The episcopalian Convention.
The opening services of th- Protestant
Episcopal Convention were held yester
day morning in Christ Cbnrch, Phila
delphia. and were attended by a large
number of people and a still larger
number were nnable to gain admission
the chureh. Cards of admission
were distributer! as fairly as possible
among the city churches, but the olergy
were not able to obtain more than one
two. i he door of the church waa
reserved for the delegates amt the city
clergy. Toe galleries were thrown open
th® public. The church wan hand
somely decorated for the occasion.
The ohurch began to till with a con
gregation that contained some of the
best known men of the country. The
whole congregation rose aa the blabope,
between fifty and sixty, marched up
the middle aisle. The venerable Pre
siding Bishop Smith aud the I-ord
Bishop of Rochester, England, walked
together, the other prelates following
them in the order of their seniority.
The music waa finely rendered by a
choirformedespecially for the occesiou.
Among those who conducted the ser
vices were theRev. Dr. H. C. Potter, of
New York ; and the Lord Bishop of
Rochester. Bishop Potter, of New York
was to have been the preacher, hut ow
ing to feebleness he was not even able
be present.
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, took
his place, and took lor his subject "The
Growth of the Church during the Last
Hundred Years." He told of its strug
gles after the Revolution, its efforts to
adapt itself to its changed clrcumstan
and how it has been gradually tak
S sition ot leadership in thecoun
e dwelt largely upon the historic
character of the Episcopal. Church aud
its freedom from dog i.atism in mere
matters of opinion.
These features, he said, have attract
ed large numbers of people into the
ei rch, and he hoped that the same
comprehensive policy would distinguish
it in the future. The sermon was listen
ed to with much attention
ance of the moderate Broad Church
party, which has so recently gained an
advantage in the election of Dr. H. C.
Potter as Assistant Bishop of New
York. Many of the delegates say in
private that this party is rapidly gain
ing ascendency in the Church.
The House of Bishops met for organi
zation after the services, aud elected
Dr. H.C. Potter secretary. At 4 o'clock
the House of Clerical and Lay Depu
ties met for organization in the Church
of Holy Trinity, which is much better
adapted for the meeliug than Christ
Church. The House was cailed to or
der by the Secretary, the Rev. C. I.
Hutchins.
Among the persons nominated for
President of the House were the Rev
Drs. Harrison, of Troy ; Dix, of New
York ; Leeds, of Balrimore ; C. H.
Hall,of Brooklyn ; E. E. Beardslee, of
New Haven ; and Senator Edmunds,
of Vermont,
Drs. Dix and Leeds declined to al
low their names to he used,and Senator
Edmunds created much laughter by
stating that he was
for a Presidency of anything.
Beardslt#, w ho presided over the las
House, wf
He thauked the bouse for the honor and
referred to the importance of the present
tion as marking a hundred years
of the church's existence. The Rev. C.

" Every house there is a hospital," and

the fever death rate is about 20 daily.

Not Abandoned.
Washington, October 3—General
Swaim says there is no truth in the
published statement that the project of
erecting a monument to Gartleld iu
Washington under the auspices of the
Army of the Cumberland has been
abandoned and that the funds collected
for that purpose will be used iu tlie
erection of a monument in Cleveland.
The statement probably arose from the
fact that a monument, to Garfield is to
