Eishop ia the compromise with tyreHln- I
H-, - Esq ennccrnin- The Chicago pro /
perry heretofore intended lor "a bishops /
church and residence, h.r,by expresses It's |
s:stisfaction with the dee arilton made hy the
Bishop in his address TO this Convention and /!
his subsequent statement, that lac holds the !
same in trust, aud net for any private use |
The vote stood: Clergy, ayes 10: noes,
Is Laity, ayes, II; noes, H. Divided, |
! parish Of the - clerical votes cast IN
favor IF LEAKING the $1,000 solclysln the
Bishops ia:.rtds-;ls that l. the unas oilahic
infercncc-S were By mis- sinnarics of the
Bishop, another was by the Bishops chap
lain, and still another "by Clergyman
who Immediately after adjournment ex
pressed his deep regret for having voted as
he lid, and acknowledged it was from fear
Of the yn,lictirc spirit Of the Bishop, and
IL mistaken view of what tended to pro
mote the best interests OF the church ia
Welding to the t;lliacious argument that 1t
was better the pcc,iniary interests oi lay
man should suffer than that the dchnqucn-
ces Of Bishop should bc brought before
the public.
It is further stated that after the adjourn
mcnt Of the convention, every clergyman
who voted against the Bishops majority
would be compelled TO ''signa rctr;bctlon or
leave tho diocese" /. Two complied with
the former alternative, signing their names
to paper prepared for that purpose by
Bishop Whitehousc; O dozen or more were
compelled to leave the diocese OF left Of
their own accord, among them Rev. Messrs.
J. o. Barton, w. NJ. A. Broadnax, VIM.
Fulton, j. s. 3. Hodges, James Pratt, W.
T. Smithell, c. B. Stout, E. B. Tuttle, j.
M. Waite, H. N. Bishop, W. II. Cooper,
and S. +. Carpenter Several Of these
gentlemen have since died the greater
number are Episcopal clerymen in good
standing, having charge of churches in 9th
er Iocesses: Dr. Stout is with Bishop Lee,
Of Iowa, and DR.. Cooper has recently in
augurtcd the foundation Of the Independ-
! ent Emanuel Church in Chicago. The
advancement to the Episcopatc Of Dr.
! Ciarkson, another of the minority--stnd
his election was bitterly opposed by Bishop
/ Whitchousc, bat accomplished By thc lnani-
/ nous vote Of the other bishops-has lett
7 Mr. Cheney the sole survivor Of the con
/ ,icnncd minority III the dioccss. lie ncl-
/ Their rctracted nor retired: bat has remained
with his parish at thcr unanimous request,
constantly sustained by their unanimous
conviction that his vote in Quincy WAS Il
. matter Of conscience with him, despite It's
/ opposition to the Bishop. The animus Of
the Whi5chcuse-t hency persecution IS now
sttthcientl, obvious.
/ in the Quincy Convention, DR.. Hodges,
now in charge Of st. Paul Church, Baitl-
more, explained his vote against the Bishop
in the matter of the $4,000 involved be
tween him and Mr.. Beers, aud the nlannGi
Of the explanation was 50 much Ike 20
seathing rebuke to the Bishop that 1t vii
never be forgotten by those who heard It.
Another case revived in connection viii
the intimatcd attempt toIsarll the Bishop
iInucachment is that of The liager tri;l Il
Joliet Before tie trial tho Bishop &c
clarcd that Mr.. liager was guilty, and tina
he should be convicted, and during It pro
gress he csa;wcd 70 sit as assessor or .luID
US well as Judge, thus increasing the mum
