Te the Editor of The Chicaco i ribuns: Curcaso. Aug. 28.—As the Sunday Times has anow editor who takes a very deep interest in tho welfara of our dear old Protestant Episcopal Church, believed to be one whose office espec- ially qualifies lum to *‘set in order the things that are wanting,” and whose watckfal care and earnest lsbors guard well the outposts of the Church's citadel, well learned in all the wiedom of the early churches, but most of sll ia the lore of modimval times, auxious for the return of tho modern Church to the ceremonial prevalent befors the reformation of the sixtecnth century, from the thraldom and superstitions of the mid- dle ages ; and whose high opinion of the clergy lead him 5 see but ome among the 8,000 snd more who is fully quslified for the olice of Bishop in the Church of Geod, in and for the Diocese of lilivois, it is here suggested in ac- cordauce with tho circular very recently issued signed by four layme, that the Dioceso doclino to go into aa election of a Bishop, at the coming Consention, and im- wedistely place itself in commission for aa indefinite period, nutil the General Con- veation shall Go awsy with Standing Committees, whose Iate action has 8o blocked the wheels of M. duevalism tu this Diocese ato cause serious alarm to the daitkf:L ‘Time must ba given for these guadiaus of the Episcopai office to repeut of their mixdoiogs, roverce their verdict rospect- ing the Bishop-elect—for it must be borne In miud that Dr. De Koven is stili tue Bishop-elact, notwithstanding bis rejection by o more tuan two-thirds vote. Ka:ing in this, it is furlher sugges ed that all matters pertawing to the wei faia of tho Diocess bo referrod to the Cuaocellor, whose chief oflice is to act as - adviser of the Crown,” and sce that no un: fit per-on be consccrated Bisbop of the great Diocese of 1llois. Suould those eminently wise suggestions fail af approval, then anotber alternaiive prosents itsell. The wrivor admits that 1t is revolution- ary, but what of that when great and vital inter- ests are in jeopardr. Let the Cunvention coo- clude that, ou the whole, theie is reaily little prosiect of the Standing Committees acknosl- wdgtog that they have been nnstaken, and thero- fore notvery likely to reverse theiraction ; that it might tage too long to expect retief from the Gen- eral Convention ; and that possivly their pledged and standing candida’e msy a: some future time be made a Bishop when the Church shall become wiser. and theu his wonderful abilities will be appreciated; and common people be able to no- derstand bis views,—of courso it is known that hhe has never attempted an explauation himself of lus views on tho Sacrameat—but give hum an oproriunity 1:0w, and all will ba made plain. I come now to my last and final suggestion. Should it not be sdopted, I greatly fear that 1o the distans fature the Church will sadly lament nou following my sdvico. The remedy for our apomalous condition in the brother- hood of Dioceses will be apparent to tho mind of all believers in the **true Charch.” It1s tain: the Convention shonld proceed at once and elect the Chancelior Diehop of the Diocese. Why not? Have we not ono example in the early Chureb for such action ? History informs us we buve. Certainly to secure Buch & boon therc’ could be mo reasopable objection. But the Chancellor is ouly a laymaa, say you. All right, but my objector must be righted: does he not know that Descons’ orders apd priesis’ orders might be passed over on the ground that the **jess is swallowed up by the greater?” Shounld _there bs establishe usage or canon in tne way, they rhonld be dis- regarded—anvthing 8o that tpe Church could return to primitive practice. Wa should then see orderin place of confusion, the glad return of the multiiudinous *sccts” now so sadly disfiguring the face of the Christian world to the bosom of tbe Catholic Church. the weld sod the lamb wonld then Jie down together, and s little chuld—I beg pardon,—a Cuancellor, Bishop—*' shon'd lead them.” Bucely this would be a consummation devoutly to oe wished for. Let us rise, brethren of the Episcopal Church, and expecially of 1his great Diocese of Lilinow, and labor as we bave never labored before for the attainment of such a splendid result. Why not? ‘Fhiz Diocese is stall vacant, and the occasion shola not pass unimproved. Anotbereuch time way never azain occur, another such candidate never b presented to an sdmiring Dioceso. As ao enconragement we can rely on the co- operation of every member of the **Confrater- nitv of the Blessed Sacrament,” who alone are right. and trae vo the ritualistic pracsices of the Church of the Middle Ages. These must be re- vived or the Church be lost in the multitude of sects awarming all ovor the land. But alas, for the unstability of hnman calea- tatious! This golden peiiod in the bistory of this ** magpiticent Diocese " may not berealized. 1f we canuot have a Chancellor-Bishop we may contirue the office of Chancellor. If not vital to the being of ‘the Churcn, it certainly1s to ite well being. And just here Ihavea werd tosay toour brethren in Iowa, Cease all your contentions. Has not your late Couvention been proved ss ] maae up of an ** ungodly crow? " The clergy, I mean. Tbe laity are all very nice gentlemen, bLut, somehow, a very large mmajority have confidence in their pastors, and would to day Voto with them were & chowce of a Bishop -still an open question with them. "The few signers of the protest in sixteen parishes do nat. congtitute s majority,—uot more than a respeci- able munority. _lhere aie fifty-aigut panshes o the Dioceso. Some important ones were nat represanted io the late Convention. They cid not auticipate such & struggle. Notless than fifty of these parishes are in a good healihy condition, some, it is true, without resideot pas- tors. No sixtecn partsheshave protested aganst the election of Dr. Eccleston. This has been stated time snd agamn by the President of the Standing Commitiee and others. The Confer- ence Commuttee, made ap of some of tne best men 1n the Conveution, have certified tha: no corrap- tion was used,—that there was no corruption or sute of votes. These men's words would be taken by the protestors without hesitation in any secular matrer. but i an_ecclesiastical, re- iigions matter they are charged with falsshood! The charge is substautisliy repeated by the writer in last Bundsy's Times, supposed to be the Chancelior himself, who feels a wonderfal interest in oar neighboring Diocese of Iowa. A clergyman living in Chicago. bat not belonging to the Diocese of Iowa, 18 charged with origi- pating *‘the manufacturing process” by which Dr. Eccleston’s election was se- cured. A moie wilful falsehood pever was spoken, or one which has less foundation in fact. The writer does not himself make the chaige, but qealifies it by the conventent epi- thet, *‘it iy said.” The clergyman referred to i well known in Chi-ago, has been koown and beld responuble poattious in the Charch for al- most lorty years, aud it is now rather late for him to lend himself to any disbooorabje course in the cleciion of » Biiioo. Safice it fo sy that his views differ.” ha ¥ays diffe probably always will differ widely, from the writer in tbe KM In his blindnoss; he bo- lioves he may be just as near the Kingdom of Heaven, just 88 loyal to the ~Church of which® be is an unworthy minister, s though he held the unchristian dogmsa of auchurcbiug othors, who walk not according to our traditious. He probably learned his theol- ogy from some of the Old School men of which there ara now too few left, before the writer in Sunday’s Z'imes was free from his motaer’s arms. My advice to Tows is this : I would have her Bishop-elect—who i8 12yal enough to believe that Btandiug Committees bave duties and respousi- bilities—withdraw detlioo the *‘corrapt elec- tion, " join hands with the *-great Diocese of Illiuois,” place 1tself under the leadership of oour Chencellor, and prove to the world that at Jeast for & time, thers can baa *Chorch with- out a Bishop,” provided there be a Chancellor. 1t would take but afew years to bring about a union with Rome, when St. Peter bimself, or his only legitimate successor, would be reinecated as Suprema Head of thowhole Catholic Charch, not excepting the ** magniticent Diocess of Itinois.” Towa woald then stare hec glory. strife and contention would cease, divisions be no more known, love aid gocd will be In order and pre- vail thronghout our torders, and, what is more important sull, the * Confraternitv of the Blessed Saciament™ would be hlppy‘.' —_— SANKEY IN THE PULPIT.

The Pittsbugg Dispaich gives s lengthy ac- count of the first appearance of Mr. Bankey in an American church eervico since his return, 1t was at a camp-meeting at Leetadale.

DECISION IN THE KEET CASE. The decision of Sir Robert Phillimore, the Desn in the Corut of Arches, in the celebrated tombstons case, has been rendered, and is against the claims of the Wesleyan ministere to the appropriation of the titls of ** Reverend.” The inscription on the tombstone reads : ** In memory of Annie Augusta Keet, the younger daughter of the Rev. H. Keet, Wesloyan minia- tor, etc.” Sir Robert beld that the words ** Wes- leyan minister ” were an exact description of Mr. Keet, and that he snould have bean content- ed with these alone. He laid down the law as to parish gaveyards in these words : Tha churchyard 18 the freshold of the incumbent, subject to tho Tight of the partsirioner or the stranger happening to diein the parish to simple intermeut,jbut to 10 more.., Indeed, the incumbent haa the right to pasturo animals which do not_jnjure the bodica iuter- Ted in the churlyard, and every gravestone, of course, Interfores with that' pastursge. The incumbent for this, 88 for other more important ressons, has & prima facio right to prouibit altogether the pla-ing of any gravestone, or to permit it on proper onditions, such 58 thoso which relate to the sizo cnd character of the stone, the legality and the propristy of the nacription upon’ is, or the payment of & proper fee. Usage, in- 3cd, has much favored the placing of such stones, and, a8 a general rule, the incumbent permits them ; While the exercise of his right of refnsal has become, or pertaps alwags was, subject to the control of the ‘I'ne placing of a gravestone at allis, therefore, matter of permission on the part of the incum- bent of a parish. On the question of overraling tho dacisinnof the Bishop of Lincoln against Mr. Koet, Sir Robert docided that thare Was 00 reason tor interference. He describes the de- mand of Mr. Keet apon the Rector of the parish 28 ope * to coufer by a permarent inscription in his own churchyard, upon another person, that pecul.ar religions title by which he alone bas beeu bitherto designated aod kuown to Lis own arishioners and to his own church.” *I donot,” £s adds, * think that the Court has simply to decide whather the prefixing the title ‘ Rever- ond’ to the description ‘Wesleyan minister’ be 8o clearly illegal that ezen if the clergyman consented the Court ought to prohubit it. Ido not pronounce an opinion to that effect, but it is the duty of tne Court to comsider mot only whether it would be lawful in the abstiact to allow such an inscription ss this, but also whether it be expedient and proper to do go. This consideration_sometimes muat, and often v, dopend upon local circamstances, of which the Bisnop is, by _roason, law, and practice, the fittest judge.” He declines, therefore, to over- rule thie Biabop's decieion. * % ‘Tha case will ba appealed to the Privy Council.

POLICY OF THE ULTRAMONTANES, The Berun correspondent of the London Times haa the following relative to the church troublea 1n Prussia: When the Bavarian Blshops ushered in the General Elections in the Kingdom by the issue of anti-Prussien pastorais, some Liveral papers were enabled to refer tuelr action to an aliegad order of tae Pope. This stazement, implying the direct interference of the Valican with the domestic adfairs of-tho country, w3s at once_contradicted Ly an organ of the Curis ot Rome, The contradiction, In its turn, has since beea Tefuted by the Lonn Gazette, a semi-ofticil organ of the Old Catholic leaders, asserting in 8o many words that the Papal Nuncio at Munich was directed to communicate with the Bishops cocern= ing the clerical advice to bs vouchsafed to the'laity in regard to the elections. Athough dwelt upon by the semi-otlicial Noru-. Adpemeine Z#tuna, this Tefutation iv ignored by the spokesmen of the Uitra- ‘montanes,—a crcumstance regarded as damuing by the Liberals, who boaat of having once more detected the Pope in sowing disaffection in Germany. What- Gver the opluion of tue Prussiaa Goverament on 1his delicate point may be, the conduct of the Bavarin Government in this particalar emergency has given as little satisfaction hery as that of tuo Pope. Whether ordered to do 20 or not, the fact is the Bavarisn Bish- ops did interfere, and st in o manner often de- nounced by tbe ropresentatives of the Im- perial Government, as betraying disloalty, or, perhaps, even worse sentiments towurds .the constituted suthorities of the land. The of- fense being accounted o, heinous, and the proof of it 8o complete, It was expected at Berin 3hat the Bavarian Government would think themselves entitled to hold the Bishops respunsible, and ulsimate- Iy withdraw their stipends, But the Munich nis- ters once more disappointed the sanguine expectations of their Borlin friends. Toough they at tirat displayed disposition to puuish the Bishops for a step which, bad it been syicensafal, would have caused the Cauinct o retire, a fow days’ consideration suticed to make thiem abundon tho deslgn. Tuey have now evidently determined to persevere in the temporizing policy 8o long pursued by them, In accordince witd their oid programme, tuey will do their utmost to keep tha Ulrsmontates out of office &8 long 38 they can; but while themselves in office they will Le con- tent to defend thelr position against ecclesiastical a without alming at the capture and abaolute demolition of the hoetile sironghold. Very opposite motives counsel tnis middle course. Begurd for the feelings of the lower classes induces them to spars the Bishops ; deference to the idiosyncrasies of their Bovereign, who will not bresk with his Bisnops a8 long as his Bishops profess to_distinguish betweon bim aud his Prussiun ally, is anotlier motive com- 1nending reserve, while tne same reason which mude them the associsies of the North German Confederucy in 1806, an 1 members of tue German Kmpire in 1310, Faunot but convince them to-day that tbere is an ab- solute necessity for keeping on good terms with the Beriin Government If tney Wish to hold thelr own. As some parties in France seem to be ludulging s hope of winning Bavaria over one duy, it is bardly supertiuous to dwell upon the circumstances which render such & turn of the wheel ex- tremoly improbale, Leaving' out of con- siderstion thut German patriotisia wea d counsel at a {angerous juncture,—a patriotism quite 58 _potent at Manich £ st Berlin in those modern times,—I only refer to what selfuhness woald _suggest, even if disin- tercsted selfishness had ceased o exist. Froab from Fren.onian buttlo-fields, the Bavarian Cabinet con- cluded & permanent alliince with Prusais in 1856 tho moment they heard of Nuroleon's offer to sunction ait Prussu'a conquests provided he were accorded a slice of Buvarian soil. In 1810, motives of a different, thongh hardly less compulsary, naturo led 1o » urre- sponding resuit; wheres, in tho prosent as well s in 0o imnedinte futars, Drussa, it is Sbvious, whateves Imay happen, cannot fall so low a8 to experieace any ‘particulsr difficulty in maintaning her romtion at Pio coss of such allies as might prove unreliable. Couplod with the attachment to Fatherland, strong in the dncated classes, the aimy, and a large portion of the burcaucracy, s renders the consummation of {ho French hopes concerning Bavaria s thing not to b thaught of as long sa caution s not altogetiier thrown to the atMunich, It 1s morally certain, there- fore, that the majority of two the Ultramontanea have obtainea in the last eiection will havana power to force the Munich Government to adopt eitber s mpra Lib- eral or & mere Ultramontane policy ; and that, though “ill bo a6 little prepared to socond ail Prussiv's ‘morions in the Federal Council mow as befors, they T¥ill ba a8 resdy a3 theyhave slways have boen 10 exe- Cate Limperial laws passed by a majority of Votes. e niher cirious incident supplics authentic proof of 4116 means employed. in bringing priestly infiuence to boar upon the laity. Yon are awaro that the Prussian Churcs Property Admiuistration Lill, though solemn- ly denounced Ly the Bishops 28 amounting to con- fiacation when first uced into the House, has since been declared by them compatible with the insti- tationsand arrangements of the Church. They have Iately permitted the parishes $o profit by the right veatod ‘1o them of loolony after their own_ pocuniiry faire; they do mot object to prisats bocomi- ing mombers of the . mew vestry ~moctings, and they are spparently ready ‘recog” Dizo those meetings as the leqitimate repro- Sontatives of the mrishes, and the parish chnrcnes. Tt s trtio this forced asscnt has becn wrung from tao istiop by the retlection that, wers they to_ continue iheir opposition to the 1aw, the vestry meotings would sither bg controlled by the’ nou-believing membors of thiess bo too indiffer- form any mect- ings, be veplacd by Government commissartes ollichting itbout any parsh control at all. Under these circumstances tus Bishops naturally thought scquisscence s pis ailer wiich could mot be avoitted for the time baing ; but, 88 in their frst pro- feat, they abhorred a8 o 10 what in their latest utter- ances they descrive 18 a duty,—viz.: the participa- Hion of the ity in carrylog out the law,—the conces~ commendabla in jtaelf, is at variance with the highest priniplos of duty taid down by themselves.

A RELIGIOUS MISGELLANY. THE CEUBCH IN GENEDAL. The ontlook for the Baptiat Theological S8em- inary in Chicago for the coming session is good. ‘More than sizty applications have come in from new students. The new church edifice of the Rev. Thomas Beecher, of Elmira, N. Y., is rapidly approach- ing completion. It will occupy a full block, and cost about $135,000. The Protestant Episcopal Church in Pennsyl- vania has 20,906 con'municants, 101 churches, 11 chapels, and 59,852 sittings. The aggregate value of the church progerty is $5,757,300. The First Baptist Church, it is announced, will occupy the lecture-room of tbeir new house of worship, corner of Soath Park avenuo and Thirty-first st1eet, on the first Sabbath in Bep- tember. Bishop Cummins ssys there are now fifty ministers acl forty congregations of the Re- formed Episcopal Church in the United states and Canads, and that the denomination is eigh- teen months old. Bisaop Gross, of Georgis, wanted £20,000 to fisieh the Catholic Cathedral in S8avannab. The money was at once furnished by the members of his congregation, and be could bave had as much more if he had asked for it. A writer 10 the Ezaminer and Chronicle claims that the first camp-meetings in America were beld tn 1767 by two Baptist mipisters,—the Rev. Samuel Harris and the Rev.
