WHERE THE 80-CALLED DEMOCRACY
STOOD FR OCTOBER OF 1864
No stronger argument could be made
f.Nainst the so-called Democrats, who now,
w ith soldiers to lead them, ask the votes
the people for their candidates, than
showing where they stood exactly one
par ago. General GRANT and his forces
by iu front of Petersburg, and Gen. Sinn
31su and his army were attacked by HOOD
al Alatoona, and the whole loyal people
were agonized with suspense as to the pos
,sible fate of these noble armies. PRICE had
crossed into Missouri, filling the whole bor
der with consternation ; SHERIDAN had
;ideated the rebels at Fisher's Hill; ARRA
ITAMLINCOLN and ANDREW Somieox were
running for President and Vice President,
suppOrted by the army and the patriotic
people. Where, in that hour of alternate
hope and joy, were the present pretended
friends of ANDREW Jonmon—the shouters
for soldiers votes—the assailants of HART

ing the country with libels upon. Mr. LIN

their almost proclaimed treason comes
upon us, as we look into the newapapera of
that day ! We wen the files of THE PRESS,
and, in the number of October 10, 1864,
one fear from yesterday, we find the fol
lowing editorial article, which will be read
with sad feelings by the thousands who
cherish the memory of the illustrious mar
tyr, and revive the recollection of the cruel
hate of his foes, the present leaders of the
Democratic party. Wtiat patriotic citizen
will not find in this reminiscence a voice
almost from the grave, calling him to the
fulfilment of his duty THIS DAY ?
DESPATCH FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Certain Copperhead papers published yesterday
Tape reports of defeat to General Grant and the
rttreat Of the whole army. This malicious,
shameful falsehood, insulting our soldiers and
the common sense of the country, scarcely
needed denial. As it is, the President has given
it emphatic contradiction in the following plainly
worded telegram. How low must the party have
fallen which seeks to make inaitical capital out of a
lie which, had it been believed, wawa I.t.sve turned

repulsed a part of our line, but gained no per;

when we say that the fall of Richmond is con

thing the enemy can do will eange him to re•
lax his hold. They may obtain a partial stie_
cess at isolated points, but cannot prevent the
slow but irresistible advance of the who)
army.

with renewed joy.

LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL:3
WASHINGTON, October 7
There would be a happy augury in the
loud professions of regard for the restora
tion. policy of President Johnson, on the
part of some of the Democratic leaders, if,
while making these professions, they did
not insist upon reserving to themselves the
right to denounce all that portion of his re
cord which has made him one of the con
spicuous characters of this marvellous his
torical era. The fame of the President of
the 'United States rests upon the courageous
manner in which he anticipated, unmasked,
and denounced the intentions of the tel•
tors long bee* any other Southern man
saw them in the same light; or, seeing
them, met and rebuked them with equal .
in
trepidity. Following this bold demonstra
tion, came a series of no less brilliant and
unequalled services, all resulting from the
same high qualities he displays in the
present crisis, and all contributing to that
monument upon which is inscribed the
noblest testimonials that have ever been
written of any public character. Now it is
impossible to separate President Johnson
from these annals, and I take it that
he is as proud of his connection with
them as of any period of his former
life. And, indeed, the words he spoke, the
counsels he gave, the deeds he enacted, in
that tragical interregnum between a period
of profound peace and the complete and
bloody close of the rebellion, will be
cherished by his countrymen as stars to
guide them in whatever gloomy hours may
be in store for them.
But the Democratic leaders desire to
prove themselveS the especial champions of
PresidentJohrugOn, and at the same time
to maintain their consistency in the fiercest
denunciations of these the most luminous
recollections and adolonitions of his Won
derful career—and for a very good reason.
Because if they agree that ha was right in
stepping forward to save his country, in
December of IMO, and in carrying out the
programme he then laid down, amidst. the
consternation of traitors and the wild ap
.
Valise of patriots all over the Union, they
not only stultify themselves, but at the same
time are estopped whenever they attempt
to take issue with others who approved
acid gratefully followed the lead of the in
trepid Tennessee tribune. That Piesident
.Johnson (like President Lincoln had he
lived) will gradually dispense with all the
teilitary machinery essential during the
war for the maintenance of constitutional au
thority, does not necessitate oblivion of the
unparallelled deeds to which I have referred,
'much less a willingness to assert that those
Who continue to declare that these deeds
'were simply usurpations, or worse than
usurpations, according to the language of
Judge Black in the late Democratic State
Platform of Pennsylvania, s •
hall enjoy his
4 onfidence, and assist him in shaping the
fat,' policy of the Government. There

is a marked and significant difference be
tween the empty professions of the Demo
cratic leaders and the manly repentance of
the late rebel chiefs. The former declare
that theyintend to give to the President's re
storation policy their earnest support, and
yet at the same time they misrepresent, de
nounce, and hold up to universal execration
all the strong remedies by which with his
cheerful voluntary aid the rebellion was put
down. The latter offer their aid to the
President, and not only accept these reme
dies, but embody their spirit in their' legis
lation, and prepare to adapt themselves to
their future operation.
If the Democratic leaders really desire to
make a new and a progressive' Democratic
party, they now have an opportunity pre
sented to them. Let them be at . least as
candid as the men with whom they profess
ed to sympathize. Let them confess that
like these men with the institution of sla
very, they placed what they called the De
mocratic creed, as they received it at
CharlestOn and Baltimore from the slave
holders in 1860, upon the issue of the con
flict, end lost ; that fora falsb 'Democracy as
for a new rebellion there is no destiny but
death ; that having accepted the doctrine
of State Rights as taught by John C. Cal
houn, it perished with the -treason of his
disciples ; that having resisted Emancipa
tion, vainly, they yield to the fact and the
resulting obligations; that having opposed
every expedient and measure adopt
ed by the Government for its pro
tection and for the overthrow of the
rebellion, they now admit that their
opposition was fruitless ; and that these ex
pedients and measures *ere made righteous
in the midst of a great public necessi
ty. These things being done we shall
have some cause to believe in their profes
sions of coming fidelity. The President of
the United States, and all his friends, may
then felicitate themselves upon having se
cured a powerful alliance, an alliance large
in numbers and strong in conscience, an al
liance, which, imitating and improving upon
the example of the rebels, flings away all
the past that deserves to be forgotten, and
advances to the fulfilment of its new du
ties with clear skirts and clean hands, and
a resolute purpose to co-operate with a
Patriotic President in the practical restora
tion and redemption of the republic.
NoTE.—" Occasional" will say a word
to the writer of the Constitutional Union,
in this city, who show's such a lover's con
stancy in his regular compliments to my
correspondence. As my old friend Colo
nel Florence is the publisher of the paper
in question, I will call him as a witness
against the prolific and spiteful scribe who
charges " Occasional" with being the cour
tier of powex ava with trying ever to be on
the strong side. In response to this text,
so often harped upon by the Constitutional
Union, and its tardy tender the gouty old
Intelligencer, I may say that " Occasional"
took issue with the richest and most pow
erful administration in our history—that of
James Buchanan—in 1857, and maintained
the single-handed warfare almost without a
party, though not without friends, to the
year of our Lord 1860. Nobody can doubt
that if "Occasional" had ceased his con
stant antagonism to that most corrupt oli
garchy it might have been pleasant, in the
sense that makes profit, not principle, the
guiding-star of . public action. During a
part of that period Col. Florence sat in
Congress, and can tell his editors that
" Occasional " did not court, or fear, even
so powerful a Democratic President as the
favorite son of Pennsylvania.

SEVERE .EARTHCHJAKE AT SAN FRAN
CISCO AND OTHER TOWNS.
NUMEROUS HOUSES IiEMOLISHED,
NO PERSON KILLED-MANY, HDWEVER, INJURED
Sriv Fnaxotsco, Oct. S.—At a quarter before
one o'clock, to-day the severest earthquake
ever felt :here frightened almost the entire
population out of their houses into the streets.
During half a minute there were two tremen
della shooks, which Caused buildings to rock
to and fro in a manner altogether alarming.
Services were over in most of the churches,
and the large congregation of the Unitarian
Church were being dismissed when the shock
commenced. The ladies shrieked and all
pushed for the doors faster than they could
be accommodated with exit.
Similar scenes took place at St. Mary's Ca
thedral and at some other churches and Sun
day-schools. The rush was so great from the
Catholic Church on Vallego street that the
large doors to the main entrance were carried
away, and several persons injured by being
trampled upon. The walls of many buildings
were cracked in many places, and it surprises
every one that the large, stately edifices, like
the Occidental and Cosmopolitan Hotels, and
other buildings of that class, were not gene
rally more seriously injured.
More or less plastering fell from the ceilings
of half the horses in the city. Cornices and
face walls fell from many buildings. The en
tire front of 'a four-story brick building just
erected on Third street fell outward, covering
about half that wide street with fragments.
'Cone independently-constructed chimney of
-1-be,C9Ack House" fell, and crushed through
the roof of the - 'dirdiaritenii; - Comiiig down
iilsoa the tables and dieheS to the astobish
raent of the boarders, who were taking lunch.
%%tee of the servants were injured. Two
Chinamen were badly injured by the falling of
a fire-wall on Jackson street.
The City Hall bell commenced ringing on
account of the vibration of the tower. The
interior walls of tlie building are much broken
up, and a fissure tae or three 'inches wide
opened in the gren.a..i. the lower part of-the
city ' ,sure, A is made ground,. aaa acme of_the
ground rose several inches above its former
level.
Brief accounts from Sacremento, Stockton,
and San Jose represent that the shocks were
the severest ever felt in those cities. It was
not felt at Marysville nor at Placerville, but
the town of Santa CVIIZ was shocked with great
severity; some brick buildings suffering dam
age, and two being destroyed.
FURTHER PA:SW:MAR&
giar FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—The damage by the
earthquake yesterday, will amount to consid.
erable, many houses needing new walls, new
plastering and repairing.
The City Hall is damaged in the front wall
to such an extent that a portion must be re
built at a cost of several thousand dollars.
The old Merchants' Exchange building, oppo
site the custom-house, will probably require
rebuilding.
Santa Cruz felt the shock more severely
than any other town in the State.
The motion was apparently from east to
west. The ground along the river opened in
fissures and spouted water like the geysers of
Iceland. The people are unable to use some
of the wells, which are either dry or filled with
sand. The tide rose very high at the time of
the shock and fell very low immediately after
wards. Ten or eleven distinct shocks were
felt since the first shock up to SA. Id. to-day.
The estimated losses will- amount to 110,000,
and may exceed that sum.
Dates from Honolulu to September 16th are
received. The war Steamer Saranac farina
there on the 6th. Nothing had been heard of
the Shenandoah.

The tanks of the largest flowing well on Pit.

23, on Holmden farm, and leases Nos. 2, 4 and 5,
Morey farm, covering a surface of five acres.
The total loss will reach 2150,000. All of the
oil belonged to the owners of the land interest
and United States Petroleum Company, of
New York. The tanks, buildings and pro.

TIE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
FIFTH DAY'S SESSION.,
The House of Clerical and Lay Deputies of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States reio§mbled yesterday morning in
Andrew's Church.
The opening religious Services were Con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Goldsborougb, of Dela.
ware; and Rev. Alexander Burgess, of Maine.
The music was conducted by the volunteer
choir of the clergy, the Rev. Mr. Keith officiat
ing as organist. A few days of liractice have
brought ibis prtrt of the service into a remark
able state of efficiency. This morning the
Venile was admirably chanted to the viii,
Gregorian Tone. The Te Deum was given to
the well-known double chant in E flat, by
Robinson, with much spirit and in excellent
time. The llenedietus was a familiar single
chant in F, by Farrant.
The minutes of the previous day , s session
were read and approved.
Rev. Dr. Crack, of Kentucky, President of the
"Rouge, then addrgssed the Way, as follows:
The first day of The second week of the conven
tion presents a proper opportunity for saying some
thing in regard to the reciprocal relations and du
ties of the Chair and the House. Our short sessions,
011ee In three years, do not allow time for any of us
to become familiar with the technlealities of parlia
mentary law, and even if we could my observation
of all legislative bodies has satisfied me that more
time is wasted by frequent calls to order and by the
discussions of points of order, than to any other
way. It is better to he going ferwaTd oven in a
round about way than to atop every tittle while ib
hunt for the straightest road. I do not think this
body should be kept in check by the tight rein of
mere authority as may be requisite elsewhere. But
the representatives of the Kingdom of God, all de:-
vo allowede so Interest of Math - Maori], May Well
he a large latitude in selecting the mode of
their action. Any success which may have oc
curred in expediting the business of thelast session,
was due to an adherence to these views.
There is abundant reason for devout thankfulness,
to Almighty God for the great things He has done
for us In the tone and action of this convention up
to the present moment. Most of us came in fear
and apprehension. Instead of anger and recrimi
nation, all has been peace, harmony and love. A
glorious voice of unity and love has come to us from
the Touts of Bishops, not only providing for the
fraternal concord of the Church in this country, but
embracing within the bonds of that unity all the
branches of the Anglican Church spread over the
whole world. The words of brotherly affection
whit!! greeted us from the Diocese of Pennsylvania,
on Friday, could have proceeded only from the Holy
Ghost shed upon this assembly. Yesterday I learned
in part the secret of these good things. For many
weeks some hundreds of working men and women
have been engaged In special and believing prayer
for the members of this convention,. and for its hag-
Moiry and success. Besides tins, for a long tiroe,
the beautiful prayer for Unity get forth lithat emi
nent men of God, the late lamented bishop Of this
diocese, has been opportuned in the churches of the
diocese.

all over the land to the meeting of this body, to de
termine whether there is-a Kingdom of God on this
earth, arid in this land, as distinguished from the
kingdoms and the ever-changing ceremonies of this
world. Some sensitiveness has been manifested
lest 'anything should be said or done to wound the
feelings of our returning Southern brethren. Much
as I sympathize with this delicacy, it is of Infinitesi
mal consequence, compared with the effect of the
action of this body upon the people of the whole
land, north and south, east and west.
if, by our action here, we manifest the eonseious•
ness that we are the representatives of the King
dom of God; if, in regard to all earthly interests
and policies, we will fearlessly take up the words of
our Lord and Master, Man who made me is Judge
or a divider over you," then thousands of grateful
hearts will bless us, and join their prayers and their
efforts with ours for the 'building up of the Kingdom
of God, until it shall 1111 the land and be. of all
men as a sure refuge of sin-sick humanity.
On the contrail. if we fail to exhibit clearly this
consciousness, 11 we are ashamed of this isolation
from the world, if we hanker after the idolaters to
serve the gods of the people That are round about
us, then the Same anxious, - lingering hearts will
sink down in utter and hopeless despondency:many
of them will renounce Christianity as a delusion,
and resign themselves to cold and callous litildelitY;
others, too religious for that will try to find in the
superstitions of Rome a satisfaction for tile mere
religious instinct—while all the higher powers of
the soul are given to the world and its pursuits.
Then, indeed, the light of this land will be gross
darkness, its salt vrillliave lost its savor, and there
will .be no purifying. heeth-begtOWillg element In
American society. Looking at this issue of the
meeting of this convention, and at the vast popula
tion whose future destiny will be influenced by the
result of our deliberations, 1 am Inclined to think
that since the fifth century, no more important
council of the Church has been convened. The
spirit of God has manifestly been with us hitherto.
May He pour out upon us all, in yetgreater abund
ance, the spirit of love and fraternal affection.

Dr. Cummings, of Chicago, explained that

Continued in eXhatence throughout the rebel
lion, and that the convention had been raga:
larly called by that committee, and the testi
monials of Dr. Quintard had been signed by a
majority of all the clergy of Tennessee.
Dr. Goodwin said that he did not propose to
object to the reference of the testimonials as
they were in due form. But he expressed his
regret that a person should be presented to
them for consecration whose name had been
connected as had this gentleman's for the past
few years.
Dr. Burgess replied that the committee could
not have rejected the name inasmuch as the
testimonials in the case were properly pre
sented.
Rev, Mr. Barlow expressed a hope of being
able to satisfy the convention on the disputed
point. He had been a member of the commit
tee which called the special convention in
Tennessee. That convention was fully satis
fied that it had been canonically called, and
accordinglyproceeded to elect a bishop.
The convention, however, was caned for the
transaction of general business, and 'the elec
tion of a bishop was not specified in the call.
The report of the committee was then ac

Referred to the special Committee on Pro

Rev. Dr. Clarkson presented a report front
Rev. Wm. Lannin t ilcotor of the Church of the
Holy Trinity, Paris, which, on Motion Of Mr.
Fish, of New Ircirk, was referred to the Com
mittee on the State of the Church.
Thehour having arrived'which was fixed for
the consideration of the canon prohibiting
clergymen from entering the army or navy—
Dr. Goodwin, of Pennsylvania, said that in
his opinion the proposition to include candi
dates for orders was going too far. For many
yearg the Church bad gone oa without any
such Canon. But it was now proposed not
only to restrict the prohibition to the ease of
bishops entering the military service but to
go to. the extreme of not only including the
clergy bat candidates for orders • for he con
tended that to be without a canon on this pub
feet 'was one extreme. But it was also pro-
Posed not only to prohibit any clergyman or.
candidate for orders from accepting a corn.
Mission in the military Or navel service, but
to prebibit them from entering the national
service either voluntarily or involuntarily.
This was going a step too far.
In regard to the vow taken by candidates
for orders, he held that if any such vow was
taken it was merely prospective a vow that
he would take - a vow that while in his candi
dacy he was merely under a Course of edutea.
THREE CENTS.
time for the ministry. if the vow which he
took was to prohibit his bearing SUSS if would
also prohibit his sectilarization or his making
money in any secular manner. Again, in the
ease of a' young man of good character Who
was in the
ordersr y ng to be a can
didate for would' the iishop require
him to abandon his connection with that 'ser
vice, while he would permip such candidate to
follow any other business? Ile did not know
that the Christian Church had ever proscribed
the bearing of arms as unlawitd, He was,
therefore, oppOsed to including• in the propo
sition candidates for orders.
The speaker called attention' to the fact
that, by the preposition, the candidacy for
orders WIMP heelSme a refuge for cowardice
and disloyaliy. Then, a Clergyman , could not
lay down his ofliee, enter the army and re
turn to that office but it was ddSigned to
allow candidates to do this very thing.
With reference to the general question In
volved in the eanoir reported MM' by the
Committee on Canons, the speaker noticed
the assertion that had been made, that the
early Church pronouneed anathemas. upon
those of her ministers who bore arms.. But
tim councils of the early Church welt not
infallible, and were not considered to be' in
fallible by the English Church. Moreover,
until the ancient canons were adopted by this
Church, the Church was net bound by therm
if, however, the COTlVelltWa' designed to pro
hibit the bearing of arms, it should so pro
vide as to prohibit only the voluntary bear
ing of arms; otherwise the tendency of such
a canon would be against the Government.
If reQUired bear arms by their country,
and forbidden to do so by thbfr Church, what
was the minister to dot Which should they
oblige? Whatever might be said about the
beauty of disobeying one's country by obe
dience to the Church, the speaker preferred
to obey his country. By bearing his burden
of his country's work, he was doing that
which was most incomparably more accept
able to God than by staying at home for the
purpose of toochips a Sunday-school. Then,
another objection to the propeeitiell was, that
by its reading a minister could go into a re. ,
hellion against thelGovernment ; for so that
he kept out of the army and navy of the United
BMW, he was safe.
In conclusion, he suggested the propriety of
laying the whole subject on the table, or else
the passage of the proposition in such shape
as would prohibit the voluntary bearing of
arms. The strong language which had here
used was not Used -three years ago be
cause it might hurt somebody.
Without taking any vote on the subject, the
convention took up the order of the day for
this hour, which was stated to be the following
resolution, offered by Dr. 110WO on Saturday:
Regohed, That a committee of live be appointed
to consider the canons which relate to -the admis
sion to the ministry, with a view both to making
their meaning more obvious, and to render access
to the prlcEtlind more difficult to unsuitable per
sons; the committee to report tO the JIOXi ennven•
tion; to print their report as as far as practicable;
and to send copies especially to the members elect
at least one month before the assemblage of that
body.
Dr. Hare offered, as a substitute, the follow'
lu Ksolved; The House of Bishops concurring, that
a joint committee of two on the part of each house
be appointed, whose duty it shall be to inquire first,
as to the practicability of making the meaning of
the canons which relate to admission to the minis
tt V more obvious; and, second, as to the practica
bility of altering Meat canons in such a way as may
render access to the priesthood, on the part of un
suitable persons, more difficult.
Resolved, That the joint committee, if they find
'such improvements practicable, shall embody their
views in the form of canons, shall print the scheme,
shall repast to the nett eanVentloll, andSO far .as
may hepossible.sball, at least one monthLefore the
assembling of the convention of 1868, send to each
of the bishops, to each of the deputies elect, to each
Of the members of the present Committee On Canons,
copies of the scheme thus to be reported.
Adopted.
Rev. Mr. Gardiner, of Maine, offered the fol.
lowing
Resolved, That the committee just appointed be
instructed to examine the "Course of Ecclesiastical
SttidlOgl usually presented at the close of the jour
nal of this convention,and to report to the. next, eons
vention such changes therein as the lapse of time
may have rendered expedient, to the end that the
louse of Bishops may be required to make the
same.
lieV, Dr. Mahan offered the following :
Resolved, That the same eomMittee tie instructed,
if alley see et, to frame a canon requiring in all the
dioceses the appointment of one or more examining
presbyters to conduct examinations of candidates.
Rev. Dr. Mead hoped that the gentleman
from Maine would so amend hie resolution as
to refer the matter to the Rowse of isishops,
requesting them to say whether the course of
eecclesiastical studies doee not need revision.
He thought that referring the matter to a com
mittee On an entirely different subject would
only embarrass the matter.
The suggestion of Dr. Meade having been
embodied - in the form of an amendment, it was
adopted ; and the resolution, as amended, was
adopted.
On motion of Mr. William Welsh, of Fenn
sylvania, the Rouse resumed the considera
tion of the subject previously under discus
sion, relative to the bearing of arms by the
clergy and candidates for the holy order.
Rev. Dr. Vinton, of New York, took the floor
opposition to the proposed canon. fie con
tended that as citizens the ministry were
bound by the law of the gospel to obey thoge
who ruled Over usi every law of the leg Isla
tor was tube Obeyed. It wasthe duty. of avert'
Christian man to obey the call of his country,
especially where, as recently, there was so
much need of his services to maintain its ex
istence. The speaker instanced a case where,
after the adoption of this proposition, prOhib
iting. a minister from taking up arms in the
military service, a Western settlement, under
missionary charge, is attacked by Indians.
Here would be a man Ark:WNW/Wed AV%
defending himself or joining in the general
defence.
He moved that the whole matter be indefi
nitely postponed.
Dr, Clark, of Connecticut, referred % the
history of the canon on this subject which
was presented in 1862. He was astonished to
hear several deputies assert thatthis body was
here legislating against the State. In regard
to that class of persons who had solemnly de
dicated themselves to the DerVi.ce ef God the
speaker said that , they had their positi on,
and those of laymen ,were widely different.
With respect to candidates also, the same re
mark held good. He did not believe that there
was an executive officer in any of our States
Who would not say if Buell. a Canon was pro
posed, " if that is a law of your church, it
must be respected," as bad already the excel
lent Governor of Connecticut. lie considered
it to be the paramount duty of the body to
pass such a cation.
Mr. William Welsh, of Pennsylvania, in be
half of Committee on Canons, said that it was
perfectly evident that either the Committee
on Canons had misconstrued the law and the
Gospel or the speakers had, When a minis
ter of the Gospel took his uommission
he was to fight the devil on bonded knee. He
then explained the evident meaning of
the committee, in the canon which they
liad presented. He expressed his gratifica
tion that the Church had now an opportunity
of voting directly on this question, if he had
correctly read the Word of God, he imagined
there was one class of men who were to be de
voted exclusively to the work of Christ. The
question was, wb.ether at this first reunion of
the chunhes, this Rouse should devote itself
to the work of winning souls to Christ or
waste its time in wrangling. The proposed
action screened go man from thelaw, but it
was simply alarming a prineiple. The United
States law was very simple, but this tenet
would no more protect a man after its passage
than before, ,
The speaker then iteefewml the intentions
expressed in the amendments which had been
proposed. If the Church was not ready to
day to affirm the principle that the minis
try shall do nothing but lead souls to Christ,
she would be ready some day. The Church
was asked to dixorce herself ftOin the State,
and a voice had been heard from Canada warn
ing the Church against such a union.
Rev. Wm. C. Mead, D. D., of Connecticut,
moved to postpone the subject, in order fo al
low the members of the Rouse an opportunity
of signing the credentials of the Rev. Charles
Todd Quintard, M. D., thus.ratifying his elec
tion as Bishop of the diocese of Tennessee.
The motion having been carried, the sign
ing of the credentials was conamenced, the
members of the House severally appending
%heir signatures in the order of the states
from which they came,
The Committee on Typographical Brian%
submitted a report which was acceeted, after
which the House adjourned till this morning
at 10 cablook. -
Tomorrow the Intereettog services of the
consecration of Bishop Quintard, of Smiles
see, will take place.
