Colored Delegates Seated.
THE RACE QUESTION IN THE SOUTH CAROLYN
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION DECIDED.


EPISCOPAL CONVENTION DECIDED.
In the South Carolina Episcopal convention
Saturday the question Of admitting the colored
clerical delegates to seats was resumed by Julius
H. Hayward, lay delegate, who desired to
know whether the two colored men, Revs. G. III.
Bishop and T. J. Harper, whom he saw sitting
in the convention, were members. The presid.
Mr.. Hayward moved that the regular order of
business be suspended. The motion was de-
feated; whereupOn Charles Drayton, another
lay delegate, moved that the report Of the COM
lnittee on credentials be confirmed, which the
bishop ruled out of order and refused to enter
tain. ST. Julien Jervey, q lay delegate, appealed
from the decision OF the chair, and argued that
the convention could not proceed to business
until the report was confirmed. In the debate
the clerical delegates held that the bishop has
authority to declare the convention organised
without action ON the report, and his decision
was sustained by vote and the appeal voted
down. Mr.. Jervey entered q protest. Wien
asked II his decision seated the cS@ored dele
gates, the bishop answered 1t did, but, like any
other question, it might he re0pened at any
time.
