EspiscOpal Convention at Mil
Waukee.
The War Of the Roses.


MINIATURES, Feb. 12-The Episcopal
Convention reassemoled at 8 A. NJ. Most
of the forenoon was occupied IS discussing
the charges made against DR.. IDekover by
the Nashotch professors, especially the
pamphlet by DR.. Eager, Of Nashotch, enti-
tied "PrincipleS, not Men," which was
aimed at the principles of DR.. Dekover. A
fire brand was thrown into the convention
in the shape of a document signed by four
Young students at NaShOtch, declaring that
DR.. Eager had stated that the pamphlet
was written for political effect.
To end the discussion and personalities,
which bid fair to prolOng the convention
for several days, Hon. Moses NJ. Strong
moved that the debate terminate at p. NJ.
and that the business of electing a bishop
be proceeded with.
DR.. Dekover here rose and asked the
privilege of the fieOr for the last hour be-
tween and 8 P. NJ, to define his position.
This was objected to on the ground that it
would be unfair to the Hoffmer party to
proceed to the election of a Bishop under
the spell of the Professors elOquence. DR..
DekOver declined making any statement
under any other consideration.
Pending the argument on this point, the
convention adjourned until p. NJ.
The faction opposed to the extreme ritu
alistS, or DekOver party, are Conservatives,
not Cummingsites. There are said to be
only Few Of the Cummings party in this
diocese. The excitement runs very high,
and each step is hOtly contested with very
bitter feelings on both sides.
Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon session of the EpiscO-
tiOn cutting off the debate after s p. NJ,
prevailed, and the afternoon was devoted
to the arraignment of ID. DekOveT for eX
treme ritualist, bordering on ROmaniSm.
The opposition offered numerous dOcU-
ments, private letters and private cOnversa-
tiOns in support Of their charges, going so
far as that he disclaimed all tendencies to
Romanism but adhered to his
position as strict Titualist.
Considering the number of shining
lights in the church who believed as he did,
he characterized the crusade against him
self as a trumped up affair, the object Of
which was too plain to need further eXpla-
nation. Adjournment till half past seven,
when DR.. Adams delivered a carefully pre-
pared address very damaging TO DR.. DekO-
yer, and to which the Doctor desired
to reply, but was cut off by
the hour of adjournment being announced.
First ballot of the clergy-wEole number
votes necessary to a choice 35. Deck
over, 80; = Hoffman, 81; scattering, ).
Second ballot Hoffman gained one. The
clergy nominated DR.. Deckover on the
fourth ballot. The laymen refused to con-
firm this nomination by vote Of 81 to 16.
A new man will be put in the field.
At 1880 the convention adjourned sine
die, without electing Bishop. The cleo
tion will take place al the next meeting in
June.

PROFESSIONALLY, Ind, Feb. 12.-The
wounan's crusade against the whisky traffic
in other cities has commenced its develop
ment in this city, and o-day it actually as
sumed shape by the meeting of about 200
ladies at the Methodist church. All OF
them we're Of good repute for morals and
religion. and their intended warfare upon
the sOloOn-keepers will undoubtedly be a
determined one. After singing and prayer,
a permanent organization was effected with
Mrs. Sallie jackson, President, and two
Vice Presidents from other different denOm-
nations. Speeches were made by Ruebel
Daly. editor of the EreniRg NeirS and Nd-
fiondl Democrat, and others. The follow
ing preamble was read and adopted:
Whereas, we believe that a crisis has
been reached in which due popular senti-
ment demands the cessation of the liquor
traffic: that our object shall be moral sua-
sion TO induce liquor dealers to abandon
their business for their own welfare and
that of humanity; that uniting our prayers
we will never cease pleading until our OBJ
iect is attained.
Adjourned until o'clock tomorrow. In
the meantime the Executive Committee
meets to mark out plan for action.
The Interest lnfenS1Geu-
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 1.-THE temper
anee news is much the same in form and
spirit, perhaps intensified in some places.
At Washington Courthouse, the second
place where the movement began, a COM
plete victory is recorded. The last liquor
seller tried TO obtain terms, but the ladies
demanded unconditional surrender. He
finally Welded and thanksgiving meeting
was held.
At Athens, the liquor sellers tried to hold
a meeting last night in church, but could
not get a quorum.
One druggist sent in pledge which was
not acceptable. One saloon keeper agreed
to stop. The ladies' spent the day iii the
suburbs, taking dinner with them.
The most interesting case Is that OF
Xenia. which is the largest city in which
the movement has been attempted. 1t is
claimed that if it succeeds there it may
succeed in other large towns.
An effort was made to-day by process
sion. Before it started, message was re
ceiyed from druggists stating they had
signed the pledge. Encouraged by this,
the ladies went to saloons and found most
of them closed. At last they surrounded
one anu Llduc u piOeIdOtCu OholN' N~N -
capitulation was effected. At Dayton the
ladies are quietly watching what appears
to be favorable time. Meantime they
are getting ready for work.
A division among the people is reported
at Macarthur, Venton county. One saloon
keeper has engaged music to be played
while ladies are about his place.
At Lancaster ladies from Logan are urg-
ing on the work. The saloons are all
closed, but no pledges given.
Work is begun in Canton, South Charles
ion and Greenville. At West Jefferson in
five days, two saloons out Of six have been
closed.
At Shelby, Ohio, one hundred ladies
were grossly insulted on the street by a
saloon-keeper. At New Holland they were
assaulted by a salOOn-keeper with poker.
The man was arrested.

Mr.. Ca!eam, from the same committee,
reported back the Senate bill authorizing

The House then, at 1:30, went into COM
mittee of the whole, Mr.. Cox in the chair,
on the fortification bill. Items of $4,000
each for forts FOOte and Washington, on
the Potomac river, were struck ont. Items
for forts Moultrie, Sumter and Pulaski
were retained. An appropriation fOT Fort
McHenry and Fort Jefferson was refused.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House, and it was passed.
The House again resolved itself into a
committee Of the whole, Mr.. Wilson of
Iowa IN the chair, on the bill to repeal the
duty or tax on matches, and Mr.. Dawes
proceeded to address the House.
Mr.. Dawes discussed the pending bill,
and that for the repeal of check stamps TO
gether. The tax on matches last year
reached two and a half millions, and that
on bank checks 100000. The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue estimated the
repeal would require the refundingof half
million to those now holding stamps for
bank checks, and like amount for stamps
on matches, so the question Of repeal in
volved S5,100,O00. The Committee on
Wavs and Means were unanimous against
repeal. The Secretary of the Treasury had
on hand az the commencement of the fiscal
year over SI30, ,0OO, 900, of which some SI0,-
100000 were held in trust. leaving gbut $780,
O00.000 belonging to the Government, its
