death. The presence of European ar

may hold their design in check, will

The Convention of the Episcopal
Church in the Diocese of South Caro-
ling concluded it's annual session at
Columbia on Saturday. This conven-
ton represents some of the highest
intelligence and culture in the State.
1t was largely attended, and the sess
sion was with the exception of the
question upon the admission of col
ored churches very harmonious one.
The proposition to admit ST. Mark
Church (colored) to union with the
convention elected some discussion
and elected considerable difference of
opinion. The report against the ad-
mission, says the Charleston Journal
Of Commerce, was an able paper, and
it rests the objection to the measure
not upon the caste or color distinc-
tiOns, but upon the ground of the i'm
propriety of permitting me .nhers of
an alien and diverse race to legisIate
for the other members of the Conven-
ton. The advocates OF st. Mark had
the debate all their own way. There
were five addresses delivered upon
that side of the question, and there
was no speech at all upon the report.
The vote was adverse to the admission
of the church. The action of the Con-
vention must, therefore be regarded
as conclusive.
