THE CONGREGATIONAL CONTROVERSY.

1t seems to me that while the National COmm.tte,

The Rev. DR. Leon Walker, of Hartford was in favor
Of the resolution. Remarks In favor Of the resolution
we're made by E. II. Ripley and the Rev Dr. Hovey,
of Bridgeport In reply to these, Professor Fisher
said :" 1 am surprised at the rapdity at which con.

There is no such thing as the Congregational Church
There Is Presbyterian Church, Methodist Church
and Eplscopalian Church but there Congress
tional churches. There are two methods of benevo-

sentatves Of the congregational churches This would

Congregational way IS to have voluntary benevolent

MORE INTEREST IN OUTDOOR SPORTS THAN IN
THE RETURNs-FEATURES OF THE
DAYS BALLOTNG.
Bleak weather attended the election in the city
Yesterday but MS the sun shone brightly at times,
the day proved TO be propitious for out-of-door
sports and exercise The public generally gave
more attention TO the holiday attractions than to
discussion or work over the voting 1t was prob
ably the quietest Election Day that New-iork
ever saw: certainly the quietcst one in which in
terests of such decided importance were involved.
The hotels which usually are the resorts Of poll
tcians or eager partisans had comparatively few
visitors In marked contrast to the Presidential
temper of q year ago, where acquaintances or
groups of friends, casually meeting did fall into
discussion of the merits of the issues involved.
the conversation was conducted generally in quiet,
almost Indifferent tones. No disorder Of impor-
tance was reported through the day. and the police
were little taxed beyond the usual holiday ex-
ertions required of them.
All the exchanges downtown were closed; the
Custom House remained open one hour in the
morning TO clear vessels, and one delivery was
made from the iPostoffice. Private business was
generally suspended. and the racing tracks near
the city, the football games and other athletic
contests were well patronized. The local
contests and those in Brooklyn appeared to
attract more interest than the State election, and
there was inquiry, as a rule. for the r3turns
from Ohio and Virginia than for the vote in. New
York State In the evening there was distinct fall
ing of in interest at most of the places where the
election news was received and the celebrations
were of Il comparatively modest character.
