Bishop CUMMISs Bishop Cummins, foun-
der of the Reformed Episcopal Church, deliv-
cred an address last night in the tabernacle of
the Presbyterian church, in Philadelphia, on
the subject Of the new church movement -
He recltcd the labors of the general conven-
ton of the z. K. Church, which met in Phi.
adelphia in 1885, aud SAID if the prayer book,
as it was then revised: had remained with the
Church, the latter would have by this time
overspread the laud. He charged upon Bishop
S.abury, Of Connecticut, the work Of restoring,
in 1889, the errors which had been takcu from
the prayer book in 1885, and said hat the
Church at this time used the prayer book thus
handed down, and which came originally from
the polluted sorce Of Charles Ii, in whose days
il had beeu revised, A. d., 1911. He justified
his withdrawal from the p +. Church on the
ground that the prayer book is corruptiDg that
reformation must begin outside Of the Church
and not within its pale. He strongly contend.

/ VIRGINIA REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS
Indications are continually crUpplug out oil
late showing very decided disturbance of the
entente corjlale between the colored republi-
cans of Virginia and the amiable gentlemen
from the north, who have so kindly consented
| to represent them in Congress since rcconstruc

ing round to the opinion that some of their pro-
tessed friends have been using them for their
Own interests, aud they begin to think that they
would be as we'll represented 10 Congress by
some oftheir own race. The second aud fourth
congressional districts of Virginia contain very
large prepoudcrance Of cOlorcd voters. They
have been represented by eutcrpri.ng New Eng

A JOKE OR A THREAT.

The following paragraph appeared yesterday
morning in an editorial in the New Orleans
Republican, and has occasioned no little COM
ment as emanating from the organ Of the
Radical party in this State:
| At the close Of the polls the Picayune
claimed the city by $4,000 majority. It will
probably compromise on II, 600 to-day, and be
| glad to get 5000 tomorrow. At this rate there
will be little left by the time the Returning
Board gets through with the work Of count
ing.
If this was intended as joke it is pretty
good and we are prepared to join in the
laugh, but if it was intended as threat, and
we confess it looks little ugly, we have just
word of advice to the Republican and the
Returning Board: Don't do it! Don't you
counteaance, much less advise, the changing of
single figure or name on the rolls and tally
lists. It would not be fair, you know, and it
would not be healthy.
The men on the Returning Board may be
as brave as julius Caesar and may ardently de-
sire to emulate the perjurer Blanchard, but
We hardly think they Will at this particular
juncture, dare to falsify the records. The
people are not precisely in the temper to be
trihed with, and the man who attempt to
stand between them and the results they have
achieved with SO much labor and against such
tremendous obstacles had better tie one Of the
granite blocks of the Custcm-House around
his neck and then drop the block into the
river.
We have no doubt the Returning Board
particularly if aided by the able statistical
brain Of Packard-might easily CIPHER out
majority against as in this city and State, but
as this kind of arithmetic is getting rather
out of fashion here, we believe that "by the |
time they get through with the work of count
ing" their Radical friends into Office, these
mathematician might find them
selves unpleasantly, as well as Unexpectedly
" counted out"

CURIOUS TRAITS OF THE NEGRO.

The special correspondent Of the New York
Tribune who recently took trip up in the
parishes, and who wrote thence several very
interesting letters. relates the following Incl
dents as illustrative of the peculiar character
istics of the negroes and the kindness of the
planters:
My host told several stories illustrating the
peculiarities of negro charaeter-his secre-
tlveness, gullibility, political slavishness, and
superstition in religion. While he was plant
ing III anothing parish, well-known negro
was reported missing from the plantation. It
was said by his fellows that he had run away,
but Gen. Thomas had reason to believe other
wise, and confded his suspicious to colored
justice OF the peace, who at snce had sort Of
investigation of the case but without making
any discovery.
So the matter dropped from the memory af
the whites. But more than year afterwards
negro got drunk, and IN quarrel said to an
associate: eff you don't take care I'll ont
your head off like did s." This 70.
mark being reported tc the whites, they
caused the arrest of the man who made it
and this led to a confession, from which u
appears that poor - had really been muir
dered. He was attending a prayer-neeting
when row took place, and a negro who was
a kind OF planta ion butcher took an i'm
mense meat-ax and severed his head at a
blow. The strange part Of it is that, though
the murder was witnessed by half score of
negroes, and soon became known to nearly
every man on the plantation, the secret
was faithfully kept for more than a |
year-not only from the white men, but from
those negroes who were officers of Justice. |
How easily the negroes can be deceived by
politicians was shown By several incidents.
one day Gen. Thomas was surprised to find
his people measuring off his land. Inquiring
What they were about he was told that they
were laying off their forty acres s.Forty
