the range of secular attention and criticism. Those who watch the proceedings of these deliberative bodies from without, interested to note the kind and degree of force which they are exercising upon society, are con tinually struck with the disproportion be tween the maehinerY Of the religions organi zations of the_cour and the work Accom— plished by it; with the inadequacy of the means proposed and adopted to the excellent ends desired...- An illustration of this fact is afforded by the Ephicopal Convention which adjourned this city on Thursday. Among all the religious bodies of the /halted 6tates,none comprise a larger proper ' tion of cultivated intelligence than the Protestant EpisCopal Church, and the posi tion which that Church has assumed from time to time, in reference to public affairs,has commanded a degree of- respect commensu rate with the recognized character , of its con - stituents. And yet it, is impossible for the_ impartial observer of such a Convention as that of the last few days not to be impressed very forcibly with the sense of an absence of any great degree of positive, aggressive, vital power in the work which is the chief business of every branch of the Christian - Church. We listen to or read lengthy reports upon domes tic missionary work,upon pariah work, upon the employment of women for the work of the Church. These reports are all so many confessions of small results, of crying wants, of inadequate tneans, of hopes unrealized, of feeble struggles with the great alliance of sin and suffering and sorrow in the world. Year after year, these reports come in, and with them come long arrays of fairly-worded preambles and eloquent reso lutions, which are read, discussed, and unan imously adopted, and the Convention ad-' puns and its members go home, and—"all things remain as they were from the la:gin ning." Another year will bring the-same re ports and the same action upon them, and so it goes., The world looks on, the better part of it pitying and wondering, the rest sneering and carping at, and ridiculing the impotence of the agency which is, by the terms of its Divine commission, to revolutionize and evangelize the world. - What is the real reason of all this . want of` success? The - thoughtful :looker-on -will search in vain among the documentary de clarations of the Convention for the source of the real trouble. In the three lengthy re ports, presented this week, it is nowhere once hinted at. Talleyrand never used lan guage for the concealnient of his thoughts more.successfully than do the framers of these verbose documents with. their appended specifics in the Shape of preamble and reso lution. And yet the solution lies open and - bare-to the close observer, and his only mar - - is-that men-whose -le&lativcr-prolessirins have so much earnestnesa of langwige about them can consent to ignore what all speeta - tore - recognize Etl3' the. root and cause of all ;belt difficulties. .Faa at et al) hoBte docelki,- and the Epis copal Cburoh, or anY . other Cuurch similarly ft - ,need from its old 'enemy, the world. In the world, partics,„governinentkSiMiee; 'associations of all sorts, demand a& _their grand, firstpre-re opisinl meccas, ttiiity; unity of organiza oii,.of perpose, of Spirit: They mist have this element,' not as a tichnical form, but at a . practical, Vital' fact. Technically, the Episcopal Church poSsesses this unity; prac— tically, it u nTedt u nately , , knows ' very little, about With, all lie educated ministry, its' tunivalled ritual, its marvellous combination of elasticity Sind discipline, it lacks the element ofoon-fraternity among its members; and this is the one Secret of its slow growth and confessed inefficiency. Its party divi sione destroy Its aggressive power. It can not imitate President Grant in "moving upon the works of the enemy," because the time and thought and energy of its clergy, and often of-its laity, are consumed in moving upon the works of 'the opposing party within its pwn camp. There can be no real enthu— siasm in the common legitimate work of the Church, until it agrees within itself; until a larger charity hides a multitude of the little sins which are now magnified into monstrous crimes by both wings of the opposing parties; until the exhortation of the grand old Apostle to the . Gentiles is made the prac tical rule of the modern Apostlea to us modern Gentiles, and "all bitterness, and wrath, and anger and clamor, and evil -speaking are put away ft'but youi - with all malice.P- --When the Low Church Ephraims cease to envy the High Church Judahs, and the High Church Judahs cease to vex the Low Church Ephra ims, their united forces will realize that vital poWer in the prosecution of the great com mon work of their Church, without which the most eloquent preambles and resolutions are not worth the paper on which they are written. music iNTliEviiiitiuro soffoor,S. We have received the following explanation of the action of the Committee of the Board of Schoollgntrollers in the matter of Miss Alice F. Gdflltna: It appears' that the Com mittee construed the apprOptiation of Coun cils as only applicable ,to the white schools, and, under an - existing rule of the Board, colored teachers are not eligible to positions in white schools. Miss Gordon, whose.com plexion is almost entirely white, was allowed to, pass the examination because the exami ners had no positive knowledge of her race. She was, afterward, determined to be ineli gible, and as the Committee 'had decided to give general certificates to the successful com petitors who were in excess of the twelve teachers required,they considered it necessary to name them next to the, twelve appoint mentsF•and—so---Miss--Gordon's--name—was placed at the end of the list. This is the explanation. It acquits the Committee of unfairness, but is not satisfac tory, simply because there appears to have been no ground for the Committee's restrio tion of the appropriation to the white sohoola, Miss Gorden proved herself competent to teach music in-The colored schools, and was certainlq 'eligible there, - Fit - leiest: - We - hope the Committee will yet find a way to remedy the Injustice which their restricted construc tion of the appropriation has done to a worthy and respectable young_woman. _ Why are not some.steps taken towards the organization of that Reform League of which there were whispers a short time ago? Already the hack politicians are busiarrang ing their wires for the nomination@ for the fall elections; and pretty soon we shall have pre sented to the people tickets axed v pp by the same distinguished gentlemen who, for years past, have selected persons for our suffrages, and forced many a scamp upon us. It is quite time some measures were adopted =by which-the-right tomake nominations can be taken from fifth-rate politicians, who divide the offices• as they please and are paid, and tiVen to decent men. If it is not done we shall have this year the renomination of several individuals who have held places of trust—in the Legislature for instance— 'in the past, and abused the power cot tided / to them, if this is the case the Re pUbllcan ticket will stand-a poor chance of success ) • and it will deserve to be beaten. No honest citizen can vote for any of the Philadelphia delegation in the Legislature just adjourned. Most m en, sooner than give their suffrage to such men, will either not vote at all, or else vote for a decent Democrat. In either case there will be inevitable defeat. A. Reform League from which all small politi cians of doubtful reputation should be ex cluded could offer a good ticket to• the publicans ; it could begin the work of breaking up the cliques and rings which are organized to despoil the people, and it could inaugurate reform in every department of the city and State governments. If two or three prominent and reliable men would take the first step towards forming such an organiza tion, their lead would soon be followed by others. We hope it will be undertaken. Obituary-.

CssrLE, Delaware, May 15.—The new Whipping Post and Pillory, erected in the jail yard here by the authorities of Nets Castle county to supply the place of the ancient and worn out one, was inaugurated today-with the usual Interesting ceremonies. The new structure Is quite worthy of the taste arid enlightenment of a community that preserves thri relic of barbar ism in an age called enlightened. The pillorying of three men, convicted of , petty offences, has occupied the whole morning. They were collared in the ugly machine 'ln the presence of a gaping crowd of men and children._ This afternoon the flogging Is to take place, and, the attendance will probably be still larger. Ten pensoce - are to receive thiii punishment at the hands o( the sheriff. The weather !sine, and the ancient town is quite calm, considering what is going on. But much Interest is manifested in the correspondents of distant newspapers who are here„ to report the proceedings, and some ill-feeling exists towaris them.

About 7,000 barrels of whisky were stored In the building, which were broken In some cues Into fragments. and their contents flowed over the ground in the vicinity. The store-keeper, a young man named 6w. B. Cairene, was hurled into the cellar along With the broken timber, and although almost within reach, could not be extricated. He died about 8 o'clocu, after flaking his will to a doctor who managed to get close to him. The foreman of the distillery, named John Robinson, managed to crawl out from the debris, but was injured to Each an extent inwardly that it is impossible for him to recover. The carpenter, David Steel, had three ribs broken and his head, face and body gashed and bruised fearfully. Another man, name unknown, is supposed to have per letted In the Wreck. The building was recently erected, and cost $BO,OOO. The loss sustained by the destruction et Whisky is estimated at $20,000. The cause of the accident is attributed to the shortness- of the joists, they falling to rest zip perly on the walls.

The etheneesnce of money enables even weaker dealers to - carry large leeds,and as the market has steadily repeated the example of the toad in the well, advancing after each decline further than it fell; there hi very general confidence in the final Emcees of the "bull" side of trans action,. Gold was more seneitive to these foreign infbienees,and advanced to 189 t( before the actual closing of the elcid Room. liuderlying tbe strength of the premium is the necessity of making raiment In gold or its equivalent for the heavy excess oPour imports over our exports. Mr, chines has slowly crept np on this account. Mena°, as the pm. gent prices of bonds in the borne market leave no margin for , their shipment, which would, afford the _equivalent for gold in setting the balance of trade against no. the holders of gold are firmer in their demands Gold went up. not for the immediate reason that bonds have gone down abroad, but because • the 'tie , cushy for shipping gold is more imminent. Were not the government Netting gold - and dhbursing in terest in these days the extravagant amount of our ins. ports would be still more seriously felt.

Wasursoros, May 15.- - -:Quite an interesting scene occurred at the White House thh3 morning. The members of the. BYatigelleal Lutheran Synod of the United States, which has been In session here for two or three dave, composed of about two hundred and filly ministers, called in a body to pay their, respects to President Grant. They formed in a serni-eircle in the' East Room, and the President soon after made his appearance. Rev. yohlman,of Albany,N.Y. President of the Synod, made a brief speech, alluding to the successes which had •marked the President's career. . He would not bdict etpon him at the present time a long dUi dress, and closed by saying that its members, representing twenty-two Rtnods, merely desired to show their good will to the new President, and take him by the hand. l The members were then indi vidually presented to the. President,• The White House and the Conservatory were thrown open to their inspection and half en hour was passed pleasantly in lo oking at the mansion and grounds. It is expected that a proclamation will be issued by the State Department to-day, ordering an election in Virginia on July 6th.,_. The Navy Department has advertised for sale the following iron-clads t At the Phila delphia Yard, the Cohoee, Koke, Nausett, Sun -cook;- Wassaw, -- Yazoo, the Casco-and ()him° at the Yard here; the Muscoota at the Portsmouth, New Hampshire, . Yard; the Huron and . Pe not, at Brooklyn; and the Winnepeo, at Nor folk, Virginia. All these vessels did good service in the late war, but the Department seems to, think that our navy should be reduced to very few vessels. Senator Chandler and family lime here to • - night for Europe. The Cubans here are highly elated over the news received 'yesterday, and say that in a short -time this country will have such -news from Cuba as will satisfy the most credulous that the insurrection is not dying out, as re ported, or that the Spanish tomes are having their own way. Prominent Americans, including such men as General Banks, feel confidant that the independence of Cuba will - be obtained be fore the close of the present year, unless our 'Government extends direct aid tothe Spanish authorities, which is not at all likely to be done. They complain that Secretary Fish is intinenced too much by the Spanish Minister, and does not act or talk as though he were an American Sec retary of State. In feet, ikons is much talk about -Secretary Fish's official actions, and" they are severely criticised, but mostly by those who ex press sympathy and, partisanship for the Cuban insurgents. The President and the Lutherans. WASHINGTON, May 15.—About two bunched Lutheran ministers paid their respects to Presi dent Grant this morning. They were received in the Eset Room. .Tne President on entering was greeted with applause,. when Rev. Dr. Polhman, of New York, addressed b m as follows :—lt is not unusual for ecclealas deal bodies, holding their sessions at the capital of the nation, to desire- to pay their respects_to_ the honored Chief Magistrate,tut the custom of boring him with long speeches, is, in my opinion, "more honored in the breach than hi the observance." I shall therefore content myself with merely introducing these members of the General Synod, and then follow the example of the illustrious chief who said, "Let us -have peace," arid so I shall" say, "Let us have peace." You see before you the repre ientatives of the General Synod of the -Evan— gelical Lutheran Church in the United - StideS. They ate the - representatives of -twenty two Synods, and from" various ;parts of the Union. They are 'nfst, however, representatives of the whole body of Lutherans in the country. There are large bodies of Lutherans in the South yet unreconstructed; others in the far West, not Americanized, and there are some in the Middle States who, unfortunately,- are not with us to-day, but all are true and loyal men. I trust the day will come when the tire uthe Church will be in the unity of the en spirit L and the bonds of peace. I wish, sir, I could relieve yon frcm the labor of shaking hands, andido it by proxy. If you would give me a hearty shake of the hand, and I then shake hands with all my brethren here, perhaps they would be satisfied. To this there was a general response,"No! No! we want to shake hands with him." The Presi dent then said to Dr. Pohlman, General Eakin and Rev. Dr. Butler, that he would shake hands with them individually. The ministers then separately approached the President; and were introduced andshaken by - the - hand. - The Prod dent, when the ceremony was over, entered into conversation for a few minutes with the few that remained. 2i16 ovouwot..

ICorreepondence of the Minoan Democrat) HARRISONVILLE, Casa county, Mo., May 10.— A most unfortunate affray took place here Satur day evening about nine o'clock, which, it is feared, will result in the death of three citizens. A lawsuit pending in our Common Pleas court between Geo. Preston and Geo. W. Lindsay, had been decided in the morning favorably .to tue latter. John and _Jesse Preston, sons of the plaintiff in the suit, dogged Lindsay all the after noon, armed with revolvers, the latter trying to keep out of their way; but about nine o'clock in the evening, one of the. Prestons went into the hotel where Lindsay was stop ping, took hold of him, and pulled Mtn out doors, and immediately the other Prestoeshot him through the body,lnfiicting a mortal wound. 'Lindsay then drew a revolver and first shot the Preston that had hold of him, and then the other —both through the body. Lindsay and John Preston are, beyond doubt, mortally wounded— Jesse Preston, at least very dangerously. From the high standing and respect ability of all, the parties, there is much excitement in the community. BOOTS AND SHOES. SPRING STYLES BOOTS AND SHOES FOR GENTS' WEAR. BARTLETT, 33 S.

Evening Bulletin l Now YORK, May 15.—The Money market . Is easy and quiet at 6@7. Gold Is steady, and ad vanced to 139%. The, immediate cause, aside from the consideration of the effect of the. con tinued increase in the balance of foreign trade as against no, is the fact that the bonds are lower in - London, and the foreign houses are heavy pur chasers, as the rates of exchange are almost up to the specie shipping point. Cash gold is in good demand; 5 to 6 are the rates paid for having balances carried until Monday. Government bonds opened steady at about the closing quotations of last night, but on the second call, notwithstanding the decline in Lon don, the whole market advanced 3(@% per cent. The following are the highest prices ever reached: '815,122 bid;"628,121; '64s and old '6ss, 116%; ,new '6ss and '6Bs 118%; 'Vs, 118%; ten-forties, 1093( bid; currency 69,1,06%. . _ Official notice will be given this afternoon by the Sub-Treasurer, Van Dyck, .that the Treasury Department will purchase for the Sinking Fund one million In bonds en Wednesday next, and a similar atnonnt every Wednesday thereafter until further notice. the bonds to be offered to the Government ex-Interest, and the Government to pay the seller the accrued interest in coin from the date of the last payment.

At the opening the market was barely steady, and has since declined about I@2 per cent. on the full list. There are no especial features in the market. Little ' , interest Is shown in miscellaneons,and express stocks are dull, though showing more firmness than the railroad list. CITY BULLETIN.
