A very remarkable paper on the
race question at the south has Just
been pubushed IN tne New York
World. The author. Mr.. John T.
Shenen, is a man of color who has
achieved education and professional
success by his own efforts. He is q
college graduate, lawyer and evil
denlly a man accust omed to think for
himself. He is the author of south.
ern romance, and he may be said to
be the first of his race 50 take 8 rank
in popular literature. His protest
against the advice given to the ne
groes of the south by eolored preachers
and others at the north is vigorous
and strongly reasoned. His statement
of the existing situation, his analysis
of the causes of trouble, his frank
testimony as to the goodwill and JUS
tice Of the whites, his insistance upon
industry, patience, good conduct and
perfectly friendly relations with the
whites as the road by which the negro
may emancipate himself from igno'
rance, poverty and dependance-all
these things, coming from such a
source, will be read with interest and
should be pondered with profit by
those who regard a state of war as
existing between s uthern whites and
blacks, and still more by those who
are persuaded thar a state of war
ought to exist.

ROYALTY HOBNOBBING.
Alexander and William Interchange Formal
COurtesies.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE car, accompan-
led by the Grand Duke George, arrived
here this morning. Emperor William,
several of the royal princes, Prince Bis
marck, Count Herbert Bismarck and a
number of generals and court officials re-
ceived the car and grand duke at the
station. Emperor William and the car
embraced repeatedly. After the members
of the cars suit were presented to the
suit of Emperor William the party pro-
ceeded to state carriages and drove to the
Russian embassy. On the way there
post of artillery fired salute of 10l guns.
The streets along the route were plenti-
fully decorated with flags and bunting
but the crowd which had gathered did not
cheer Emperor William took his de-
parture from the Russian embassy after
remaining there but few minutes.
Prince Bismarck remained and held con-
versation with the car lasting twenty
minutes longer. The car took luncheon
with the German officers forming his
especial suit.
The czar and Emperor William attended
dejeuner given by the Russian ambassa-
dor this morning. Count Schouraloff
presided. Count SchouraIoff raising his
glass welcomed the car and called for
three cheers for his majesty. There was
hearty response and the band of the Alex
auder regiment played the Russian ma
tional anthem. The car. speaking in
French, toasted Emperor William. The
two emperors conversed during the repast.
Emperor William left the am bassy at 1880
p. III.
In the afternoon the car drove out in An
open carriage surrounded by cavalry. He
visited the Empress Augusta Frederick.
On returning TO the embassy the car re-
tired for "A short time for rest and quiet.

and remained in conference with the car
until 6 o'clock. \ dinner IN honor of the
car was given this evening in the white
hall of the schloss, at which 40 covers
We're laid. The car dressed in the Uhlan
uniform, sat between the emperor and the
empress facing Prince Bismarck. The
emperor in toasting the car said: Il
drink to the welfare of my honored friend
and guest, the emperor of Russia, and TO
the continuance of the friendship which
has subsisted between our houses for over
a hundred years, and which am resolved
to cherish as a legacy from my ancestors"
The car, replying in French, thanked
the emperor for his friendly sentiments
and drank to his welfare Turning then
to Prince Bismarck the car raised his
glass and drank to the chancellor, who
stood up, emptied his glass and bowed
deeply. There was a similar exchange of
courtesies between Emperor William and
the Russian ambassador

HYMNALs UNDER p,scussioN.

NEW YORK, Oct 11.-When. the roll call
of committees was read today in the gen.
eral convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal church, Rev. DR.. Benedict, chairman
of the committee on constitutional amend
ments, submitted a report that the COM
mittee on constitutional amendments
deem it inexpedient to make any change
in the representation to the general con-
ventiOn, or to make any change in the
method of voting Placed on the calen-
dar.
The subject of the report on proportion
ate representation, aud to which it is OPP
posed, IS one of the most important to be
acted upon by the present convention.
Resolutions of regret for the death of
Bishop Vail of Kansas, and Of apprecia-
ton for his memory, were adopted by a
standing vote. The house then took up
the order of the day, the report on hymn
ais.
The report was in favor Of several
changes in the present hymnal, compris-
ing omissions, substitutions and additions
the house then went into committee of
the whole to consider the report.
AT the afternoon session the announce
ment was made that committee of the
whole was incompetent to revise the hymn
nal. and it was again referred to the house
of bishops. A resolution that the matter
be referred to a special committee, and
that hymns in the hymnal reported to be
authorized for use stand until the next
general convention. was adopted.
The house of bishops sent message in
forming the house of deputies that they
declined to adopt the alterations suggested
in the TIE Deum. They would, however,
amend title 1, section 2, of the constitution
agreeing to the election of bishop three
months after the general convention.
They also said they had not fully consid-
cred the matter of consecrating new bish-
ops in the dioceses Of Missouri and Cali
fornia.

advance. Harry Wilkes, however, soon
took the lead but at the quarter was only
neck ahead. Both were trotting per-
fectly. Going into the back stretch the
mare shot out like an arrow and at the
half was nearly two lengths ahead. Be
tween the half and the three-quarters the
gelding closed up the gap, but only on
sufferance.
Rounding the stretch they were nearly
nose and nose. Everybody with abared
breath watched the drivers urge the fast
trotters. The whip was used on Harry
Wilkes frequently. but to no purpose. The
mare won easily. Time 1854.
The first attempt at scoring saw the
trotters under the wire in start devoid of
favor to either. Neither made break at
the eighth; the mare was three-quarters
of length in the lead and going easily; at
the quarter there was no change but be-
tween there and the half Harry lessened
the space of daylight between himself and
the mare; coming up the hill it was neck
aud neck, but in the stretch Andrews let
the mare out and she won the heat and
race in a jog Wilkes was under the whip
in the finish but he was no match for
