_IrE Philadelphia Press, in stating that
the State Convention. "upon the nomination
of a majOrity of the delegates-from the dis-.
trict, selected" certain specified delegates,
with their alterriates, to Chicago, entirely
mistakes the facts. In the State. Conven
tion, six of the eight delegates from the
X%IIIrd district voted against 3lcClure's
resolution for the appointment of delegates
by the Convention, and but two gentlem4n
from the district voted for it. The same
majority opposed Ut2 entire action of the
Convention in that regard as, an unwar
ranted and unjustifiable Stretch ofauthority.
And the Conferees of the district, meeting
subsequently, nuide up the delegation lo
Chicago to suit the ruling' sentiment of
their contitituents: They chose• to appoint•
but three of the four gentlemen whom the
State Convention had already named, re
versing the position of one of these three
from a delegate to an alternate, and adding
another name to'the list, to the exclusion of
one of the appointees;
So far as the same journal, In its state

instructions, for 'either President or Vice
President, would create, intentionally or
otherwise,, an impreision that the Conferees

episcopal character. On the other hand Dr.
Dix is charged with fraternizing with those
Who would glire - great offence to the evan
gelical party in the Episcopal Church:
This rumor is denied. It seems that this'
unfortunate spirit, So much berated as ex
isting in the Episcopal Church, is not con
fined alone to that body, but that the same
spirit of conservatism exists among'a cer
tain class of Baptist ministers, who ' hold
exclusive view& Mr. Hubbard, the Epis
copal clergyman of Westerly, Rhode
Island, who exchanged pulpits with
Mr. Dennison, the Baptist minister, wish
ed to go farther in the work of fraternization,
and offered to receive the communion at the
hands of Mr. Dennison. The latter refused
on the ground that Mr. Hubbard had not
been baptized by immersion. A More lib
eral. Baptist preacher, Rev. Mr. Malcolm, of
Newport, R. 1., however, held a union sac
' ramental service, in which clergymen of
other denominations assisted in distributing
the elements of communion. The "close"
Baptists are pouring out vials of wrath on
Mr. Malcolm for his liberal • course. No
comment is necessary, nor is it well for us
to express our views, as to the conduct of
either party in these Churches. - Time alone
will adjust the frictionS in the different eccle
siastical systems, far more certainly and
completely than in any other way. The high
tribunal, the General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church will likely
have the disputed questions in that Church,
among the ministers, and the people, before
[ them for adjustment. 31 eanwhile, it is bet
ter to wait for the solution of the disturbing
questions by the General Convention.
But, as to the circumstances connected
especially with the case of the younger Mr.
Tyng, we fay remark that he is reported
as denying that he has again violated any
of the canons of his Church since he re
ceived the reprimand of . the Bishop. He
also declares that he has never joined in any
plan .to defy the authority of the Church,
but announces that he shall not attend a
second trial, if summoned by his' ecclesiasti
cal superior.
Irrespective of the statements which are
thus attributed to him,, it has seemed to us
that this clergyman has reached a position
where he should find no difficulty in taking
an independent stand; outside Of a denomi
nation within which he is unwilling to ren
der that obedience which its canons reqiilre
from all its ministers. If he can no longer
heartily concur, in and conform his conduct
to the letter and spirit of its rubric, his
place is evidently no longer within the pale
of that denomination. He is at perfect lib
erty to withdraw from a communion which
he no longer finds congenial; he need not
per ist in exposing himself to a discipline
spatty which the outside world may feel,
in behalf of any general principle of catho
rl
hebemlity, which recognizes and honors
equ . ly_the evangelically Christian spirit of
vari ns denominations, can at the same
time justly excuse the clergyman who, in-'
I I
stead of freely and consistently exercising
his individual freedom, in such a connec
tion is shall harmonize with his own views
tooof d ty, finds it instead agreeable or politic
cli gto his earlier choice, and yet main
taini g a constant war against its discipline,
and ming to achieve some sort of notorie
ty by a perpetual and turbulent disregard of
its ea ons and rules of order. "
hite Rev. Mr. Tyng is an Episcopalian,
(
let , among other Christian graces, emu
late that of obedience to the authorities of
the church which its ministers have pledged
themselves to acknowledge. If the discip
line be distasteful, let him:assail its objec
tionable features, and attempt their reform,
in be tteraccorancewith his peculiar views,
by the proper and orderly Juctitods which
prescribe the submission o(all such ques
tions to certain apPellate tribunals. If he
cannot do' this, he is •no longer a proper
member ofthat particular denomination ; his
place is elsewhere, and he is entirely free to
occupy it at once; for he can gain no especial
credit in aiming at a very doubtful sort of
spiritual martyrdom, in an ixTegular war
; fare against the authorities whom he has
[ not yet disavowed and din whose coin
(

opinions which we express are applicable to
other denominations arid to all other similar
cases, as well as to that of Mr. Tyng and
the enlightened and powerful Church of
which he has been, apd periMps still in ?
tends to continue, a member. Our criticism,
although suggested by a particular case, is
'intended to be general. We have no de
nominational bias, but we do entertain a de

EkTIQUETTEIIN THE STREET.
Than true politeness there is Probably
nothing more charming, certainly very little
is more rare. Some one has said that "the
true gentleman is always .h gentlaman;" if
this be so, judging by the shocking want of
politeness manifested - in the streets and
places of public amusement, there is but
little of it to be found in the city, compara-,
,tively speaking of course.
Walking down Fifth street we the
street be crowded, be violently thrust aside
half a dozen times while walking half as
many blocks,- by rnen who are not in a vio
lent hurry, but who do neglect the univer
hal laws of public etiquette. In crossing a
muddy thoroughfare, the chances are ten to
one that some passing driver will touch up
his horses and endeavor to pass in front of
you or• make 'you drop your dignity, and
literally run for your life. You get into a'
street car and find men hawking and squirt
ing the nicotian juice on all things, crowd
ing down into a narrow space, between two
other People without as much as a "by your
leave"..whert roam is to be had in other parts
of the car, rising to give place when sothe
pretty girl steps into the car, and lounging
over double space, when some infirm old
man or withered hag stands tottering in the
aisle; or rushing to get out with an utter dis
regard to the feelings always to be found in
men's toes when pressed.
' All of these are obvious breaches of the
laws of street politeness.. Every man has
his equal rights in the street. Each one
Who walks the pavement is protected in
those rights by the laws of the city, and yet
some men push and crowd and squirt brown
defiance from their mouths while their eyes
look around as if they only had rights and
all others were infringing them. As to giv
ing up seats, in cars, every man has ; a right
to do that or not as he pleases, but he should
be consistent; if he gives up his place be
cause a less robust person would- be forced
to stand if he did not do so, why then old
men and women should get it before young
ones. If, however, he gives it up out of
respect to a pretty face, he should remember
that more reverence is due to gray.hairs
than to brown ones, and act accordingly.
Even the weaker and more lovely portion
of mankind is not always polite in the
streets. To say nothing of the trails which
sweep through the dirt until we are willing
to agree with Every _Afternoo n in asserting
that whatever may become of man, the end
of woman is dust. These discommode us,
but le -all bow down to fashion. Still,
there're little things which might be better
done. It is not necessary, for instance, as
soon as a man has passed a bevy of girls,
for the bevy 'to set to giggling, and making
audible personal remarks. It is not right
that two females should cross the muddy
streets abreast when theie are .'but two rows
of steppmg stones, nor is it necessary to say
"Well, I never," if some man coming in
the opposite direction refuses to step into the
mud and insists on keeping to the right ,
as directed by the 'legal authorities of the
Commonwealth. We hardly consider it
polite for women to walk up and down the
aisles of crowded halls repeatedly, after they
have found out that no seats are vacant; and
we nest certainly neyer give our seats in a
street car to any aromas who brazenly and
conspicuously laments, while standing in
the aisle, the decadence of politeness in men.
The lack of breeding is always distressing
when publicly made apparent, , but more
particularly is this the case when 'the person
displaying it is well dressed; In spite of
republicanism, we alWays do expect more
from a person arrayed in broadcloth or vel
vet than from the wearer of fustian or
frieze, and when we do not find it we - are
the more disappointed. By a very slight
effort on the part of every citizen, the whole
tone of street society might be changed for
the better, and we fully believe that thought
lessness and not ignorance is often the cause
of many breaches of etiquette in the street
THE editor of the- Janesville Gazette,
whose word is entirely reliable, writes this
about a man whose public position is our
only excuse for giving circulation to such
personal gossip :
Yates has been on a perpetual spree for
seine weeks, but now a committee of ladies,
with Bishop Simpson at their head, • have
got possession of him'and hope to get him
sober once more. Mrs. Yates is a Methodist
lady ofgreat worth, and Yates himself often
leans that way, (I speak theologically and
not literally) hence the efforts of the good
Bishop to win back this erring man to the
path of duty and usefulness. If impeach
ment should fail for the want of Yates' vote,
there would be such music in our
neighboring State of Illinois as 'was never
heard before, and the great necessity of
electing sober men to o,
llice—a lesson re
peated many hundred times in this country
_would receive such emphasis as. to pierce
the dull ear of every constituency through
out the length and breadth of the land.
steel vs. Iron Rath.
An ...Erie railway report of last month
says: "With the ten miles laid with the
John Brown Bessemer steel no fault need
be found: - But one rail has broken during
the Wjneer, and no lamination and very little
woe'is perceptible. Twenty steel rails
were laid in Jersey City yard last March;
fife iron rails adjoining, subject to the same
wear, have been renewed four times since
th e steel was put down, and I have. no
doubt the steel rails will outlast three times
as many more iron rails.

him and conduct him into the middle of `the

his hand, pointed toward the eandidate, and
each member will be required, in the pres

said candidate prove recreant to the oath
which he is about to take, that he will kill
him, and make it his especial duty to do so
on the first safe opportunity. As soon= as
the shrouded brothers have taken the above
oath, the following charge and oath shall be
administered by the Grand Cyclops, or, in
his absence, the Vice Grand:
"Here in the preserice of this skull and
the members here assembled, I solemnljr
swear to be true to the Order, to its mem
. hers individually and collectively, and
should I ever, by sign, word or deed, betray
a secret, or a member of the Brotherhood,
that the skull upon`which I now look may
be a counterpart of mine, and I hope that
all the social relations which I now enjoy
may be sundered, that honesty in the men
,or virtues in the females may not be known
in my family or generation; and that all who
own my name shall be branded as dogs and
harlots. I further swear to obey implicitly
the orders of the Grand Cyclops, regularly
issued through his Council, and as soon as - 1
receive an order to fulfill it. I again swear
that. should a member of this order be .in
danger, that, even at the risk of my life, I
4111 defend and endeavor to'save him; that
I will give no outward sign or hint that a
Person mlAy know of the existence of the
K. K. K., unless
-authorized by the
Grand Cyclops, and that each mem
ber of this Order, as soon as the sign is
given, I will recognize, defend and protect
as a brother. I further swear, that I will,
under and in all circumstances, bear true
allegiance - to the South and her interests, as
interpreted by the Supreme Cyclopean
Council, and when I receive its orders,
should I even be in the embraces of my
wife, I will leave her to obey them.
further swear that all Radicals and negroes,
who have placed themselves opposite tothe
interests of the owners of the soil of Ten
nessee shall forever homy enemies, and that
under no circumstance will I have other
connection with them, if I can help it, than
to "welcome them with bloody hands to
hospitable graves." That my family and
the family of a Radical shall never inter
change visits, and I further pray that the
God of Mb Southland ; whom I now invoke,
shall strike me dead shall I ever, either in
letter or in spirit, fefringe upon the things
set forth in this oath. To all of which I
swear in honesty of heart and suncerety of
p
purpose. So hey me God:"
A Radical Editor Couvereea with Graut.
Mr. A. 3!. Thompson, editor of the Jane
sville Gazette, undone of the best writersand
sound politicians of Wisconsin, has seen
Grant, and is delighted with the man. He
writes home to his paper from Washington:
i*"At the residences of the Washburns, on
aturday evening, (General C. C., of our
State, and E. 8., of Illinois, are keeping
house together on Capitol Hill), I had the
pleasure of meeting a gentleman to whom
' the people are now looking with confidence
and hope -- General U. S. Grant. Being a.
little Radical myself (only a little dear read
ers of the Gazette, but still a little) and hay
big been an anti-slavery man long before
the Republican party was born, I am free
to confess that my hat has been irreverently
kept on my head while the air has been
blackened with the exultant toss of the caps
of my political associates, in honor of the
great chieftain. 'I :always 'admired him as
an honest, true man - and as'a great General,
but I felt Ma; at this crisis in our
national affairs we could not afford to run
any risks of being cheated In our selection
of candidates, so I said that as soon as I
could be satisfied Grant was to be 'trusted,/
should be heartily in ids favor.' ' This assu
rance of the General's soundness upon the
Political questions that have. disturbed and
agitated the public mind, - was given long
ago, and. the Republican party declared for
him with a unanimity never before known.

OA few days ago, the - telegraph annour.l
ced that the Governor of Nevada had, by
the strongest, means in his power, quelled
the disturbances in .the above mines. The
Owyhee (Nevada) Avalanche, March 19th,
has the following particUlars:
"We took a stroll over the Oro Fino
mountain last Wednesday,* and found quite
a belligerent state of affairs. Proceeding
from the Oro Fino mine over the summit,
we noticed parties shoveling snow, and
umn inquiry, learned Mit a man named
Woodhouse had sunk a shaft on a ledge in
the vicinity of the New York, and which
the Ida Elmore party claim is
within their proper boundaries. On
the morning in question Woodhouse was
down in the shaft, which, we understand,
was about twenty feet deep. Being ordered
to come out, he refused, and two men com
menced to fill the" shaft With snow, above
which Woodhouse, with considerable exer
tlon, managed to keep his head, until the
s s haft was filled up, which brought him to
the urfhce: We- then visited. the Ida El-
more and Golden Chariot mines, and I ob
served many of the miners standing around
idle, while other parties in both mutes were
silently hurrYing to and fro with guns and
pistols. From the onsinows,Jooks of. those
Interested, together with the martial array,
we concluded that trouble was brew
ing. We went Alown into the Golden
Chariot awl saw the "bone of con..

in our last, where the partition
wall was broken down, and the workmen in
both mines met. The lights were extin

reports of guns and pistols reverberating
through the long, dark passages The fight
had commenced! Wo felt considerably re
lieved upon gaining" the surface of the
grOund and once more beholding the light
of day. We learn that the combatants have
fortified themselves in the stops and drifts.
It is not known on the outside that anyone
has been seriously hurt, although it is re•
ported that one man's coat tail was shot off,
and another had his fingers cut with a bul
let. It is feared that something fatal will
occur before the affair is terminated, as both
parties are well armed. We learn that they
have been trying to drown each other out,
and it is reported that the Ida Elmore party
are preparing hose by which to eject hot
steam and water upon their, antagonists.
About forty shots were exchanged on Thurs
day. This sort of affairs is to be regretted.
