• constitutionalist. AUGUSTA. <3-A. FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 6, 1868 NOW FOB THE OITT. We have carried the State by a very large majority; we have reduced the Radical majority of this county by a thousand votes. This result is what the Democracy of Georgia proposed to achieve, and right nobly have they fulfilled their duty. Had other States done half as well, the anti- Radical ticket would have been defeated. As it is, let them settle their own concerns aud quarrels in their own way; we will attend to our home affairs and make them prosperous. The rubbish of a general elec tion being laid aside, we must now address ourselves to the salvation of our immediate townships. Less than a month from this day, the citizens of Augusta will be called upon to elect municipal officers. This elec tion involves responsibilities directly greater to us than a Presidential contest. The wel fare of our city, its good name, its economi cal administration, the just relations of capital, property and labor—all these are at stake and all dependent, for good or evil, upon the exertions of those who have most to gain or lose by a proper or improper manner of settlement. It is true that the white residents have great difficulties to surmount. A large and mainly irresponsi ble negro element has been forced into po litical antagonism with them. Strange to say, this element, though almost entirely dependent upon the Democratic white men of the city, is politically sullen and hostile to those who feed, support and employ it.— This is, indeed, a marvellous state of things and should be remedied at once. It is a deli cate matter to suggest a method of procedure in such a case, and we imagine that more can be done by the individual experiments of each citizen than by the appeals of the newspapers. Let every man who employs negroes sec to it that his employees are kindly informed of the precise issues of the municipal election. If these are under stood, and yet ungratefully or maliciously used against the employers, the New Eng land method of teaching propriety may or may not be the best course, under the cir cumstances. This we leave entirely to the party interested, wh > indubitably has the right to support an enemy in his household, thriftless Mayors and Councilmen in pow er, and a political machine to be used against himself, if he so chooses. We be lieve that many of the freedmen, now that Grant has been elected, are measurably in clined to abandon their organized opposi tion to everything anti-Radical.. If so, well and good. If not, the tax-payers of the city who nourish aud assist them should cast about for a better return for their in vestments. Os late, the registration of whites has considerably increased. Many persons have, probably, refrained from registering on ac count of non-payment of taxes. Let such consider that their taxes must be paid, sooner or later. If procrastinated, they will be more difficult of payment. This be ing the case, let the delinquents, if possible, raise a sufficient sum to liquidate their in debtedness and enfranchise themselves, so as to cast their ballots fora municipal ad ministration, which will make their bur dens more tolerable in the future. Let the whites Os the City, therefore, spare no ef fort to redeem the city. As'to the blacks, we give them the advice we have always given, to abstain from an ignorant use of suffrage. The ballot may seem the negro’s friend now; he will learn ere long that it is his greatest enemy. Having saved the State, let us save the city. The young men who worked so vig orously and enthusiastically in the late election have another duty to perform. We are confident that they will not be want ing in zeal in December. ■■. «**•— [From the New York Times, Ist. The Episcopal Convention. RESUME OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE TRI ENNIAL CONVENTION —WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AND WHAT HAS BEEN LEFT UNDONE. The General Convention of the Protest ant Episcopal Church, whose triennial ses sion has just closed, accomplished very little, and occupied a great deal of time in doing it., as is usual with convocations of this character. Many measures of unusual importance were proposed, but, with very few exceptions, they were either not acted on at all, or the final disposal of them was postponed for three years or more.— Eighteen days were spent, for the most part in discussion, and then the Conven tion adjourned until 1871. Yet, if all that was expected of it was not done, it cannot be said that the assem bling of this bod.y, at this time, was with out its good effects. The General Conven tion is a safety-valve to thechurch. When dissensions arise, as they will arise occa sionally in the best regulated diocese, the extremists are prevented from taking has ty and rash action, by the reflection that all that is wrong may be righted at the General Convention, upon a presentation of the facts by the chosen representatives of the dioceses. And if when the reverend doctors come together, after much consid eration they find it difficult at once to heal recent wounds, they can apply emollients for the preseut, and give the patient some thing to hope for from the next General Convention. In this way oil is poured upon the troubled waters, and time is given for them to subside of their own ac cord. Thus the case of Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr., which caused so much excitement in the dioceses of New York and New Jersey last Spring, was brought before the convention in the form of various propositions to so amend the canon on intrusions, which he had been found guilty of violating, as to give larger liberty to ministers seeking to officiate within the parochial limits of oth er clergymen. To have made such an amendment at this time would have been constructively to confess that the canon, as it stands, is as illiberal in its spirit as Mr. Tyng’s friends have claimed it to be. To refuse to make such an amendment was vir tually to sustain the party of Rev. Drs. Stubbs and Boggs. In either case one par ty or the other would have been dissatisfied. <3O, after several debates, which gave op portunity for the advocates of both views to ventilate them very fully—after the es cape of a great deal of steam that was not useful in the economy of the Church, the whole matter was finally indefinitely post poned by so large a majority that it may be inferred that this disposal of the case was satisfactory to all parties. When the next Triennial Convention those who are for amending the canon, after three years’ deliberation, are still of the same mind, the subject may be considered without heat and troubled water (and con sequently without steam), and the final ac tion, if any be deemed necessary, is likely to be unbiased and judicious. Another good effect of these great gath erings of the Bishops, the representative clergy and laymen, is in the opportunity for communion which it affords them, wnich results in good works outside of the con vention. It awakens a spirit of zeal for the interests of the Church and infuses new life into the labors of the preacher. The great missionary enterprises of the Church are quickened. During the recent convention the Board of Missions has been in session in this city, and large contributions have been made in aid of its labors. But m the convention no great measures have origi nated at this peculiarly seasonable time for extending the field of the Church. There is a strong movement among all thm Christian denominations in behalf of a unification of the Church.. The Pope of Rome to* Issued his manifesto, representative* of sects of the Protestant Churcjiln *“ is f co ““' try find elsewhere have more than lntimaieu a desire to come together ja few yers coa« decide which is to be the Church Os Ameri ca and which the Church, or the two Churches perhaps, of the world. The Pro testant Episcopal Church of the United States is certainly not lead in this movement. Wtiile other denominations are stretching forth their hands toward her, the General Convention stops just long enough in the course of its debates on ritu alism to pass a resolution declaring that the Bishops may appoint ajiempnttee. of their own number to act a® °i communication with the ot the Church, and with the different Other Christian bodies who may desire latums n tion or conference ” on the subject of Church unity. Whether the Bishops acted upon this permission or not does not appear. The subject to which the Convention gave the most attention was what is caiiea Ritualism. It is well known that certain usages have ol late emit into some J* Protestant Eftfscopat Churches of this coun try, which were not known in them in tr e early days. An earnest effort was mad y a minority in the Convention to obta n an authoritative definition of the Ujnite in re gard to the business of lights m the com mnnion service, the burning of , reverence to the holy table or the etemente placed on it, the elevation of the ciements, making the sign of the Cross (except when prescribed in the Rubric) during divine sex vice or the celebration of the Lord s (Supper, and the use of many-colored vestments and strange ornaments of the sacred plac conducive to vain show or superstition, A majority aud a minority report were presented by the Committee on Canons. The former declared it inexpedient to make any restrictions in this regard, and the latter “on the contrary, quite the reverse. Here two horns of another dilemma upon which the Convention was for a long time tossed. It was only relieved at length by leaving the whole subject to the Bishops, whose report, if it concludes that any changes in the Rubric are necessary, Is to be submitted three years hence! Nearly as much time as was devoted to this subject was given to the consideration of a proposal to change the title of the Conventions of the Church and call thpm “Councils” instead. This was debated day after day, some claiming that the word “Convention” should be no longer used, because it was used in ordinary parlance to designate assemblages that were by no means noted for their piety—a consideration that might as well apply to the word “Council” as used in designating the legisla tors who are “common” in such city govern ments as our own—while others held that the mere matter of a change of name was not of much consequence anyhow. Finally, this subject, too, was postponed indefinitely. A proposal to omit the word “Holy” before the words “Catholic Church" in the Nicene Creed, was ftlso a subject of discussion, which ended in a declaration that it was inexpedient. In matters concerning the general tenets of the church, it will be observed, there was a wise conservatism, carried some times, indeed, too far, and especially so in regard to Ritualism. In the details of church government, there was less hesita tion to take decided action. Consent was given to the erection of two new dioceses within the Diocese of New York, to be known as the Dioceses of Northern New York aud of Long Island. Consent was also given to the erection of anew diocese within the limits of that of Western New York, and of another within the limits of the Diocese of Maryland, to consist of what is known as the Eastern Shore of Maryland. An amendment to the canons was adopted which makes in necessary for an applicant for orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church, wlio has previously been a clergyman in another church, to re main on probation a year, instead of six months as‘•previously required. A pro vision for the admission of a foreign deacon to priests’ orders, of a residence of one year in this country, instead of three years as previously required, was also adpptcd. An important canon on the conservation of churches was adopted. It provides that no church shall be consecrated until the Bishop is satisfied that the ground and building are free from incumbrance. It forbids any vestry, or other body author ized to hold church property, to alienate or encumber it, without the consent of the Bishop and the Standing Committee of the diocese in which it is located, and prohibits the removing or razing of any church, or disposing of it for any unhallowed, worldly or common yse, without their consent. With regard to the law of divorce, a Canon was passed which prohibits any minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church from solemnizing matrimony in any case where there is a divorced wife or husband of either party living, except in the case of the innocent'party in a divorce for the cause of adultery', or in that of parties once divorced seeking to be united again. This virtually declares the immorality of marrying again for those who may have obtained divorces on the ground of cruelty, desertion, habitual drunkenness, and for other causes which are held sufficient by the laws of some of theßtates. It is strict ly in accordance with the spirit of the Gospel, and it is difficult to perceive how the ministers of any' Christian Church can consistently unite those who have previous ly been divorced for any other reason than on account of the adultery of the former husband or wife. The action of the convention with regard to the petition of the Oneida Indians, pray ing for protection in their just rights, may at" first sight seem exceptionable. The House of Bishops eudorsed the petition of the Indians to the Secretary of the Interior, by expressing a belief that their frequent removals were perilous for them. Tae House of Clerical and Lay Deputies, on motion of Hou. Hamilton Fish, declined to concur in this action, on the ground that it was against the interest of the Church for the convention officially “ to interfere with questions of policy confided to the State.” There was foresight and sagacity in this view of the case presented by a layman, who is equally conversant with the affairs of Church and State. Whatever interest may be felt by good churchmen in the hardships of the aborigines, they should not forget that the concern of the Church is with their spiritual welfare, and that the Church, as such, is not called upon to ex press opinions upon the policy of the Gov ernment in dealing yvith them, or upon the manner in yvhicli that policy is carried out. Church members—bishops, clergy and laity —as citizens , are deeply concerned in this, but as Church members, simply, they have nothing to do with it. These were the principal subjects of in terest that occupied the time of the conven tion. The ordinary provisions for carrying on the work of the Church, the election and consecration of the bishops, the reading of reports of special committees on various matters of detail, and the other business that has from time to time come before this body, have been regularly noted in these columns. The next triennial convention is to be held in Baltimore, where probably many of the graver questions which have been agitated at the present session will be further discussed and still further post poned. Secret Trusts. —The United States Su preme Court has recently made an im portant decision on the subject of the transfers of lands professing to be an abso lute conveyance, but accompanied with a concealed verbal agreement between the parties securing a benefit to the grantor jit the expense of his creditors. The cofirt says that the law will not permit a debtor in failing circumstances to convey his lands by deed without reservations, and yet occu py it for a limited time for own benefit. Hence, when a debtor, ia pursuance of a private understanding, retains possession, rent free, for one year, of lands sold by him, such conduct creates a secret trust for his | benefit, and renders the conveyance fraudu lent as to creditors, and void> And it made no difference in the legal aspect of the case before the court that the interest reserved was not of great value, and that the debt or did not intend to defraud his creditors. [National Intelligencer. It Is a fact that of' the cases of sudden.death recorded as having been produced by disease of the heart, only about 10 per cent, are so pro duced.
