THE GYPSIES.

Excepting the Jews, no people has ey-
er shown such tenacity Of race as the gyp-
sizes. A lIindoo tribe Of Aryan race or
ignally, perhaps OF nomadic and plunder-
ing habits in their provinces on the Indus,
and forced out into Europe and Asia in
tho early part Of the fifteenth century,
they have eucamped aud settled in al
most very country Of Europe, without
scarcely ever changing the pure current
OF their Hindoo blood. Whether in the
mountain villages Of Norway, or on the
puztas of Hungary, or in rural England,
or, among the wild mountains Of Spain
whether under the burning heat Of Africa,
or on the plateaus of Asia, in Egypt, Per
sis or India, the gypsy is substantially the

The Episcopal Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, October 24.-The General
Convention of the Episcopal Church reas-
sembled to-day.
The Committee on Canons reported that
it was inexpedient to change the title of the
Synod. The Committee was then discharged
from further consideration of the subject.
The Committee on Provisional System,
proposed by the conventions of New York
and Pennsylvania and by several members
of this house, reported as follows:
The Committee is not prepared to recon-
mend the adoption of any titles by Bishops,
and the comforting upon them of any new
order affecting the purity of the EpiscOpate
as it now exists, and submit the following
proposed canon:
1t is hereby declared to be lawful for the
dioceses now existing or hereafter to exist
within the limits of any State or common
wealth, to establish for themselves a feder-
ate convention or council representing such
dioceses, which may deliberate and decide
upon the common interests of the church
within that State, and exercise any dele
gated powers not inconsistent with the con-
stitution and canOns of this church.
A message was read from the House of
Bishops announcing that an evening session
would be held tonight, and soon thereafter
they would meet the members of the Lower
House for the closing services of the Con-
yentiOn.
A Committee of Conference was appointed
on standard prsyer-books, to sit during the
recess.

PROTECTION II THE NATIONAL
POLICY.
A Letter from George L. Stearns, Esq,
of Boston.

BOsTON, MASS, Sept, 1864.
DEAR SIR:-Your circular is at hand.
For many years interested in the question
to which you have called my attention,
am now convinced that the " Protection of
American Industry" is necessary, not
only for the full development of our own
labor, but that of labor everywhere,
throughout the world; therefore 1 wish to
see the utmost diversity of pursuits in the
country, as they are now diversified in
my own State. want to see manufaeto-
ries springing up at the West and South.
as well as in the East. The most widely
diversified trade-Free Trade-with ali
parts of the United States is possible, for
we have all material and production wait
ing for the hand to give it life and value.
Free Trade with Europe and Asia means
crushing our labor to the level of theirs.
That we shall not do. We may try the
experiment again, if the nation has not
learned wisdom from the past, but only to
recoil from it, as We have previously many
times. In l840 Richmond planter said
to me, l make corn; when the northern
manufacturers are at work get a high
price for my corn when. they are idle /
get a low price / 90 for a protective
tariff His experience will be ours if we
again try free trade, for our home market
Is certain, our foreign market uncertain
for all our products except gold, cotton
and tobrooo- Europe will take our cotton
and tobacco, and if we will let her manu-
facture for US, she will take our gold also
until the rise in the price of gold makes a
low tariff protective. With tariff that
enables us to retain all the gold we pro-
duce IN the country, our prosperity is Sc
cure, and our finances sound. am in IA
vor of building up the labor of our own
country first, and letting other countries
follow our example.
Truly your friend,
GEORGE L. STEARSs.

Washington News.

New York, October 24-The Herald's
Washington special says that many persons
look upon the issue of gold certificates by
the Treasury Department as a scheme TO
pay the interest on Five -Twenties and Skies
of 1881, in paper. The goldbacks are sim
ply certificates to be exchanged for gold,
dollar for dollar. They are intended to re-
lieve importers and others, who have been
required to handle hundreds of pounds of
coin monthly, from great portion OF risk
and trouble.
The larger denominations of notes will
be made payable to the order of gold depos-
itOrs, and will be exquisitely engraved after
designs by Darley, thus defying alike the
counterfeiter and the thief. They will re
ceive the signatures of the Treasurer and
Register here and will be countersigned by
the sub-Treasurer Van Dyck at New York.
Rebel congressman.
WASHINGTON, October 24-M. Mcpherson,
Clerk of the House of Representatives, says
that he will not put on the list Of members
the names of any persons claiming to be
elected from the States that have been in re-
bellion. To do as he says would be decid-
ing one of the most important questions be-
fore Congress. To let in eighty Southern
eFs at the outset to vote on the subject of
their own recognition would put an end to
the controversy in their favor at once.

him nromise not to resume his business
until the war wGs over.
Although the circumstance of years eX-
cluded him from the performance Of mill

the soldier on the battlefield carried sus-

Tbe EpiscoDaI Convention.

We publish elsewhere in this issue of the
LEADER accommodation from "a Church
man" inclosing the remarks of DR.. Kerfool,
explanatory of the action of the Episcopal
Convention on Mr.. Binney's resolutions.
The assertion of "a Churchman" that the
LEADER had argued that the tabling of
Mr.. Binney's resolutions by that body was
the result of disloyalty, is. incorrect. The
LEADER, while condeming the action of
the convention, undertook no speculation
upon its causes. These, however, are, as
"a Churchman" remarks, presented in a
proper light by DIR. Kerfool, and, accord
ing to his authority, were simply mean
and abject servility to Southern task-mas-
tiers. Thanksgiving for the restoration of
the Union and the destruction of slavery
would forthwith occasion ''the removal
from among us of the Representatives of
some dioceses, now again with u.s." In
other words, the expression of Joy which
every patriot feels awed amid the lofty
sensibilities of some Southern rebels, and
must therefore berepressed. DR.. Kerfoops
explanation is a correct one, but we hardly
think that it helps his cause.

probably filed with contempt for those
who rendered it.

small boy in the entry stuck up to the
