The lonnty and l?gislative Nomina* tlon;. Completed and tbe County Con? vention Adjourned Sine Die-Sketches of the Legislative Aspirants. The Regular Br publican County Conven? tion reassembled at Military Hall at about ll o'clock yesterday morning, and got to work lo a far more orderly and quiet manner than might have been expected from the spirit manifested at its breaking up on the previous evening. The first measure adopted was the very sensible one of excluding from the hall all persons except the members of the con? vention, and after this was accomplished the delegates proceeded quietly to the balloting for candidates for tbe assembly from the city. The nanies before the convention were tho same aa published in THK NEWS of Friday, and tbe number of votes received by each was as follows: E. J. Adams.67 A. T. Williams.16 J. L. Walker.63 Chas.

I W. G. PInokney moved that T. H. Jones be nominated by acclamation as one of the re-1 mainlng candidates for the Assembly. This motion was seconded by stephen Brown in a characteristic and glowing speech, and it was adopted nnanimoasly. Sheriff Mackey arose and announced the withdrawal from tbe contest of H. W. Hend ricks. Tnis announcement was received with J applause, al though Captain Hendrioks declares emphatically that he authorized no one to withdraw bis name, and appears by no means complacent over tbe action of the sheriff and the conveutlon. E. J. Adams then moved that H. C. Mlnott, who received the next I highest Dumber of votes, to Captain ?endrlckc, I be nominated by acclamation, and this motion J was also carried unanimously.

Sketches of the past record ot the various candidates on the Bolters' ticket, aud of the county nominees on the Regular ticket, have already appeared in THE NEWS.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION A HE F LY TO ''CHURCH MAX.' A Vindication of the Position of Bishop Howe. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Your paper ol the 28th September coo taloa an elaborate article, signed "Churchman," on Bishop Howe's late pastoral. The article cannot pass unnoticed. Io jour widely clrcu- j lated Journal lt bas been read by many who perhaps will not trouble themselves to ascer? tain irom other quarters what has been or | may be Bald by those who think differently, and, therefore, a place ls asked for the follow? ing remarks, though removed, like the article referred to, from the ordinary topics ol a | newspaper : 'Churchman" arrives at the conclusion that the late decision of the bishop relating to choral service, supported by the official and, therefore, well-considered opinion of his canonical advisers, "was the result of misap? prehension and consequent misconstruction ol that upon which such ruling was based." Remembering the position and qualifications of those who are responsible tor this ruling, the bishop, and a body composed of able cler? gymen and lawyers, and comprising men of all schools of thought, the words quoted are, to say the least, a Utile Btarlllog. Tue rigbt of members of the church io discuss matters of confessedly great interest to them, is not questioned. Nor ls lt proposed here lo reply at large to the paper referred to. Such reply could not be compressed Into requisite limits. The present writer should say tte has not tbe honor to belong to the standing committee, and ls not authorized to speak lor the bishop, or the committee, or any one ot them. But the unity of'the church and the harmony, of j her me moer i are of the highest conooru to all who love her. To distrust and qi:et> tlon, with deep searchings of heart and mind, our Individual tastes, and even our opinions, upon matters touching that nulty nud harmony, ls only lo apprehend and be loyal to the true church Idea. When individ? ual opinion is arrayed against that of "apos? tles (bishops) and elders come togetiisr for lo consider of tliis mailer," surely it ls time to call upon churchmen to "lake heed how they bear." Hore than ibis-when Individual con? clusions, reaobed by examining the subject with light Jrom one single quarter, are arrayed against those of a body who, in the oonsclen clous diecharge ot a solemn official duty, rest? ed uot, acted not, until light was had Irom every quarter, we say with emphasis to church? men, . ? we ought to give the more earnest j heed" to the tatter than to the former. For bow stands the case ? The bishop ls not clear as to the lawfulness of the choral service; a question of form or ceremony in worship. Events require bim to { deolde'. It ls his duty so to do-recognlz-wi bj* the whole cburoh In the last General Con? vention to be his duty. He cannot avoid lt lt he would. Remembering that he ls pastor over the whole flock, earnest in bis endeavor to ascer? tain whether choral service ls "Justified by a | fair and careiul Interpretation ol the liturgical rules," he ls unwilling to rely wholly on his own investigations, and calls together his ca? nonical advisers. Grave men go to Work to discharge a grave duty. It is a solemn Judi? cial act they have to perform. Does a Judge hear but one side ? Who can doubt that these Judges rose above superficial, narrow, one? sided views, and discarding preconceived Ideas sought truib on all sides, and finding lt, fol? lowed lt fearlessly, tbough leading, lt may be, in directions other than they had pre-sup Sosed. Their worn was one ol Interpretation, one knew belter than they tbe recognized rules by which law is Interpreted, rules well deflnea yet broad and comprehensive. By such rates wo?doubt uot tiley roached their conclusion, as was tn el r duty. Hear what one of tbe highest authorities says of Interpreting canon and ritual law: "We have for our guidance and the light of our path rubrical and canonical provisions, expo? sitions ol the learned bishops and doctors ai the EogllBh Church, decisions ol Euglah tri? bunals, and a fountain of explanation lu unit? ed declarations of both nauseo of convention. And when alt these are silent or Indistinct, when novel questions arise where the written law has no chart, and these sources of coo-1 ? struct!on yield no Solution? we baye the do? mestic forum of the cburoh to resort to, the primitive residuary power ot the bishop," But bow ls it with "Churchman ?" He 1B satisfied with light from one single source. It Is a guide, but only one ol the guides resorted to ou such occasions. He makes "a collection of rubrics from different sources of the prayer? book," and BO be Interprets one by another that ls, If a word in one rubrip will bear a| glvea d?finition, and will not bear It in anoth? er, he is at once satisfied that ouch definition ls altogether and everywhere erroneous, re ?[artless ot thejeffect of use and context upon ts several applications. What will be Ray to the word "let" employed not In merely dif? ferent, but In exactly opposite senses in two ot our glorious collects, that for the i our iii Sunday lu Advent, "whereas we are sore, let and hindered in running the race that ls Bet before ue and again in that for the sixteenth Sunday afier Trinity, "let thy continual pity cleanse," &c. Then he pastes by use, a necee sary element In rubrical interpretation. But "Churchman"disclaimstblB. He says, "weare not discussing use lu the church, nor basing our lawful rendering of the service upon ii. We are addressing ourselves lo rubrical Inter? pretation;" as if ibe two things could be sepa? rated. He who discards use, when bp sets himself to Interpret the rubrics of the prayer? book, disqualifies himself for the task, and cannot prove a true prophet. The navigator who sticks to shallow water will make no dis? coveries, and yet run greater risk from rocks and shoals than another will from deep waler, who looking to his charts and maps ls still guided by the uni ailing needle ever pointing j io the star. The American Church, to nomine, and as an Independent church, has existed only since 1789. But lt ls, and is recognized to be, a branch of tbe Anglican Church, and so a brauch ol Ibe Church Catholic and Apostolic. Tbe church In ibis diocese, a member of the American Church, ls either an offshoot from the Anglican Church or she ls DO church. As an offshoot she has a heritage from the English Church. She has willed to hold that heritage as one of the many members of the whole body, the church general in the United States. So far as doctrine ls concerned, she can alter nothing; so far as ritual Is concern? ed, she bas a right to modify lt. But she bas elected to exercise ibis right only in con? junction with the other dioceses. Such modi? fications as the dioceses agreed upon were made In the book ot common prayer, but sill! the great body of tbe liturgical heri? tage remained Just as it came to us from England. Many ot the rubrics are identical, or nearly so, with those of the English Church. Questions such as that ol choral service neces? sarily take tbe form of ruorlcal interpretation. But lt ls obvious to every one who knows the principles ot law, that no true Interpretation can be had of these derived rubrics without j Inquiry loto tbelr history, To limit that In? terpretation by ih8 present current meaning of words would be to Interpret them Ignorant? ly and erroneously, (witnessthe difference be? tween the "prevent" of common use and the "prevent" of the prayer book,) and would fall to convey the meaning as understood by the iramera of the prayer book. We are bound to assume tbat the bishop and the stand? ing committee, taklog a wider range than "Courchman," and looking lurther baok, had regard to this rule of construction. Another rule is to look to ihe statements and views of those whose acts are to be con? strued. Those who wrote the preface to the prayer-book say: "This church ls far trom In? tending to depart from the Church of England In any essential polot of doctrine, discipline or worship, or further than local circumstan? ces require." Bishop White united with others In the answer ol the convocation ol 1786 to the archbishops and bishops of England, in which the whole church said: "We are unan? imous and explicit In assuring your Lordships that we ueltner have departed nor propoBe to depart from the doctrines of your ohurcb. We have retained the same discipline and jorms of worship (Hallos ours) as tar as was con? sistent with our civil constitutions," ?c., &c. So late as tbe year 1814 ihe House ol Bish? ops and tbe House of Deputies united In the following declaration: "The Protestant Epis? copal Church lo the United Slates ls the same body heretofore known In these States by tbe game of the Church of England, the change of1 ramp, although not of religious prineip doctrine, or tn worship, or in disci% being- induced by a characteristic of Church of England, supposing the Inde dence of tbe Christian churches undur d ent sovereignties." To Bay that tte ct service is peculiar to cathedral church! England ls quite a ru i s lake. lt la p met I ct parochial churches in various parts of kingdom. And that Bishop . White did entertain the opinion that.the psalter was consistent with the rubrics of the Amer prayer book will appear from the following tract from bis memolrs.'.-He would have ferred to the present arrangement the al lng the liberty to thejofficlaling minlsu select psalms at his discretion. Among o consequences he says ( ?One would be the number and length of the psalms dep lng on the choice of the; minister, there w< be great encouragement to the int rod neile the practice of singing inls part of the son instead oi repeating tup verses by the ml ter and the clerk alternately." No dime occurred to him on the score of rubrics, a tbe psalter at least, to singing which "Chu mau" objects equally with other parts. Ll did the fathers of our church imagine t rubrics which certainly meant one thing England could be tortured into giving ot different meaning In Booth Carolina. When Bishop Howe spoke of departure ft usage, he plainly referred to local usage 01 but nut to departure fr qm use. Now, a sp taneous revolution In local usages Is pase ovar the country. It aright, or if you choc did, begln,lo show iteelwn this diocese-no Introducing what "Chttfchman" calla "cbo ter boys," for living men lemember theft old 8t. Philip's churchjftherefore, the late parture from the usage pt not having them rather a return to the older usage of hav them, which may besomeoomfortto "Chm man," but In the fact that everywhere Inqu was abroad and the ch ure h was rousing ben to new activity, and locking to what she I to do, and bow to dojut.- Now, tbe bist knew mat usage may Cttetige,and mav dil in different dioceses, walle use cannot chat except by change of organic law. Thereto lt was flt that lt should-pe fired and sett what might be the usag?s-lo his diocese. Ti law would ba given to - change, and so lt kept under oontrol. If suv lhere be who ii ritualism, they should-rrefleot that they t safe from lt under law which sajB author! lively to change- "thus; tar, but no fartbe Not that ritualism is now driven out, for ll not, and has not, been here. But If any haunted by a vision of it, their fears shot subside because lt is forestalled. Be it observed, th# bishop's pastoral only permissive, not piannatory, except prescribing limits, ft oefjnes what mav done, but leaves to nil perfect freedom oholce within certain bounds. ' Tbe considerations we have suggested,wll out elaborating them, are sufficient to mc "Churchman's" rubrical argument. His cc duding paragraphs most . now be brlei noticed. He bad at tb? outset ot his pap; thought it flt to remind hie readers ot the ni formlty which bad reigned, during the eplac pate of our late lo*ed and lamented chi pastor. Also, he told them that certain of t clergy, "from respect to the late blsboj views and In deference to bia office, did n seek to carry out plans Which they cherts od," t%0? This last fact we were ignorant oi. V thank "Churchman" for the information, adds to a feeling, already strong in our heart of love and respect for a body of clergy wt. while zealouB lu doing their heavenly Haste i work, yet never forgot that loving de tere DI without complaint pr ? queatjo ni ug, lo tho whom He bad put over lDeaj.--.heio on eartl waa their duty in th e.church,, and that-" obey ls better than saerlBce/* Their exat pie deserves to be com rae neted- to all on lb a similar occasion. EL The uniformity, then, which prevailed undi the iast episcopate was the only one truly vs uabie. that which springs not from compu sion, or from unsuccessful resistance, bi from a sense of duty Inspired mainly by til first of the fruits ot the Spirit, love. "Churchman's" concluding paragraphs see to foreshadow a dlffereoutate of things. W trust In this too he will be mistaken. Tire upon Bishop Howe's words, "If the choral se vice should be pronounced unlawful, lt mm 3o laid aside for the present, until sanction? by the General Convention," he founds tb iHsumptiun, or rather series ot assumption that -Mt the bishop, with the standing comml tee, bad decided a service, principally obora not to be contemplated by the Ameroa prayerbook, they who felt with the.blane would have desired the General Convei :ion to distinctly sanoilon lt.'- Next, I a assumed thar, if the choral service wa lor the present to be laid aalde, and the da was looked to when the General Conventlo should sanction lt, (all this, he says, being quit natural to Infer.) "then,"continues "Cuurcfi man," "we suppose that all due and props affort would have been made by the blsnoj ind delegates who attended ibe General Con mention and were in favor of a choral Bervlci to Induce that body to authorize a musical ran dering ot the service," Ac, Ac Now all th I. ls mere card-house oullalng, and overthrow! hy a single word, as such building Is by i breath-lt is wholly gratuitous. Bishop Ho we' words simply convey tbis and no more, viz If you cannot do as you wish you must be sat Isfled while things remain as they are. Ant though "Churchman" found a mare's nest ii the bishop's words, we wonder upon wh? ground he included as aooessorles to the deep fald plan "the delegates." We are not aware ot their having said u word. ID. fact, however their silence la just as good foundation for thc assumption as the bishop's words. This lt another instance, like bis rubrical interpreta lions, of the laclllty with which "Churchman' reaches conclusions, by his own mode of rea? soning. But as we read on lt becomes quite plain why lt was expedient to build up all Uieu card-houses. The opponents of choral service will be only turning upon the other side theil own guns when they (tbe opponents) "make snob effort through the next General Conven? tion, and by their own influence therein, at may prevent a change;" that ls, a change ex? pressly allowing choral service. Now lt seems unnecessary that "Churchman" should have Bought Justification for this by assuming what others would have doue. The French proverb says: "Who excuses himself accuses himself.'1 We think, bowever, we may undertake to pay lo "Churchman," that tue threatened effort lo one direction will be as useless as that which ha assumes would have been made by the bishop and deputies io another, would have been unnecessary. "Churchman" takes for granted that tba General Convention will agree with him that chang? or law will be necessary to render lawful, choral service. But the General Convention, as a body, enter? tains no doubt of the lawfulness or choral services. Here ls the proof. We know not of Its being objected to lu any diocese, except, perhaps, Virginia, and lt ls practiced in many. In none ot the canons or resolu? tions proposed to the last General Convention, for the suppression of ritualism, was any allu? sion to choral service, because not regarded SB among "ri nial ls tie" practices, symbolizing false doctrine. The canon adopted by the Souse of Bishops and lost by only one vote in the House of Deputies, (but not on account of the section about to be quoted,) declared "that In all questions arising concerning rit? ual observance, the administration of the law ot rimal ot ibis church, whether for enforce? ment or for restrioiion, appertains to the offi? ces and duty of the ordinary, whose official written determination, whether of his own motion or at the official demand either of a rector or of a vestry, shall be held to be the settlement of any question which shall at any time arise concerning ritual ; provided, that contradictory determinations Bhall be subject to revision by the House of Bishops." Amendments were propoeed specifying forms ot worship not allowed, but among these was not choral service. And finally the only action taken afier a long and able debate was that under which lt is presumed Bishop Howe has lett lt bis duty to put forth his late pastoral, viz, the following resolution, almost unanimously adopted : "Resolved, That lo the judgment of this house, the pastoral counsel and advice of the Right Rev. fathers, the bishops ol the church, ls deemed sufficient at this time to secura the suppression of oil that ls Irregular and un? seemly, and lo promote greater uniformity in conducting the public worship of the church, and in the administration of the holy sacra? ments."* It should be particularly noticed that the bishop decides "that the rubrical expression 'read' embraceB both a musical and a non-mu? sical rendering;" so that ihe rubrics need not contradict each other, for use determines where each rendering ls appropriate. PAX. .N OTB .-Tn IB resolution seems to embody the Idea conveyed by the words of the author before quoted-" The Domestic Forum of the Church, ? the prim Uve residuary- power er the Bishop." lt corresponds In aub: taree to the directions in the preface to the Ecf-ton Prayer Book, that "for the resolution of all doubts concerning- the man? ner how io nnder?tand. do and execute the things contained In tola book, the parties that so doubt or diversely ;ake anjthing shall always resort to the bishop of the diocese, who by his discretion, shad take <>rder for the cnletlng and appeasing or the sane, so that the same order be not contrary ro fey thing contained in thia book." Under this direction and the general ca? tare of hli office, a bishop ls referred to when rnbrtcal directions ar j variously interpreted, and the propriety of such reference ls recognized by the ecclesiastical cout ts. Procter In bia work on the prayer book suggests what may have been one reanon for the word ?.rend." Be says: -j.t the time of the last revis? ion the phrase 'to reid prayers' was coming into use, probably to distinguish the settled prayers or the cn arch from the extemporaneous expressions of dissenters." . Andrews gives,': n i isjLatin lexicon ' to recite" as one of the meanings of "legere," and cites from Pliny Instances or Its bein? need la connec tlon with both "carmina" and '-versas;1' and Horace so uses lt nat "recitation" cm be the only sense.

The following carl will appear in the Ad? vertiser to-morrow morning: Editors of the Savannah Advertiser: GENTLEMEN-In your morning's issi fe ol this date appears i dispatch, purporting to have been sent by one M. B. Hale, tho sp?cial agent or detective ol the treasury department ot the United Stater for this section, lo refer? ence to our late elections, in which he says the Greeley parly hud full control of the polls, and that colored men were prevented from voling. Now, sirs, I desire to state that I was present at the.polls most of the day on the 2d of October, and irom my own observation I pronounce this die patch to bo a wilful and malicious falsehood. That the Greeleyltes or Democrats took possession of the polls ls false; that there wits any Interference or at? tempt made to prevent colored men Irom voting I pronounce also false. The truth of the matter Is Just this: Certain custom? house employees and parties from the county and city cheated tli J colored men out ot their votes. They received their dollar, the amount of the poll lax required by law, and gave thom receipts lor the same, with the understanding that it was all righ . These men came to Hie polls with these receipts and offered them to the"? managers, in len ot the tax collector's certificate, required by law. Of course, those bogus receipts wore rejected. Al ' lor the polls being surrounded by the police, ihe roads leading to th ) olty picketed, and voters coming irom ihe country being driven back it Is as false and black hearted a lie aa the man who wrote the dispatch: '- If this dis? patch has been concocted tor political purposes (which I presume li; has) and sent North, I de? sire to s*y Co my Old lr lends and com pan lon 0 lu-af ms, t?.at. HO fir aa Savannah, nay, even Ceorgliy 1?concerned, there ls no State in the Union or no city In tbe world where an honest man ' vrl fi toe* be tu; r treated than here. But what can yod expect from jra?n men ? Their associate* in pol?tica,are who f Penitentiary birds, perjurers and thieves, all of which I cat prove U called upon; and ii my colored friends nave been defeated they,.can thank their lead? ers; for to follow in -the wake of such men le sore defeat, (Signed) H.

The Star says tbe total amount of legal tenders outstanding amounts to three hundred and fifty-six million dollars. The law author? izes the Issue ot fonr hundred millions; thus leaving foriy-four millions reserve In the treas? ury, which the secretary may Issue at bis dis? cretion. It will t hus be seen that the secre? tary ls not at th? mercy ot the New York stock gamblers, aamlgh. be supposed from the small currency balance which appears in the dally cash statement. Ibo secretary does not an? ticipate an em en ency which will render lt necessary for him to draw on this reserve, but should one arise he will do BO to the lullest extent necessary.

Governor Scott Fllea to the Rescue of the Rioter?. The Reporter gives a graphic account of a Radical meeting In Chester which wound up In a row. Later lo the day a row occurred on the cor? ner near Sealy's barroom betweeu two coun? try negroes. Tom Blake, colored, of the town police, went in and attempted to. arrest the parlies who started the disturbance. In this attempt he was met by a gang of rowdy ne? groes, who released the prisoners, and defied his power to make the arrests. In the even? ing he arrested one of the disturbers of the peace and was carrying him to jail when he was set upon again, quite severely beaten, and his prisoner taken away from him. On the following day warrants were Issued against the rioters by Trial Justice McDonald, on the complaint of the town council. Since that time the trial Justice has received a letter of warning from Governor Scott, accusing him of prostituting his office to political purposes, and threatening bim with official deoapiiation In case he coniloues to prosecute the rioters. In the meantime the town wuncll ara deter mined to press the prosecution. If it has come to this pass that a few idle, vicious and vaga? bond negroes can domineer over thei consti? tuted authorities of the town, we want to know i? fact, and be prepared to govern ourselves accordingly. . !
