I face you as fellow citizens of the great

siderable unloading, under which the whole

IN THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL
[ CHURCH.
. Admission of Rev. Mr. Huntington, of New
> York, to a Religions Brotherhood in
i Which He Takes a Vow of Celibacy,
i Purity and Obedience Spicy
Correspondence Between
Bishops.
New York, Jan. 17.—The ceremony of
’ admission of Mr. Huntington, by Assistant
1 Bishop Potter, to the Order of the Holy
■ Cross, which made a stir among the Epis
‘ copal Clergy and Laity several weeks ago,
' acquires fresh interest from the publica
tion of correspondence on the subject be
tween Bishop Albert Lee, of Wilmington,
Delaware, and Dr. Potter.
Bishop L'-e writes with the utmost re
spect and affection, but with plainness and
candor, of the astonishment and distress oc
casioned by Bishop Potter’s unexampled
act, “in requiring of him (Mr. Hunting-
■ . ton) well known Romish monastic vows.”
‘ In regard to the ceremony and its bad in
i finer ce on the Church at large, Bishop Lee
writes: “In that service not only the whole
monastic system is sanctioned by yon in
your official character but attributed to di
vine inspiration, the solemn language of our
ordinal being adopted. This system is no
untried experiment. It has been on trial
hundreds of years, and with whatever of sin
, cerity and zeal started under in different
i forms the fruits hare been evil and
1 pernicious. It was utterly repudiated
■ by the Church of England at the
reformation, and has been since rejected
: with loathing by several Roman Catholic
■ i countries. Sacerdotal celibacy has a history j
' of shame, suffering and sin traced in indeli
ble characters. The corrup morals of the ;
■ I priesthood where Romanism is in the is
ceniancy is a notorious fact, and a frightful
' I comment on the attempt to override God’s |
;I laws, and to set up a purer standard than
I the Holy Scripture. No attempt, however
specious, to introduce the system in our ■
' church can fail to awaken earnest and in
! dignant condemnation.”
I The letter goes on to entreat R ishop Pot
; ter not to repeat the act, and wishing that it
might be undone.
In his reply Bishop Potter regrets that he
should have occasioned his friend alarm
and distress. The ceremony did not com
’ mend itself wholly to his taste or judgment,
■ but facts did not warrant the inference, that
; implied his “sanction of the whole monas
tic system.” The young man had taken the
vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience to
the rules of society which he united him-
' self, being in substance the same vow taken
by every woman who joins the sisterhood.
As the sisterhood had the sanction of the
| Cburch, he did not see why brotherhoods
might not exist for the same purposes.
’ Then Bishop Potter continues :
j “But what is the situation in the case of 1
the two young men who nave been admitted
i to brolherhood, to which your letter refers ? !
| Here are, first, one young man and then :
another, who feel profoundly moved by the ;
condition of godless thousands and tens oi
thousands who crowd our tenement houses
in New York. Do you know, dear and hon
ored presiding bishop, what a tenement :
house in New York is ?
“Do you know the profound and wide
spread apathy of the Christian community,
concerning these schools of poverty, misery
and almost inevitable vice? Do you know
that our own church’s mission work has,
thus far, but touched the fringe of this I
awful mass of sorrow and sin ? All
this these young men come to see and
know by personal observation and actual
contact, and then they said, and said, as I
believe, rightly, “If we are to reach these
i people we must, first of all, live among
them. It will not answer to have home
. and interest elsewhere, and then to walk
j over to the Mission Chapel and go about
among the tenement house population three
or four times a week If we are to get close
to their hearts, we must get close to their
lives” Bishop Potter then enters into the
question of the effect of his action upon the j
church, and his right to administer the ;
■ vows, and then says that if the Episcopate
decide that he did wrong, he will release
Huntington from his obligation so far as he
(the Bishop) is concerned, without, however, ;
. surrendering “my own j idgment as to the
expediency and propriety of my a tion until
i convinced by arguments more sufficient and
' conclusive than have vet been addressed to |
‘me.”

COLLISION AT SEA.
Sixteen Fers ns Drowned.
Holyhead, Jan 17.—The ship Santa
Clara, plying between New York and Liv
erpool, arrived at this port last evening,
having on board i-o passengers and twelve
of the crew of the overdue steam packet
Admiral Moorsome. The Captain of the
Santa Clara reports that his vessel left Liv
erpool Thursday last for New York. The
weather was thick. When off Holyhead, the
lookout discovered the outline of a vessel. The
alarm was given, but before anything could
be done, both vessels came together with a
'rash. The prow of the Santa Clara tore
through the bow and side of the Admiral
Moorsome, nea-ly cutting her in two. The
vessel sank almost immediately. The Santa
Clara lowered her boats and picked up
twelve of the crew of the Moorsome and
two passengers. The remainder of the
crew, twelve in all, and four passengers,
were drowned. The Santa Clara is but
I slightly irjured, and will resume her trip to
New York.

Special Correspondence Daily Times.
Macon, Jan. 16. —The reception of the
news that Farrow was out of the race for the
District Judgeship created much consterna
tion here. He was regarded as the man,
I and his appointment was the question only
lof a few hours. Colonel R. D. Locke tele
f graphed him, inquiring if it was a fact that
!he was out of the race. He replied that he
■ was, and that he was oppos’ng Speer. Col-
I lector Johnson also wired that Farrow was
I out of the race, and that he had not decided
■ I who he would support.
■ j District Attorney Darnell sent a dispatch
. I to the President, making application for the
| Judgeship. He is indorsed by the Chair
' men of the various executive committees.
j To day Colonel Locke received a tele
gram from the President, saying that he
’ would give the application careful attention.

THE GRANT BILL
To Meet With Opposition in its Present
Shape.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The Grant re
tirement bill was generally discussed by
members of the House to-day, and it was
developed that the Edmunds bill would
have strong opposition because of the fact
that it names no one, but gives the Presi
dent the power to appoint any one. The
truth is, the Democratic leaders, many of
j them, are not disposed to let the President j
down so easily as the Edmunds bill does
from his position on the Fitz John Porter
I bill. They are determined that if a bill is I
ito be passed at all it shall be one with I
Grant’s name in it. Then the President l
will eilher be compelled to veto the bill, to
be consistent with the Porter veto, or will
have to back squarely down from his posi- J
lion on that measure. If he adopt the latter !
I alternative a Grant retirement bill will be :
i introduced in and passed by the Forty-ninth I
I Congress, along with a bill restoring Fitz
John Porter to rank and pjy, and both will
■ get Mr. Cle> eland’s signature. Some of the
i leading Democrats will therefore urge that
the first retirem nt bill in which Grant is
named shall be passed on the first suspen
sion of the rules day, which is the first
Monday in February, and thus put Presi
dent Arthur to the tes'. Republicans say
that if this be done the President will
allow the bill to become a law without his
signature.
SCHUYLER COLFAX’S END.
Farther Particulars of His Sudden Death.
I A special dispatch from Mankato, Minn., j
says: Ex-Vice President Schuyler Colfax
j dropped dead in the gentlemen’s waiting
room of the Omaha Railroad Station here at
10:35 o’clock this morning. He had just
arrived in town by the Milwaukee road.
j The Omaha station is three-quarters of a
mile from the Milwaukee station, and Mr.
I Colfax walked from one to the other, with a
l bitter wind in his face and the thermometer
‘3O deg. below zero. On reaching the sta
tion he asked the baggage man for the gen
tlemen’s room. The “Thank you” he gave
for the information were the last words he
said in life. He walked to the waiting
room seeming, as bystanders say, much out
of breath, and after looking
out of the window for a few min
utes he sat down and crossed one leg
over the other. A gentleman sitting oppo
i site noticed that he looked pale, but
thought nothing of it till Mr. Colfax’s leg
suddenly dropped, his heel striking on the
floor. At the same instant he fell forward |
and appeared to make an effort to speak, |
but only a groan came. The room was warm ,
’ and close at the time. He was laid on a
bench, and the windows and doors were in- I
j stantly thrown open to give him air; but it
i was too late, for he had already ceased to :
: breath”. Drs. Warden and Jacoby were |
sent for, and after an examination they ;
decided that death was caused by apo-
; plexy. induced by the warmth of the heated
room after the walk in the intensely cold I
air. No one in Mankato knew l Mr. Colfax I
or what his business hare was, so his body j
was taken in charge by the Odd Fel- I
lows organization, of which he was a mem- .
ber, and was carried to the residence of Dr. '
Harrington, where it was dressed and kept i
for icslructions. A telegram was sent I
to the Messrs. S'udebaker, of South Bend, '
Ind. At 5 o’clock this answer was received:
‘ Piace the remains of the Hon. Schuyler
Colfax in temporary casket and bring to
South Ben ’ notifying us when they will
reach Chicago.” In accordance with this
dispatch two members of the order of Odd
Fellows started with the body for South
Bend by the 11 o’clock train on the Chicago
and Northwestern Road. It was at firs sup- .
posed Mr. Colfax was on a lecturing tour,
but there has been nothing found to support
the theory. Probably he was traveling on
business. A letter was found in his pocket
showing that he was in South Bend yester
day.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Times.
Atlanta, Jan. 17.—A woman of bad
: character, who has passed here for a year
' under the assumed name of Lizzie McCor
mick, died this morning from the effects of
' morphine taken last night with suicidal
intent. In the same house with her was
i another woman who very closely resembled
s her, and when it became known that the
woman would die, this woman fell across
the form of Lizzie McCormick and called
’ her “Sister.” It then developed that the
! women were sisters, and parties who knew
• them say they came of one of the leading
‘ families of Richmond, Virginia.
The roller skate in Atlanta is as danger
as the rusty pistol. Last night at 11 o’clock
Miss Maggie ;Bullivan, a lively young lady
aged 16, died from a concussion of the
brain, the result of a fall received while
; learning to skate. Several years ago Oscar
Collier, a young man, while skating here,
; became over heated and took meningetis
and died, and soon after that a young lady
named Solomon received a fall that pro
duced her death in a few days. Miss Sulli
■ van is the second young lady of Atlanta
who has died a violent death this week.
Miss Lizzie Thomas, of Atlanta, who was
| buried yesterday, died a few days ago in
i Orange Court House, Va., from a terrible
burning.
S. A. Darnell has come into the ring as a
candidate for the Southern District Judge-
I ship. Cunningham says it is between him
self and Speer, and Speer seems to think it
is between himself and Chester A. Arthur.
I The contest is as hot as fury. Speer is hang
ing on like grim death and it is believed
! here that he will be appointed.
The Governor to-day appointed Hon.
Evan P. Howell, President of the Constitu
i ion Company, to fill the unexpired term of
Major B. E. Crane, Capitol Commissioner, I
deceased. Captain Howell is in Macon to
night, but telegraphs that he will accept.
He was not an applicant for the place.
Bell & Pitts’ gentlemen’s tailoring estab
lishment was put in the hands of a receiver
[ to-day on application of Mr. Pitts, of that
firm. The partners disagreed, and the court

the Arctic Region.
Washington, Jan. 17. —The last will and
testament of George M. Rice, a member of

tion, was recorded to-day. It is addressed
to Lieutenant Kislingbury, who also died.
The will is dated February 1, 1884, and
Lieutenant Kislingbury and Sergeant
Brainard are named as executors. The
notes cover several pages of brown paper,
one of which reads as follows:
Camp Clay Ellesmere Land, )
February 1,1884. J
My Dear Friend Kislingbury: In the
event of this journey resulting fatally
for me, I desire that yourself and Brainard
act as my executors in conjunction with W.
P. Rice, of Washington, D. C., who, from
his acquaintance with my relatives and par
ties herein named, will be able to assist you
much in discharging any melancholy
posthumous duties for me.
After a number of minute directions
about the disposition of his personal effecte,
he concludes, saying:
Hoping that we may joke over this in the
sunshine on Littleton Island,
I remain your much obliged friend,
George M. Rice.
The other notes include these by Kisling- j
j bury:
Upon my friend Rice returning from the I
I attempt to cross to the Greenland coast I
j asked him if he wished me to return this j
memorandum book. He replied:
j “No; keep it until I ask you for it. I
i have another trip in my mind.”
Fred S. Kislingbury.
I Again, a week before he started on his
! trip to Eskimo Point, which resulted in his
i death, he asked me to keep this, and to !
. bear in mind all instructions and wishes he
; and I mutually exchanged.
