The Police Jury.

From the published proceedings
of the Police Jury Of onr Parish,
we CLEAN an insight into the finan-
cial situaiio ion of the Parish. Since
its last sitting, in October we be-
lieve, the Collector Of Parish Ta.:es
has paid over the sum Of SIG $685.
Sc, and the Treasurer has handed
over the sum ISL 1852, in Par
ish Certificates to the Jury, which
amount has been destroyed. The
Jury passed favorably on claims TO
the amount Of $l9G4.9S, against
the Parish, for which Gen ,iticates
of witnesses were issued Claims
to the amount o. SS4G,S7, we've dis
allowed. We cannot from the pro-
|ceedings ascertain the real indebt-
ehness Of the Parish, bnt we think
the sum of twelve thousand dollars
will cover it all. Financially
speaking, therefore, we think our
Parish is not in very bad fix, and
with the least good management
and economy, the first Of January
1875, will find her clear Of debt
The Police jury, who seem to take
more interest in Onr affairs than
usual, owe it to themselves and to
the true interests of Rapidcs to
keep on in The good work and keep
the ball of reform in motion and in
the right track.

THE TRiENNIAL CONVENTION OF TIL
EPISCOPAL CHURCH has been in session
in New York city for two weeks, ant
numbers among Its members some o
the most distinguished divines, lawyers
and statesmen OF the Union. The mos
prominent topic which has been pre-
sented for discussion, is the subject Of
ritualisnl, upon which the Low Church
men are determined to press the issue
The correspondent of the Ne,os d Courier
writes:-
Speculation is rife as to the result,
but 1t is believed that, though the High
Churchmen are probably IN majority,
some expression of disapprobation OF
extreme ritualistic practices will be
passed. In many respects the present
Episcopal Convention will be more i'm
portant than any that has been held.
An unWillingness to condemn Ritualism
at all would undoubtedly give fresh
impetus to the Cumnins movement.
DR.. Tying believes in staying in the
church and fighting "Romish tenden-
cies," but how could he remain there
longer if what he styles "Romish ten
denotes" were gravely approved ef?''

of eleven congressman, and almost

SIT. / They gain eight congressman,
having only six in the present Congress.
This result exceeds the haost sanguine
expectations. The entire Democratic
State ticket is elected. "
In Indiana official and sehtisoficial
returns from seventy-five precincts and
fifty Counties heard from show Demo

central comthtttee concede the election
of the entire Democratic State ticket by
