LOW CHURCHMEN DISAPPOINTED.

MIsAPPREHENsION AS TO TIE ATTITUDE OF iliE
EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE.-THE RESULT ADVERSE
TO THE LOW CHURCH PARTY.
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: There seems to be much misapprchen-
sion and perplexty TO the true attitude OF tho PROT
estant Episcopal Church in its doings at the late Con-
vention Having been q constant attendant ana close
OF every question that came up during It's pro
longed session. perhaps relieve the minds OF some
by stating in words the results OF the four main
propositions brought before tho Convention. The first
proposition Is DR.. Seymonrs case. Although his cleo
lion was not confirmed it Is clearly understood the ma
jorty were favorable to HIM Secondly, tho Canon Or
Ritual Ii was 80 altered amended as to oeoome qnite
imperative 1t only restricts item or two, In the
celebration of the Communion this is conceded by both
parties. Thirdly, the petition OF 500 cergymen OF
the Evangelical side, asking fer the change OF
one sentence or an alternate phrase IN the
Eaptismal Service. This was, by far, the most
important aud interesting question Of the whole. from
and had weighed so heavily on the c0nsclences OF
many of the best and ablest men In tbe Church. the
Rev. DR.. Vinton OF Boston presented the appeal ana
adVOca its passage address OF great el0quence
ard sOlemnity, to the effect upon tue Church II tho
sbity rested with the High Church party they out
the other side. 1t did not take long 60 SEQ
what the decision would be, even berore the DEBATE
ended Tle unseemly clamor and haste to oppose the
measure was dsgracefdl, the House presenting the
appearance Of turbulent political gathering Tue de
cast, and the petition was rejected by very lar2e
majority. FJurtalY. the report OF q committee pro-
posing to appoint comm sson to revise the ruorlrs OF
Church. This request akin to the question pre-,
cedng it, asking for alteration Of the PrayerB0ok aud
it met the same fate.
In view Of these facts it is clearly apparent that the
dongs of the late Convention decidedly adverse to
the Low Church party They gained no point thdt was
really issue, and their defeat signal and final.
Now there is nothing hope for from future C0nyen-
tons Ii only remains to what will be the action
Of the pronounced Evangelical men OF tue church

HOW TO MAKE GREENBACKS EQUAL IN VALUE
10 GOLD.
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.


SIR Though can Offer nothing absolutely
new upon 80 trite subject may do good by setting
points they appear to concerning the
currency question. One fact seems to have been uni-
versay lost sight Of which is that II the greenbacks
were treated as they evidently intended TO be
treated when they first issued, there would be no
necessity for and special propety in "specie Day
ments" far as greenbacks are concerned The Gov.
ernment issued greenbacks simply because could not
at the time, in the future procure specie TO
meet Its expenses. To give the green backs yaue H.
made them receivable for taxes which amounted 30
piedgiDg future revenue for their payment The
promise to pay" therefore fully and sufficiently met
when 1t is received for taxes. But here comes
very important implication which the inaat,on,sts
entirely ignore, which s that they not received
for taxes" In the full intent and meaning OF that term
until they are Cancelled and destroyed ~
The late Mr.. MicawDer, You know, was won, IN be
very happy when he had settled all his little btils by
lappy n the l. o. us" woud only have circuaied a.
"cuirency" Therefore let all debtors public and nri
yate take about specie payments bu. simD
use any surplus income TO cancel evidences
ness This Is the only genuine way TO Improved
credit All others more or less cunnugiy devised
humbugs.
This policy would imply the sale Of all gold In the
Treasury needed pay interest bonds because
Government need never pay any gold IN exchange
for greenbacks at all; at least till after they shaI
have long been ut par In tho open market. and gold
shall have worked Its into the reserves OF banks
Initiation cannot stimulate business II did In war
times. because the Government not now buyer and

SIR: In recent TRIBUNE there were some
excellent remarks with regard to what the two parties

SIR: It must surely have struck those who
have read both Prof. Tyndalls lectures and DR..
McCoshs structures it, that the Doctor cannot have
read the lectures with the that Intelligent crti
csm OF IL would demand. In the first place the Doctor
tries TO throw contempt on the Professors scholarship
because he made mention Of neither Buddha Confu

time to the present. whose systems had nothing in
mon with atomic theory which all the Professor
Unattended to Give tae history OF. The Doctor says
One would gather from his lecture that the ancients

tive In other felds than theirs" and goes to
