The Episcopal Church in the
United States

The Episcopal General Convention, which
meets in New York to-day, IS composed OF
two houscs, one the House of Bishops, and
the other the House Of Clerical aud Lay
Deputies, who are elected by the State or
Diocesan Church Conventions. These later
conventions meet annually, but the gent raj
convention only once in three years. BefCre
the American revolution, the clergy WHO
minstered in the Episcopal congregations
in the colonies, and who we're principally
sent ont by the societiey iu Europe for the
propagation of the gospel in foreign parts,
were under the superintendent of Il e
Bishop of London. The first step taken
after the revolution for the Independent
organization of the church IN the United
States was at meeting of a few of the
clergy Of New York, New Jersy and Penn
sylvania in 1884. The first general conveu-
tion assembled in 1855, in Philadelphia,
with delegates from seven Of the thirteen
States. Measures were taken at this con
ventiou for a revisal of the English prayer
book, to adapt it to the political changes
which had taken place; articles of union
were adopted and an ecclesiastical consi-
tuition framed, and steps taken for the OBJ
tanning OF, an episcopate direct from the
Church Of England. DR.. Seabury, OF Con.
necticut, the first American who received
the episcopate in that church, having been
unsuccessful in his application for conse-
Grafton 10 England, therefore resorted to
Scotland, where he received conSecratiOn

ecclesiastical difficulties which prevented
DR.. Seabnry's conservation in England hav-

the English Bishops, DR.. PROVOST, elected
Bishop Of New York, DR.. White, elected

Archbishop Of Can,erberv, and there being
now three bishops OF the English succession,
besides one o. the Scotch, the line of
American conservation opened in 1892 with
that Of DR.. ClaPgett, bishop elect Of Mary
land. From that time conservation Of
Bishops has proceeded as the wants of the
church have required, until now the church
in each of the princip, States has been
constituted diocese, some of the States
having two dioceses. At the meeting Of

purpose Baltimore Sun.

struggle between the workmeu and the

responding to the call, he did no. cease his

had been restored. He was appointed Gov

the cholera when it appeared there as an
epidemic, and for the measures which he
originated for the relief Of the sufferers
from the visitation, that the city awarded
him civic crown, and inscribed the ser

memorative tablet, while the Government
offered him the grand crosses of Isabella
and Of Charles H., and the title Of Count
of Tremp. He refused these hOnOrs, and
returning to the CorteS asa simple citizen,
he became recognized as the chief Of that
progressist party, and was elected Presi-
dent of the Chamber by an almost unani-
nous vote. In 1855 he was appointed Min
lister Of Finance, in which capacity he pro-
posed the law decreeing the immediate sale
of all the property belonging to the State
to charitable and educational establish
lishments, to parishes and the clergy. This
bold measure encountered great opposition,
especially from lne OnurCn, whose Ilgnt 10

carried in the Cortes, and being sanctioned,

sition. At the period Of the revolution of
July, 1856, he presided at the last sitting of
the Cortes, and was instrumental in getting
passed in that body vote of want Of con
fidence in the new Ministry formed by
O'Donnell. He also put himself at the head
of detachment of militia, and took an
active part in initiating operations against
the Government. On the defeat of the in
surgent forces, he managed to conceal him
self, and subsequently escaped to a foreign
land. On his return to Spain from his exile
he resumed his place as one of the leaders
Of the Liberal party. He differed with his
party, however, in 1868, when the Progress
sists and the Democrats decided to take no
part in the election of Chamber Of Depu-
ties, offering himself on that occasion as
candidate at Barcelona, which elected him
one of its Deputies.

The immediate cause of the outbreak
was personal difficulty between the edit

out Of an offensive article in that newspa
per. Bentley, the editor, who is also 4
school teacher, was cnned. The report wa,
immediately circulated among the negroe,
that Bentley was killed, and couriers were
dispatched to arouse the negroes on the
plantations. In an Incredibly short time
they were flocking into 0pelousas armed
and apparently beiDg fully organized fol
such occasions. Several bodies OF the ne.
groes met, hlt were dispersed by the ef
forts of sensible and moderate men of bott
colors, who acquainted them with the facts
regarding Bentley.
One body, however, of twenty-five OF
thirty negroes, led By a negro calling him
self captain, refuoed to disperse when ord.

were killed and four or Ave wounded. Five
or six whites were wounded, two Of them
very severely, and number Of horses be-

the party were cartured aud lodged in iail,

The orders given by the civil authorities
to disarm the negroes were effectually exe-
cuted, but with some difficulty, and the
arms OF the negroes are now in the hands
Of the hands Of the authorities Of Opelou-

During the excitement the material Of the
st. Landry Progress was scattered, and a
portion destroyed.
One white man was ambushed by three
negroes while riding along the road alone
aud riddled with balls. The negroes were
all caught and killed. Another white
planter is reported to have been shot while
sitting in his house.
The troubles existed only in the parish of
st. Landry, in q radius OF twenty miles from
Opelousas. The adjoining parishes are per
fectly quiet.
Lieut.. Lee reports that he could learn of
but two whites killed aud eight or ten
wounded; aud five negroes killed and fifteen
OF twenty wounded but he expresses the
opinion that the number Of casualties will
exceed this, as the negroes in some quar-
ters resisted the disarming, aud had TO bo
overpowered. Nooe of the white Radicals
suffered except b Dtley, and be only in the
loss of his printing material and tue Gaming
