from the committee on public buildings. the
first being one for q public building In
Oregon. Fewer members were present
even than on yesterday, and, up TO one
o'clock, when it was announced that the
Chicago convention had recessed, the lew

PROF LANGsToN, one of Gen. Mahone's
colored delegates to the Chicago convention,
in speech 10 that convention, said, There
ara 600 600 of negroes to day in this coun-
try. and they ask you to nominate John
Sherman. All the poorer whites in the
South ask you to nominate him." Now,
the Professor may correctly represent the
negroes of the couutry, and, in view Of Mr.
Sherman's Eliza Pinkston affair, probably
does but that he had not the slightest au
thority to speak for the "poorer whites in
the South" or any Of them, is as we'll known
to him as TO every body else, aud his doing so
was not only great piece of impertinence,
but of insoent impudence, which his discre-
ton would have deferred him from commit
ting in the section of country in which the
people he referred to live.

'TwIxT WIFE AND CHURCHILL Phila.
delphia Yesterday Right Rev. Bishop O. ".


'TwIxT WIFE AND CHURCHILL Phila.
delphia yesterday Right Rev. Bishop o. W.
Whitaker rendered his decision upon the
testimony and finding of the ecclesiastical
court in the trial of Rev. Howard T. Wild
demer, on the charge Of violating the can
ons of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
marrying the second time after having OBJ.
tanned divorce from his fret wife upon
ground other than adultery, and also upon
the charge that Widdemer deceived the late
Bishop Stevens by informing him that the
divorce was obtained on the ground of adul-
terry, when the records of the Superior Court
of New Haven, CT, show that it was grant
ed on the ground Of wilful desertion for more
than three years.
The Bishop decides that the Rev. Mr..
Widdemer is guilty, aud imposes upon him
sentence of suspension from his pastoral
functions until his relations with the present
Mrs. Widdemer are severed, provided that
than Eve years. The Bishop accompanied
his decision by lengthy opinion. setting
forth his views on the merits of the case and
other developments Of the trial. and in
which he severely criticises the course Of
Mr.. Widdemer.
The Bishops action was generally antici-
psted among the leading Protestant Epis-
copal churchmen of the city. The sentence
10 generally regarded as final severance of
Mr.. Widdemer's relations with the church.
He will not sever his relations with his pres
ept wife, and five years separation from
the church means a separation finally and
for good.
