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

was also spokeswoman, came to one of

trancingtpicture.

everpresent hoopskirl and loinalocan;
—these uninspiring spots are now
transformed into beautiful rows of
aestheticaw designed In uses, or

keep pace the true and the good
in our domestic enviiomneiit.

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

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.

unanimously re-elected.

the usefulness and accepta'oiliiiy of
Bishop Howe witli a large propor

We feel quite sure that ail sincere
Christians of all tiie denominations,
will regret this trouble that has befal

some happy solution may he found

title each to tlie same rights, and
privileges, the breach will be wideu-
