Wa should judgo from the temor of Mr. Dawes' romarks, mado yesterday in Gon. Danke’ district, that ho ho lad novor hoard of tho adago: *A wiso man changes his mind: fool nover does.” If Mr. Dawes thinks to damagoe anybody nowadays by charging him with de- sertion from any particular party in this conotry, e is lamentably ignorant of the tendency of the times., Druggiste. We reproduce, from our issne of Thursday, the following datea of tho principal phenomens in tho Lunar Eclipse, which will occur to-night. 4o for wheat to Buffalo, Flour was dull and ondler. Whoat was moro activo aud a shado 16wer, elosing at 8lic cash or sollor the month, nand 860 for Docombor. Corn wan nctive and g0 lowor, cloaing at 70j¢o sollor tho month, aud 0673¢c for Novombor.

Shoop woro in good dewnnd at stoady ratos, ——————— That angust body known as tho Synod of Il nols North camo to & final conclusfon yestorduy in re Bwing, aftor boing roduced to infinitosmal proportions, It is only nocossnry to comparo tho votosin the Drosbylory aud the Synod to shiow tho relative Intorest n tholr procoedings, In the Chicago Prosbytary alono, 61 votes wore cast Lo cloar Prof. Swing of tho charges brought agains him. 1n tho Bynod there wro 300 voten, and 163 were ropresonted At tho opon- ing. Yet tho motion to ontortain the appoal recolved only O1 votes far and 23 ngainst, In the vole to sustaiu the appenl, thoro wero 41 for, 2 against, 2 to su. - in part, 32 absont, and 12 oxcused. And the faal voto dwindled down to some thirty-odd. Prof. Patton bad it all his own way. Wo do not know that he convineed anybody who did not como propared to volo with him, but it is ovidont from tho above rocapitulation that he tirod n good many out, After tho Svnod bhad wasted away in this wearisomo undertalilug, thoy wers at A loss to Imow whal fo do with Drof. Swing. Tho stake, faggots, sud fire-brand wors all ready, Lut tho martyr was misging. Tinally it occurred to thom that they haa onlered the Dresbytory to restore Prof. Swing's name to tho rolls. Ilappy thought ! They now ordered the Prosbytery to strilo his namo from the rolis. And this was tho condign punishment visited upon Swing, and this was Patton's vietory. The only thing that remaing is for the Chicago Presbytory to follow tho in- junctions of tho Synod seriatim : first, to rostoro his nameo, and sacond, to striko it off agaln, in doing which they will bo forcibly remindod of tho old rhyme: There was & man ta our town And ho was wondrous wiso; e Jumpod into & Lramble-bush And scratched out both is oyes, And when 1i6 found hia eyes were out, ‘With all hls might and maln He jumped into a briar-bush— And scratchod 'om fo again, THE REJECTION OF DR, SEYMOUR. Inthe rofusal of tho House of Delegntes of tho General Convention of the Episcopal Church to confirm the clection ot Prof. G, T. Seymour, Biehop-cleet of Tllinols, tho antagonism of the Chureh to Ritualism has very nearly, it not quite, reacied s climsx. A crisisin the Episcopal Clurch oitheris at hand or very near at band, Eitber Ritualism, or what is meant by Ritual- ism, {8 auti-Ipiscopallan or itisnot. Ifit is, ‘The moon will first touch the outer shadow at 10:533 p. m.; will touch tho true shadow, on her osstern limb, nt 11:513 p.m.; will bo totally oclipsed from 1:0¢ a. m. to 1343 a.m.; will Teave tho trno shadow st 3:1X & m,, aud leavo the partial shadow, or penumbra, at 8:59 »m, Tha nowa of the Ohio and Indians elections bas reached Wasbington, and proparations aro making to send the clerks homo to vote, There seoms to bo a general impression in Governmont citeles that tho November elections will roquir all tho Ropublican votes that can bo brought out. At presont, the indicationa are that tho mext Iouse wifl bo in the Lands of tho Opposition, thougl the party s making deaporate offorts to avort it. Our advices from Now York aro to the effeot {hat the recent failures in that city avo the logit imate results of lsst yoar's panic, and that thero is no new Insolvency, but only tho surface mani- festations of that which has been concenled for nsear. This s certalnly the case with tha bank- ing-houso of Henry Clows & Co. Thero wero ramore in this cily yestorday of tho suspension of & Now York banking-houso whick bas a largo connection with our Wostern grain iotorests, and thoso rumors hiad o deprossing tendency on the grain market, The lnst-named dispatchis, how- ever, authoritatively denlod in a dispatch printed olaowhere in this issue. Somo of tho leading cltizens of the Thirtoonth Ward regard the nomination of the Republican e.ndidate for Alderman ns irregular, and aro :herwige dlssatisfied with tho choice, About 400 citizens of the ward, including such men a8 Jotn A, Tyrrell, Mancel Talcott, Georgo Sher- wood, 8. A. Eent, D, Worthington, George W. Nowcomb, and others equally well-known, have solicited Mr. Charles H, Oase to bo s candidato, and it ia understood that he {s willing to serve if olocted. Mr. Uaso is s good citizon, s prom- inent businoss man, and has an setive personal interest In the wolfars of Chicego; it is to be hoped that he will bo electad. An oftort wos mado yesterday to collect through our reporters some indication of the soutiment among the Episcopalians concerning tbo rejection of Dr. Soymour ; but eo many of the gentlomen promunent in tho Church are ab- xent, that tho results wore not very salisfactory. Tlere 1810 doubt about the unanimity of this dioceso aguinst Ritualism, but thero is & docidea difference 3 to whethor Dr, Seymour waa justly identified with Ritualism. A resolution was in- troducod nto tho General Convontion yestordsy which indicates that Ritusllem will be dofinitely put down In tho American Church. It provides for & wew canon roquiring sll Bishops to investigato every case of Ritualism, admonish tho clorgy ongagod in it practiocs, and, it nocossary, prewont thom for triel, The proposed cauon declares tho uso of incenso, the employmont of the crucifix in the forma of public worship, the olovation of the communion for sdoration, bowings, genuflox- tions, or prostrations bofore the communion, or any other form of adoring it, ba evidoooo of Ritualfem, and to require tho attontion of tho Bishop in the dloceso whon it appoars. Whather tho strong sentiment =gaivet Ritualism betrayed the Convention into the error of associating Dr, Boymour unjustly with it, I yet an important queation. ‘The produce markota wore sl:w yostorday, . but lens weak till near mghtfall, with & bettor shipplng movoment, Mosa pork was in falr de- mund at unchanged prices, closing at $10.00@ 19,25 cash, aud $10.05@10.00 sollor the year, Lard was quiot and stoady, at $12.873(@16.00 por 100 Iba cash, aud ¥11,16@11.20 soller tho year.

The Episcopal Church has boen singularly froo from schism, proporly socalled. Tbis is to bo attributed ina great measura to tho fact that it is tho cstab- lished Church in England. In this country thero is no established Church ; and here and not in England o schism in that donomination may be looked for firat. There ia hLero no powar oxtor- nel to tho Church to hLold it together. In En- gland thore la such a power. Both lore andin England tho point on which parties in the Church arc ot variance is Ritualiam. Tho ques- tion between tho Ritualists and tho anti-Ritmal- ists has sssumed vast importsnce and has de- voloped much bitteruess. Two General Conven- tions of tho Church havoairendy attomptod a so- htion of it, and bave failled. Tho English courts have had to considor it. Tho English Parliament hos been obliged to pass laws pro- eeribing it. Gladstone hns nob thought it bo- neath his notice. Disraeli has not been ablo to avold it. Moro than onco has an eminent clor- gyman in the Church failed to recoive the honors of the Episcopato because be was tainted, or suspectod to be tainted, with tho Ritunlistic her- esy. Not, howover, uniil tho day boforo yoster- day, did tho foeling against tho movemont reach its climax, whon the Rav. Mr. Soymour, an ablo scholar, a dovout clergyman, o Professor in ono of tho principal theological institutions of the country, was, becaugs of his supposed Ritualistio tendencles, voted by the Houss of Delogates to ‘bo anunflt porson to flll tha position made va cant by tho deceaso of Bishop Whitchiouse, The Ritunlsts and anti-Ritualists may now bo eaid to be squarely at {esno. Outsiders have a vory inadoquate ides of the significanco of the Ritualistio controversy., They aro too apt to suppose that it is a question of candles, of dress, or genufloxions. Buch is not the caze. Woro it » mers matter of taste, the contonding partios might casily enough sgreo to dieagroo, on the priuciplo that thero {8 no uso in disputing about it—de gustibus non est disputan- dum, The differonce raust bo one of essentinls or it could not becomo so embittored, It s roal- 1y a controvorsy as to whethor baptiemal rogen- eration and the Ron!

Tho condemnation of Rit- ualism will bo takon ns & condomnation of those dogrmns, and horein les its chiof dan- gor to tho Church. FEvidontly, tho ad- heronts of Ritualism aro attached to their peous lar belief. They are attachod also to the Chureh, Whon tho question ariscs which thoy eball ad- liero to, wail they cling to Ritualism ? Analogy inclinos us to believe thot this will be tho ro- pult. All oxporionco teaches tbat in roligious controversios mon oling to thoir beliofs, and aro rondy to sacritico much that thoy hold in com- mon with others to tho ono point or two points which distinguigh them from all others of thelr kind, By the action of the Genorsl Convention, the contest Iu xunowed in the Diocose of Illinois, and it cannot be denled that the Rituslists—or, If thet namo 14 not liked, tho frionds of Dr. Bey- mour—have got & sovero back-set. A great many wavorlng members will mow bo tusned, and when the next Diocossn Convention sssombles Dr. Beymour will hava fower frienda than he had in the Jast, P — The case of Methodiat horosy, mhich has baon on trial Iv Indinvapolis this wook, is rather amusing than othierwles, Yue Rov, Thomas A.

That in bis own bo- Ilf, and in bolalf of othors aflictod like him- self, rosiding in Lllinols, Missouri, Kentucky. and olsowhore, ho visited Moxico to obtain from tho Emporor Maximillan & grant of land and a chartor of privileges for suc colony or colonios of Amoricans ns might desiro to move outof this God-forsaken country. Such is the story that bos been circulated by his enomies ; but wo are glad to bo able not only to doclare that this is falao, but to toll tho roal facts, which, whon Inown, cannot fail to place Mr. Csulfield's potriotism in honorable contrast with that of his slandorors. Mr. Caulfield waa born in Virginia, and his onrly years of manhood wore spont in Koentucky, but as Lis mind matured he vaturally roached tho conclusion that Chicago was the best pinco tolivoin. Tbough s Southornor by birth, edu- cation, and nasocintion, ko was & vigorous War Democrat, and, ss will bo woll remembored, ho and Wilbur X, Storoy vigorously supported the Goverumont, and oucouraged onlistmouts, and from timo to time gent chocring words of com- fort and Lopo to the boys in blue. If wo mis- tako not, AMr. Cnulfield and Mr. Storey discoun- tonancod the three days’ Domocratio Convention at Springfleld, in which it was proposed that all further ‘* aggroasive wor” should conse. Their patriotio offorts in bohalf of tho Union continued down to tho lateat moment, and when Gon. Lee surrendored, and tho whole Confaderacy foll lilo a card-houso, their joy was unbounded, Nr, Caulfield, howover, wasted no money in bonfires, processions, or othier noley and oxtray- agant mothods of colobration. Hia patriotism was of &more practical kind. Mo conceived tho idea of aunoxing AMexlco to this groat sud gla- rious country. Io was for opening the doors swido, so tiat all mankind of every raco and color should be brought in to sharo tho liborty and en- jor the prosperity of the rounited Ropublic. Has- tily communicating Lis viowa to Mr. Storoy and cthsr patriots, ho collected some funds, took stonmor for Moxico, and, with the Amer- jean flag in ono hand and the Thir- teonth Amondmont in the otber, pro- sontod Limself to tho Emporor Masimilian in the ball of tho Montczumas! His prophetio soul bad told bim that tho reign of Maximilian was to bo short. So without much proface lto told Max that he was from Chicago, that he ropresont- ed the Tnvinciblo Club which had won such dis- tinction in tho late War, aud many thousands ot othor Amarican citizons; that he wantod Aax to convoy to him one or two Btates of tho Em- pire, and that, upon bLaving tho doed recorded, thoso Americans would move in and become Mexlcan citizens, Mr. Caulfield, or some person about his sizo, would naturally bo placed at the head of affairs, and bo would st onco, snd as rapidly sa poasible, nulte Moxico to the United Statos, thoroby extonding tho ares of freodom to tho boundary of Contral Amorica, snd making & grand etride towards “an ocean-bound Ro- publio.” This was Mr. Cnulficld’s mission to Moxico, which has beon so grossly and unjustly misrop- rogonted. While Bidvey Bmith and tho othor mon who are now opposing Mr. Canlficld’s elac- tlon woro at homo sttondiug to their business, collecting largo feos, nnd luxuriating in tho pleasuros of & Chicago climate, Mr. Caulfiold was braving tho porila of tho ses, tho yellow faver, and the Bloxican bauditti, in a patriotls offort to secure an empiro, and to add it as a now star to tho constollation of the Union. Having thus given the true version of Mr, Caulliold’s miesion to Mexico in 1805-G, it boing the firat time it has boen made publie, and having thus vindicated our follow-cltizen, we request tho nowspaper with a watery profix to stop black- guarding Mr. Coulfiold iv such a watery way. 1t Mr, Caullicld failed to annox Mexico, the fault wag not his, Mo did his beat. The Denver Tribune notices with satisfaction tho change which has come over tho habits of the Colorado miners, Horetofore they have bo- longed to that migratory clase of bolugs who, liko tho boos, work all summer, and spond the wintor in consuming what they have collected in previous monthe.

Tho doc- tors’ assumption that the renting of oflices ovor drog-storos boara no rolation to tho price of modicines is good as s thoory, but how about tho fact? Another resolution begs the drug- gists to oxplain to pationts the davger of ronowing prescriptions without the physician’s advico, This ebows = sharp look-out for fecs. It may bo presumed that, if tho pntient Lins taken one bottlo with safety, ho can commotco & sccond ono without further ad- vico.
