THE PLACE FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BISHOP ELECT
DR.. MAHAS, Of N. j., offered resolution that joint
committee of conference be appointed ascertain whether
any alteration could be made in the arrangement made by
the presiding bishop for the conservation Tomorrow
Mr. CONRAD of Va. sad as he understood the message
sent down from the presiding bishop, was peculiarly
within his discretion place for the conservation
lie presumed, therefore, that this not subject for
committee Of conference, and he would ask the gentleman
to form his resolution merely to ask the presiding
| bishop to reconsider his arrangement.
DR. F. j. CIERC of No. offered resolution to the effect
that committee Of three be appointed to express to the
right reverend bishops their disapprobation of the ar
rangement made and to suggest the proprey Of holding
the conservation in different churches Dr. c. said he had
understood that tho presiding bishop, by way merely Of
testing the of the House upon his view Of the ar
rangement took an informal vote on yesterday, and 1t
was probable that ne was " inc result OF that
this House. He thought that some such plan he pro.
| posed would be satisfactory.
Dr. W. T. D. DAIxEIL said il was essential part Of
the conservation service that the lords Supper should
be administered. He desired to know whether ade-
quate preparations could be made for this purpose at
| the place designated by the presiding bishop. He
trusted that all personal considerations in connection
with this matter would be laid asde and that the House
would act with due regard to the conservation service
alone lie would always bow to the authority of his right
reverend fathers; but his information in respect to the
place designated for the conservation led him the concu
sion that the services could not be conducted there in
manner becoming so solemn an occasion He hoped that
presiding bishop would be induced to reconsider his ac
ton, to afford opportunity OF doing He would con-
any for causing the to be held
in church, for could form conception OF the cha
racter of the congregation which would be likely TO as
scmbe around the scene il the square is chosen.
DR.. MEAD, Of Conn, said that while he had q high re-
spectfor the action Of the House o Bishops he held thew
