The republicans victory in the District

The October elections in the larger
States have been looked forward 20 with
great interest, sS indicative OF the result
in November Had Grant lost ill three.
his case would not have been hopeless,
tho the loss Of either to Greeley would
be fatal, The elections have been hard
fought ones by both side., aud the result
is conclusive.
The republican majority in Peucsylva-
nia surprises The republicans themselves.
Their canvass indicated . majority of
twelve thousand, Philadelphia being c1-
pecied to give that majority while the
balance of the State was expected 10 he
about equally divided. But IS in every
other election that has preceded. the re-
publicGns have done better than they ex-
psctsd. Philadelphia has given 2Q,0o0
republican majority, and the balance Of
the State from 10. 900 TO 1900 majority.
The republican gains are uniform, and
about az large in democratic as in re-
publican s,rongholds. The republican
disStfsetion has been smaller than eX-
pected, and has been mors than balanced
By democratic diSafsction. IN short.
Greeley has weakened instead OF strength
eusd the democrats. Pennsylvania viii
give Grant over 50,000-Some think
$4,000 majority next month.
Ohio has doae better than expected,

PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.

SUBMISSION OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC PEEsT
Sunday, the first of the Epiphany, the con-
gregation of st. Mary's cathedral, Memphis,
had the satisfaction of witnessing very in
teresting ceremony-nanely, the submission
of Roman priest to the authority and
jurisdiction of the American Episcopal
Church. The candidate was the Rev. Richard
Nelson Newell, NJ. A. university of Paris,
LID, University of Nashville, Tenn, now
in his seyenty-fifth year. After the Litany
had been offered the candidate was presented
by the Rev. George c. Harris, priest of the
cathedral, who said: "Right Rev. Father in
God, present to you the Rev. DR.. Newell,
priest ordained by bishop not in COM
munion with this Church, who desires to
make his declaration Of faith, and he assumes
tie obligation which shall bind him to the
service Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the United States Of America" The
Bishop, rising from his chair, made a
short statement to the congregation explana-
tory of the occasion, and read the canon pro-
vided for such cases. He then caused DR..
Newell to read aloud the declaration of fulth
required in the constitution, and to subscribe
the same in, the presence OF the congregation,
every member Of which rose, as with one
motion, at the first sound of the venerable
mans voice, and remained standing until he
returned to his place. Other clergymen pre-
sent besides those named already were the
Rev. David L. Goodloc, of Kentucky, and
the Rev. W. L. Spiers, deacon. The sermon
was preached by the Bishop, who also adj
ministcred the Holy Eucharist.

AN EPIscoPAL-CHURCH SESsATIoS.-The
Baltimore american says: Rev. Sir John
Hutchinson, clergyman of the Church Of
England, a member of the Passionist Society,
and a disciple of the advanced school of Ri
tualists, who is on his. way to Florida for his
health, ofliciated at Mount Calvary Episcopal
church, corner of Madison avenue and north
Eutaw street, OH last Sunday. In the cele-
brltion Of the communion service the titled
divine introduced some of those ceremonies
which are destined to symbolic the faith of
the celebIant in the "real presence" in the
consecrated elements. These genuf1ections
and other ritualistic pastures are practiced
by the Oxford diyines, but are not prescribed
by any of the authorized standards OF the
Episcopal Church in this country, and the
rule of faith which they teach was expressly
declared against at the late Geneva Conven-
ton. These unauthorized proceedings com.
ing to the ears of Bishop Nottingham, he
forthwith interdicted the Rev. Sir Hutchin.

any other Episcopal church of the diocese o.
