tlment in certain portions of the country. That
change of public sentlment-the decay and OBJ
liberation of prejudice which denies privileges
to q colored man merely because he is a colored
man, regardless of his character or intelligence,
his manners or worth-will not be retarded, but
fastened, we fully believe, by the removal OF
an irritating law that cannot be enforced from
the list of valid statutes.-New York Tribune.
THE negro citizen enjoys everywhere the same
political and civil rights under the law which
the white citizen enjoys. Any person who in

penalties as If he had interfered with the rights
OF white citizen. If there are State or local
laws anywhere which decree otherwise, or II
there are State or local officers who refuse to ex-
tend to black citizens the protection to which
IN ey are entitled citizens, it is the function or
the United States courts and authorities to de-
fend their citizenship and their rights without
any special law for their benefit. But no law
nor set of laws can successfully eradicate social
customs and prejudices The negroes can only
hope TO improve their social condition by avail
ing themselves of the equal political, civil, bust

sttution guarantees TO them.-Chcago Tribune.

Consideration of the Reports Prayer
Book and Constitutional Amendments.

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 1S.-The report of the
special committee on the disabled clergy
fund stated that the increase in contribu-
tons for the past three years was over $12.-
OOO
At the request of DIR. Fulton, considera-
ton was postponed of the report of the COM
mittee on prayer-book declining to recon-
mend the passage of the resolution proposed
by Rev. DIR. Fulton relative to amending the
constitution by striking out the words
Protestant Episcopal"
The report of the committee on prayer
book disappearing the proposed setting
forth of a Sunday-school hymnal by the
general convention, was not agreed to.
The order of the day was taken up, name
ly, the report of the committee on amend
ments to the constitution of the General
Theological Seminary After long debate
the report was adopted.
At the afternoon session a message was re-
ceived from the House of Bishops providing
for the appointment of a Joint commission
for the purpose of formulating and codify-
ing the law of discipline in the church in
such wise as to avoid uncertainties and insure
| just restraint in all matters of doctrine,
Iltudl anu InOrdlS. Inc committee on CduOns
also reported a resolution that a joint com
mittee be appointed to consist of three
bishops, three clergymen and three lay
men, to consider the duty of the church
in relation to the whole subject OF
marriage, including impediments to the con-
tracing thereof, the manner of its solemn.
cation, and the conditions of its dissolution,
and to report at the next general conven-
| ton. Placed on the calendar.
The committee on canons reported that
they had concurred with the house of bish-
ops in adopting an amendment of the canon
relative to lay readers. This report, as we'll
as another from the same committee-that
| they had adopted a resolution on the adj
mission of ministers ordained by bishops
not in communion with the church-Was
| placed on the calendar.
With reference to the report OF the special
committee on the action of Sewanee Con-
| ference, the committee on canons reported a
resolution that the board of managers of the
Missionary society be requested to take the
subject into immediate consideration and APP
| propriate as large an amount as possible to
the missions of the church for colored peo-
pie in all parts of the country, This report
was made the order of the day for Tuesday
morning, at II o'clock.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole and proceeded to consider the
resolution of the joint committee on re-
vision of the book of common prayer. Pend
ing consideration of section 6, the committee
rose and the house adjourned.
The House of Bishops adopted a resolu-
| ton that it was inexpedient to omit the
words Protestant episcopal" from the
| prayer-book. In committee of the whole on
the report of the joint committee on prayer
book, they finished the collects, eplstles and
gospels.

Vanderbilt,s Mishap.

New York, Oct 18.-William II. Wander
bilt has almost entirely recovered from the
effects of the shock received yesterday by
being thrown from his wagon in a collision
with the span of horses driven by Robert
Bonner. He arose early to-day and transacted
some business, and expects to drive in the
park this afternoon. Many of the big men
of Wall street called upon him at his house.
Mr. Vanderbilt said to the reporter: 81 am
extremely obliged to my friends the jour-
nalists especially, for the solicitude they have
displayed for my welfare The accident of
which l was the victim yesterday was, at the
worst, but trihing. I certainly got shaken
up, but feel as we'll as ever now. You can
see for yourself l am not badly hurt, at all
events" and Mr.. Vanderbilt strobe across the
room with anything but an invalids stride.
