group of bi,centennial fetes, per-
fectly gala occasion. The city was,
as yesterday, fairly sxathed in flags,
bunttings and evergreens. The
streets forming the route of the pro-
cession, were packed with spectators,
and although this is not a legal holi>
day, as yesterday was, business of
all kinds is at stand still.
The Trades display, with
the mystic tableaux procession
and the reception at the Academy
were minor features. The main
feature of to days part of the cele-
bration was the mystic tableaux-

extremely ingenious and beautiful.

made up of employees of the Penn,
sylyania Railroad company q,500 in
number), of the Adams Express
Company, of the Baldwin LocomoA
tive Works, and of various mans

Protestant Episcopal Church Con
Qr6sE.

RICHMOND, Va. October 25-The
proceedings Of the Protestant Epis
copal Congress, this morning, were
opened with religious services by the
Right Rev. Mr. Peterkin, Bishop of
the Diocese Of West Virginia, and
the singing of hymns, after which
the consideration OF the top of
''Priestly and Prophetic functions of
Christian ministers, was begun. The
first paper read was by Rev Mr., r.
Huntington, D. D, of Worcester,
Mass His assertion that the prophet
is one who speaks for God to
man, the priest the one who
speaks for man to God, was generally
conceded by most of the speakers
who followed him.
The subject was further discussed
by Rev. S. D Mcconnell, of Phila-
delphia; Rev. Frederick Courtney, OF
Boston; Bishop Peterkin, of West
Virginia; Rev. d. r. Greer, of Provi
dence, AID Rev DR.. j. Fl. Hopkins
of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Mcconnell said he found q
letter in the Office of priest OF
prophet, which is in the Office Of
minister, and he found much in the
office of the Christian minister not
to be found at all in the Office OF
priest or pope. He said further
that the endeavor to compress the
ministry into either one of these
offices will always work badly for the
church and badly for the man who
attempts it.
The speakers generally deprecated
ritualistic practices, and nothing was
said in favor of ritdallsm.
Tonight the relations of the
church to the colored race was dis
cussed.

and were generally true in their re>
lations in life, as far as they had an
oportunity of learning right from
wrong. DR. Syle, of Philadelphia,
favored missionry work among the
negroes. Rev. G c. Tiffanv, of
New York, contended that the Epis>
copal Church Was especially fl ted for
colored people. Bishop Dudley, of
Kentucky, thought that injustice had
been done to the colored people,
by the gentlemen who had preceded
him. He said the negro must be
brought into our bodies and welcom-
ed. He, as a Southern man, was
willing to sit with him, be he as
black as he may, if he is the right
sort of clergyman or layman.
Congress adjourned at 11.30 p. m.

Protestant Episcopal Congress.

RICHMOND, Va, October 26-In
the Protestant Episcopal Congress
last night, Rev. W. B. w. Home, D.
D., Bishop Of South Carolina, in
speaking on the subject 'of the re
lation of the Church to the colored
race, said the method must be pure
Iy missionary for centary or two.
They should be fitted for seats in
diocesan bodies, and they should be
considered as members of the same
body, until the two races should
be united under one bishop. A gen
eraI sympathy on the part Of the
whites and a becoming modesty on
the part of the blacks would unite
the two races. As to the qualifca>
ton of the colored candidates for
deaconate and priesthood, he said
dlthculues could be met by recog-
nlzlug the common differ noes recog-
nlzed IN nature. He advocated
theological depar ment N some iusti~
tutlon near the fed of their lapors.
Rev ). +. Z. Smedes, of raleigh,
n u, IN his paper, gave at length a
staC tics OF The work done among
the colored race by other religious
denominations, and contrasted there
WIN the little work that the Episco
PAL church ls doing among them
Inc contrast was mortIfying. and it
should stimulate renewed efforts and
better results.
Ihe next paper was read by Rev.
Henry Dunlap, of Savannah. who
spoke of the relations etveen
Christians and the colored race. all
of whom prayed to one Father.
The first speaker was Rev. J. L..
Tucker, ID. d., of Jackson, Miss. He
said the selection of the topic was
evidence that there is difference be-
tween the relation of the church to
the colored man and the relation of
the church to the white race. After
stating that the negroes were brought
to this country absolute barbarians
he charged them with an innate want
OF honesty, truthfulness and virtue,
and said all attempts on the part of
their masters and others to instil
peter principles developed the vilest
hypocrisy.
heV' ), S. Hanckel, of Virginia,
eontended that the chuch stands in
her relation to the colored race as to
every other race He advocated q
separate diocesan Organization for
the colored people.
DR.. Hopkins, of PENNSYLVANIA. com
pared the prior efforts to bring The
African up to the level of the FMS
copal Church service, to pouring hot
mutton gravy into a cold dish. The
negro mistook the emotion for relic
ION, and after shouting and feeline
warm and good he takes that to be
plety, and then does not care how
many hen roosts he robs.
Rev. Mr.. Shackleford, of Virginia
also defended the character of the
negroes, and contended that in The

Special Dispatch to the Chronicle.
ATHENS, Tenn, October 26.
Hon. A. A. Taylor met Senator
Isham G. Harris in joint discussion
here to-day. The court room was
well filed by an intelligent au-
dience, containing many ladies.
Each speaker consumed two hours
and then rejoinder.
Senator Harris tried to ignore the
question of the State debt by
saying that the Democracy
had compromised upon it, and that it
was of minor Importance to the
matter of Democratic ascendo
ancy in political affairs. His whole
speech, though well delivered, was
merely rehash of his old anti tariff
argument of two years ago, with
such slight changes on State matters
as suited the changed standing
of his party at the present time.
Mr. Taylor, however, claimed
Importance for the State debt ques-
tion and forced the matter home in a
clear and forcible argument which
elected favorable comments and
much applause, charging Harris with
a change of views, because on such
change depended his only hope of
reelection to the Senate. He also
scored the Senator's public record,
and argumentatively used him up.
To Mr.. Harris, at the close of his
remarks, bouquet was quietly pre-
sented by Captain Harblson's little
daughter, and the Senator became
eloquent in response.
Miss Mary Trevethan, with neat
and appropriate speech, presented
Mr.. Taylor with a floral tribute of
Tie 6SlG6m Ill WHICH uo 10 uo1u D1
the ladies of Athens, to which the
recipient responded in an affective
manner.
Toemorow they speak at Madi
sonville, and then Harris leaves the
joint discussion, at the behest of his
committee, who recognize that
the best Republican canvass
ing to be found would be
allowing Harris to go through East
Tennessee as a target for the logic
and witticisms of Taylor's magnetic
elOquence.
Taken altogether, Taylor's on
slaught here was hot and vigorous,
though high-tored, and the weak
applause given Harris, with the vo-
ciferous enthusiasm manifested at
the Little Giants" telling points,
showed conclusively how the major
ity of those present would vote. G.
