@ oHIcAoo, July 20th, 1869.
IL Is the dull season here, and unusually
dull for Chicago. In the early part OF The
season, there was promise OF very large
trade, and merchants laid in pretty large
stocks. But their anticipations have not
been fully realized. A few large houses have
done an Increased business, and while the
aggregate business may DO equal to last
years, tho majority OF dealers have too many
goods on hand for the season. Still all are
anticipating large
FALL TRADE,
and are making ample preparations for it.
There has boen a foverish state Of anxiety in
tracted and almost incessant rains for the
whole season, until recently, have caused
many forobodlngs as TO the future. But the
past Two weeks have, in great measure, dis.
PEELED tho fear OF failure OF
THE CROPS.
And il We have reasonable amount of fair
weather from this time forward, there will bo
larger and better aggregate har vest
throughout the Northwest than ever before,
OF course there will be failures in some local
tiles, but take the country at largo tho pros
pect of an abundant harvest was never more
promising.
AMUsEMENTS
Are Just now as dull as trade. The Opera
House is closed. Duprez Il Benedict's Min
strels are at McVickeTs; Emerson & Man
ning's Mnstrels at the Dearborn, and new
local drama, "Iho Workingmen of Chicago .
ia to bo brought out this week at tho Museum.
Then wo arc TO have circuses this week and
next. But the greatest exhibition here is an
Ecclesiastical one, in tho
TRIAL OF REV. CHARLES Il. CHENEY.
By an Ecclesiastical Court selected by
Bishop Whitehouse, for the crime OF omi ting
the word regenerate, or regonerated in the
tho Protestant idea that it is but symbol of
regeneration, while the Bishop holds the
Romish notion that the person is regcneTated
in baptism. On tho third day of tho trial
the 23d inst Tho proceedings were abruptly
suspended by an Injunction from Judge Jam
ieson, of tho Superior Court, on tho ground
that tho ecclesiastical inquisitions We're not
proceeding according to the canOns OF the
church. Tho Bishop, under protest, Ia
Pic Nno, postponed tho trial till Thursday,
the 20lh. Mr.. Cheney has been rector of
y
his minstrations 1t has increased from seven
communicates to over threo hundred, the
Sunday School from thirty to nearly seven
hundred scholars tho usual congregation
from fifty TO seven hundred, and the church
property from 81 900 to $1G0, 200. In tho days
of the Spanish inquisition, when tho church
had power to enforce its edicts, it was re-
speoted az we'll az feared. But in tho year of
Grace, 1869, very little of either !oar or re-
| ,..... = a..
a council. or course, Mr., Cheney will be
convicted of disbelioying in baptiamal rcgon-
Grafton, for the court has been convened for
that especial purpose, but whether he will
meckly submit his conscience to the ruling
of the Bishop, or whether his case il to be
the beginning Of secession from the Angli-
can Church and tho formation of q new one,
remains to be seen. The sympathes Of ali
liberal.minded men, Of all denominations, are
with Mr. Cheney.
