Our Episcopal friends of the Diocese oftSouth Carolina arc in serious troub le. The cloud has been gathering for .-ome years, and now it has hurst in all its fury upon a hitherto quiet and conservative diocese. The facts are these: There is in the City of Charles ton a congregat ion of colored Euisco- palians with a colored Pastor. At the recent Diocesan Convention, held in the City of Ciiarlcston, the Bishop entered the name of this colored clergyman on the list of the clergy of the Diocese’ and thus gave him a prima fteh right to a seat in the Con vention. This action of the Bishop was resented by a majority of the lay men and some few of the clergy pres ent, and all soils of parliamentary tactics were resort -d to to organize the Convention without recognizing the membership of the brother in black. These eltbrts failed, whereupon the delegates from twenty out of the thir ty-three parishes, witli four tho i lerical members withdrew from the Convention. On the following day an elibrt was made to induce the seced ing members to return, but without avail. The Convention preceded to organize, a quorum being present at tended to ivmunj business and then dinary intelligence, led by a lady who was also spokeswoman, came to one of the officers of the Paymaster General «tvcr> exerts itself in reproducing taesnui- lies of clfcieal and medieval art, and of the mpdern renaissance, in the mausioiTS of the rich, and the less pre- tentiou^Mvnone the less charming duellingBm the man of moderate means,-111together compose an en- trancingtpicture. Localitfrs that we arc accustomed to assocKc with dreary wastes of coinmonCand stagnent pools, given over to ute frolicsome unties of the frisky goiTts, and the digniticd waddle of the im% sedate gander, who con tested tliejdght of occupany with the everpresent hoopskirl and loinalocan; —these uninspiring spots are now transformed into beautiful rows of aestheticaw designed In uses, or more pietinajsque cottages witli pretty latidseape •fleets. Tims tlie cultiva tion of the beautiful G proved to keep pace the true and the good in our domestic enviiomneiit. With each y« ar the numb r of pilgrims t'f" tliis Mecca o. America increases;—lat first tlie happy bridal couple, inspired by tlie promptings of the little god, came: next, tlie prim teacher with her following of merry school girls—the former bent Solely upon the search for mental pabulum for her eliur^iiug Ut.ood—the last, per haps, dividing this most commenda ble pursuit jvitli a determination to have a real good time:—after a while the wealthy class of leisure and cul ture made the discovery tliat it was rite proper thing to do, to pay visit to the social as well as political centre, before the iinni departure for summer i»» the seasiiie or mountain resort. And so the isolated excursion party developed into the social custom, and it has. at length, become fashionable for Baltimore, Rliiladelphin, New York, ond Boston, and even Chicago, to send yearly tlieir quota to this at tractive resort for wealth, intelligence and refinement. The want of a proper conception, in the average tourist, of the operations of this gigantic government, is very apparent. The several departments, which are but the vast counting houses of the nation, are a never ending source of wonder to the uninitiated. What so many peo; le find to do, and they certainly do have the appearance of being busily engaged at something, is the lirst tiling that impresses the stranger. Multiply the force employed hy any of our largest business establish ments, by a number which will rep resent the greater extent of the Gov ernment’s transactions as compared with those of the private business Louse, and you will f.mi an appoxi- mate idea of the needs ol the service.
