THE HIGH CHURCH QUESTION. -i Bishop Howe OB th? Liturgical Inno, -rut lo ni at the Church Qt the Holy Communion. Tbe announcement that the rite of confir? mation would be administered by the Bight Reverend Bishop Howe, attracted a very large and attentive congregation at the Church of the Holy Communion yesterday morning. Every pew in the spacious and beautiful edi- ; flee was filled at an early hour, and lt soon became necessary to pince double rdws of chairs through all the aisles. These were also rapidly filled up, and for some of the later comers it was only possible to furnish stand? ing room. It was an unusually large con? gregation even for this church, which has for some weeks past been crowded at every service by congregal ins attracted partly, no -doubt, by the choral re? sponses by a surpliced choir, which have late? ly been Introduced by the energetic rector, Rev. A. Toomer Porter. The cause of the lo creased attendance yesterday was very proba? bly the ezpectailon that Bishop Hewe would take occasion to make some expression of bis opinion in regard to these departures from the established Episcopal usage in this diocese, for lt will be remembered that on Easter Sun? day the rector made a statement in regard to these innovations, In which be eald that they had received the approval o? the late Bishop Davis, and Intimated that they would be touch? ed upon In the discourse ot Bishop Howe after the rite of confirmation yesterday. Tte pre? sence of the Bishop, therefore, was particular? ly significant, and, as will be Been, those of tne congregation who came prepared to hear from bim upon the subject of the rector's In? novations, were not doomed to disappoint? ment.: The service was conducted as usual by the rector, and included the full order of morning prayer and the litany, with the amens and responses chanted by the choir, the male members of which, including the twenty boy singers, were all robed in white surplices. The Bishop also lent bis assistance to the service by reciting the Commandments, the responses thereto--Lord have mercy upon, us and in? cline our hearts to keep this law"-were chant? ed with beautiful effect by the lull choir, and thus, by his participation, gave a quasi en-1 dorsement of the choral service and the sur-1 pliced choir. The rite of confirmation was then administered by the Bishop to a large class of candidates, and a sermon appropriate I to tbe occasion preached by him from the j Gospel o? St John, 1-16. At the conclusion of his discourse the Bishop I said that be could not refrain, upon the occa-1 sion of bis first visitation to the Church o? the j Holy Communion, from expressing his pleas-1 ure In witnessing the beautiful additions and I improvements in the edifice, and from utter-1 lng the hope that the added attractiveness o? the church might be reflected in the greater beauty of holiness in tha hearts of Its members I and worshippers. He wished also to' teslify to his Individual admiration of the choral ac? companiments to the service which bad been introduced by their devoted and pious rector. He could not fail to be Impressed with the I Wau ty of the service, and to draw a co rupari eon between the responses they bad just beard and the tame, listless, lifeless responses that were tod common in the other churches. He had often felt in his own ministrations, when listening tc languid and feeble responses by I hlB congregation, that he would like to call In the rich voice of the organ to as sis t In the ser? vice, and make it, at least, praise God with no I uncertain sound. In this, however, he was j merely expressing his personal taste as an In-1 dividual and a clergyman of the Episcopal I Church, and he.supposed they desired to hear rather his official view? as Bishop of the Die- JJ cese. Speaking om ci al ly, then, he said j ' that be wished it distinctly to be under? stood that he was not one of those who looked upon every Innovation, and espe dally every change in ecclesiastical mat? ters, as a calamity, but he also said that he would prefer belore the choral service became Incorporated into the regular worship In any portion o? the diocese that they should be sure that it was authorized by the canons ol the American church. He was not sure that I lt followed because these innovations had been adopted in the English church that they were sanctioned or contemplated by the Amer lean prayer book. He boped for an author! tati ve expression upon this subject from the nest General Conference, and for the present he proposed to take no action in the matter until be had called upon the standing commit tee of the diocese for consultation and advice. I ^The rector, Mr. Porter, then advanced to the Bishop and begged to give him a renewed as-1 sunned of the love and devotion of the Church of the Holy Communion to him and I his episcopacy, and the assurance that as soon as he should express his opinion upon this I subject that opinion would be their law and ] would receive exact, implicit and cheerful obedience. The sacrament of communion was then par taken of, and, after a benediction by the Bish op, the congregation was dismissed. THE SAVANNAH RIFLE CLUB held a meeting In that city, last Saturday evening, to com? plete arrangements for their visit to this city to participate In the Sch?tzenfest. At the same meeting a new uniform for the club was adopted. The style ls a gray jacker, or hali sack coat, with cuffs and collar faced with green; the leit breast being ornamented with j rifle and horn in gold braid. The cloth is of the finest quality. Black pants and Alpine hat, with green feather and small cockade. The uniform is very neat and attractive. The club is In a very flourishing condition, and numbers nearly one hundred and fifty mem? bers, but It is probable that not more than twenty-five will participate in.the excursion to this city. BOOTH AT THE ACADEMY. -Thia evening Mr. and Mrs. Junina Brutus Booth, with a care rtily selected company under the lead of Mr. L. R. She well, begin a brief season ol Shakes? pearian representations at the Academy of Music. The Bale of reserved seats was begun on Saturday morning, and from the success attending the Bale a large house may be ex-1 pected for this evening's entertainment. The play for the opening night ls Hamlet, with Mr. Booth in the title role, and his talented wire I In tbe character ol Ophelia. Mr. Booth comes to us with ali the prestige of an honored name, and with the reputation of being a careful and finished Shakespearian student, and he will doubtless receive a flattering wel? come. CLUBS AND STABS.-E. Hey ward, colored, arrested for knocking Peter Sommers on the head with a brick and cutting him badly, on East Bay, near Elliott street, was referred to a trial justice for prosecution. A denizen of the Family Circle, who showed too much alcoholic enthusiasm at the Acade? my on Friday night, \va9 arrested and fined two dollars. Lizzie Jones, lodged for raising a disturb? ance and using obscene language at the cor? ner ol Church and Chalmers streets, was sen? tenced to pay a fine of one dollar or spend ten days in the House o? Correction. Jacob Royal, reported for dropping garbage lrom his cart along the street, was fined two 'dollars, which he paid. TBE UNITED STATES COURT. Important Revenue Trials and Heavy Sentences- The Ku-Klui Trials to Bf g i n To-Morrow. In the United StateB Circuit Court on Satur? day, held by Judge Bryan, a considerable amount of Important criminal business was disposed of. James H. Morgan pleaded guilty to a charge of having tobacco in bis pos3eBBion with a de? sign of evading the payment of the special tax, and was fined one hundred and fifty dollars. Anthony G. Bentley was put upon trial upon the charge of carrying on the business o? dis? tiller without paying the special tar, and was defended by R. W. Seymour. The jury lound him guilty, but recommended him to the mercy o? the court, and he was sentenced to six months1 Imprisonment and lo pay a fine of one thousand dollars. James Slnclar was tried for a similar of? fence, convicted and sentenced to one year's imprisonment and two thousand dollars fine. Carlos F. Scales pleaded guilty of the same offence, and wassentented to six months' im? prisonment and afine of one thousand dollars. J. Rice Rogers, Joseph Scott and Rilas Mitchell, prisoners from Union County, charged with violations of the enforcement j acr, were released on their own recognizances I to appear at the November term of tho court.

Judge Bond has not yet arrived In town and ls not expected until this evening, so that lt ls not probable that the "Ku-Klux cases'' will come up for trial before to morrow or Wed-1 nesday.

St. Michael's clock stopped yesterday at a ; little after ten A. M. j The Governor has appointed A. C. Huggins f a nota*y public for Charleston County. A bag containing a lot of clothing was found yesterday morning at the corner of Vander- t horst and Rutledge streets, and taken to the ? upper Guardhouse. It seems to belong to ( some laboring man. ( The United Slates commissioner bad another ? storekeeper before bim on Saturday on the old charge of selling cigar boxes without first ob? literating the revenue stamp. The case - was dismissed. AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.-Friday morning a small colored boy named Jackey, who had lately been initiated in the mysteries oi the , Detective office for some trivial Hielt, asked his comrade, Harry Grey, il he would like to make some money, and conducted his eager dupe within the doors of the Detective office. , When safely housed Jackey Informed the de? tectives that he had seen Harry steal a can of lard and other things from the store of N. M. Porter, and asked to have him arrested. Har? ry denied everything, but an Investigation by the detectives proved the truth of Jackey's i charge, and Harry was forthwith locked up. ] He was brought before the Mayor Saturday ' morning and Bent to the House of Correction I for thirty days under the vagrant law. Both boys were very Juvenile, and the informer seemed to have only one object la- view-that of seeing another boy in the same fix as bim- i self, and watching to see how he lelt under the circumstances. THE YOUNO AMERICA BALL.-One of the 1 most pleasant features of the ball of the j Young America Steam Fire Engine Company ; last Friday night, which the lateness of the hour at which it occurred prevented from ap? pearing In THE NEWS of Saturday, was award- I lng ot three prizes by the managlog commit? tee. This took place just after the Intermission 1 in the dancing devoted to refreshments, and was as follows: First prize-a beautiful gold necklace and croes, for the most graceful waltzing-was awarded to Miss A. Lynch, and presented in fitting terms by Captain James Armstrong, Jr. Second prize-a silver medal lor the hand? somest gentleman present-was awarded to Mr. J. Rosis, the engineer of the Young Amer? ica Steam Fire Company, and presented by his brother engineer, Mr. C. C. Wightman, of the jStna Seam Fire Company. Third prize-a-cup for the gentleman who was farthest removed from the hand? somest in good looks-also lound an owner among the Young Americas, and was pre? sented to Mr. C. J. Relyea by the president of the company, Mr. A. W. Lewin, in a neat and humorous little speech. The awards created an agreeable diversion, and few found fault with the judgment ot the committee, except the award of the third prize whicli raised some opposition from the ladies. It seems thar. the gentlemen lo whom the last two prizes were awarded are both unmarried. A FAREWELL TO TBE MISSIONARY. Special Service? at the Citadel Square Baptist Church. The services at the Citadel Square Baptist Church last evening were of more than ord! nary religious interest, being a public fare? well to the Bev. N. B. Williams, miaslouary elect of the foreign mission board ot the South? ern Baptist Convention, on his departure for China. The spacious church was filled with a large congregation, among whom were many clergymen. At the conclusion of the regular evening services, the Rev. E. T. Wlnkler, D.D., delivered an address upon "The mission work in apostolic times." The speaker gave an able exposition of the origin of the mission work, as commanded In the teachings ol the Saviour, and illustrated, both as to home and foreign missions, by the workings, teachings and Bat? terings of St. Paul, and closed his address with a power!ul delenoe against the severa 1 objections usually urged against the foreign mission work. The Kev. O. F. Gregory followed in an ad" dress upon the manifestation of the Divine blessing on the modern mission work. The address abounded la valuable information, statistical facts and striking illustrations, and was heard with deep interest An address by the Rev. L. H. Shuck, on the obligation of in? dividual Christians to give both prayer and alms to the cause ol missions, came next, showing by numerous arguments how binding was this obligation upon us, and closing with stroDg appeals in behalf of those who were laboring in the cause of Christianity in heathen lands. A hymn was then sung, atter which the missionary came forward and dtlivered his feeling farewell to the congrega? tion, invoking, with solemn earnestness, their prayers in his behalf. Els brief and touching words awoke the deep sympathy of his hear? ers, and called forth an au.ible response. After a ghort prayer by Dr. Winkler, Mr. Wil? liams then came forward to the bead of the c?ntre aisle, where the clergy and elders of | the church extended him the parting hand, accompanying the act with congratulations and words of encouragement. Many breathed audible prayers for his safety and suc? cess, and invoked the blessings of God1 upon him. The scene was most im? pressive. As this beauillui ceremony was finished, the magnificent organ bnrat forth in the air of the missionary hymn, "From Green? land's Icy Mountains," and the whole con? gregation Joined in the triumphant strain. During the singing a collection was taken up In aid of the erection of two church buildings, one In the City of Rome, and the other in the City of Tung Chan, China. At the end of the hymn the congregation were dismissed with i benediction from the missionary. The Rev. N. B. Williams is from Alabama. He will start in the course of the week, ac? companied by Mrs. W. and her sister, ladies well known in this city, for their distant field if Christian labor. _ EASTER ELECTIONS. ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH.
