that there is something In him.

NEW YORK, SErT. 18th 1880.
While politics are at their height in this
city, we shall have gathering of
another character, but possibly not much
less stormy, in this city. In October the
triennial convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal church will meet in the church of the
Holy Trinity, and sharp contention is ex-
pected between the high and low church
wings of the denomination. For the first
time in threc-quarters of a century Trinity
parish will not entertain the visiting pre-
lates and clergy, and the burden ofhospital-
ity will fall upon the low church wing l
remember when boy that this convention
was great event, and the house of bishops
was considered a powerful institution. It
consisted thirty years ago Of about thirty
member, and all of them were men of mark.
Bishops Drane, McSlone, Nottingham,
Delaney, Hopkins, Wainwright, Meade,
Kemper and Otcy were all men Of strong in
tellect and fine executive abilities. Nova
days they seem to choose by chance, and
the sixty bishops have got less influence
than the old twenty, as an ecclesiastical
and intellectual power. AS preachers, there
is not one who has the magnetic ability of
Drane or McSlone. The house of bishops
is highly conservative, and sits with closed
doors, so nobody ever hears the murmurngs
from within. Bnt the honse Of clerical and

VOWS that he will either be mayor or con-

the latter would probably have to do pen

said that Jay Gould would really like to
see Mr.. Reed nominated, and that this is
the origin of the rumor.
Among the political talk in this city to-
day was q report that the Republicans
