Tne Snatli TamIIm Church Difficult-. Charleston News and Courier. The unfortunate schism in the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina appears to have been widened and aggravated rather than closed or healed by the proceedings at the con vention o' the church held at Ander son. Heretofore, while the contest has been technically waged on the question of clerical privilege, it has appeared that the real question was as to the right or wrong of admitting persons of color to seats in the Dio cesan Convention. Such was the situation prior to the meeting of the Anderson Convention. The Anderson Convention has changed the aspect of the fight, and for ' the worse. The clerical -offer of compromise to the laity was to the effect that whits they airreed that the association of persons of color irfTte church leg islation was verfsbjecfcipnable, and eTwSSe' mBistuTg Xm "twSr cfeuricaV privilege they wouldMcallin their power to obviate thiB consequence of it to which the laity so strenuously object and which they theniBelyes de plore. They believed that the col ored churchmen themselves concurred in this view, and while they could not compel them to form a separate or ganization they would invite mem so to do, ana they believed they would comply." The result leaves the lAocese m a worse , condition man oeiore. i xue settlement or continuation of the schism is absolutely in the hands of ... .i 1 mi the colored churchmen.

Taylorsville Journal, j The moving question of j the day among Democrats is who is going to be nominated lor uovernori it is one more easilylasked than answered. The three leading names are Stedman, Fowle and Alexander. The strength of the two first is nearly equally bal anced when the whole State is taken in one view; but each has decided preponderance in some Bection in which the other is comparatively weak. Alexander manifests a strength that may be formidable to bis oppo nents. It is not altogether certain that either of the three will receive the honor. Bui of one thing we fee sure, that whoever is selected as the standard bearer of the Democratic party, he will bear it gallantly, and will be equal y as gallantly supported The republicans seem to have cen tered upon Docker;, which means an active bitter partisan campaign on their side. Asaeville Citizen. It appears now from the best in formation that we can get that Fowle will go into the Convention with the rotes of the central and northwestern part of the State. That is the votes of the counties around Raleigh and north of the North Carolina and the Western North Carolina railroads to Asheville, and part of the extreme "Eastern counties. Stedman will have the votes of the Cape Fear section, and the counties along the railroad from Wilmington to Goldsboro and from Goldsboro to Sew lierne, up the Carolina Central and the coun ties beyond Asheville in the West. In our judgment there will not be a verv great difference in the first vote of these two leading candidates. Al exander will start with some votes from all sections of the State, and will have sufficient strength to pre vent a nomination on the first few ballots. What will take place wten the break begins no man can now tell. The lucky man may Dei owie, may be Stedman, may be Alexaieivand may be some dark horse. In tie lat ler case Judge Gilmer would most likelv be the man, and a strong can did&ta and excellent Governor he would be. Newton Enterprise. CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY IS SENATE AND HOUSE.

The pending bill was one of such measures. It went on the theory that the people of the States were not capable of managing their domestic affairs, were not capa ble of passing laws to secure health. and the management of. the stock must do what the people were not ca pable of doing. Sir. Coke also made an argument against the bill but yielded the floor without concluding his remarks. The Senate then went into execu tive session, and at 5-10 adjourned. HOUSE.

A majority of the opponents of the measure refrained from voting. Mr. Blanchard briefly explained the changes in the bill, stating that the aggregate appropriation of the bi d was only $25,000 greater than it was when the bill was last considered in committee of the whole.

CBATIC MEMBERS IS EXPECTED TO AC COMPLISH REPUBLICANS UNITING. Washington Star (Ind.) The House is getting weary of the tariff discussion. Even Mr. Wilson, whose speeches always co'mmand at tention, did not secure a full attend ance today, though the Democrats made a point, as far as possible, to be in their seats. The indications are that by the time the seventeen days of general debate are exhausted there will be very uttle spirit for a pro tracted discussion under the five min ute rule. Is is anticipated that a large number of amendments will be offered bv the opposition, but the line of action mapped out by the leaders of the Democracy on the floor will tend to seoure a rote as promptly as possible. They calculate that thev may be able to secure a vote within two weeks after the close of the general debate. 'The proposition for a caucus upon the bill is not to consider certain amendments that the ways and means committee is inclined to accept. The purpose is to consider all amend ments .oflered by members in tne caucus. Any amendment that a Democrat proposes will then be con sidered and the result oi the vote, it is designed, shall be binding upon the party. When an amend ment is adopted in caucus the ways and means committee and the rest will feel bound to vote for the amend ment in the House. When an amend ment is rejected by the caucus the amendment will bo opposed by tne party in the House. The purpose is to set le all internal dineronceo in caucus bo as to secure penect nar- mony within the party on the floor. It is expected that some members will not be bound by tee caucus, bui these the friends of the bill believe will be too few to effect the results. This line of action, it is thought, will shorten the time necessary to be taken up with amendments. The friends of the bill assert that the bill has grown in strength under discussion, and that they will hold enough Democrats to pass the bill, not counting a few Republicans whom they believe will vote with them. The Renub Leans have not succeeded in uniting upon the proposition for a repeal of the sugar tax and a bounty, but some members who have been op posed to any reduction in the tax on whisky say now what they expect that the party will agree with a rea sonably near approach to unanimity upon this course of reduction of in- I terns! revenue.
