truth of this statement, and illustrated
it in many ways by referenc to the
Church's offics and services and to the
representative bodies of the Laity in
both Church and State.
It's effect will be to help dispel the
prejudice and mistaken ideas that prevail
respecting the genius of our Church, of

adopted by us and our Fathers. If print

NEW YORK, November 20.-The
meeting to-day lasted
three hours, and the discussions were
quite warm. A motion was made 10
Law the report of the committee OF nine
on the table, which was voted down
fiftv nays to eight ayes. Then II was
moved that the report be postponed
sixty DAYS, which was rejected by a vote
of forty to seventy-eight. Vail, OF the
bank of Commerce then formally with
drew from the meeting. he was fol-
lowed by representatives Of the Metro
politan. Grocers', and State of New ork
hanks. The above banks are opposed 10
the reform measures. Afterward, the
Fourth national, Mercantile and New
York, left the meeting in consequence
of business at their respective banking
houses. Then each bank was called
upon for an expression of opinion. A
vote was taken on the report as whole.
The vote on this stood, II nays, 45 ayes.
The amendments to the articles were
then taken up separately for amend
ment, but from numbers one to nine
teen inclusive, were passed over. Artl-
Gle twenty was amended so as TO read
as follows: "No member of the Clear
ipghouse association shall be allowed to
redeem the checks Of any
association, corporation, firm OF
individual, excepting upon regu-
larly incorporated banks located in

lows: f'That it will not receive upor
deposit as cash from dealers checks
drawn otherwise than on banks which
are members of this association, or suet
regularly incorporated banks, as hereto
fore provided by article No. 20. A mo
tion was made to allow three per cent

down by large majority. Article No

NEGRO CONVENTION.
The COlOred Republicans Of New Or

Political Interests.

From the New Orleans Herald, November 1871
The colored convention opens, as
usual, with dissentiOas. Although
called for the purpose OF having the
colored interests properly represented in
the coming political battle, bitter strife
for leadership has already been deVel-
oped. Within the past few months
Pinehback's supremacy has been as
sailed by numerous rivals. A hest Of
claimants are putting in their clgims
for chief medicine man, among whom
Antoine, Ingraham, Lewis, and Barber
are prominent. The greatest aspiring
Moses of his people is, however, Gen
eral Morris, the profound scholar, the
brave soldier, the wise statesman, who
grasps eagerly at the mantle Of the
dead Dunn, and wages a war no less Bit
ter against the more lucky and amiabIe
Pinch. No doubt the session Will be
characterized with the usual beeT-garden
tactics incident to large gatherings OF
the colored brethren, and will adjourn,
as usual, without having accomplished
anything other than a large evolvement
of gab
