Salissubt, Eng., July 24, 1881!. 7b the Editor of the Boston Journal : I am h?r? in tlilscld Kngliah town to atIsnd a meeting called by tha church war d??i of this dtnooM. which was held yester day afternoon. It w?i attended by w*?r?l Lord*, i *anib?r of member* of Parliament, will a larger number of clergymen. and the great body of ehureh wardens of thia vicln Ity. and members of the Chureb, of England. A* foreshadowing the futuie, It Is one of the most important mooting? which ha* been -held since Victoria oama to the throne. WOT TUB MBrnXO WAS BKLIV The iir.niedlnte cooeeion whioh brought this great body of stanch men end women together in convention t* a charge recently { given by Dr. Hemllton. Bishop ol Salisbury, -who reside* here under the shadow of the tallest Cathedral spire in England. But beforo noticing the featnrea of the eherg*. ^ a few word* In regard to the *' ritnaliatle " movement now going on in tha Church of Kapland are ueceeeary for a elear underatapdlng af the question. For a long time there hav* been two partiee in tha enurch ?tha low ehureh party?those who were -couleat with a simple ritnal?the wearing of robes by the ministry,and bowing only at the name of Jesus in the service, turning1 toward the altar while repeating the thirtynine articles. The High Church party for a long time has advocated a more imponing ritual, and gradually they have introduced in many churches the use of candles, Incense, embroidered robes, crucifixes, genu flexions, and wbnt is called the intoning of he Scriptures, till in a largo number of churches a stranger would see but little variation from the ritual of the Romish Church. It ia a party powerful by tla numbers, its wealth, position and influence, embracing a large number of the aristocratic families ef the realm. The advocates of high ritualirm claim that a majority of the members of the Church of England are in favor of the introduction of more forms and ceremonies in the service. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the primate of all England, the Bishop of Oxford, and the Bishop of Halishury, and I know not how many more prelatea, ore High Churchmen; also, Mr. Cladstone. It was stated io the mooting yeeterdar, that the High Church party had control of the Ecclesiastical Courts and the management of EccKsinstical affairs generally. in tho parish of St. Albans, a Monkish brotherhood hss been formed, called the "uuiid of 51. Albans, where llio conioeaional has been nUMUhcd, and where Miany of the rights and ceremonies of the Romish Church are imitated. The High Churchmen are active and energetic. You may purchase their 1 recta ud pamphlet* at alt the railway stations and book stalls, and they commend their doctrines to the lower clnssps by advocating the abolition of the pew system, and making church sittings free to all. As your readers aro doubtless aware, many second eons in gentlemen's families enter the church as clergymen?not on account of moral fitness, but bocau'c they must have standing in society, and it is only a question of choice whether tlioy purchase a commission in the army or in the church. This class of ministers are generally ndvncntcs for a grand and imposing ritual. Let me not he understood as saying that oil of the aristocracy aro High Churchmen. On the contrary, some pf the pobility ore strenuously opposed to any departure from the present forms and ceremonies. The Low Churchmen are sometimes called tho " Evnngelicala." Tlioy arc hoat'le to innovations in form or doctrine, and look with alarm at d indignation upon the practices and doctrines latoly brought forward. TOH UI8I101- OK SALISBURY. A clap of thunder from n cloudless sky could not ho more startling than the doctrines enunciated by the Bishop of Salisbury throe weeks since to the clergy of his diocese. There was no call for the charge; it was an extra ecclesiastical opinion, put forth as the Dred Scott decision was?as a feelor. It is not the Bishop's opinion alone, but that of other prelates. It wa* intimated Ofterdny that it was the opinion of the ArehhUhop of Canterbury as well. What those doctrines are will he seen by quoting from the Charge. The Ch<*reh of Kngland, in common with most Protestants, hold thai the words of Christ uttered at the Last Supper?" This Is my body "?are to be taken figuratively, ^ile the Romish Church bold that Christ's hotly islictiially nod literally present. The Bishop of Salisbury says: . "Obi-Lord's words, 'This is mv body.' ought to be understood literally. The effect of your blessing the elements is that there becomes a reel presence of the Lord's body and blood i.i the Sacrament." The Bishop believes, in common with many members of tlio Episcopal church, in an Apostolio priesthood, but not stopping there, he maintains t hat " to the clergy are drU<j<iUil the ministrations of the Priesthood of Jesus Christ." He docs not openly say that a priest has power to forgive ein or al>solve sin, but it is generally understood that he holds to that belief, although he has not seen fit to make a public avowal. No one mi?yudges the Bishop's sincerity, and all speak of him with affection, and if he were the only clergyman of the eslab lished church holding such doctrines, there would have been no such gathering as that of yesterday, but it is understood that be is on'y the mouthpiece of the Ritualistic party, and that "ritualism" means more than a change of-ferms and ceremonies?the acceptance of doetrinee which will ere long sweep the church of England over to Rome. I have not. space to give extracts from the tracts and psinphlets put forth by the ritualistic p'artv, bat it was stated by several of the speakers, and the pamphlets warrant the aaaertion, that the new " Guild of St. Albans" held to nearly all the doctrines of the Roman Catholic, transiibstantiali^m, confession and absolution and the power of the priesthood. ruE MEiTrxo. It was held in a lurge hall, which was packed to It* ntmoal; extra trains were run no the railroads and their usually quiet old town was filled by stanch men and women of iho middle class, whose souls are stirred within them at the ntterance of sueh doctrines as those put forth (>y the bishop.? Oenaral Buckley of the army presided?a stout, bluff Englishman. Lord Sydney Os borne, wbo although a Lord is also a minis tcr of the church of England, gave the first address. He is tall, spare, has a thin face and gray beord. He spoke with much emotion. He could not eoneeivc of a meet Ing held under more trying circumstances. )Ie would not ndnce matters ; they had met In direct opposition to the chief officer of their church, in the town in which he dwelt, and in which he was justly loved and respected. He never had belonged to a religious party, but the time had come when it wis* neccenry to look danger boldly fn the face, for .*.11 that tliev held dear was threatened?the fsith of their fathers and their own faith. He would give the Bishop of Salisbury credit for being sincere, and he whhed lie could my the same of nil the lib hops on the bench. Ilo then took up tin dm triiiid I oiut.-* ot the bi.lu p's charge, TUB 8 < hewed how Mm prelate had departed from th? dMtrhin of (hi chortk aid concluded with gloomy farfcbodtnge for the future wel fere of the ehitroh. He offered a resolution to the effect that the meeting viewed with alarm end indignation the Innovntionv which had been introduced into manj of the pariah churches. Mr. Long, member of Parliament, atated (hat In a larva number of the pariah ehurohes eandlea and Inaenae had been inlrodueed. The tirao hee come, he aatd, when many of them mnat either be subjected to just auch displays aa may he aeen in the Romish churches, or attend clinrCh at great inconvenience in other parishes, or j'in the die- ' enters. In the town of Calne, the parishioners had gone to work to build another j church, as they could not stand the popish mummeries forced upon thorn by the officiating clergymen. In some plaoes secret confessionals had been established, and ?o men an<l girl# were eneourege4 io repair to eon fesaion without letting husbands and parents know of what was going on. lie nuoted from tlio London Times, which aaid that " Rit**ili*tn t* the shadow of a great calamity," but it is more than that, it is the downfall of the nation. He scouted the idea thai the Ritnaliats were lu tho majority ; they would hud that the nation which sent Charles I, to the block and drove James II, from the throne was not going to scecpt Rome with all her abominations. Rev. Mr. Graves made a thrilling address, saying that " England was on the evo of a revolution." Let the ritualists have their way and thore was an ond to the Chinch ; society would undergo a change such as England never had experienced ; the power of England would be like tknt. of Italy or Spain among the nations. Tbere were many mout eyes in the house; strong men wept as he narrated the ebonies that had already taken place, and added that if things were allowed to go on as lliey were going there would soon lie the confessional in every parish. Ue did uot believe in leaving the ehurch and joining the nonconformists, but he would slay in the cliuich and drive the Ritualists to Rome. I have not spaee to notice in detail the many epenkere. Some speakers doclared that rather than submit to such degradoiion and mummeries as were practiced, they should at once join the diB'eoters. Others advocated remaining and fighting it out to the end in the Courts and in Parliament.? Resolutions were adopted, and petitions signed for presentnlioii to tha House of Lords. It is claimed by tho ritualists that a majority of the peers are favorably dis posed to a change in the ritnnl. One speaker was for fighting it out in the Courts. "IJut what if the Courts sre agaiuut lis?-* was tlie question. " Then I shall step out of the ChuicfT of England," was tho emphatic statement roundly applauded. One gentleman said that a great deal of censure had been east upon the clergymen who had introduced caudle* and incense into the ritual, while the Bishop of Salisbury bad been ticated with great leniency by ths speakers. IVbat wou'd England say if one of the Admirals of the Royal Navy should mule-lake to go over to an enemy with nil hu llett, guns, tlores, munitions and men! Yet that was just what the Bishop was doing I Ritualism was Rome in disguis*. It was no time for soft words or smooth speeches. Tlu-se sentiments were lienriily npplnuJed. TliK Vt TL'KK. It i? a dark hour to those who are attached to the simple forms of the English ehurch It was evident from the tone of the meeting that the Ritualistic movement Lns made much great'r progress than lies generally been supposed. It is als:> evident that lurge numbers are leaving the fold of the church and joining the Konnmifoffhists, and tliut others arc joining the Roman Catholie Church. Wo are not warranted in usstiniing thnt the Ritualists, id a l>ody, intend to hooon?o Romanists, though the !/iw Churchmen maintain thnt there is no hailing place between Ritualism uwd l'ejury, and that inasmuuli as the doctrines and practices ?>f the Ritualists conform to the Komnn Church, they will noon acknowledge the Pope a? head ol the church, rather thuu the tjueou of Krigland. The natural sequence to thin is that there will bo a breaking uj> of tlio distiuclivo features of English society, nrlsing from the connection between church and state, mid so tho London Times, foreseeing the end, exclaims that " Hitunlisui is the shadow of a great calamity." And ono of tho speakers of yesterday had reason to say that " England is on tho cvo of a great revolution." After the in"eliug I saw a plain man, in a working suit, a farmer from a rural parish, in conversation with a clergyman. ' What shall I do? Wo have candles and incense nnd nil the new fangled notions in our service," said the farmer. " Tell your clergyman," was tho rely, " that it is a grief to you?an innovation?a practice not warranted by tbc Scriptures tlor by the Church." " Hut ho won't stop for thnt. Do yon think that ho will give any attention to a layman? ho boing a priest?" " Then, if thoro is a good dissenting chapol near and a minister who is not rejoicing in the troubles of o?r church, go there : hot fl" there is no such cbnpcl near get togctlieryour neighbors, read the service yourself, rather than countenance tho mummeries of the Church of R9tne." Whether tho disruption of tho Church ol England has coinincnced?whether thero Is t<) Ik! a breaking up of sorno of the distinctive fcnturcs of English society?whether England in till* day, nf'.er tlireo hundred year* of proteatation against Roma, in about to accept l'opcry, remains to be aeon. Tho question is alroady beforo Parliament. Lord Shaftsbury is an Auti-ritnalist and has introduced n bill in rvdation to " Clerical Vestmen In." A meeting was held ir. London three days ago in support of it, which was numerously attended. Ono of tho spankers boldly accused tho Archbishop of Canturbery of nr?k> ing a Jesuitical speech. In that mooting lov'ernl declared their intention of quitting the church if tho ritualistic practices woro continued. Prom ull this your readers will sco that a question is alrcndy beforo tho English people which bids fair to inako a great rofo in in society. Tho question is deeper than that of Reform ; it takes hold of tho inmost ronvie(lions of men and of their most cherished opiuions. It relates to the prcseut and tho future lifo. Tho questions are the old ones of their fathers?for which they fought and in which they triuinphod. Tho Anti-ritualists hnvo been asleep; they had no conception of tho progress which Rifnwlisni had made, lust now they nro awake and the mooting of yesterday is but tho pcrcursor of others?of an agitation I which will bo felt from Land's End to J..tin O'Oroat's House. Tho result no imo ran sco. T have no speculations ami but one prediction to Fwikc : Whatever clso may haiq-cn, Kuglaud is u</t going over to Home! CAKLETON. ? i r Arou?TA, August 21.

Bobo, decided bvforo Judge liar as, at this Court, which was au actios upoA a do to given , In 18&8, for & nogro ; the note being held by a . New Yorker, under tho-protecliou of the Court, , ? verdict wm given for "tho entire debt The | case wm defended with greet ability, and, according to oar humble opinion, by tbe moil , triumphant argument, by J. P. fe?r>, Eaqo the Solicitor of thia Circuit, who meintainod that contracts not having been executed, and , the law of tbe land making it now criminal to , hold a dave, no Court eoald enforce the contract now remaining executory. Cues ot this kind have not yet reached the Supreme Court of tbo United States, and the case we speak of Wing under two thousand dollars, no appeal can be taken, so the verdict of tbe jury as to it is final. This is to bo regretted, as wo think it most probable that the Supremo Court would dooido the ease against the enforcement, at this time, of contracts for 4 negroes upon the sumo grounds thattbeSuprcme Court of Louisiana lias dceidod. Wo ore constrained to bclievo so, because the analogous cases support that decision, that where tbo law supporting a contract Is repealed, the contract goes with it, more especially when the vory consideration of the contract becomes absolutely criminal as well as void. Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to psy < for the services of a negro up to the time of , emancipation, is woollier question. Natural , justice would seem to require this much \ certainly, we think no more. The power \ of States and Governments to emancipate I slaves, has always been claimed and exer- < ciaed, and win-never that power wss put in 1 force, the Stntc and tlio Unitod "State* as 1 scried llnlr paramount right and title to control the services of slaves. After they have done this, it would seem injustice in those powers, through a court, or any other instrumentality, lo compel any man lo pay for the life time services of a negro, when these same powers, State and Federal, civil nnd military, would terribly punish hiiu if lie dared to elaim those services. We think General Kick Lies, iu suspending all suits for negro debts, lias shown a wise forecast, nnd that Ids proceedings in this rcgnrJ will ho fully vindicated her? after by every department of Government, both <1.1. ...,i c<?.? 1 <1 - - rrucrm., coiirncis i?r (-iiiveo. unperformed, must perish with slavery itself. This we veil tu*c to ?ss?rt, notwithstanding tlie opinions of a number of good lawyers, mid respectable jurists to the contrary. Wo know we litre many of the same eort to sustain our opinion. Eallrcnd Connection with Aobovillo. North Caro'.iuA. Our information assures us thai the Itni!roiul from East Tennessee will reach Ash. villo. Now is the time for every friend of his Slate, and of Charleston, and every Western North Carolinian, and Keel Ten nessccan, Kentuckian and Cincinnati citi r.en, to secure a connection, the lest and easiest, between Charleston and the great North-West. From Aslieville to Gro*nville is only sixty miles ; there is a good gap in the inonctains, and splendid ground to build on thie side, and the other side.? Oreenvillc is the route for North Carolina and the West, as well as for Charleston ? It will be tho nearest by constructing the short link between Ninety-Six and Aiken, and over ground that never overflows, wrilh no possible chance for freshets to interfere, as l>y the rivers leading to an 1 from Golinn bid. Our over-mountain and western friends, by the Greenville route, will have the advantage of tho nearest?certainly the best access to Charleston, and also as to travel tho heel routs tn (Via ft.uil 1.-W Georgia, and to Savannah and Augusta.-? At the game time, they would he connected with Columbia by the present Ilui'road, and with that connection, they would have a connection with the whole central part of South Carolina. Columbia would receive for distribution, to the Districts around and beyond her, and for her own market*, full supples of precisions, direct from the fertile, provision-producing regions over the mountains, instead of from Now York and ltaltimore, and great trade between our State and the West would be the coose rpience, to the mutual good of all.

The Ritualists aro carrying their imitation of Roman Catholics eren to Iho adoption of tho confessional, and sonre are c*cn going over to Romauism. The Dissonicrs in England, Methodists, Presbyterians and Baptists, aro, of course, with tho best portions of the Episcopal Church, opposed to tbis Ritualism and its tendencies. It is to bo hoped that it will produce a separation in England of tho Churoh and Slate which always, in all countries, in al] nges, hns been and must bo corrupting and degrading to tho church of lliin whose kingdom is not of this world. Thcro is hopefulness to tho world out of the very excos* of Ritualistic folly in lite High Churcb of England, if that groat country shall set the example of separation of Church and State, (as it ought to have done long ago,) and full seligiour toleration would speedily heroino the rnlo among civilised nations instead of tho oxc?|Hion.
