C0UNCILSOF CHURCHMEN
VIRGINIA EPISCOPALIANS OPPOSE
A NEW NAME.

The Agitation of the Proposition De-
clared to Have Already Retarded the
Interests of the Denomination
Keeping the Races by Themselves
Proceedings of the Presbyterians.
STAUNToN, VA, May 1S.-In the Vir-
ginia Protestant Episcopal Council to-day
the following action was taken on the
proposition to change the name Of the
church,:
WHEREAS, A persistent effort is being made
TO change the name of our church, which our
forefatherS with one consent recognized and
bequeathed to us; and
WHEREAS, Agitation of this subject in our
general conventions has already produced wide
spread apprehension in the Protestant world
around us, and in our opinion retarded the
growth and impaired the strength of our church
throughout the country; therefore, be it
Resolved That the Protestant Episcopal diO-
cese of Virginia holds fundamental and positive
principles of Professionalism with the faith of
the gospel and, therefore, lovingly appeals to
her sister doceses to oppose the effort TO ex-
punge the words Protestant Episcopal, " either
from the name of our church or the title page
of our prayer book, as fraught with the gravest
danger to its unity.
q That the bishop be requested to furnish
copies of the foregoing preamble and resolu-
tions to the bishops and councils Of the respec-
tive dloceses OF the church.
THE COLOR QUESTION.
On the question of the relations between
the white and colored races in the church,
the committee reported changes in the CON
stitution by inserting the word white" be-
fore the word ministers wherever it occurs,
and white" before the word layman, so as
to make the constitutional provision give to
the diocesan convention a composition of
white ministerial and lay delegates. Upon
vote by orders the report was adopted
as follows: Clerical-ayes 63, noes 19;
lay-ayes 81, noes H. This alteration must
go to each parish to be acted on by them,
and 1t will come up for final action in the
next council

Virginia and Georgia railroad for the re-
covery of about SIS. 900 worth of property

Judge Speer to DR.. L. B. Clifton, the regu-
lar court examiner, to examine into the
correctness of the accounts, cts. Receiver
Baldwin will proceed TO sell the stock and
turn the money into the United States
court, where it will be passed upon by Mas
ter Speer and held for division among the
creditors. A new feature has been intro
duced in the case, viz, that of homestead
byJ. T. Galloway.
A POSTAL CASE.
The United States Court was en-
gagged to-day in the. trial Of the
case of the Government against
Rudolph Dennick, railway clerk, charged
with embezzlement. This case has attracted
much attention. Inspector Hancock sus-
pected Dennick and mailed a decoy letter
two or three years ago at Gordon,
addressed TO the Travellers Insur-
ance Company at Pittsburg, Pa,
and placed therein s. bill.
Inspector Hancock got on the same train
that was bearing the letter, and claims that
on the road between Macon and Atlanta
the letter was found tampered with, having
been in possession Of Dennick. A case was
made against Dennick His friends think
that he has been more sinned against than
SHINING The case was not finished, and
will be argued tomorrow on the point
whether or not decoy letter can be strictly
considered letter. There the case hinges.
Judge Speer expressed a desire to hear the
lawyers on that question.
