For so emivent a nobleman, Count Jones has for some years been known mostly as a langer-on about the courts, and is described bya fricud as a general borrower of small amounts. As I gald, ke owes his publicity to the persistent Sun, which as likely as_not has £t him on 1 the p.‘cscu' instance. The case in recard to Mr. Sothern is now pretty well known. There is no question that the “Crushed Trazedian,” who takes *his? some- times mixed, but more often straight, does bear a striking resemblance to JONES THE COUNT CEORGE; Dbut nobody would have thought of it, not even 1L:¢ Count himself, had not the papers seen the vast opportunity 1or amusement, and called at- tention to the fact. Indeed, there are some who £0 £0 far as to assert that Mr. Sothern, who has 2u eve for practical jokes which will pay, is Limsclf at the bottom of the whole affair. Cer- tawmly no more_inexpensive and telling adver- tisenient could bave been devised by the shrewdest anager, for all the papers have amused the public with their accounts of the fuit, and the pubtic have been drawn to the Park with the doubie purpose of secine at the fame time Mr. Sothern’s new character, and what the Count Joaunes looks like. this Be an canuot be denied on the day before bringing Ins preat claim for §$50.000 against the 1un who was willing to fight him, and who Xmndly chose cannons for the wcepons, the Count was in his usual haunts, dressed in his usual shabby-zentecl, coilarless custume, and enzazed in his usual practice of coniidentially T ting loans of trom 10 cents upward, s cunty for which he always had ready in his vest pocket, m the shape of notes of hand. Behold 1he sudden change in his condition ! Next morn- jner. when he appeared to file his claim,—a mo- ment which he describes as among the proudest of “his life, not excepting thosc spent in fricndly INTERCOURSE WITHL KINGS AND POTENTATE: e cetera,—he was dapper with a clean shi bosom atid anew paper-collar, while his scedy clothes had ziven place to garments becoming a nobleman who was able to be damaged to the extent of half a hundred thousand of dol- lars. And then, 2t Tammany Hall last night, Low should h¢ appear to deliver his lec ture save in_ Bpeciless broadcloth, with white vest, Ted cravat, pierced by mod pin, white Kids, a bir. of bright ribbon in buttyn-hale, and a_lovely voun lady upon his arm? Sumething in the way of fortune has as- suredly befallen the hitherto fmpecunious but roud and baughty noble, who counts among his millions of fricnds Sir Oakey Hall and Lord Thecdorius Magnus Tiltonius, who was tutored in oratory by that master, Danicl Webster, aud Wiio could never be a crushed tragedian Since Macready was his stage sponsor. While the celebrated case drags on in the courts, Mr. Soth- ern continues 10 vlay as well as his nervousness will permit. “The Crushed Tragedian,” by the Way, is 50 far the most successful production of the écason, and is almost as funuy as_Count Joannes lnmself. Many hold that “Mr, Sothern has surpassed bimself in this creation, and so madc an advancg on Dundreary, something be was hardly expected to do. With thiis exception at the Park. the theatrical opening this fall.was neither brilliant nor very promising. The pieces were of a stock charac- ler, fair in their way, but not striking enough lodraw the money from people’s pockets in 1liese cautious times. The first event in com- «dy that deserves to be noted as of jmportance was the production Monday night of ME. BOUCICAURT'S NEW DRAMA. “Marriage.” This has drawn {rom the critics Bere an ovposiuun as singularly. unanimous as that shown inother instances. ~Mr. Boucicault lias tursied the cniticisms ratber happily by put- ting over against them those of the Philacelphia which was a5 unanimously in his favor. hat tie course taken liere was due to Boucicault’s uadverse comments on the atic critics in his North American Reuew but the author does not believe the aritics capable of such a thing, and only sarees them with unconscious iznorance. As all admit, *Marriage,” as brought out s Wallack’s, is superbly mounted and well-plaved. The scene at Shell Beach in the “hird and fourth acts, and that in the ffth, as it may, it where throush the darwing-room windows the Epcctatars look out upon the broad blue ocean, are cspecially excellent and artistic; while the bridal costumes cqual any dressing shown on the metropolitan stage, which hiag Deen raised to aligh standard in_this regafd through tne attention of such fashion connoisscurs as Mrs: Sberidan Shook. As to the piece itself, perhaps it would have been_ better, certainly in Letter taste, had it been less advertised and written about as “LEGITIMATE " COMEDY, as though it were the most remarkable thing of the present era for a man to produce such a thing. Better, beeause such a pronounced claim Jeads naturally to sharpened eriticism, which * Marriage” will not endure so well as ' Lon- don Assurance.” The tendency of the play is continually toward farce. The most pi- thetic parts ‘are not allowed to take effcct before some contretemps _ induces laughter. There are, aside from this feature, various chanzes which would not onlybring the play more within the clum of Jevitimate, bat which would vastly improve it. But after all eriticisms of details, such as the striking out of g double entendre here and there, aud the shortening somewhat ot the five acts, particularly by cut- ting the love-making, auy critic must allow that “Marriaze™ has many taking qualitics, and is well calculated to boid its place. The opening-niaht was very brilliant, but thie fact of larze audiences on’ succeeding evenings is more telling asto the judemment of the publi However ill o much mixed plot and counte piot may agree with the first standard of comy dy, it generatly agrees well with the spectators, who like 1o sce a multiplicity of evils resuit in an uncommon amount of havpiness, as was the se with the interesting family of Goldsmith's charmiug Viear. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND. Maurice Grau, the dapper manager who has bheen somewhat acquainted with good fortune nce his connection with the Afmee company, Just now heiugr laughed at by various of his riends, Ilaving gone into sharp practice him- self, it is decmed d and proper that he should be the victim of sharp practice in return, For many years Mr. Grau has been the owner of a stock of costumes, from the rental of which he has gained many a dollar. The stock lone ago became worn and seedy, but had in it so larae an clement of dash and deceptive color, that it was always made to pass for a good fizure. Some months since, when Manager Hess was about to start on us_California tour, hic entered into a contract for Mr. Grau’s stace clothes, purnosing with these to dazzle the cyes and sati inations of the theatre- goers on the turther coast. The arranzements for departure were completed, when Mr. Grau dedlll]?‘ ruised his price 25 cents on the dollar. 1t was too late for Mr. 1less to procure anew outlit, as the owner of the cos:umes well knew., So Mr. Hess proceed- ed, saying nothing, but resolved to make a trick Wworti two of the one he had to pay for. From Califoruia he sent regularly his femittance of SI25, instead of SI00. Then he Jooked over his contract carefully, and found 1ts conditions to be these: That he'should pay the price stipulat< cd upon only so lonz as the company actually used the costumes: that he should then pay the return freightage on ‘them, but the owner to luse the time conswned cn_route. There was nothinz aid as {0 how or by what line they ack. This was Mr. Hess' op- Wheu his engagements were filles, coolly packed the stock, aud shinped it for New York by s sel. Nothiug further need be said, except tbat Mr. Grau is still ¥ai ing for the arrival of the ship, watching cagerly the marine coluen in the papers, afid cursine con. trary winds, Mr. Hesz, aud his own luck, since he has lost two or three valuable chances for rental. 1lis friends console him by assurances tiat sometimesdt does not take a vessel more than four or five months to round the Cape in oud Weather, and that undoubtedls the vo: tuwes will arrive sately, unless the hotd springg aleak, or the rats are particularly ferocious.

EPISCOPALIANS. Proceedings of the Fourth Day of tho Triennial Convention, Bostox, Oct. G.—The Tricnnial Episcopal Couvention had only onc session to-day. Chief-Justice Waite made lis appearance to- day. The Rev. Mr. Taill, Sccretary td@the Archbishop of Canterbury, was introduced, and said the English Church was in full sym- pathy with the Church of this country Harnilton Fish was added to the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution. = Mr. Hill, of California, offered amendments to the Coustitution, which were referred. The first was: It would be unwisc to chanze the name of the Protestant Episcopal Church, as it was time-honored. The sccond was to strike out the word *four” in the sccond article of the Constitution and substitute **two.” The Trustees of the Missionary Bishops' fund made their report. The balance on hand at the beginuinz of the year was $203; income, $2,178; oxpenses, 8,331 cash on hand, $145. joint committee was appointed to consider how the exvenses of the Convention could be lessened. A resolution was referred that a part of Jowa be set under mi nary jurisdiction. A resolution was presented and referred that the canons be changed so_that candidates fgr the priesthood should not be ordained for three years alter bemng recerved as a candidate, or for e year after réceiving the deacon’s order. The resolution regarding the setting oI a part, of adiocese for missionary jurisdiction upon' which discussion was begun Friday, was taken up. Dr. Fulton, of Wisconsin, opposed the chapge. James Parker, of New Jersey, favored the resolution, and it was finally voted that the question be made a special order dor Tuces- day. “The Chair appointed a committee to nominate d of Missions. the Board of o8 York Sun. oct. 4, The acriwonious little breeze that sprung up on Thursday in the New York Diocesan Con- vention is indicative of a sbarper storm that may severely vex the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Churen which will as- 1 liberties, and by bi. semble in Trinity Church, Boston, on Thursday. Fy Ritualistic tendencled, personal ambition, and party hatreds have crept into the House of Bish- ops as well s the clerieal and lay deputics, and some unpleasant scenes are likely to ensue, though they will be partly veiled by the formal secresy which is supposed. to cover the proceed- ings of the former body. Among the disturb- v questions likely to arise is the proposed division of the Protestant Episcopal Church into seven Archiepiscopal sees, with the Archbishon of New York as Primate of the Church; the chanae of name from Protestant Episcopal to ““The American Catholic Church *'; permission to shorten the £crvices at pleasure, ‘and greater freedom to those of the clergy who are ritual- istically inclincd. i There bas been a general disposition to divide dioceses and enlarge the Episcopate in. late years, and the House of Dishops bas conse- quently became rather an unwieldy body. It consists now of fitey-nine Bishops, and there are two prelates awaiting consecration. The in- crease of Episcopates opened this door of honor to a number of the younger clergy whose talents are not svecially ‘conspicuous, and the result has been that the social dignity of the House of Bishops has sufered, and a_prelate is no longer lovked up Lo as the incarnation of-all the virtues and a living epitome of cloquence. Bricfly, the relizions volitics of the Episcopal beneh 1n: be summarized us follows: Twenty-nive of the Bishops may be classed as “High Church® in doctrine, if not in practice, Fourteen are moder- ate churchmen, and fourtecn belong to the “ Low Church ™ party distinctively. 'Two are of the ** Broad Church® stripe—the cloaueut Bistiop of Rhode Island leading this infinitessi- wal section. Among the teading High Church Bishops are Potter of New York, McCosky of Mich Whittingham of Maryland, Kip of California, Quintard of Tennesice, Doane ‘of Albany, and Ferry of fowa. The Low Church leaders are Smith of Kentucky. the Presiding Bishop; Lee of Delaware, Bedell of Obi Stevens of Pennsylvania, Whittle of Virgtai: and Vail of Kansas. Among the mor moderate class are Atkinson of Nortu Carolina, Kerfoot of Pittsburg, Littlejohn of Loug Islad, aud Beckwith of Geor- ia. As a bodv, the Bishops are disposed to be conservative, and it cannot be expected that their tinal action will give aid aund comfors 1o cither of the extreme factions, but the party- lines are drawn so tightly as to muke serious disputes iuevitable. — Tliere is great doubt whether they can be broughy to favor the crea- tion of Archibishoprics or any greater latitude to the ritualists: but they may favor the change of name. In their General Convention, held during the Rebellion, the Southern Bishops voted to style themselves. “The American Catholie Churel,” and it is understood that_they will now stand as a unit on_this _point. With the help they may cather from Northern prelatcs they may expect to be suceessful. e House of Clerical and Lay Deputics is ratlier a High Church body, so far as its clergy are concerned, but the laymen (who have an equal vote on all disputed questions) are decid- cdly conservative. Great, frewdom of debate is lowed there. and some exciting scenes are an- ipated at Boston. The Low Church party is bold and oppressive, and indisposed to allow the rituaiistic agitators any advant: Even the defection of the Reformed Episcopal element does not scem to have materially weakened them. Their great strencth lies in Virmmia, Kentucky, and_other Southern dioceses. In the former State Bishon Meade used frequently 1o confinn candidaies in a black _gown, and rarely wore the Episcopal robes. Mapy of the clersy there now use that service, and sometitcs preach and administer the' commuuion in black zown. ~ Yet these things may chanse. It is not many years since similar customs pre- yailed in some localitics not far from New York. The late Rev. Dr. Moore, of Richmond, oncs rregation of St. Luke's Ch ine church during th rvice, stepping over the chancel rails, 1 ing his umbrelia_and hat on the altar, and seitling himself down comfortably ina chair in- tended solely for a Bishop's use. The story told, too, of a clersyman who ofliciated by fnvi- tation in St. Paul’s “Church in this city, some years who wore his surplice up io the PR ving his black sown on his armi, wnd who astonished the conzregation by attempting to change his vestments behind the it, and becamesninextricably entangled that the services of one of tlie wardens were neces- sary to rizht him. Tu relation o the Low Charch party a curious lezend prevail In old times practices were Ioose enough, but “high and dey ? doctrines cd. “The cleray stuck stoutly to their apostolic successions, and would not fraternize ons. Finally, there rose cv. John Prentiss Kewley, Rector of St. Church inthis city, an carncst preach- erand devout man, who insisted on greater personal carnestucss and n, drew athers to his wav of thinking, and finaily founded the Low Church party. Al the zeuth of his fame heastounded both friends and foes by abandoning the communion of the Episcopal Chureh znd joining the Roman Cath- olic body. Tinally, he sailed for Europe, and then (so the legend runs) informed a_contiden- tial friend that he had been a Jesnit Father be- fore be took orders in the Episcopal Church, and that his mission had been to divide and di intezrate the Chureh of his temporary adoption. This is tne story as believed and quoted by the Hizh Church auihoritics to this day. In the last thirty s there has been o decided adyzoce in - Ritualism throuchout the scopal Churcl, even the Low Church cleray and laity not disdaining the use of crosscs, stained glass, and such architectural aids to devotion as the times suggest. The old-fash- ioned “three-decker ™ reading-desk. pulpit. and communion-table, that towered upon hizh at the chancel end of the church has disapoeared, and with it _the general use of the black gown. The surplice med its place as a priestly robe, aud a church without. it would be ararity. In this city the predominat- ing influence of Trinity Church, its chapels and , has done much to ad- s aud practices, and the Low-Church ¢lergy of the Diocese tind no repre- sentation in the standing committee, delegutes to the General Convention, aud other honorable positions, In this connection an effort is to be made at the approaching General Convention to secure minority: representation from such dio- ceses as are divided by party opinion. ial Dispuich to The Unigago Trivune.

Came Under His Observation, The event of last week was the visit to the Exposition on Friday of seme 3,000 people from South Bend, Ind., it being an excursion gotten up by the emploves of the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company of that city. The dis- play of that firm is the chief attraction in the southern portion of the Luilding,—indeed, it is eration to say it is undeniably the finest exhibit of carriages ever made in the West. Being the contribution of yIndiana,. the visitors had reason for their pride in the work of the Studebaker Bros., which they visibly and audibly showed, though it was but the confirmation of what they and nearly everybody clse kuew—that this “enterprising house have no superiors in the manutacture ol fine carriages, and will ot be undersold.

The fall open- ing at this firm’s regular establishwent. State amd Washington streets, was a distinguished social event of the week. There never was an Lxposition vet, national, State, inter-state, or county, at. which Belding Bros. & Co., the great Awmerican sewine-silk manufacturers, did not (whenever they tried) beat all competition, and ke away all the houors worth having.

But the superior of their silk is too well known to every needlewoman in the land and almost rbody else to need to_be more than men- tioned here. We merely desire to call attention to the beautiful arrarigement of spools and colors in the special exhibit of this firm at the present Exposition, & view of which is well worth a stroll to the southern portion of the great building.
