BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct, 2.-The two.mast
schooner, George @. Finney, with a
cargo of 10000 bushels Of wheat from
Toledo, encountered a waterspout while
of Port Colborne yesterday, and when
II left her she was barely afoat. The
foremast was gone to the deck, the main
mast was broken of half way down and
the jib boom was twisted out. OF the
sails only the mainsail was saved. II
was q gusty and nasty day on the lake
all day. Watenpouts were numerous
The crew Of the FInney say they had
already avoided four when the fifth one
struck them. This one came up Just
under the stern Of the schooner and
tossed her about just like an egg shell
The schooner at first on her bow, in O
moment was stern down, while hel
spars were crashing on ever side. One
Of her yards was driven down through
the deck deep into tho grain, and the
cargo ia supposed 10 be considerably
damaged. The propeller Parnell saw
the casualty and turned about. When
she reached the Finney the waves were
breaking over her, and Captain Griffin
thinks that she would have gone down

IRIHNNAL CONVENTION
OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church in Session.
MOST IMPORTANT MEETING
For Many Years-Amoug olheF
Things a Change of Name to be
oonsidered-ImpressIve Open
ing ofthe Session Yesterday

NRw YoRE, Oct, 9,-Ths General Con
yentlOn Of the Protestant Episcopa
Church Of America, held every threu
years. edthismorningin St, George
Church, stuyyesant Square. This 4
looked upon as one Of the most notable
conventions ever held by the church ii
this country, This is the centennial an
nlversary Of the adoption Of the cousti
tuition Of the Protestant Eplscopa
Church, and Of the holding OF the frsl
general convention as prescribed by thai
constitution. 1t Is also notable from the
number Of important subjects to come
up before the convention. One Of the
questions to be settled is the proposed
change OF name Of the church, many be-
ing opposed TO the present name. An
other important question is that Of pro-
portiOnal representation, There are also
eighteen resolutions proposing "altera.
tiOns and additions In the book Of com.
mon prayer" which were adopted In
the Chicago convention three years ago,
and which will come up before the pres
ent convention for final action. The
General Convention consists ot two
houses, the House Of Bishops, number.
ing forty Bishops, and the House Of
Deputies, consisting OF over 400 lay and
clerical delegates, two Of each from each
diocese, The convention opened to-
day with religious exercises, the regu.
lar morning communion service being
celebrated.
IMPRESSIVE OPENING.
At1l o'clock every seat in the church
was occupied. While the large assem-.
blage sat patiently waiting the opening
OF the service there rose softly at first
and then growing stronger, the clear
voices ol St, Georges choir OF boys and
men, The choir marched down the
center aisle TO the entrance, and was

Of Bishops, had assembled in the Memo.
rial House on Sixteenth street, and from
1t they marched in procession, clad in
their silk gowns, lawn sleeves and other
insignia Of their Episcopal dignity.
They were met at the entrance TO the
church by the clergy OF the committee
on arrangements and the choir Of men
and boys, The choir singing, the pro.
cession marched slowly back to the
ChanCel, followed by tho bishops. The
latter arriving at the chancel took seats
within 1t, At their head there walked
Bishop Williams, the oldest bishop Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in
America. The simple and well known
morning service was then begun and
proceeded until Bishop Whipple, Of
Minnesota, ascended the pulpit To-
preach the sermon OF the day.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-The follow

executive mansion and Immediately re-
ferred to the Indian bureau:
Denver, Col, Aug. %, 1SS9.-His Excel
lency, the President: l am in receipt of the
following communication by mail signed by
forty-seven citizens of Routt county, Col
orado, adjoining the Utah reservation:
1.-THE undersigned citizens OF Routt county
the Ute Indians from White Rocks reserva
ton come into North county to hunt They
slaughter the deer. kill and eat
our cattle and steal our horses
They have permits from the agents for
thirty and sixty days; some to Diamond
mountain, some to Becol basin, Browns
park and Douglass springs, etc. They, to
gether with their innumerable ponies and
horses, have become nuisance Whlcn we
cannot longer peaceable endure. We respect
fully request your honor to try and prevent
their coming into Routt county again. We
refer you to j. G. johnson, of Littleton, as TO
our statement"
have to advise that our people of that re-
gion have. suffered SO much in life and
property from these predatory Indians that
they are in no temper to put up with their
menacing presence again. and nothing but
prompt and effective action on the part OF
the federal government will prevent trouble.
If they are there by the fault OF the federal
government the action of the agent in giving
them permits is, in view of the danger,
a most indefenslble crime and should be
properly rebuked. Your exeeliency Will
have better means CT gaining official informa-
ton than l concerning their absence from
the reservation, and earnestly urge you to
take steps to recall them before trouble en-
sues. j. A. COOPER, Governor"
Upon the recommendation of the In
dian bureau, this telegram has been re-
ferred to the war department for such
action as may be deemed proper.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

1t seems to be the intention of the
president. so far as he understands it
himself, to convene congress in special
session about the Doth of October. He
intimates this to individual members,
while avoiding any public commjttai as
long as possible, to be sure that it will
be safe for the party. The smallness
of the party majority induces timidity.
The hope of gaining seat from the
three Democrats who died is about dis
sipated, but the efforts of the admins
tration are still directed to the Louisiana
vacancy to be filled in a week Or two.
The new states vote Oct. l, and it is be-
lieved the members will be ready to vote
in Washington in twenty days. They
are expected to bring the major
ity up to six. This will do to
organize with, but is too small
for the heavy, regular party work.
To relieve any embarrassment from
shortage in votes two measures are pro-
posed. The first is to change the rules.
1t is true they were right and met the
Republican needs when that party was
in the minority, but now that it has the
majority the chances for the minority to
obstruct measures must be removed. 1t
is probable that the Democrats will not
readily acquiesce in this change. A
further object in view is to expedite the
appointment of committees in order to
add eight or ten more Republicans from
the South in place of Democrats re-
moved in the early part of the session.

THE TIME TO SOW.

There is no election in Missouri this
year, and nothing in the local situation
to give special activity to the political
mind, yet in one of the purely agri-
cultural sections of the state one day
this week the announcement of tariff
reform picnic called out the farmers
from all the region. 1t was apparently
such a turnout as is only had in the
heat of a political campaign usually.
The management originally comprised
men of both parties, but the Repub-
llcans received instructions to avoid all
participation. But the intelligent peo-
pie came out and heard an able pres
entation of the subject. Other gather
ings of a like character are being held
in that state. aud one in Indiana re-
Gently drew great audience. 1t would
be well If such meetings could be held
all over the country. The people are
interested, and can consider the subject
now without the partisan distraction of
a political campaign. 1t is good time
to sow the seed.

THE SUPPRESSED VOTES.

The readers of Republican literature
only are very apt to have an idea that
voting in the South is about all confined
to white people and Democrats. The
suppressed vote" is the ready solution
Of any shortage in Republican attain
ment. An examination and comparison
of the figures with Republican and
Northern states will add to a correct
understanding of the facts. The states
that have the largest proportion of col
ored voters are Alabama, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and
Arkansas. Two of them have an excess
of colored votes. At the presidential
election last year only Is per cent of the
males of voting age are found in the
vote cast. At the same election the six
New England states cast SO per cent of
their vote; Rhode Island gave but As
per cent, the same as Louisiana;
Massachusetts, 60 per cent, and
Mr.. BLAINE's state but 81 per
cent. This is far below the other
Northern states. Indiana, which is the
phenomenon at voting, gave SO per
cent; Minnesota 90 per cent; and the
average of the Northwestern states was
80 per cent, against the GO in New
England. The ten other Southern
states cast 70 per cent of their vote,
while Pennsylvania only reached rs.
1t is admitted that in the six cotton
states neither whites nor blacks seem
to have done very heavy voting, al
though 230,92S of the latter did vote;
but they had an example set them in
the Eastern States where the the Re-
publican party runs everything. Vast
sums of money were spent there in oil
ing the wheels of reform, but look at
80 per cent of suppressed vote in Rhode
Island, SO in the home of BLAINE, HALE
and great men generally, 40 per cent in
Massachusetts, where intelligence and
liberty have been enthroned; and even
in the ruggel land of EDMIJNDs,
where Democrats are curiosities,
there is 81 per cent of the "sup-
pressed" vote. There are fewer voters
in these states who can't read their
ballots than in the South, and yet but
63 out OF 100 voters are able to exercise
the right of suffrage. While investiga-
ton is had as to why 57O,44 colored
votes III the South are not cast, the in
quiry may be extended to the 4SS, 1855
white men in New England who did
not vote. Not much is expected from
the illiterate custodianS of the public
veal in the cotton and rice regions; but
is there not occasion for alarm when
nearly halfmillion of the intelligent
citizens who have been nurtured in the
admonitlon of BLAINE. BUTLER and
the oracles of the faith, do not exercise
the right of freemen when votes are
quoted at 50 and upwards?

AN EXPERIMENT.

Michigan has tried to do without
hanging good many years, and there
is a growing disposition to return to the
old way of occasionally inflicting CAPT
tai punishment. 1t is stated by the
papers of the state that there is an
alarming prevalence of murder, and it
is coming to be believed that imprison-
ment for life has less terror for the
criminal than the death penalty. The
penitentiaries are becoming crowded,
and executives are quite as free to eX-
ercise clemeneyas in other states. 1t is
probable that the experiment of i'm
prisonment in place of hanging will
soon be abandoned as not satisfactory.
1t is question of policy and advantage
to society solely. The murderer for
feits is right to live when he takes
the life of another. 1t is not matter
for sentimentality or consideration for
the slayer. The ancient decree is still
in force
