Religious Row in Newark, NJ
J.-High Church VS.. Low
Church.
From the New York Sun, June 2

Bishop Odenheimer, In the New Jer-
sey Convention, in Newark, yesterday,
closed his address by proposing a new
canon, that in elections each voter can
cast as many ballots as there are candi
dates, and can cast them for one person,
or divide them, thus securing the repre-
sentati0n of miporities. a somewhat
heated debate ensued between the High
and Low Church, the former heretofore
having had packed conventions, which
gave them the control, while the latter
has contributed the funds for church sup
port
In the controversy, the Rev. DR.. Meier
Smith of Trinity Church, Newark, became
much excited. taking strong grounds
against the High Church wing The Hon.
CoFtlandt Parker, of Newark, warmed
up with the subject, and at times was elo-
quent. He said that during the last year
the High Church, who control the Church,
had contributed some $4,000 while the
Low Church party, out ofpower, had con-
tributed about $4,000.
The Rev. DR.. Hodges, of Grace Church
Newark, High Church, in reply to Mr..
Parker, who was very excited, and said
that no bid could buy his vote. DR.,
Hodges contendel that there was no or.
ganization of the High Church party, and
there was no concerted action on their
part.
Mr.. Savage, Low Church, If Railway.
replied that at conventions High Church
ballots were printed and voted on by the
friends of ritualism, and that he suppo-
sed the printing presses ran themselves
and printed the ballots. 1t was freely
stated by the moneyed men of the
Church that unless the minority was re-
spected contributions wound hereafter be
withheld.
Bishop Odenheimer stiied the storm,
and it was decided that the minority
should be represented.

Wendell PhilIips-A Financial
Wedding,

An eastern correspondent of the Chi

cident in the life of the noted Anti-Sla-
very orator Wendell Phillips.
How uncertain lite is Persons who
are always dying often live to ripe old
age, while those apparently in perfect
Bile instance of this, as l have heard was
the marriage Of Wendell Phillips. The
lady who is now his wife, was from her
earliest years an ardent advocate of the
anti-slavery cause. Having fortune in
her own right, and being confirmed in
valid, she thought of devoting it to the
purpose of emancipations but knowing
how money left in this way is likely to be
wasted, she deemed it best to transfer it
to an individual in whom she had entire
faith. She mad been tor sometime a sim
cere admirer of the distinguished orator,
and had reason to believe that he had an
affection Tor her Thinking her end was
drawing nigh she sent tor Phillips, and
after unfolding her plan, told him the
best thing to do under the circumstances
was for them to be married that he
would then have right to her property
and could devote it to the cause they
both SO earnestly loved He was much
touched by her candor and generosity
and in few days they were married
That was twenty years ago, and Mrs
Phillips, though very delicate, is still liv,
ing, and bids fair to live for years to come
The pair are devotedly attached to each
other, and what seems to have been
merely business affair, he's produced all
the happiness Of the most romantic and
poetic marriages. He was wealthy be
fore his union, and since then his own
and his wife's means have been literally
expended in the cause of humanity and
freedom
Apart from his remarkable genius
Phillips. is one of The purest and truest OF
men, living and acting up 30 the ideal
standard more thoroughly perhaps, thar
any other citizen of America.

Who Discovered America.


The Cologne Gazette says that a Califnr-
MAN savant named Hanlay has created a
great agitation in San Francisco, by
pointing out, in recent work, that there
were Chinese in the country thousand
years before the Spaniards. Several Ger
man papers thereupon remarked that as
long as five-and-twenty years ago Profes-
sor Neumann, of Munich, produced proofs
from Chinese sources Of the discovery of
America by that people. Earlier still.
Desguignes affirmed that Chinese books
spoke of "A land in the East which can
have been no other than America. Neu.
mann even brings to light an account OF
the travels of Chinese monk and mis-
sion to the realm of Fusang. That Flu
sang must mean Mexico is evident from
the details given by the monk respecting
the geographical position and products of
the country Among these ne mentions
tr of which the shoots were eaten, the
bark made into cloth and paper. and the
sap into an Intoxicating drink This is the
Maguey, or great Chinese aloe, which is
still used for these purposes. This mon K
went to Mexico in A. d. 499, according
to our reckoning, but not rs the first
missionary. for five monks were sent
there to spread the doctrine of Buddah, in
458. What Mr. Hanlay further says re-
specting the similarity of certain customs
amsng the Aztecs and Chinese, and the
working of Buddhism upon the religion
of the former, was also previously known
The list, however, is new which he gives
of cognatc Aztec ard Chinese words.
