Proceedings To-Day.
The convention assembled at 10 O'Clock this
morning, and divine services were conducted by
Rev Walter Mitchell and Rev. Orlando Hutton.
There was full attendance OF the delegates, as
all were interested in the expected
RESUMPTION OF THE CONTEST
begun yesterday afternoon over the disposition OF
the report Of the standing committee. The report
been referred, was looked for with great interest,"
because the chairman of that committee. the Rev.
DR.. Paret, had written a pamphlet condemning
strongly the action OF the standing committee in
the Bishop case This pamphlet was in answer to
one written by Rev. Dr. Elliott, OF this city,
member OF the standing committee, who wrote in
defense OF the committees action. This fact as
well as the feeling OF opposition In the convention
to the standing committee, made the matter one
of absorbing interest At II O'Clock Bishop Pink
ney called the convention to ORDER and the secre-
n a MIN a5,,
the reading OF the minutes, Rev. Thomas Bacon
or Baltimore, arose to
A QUESTION OF HIGH PRIVILEGE,
which was to the effect that as his name was not
on the roll during the session yesterday, owing to
the delay OF the election committe. and he could
take. no part in the proceedings, he therefore now
moved that everything In the journal be stricken
out relative to the motion Of Rev. DR.. Paret to
refer the report OF the standing committee to a
special committee. The reason for this was that
the motion was out OF order, and was passed with
out the full knowledge OF the convention. The
resolution was laid on the table on motion OF Rev.
DR. Paret
The chair stated that he had appointed Rev.
MI. Fendan Marbury On the special committee ap-
pointed to consider the report of the standing

The bishop called for the special order, which
was the report OF the special committee appointed
to consider
THE REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
The chairman. Rev. DR.. Paret, came forward
and said that, as the time had passed, a motion
would be In order that the election OF standing
committees appointed to be held at 12 O'Clock be
postponed until O'Clock. The bishop ruled that
when the hour OF IL came the special order had
preference over everything else. Rev. Dr. Paret
then proceeded with his report He said that the
committee had been unable to agree, and, inding
himself IN the minority, would call upon Rev. Mr.:
Hyland to read the majority report 1t was brief,
and stated that the committee had examined the
report OF the standing committee, together with
their books OF records, and that they find the COM
mfttee have substantially reported to the conven-
ton all its actions during the past year. as provi-
ded for In the canOns OF the church. and therefore
the committee ask to be discharged.
MINORITY REPORT.
Rev. DR.. Paret presented a somewhat
lengthy minority report The report stated
that he had examined the report and
records OF the committee, but the sec
retary told him that the papers referred to In
the report could not be produced, as they had
been filed away in Baltimore for safe keeping, and
hence, In his opinion, (Rev. Dr. Paret, the report
OF the standing committee was fmperfect The
meagerness OF the records without the original
papers was stated by the report to be contrary to
the canons OF the church, which requires them to
keep an accurate report OF its proceedings. These
proceedings involve the most important events
that transpire in the church. yet the committee
records contain no reference to the candidates ex-
