MIMIC FROM A DAVIS ORGAN
The change which recent events have
been causing. throughout the South is well
exhibited by the altered tone of the edito
rade of the 44d-established and well-known
journals. The - .Mississippi Clarion, tor
many years the leading organ of JEFFER
soic Davis, and the representative of his
particular political opinions, is now strenu
ously urging upon the attention of its readers
the necessity and justice of opening the
courts to all classes of witnesses. It ex
presses the opinion that all existing preju
dice on the subject would be speedily eradi
cated if the community individually would
fully consider and rightly appreciate the dif
ference existing between the competency
and credibility of a witness. In justice,
every one able to observe or relate a fact
possesses the indisputable right to a hearing.
the established tribunals require all such
assistance in the pursuit of their inTestiga
tons, and it is the province of the court and
jury to decide upon the value of the testi
mony and the reliability of the witness ;
and therefore, all objections against the
truthfulness of the negroes as a class could
be most properly presented and effectively
used in such cases where the individual
witness is proved to be unworthy of credit.
To find the Clarion. uttering such opt
-111MS is indeed a curious evidence of the
Spirit of the P06P16 of Mississippi, and must
be accepted as a proof of the fact that the
masses, even in the most ultra Southern
States, are willingly and rapidly conform
ing their opinions, as well as their outward
conduct, to the new order of society, which
is the necessary result of recent events.
The progress of this utter, complete, and
fundamental alteration in the condition of
society finds a still further illustration
when we see this editorial of the Clarion
copied and most fully endorsed in a news
paper edited by colored men in the city of
Nashville. Truly and in very deed, when
JEFFERSON DAVIS strove so long and so
bard to inaugurate- a revolution, he saw
not whither it would tend

WASIIIN6TON, October 5,1865
'le Freedmen in Mississippi.
The Secretary of the Treasury recently re
ceived an important communication from the
Chamber of Commerce of Cincinnati, trans-
Mining a Suggestion made by a citizen of Ohio
in reference to the employment of freedmen
along the Mississippi, under the direction. of
the officers of the Government, or otherwise,
in repairing the broken levees On the lower
coast of the Mississippi river, in order to give
employment (as - the statement reads) to thou
sands of freedmen out of work, aniabyso doing
to aid the land-owners on the Mississippi in
restoring the country in that section. to its for
mer,condition. In order to reimburse the Go-
Vernment for the labors performed by the
freedmen, it is proposed, after the completion
of the levees, that a tax be levied upon the
land-owners benefited by the improvement.
Secretary MCCULLOcn referred the matter to
the Commissioner of Freedmen's Affairs, with
the following endorsement: " Assuming the
condition of the freedmen and of part of the
Country as represented, it would appear de
sirable that some plan to meet the exigencies
of the situation should be devised."
General llowAs.n, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
referred the papers to Colonel EATON, Asais
taut Commissioner ofithe Bureau, who having
been connected with freedmen's affairs in Mis
sissippi, was competent to place the matter in
a proper light, as he does in the following
letter
The repair of the Mississippi levees has been
a subject, frequently . agitated by the planters
and Officers On the river. Some of them were
destroyed by the rebels, some by our armies.
They never have beeti cared for by the Gene
ral Government. They could be fitly, at pre
sent, it seems to me, only as part of the mili
tary work connected with the war. The war
has closed. t sheuld deprecate the General
Government taking upon itself special ex
pense, especially discharging the duties of
municipalities or States.
The endeavor is to give to each Stategthe
fullest trial of its power to restore 'peace and
prosperity.
The General Government can no more as
sume to repair all the damages done by the
rebellion than assume the rebel debt. The
people owning the property along the river
are specially interested in having the levees
repaired. Their Condition does not materi
ally affect commerce. The Government is in
terested in them only as it is interested in the
prosperity of each different locality in the
tolintry. The prompt organization of indus
try and faithfulness in fulfilling obligations
assumed will speedily find means to make all
repairs.
A minute acquaintance with the care of
freedmen. and filets and figures in regard to
all relief 'establishments, warrant sue in say
ing that not an able-bodied man can he found
supported in idleness by the Government on
the river.
Instead of an increase of dependents, the re
ports show a constant and rapid. decrease.
The organization of industry on a normal
basis is far better than by aggregations in
-Camps 01 crowded Communities. These have
been a necessary incident to the provision
against suffering caused by the war, and should
pass away with it.
Information has been received at the Freed
men's Bureau, from Colonel THemns, assistant
• commissioner for the State of Mississippi, that
the Mayor of Vicksburg, having signified his
willingneSS to allow newroes the right to testi
fy before his courts, and to impose the same
penalties upon riegroes violating State laws or
city ordinances as would be imposed upon
white persons committing tile same crime,
officers of the bureau at Vicksburg have been
instructed, in no case, to interfere with the
city authorities In the discharge of their du
ties, and not to take cognizance of cases
coming within the jurisdiction of timidayor of
the city of Vicksburg, but to turn all such
.eases over to the Mayor for trial. The colonel
has also notified the judicial otricers and magis
trates of the Provisional Government of Kis
.sisippi that when they allow negroes the
same rights and privileges as are accorded
to white men before their courts, officers of
the bureau will not interfere with such tribu
nals, but will give them every assistance DOS.
sible in the discharge of their duties.

The Commtssioner of Internal Itevenue has

The Trial of General Briscoe.
The court-martial, of which Major General
GMEN is president, and Maj. BenritiA3r, judge
advocate, for the trial of Brevet Brigadier
General Josarir Hatzeon, met this morning at
ten o'clock. The accused is a line-looking of
ficer, apparently about thirty years of age,
with light hair, moustache and goatee, blue
oyes, awl clear complexion. He listens to the
evidence against him with itit6i.6.4t, but with•
out any manifestations of embarrassment, and
frequently consults his counsel as the various
features of the ease are developed.
Capt. Alberger, cross-examined by Governor
Ford.—Witness had known Lackey since
February or March of this year • saw him
nearly every day about the camLis year;
that
time till the middle of April 5 ad. net AM him
again till in September; Lackey was under
the influence of liquor when he accosted wit
ness at the Lynchburg depot on the night of
the 21st of September • witness had been ac
quainted with General Briscoe since the 12th
of January, 1865; had been at Lynchburg since
the Ist of August; his relations with General
Briscoe were -amicable until two 'or three
weeks ago when the General had threatened
to have witness dismissed the service this
was previous to the proposition from Lackey
to rob' the safe ; witness was under the imme
diate orders of General Curtis, to whom he
communicated the facts the night before the
robbery was committed.
Samuel Worthley, of Lynchburg, superin
tendent of the quartermasters office under
Captain Alberger, and John Odell, one of
Baker's detectives, severally testified as to
their looking down through a hole on the
movements of General Briscoe in the room
below, where the money was deposited. The
latter subsequently searched General Briscoe
and found the missing treasure in his private
office. The money and bullion, and the money
bags and packages, were identified by this
witness.
Odell, during the cross-examination, said
that at his second interview with Captain Al
bOrgerolt Gordonsville, he said General Bris
coe had spoken to him on the matter, and
proposed to get him out of the difficulty by
throwing suspicion on a former rebel officer
who was the owner Of the safe. In conversa
tion. Captain Alberger said they appeared to
be down on him. After General Briscoe'a ar
rest lie said to witness, "I thought I was a
better detective than you 5 I wooled to get
the principal." The witness replied, " That is
is too bungling, General; I don't sea how you
can catch the principal after committing the
burglary yourself."
The trial will probably be concluded this
week.
Mate of Affairs in Western Alabama.
The Commissioner of the rreedraenis Bu
reau, today, received an interesting report
from Major CHARLES A. MILLER, Who passed
through portions of Western Alabama on an
inspecting tour. The report represents that
the freedmen were generally satisfied and do
ing well, and their only source of regret was
their sdparation front their wives and families,
who were left in different parts of the State in
their flight from tyrannical masters to the
protection of the bureau. They were working
for a portion of the crop, varying on different
plantations from one-twentieth to one-fourth,
besides food, quarters, and clothing.
Cases have frequently come to the notice of
the asoStant commissioner of the murder of
loyal people for their expressions of devotion
to the Government. The most recent case was
the murder of Dr. Gm:Eason, one of the most
prominent citizens of the State, by a gang of
desperadoes, on account of his well-known
sympathy for the Government.
In the vicinity of St. Stephens an aged freed
man, whe had not seen his wife and family for
several years, called upon their master, named
and asked that they he permitted
to return with him tot==s home. PLErcrm, in
eold blood, - without reply, Shot him, and, be..
fore his victim ceased to breathe, severed his
head from the body.
The cowardly miscreant escaped, but no
doubt will soon be captured. One of the
guards stationed neai Claiborne, when a few
yards from his post, was attacked by a party of
rebels and murdered. Not satisfied with the
death of the soldier, they cut off his ears.
These are a few illustrations of the temper of
a portion of the Western Alabamians. The
report closes with the opinion that the igno
rance of the people is unparalleled, and that
many will not believe the war is over. The
soldiers of the late Confederate army are the
least obnoxious, and their deportment is in
Commendable contrast with the action of the
citizens, who declare that the taking or the
oath of allegiance is but a mockery.

3d. With reference to the election of mem
bers to the General Assembly who are inelegi

elected. Should they be, the constitution
of the State must be repealed before they can
take their seats ; and as the question will be

of its session, and thus deprive the counties
sending such delegates of all representation.

by them, when they arrive at the State or

of certain laws before they can take their

Foreign mails, received at the State Depart
ment to-day, bring further intelligence rela
tive to the ravages of the cholera. The United
States consul at Port Mahone, writing under
date of September 13th, says that the cholera
at Palma itfayorea has carried off many peo-
ple, and there is no diminution of the disease.
A panic prevailed there. The cholera has also
appeared at cuifigtdela. It is now admitted
that about seventy pilgrims died Of Cholera at
quarantine at Port Mahone, and others of va
rious diseases. The cholera is represented to
have broken out west of Port Mahone. But
tbus far this scourge seems to have been eon•
fined to the great channels of human travel
and the marts of commerce. There is no
inferuladon, however, that it MS appeared in
the interior of Spain. The consul say§ that,
from information received at Port Mahone, it
is believed that the scourge. will again visit
the west, and that information has also been
received there that the Russian pest, which
was thought to have disappeared, has broken
out in Liberia. The accounts of this pest aro
frightful beyond anything heretofore known.

On Monday last, for alleged fraudulent deal

said, visited HARRIS' house at ntglit, and, AS
eending to an upper story, began rattling at
the window, upon hearing which, Mr. U. got
out of bed and approached the direction of the
noise. Reaching the window, he shoved the
blinds open, when one of the guard outside
drew a revolver and fired, killing him im
stantly. HARRIS' wife being close behind, the
second barrel of the pistol was then fired at
her, but fortunately the load did no other
damage than cutting off one of her fingers.
"At this time a gentleman named limsuctt,
who was visiting Mr, Renurs' family, sprang
from his bed and ran to the door in the first
story of the house to see what was the matter,
when either the same guard, or another
equally intent en murder, levelled his re
volver at him, and was in the act of firing,
when an officer suddenly came up and knock
ed the weapon out of the fellow's hand, there
by, doubtless, saving Mr. Iletofettle life.
"Why the guard, simply sent to make an ar
rest, should have thus so strangely acted, is a
Subject of great mystery.

excitement in the vicinity of the occurrence."

MITTEES APPOINTED.
Two more Southern Bishops Tako their Seats
in the House of Bishops,
The /Louse of Clerical and Lay Delegates of
the Twenty-eighth COnvention of the Protes
tant Episcopal Church of the United States
reassembled yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock,
pursuant to adjournment, in St. Andrew's
Church, Eighth street, above Spruce. The as
semblage of spectators was not as large at the
hour of meeting as on the previous day, but as
the day wore away and the deliberations of
the body increased in interest, the numbers of
the audience gradually increased until, at one
time, the building was much crowded.
Morning prayer was read by Right Rev.
Thomas March Clark, D. D., bishop of Rhode
Island, assisted by Right Rev. Thurston Gre.
gory Bedell, D. 1., bisho of Ohio. The 2.4111.
Psalm was sung by the people, and the first
lesson concluded with the Ist chapter of
Isaiah. The 20th verse of the 17th chapter of
St. Luke was then read ; after which followed
the 90th Psalm commencing :
"Praise ye the Lord! our God to praise
My soul her Inmost power shall raise."
The benediction WAS pronounced by the
Lord Bishop of Almitreal,
An interesting feature of the service was the
fact that the two officiating bishops were
formerly connected with St. Andrew's Church;
Bishop Bedell, the son of the first rector, and
Bishop Clark having been the second successor
of Dr. Bedell in the rectorship.
Divine service having been concluded, the
House was called to order by the president,
Rev. Dr. Craik, D. D., of Kentucky.
The secretary, Rev. Dr. Randall, then called
the roll of dioceses, when the following depu
ties, not present yesterday, answered to their
names and presented their credentials
CLXRIVAL Dartrias.—Rev. Messrs. Stubbs, of
New Jersey, Erastus Burr, D. D., of Ohio, and

of New Toni, 4thert 'Douglass, of Ohio, C. P.
Farnsworth, of Rhode Island, It. Richardson,
of Vermont.
The Minutes of the previous clay were read,
when it was proposed to so amend the resolu
tion offered yesterday in regard to the Weil&
siOn to the Boor of certain persons, including
the vestrymen of St. Luke's anti St. AndieW , g
churches, as to make more explicit that por
tion of it referring to the latter. The proposi
tion Was affirmatively considered, when the
minutes, as amended, were adopted.
Idr. Welsh reported that all of the seats on
the platform and the six front pews on the
north wall were assigned to the bishops and
their famines, and the six corresponding
pews on the south wall to the families of the
clerical deputies.-
Rev. Wm. Cooper Mend, D. D., of Connecti
cut, then addressed the convention, as fol
lows Mr. Irrcolacirt, if lam in order, I rise

hopeful prospect thus presented of the speedy re

be also requested to Bet forth an appropriate order
of service for that day, ineluding the celebration of
the Holy Communion and prayers that the desola•

Church mat', through .the beating influence of the
Holy Ghost, be Messed with a spewly mid happy
consummation in truth, iu mutual honor andd in

Mr. Wm. Cornwall, of Kentucky. There are
several parts of that resolution upon which I
would like to have a vote separately. I. order
that the question may be taken on each dis
tinct proposition, I move that the vote be
taken Separately,
Bev. AL A. DeNV. Howe, 13. 13., of Pennsylva
nia, offered the following as a substitute for
the foregoing resolution:
Trhereas. In the. lieller&I Convention of ISia the
house of Clerical and Lay Deputies, by soleniii nese ,
hition, pledged to the National Government their
devout and earnest prayers that Its efforts might be
so guided by wisdom and replenished with strength
that they might be crowned with speedy and com
plete success, to the grory of God and the restora
tion of our beloved Union; and
Whereas, We are now permitted to rejoice in the
experience of those blessings for which our prayers
were then plighted: therefore,
Resolved, A s the sense of this house fßiat we are
bound to returthhearly thanks to Almighty God for
the attainment of an - honorable, and, we trdat, per
manent peace; far the perpetuation of our National
Government,. Mid for the re-establishment of its
authority over all the land.
Rau/vett, That as patriots and Christians It be
comes us to.a.eknowledgc with devout gratitude
that God has overruled this unhappy strife in such
wise that the- great occasion of national dissension
has been swep away, and that under his providence
human bondage is soon to cease, and be forgotten
as one of the elements of American society.
Resolved;. what we will hail with joy the cordial
return. of our brethren, who have been for a while
separated fawn us, to abide with us henceforth in
"the unity of the spirit and in the bond of peace,"
and will trust that, since the removal of the only
known cause a estrangement in tithe past, RO root
of bitterness shall spring sip to trouble us or to
hinder ourbeing " perfectly joined together in the
same mind and in the same judgment. ,,
Resoluta, That inasmuch as the House of Bishops
at the last cOnVention were pleased to appoint a
special day or thanksgiving and praycr, iii 11.01( of
the calamities of war under which the country was
themsuffering, and to set a form of devotion suita
ble for the same, so now they be respectfully re
uested to designate a day of thanksgiving, whilst
this eldlYention is in session, on which we may re . -
tutu tribute of out; gratitude that these vellum
,
hiss ate orerpast.
• Rev. Mr. Yarnell seconded theMOtiOn to
sub
stitute.the latter for-the former resolutions.
Corning Judd, F.so of Illinois moved
that the resolutions be laid upon the table.
i Bev. Dr. Edw. Y. Higbee,. of New York, said
that upon a subject of so much importance
and one likely to produce debate it was neCeS
sap/ to weigh carefully the proper mode of
procedure before entering upon any course.
If resolutions upon the question were to be re
ceived at all, it would be better to receive
those only upon wideia the convention would
be most likely to agree.
11ev. Dr. Mead moved to lay the — whole sub
ject on the table.
The president stated that the resolutions had
not, vet become the property of the .toro
having been read by the secretary.
S. Corning Judd, Esq., then moved that they
be root received:
William Welsh, Bin of Pennsylvaiiifi,
gested, as he had understood the House of
Bishops were at Present eonsidering this au.b
jeet, that the resolutions shouldbe withdrawn
for the preSertt, bud that in case of the re
ception of a message from the House of
Bishops on the subject, they might be re
ceived,
Rev. Dr, Mead Signified his entire willing
ness to withdraw the - original
resolution if
the substitute would be withdrawn.
Rev, Dr. Howe said that, in accordance with
the rulings of parliamentary law,be would
withdraw the resolutions he had uttered.
Both series of resobitiona were accordingly
withdrawn, and the matter dropped for the
present,
- Rev. Chas. Greek, of Wilmington, Del., of
fered the following t
Whereas, This House of Clerical, and La Deputies
desire to express and record their 'profound grief
on the announcement of the death of Rear Admiral
Samuel Francis Dupont, a delegate elected from
the diocese of Delaware to this Robes; therefore,
Resolved, That the amiable and noble traits of MS
haracrer endeared him to his faintly and friends in
no common degree; that his long, faithful, and bril
liant public services rank him with eminent naval
COMlllanders; and that hi consistent life manifests
the sincerity of his profession of the Christian faith.
Resolved, That this House condoles with the fa.
wily of Admiral Dupont in their great bereavement,
and that the foregoing preamble and resolutions be
communicated to them. -
William T. Read, Esq:, of Newcastle, Del.,
Seconded the resolutions in a lengthy and
powerful speech, in which he delivered a most
eloquent tribute to the character of the noble
dead.
The preamble and resolutions were maul
numsly adopted.
Rev. G. Id. Mahan, D. D., of RaltiMOTO, 31d,,
proposed the following :
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God, In His
Wise providence, to take to Himself the soul of our
deceased brother, Rev, William E. Wyatt D. D.,
. the president crude House of Clerical and Lay De ,
'miles, mid, idler his failing health Induced Mtn to
decline: re-election, for many years an honored
member or the same: therefore
Ravdred. Thud we heartily thank (101 l for the good
example tilehis eminent pastor, dettur and ten"
seller in church; and that we dea , deolote the
loss suet : by this convention in tine withdrawal
from among us or his honored presence.
litNefrta, Thilt we sympathise with his diocese,
Parish and coolly in,the loss sustained by Mein,
Rteuirfd, That u copy of these resolutions be
transmitted to the smile.
Hon. Ezekiel F. Chambers, of Maryland,
rose to second the resolutions. He disclaimed
any intention Of eulogizing the deceased; his
memory . did not require it. Although not pre.
viously informed that such resolutions were
contemplated, and therefore, to that extent,
unprepared to speak upon them, yet to allow
them to pass Without a word from himself
would be frefeaticy to tt - very plain duty. He
had known the deceased from his first coming
into Maryland, and was proud to say he had
known him intimately. During the fifty years
Willa bad intervened since then, no word of
censure had ever been uttered against Pr,
Wyatt, and he died lamented by all who knew
Ho was a man singularly adapted to the
profession for which he had been selected. He
was a model of a parish minister, as Weil as an .
accomplished gentleman; and if a universal
estimate might be considered as an evidence
of the fact, his life fully comported with that
of a model pried, He urns the SelliOT member
of the convention and had lea, perhaps, but
one person in the body who rentembered any
thing of the drat appearance of the deceased
among them ; that person was the speaker.
The resolutions were Vien adopted, without
a dissenting WINN
Rev. Alex. Burgess, of Maine, offered the fol
lowing :
kmNed, That this House uItICO 11pRR its records
this expression Of its grateful Memory of ilic laic
Hon. Robert Hallowell Gardner, of Maine, deceased
since the last convention, and for many years a
member of this House.
Hon. Ezekiel F: Chambers, of Maryland,
said All those who attended the. House, at
the last convention, will remember the Hon,
Robert Hallowell Gardfaer ; and those who
have attended former conventions will re
member with what zeal he labored to promote
the interests of the Church at large, being
constantly in attendance upon this House
Since, t think, the ' 142 a. At the last
convention, he claimed to be at that time,
as I suppose he justly was, the oldest lay
member of the House. And we cannot fail to
remember his deep interest in the Hoard of
Missions, and hip constant attendance at the
annual meetings of that board. No one WllO
knows the history of this man in the diocese
of Maine, where for many years lie was the
strength of the diocese, tslll fall to vote for
these resolutions.
Rev. Dr. Wm. E. Armitage, of Michigan, se
conded the resolutions in some remarks of
much power and pathos. At the moment the
resolution was offered he was engaged in pre
paring a resolution to the same effect and
was now happy to afford an opportunity to
those who would come after us to know what
a man was lost to the church when it pleased
God to take from it to his reward our depart
ed brother. The resolutions WI% then oust
nimously carried.
Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, said that while he
esteemed as highly as any one the memories
of the distinguished men who had been re
ferred to, he would remind the convention
that many of them had travelled thousands of
miles to do business, and he hopedihat mea
sures would be taken to save time by placing
eulogistic notices of those who were dead on
the minutes of the convention without debate,
He made a motion accordingly,
Rev. Edw. Y. Higbee, D. D., of New York, in
reply, asked what could be more worthy of the
members of the House,when meeting- together
from time to time, frequently after the lapse
of a year, than to remember the brilliant and
shining lights that once shed their lustre on
the body, that cheered and sustained its mem
bers by their counsel and example. He in
voked, in opposition to the resolution which
had been suggested, the more generous feel
ings of the house, and urged that nothing
more sacred or useful could employ the atten
tion of the body than these eulogies of the
memory of the honored dead, Ile moved to
lay the motion on the table.
1)r. Adams denied that in his proposition
lie had been actuated by any other motive
than that of saving , Mine. _He did not design
to shut the mouth of any member in his sym
pathy with another who had gone to his final
resting place but simply to declare that the
convention had came here upon business and
that, to save time, these eulogies should be
entered on the record instead of being de
livered.
At the suggestion of the chair, Dr. Adams
then withdrew his resolution.
Hon. Hamilton Fish offered a preambleancl
Solution, substantially, in form and sentiment,
the same as the resolutions previously offered,
in regard to the decease of Rev. Wm. Crayton t
D. 'D., for many year 4 the president of the
House. He made some appropriate and elo
quent remarks in support of the resolutions
and eulogistic of the personal worth and high
character of the deceased.
11ev. Dr. lilead, of Connecticut, seconded the
resolution in a few remarks, in the course of
which he said that Dr. Crayton, during his
ministry, had been his personal 'friend, and
that the alfectiOn which existed between them
was of the most real and enduring character.
The lamented doctor had all of a woman's
gentleness, with a mind of most inflexible
firmness upon all questions of duty. His loss
to the Church was irreparable.
In putting the question, the president re
marked that he had known Dr. Urayton only
as the presiding officer of the house; but all
who had witnessed his administration of
affairs would bear witness to that sweetness
of disposition and goodness of character
which were radiant in his face and person
and that he exercised a most powerful in
fluence upon the character of the House, and,
therefore, upon the character of the Church.
So far from concurring in that spirit of ob
ietjo
of p
n which hadmanifested itself tothe
notice
worth, , the speaket aid not
think there was anybusmess of the body more
important than to remember these good men.
The vote upon the resolutions was a unani-
OUIS aye.
Hon. - Samuel D. Ruggles, of New York, Pre•
sented the following communication from the
Diocese of New York, on the subject of the
provin clal system;
To the General Convention of the Protestant Episco
pal Church of the. United States of America.:
This certifies that on the 28th day of September, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
end sixty-live, the Conycntion ofthe Protestant
Episcopal Church, in the Diocese of- New York,
passed the following preamble and resolutions,viz.
W74creas, The time has come when, by reason of
the increase of the population, and the growth of
the church in these United States a -greater mnu
her of bishops is now or hi likeit_looll to be re
quired; and, whereas, it is desirab e'Dtat. in provi
ding for this increase in the number of bishops with
their dioceses, as little change as possible should be
made in the conservative spirit the church;
theref?te i. it is
that a provincial system aia Napto the present Do.
sition of the Church in this country should be esta
blisbed; it, therefore, prays the General Conven
tion to make provision for the organization of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States
Of Aul64ca into urovinees.
In witness whereof I have hereunto put any hand,
on the twenty-eighth day of September, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty
dye, in the city and illbeehe Of VOW York.
Wlladan E. Fr, itixortebtior,
Secretary of the Convention of the Protestant BlAS
copalChurch of the Diocese of New York.
111 r. Ruggles said : I do not intend to enter at
all into this subject at length, but merely to
make a few preliminary remarks. A subject
of so much importance—seeking a fundamen•
tal change in the constitution of the church, I
hope will not be acted upon without the most
mature and amxiedia examination. It is possi
ble that, during the present session, some-
satisfactory result will be arrived at, but such
a result can be the product only of thorough
alsonssion, Ily ono a settlement, much of
the agitation now prevalent in vatiOUS pante
of the Church will be healed.
. The change is to affect the character of the
Church peculiarly in its nationality, by divi
ding this great Chiirch of thirty-seVendioeo9oB
into a number of provinces, as yet not aster ,
tained by the friends of the project. Some are
lot dividing the Church into four grand divi
sions; some into as many divieiolle as there
are provinces. And the convention will per
ceive that there is involved in the proposition
the great and fundamental question now agi
tating the Church—whether we are to consist

rily come up in the discussion of this question.

way it may gO, Will have an important bear

ted to the project, but had merely intro
duced it in purseanee of the instruction given
him by the deputation. In order to prevent

Roy. Dr. Clarkson moved that the Commit
tee on Canons be requested to consider the
propriety of so littering the 6101.8114 of the
Church as to give the foreign missionary
bishops seats in the House of Bishops; and to
remove the restrictions upon their eligibility
as dime= bishops.
Theaccount of the treabiiM, Mr. Herman
Cope, of Philadelphia, was read by the score.
tary, who also read a letter from the same
gentJeinan usking that his resignation be tic
eeptea. Dr. itanaall hoiied flint Dir. CoTorg re.
quest might not be acceded to. He also stated
that for the first time in fifteen years the con
vention commenced with a balance in the
treasury.
The question of accepting the resignation
was not acted upon.
Rev. Dr. Vinton offered a resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Canons to report an
amendment to the canon disposing of the com
munion alms providing Unit on Easter day
the alms conttributed. be deposited with the
bishop of the diocese for his distribution.
The resolution was referred.
Rev. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, addressed the
convention in regard to the disputed point in
the Apostle& creed, iiiVoltred in the man&
tion of the passage, "I believe in the Holy
Catholic Church, the communion of Saints."
The point was whether a comma or. semi
color should be used. Dr. Adams said that
the decision of this question would dead°
whether he must try to be a Roman Catholic
or a Presbyterian, and he begged to have it
referred to the Committee on Prayer Books
for decision. He offered a resolution to that
effect, as follows
.Resolved, That It be referred to the Committee on
Prayer Books to ascertain what is the pointing of
the creed In the article: "The . Holy Catholic
Church, the COlllllllllllOll 9f Saints in the Eng
lish "healed 800 u ,,, in order that it it be found a
semicolon It may be restored to our prayer book.
Rev. Dr. Wharton said that if this was a
mere inquiry lie would say
. nothing. But it
struck him that this was a direct inStrllction
to the committee on a subject about Which we
bad not sufficient knowledge. He asked the
gentleman to amend his resolution so as to
limit it to a simple inquiry.
Dr. Adams stated that it was not designed
to give any power to act to the committee.
liScltasters suggested that action of this
sort should only be taken in conjunction with
the House of Bishops.
Dr. Howe, of Pennsylvania, advocated the
resolution of Dr. Adams, considering it purely
one of inquiry.
Rev. Mr. McAllister stated that there were
two penetuatiOns in use in the editions autho.
rized by Bishops Onderdonk and Potter.
Rey. Dr. Cummins, of Illinois, acknowledged
that he knew little about the " Sealed Beek,"
and he offered an amendment, asking the
House of ilishope to instruct this House what
is the proper punctuation of the passage in
question.
Rev. Dr. Vinton said that a copy of the
" Sealed Book" was within reach, and the Com
mittee on Prayer Book could answer the moot
ed question to-morrow, if necessary. He
thought its reference to the Bishops unneces
sary..
Judge Chambers Said that while they were
discussing this question he would introduce
another point of the same sort. He referred
to the omission of the word "again" in the
sentence of the creed, "Rose again from the
dead." Ile thought if the committee was to
take charge of the one alteration, they should
take both.
Dr. Cummins' substitute, referring to the
House of Bisnops, was opposed by Dr. Head,
of Connecticut, whe thought we ought to know
our own opinion before we asked that of the
Bishops.
Rev. Dr. WhartOnoffered a substitute, which
was accepted by Dr. Cummins, instructing the
Committee on the Prayer Bodlt to report what
is the proper pointing of the Creed.
Judge Uhambers recalled the attention of
the Convention to the disereilittley he had al.
ready pointed out in the. Cbeed. He offered as
an amendment a resolution referring to the
Committee on the Prayer Book this question
or the use or enilatioit of the word " again."
The substitute proposed by Dr. Wharton was
then adopted.
.Judge Churchill, of Kentucky, offered the
following; '
Resolved, That the committee on Canons be In
structed to inquire into the expediency of amending.
the canons of the Church so as to forbid any clergy..
man or candidate for hoi orders from entering the
army or haYy, except in the capacity of chaplain. .
The resolution, after debate, Mad adopted.
- Bev. Dr. Head offered the following, which
was agreed to

A Giant Tailoring Machine.
A new and, we believe, one of the most im
portant inventions of modern times is Reed's
Patent Autotriatiel3utton Rivetter. The mere
fact of a raaeldriS being invented to rivet but.
tons on a garment is certainly a novelty.
Nevertheless, itis an accomplished fact, and
one t)tat is probably destined to revolutionize
an important branch in the manufacture of
clothing, to all who are engaged in which, the
machinl. in question will at once be acknow
ledged o be as indispensable as the Sewing
machint. Indeed, as an ingenious piece of
mechanism, this instrument outranks the
sewing ilaehille. The "wholesale Clothiers'
Machine for rivetting bottons on garments is
very appropriately styled "The Patent Auto•
matte lutton Rivetter, and is the By.. and
only bivention of the kind in Hie world.
It peribrins six different operedffins (whereas
the Sewing Machine performs but one, that of
sewink t ) IT means of a single lever, feeding
the battois, dropping the rivets, perforating
the niateitat vy meahO Of a most ingertionslyr
wrought needle, over which a slit casing act
ing as imseen fingers, descends over the needle
as it rdtires, picking up the rivet, placing it in
a pairkof Sawa, then carrying it to a Mtle an
vil, them to receive the finishing blow from a
hammer worked by the operator's foot. It is,
upon t)e whole, a marvellous piece of mar
chinery, and we do not wonder that it Was
highly complimented by the patent office as
such.'
. . _ .
As e Jailer-041 413 g machine it stands anti
vall . By its use a boy can do th e tiloVie of
thirt men, attaching 10,000 buttons a day to /a
brics It never fails to turn oil' its work uni
for y, securing buttons and material to-
I
getlier forever, under any - asage,iaov, - evet long
and severe. This indissoluble union of mate
rialt and the Patent Bur-eyed Button is effect
ed 'Sy the use of Reed's Patent Counter-Sunk
ItlVOtilirterlocking - the *hole together so per,
fectly as to resemble one solid fikture, impart
ing,by the rich, garnet-like appearance of the
rivet head, a beautiful finish to the garment.
These inventions, which wo hesitate not to
say supply a great public want, have been also
successfully applied to. Watebuttons made of
gutta-percha, vegetable ivory, horn, and
bone—the bright, burnished miniature cup on
the rivet-head—adding much to their beauty.
The discovery of this pretty arid duraille
metallic fastener will no doubt soon become a
general favorite with the public, and super
sede the use of tile "Sewed Button."
Still another important instrument, ft.=
the hands of the same biplanes inventor, is
what is termed the
n stilton's guOtt , ltraeglNH,"
This is a small, portable patent machine,
remarkable for its great simplicity, accuracy,
and efficiency, by which a boy can do the work
of fifteen men. It 15 made Of )ron, mounted
on a table of the same material, and Is so
made as never to get out of order, performing Us
work, for the moat bungliou and careless operator,
equal in all respects to the most skilful one.
By seeing a single operation any one can use
it with perfect ease. In the use Of this ma
chine, a flollow4oot :Needle (also the patented
Invention of W. H. Reed, Esq.,. a Philadel
phian, we are proud to say).is used, and. is in.
djspensahle, for the purpose , of leading the
rivet up through the - material without injury
to its fibres • thus overcoming a difficulty ex.
perienced for the last twenty years, by in
venters, in punching rivet-holes in the mate
vial—cutting its fibres, and rendering its aPplie
cation worthless for use.
The machine is admirably adapted for Mer
chant Tailors' use, and we learn is fast be
coming a popular fixture in the worksheps of
some of the leading Merchant Tailors of this
city, among whom we notice the well-known
firms of J. B. Inageegh, C. Stokes &
Ben
nett Co., of Tower Bail; Painter, &PA & El
dridge, C. Somers ft Son, Perry ft Co., suc
cessors to Granville Stokes; Wanuamaker
Brown, Oak Hall ; also, quite a number of
Wholesale Clothiers.
This series of inventions, while Hwy Mein to
sound out the certain death knell of that vexa
tious old fogy, the "Sewed Button,n also im
part as certainly a new life to the Beady-made
Clothing trade, bringing bank many custom'
ors, who, through much tribulation on acdount
of the annoyance of buttons ripping, not to
speak otmere serious perils, have long since
bid farewell to "Ready-lifacle," end seenring
also the additional patronage of a new and
palpable class of consumers. Combined, these
inventions embody tho of an immense
business, and shadow forth, by the one-holed
Bur-Eyed Button, in its various applications,
a complete revolution in, the manufacture of
buttons, and, contributing as they do, more
largely than anyother one thing, towarde,the
perfection of the manufacture of Clothing,they
should, from the prompting's of duty and in
terest, meet with a ready Patr9nar from
Clothing manufaetnrers.
In conclusion, Mr. W. H. Reed, having estab
lished a factory in this city for the production
df these ninChipcs, and one also in the BUS for
the production of his Patent Buttons and
litvels, and having secured himself by Letters
Patent in his various inventions (six in num

The advance in the price of, coal at the New York
auction ORIN 91 1 Wednesday was a topic of no little
discussion, not merely among the, "coal yet'
terday, but in the community generally. EVeliy
body is puzzled tin give a reason loran unexpected a
rise, The lowest rides ut the'sala Were a fraction
under 911 per tom while a taro quantity of stove
coal went off at CI The averaga inerease slime
the middle of July is abiult 69:50 a' ton. It Is
generally given' out ag a reason for this ad.
reliving tendency In coal, that the supply le
far short of the demand, notwithstanding the mt.
ners are again at workwitlr every prospect of con
tinuing their operations without further strikes.
The strike in theitsenaivenna , Mut Was over ten
weeks in extent, during whieli time the supply of
coal steadily" decreased by current consuMptiOn,
until now It le etitica the quantity on hand is ex.
ceedingly low. The evil, however, Is-nit 918,113246114
as the " coal men ", would have us believe, and it
can be confidently stated that there Is to-day a
stronger combination among the capitalists to keep
up prices than ever existed among tile poorly paid
miners, whose " strikes ,' were frequently this
natural results of Injustice on the part: of the men
who are now' reaping such handsome fortunes on
the rise In Utah
The gold premium was NOM stiff yesterday, ope
ning at 14641, reaching 147 at noon, and closing at
about 1461{. This sudden advance in the faemof the
favorable exhibit made by tile Treasury- Depart
ment, and the conserVitive policy Indicated by Urn
funding loan lust placed upon the market, is a
source of general surprise. One theory for the high
premium is found in the fact that, whildeur iMporta
range from Jive to nearly eight million@ a Week Il
gold value, our exportaare at the rate ofthree mil
lions or less per week in currency value, those for
the week' just ended having been only aa,415,te7.
Nor is there any immediate prospect of an increase
in our seaport trade, or a dimunitloll in cur
ports. The prices of all the leading breadstuffs and
provisions range higher' in this market than at
Liverpool, and cotton hardly allows of profitable
shipment. 'Under these circumstances itts evident
that gold must be exported to pay the. differenee
between the credit and debit sides of our foreign.
accounts.
