Washington Correspondence Of the Savannah
The president is very fond of going to
the theatre when he can indulge his pencil
ant at the expense of other parties. Mr..
Saville, the late manager of the National
Theatre here, has been brought to bank
ruptcy by disastrous season. A compli-
mentary testimonial was recently rendered
him by his friends. Almost every week
during the season the president had sent
for a private box, and it was always given
free to him, although frequently it could
have been disposed of to those who were
willing to pay for these amusements.
Notwithstanding this, when Mr.. Saville's
benefit came off the president declined to
take single ticket All the members OF
the cabinet, with the exception of Mr..
Fish, followed the example of the illustri-
GUS deadhead who rules over them. They
and their families are constantly at the
theatre and opera. and always on free
tickets. They look to the job papers here
to see that they are provided in this re-
spect. The proprietor of one of these pa
pers. for fear of offending these people,
paid short time ago out of his own pocket
$50 in one week for opera tickets which
they had sent to his Office for.

sixty lay delegates were prcsent--an unusually
full attendance Tor the opening day. Bishop
Whitungham read his annual address, por,

questions arising out Of the action of the stand,
ing committees of the diocese 10 presenting to
the bishop, 10 February last, for trial, the rec
tor of Mount Calvary church, in this city, for
alleged violation of canon Of the Church by
offering prayer for the dead, and his 1.-THE
bishop's) authority 10 the premises. In Feb
ruary last a formal presentment was made as
above stated, Cd which presentmcnt the bishop
has up to this time taken no action, nor lodi-
Gated his intention. A portion OF the clergy
hold that under the title of Canon the bishop
is required when such presentment is made to
convene the Ecclesiastical Court for trial OF the
parties presented; while the bishop holds be
has discretionary power in the premises aud
the Canon is not mandatory 10 It's character.
In reading from his address on this subject
the bishop said it had been reported that for
his action in this matter he was to be called
upon to answer before the General Convention
at its next session, which he acknowledged
would be source of deep regret. 10 obvlate
any difference Of opinion in the construction OF
the canon, the bishop moved az amendment
embodyiDt his views as to its meaning AMI
intention, on which he moved the previous
question.
After objection to this summary mode Of dis
posing of 80 important matter, the previous
question was Withdrawn and the subject refer
red TO the committee on cauons.
