House of Representatives. DEBATE ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION CASE. Immediately after the readingof the journal the House resumed the consideration of the Mackey-Dibble contested election case, and Mr. Atherton,a member of the committee on elections, Presented the views of the minority upon the case, premising his remarks with a denial of the state- ment that the democratic side was afraid to enter inte its discussion. He sre for nearly two hours, confini ng himself principally to an earnest Giscussion of the allegations of fraud and forgery in the testimony before the committee on elec- tions. He was frequently interrupted by republi- can members of that committee, and a deal of confusion ensued; but the debate was through- out conducted in perfect good temper, and the manner 1p which Mr. Atherton presented the points upon which the minority relied, elicited ‘several rounds of applauds from his party associ- ates, Mr. Ranney, a member of the committee on elec- tions, spoke in support of the majority report characterizing as a subterfuge the allegation o} forgery in the testimony. If he believed in that allegation he would not sacrifice his honor and manhood! by attempting to smother its investiga- lon. THE FEELING ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE ofthe House, touching the recent ruling of the Speaker on the amendment to the rules, is still one of great indignation. Many democrats declare that from henceforward they will not permit any busin ‘be transacted by unanimous consent or out of the regular order. Also, that the repnb- licans must maintain a quorum of their own mem- bers present, or be responsible for a prolongation of the session, 4 ‘The District in Congress. THE BILL TO INCKEASE THE WATER SUPPLY of the District 1s in really a precarious condition, and, unless on Monday next Speaker Keifer will Tecognize some member of the District committee to move to suspend the rules and assign a day for its consideration, the bill cannot be passed at this session. It is almost a hopeless wish that the ‘House will allow the bill to_be called up by unani- mous consent, hence the only way to give it status with the House to insure action upon it 1s to assign ita day. On Monday next Mr. Urner, of the Dis- trict. committee, will endeavor to have the House fix a day for the consideration of District business. This he can only do by the ition of the Speaker. {tis believed if the epee ker will recog- nize him that there are enough members of the House who realize the importance of the water Dill to vote to suspend the rules and fix a day upon which it can be taken up.

An event of great interest among Episcopalians ‘was the assembling to-day of the diocesan conven- tion of Maryland at Epiphany church. It ts the ninety-ninth annual convention and meets in this city for the first time in a number of years, The general interest in the convention was evinced by the large representation of the laity that attended ‘the opening services. The convention was opened at 10 o'clock a.m. with divine services and a ser- mon. The services were conducted by the Right Rev. William Pinkney, bishop of the diocese, assisted by Rev. Mr. Lewin, the dean of Washing- ton; Rev. Mr, Rich, the dean of Baltimore; Rev. Mr, Stevenson, the dean of Cumberland; Rev. Mr. dean of Ridout, the is; Rev. Mr. Arm- stro ng, Of the church of Ireland, and Rev. Dr. THE SERMON was delivered by Rev. Mr. Mott, who selected for the basts of his remarks the wonds as recorded in the Sth chapter of 24 Corinthians, and 7th verse, “He walked by faith, and not by sight,” and also ‘the 2th verse of the 490 Boclostactie The rev- erend gentleman said that he had selected these yerses.as they were supplementary utterances The one shows that fal “Ne instrument of Christian life and the othe ‘ws how it is so. ‘The aim of the discourse, the ....aker sald, was to endeavor to what faltu was in its distinc- tive nature, how it led with all the lans and purposes of life and then how It applied to Christian life, The great characteristic of faith, the preacher went on to say, Was that It accepted the unintelligible without r to the logical principles. | And at the first ‘of all was the belle! 10 a personal God. Faith In God consists ina vivid of his per. sonal presence and his omnipresence. These two thoughts can not be ynited by any logical process. ‘The belief in the all pervading presence of God leads to Pantheism or idolatory in minds that Yaguely grasp it. ‘The real presence of God is a bellef common to all persons in earnest. Faith ts nota mere abstraction to thinkers in the theo- logical world, but itis a vital entity. It 1s not a cause of dismay that the unintelligible is not solu- ble by syllogism and sorites. It is the belief that it 1s impossible. The rashness of these great principles if followed to their logical consequences Would lead to absurdity, and to various forms of infidelity and spiritual death. Upon the conclusion of the sermon, the sacra- ment of the Lord’s supper was administered by Bishop Pinkney. THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER. Upon the conclusion of the services anf the completion of the arrangements the convention was called to order by Bishop Pinkney. There was a large attendance, comprising about 100 clerical and as many lay delegates, and forming as fine an assemblage in appearance as has ever assembled in this city.
