The Election OF bishops Of African De
scent-The Subject Indefinitely Post.
poned.
CIScISSArI, O., May 2O.-The special
order in General Conference, the ques-
ton of the election OF Bishops Of African
descent, was taken up promptly. DR..
Smart Of Michigan, moved the adoption
Of the report presented last Tuesday by
the Committee on Episcopacy, on the
ground that il was for the best interests
0f the Celored Church TO elect colored
Bishops, that the church had never lost
in the past and would not in the iu'ure
by according to the colored membership
every right which belonged to every other
class. 4 colored Bishop would have
greater influence with his race than any
OF the white race.
DR. A. Wheeler presented the report Of
the minority signed by thirtY.one mem.
bers OF the committee, to the effect that as
many bishops had been elected as were
necessary. He supported the report by
the argument that the present effort to
elect colored Bishop was movement
toward diocesan episcopacy, and toward
an Indefinite increase in the episcopal
board.
DR.. Wentworth read long paper in
sup port OF the minority report, in which
he charged that the cOlored members Of
the Conference would not have thought
OF asking for a bithop Of African descent
had IL not been for the interference OF Ger.
tain agitators Of the Caucasian race.
Rev. Mr.. ewis (colored) made speech
in opposition TO the election OF colored
bishop, claiming that the elections having
passed, there was nothing for the colored
people to do but wait. Graham Bell
(colored), lay delegate from Louisiana,
denounced Lewis as traitor TO the cause
of the colored members OF the Church.
He and his brethren wanted a colored
bishop, because a man Of their own race
could sympathiEe with them. The NJ. E.
Church in the South now lacked the prin'
cIpal lever OF its progress. DR.. Lanahan
said this request for a colored bishop was
accompanied with threat that in case
the request was not granted the colored
people would abandon the Church. The
II. E. Church, he said, was not to be ter
rifipd by any such threat He moved The
indefinite postponement OF the whole
subject, which WAS carried by the follow
ing vote: Yeas, go; nays, lS9.
