CHURCH CONGRESS.
The EpiscopaIians Discuss Several
important Questions.
A Free Church System Urged by
Several Speakers.

NEW HAVEN Oct. 22.-The unpleasant, un-
fortunate and rather remarkable incident which
cast cloud over the harmonious proceedings OF
the Episcopal Church Congress last night was
very gracefully and happily dispelled today by
mutual apologies offered by the principals, Rev.
DIR. Courtney of Boston and Charles Heber Clark
of Philadelphia. The topic for discussion this
morning was EstheticSm in Worship" topic
of great interest to Episcopalians Rev. w. A:
Sa SSnvs sErc s. the church P
altar linens, sacred vessels and other things
should so far as practicable be of the best obtana-
BILE material and confined strictly to the principle
of good taste There may be a fair protest
against artificial flowers and sense of excess In
Transforming the preachers platform into an exotic
conservatory but there can be no question III
reasonable minds as to the propriety in decor
ating Gods altar with the farest products of his
own creation.
church of God should be as beautiful as its MEM
bers can conscientiously make 1t. 1t should be as
good as the average house OF its members, but It
need be no better. No congregation has a right
to spend large amounts in beautifying the church
when its starves its minister or neglects the
poor Lack OF faithful service cannot De made up
for by the requirements of taste.
Prof. John +. Wier of the Yale Art School and
Rev. Arthur c. A. Hall of Boston spoke, uphold
ing the ideas OF estheticsm.
The halI at the opening of the evening session
was again filled to Its utmost capacity RI Rev.
Bishop Doane of Albany presided. The subject for
discussion was Free Churches" The first paper
was read by John A. Beale of New York. He
treated the matter historically and statsticay and
gave q reYlew Oh tne htroduetloh OF seats INTO
he advocated universally free church.
r. Fulton Cutting of New York said that the
apostolic genius is soon called from his first par
ish to wider field in the cities lured by pros
pect of increased financial return from high
pew-renting churches. God gives genius for the
benefit of humanity but the rich steal this gift
from the poor He thought great wave OF de
mocracy was sweeping over the country and
when the binding mist of prejudice was swept
Rev. John Cotton Brooks of Springfield, Mass,
said the poor of the land are in the hands of the
church for good or evil and in whatever way we
treat them will decide the amount of good or
evil the church is to accomplish. He strongly in
sisted that the pew-rentng system was the only
proper way to maintain the dignity and respect
of the church.
Bishop Doane of Albany then delivered short
eulogy on DR.. Croswell, the original advocate OF
the free-church system.

THE GRANT FUND.
Its Future Disposition Discussed by
the Board of Trustees.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-In response to circular
issued by MI George Jones IA % meeting OF sub sub
in 1881 for the benefit of Gen. Grant was held to-
day at the Office of oliver Hoyt. The object of
the meeting was to determine the future dispoSi-
ton Of the fund Messrs. Hoyt and Jones the
two surviving trustees also desired to be relieved
of further responsibility Mr.. Jones had proxies
from those who had contributed about seven
eghts of the fund, those parties either advising
the transfer thereof to Mrs. Grant or authorizing
Mr.. Jones to use his own discretion. Jay Gould
said when he subscribed $25 900 to the fund it
was with the understanding that it was to be de-
posted with the U. S. Trust Co. and that a meet
ing of the Subscribers was to be called to deter
mine how the money should bel invested. Mr..
Jones said he had no recollection OF any such un-
derstanding. He said this meeting had been call
ed for the purpose OF enabling the SUBSCRIBERS 10
say what they wanted done with the fund. AT no
time since the fund was invested has Gen. Grants
family failed to receive the interest promptly on
the day it was due The bond of the Wabash rail
road in which the greater part OF the fund was In
vested for ten years was guarantee OF the late
Investment perfectly good Mr. Gould remarked
that the fund ought to have been invested IN a
government bond. Mr. Jones said, well it was
Mr.. Gould who told me that those wabash bonds
were good as governments" Mr.. Gould could not
remember he had ever given any such assurance
Mr.; Hoyt explained that 81 900 OF the the $3.50 900
amount was invested in the Wabash bonds and
as money continued to come in gradually 1t was
invested as it was received in Nickel Plate first
mortgage bonds. Messrs. Gould, Huntington and
Dillon expressed desire to chip in and make the
fund $3.50, 900 in reality. Mr.. Gould SAID ne re-
garded the Wabash investment as a good one.
The question as to the disposition of the fund then
arising Mr. Jones explained that Mrs. Grant had
already made will In which she gave this fund
to her daughter and to the wives of her sons
Such disposition of the funds would keep it out
of the hands OF the creditors of Gen. Grants sons
and the latter werelperfectly satisfied with the
provisions of Mrs. Grants will After discussion the
the following resolution was adopted unanimously:
Resolved That the fund be placed in the hands
of the trustees to pay an income to Mrs. Grant
during her life and after her death to the children
of Gen. Grant during their respective lives, and
on their decease respectively that fund to be dis
tributed to their descendants per stripes and not
per capita; that committee of two be appointed
to prepare a trust deed and submit the terms OF
the same to the donors at future meeting to be-
called; that the United States Trust Company act
to be discharged from all further responsibif1ty
and liability; and that Judge Noah Davis and
Henry Day be appointed as a committee to pre-
mare such trust deed.

MIDDLETON, Oct. 22-Public exercises Of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon convention were held this
evening in the North Congregational Church. The
and were given seats in the front. Ex-Gov. Long
of Mass. made the presidents address which was
received with applause, and the next speaker was
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who was very
warmly greeted. He regretted he had no oratlon
worthy Of the time and place. He said he mad
had no conception till within six or seven mohtns
what it was to be in acccrd with the federal gov
ernment The bearing of this was that ne mad
had no time to prepare an address, because ne
had been so bounded by office seekers. de nad
two things to say though, one was what was Illus,
trated by the appearance OF Governor Long and
himself on the same Eplatform, that the star OF
freedom had risen for the country; He alluded
to the Institution of slavery which until few
wears ago held the North and South apart, MADE
a dividing line for men who might agree ON all
other matters. 1t is the mission OF such society
as this to develop the kind of fellow feeling which
knits the country together. Slavery is gone and
am GLAD of it. feel am myself liberated This
country is too great; there are too many interests
bound up in it to be despared Of 1t is lar IN ad-
vance of all other countries, and in all that relates
to real genuine liberty. Whatever danger exists
can only be dispelled by universal education, and
to prevent any i'll from communion be Just and ed
ucate the masses. At the close of his speech
proper Senator Butler told two excellent stories
and told them admirably. Following this came
poem by Julian Hawthorne, which was master,
piece OF its kind. 1t abounded in satire, Wit and
appropriately humorous illusions, and was w1thal
