preston Of opinion in favor Of the proposed
federation of dioceses, which the Convention at

is to have sufficient weight in the approaching

Low Churchmen made an earnest effort to de-
feat the report OF the committee, and when it
became evident that they were in the minority,
they next endeayored to so amend as to deprive

experienced signal defeat. The movement is
most momentous one, in its present results

branch of the Anglican Communion. Though
the Evangelical party may see in it another
grasping Of power on the part Of high church
men, yet the great body Of the church, unin-
fuenced by either extremes, We dare say, will
welcome it as an evidence of new and fresh en-

Under this head the New York Independent
whose articles are not written for Democrats
but for Republicans, not for the weak or waver'
ing, but for those who are fixed in the faith o1
those who believe in the gospel according to
Sumner and Stevens, thus discourses. We
may judge from this what are the expectations
of the Republicans, and the grounds of them
AS the canvass proceeds, it becomes more
| and more manif st that considerable body
of voters who were not altogether satisfied
with the action of the Republican party, aad
who. If the Democrats had nominated
thoroughly loyal man, would have been IN
clined to give him their support, will now be
constrained to vote for Grant through their
hostility to the revolutionary designs avowed
| in the Democratic platform, and proclaimed IN
| the utterances OF Blair, Wade Hampton, and
other champions of that party. They see
| clearly that to elect Seymour and Blair would
be to throw away much of what was galned by
the suppression OF the rebellion, and to incur
the hazard of another war, and therefore they
will vote for Grant and peace. Ii the result OF
the October elections in Pennsylvania ind the
other States above named does not dlsappolnt
us, we shall almost certainly carry New York
in November, and need not despair even OF
New Jersey. We cannot win, however, with
cut work. During the next forty days every
man who loves liberty and would save his
country from untold calamities must do his ut
most to enlighten his neighbors, and to bring
every Republican voter to the polls. This
work. we maintain, is, in the highest serse,
reli9ious duty, from which no Christian man
can be excused. He who is lukewarm III q con-
test involving interests of such Importance is
wanting no less in fidelity as Christian than
as citizen.
TIE POSITION OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
The New York Sun says:
It has been stated in some of the Western
papers that Chief Justice Chase had commit
ted himself to the support Of Grant and Col
fax. We bave reason for thinking that this
statement is incorrect.
The learned Chief Justice has been engaged
during the whole summer and fall attending
to his onerous judicial duties. No one is
authorized to say that he will vote for either
candidate for President.
Ho could only vote in Cincinnati, and it is
not certain that he Will be there at the time OF
the election.

FIGHT BETWEEN THE WHITES AND NEGROES
TIE NEGROES DISPERSED AND D1sARMED-
THE LEADER AND FOUR OTHER NEGROES
KILLED, AND THIRTY wouHDED-Two WHITES
KILLED AND TEN WOUNDED.
NEW ORLEANS, October 7.-Lieutenant Lee,
of the Freedmen's Bureau, who was sent by
Major Hutchings, in charge of the Bureau
here, to investigate the troubles at cpelousas,
made his report this morning. he says that
the immediate cause of the outbreak was a
personal difficulty between the editor of the
st. Landry Progress, q Republican paper, and
three citizens, growing out Of offensive articles
in the paper. Bentley, the editor, who
is also school teacher, was caned. The
report was Immediately circulated among
the negroes that Bentley was killed, and cou-
riers were dispatched to arouse the negroes on
the plantations, and in an incredibly short time
they were Aockng, fully armed, to Opelousas,
apparently thoroughly organized and prepared
for such occasions. Several bodies OF negroes
we're met and dispersed by the efforts of seve-
raj moderate men, both whites and negroes,
who acquainted them with the facts concern
ing Bentley. One body, however, Of twenty
five or thirty, led by negro, who called him
self captain, refused to disperse when ordered.
A fight ensued in which two negroes were kill
ed and four or five wounded. and five mr. s;=
whites wounded, two very Severely, anu q nun
ber OF horses belonging to the whites Kill
ed The negro calling himself captain
was one Of the killed. Eight OF the
party we're captured and lodged in jail
and the balance dispersed. Orders CIV
en- by the civil authorities for disarmlng tue
negroes we're executed with some difficulty out
effectuaIly, and the arms are now in the hands
of the civil authorities. Opelousas Parish Is
perfectly quiet.
Dnring the excitement, the material OF the
st. Landry Progress was scattered and a part
Fit DESTROYED. One white man was ambushed
while riding along the road alone, and riddled
with balls, by three negroes, all OF whom were
afterwards captured and killed. Another white
planter is reported to have been shot while SIT
ting in his house. The troubles existed only
in St. Landry and in Roddins, twenty miles
from Opelousas. The adjoining parishes were
perfectly quiet. Lieut.. Lee reports that ne could
learn of but two whites killed and eight or ten
wounded, and five negroes killed and fifteen or
twenty wounded; bat he expresses the opinion
that the number OF casualties exceeds this, as
the negroes in some quarters resisted the dls-
arming and had to be overpowered. None or
the white Radicals suffered except Bentley, and
he Only in the loss of the printing material and
in the Gaming which he received. Lieutenant
Lee reports that quiet was restored and that
everybody was pursuing ordinary avocations.
No further trouble was apprehended, as the
white inhabitants of the parish outnumser the
blacks. Armed mounted patrols, however,
we're being still kept up.
