The nominations were confirmed by the
House.
The hour of 12 having arrived, DIR. Stevens
called for the order of the day, namely-the
report of the Committee on Domestic and
Foreign Missions recommending the appoint
ment OF two Missionary Bishops. 1t was con-
tended that the proposed amendment to Ar
tlcle VI. had precedence, and the President so
ruled 1t was, therefore, taken up.
motion TO take the vote at O'Clock was
carried.
A delegate moved to lay the whole subject
on the table Rejected.
The proposed amendment was then read as
follows:
by the General Convention. The Court appointed
Tor tiat purpose shall be composed of Bishops on
tiers and Deacens may be instituted by Convention
OF the Diocese, but the General Convention may
Court Of NAppsfs ais for tie Of the
nounce sentence of admonltlon suspension, or de-
gradatoq th from the ministry on any elersyman
question Of fact WV '''''
The Votew was taken by Dioceses and resulted
in the rejection of the proposition by a large
majority-very few voting in the Affirmative.
A delegate asked leave 10 offer q resolution
for holding night sessions on and after Tnes-
day next. Its introduction was permitted.
and at the request of the mover, IL was laid on
the table for the present.
Al this stage OF the proceedings, Dr. Mimi
gerode, of Va, arose and said he had learned,
that while he was not in his seat this morning
some reference had been made TO the circula-
ton OF an Objectionable pamphlet among the
members of this House, and that an imputa-
ton had been cast upon him in connection
Herewith. He desired it unders TODD that
nothing had been circulated here by his au-
thority, except papers talning the proceed
ings OF the Convention, the expense of which
he would have to bear, unless his brother
ciergymen in the city saw fit to contribute
lie had done all he could do for the comfort OF
members of the Conven ton, and if he were to
be eensured for the circulation OF documents
here, he would have 10 ask for special COM
mit1ee TO take that matter in charge.
The President made some explanation of his
remark in the morning.an others compliment
ed DR. Mlnnigerode on his various courteSles.
DR.. Hawks was about to offer a series OF reso-
lutions on the subject, when DR.. Minnigerode
said he thought il unnecessary; he was salts
fled that every one acquitted him OF blame.
The House then proceeded to the considera-
ton of the second order of the day, namely
the following resolution reported by the COM
mittee on Domestic and Foreign Missions:
Res0tced. the House of Bishops concurrlng, That
1t is eSpedlent to appoint, st THIS time two Mis-
DtSuOpx-O0e lOf tHo ANOttuHeSt anu one
for the Southwest.
Eloquent addresses were made by DIR. Ste
yens, Rev. Mr.. Hill of Cal, DIR. Hawks, DIR.
Van Ingen of Minnesota, DIR. Coke of Md,
and Dr. Cunning of Mich. The House seemed
more deeply interested in this subject than in
any which has yet been before the Conyen-
ton. During the delivery of the remarks,
every member listened with eager attention,
and an unusual silence prevailed in the con-
gregation. The importance OF sending pio-
neers into the new territories of our country,
TO establish the Church where its teachings
are yet unknown, was duly appreciated by the
House, and most strenuously urged by the
speakers.
When the question was put on the adoption
of the report, every delegate voted "aye,"
showing that the sentiment in its favor was
unanimous.
Immediately thereafter, the members arose
and sang Gloria in EreslSis, commencing
'.Glory be to God on high,
And on earth peace, good will to men,
This spontaneous outpouring of Joy was
followed by prayer, the President officiating.
1t was truly solemn period, and the specta-
Gle was 4 remarkable one even for a religious
body. 1t having been suggested that the in
huences then prevailing should not be dis
turbed by the introduction of other business,
the President at once announced that the
House was adjourned until Saturday morning.
