JUTUAXISX.
Thc Protestant Episcopal Triennial
Convention-.
Ia the Episcopal Convention on Tuesday,
Mr. William Welsh, of Philadelphia, informed
the House that the Bishops conld not get
through with the business nntil Thursday
evening. Ho also announced that the joint
committed had made arrangements tc hold
the closing exercises of the Convention at
Calvary Church, on Thursday evening;, at hall
past seven P. M.
The Bus80-Greek Committee appointed by
the last General Convention presented a long
report on their investigations into the condi?
tion of the Busac-Greok Church, and the pro?
bability of a anion between it and the Anglican
Church. They consider it ripe for such union.
Bev. Dr. Haight, frem the Committee on
Canons, reported (and the report was adopt?
ed, ; that it is inexpedient to grant the prayer
of certain memorialists, that any minister
might, in the Book of Common Prayer, omit
such words, or expressions, or passages as he
might conscientiously believe to be not in ac?
cordance with the Holy Scriptare, for the rea?
son that it would destroy uniformity in public
worship, and also deprive congregations ox'
their right to ? uniform liturgy and in contra?
vention of the C?ns?hi??n ol lae church.
xne committee also reported against the
proposition to curtail the period of probation
tor rainista''9 of other denominations seekinsr
ordination in the Episcopal Church. Dr. H.
said the time, as now fixed, was six months. Ii
the prayer of the petitioners were granted,
then a minister might preach in ono place to?
day, and in the Episcopal Church one week
afterwards. Adopted.
An animated debato followed on a report
from the committee to whom was referred a
canon proposed by Rsv. Dr. Adams, in relation
to certain hymn?. The committee substituted
therefor a resolution declaring that until the
collection of hymns be revised, it shall be law?
ful to sing any hymns from the books known
as '* Hymns, Ancient and Modern," and
"Hymns" for Church and Home," with the con?
sent of the Bishop ot the diocese. The reso?
lution, ip. reported by the committee, was
adopted.,
The orfler of the day, being the majority and
minority reports on Ritualism, was tuen called
ap
The majority report concluded with a reso
Intion declaring the sense of the Convention to
be that the enactment of any canon on the
subject of Ritualism would bc unwise and in?
expedient at the present time; that the avoid?
ance of the dangers of irreverence and lawless?
ness on ene hand, and of extravagance and su?
perstition on the other, and the preservation
of doctrine from the peril of intentional or un?
intentional change, require that all ministers
of the church, in ail matters doubtful, should
refer to the Ordinary for guidance, and that, no
changes should be made against the godly
counsel and judgment of the Bishop.
The minority report was presented by thc
Bev. Dr. Howe, of Pennsylvania. It closed
with several resolutions declaring the sense of
the Convention to be that the maintenance of
"rjuiforrnity and simplicity in worship is ex?
ceedingly desirable to secure the church from
the introduction of unsound doctrine. While
there is no absolute directory in the canon of
rubrics of the church specifying alt' official
vestments and practices, and all ecclesiastical
ornaments flinch maybe fitly used therein, yet
there is the indication of great simplicity; and
the traditional usage of the church in this be?
half, from the date of its organization here to
the present period, is in con?ormity therewith,
and has, in the hearts and minds of the great
body of its local members, the force of law;
that none otha than the "clerical habit" known
to our fathers, and referred to by the House of
Bishops at the General Convention of 1844, ns
appropriate to ministers officiating in the con?
gregation-bands, gowns and surplices, with
their customary appendages, cassocks and
black stoles-be provided, and that no strange
ornaments uf the sacred places, conducive to
Tain show or superstition, be introduced; and
"that the burning of lights in the Order of the
Holy Communion, the burning of incense, rev?
erences to the holy table or to the elements
thereon, the elevation of the elements, making
the sign of tho cross (except when prescribed
in the rubric), oro innovations which wound
the conscience of many members of the
church.
Judge Conyngham, of Pennsylvania, sup?
ported the minority report as in accordance
with the spirit and customs of their forefath?
ers. He did not rise to oppose the majority
report-he deemed legislation on this subject
unnecessary at this time-but if any legislation
is necessary and to be adopted, he preferred
the resolutions presented by the minority. He
condemned the ritualistic tendencies and
changes of the present day, and showed their
injurious effects upon the minds of the young.
But why, be asked, were these changes made
or adopted? What necessity existed for them?
Ho hoped that the House would reflect and see
how it looked to others, and act accordingly.
Judge Otis, of Illinois, spoke against the sub?
stitute. He said that no minister of the church
could be tried for offences committed contrary
io resolutions of this convention. They can
only be tried for offences against the canons
and doctrines of the church. This House can?
not legislate to deprive ministers of the right
to carry out their own conscientious convic?
tions. There is nothing in the legislation of
the church against teaching by symbols, and
these so-called innovations have been acknow?
ledged and practiced in the Church of England
"since the Reformation.. Ibis, church in the
TJnited States is not a new'church, but is a
branch of the English Church, both by law and
fact; and as such, they have never violated the
principles, doctrines, or practices of the Churoh
of England. And wherever a colonist ot Eng?
land goes, he carries the common law as well
as the religion of England with him; if we ad?
mit him, we allow bim the right to be governed
"pj the same. We are here as the primitive
??urch of the Christian world. We stand in
the middle iine between Some and Geneva,*
and allow the utmost toleration, provided
neither oversteps the line. [Laughter.] From
1780 to 1809 the English Church lost 89,000 of
her communicants by her intolerant acts to
~ward John Wesley and tho Methodists. Ho
boped this Convention would not follow that
ox implo, but would allow the utmost ?bet ty
consistent with peace, and harmony, and good
order.
". Mr. 8. B. Ruggles, of New York, followed
' Mr. O tis in the same strain asking for tolera?
tion. He repeated his remarks made upon
this same subject when it was brought up in
the Convention of 1859, to show were he then
stood and stands now. He urged toleration,
-.?nd if he moved anything il would be to lay
these two abstract propositions on the table.
But ne did not want to move anything at this
time.
Dr. Mason, of North Carolina, expressed his
sympathy with the minority resolutions, but
he thought the majority report was very wise
in allowing liberty and toleration. There are,
he said, various kinds of r<.ligions-of spiri?
tuality, of idolatry, of superstition, of sym?
bols, of sensuousness, &c. He called atten?
tion to the establishment of the sacrament of
the Lord's Sapper where a table and not an
altar was used, and candles were on that table,
but not for purposes of worship. He could not
therefore concur at all in the practices of the
Bituahsts.
Dr. Height opposed the resolutions of tbe
minority as being untrue at d not founded upon
facts. Uniformity of rites and ceremonies was
never adopted m the church in this countrv.
Then there was another view which his friend
from Illinois bad exploded-namely, that this
is anew church. He denied that this church
was anything else than the Church of England
in America. And whatever is not prohibited is
not only allowed, but bindinsr. He related in?
cidents of his experience during his ministry
in Ohio and in Trinity Church, to show the
want of uniformity and the multiplicity of
changes that have taken place within troin
thirty to fifty years. Hs mentioned three
things to show the fallacy that lay at the bot?
tom of the minority's report. He was in favor
of toleration. *
Dr. Breck, of Delaware, related incidents of
his experience m travelling around in differeut
churches , in search of Ritualism, both in this
city, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and eleewhere, to
show that the church is not so distracted nor
in such danger as many gentlemen suppose
and believe.
Dr. Barr, of Ohio, corrected impressions
made by the speech of his friend from New
York^Haight) in regard to Ohio. He contend?
ed that his diocese was as rubrical as any other tl
in the country. He favored the minority rc- f?
port because he believed it would tend to sreat- u
er uniformity in church worship. But he A
thought that the adoption of either report tl
would be useful as an expression of opinioi*of
this house.
Mr. Ed. McCrady, of South Carolina, took d
exceptions to the statements that this church | o:
is the Church of England in America, and said
if they belonged to any it waa to the Church of
?tJcotland; and moreover, one of their Bishops
came from that church. Ho did not take the
part of ene side or the other, but denied the po?
sitions of both. By act of Parliament the Eng?
lish Church is compelled to adopt nnifewmity.
But it is contended that whatever the Church
of England has done we may do. On the saine
ground we might do whatever the Church of
Jerusalem, or any other church has done, and
by parity of reasoning we mis ht do what ad to?
gether have done. This church is a new
church, he maintained; and reading from the
preface to the Prayer Book, be showed that uni?
formity of ritual and of worship is required.
But the advocates of these chances ignore thia
preface.
Dr. Mulcahey remarked that the country
ministers and people are working nobly for
tho extensi?n of the church. But now and
again thev read in their, chmvh papers of the
growth of Bitualism-of Puseyim-in this city
and the other. He was not afraid of Ritualism.
It is too expensive. In some of their parishes
they cannot get supplies for themselves. He
was opposed to the minority "report because it
tended to awaken suspicions in the minds of
the people, who are now unsuspicious.
Dr. Dekoven, of Wisconsin, read from the
journals of 1814, when it was declared by a
message of the House of Bishops, concurred
in by the Deputies, showing that this church
was modelled after the English Church, aud
took the place hero of the former there.
After protracted debate, the Rev. Mr. String?
fellow, Jr., of Indiana, offered an amendaient
to the minority report which he would like to
go as a substitute for both, reciting that as it
is utterly impossible to insure uniformity in
rites, ceremonies or worship, it is therefore
inexpedient to take any acHon in the premises.
A motion to lay on the table was thou ? _.le,
together with another to adjourn, which was
jarried, and cut off debate,
Wednesday, the nineteenth div of the Con?
tention, was mainly occupied with a discussion
rf the motiou of the R;v. Mr. Dasbiell. of
UarylanJ, to postpone indefinitely 0,0th the
najority and minority reports ou Ritualism,
tfter a long debate tho motion to postpone
vas withdrawn, and a substitute for both re?
ports offered by Rev. Dr. Van Dusen, of West
ail New York, and laid over. This substitute
vas in|favor of giving the Bishop of each dio
:ese power to decide in relation to the rubri
?1 regulations of worship.

The Mayor presented the following report of
ae City Attorney, which was received as infur?
iation :
?olhe Mayor and Aide, men:
GENTLEMEN:-lt has boen referred to me to
iquire and report upon tho right of the City
ouncil to sell the Harsh lands lying west of
ivnch-street, near Broad-strcot.
This has always been a question of -loubt,
?d although:'proceedings m equity wore once
wtituted for the purD030 of solving the quts
on, the suit was adjusted by a consent de
re e, and the question still remains uusottlcd.
By act of the Colonial Legislature on tue
2th April, 17G8, it was eua ctud that ' all the
[arsh laud lying on each side of said canal
ereby directed to be made, situate on tbe
ist Bide of A9hley Rivor, (from the upper end
fBroart-street, into Ashley River,) within tho
mits of Charleston, shall forever hereafter be
nerved and kept for tho use of a Common for
liarles ton ; and any grant that may bo made
r obtained for tho same, or any part thotoof,
1 hereby declared to be absolutely null and
aid."
By this act, the marsh -land in question was
reheated to tbe purposes of a Common for?
ren
In 1783 the then City of Charleston was in
irporated, and in the charter certain lands
oro vested in the City Council ot Charleston,
id with others "tho marsh lands appropria
id by law for a Common," 'Tor tho use and ad
intages of the said city, to be leased, sold,
sproyed on, or otherwise disposed of, as to
ie said City Council shall appear most condu
ve to tho welfare and advantages of the said
ty and tho inhabitants thereof."
There can be no dcTtbt that the Legislatur?,
r the act of 17?3. did ve-t tho title to those
Z'Ll in the City Council, with power to '
ill, lease or otherwise dispose of thom; but 1
ie real question is whether, alter the Logis
ture bad devoted tho land to the uses of a
jmmon for the benefit o? all the inhabitants,
subsequent Legislature could devote it to
her and different uses. Did tho oct of 1783
ipersede the act of 17G8? Could tho act of :83
?prive the people of the right in a Common
hich they had acquired by the act of '68?
Tho question in an interesting one, but not
ee from doubt. I incline to the opinion that
10 grant to tho City Council in 1783 was valid
id effectual. It should bo borne in mind
lat the Revolution had intervened between
ie Declaration of our National Independence
id the adoption of the Federal Constitution
11787. This State was a sovereign, all power
as vested in the people, and the Legislature
as the chosen agent and representative! of the
eople. The power of such Legislature was un
mited, and whatever one Legislature could
aaec another could repeal. lu all matters of
ublio concern their authority was supreme.
i ibis theory be sound, the Legislature ot 1783
as perfectly competent to dispose of any and
11 property of a public character, such as tho
.nels in question, in such manner as "they
tight deem that the public welfare requires.
By the decree of Chancellor Wardlaw in
?ly, 1853, so much of the said marsh land as
es* between Rutledge-street on tho east, Beau
iin-street and lands cf estate of Strohccker
a the north, Lynch-etrcet on thc west, and
road-street on the south, was dedicated and
;t apart as a Common forever.
This was done by the consent of Council, as
ill appear by their answer, and by their reso
ition of 15th July, 1853. The question as
) the power of Council over the remainder
r the marsh land was not adjudicated, lt 13
:ill open.
I havo eriven my best judement upon this
latter, lt is a questi m or prudence for Coun
il whether* they should make title, and for a
urchaser whether ho should take title, before
ie do:;bt is judicially settled.
Respectfully,
W. D. PORTER.

raa rr t'erred to thc Committee on Public Build

At this ftagc of proceedings, Alderman Mc

wai referred to Committee 0:1 Belief:
CHARLESTON, S. C., Ostober 19,1803.
To his Honor the Mayor and Aldermen of the
City cf ChartestO'i. & Ci
GENTLEMEN-1 would most reaped fully sub?
mit the following petition to your honorable
body, and solicit at your hands ? consideration
of tho same :
At a regular rncctin? of tho City Council
held March, 1807, I made an application to
them to bo allowed tho privilege ol' erecting a
wooden building upon a vacant lot in Tratid,
near Limehouse-street, to which permission
was granted by the said Council. And in pur?
suance of said grant [ at once commenced the
erection of tho building on the 4th day of May
ensuing. After prosecuting the work nearly
to completion, and during thc month of Junti,
a suit WAS institu ed against reo, at the in?
stance of ono-Johnson, charging me as a
nuisance, and for violating an act of tho State,
in erecting said building. At the last term of
the Court of Common Pleas and General Ses?
sions, Judge Glover presiding, the - ase was
called finally and tried-the result of which I
was lound guilty and sentenced to pay costa ot'
court and tho building to be removed by tho
1st of November next, and if not removed, to
nay a fine of one hundred dollars. I appealed
from said decision to the General Assembly of
the State, and after maturo consideration of
the samo. I was relieved from thc decision ol'
the court by thc General Assembly, by au act
passed for said purpose.
My object in addressing your honorable body
is to bring to your notice thc loss that I havo
sustained by ?n act of the City Council in mis?
leading and causing me to violate a law of
which twas iguorant of. and of which I certain?
ly would not have done of my own volition. In
defending and maintaining ray causo in said
suit, together with what I have lost in tho non
completed condition of my building in rentals,
and from other causes connected, has made tho
investment one of loss ratiicr than profit, and
in ?olicitiner your consideration of my case Ido
eo with tho h'ope that you, in your good judg?
ment, Will assist mc; for I consider that in de?
fending this suit I was defending the City
Council. And in appealing ta your honorablo
body for aid as a remuneration for tho loss I
have sustained in said ca :se, I do SJ with no
desire to resort to litigation; tor I feel ?S3Brod
that after a careiul investigation of the facts
by your honorable body, that wc caa arrive at
a satisfactory conclusion. Gentlemen, earnest?
ly aolic-itiui: your kind consideration of the
above, I remain, with feelings ol' tho highest
respect, vour obedient servant,

This TIE can bc applied instantaneously to any
size bale; it requires no preparation whatever.
Insert the hoop in the
slot, and draw it tight a>
round thc bale.
It adjusts itself to the hale, and is ra simple that
it can be applic 1 by any ODO.

When the lever of the
press is raised the tie will
fasten itself by the out?

The advantage of Baling Cotton with iron is new
Renerally acknowledged, and it i? recommended hy?
the Board of Underwriters, Steamboat and Ship?
owners. It costs k"8, makes a more compact bale,
and gives greater security than rope.
