Mr.. Murch "grcenbacker,' is placed with
the opposition
These tables show change of seven
members from the opposition to the ad-
ministration side of the chamber.
The whole number OF seats in the
house is 293. The whole number of ad-
ministration members of the present
house is 1873; and the whole number of
opposition members Gncluding those
styled "greenbackers'' is l60. A quorum
Of the house is LAT. To obtain the quo
rum necessary to the organization of the
house, the administration party must
take from the combined opposition four
teen seats in the next house OF repre-
sentatives.
One-half of this number, it appears,
have been gained in the elections already
held. Will the administration party be
able to gam the seven additional mem
bers necessary to give them control of
the next house?
There is reason TO think they will gain
two in Iowa in place of the "greenbuck-
ers" Weaver and Gillette. They have

A Few Changes in the Code of Episcopa-
lianisn.
New York, Oct. 14-In the Episcopal
convention Rev. DIR. Knight presented a
memorial to absolutely forbid, by canon
ical amendment, the sale or rental of
pews in churches.
The report OF the committee on canons
touching on the establishment or forma-
tion of federal council of the province
of Illinois, led to long discussion. Mr.
Andrews of Ohio SAID the diocese could
select the United States court as court
of appeals, if they could obtain hearing
there, and then the diocese could select
its own court, but the convention could
not impose upon any diocese court of
appeals.
Objection was made to the word "prov-
ince" by delegate, who suggested that
the word "state" should be substituted.
A long speech was made by Mr.. Judd of
Illinois, who contended that the use of
the word province" was Of little conse-
quence. It had only been adopted as a
churchly name. DIR. Judd continued his
speech after recess, remarking that a
canon had been adopted authorizing the
formation of federate councils by diocese
in the different parts of Illinois. Under
this canon the diocese Of Illinois had
complied to letter and formed teder.
ate council, and he thought the conven.
ton had nothing to do with it. He spoke
strongly in favor of the word province as
being churchly word.
DIR. Easton of Illinois said his delega
ton simply desired that the dioceses
which had separated should still have
the power Of united action, and as to
the word 'provinceJ they had no particu
lar preference. Great care had bcel
taken to guard the independency of the
various dioceses, and they could with
draw from the council whenever they de
sired.
After long and animated discussion
resulting in the substitution of th
phrase federal council diocese in tn
state of Illinois" for the word "province.
!, the report of the committee, SO amende,
was adopted.
The committee on canons, deeming /
inexpedient that the names of person
registered as communicates, and no
having actually communicated for Gel
tain time, should be omitted from tn
annual report of rectors, was, after
long debate, recommitted to be commit
. ted by vote 14l to 63.

suod the following to the democrats and

peated assessments OF an army of Office
holders, and with the power OF the fed

United States marshals ut the polls.
With intimidation, fraud, and resort to
every currupt appliance known to repub-
llcan methods.concentrated in two states,
our adversaries have succeeded in pro.
curing the probable return of their local
candidates. Can it be possible that in
every state throughout this broad land
the same methods can be brought to
bear that We're used by the rcpubli-
can managers in Indiana and Ohio? Can
the great states of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, California, Colorado, Ne.

lntlmidated and defrauded? Even with
out the vote Of Indiana, which we be-
lieve will be redeemed in November,with
New York. New Jersey and the states
that are conceded to us, including Maine,
the election of our candidate is assured.
The republican party have put in nomi-
nation for president and vice-president
two men who, by the admission of their
own party and press, are unworthy of
our confidence and your sufferage. It is
impossible that 5O,000,0OO of intelligent
and patriotic people will conscn to place
themselves upon the humiliating level
thus prepared for them by the republi-
can managers. Fellow citizens, the FIRST
days repulse at Gettysburg ended on the
third with Hancock in the front in a glo-
rious victory. That victory secured us
our union. The question is not now the
preservation of the union, but of the
constitutional government. Hancock
is now, rs then, in the front. The repulse
is now, as then, one of victory, which
will secure to the coming generations
the inestimable blessings OF civil liberty.

suggest to these invasive, aggressive and
abusive candidates that, intrenched as he
is in the popular heart, General GRANT is
not the safest man in the country to en-
counter in this shape, aud if such coutin-
gency shouldorise, undersuch circumstances
which is not propable-that his name
should be withdrawals friends could
not be reasonably expected to further the
interests of either of the candidates who
have been making this alliance and crusade
against him and his friends. And before
leaving this subject we take the liberty OF
suggesting that these rivals will not only
fail in defeating General GRANT at this
time, but their methods are likely to bring
about an opposition hereafter which will
leave their chances of success a forlorn
hope. If General GRANT is beaten fairly
and because another candidate is the choice
Of the people, without tampering and CHI
canery, his friends will accept the situation
gracefully and yield to none in seconding
the result. But they cannot pass the
methods of the hour by without criticism
and dissent.

DEMOCRATIC ANXIETY.

why Is II that tho Republican machine Is so
tied to the candidacy ofGHANT that its leaders,
seeing clearly, as they DO, the unpopularity Of
the third.term idea, seem yet constrained
to go on to his nomination in spite of the stern
protest of at least a powerful minority p
Nashville american.
The anxiety of the Democrats lest the
Republicans may possibly press weak
candidate to nomination is truly marvel
Gus. Usually, a party, if it has sense
enough to hit the earth with its hat is de-
lighted to see its opponent pressing itself
into position of weakness. Under such
circumstances a sagacious party would put
shoulder TO the wheel and aid an opponent,
who is thus bent on ruin, instead of throw
ing discouragements in its way. The atti-
tude of the american and its solicltous fol-
lowers in this matter is simply absurd and
ridiculous, for the reason that it is insin-
cere and even foolish. If the american
really wants to know why large majority
of the Republican party desire the nomi-
nation of General GRANT, in face
of the opposition of the faction who
rally around the "thrd-term" dogma,
the question is readily and easily an
swered. They desire General GRANT rs
a candidate for the reason that they have
an abiding FL it'll in his election. They be-
lieve him to be the strongest candidate
named, and they prefer to follow the
triumphal car in this campaign rather than
to take position in rear of the hearse as
mourners. They are "tied to the candidacy
"of GRANT" for the reason that his very
fear, and because he can be elected, and
when elected he will take the helm Of the
ship of state and bring her out of the
troughs of tie sea and set her prov toward
the haven of peace and prosperity. They
are tied to his candidacy because they
never take counsel of their enemies in the
selection of standard bearer. They feel
assured that the "third-term" cry is like
the malnrious fog of the morning, which
suddenly disappears before the rising sun,
and after his nomination will soon end in
vapor. They confidently believe that the
efforts of each "scratcher" in the contest
will be scratched out by two loyal Demo.
Gratis, who will compensate all scratching
| by an honest and stalwart adherence to his
cause, and who are actuated in their course
by love of country. These are few o.
the reasons why the Republicans who sup
port General GRANT are tied to his candi.
dacy; and there are many others equally
pertinent and potent that might be given
The worst part of this matter is, that these
anxious Democrats will be compelled tc
confront General GRANT as Il candidate
and to submit under the popular decree tc
! a third term.

have suggested in addition that those who
hope to defeat General GRANTS nomina-

Bureaus composed of pensionod henchmcn,
will find in due time that such efforts and
