ECCLEsIAsTICAL.
Notable Action of the Illinois EPIs
cOpaI Convention.

cOpaI Convention.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The Illinois Epis.
copal Convention at its session yesterday
evening passed the following additional
section to their constitution by vote of
As TO IA:
''No clergyman shall resort to civil
court or tribunal for the purpose of ar
resting or avoiding any ecclesiastical pro-
ceedings against him. The penalty for
any violation of this article shall be sus-
pension, ipso factc, from the functions of
the ministry"
L. was contended by number of cler-
gymen that the article was special legisS
latiop; that it was introduced when the
Convention was very hostile to certain
person; that it looked like the dogmas of
the Roman Church, and that it was cruel,
unchIistlan and unbrotherly.
Bishop WhitehOuss defended the article
at considerable length. He said there
was struggle coming between the State
and personal religion much more severe
than had yet been witnessed in the church.
There were offenses which required i'm
mediate action. A trial took many
months. A clergyman might be pre-
sented for some fsgrant immortality and
appeal to the civil courts, during the
pendency of which proceedings the church
would be powerless to arrest any further
flagia1t degradation of the church in the
person of The offending minister. The
appeal to the civil courts was an ofense.
The civil law had decided it an offense.

GROESBECK.

At Democratic meeting at Steuben-

speech. After slluding to the ante bel
lum times, when, walking in the foot
steps of the Revolutionary fathers, gov
eminent was no burden and taxation fell
as lightly upon cur homes SIS the gentle
snow, he stated that recent amendments
were the declaration of the results of the
war, like treaty of peace between bel
. ligercnt nations. The fraudulent manner
in which the latter amendments were
caui,d d, could not be investigated by the
Supreme Court just as Congressional
bribery could not be inquired into by tba:
court to invalidate Congressional enact
men's. The slave class was source of
danger before the wal, and class of dis
irsnchised freedmen could only breed

granted cannot be revoked. Suffrage that

Chancellor A. 8. Marks is master of the
Situation. He is emphsticslly q work

known to our Chance Court. When he

roman" mouth, and batting with
vengeance his bright black eyes, an

cases must be tried or continued when
called, at the costs of the party continu-

that have encountered the docket for more
than q decade of years will go off this
term, and the old, faded, Dusty pap Is be
laid aside among the archives of the
court.
OLD LAWYERS va YOUNG LAWYERS
We sl inclined to commend Judge
Marks specially for one rule, which he
has adOp ed. When the complainant,
upon demurrer, asks leave to amend his
bill, the general rule is to make him pay
he costs of the amendment. A case
came up last Sturdy where young
lawyer asked ieayetO amend. OF course,
the opposing counsel, an old lawyer,
suggested the enforcement of the rule,
when the "piteous Judge" stated the
'srule would be enforced against the old,
but not the young lawyers. The reason
of the exception is very plain, mistakes
on the part of the old men are apt to re-
suit from csrelessness, or ignorance;
either of which is inexcusable, while TIE
inexperienced young men is liable to
overlook, and even after the exercise of
the utmost care and diligence, leave out
something important And the right to
amend without cost becomes his s'sayiDg
clause" The efore we are inclined 10
accord special honor to Judge Marks for
the justice and iberality that prompted
him TO make this generous exception 70
the enforcement of the rigid rule. 10
this, as in many other respects, we
heatily yTecommend him to be well worthy
of imitation by the Judiciary of Tennes-
see. A little indulgence to the young
lawyers from the judiciary, ltue hgn'

Bccsming Alarmed at Prussta's
Prominence,

Becoming Alarmed at Prussia's
Prominence,
New YORK, Sept. 13.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette of Aug. IL says: There seems
to be something wrong about the relas
tions between the Russian Court and that
of Berlin. A most evident sign of COOL
ness toward Prussia is the temperance of
anti-Prussian articles in the Russian
press.
Last December the Chief Censor
announced to the editors of all the
Russian papers, that it was the will of
the Gear that all attacks on Prussia
should cease. The order was faithfully
obeyed, and even some journals, which
had formerly been declared iversaries of
Prussia, went so far as to publish articles
setting forth the advantage of Russo
Prussisn alliance.
Directly the Gar returned from his
German tour, all was changed. The
Golos, which is known to be inspired by
Gen. Milutyn, Minister of War, openly
declares in its number of the Sd inst,
that the policy of Prussia has been dan
gerous to the very existence of the Rus
sian empire for the last ten years. Is it
not time to form league for mutual Sc
curity against such machinationsl

the remainder, and steps have been
taken to sell it and turn the pr oceeds
