AN EPISCOPAL CLERGYMAN'5 LIBERTY TO
PREACH.

To The Edfkor Of The Tribune.
SIR: A communication on the General Con-
venon OF the Episcopal Church under my signature as
below appeared In your OF Saturday last To-day
"a Depdty to the General Convention" " tells me that
am in error in alleging that Episcopal clergyman can
not now preach church belonging to another denom-
nation. says that Episcopal clergymen preach
anywhere being only restrained by canon requiring
them to obtain permission OF the rector before oca
ling in an Episcopal parish He further says that he
does preach for his brethren OF all churches whenever
he can help them, which establishes the identity OF
CORE spOndent the minds Of all who know anything Of
the personnel Of tho Convention.
Now The TRIBUNE must permit me- 10 simple justice
to give an extract from my letter sent for pubca
tlon by which my friend will see that made tho quail
fcation and stated the law correctly:
"An Episcopal clergyman cannot now preach in q
church belonging to another denomination without The
consent OF rector and without using the
Prayer-BOOk seryice which Is generally impracticable
However much he may desire 10 proclaim the gospel,
and the people to hear HIM. his lips are sealed The Con-
venti0n done nothing to open them."
Why the communication, actually published, was
cut and eliminated, and. the force OF much whch
was SAID thereby weakened must be left for editor
ial with their mysteries To reveal or 10 keep
hidden. REFORMED EPI5CoPALIAS.

wAsHINGTQN's EXAMPLE CONCERNING A THIRD
TERM.
To the Editor Of the Tribune.


SIR: The unpatriotic disposition to concede
third term the President, If the party OF which he
is chief see t to renomnate him, has had rebuke in
the late elections which should silence not eradicate
1t. The monstrous heresy Is best condemned by the
voice OF the people, to which THE TRIBUNE has given
such surprising tone and volume. AprOpos OF the SUBJ
ject some OF your older readers may recall the Grafton
of John Quincy Adams upon the 50th anniversary OF
the Inauguration OF George Washington. delivered be-
fore the NewYork Historical Society to Gan immense
