THE CIVIL RIGHTS Built is now pretty
generally conceded that the civil rights bill
will not be passed by Congress. On Monday
last an effort was made in the House by Gen
eral Butler to suspend the rules for the pur-
pose Of taking up the bill and putting it upon
its passage. The vote on suspending the rules
was l37 to So, which shows large falling off
upon the part of the Republicans since Monday
week, when the bill lacked only six votes Of
having two-thirds. Last Monday it lacked
thirty-nine. Had there been any prospect OF
the bill obtaining two-thirds vote, it is freely
charged that number Of Republicans would
have recorded themselves against it. A rumor
which has gained great currency, to the effect
that the President would veto the bill has had q
visible effect upon the action of the Republicans
And We notice that there is also some differ
ence of opinion among the colored people as &c
the benefcence of the BILL The masses, o.
course, hail it with delightful satisfaction but
many OF the thinking men of this race feal
that in the end it will be huItful to the culoreC
people-particularly in some of the Southern
States As rule, the public schools are ;
greater necessity to the colored than to th
white population, because those colored mel
who Can educate their children at their OWL
private expense are comparatively few. A
the present time separate schools, equal in a
respects, are provided but should this bill b
enacted, it is feared the entire public shoe
system in many of the States will be DESTROYED
or they will be, at least, materially impaired
Civil rights will compel the admission of color
ed children to all the schools maintained at tn
public expense; but civil rights cannot CON
pei the maintenance of the schools themselves
This is where. they ground their fears; anC
while cOntending for the equity of the prime
pie Involved in the bill, they doubt the pre-
priety Of the public school system.

A Washington dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press says the "colored members of Con-

Gratis give them the bill in payment for their

CONVENTION OF THE p. T.. CHURCH IN
DELAWARE The Eighty Fourth Annual Con-
ventiOn of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the Diocese of Delaware convened in ST.
Luke Church, Senford, on Wednesday morn,
ing, June Sd, at 9 o'clock, A. NJ.
The Convention was called to order by
Bishop Lee. Twenty ministers were present
and about forty lay delegates.
Three of the ministers, Revs Messrs. Glenn
son, Stewart and Butler, were not entitled to
seats in the Convention. A motion was made
to allow them seats but it was voted down.
Rev. Mr.. Butler, of MiddletOwn) asked to
make an explanation, but the request was not
granted.
The Bishop preached the annual sermon,
and took strong ground against ritualism.
The discourse was mainly directed against auric
ular confession as practiced in the Church of
Rome, and which late innovators have sought
to introduce into the Protestant Episcopal
Church. The Bishop took the ground that
the practice was not sanctioned by the apos.
ties, and cited St. Peters address on the
day of Pentecost and other passages, when
whole multitudes, not Individually but cOllec-
lively, were called on to repent and be bap-
tsed'' I" in the name Of Jesus Christ for the
remission Of SINS
The Bishop congratulated the convention on
the large increase Of cOn6rmations this year
over last The number reported was 1879.
The following gentlemen were elected dele
gates to the General Convention, viz: Rev
Charles S. Spencer. Rev. $. f. Hotchkin, Rev
Joseph A. Stone Rev. Benjamin j. Doug

ANIMAL as if also anxious to see the progress
of the work on the new carriage he was to
draw so proudly, walked up the steep inclined
platform leading to the second story of the
elevation. his weight caused the boards to
break under him. and his hind quarters fell
through the aperture to his launches. He
was rescued from his critical position without
material injury and he retraced his steps with
out tumbling end over end down the declivity.
His dog like seat, at such an altitude, was
rather amusing.
