THE EPISCOPAL sCHIsaT.

1t is rather q curious circumstance
that the first visible fruit of the recent
meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in
New York should be a schism in the
Protestant Episcopal Church. In a
laudable effort to come closer together
and strengthen the hands and hearts
of Christians everywhere, there is de-
veloped a centrifugal force strong
enough to split the Anglican Church
on an apparently innocent prayer-book.
In accordance with the call of Bishop
Cummins, issued Nov. Is, quite large
number of laymen and ministers for
merlv connected with the Protestant
Episcopal Church assembled In New
York on the I'd inst, for the purpose
of organizing a new Episcopal Church
on the basis of the Prayer-BOok Of 1885.
Among those present were the Rev. q.
E. Cheney of Chicago, the Rev. B. B.
Leacock of New York, the Rev. Mason
Gallagher, of New Jersey, the Rev.
Marshall B. Smith of New Jersey, the
Rev. Mr.. Bourne, Messrs. John S. Dake,
James L. Dawes, Frederick A. Pell,
Audley Brown, Frederick Wright, Al
bert Craw of Illinois, Col. B. Aycrigg
of New Jersey, and others. The action
throughout was entirely unanimous,
since it was an assemblage of those who
were prepared for a new departure. AT
this meeting the Rt. Rev. George Da-
vid Cummins, DID,, read the circular
in response to which the meeting was
held. and which sets forth the chief
points which distinguish the Prayer
book of 1885 from the one now in use,
in the following words:
l. The word priest does not appear
in the book, and there is no counte-
nance whatever to the errors of Sacer-
dotalism. 2 The baptismal offices, the
confirmation office, the Catechism, and
the order of the administration of the
Lords Supper contain no sanction of
the errors of Baptismal Regeneration,
the real presence of the Body and
Blood of Christ in the elements of the
Communion and of sacrifice offered
bv a priest in that sacred feast.
A temporary organization was effect
ed by the election of the Rev. B. B.
Leaeock as President and H. B. Turner
as Secretary. The Bishop then read
! the declaration of principles, which was

THE Ne1c York Tribune of the 4th
inst. has this to say Of the last outrage
on the freedom Of the ballot in Lou
isiana:
THAT prolific source of fraud and
meanness, the Louisiana complication,
involved the House in a discreditable
proceeding yesterday. An anti-Kellogg
representative claiming a seat from the
Shreveport district of Louisiana, pre-
scented himself with irregular certificate,
having been chosen last summer. But
another claimant, holding a certificate
that he was elected Nov. "A, 1873, was
also present, and was given the seat.
Now. the Shreveport district is large,
sparsely settled, and has imperfect
means of communication. Yet The
Governors certificate of the Kellogg
representative, dated at New Orleans
five days after the pretended election,
processes to give the exact figures of
that election. This is to plain 4 fraud
to deceive anybody; but the party ma
iority in the House admitted the claim
ant Just as though his papers were reg
ular. The proceeding, like almost all
of those which have sustained the Kel-
logg usurpation, is indefensible and
scandalOus."
