This great body, representing the en-

mences its sessions in New York on
Wednesday of this week, 7th inst. 1t is
composed of q House of Bishops, OF
forty-three members, and House of
Clerical and Lay Delegates, from thirty
four dioceses four clerical and as many
lay from each, or two hundred and sew.
enty-two in all.
Among the latter are Horatio Seymour
and Hamilton Fish, of New York; B.
r. Curtis and Richard 81. Dana, jr., of
Massachusetts, and many others equally
eminent
Many most important questions will
come up for review and decision-among
others the momentous one Of the differ
ences between what are styled high and
low church, which have been made public
in the Tying and Hubbard cases, and
which have induced some of the latter
to move for a material change in the
ritual and cauons of the church to Justify
their line Of conduct. The high church
men are largely in the majority. If they
act at ALL it will be to prevent the seces-
sion of a valuable and influential, though
small, body Of clergy, and some of the
laity. -Erchdnge

allege that Louisiana has had four constitu-
tons in four years, forgetting that during four
years Louisiana has had no Constitution at all,
but has simply been trying to adopt one. The
protest shows that there are more Bourbons in
the Democratic party, who learn nothing and
forget nothing. than some of the irresponsible
free lancers who fight on the outskirts of the
main host are willing to admit. 1t foreshadows
that the Democratic platform will, as its main
feature, oppose the restoration of the
Union in this campaign as it did i'll
the last, and that the campaign will be
waged for continued anarchy at the
South We had hoped, but not expected, that
the party had learned more wisdom. If they
choose however, to write on their standards as
their rallying cry "The perpetual maintenance
of the dissolution of the Union" it will be
only too consistent with their career for seven
years past. 1t will roll up several hundred
thousand more votes for Grant and Colfax, and
perhaps those will be worth more than some
smart but hypocritical lodging of the real
issue by the Democratic politicians.

We do not know that The World will con-
slider the testimony thus induced even quasi
"sensible;n but it can hardly deny its rele-
vancy nor its suflciency, provided it does not
challenge the competency or the credibty OF
our witnesses.
Let us preclude possible cavil by still further
specification:
I. All men are equal When their natural
rights are affirmed and conceded.
g. They are thus equal in the eye of Eternal
Justice, which should be the basis of all hu-
man governments
g. They are equal not in stature, in beauty,
in strength, in wit, in knowledge, in fortune,
in virtue, in efficiency, but in their rights as
men.
A. may be White, learned, rich, powerful,
wise, virtuOus and eminent. while b. is Black,
ignorant weak, simple, yico"S aud insignlll-
cant; yet the law righ f,''y regards them
"with equal eye" and will Dring 4. into Court
and make him respond to BIS action for goods,
money or labor, alleged to have been fur
nished by him to A., and require the latter to
meet the affidavit and the testimony OF B. by
a counter-ailidayit and by counter-tcstimony, or
submit to a Judgment, which the law will
thereupon enforce precisely as though B. were
as White, learned, rich, powerful, wise, yir-
tuous and eminent, as A. This is "when,
"whore and how all men are equal.
In the department Of politics or sovereignty,
A.. because of his gifts of nature or fortune,
may influence twenty or thirty votes in favor
of the party he deems right; while b., lacking
those gifts, may influence no vote but his own.
That vote, however, is as sacredly his own.
and it is his right-if he be a law-abiding citi-
zen-to cast it in the direction dictated by his
Judgment, precisely as though he were equal
in cnpacfy and in fortune to a.
We trust that this short and easy lesson
in the rudimcnts of Democracy will not be
wholly lost on our arstocntc and indocilc,
Slow -witted contemporary. We have set forth
these elementary truths so frequently and so
plainly that we had fondly supposed them ere

The action Of Judge BlatchfOrd in the great
whisky fraud case of Sulzberger and others in the
United States District Court on Tuesday Is
open to a grave question. The defendants were
on trial for defrauding the Government of
taxes, and after the charge was delivered by
the Judge to the Jury the Assistant United
States District-Attomcy asked that the accused
who were on bail, be committed to the GUS
tody of the Marshal to await the verdict in
the case. This the Judge declined to do, and
a few hours afterward, when verdict of guilty
was rendered, all the defendants except one
were non est, and they may continue their
absence indefinitely, if they choose rather to for
felt their bail than come forward and abide by
the sentence of the Court.

TILE C4TTLE TR1DE.

A letter of the nth inst from the Superln-
tendent to the President of the Kansas Pacific
Railroad, casually says:
"The livestock trade opened brsky last week Ship
ments from Abilene have been about thirty carloads per
day. and ALL or nearly ALL have goneby way OF ST. Louis
over the Missouri Pacific Road. It's capacity Is over
taxed in moving the cattle and it is blocked up at
the State line unable to take the stock away as fast as
delivered The indications that this trade will be
heavy and continued"
This clearly points to the not distant day
when cattle must be slaughtered on or near the
prairies that fed them, and only their meat,
&C., brought to market, dropping their hides
by the way at the tanneries in the great hem
lock woods, and leaving their Ofial to fertillze
the soil whence it was drawn. Modern science
aud invention have shown how to bring us the
meat perfectly fresh and sweet-in fact, IN far
better condition than when the crowded, fever
ish, suffering animals are brought hither alive.
The cost of such transportation could be hardly
half that incurred by the present mode OF
transmission.
Abilene is that point on the Kansas Pacific
Road most accessible from the cattle growing
region of Texas. The new trade thus opened
promises great advantage to the herdsmen on
the one hand and to Eastern consumers on the
otlpr.

The Coroner's inquest held yesterday over
the bodies of the six victims of the recent
steam fire-engine explosion elected certain facts
that are startling. 1t seems that the safety
valve was broken, and the steam escaped. 1t
was at first held down by two men, and then
tied down with a strap. Collin Lightbody testihcs
that he saw the steam-gauge blow out,
carrying the glass face with it. He crossed
over and spoke to the engineer and said it
was wrong. The lower gauge was tried, and
dry steam issued, and Mr.. Lightbody crossed
the street, deeming it not safe to remain, and
soon after the boiler exploded. The testimony
clearly showed that Engine No. 0 was a
broken down, worthless affair.
