Chicago, Oct. 23.—George H. Bidwell, of this place, has been conducting the Chicago end of Carpenter’s business for the past six years. In an interview he says: •‘I have known Orrin A. Carpenter for a number of years, and have always found him a straightforward, honest man in all his dealings. He is a man of between 45 and 50 years of age, and of medium height. One thing that seemed to mislead the reporters and detectives wag then fact that Carpenter Is hard of bearing, and often misunderstands a question put to him In a moderate tone of voice. He is a man who creates a good impression on those whom he meets. He, or his partner, Esteh, is up here every week, and very often Mrs. Carpenter comes up with her husband. Ho is a good business uian, and has a fortune of $50,000. He was a farmer up to within six years ago; then he went into the elevator business. He is a liberal man, too, and the charge of pejiuriousness, made against him, is the charge of someone who has tried to squeeze money *>nt of ldni for some irregular affair. I never knew him to drink or enter a saloon while here, and I don’t believe a word of the evidence they bring against him. “As for the stains, he is a great tobacco cbewer and expectorates frequently. The Hsains are either tobaecojuice, or else they were put there by someone who seems determined to throw the ortme on him. The detective is not only too vigilant, but he seems to know too much for a man who is working up the case from the outside. Perhaps he knows* more than he will tell. I think that Carpenter’s friends ehoulri now come to the front and see that lie has a fair show, and is not hurried out of the way by purely circumstantial evidence.” Carpenter spends his time behind the bars In walking restlessly up and down the corridor of •h* jail. When he Is not in consnltation with ins attorneys he appears nervous and despondi !it. He eats very little, and only at the request of the turnkey who brings him the food, ills lawyers are very active, and are preparing for a vigorous defense. It is reported that they have already retained ne or two of the ablest criminal lawyers in Chi eago to assist them when the case comes to trial. urnenter's preliminary examination will proba o y not occur until after the coroner’s iimuest i■* (■ver, though au effort may be made to secure his release on a writ of habeas corpus.

TEE EPISCOPALIANS, The Case of Bishop Riley—His Resignation Unanimously Requested. Philadelphia, Oct. 23.—11 l the General Convention of the Protestaut Episcopal Church, House of Deputies, the trustees were named for the ensuing year for the General Theological Beminary. Memorials of deceased members were adopted. Rev. Dr. Bennett, of Southern Ohio, offered a resolution that, the House of Bishops concurring, the sessions of the convention continue for the purpose of considering the report of the joint, committee on the Book of Common Prayer as long as there shall be a quorum iu both bouses, or until the consideration of the report shall have been completed. Objection being made, the resolution was placed on the calendar. A resolution that tho General Convention adjourn on Oct. 26 was referred. The report against tne tentative use of any portion of the Book of Common Prayer was adopted. The report of th* committee on canons, relating to the report of the special committee on Scwanee conference, with regard to work among, the colored people of the South, was taken up. The committee reported that, in their opinion, legislation good might operate for evil. Any legislation by the convention might, be the cause of disaster. The church cannot too earefully avoid drawing the lines of distinction between the diftereut classes. The report contained resolutions recommending that the board of managers of the missionary society be reouested to appropriate as large an amount as possible to the missions of the church among the colored people. A special committee on the Bewanee conference,* iu a report, recommended the adoption of a canon for tlie establishment of separate missionary organizations in different dioceses under the direction of bishops. This was not agreed to. A message from the bishops agreed to coocur with the deputies relative to the division of the diocese of North Carolina. A favorable report was made as to the nomination of Rev. W. 8. Walker as bishop of North Dakota. The two houses met in tlie afternoon as a board of missions. Mr. James Brown, of New York, was re elected treasurer of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society. The bishop of Utah rook The chair, and Bishop Doane presented a report of the Mexico commission, which stated that during 1881 increased dissatisfaction was felt as to the conduct of affairs in Mexico. In October, 1882, the commission expressed to Bishop Riley,in strong language,that it was their opinion that the church should not beealiedon to support the church in Mexico till all the terms of the covenant had been met. A communication was subsequently sent to Bishop Riley by Bishop Lee, in which he stated it appeared to the commission that there had been an apparent want of open dealing with regard to the liturgy, and that its completion was being hindered. There had been also au apparent misappropriation of funds, and several congregations in Mexico bad never received Episcopal visitation. No answer was received to this communication. A telegram was subsequently sent requesting the presence of Bishop Riley In this city, on the 18th fust. On the 16th au answer was received saying Bishop Riley could not leave his work on such short notice. At a meeting of tlie Mexican commission it was concluded that the work could not be carried ou under Bishop Riley, and ou the 9:h be was requested to resign the work. An answer has since been received which seemed to imply that Bishop Riley had resigned. The report stated that th© commission bad been for years supported in a great measure from the Bishop’s own funds. There was si question with the commute© as to the duty of continuing the reform movement in Mexico,* but the commission has not reported what, the method should be. The House of Bishops by a unanimous vote approved the action of the commission requesting the resignation of Bishop Riley, of Mexico, and also recommending that the mission work iu Mexico bo carried on. The question presented for the board of missions seemed to he a confusing one to consider, and finally Van Antwerp, of lowa, moved to lay the whole matter on the table. This was agreed to by a vole of 154 aj es to 90 nays. The board of missions adjourned and the House of Deputies went into secret session and agreed to the nomination of Rev. W. D. Walker as bishop of North Dakota, Tlie House of Bishops accepted the resignation of Bishop Potter as secretary and elected Rev. Dr. Tatlock. The committee on the best methods for increasing the ability and extending the benefits of funds for the relief of i he widows and children of deceased clergymen, recommended that tne proposed benefaction of tlie Bishop of Minnesota he committed to the 'administration of the trustees of the corporation.

Hughes, a Georgia politician, is stopping at the Bates House. In conversation with a Journal reporter, last night, the opinion of tne United States Buprenie Court on the civil-rights act came up. “I am thirty miles southeast of Macon,” said the Colonel, “right in the cotton belt, where the negro population is densest. We were getting along very well with the law, and now, I have no doubt, we shall get along well enough without It. The law was seldom mentioned, and in my section of country I think no case ever came into court. All the good negroes will be satisfied with the decision of the Justices, as, if the annulment of the law will have any effect, it will be to keep down bickering between the two rscea. Ido not think the ebauge will disturb any of our negroes. In my county tlie negro vote is divided, many of them voting the Democratic ticket from preference. I suppose their vote, is influenced much In the same way that a considerable number of voters up here are influenced. The negroes in my section are improving all the time. They have their schools, and are erowing more intelligent and thrifty. Many of them are farming on their own hook. Ob, I know all about negroes: I used to own any quantity of them. The new stock law, doing away with fences, and the prohibition question, are matters of more importance with us thou the civil-rights law. Seventy counties in Georgia have gone for prohibition. I did not vote on the question myself, not being at home ou election day.” Spencer County Derelict. The statistical report from the auditor of Spencer county has not been received yet by the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, although returns from all other counties in the State were in as long ago as three months. The work or the burea has been seriously retarded by tne failure of the auditor to make the report, and it is probable that be will be sued upou his bond for not performing his duties.

THAT EMERSON LETTER. Its Denied Genuineness Established Beyond Doubt—Tlie Full Text of the Epistle. The Boston Transcript having stated positively that Ralph Waldo Emerson’s letter of acceptance, in reply to a call to the pulpit of the Second Unitarian Church of that city, la still on the files of that church, and not in the Indianapolis public library, a Journal reporter yesterday again visited the library to approve his eyesight. The letter was still there in a glass case in the reading room and there can be no doubt of Its genuineness. The paper upon which it is written is a single sheet of unsized paper in good preservation, aud plainly legible, though the ink is not black but rusty. The letter, a donation from John H. Holliday, the editor of the News, was found among his mother’s effects after her death. She bad been, when young, a member of that church and had kept up, until his death, a correspondence with the pastor, Rev. Henry Ware. It is probably that he sent the letter to her as a souvenir of Emerson and many years ago, before Ills letters were the literary treasures they are now held to be. It reads as follows: To the Second Church <k Society in Boston Cambridge 30 January 1829. Christian Brethren & friends I have received the Communication transmitted to me by your Committee, inviting me to the office or Junior Pastor lu your Church & Society. I accept the invitation. If uiy own feelings could have been consulted I should have desired to postpone, at least for several months, my entrance into this solemn office. Ido not now approach it with any sanguine confidence In my abilities, or in my prospects. I come to yon In weakness and not in strength. In a short life I have yet had abundance of experience of the uncertainty of human hopes. I have learned the lesson of my utter dependency, and it is in a devout reliance upon other strength than my own, iu a humble trust in God to sustain me, that I put forth my hand to his great, work. But Brethren, whilst 1 distrust mv powers, I must speak firmly of my purposes. I well know what are the claims ou your parfcto my oest exertions, and l shall meet them, as far as in tne lies, by a faithful performance of duty. I shun no labor, Isball do all that I can. In approaching these duties I am encouraged by the strong expression of confidence & good will I have rec'd from you. lam encouraged by the hope of enjoying the counsel & aid of the distinguished servant of God who has so long labored among y ou. I look to the example of our Lord in all my hopes of advancing the influence of his holy religion & I implore the blessing of God upon this connexion about to be formed between you and myself, I am yr ass frd & svt Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Would Like to Know. ID the Editor oi the fu<Uanam>lls Jonrnai: I would like to know whether the civil-rights law just declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court was not advocated and supported by Republicans only! Did not every Democrat oppose and vote against it! Was not the civilrights law based upon the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States! Was not the fourteenth amendment opposed by every Democrat in both houses of Congress, and by everj- Democrat in the various Legislatures which voted upon the ratification of it! Were not both the civil-rights law and the fourteenth amendment denounced by every Democratic stump-orator as au act of usurpation of power and an infraction of State rights! Did the Democratic party ever acknowledge the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as a matter of principle and of right! Will the Democratic party favor an amendment to the constitution of the United States covering the ground that the civil rights bill was iutended to do, so as to proteot tbo colored people in the rights which the decision has taken away! I have a lew more questions in reserve. N. D. L. Noblesytlle, lnd , Oct. 22. Soldiers and Their Officers. Letter from a Private. Now, if any man ever knew of a general leading or being in advance in a battle, let him come to the front and hold up his hand. I was in a great many battles, and my experience is that commanding officers were not in front, but a long way behind. I could, if necessary, name men who are called generals and colonels at home who never commanded a “ corporal’s guard,” never were worth a nickel to the government; but since the war, during a campaign, how they do halloo and scream. “Come on, boys; vote for us, until the meeting of Old Tennessee. Then stand back. We don’t want to associate with you, but simply want your vote.” I have said enough now. and if you will publish this and get it before the people I will be glad to hear from some of the boys on this question. As for me, I am one of a few of the surviving high privates, and I have no use for any man, nor will I vote for any man for any office, who is a member of the Army of the Tennessee. Probably no private would want to be with them, but it is the disposition of the “critters.” Where Woman Suffrage Is Popular. New York World. The women suffragists have carried Washington Territory. There is consequently joy in tlie heart of Lily Devereux Blake. It seems as if the only 1 ay to get women suffrage carried is to find out some place where there are the fewest possible women. It looks, indeed, as if the members of the Washington Territorial Legislature were making a bid for female immigration. A Too-Prolific Staple. Pittsburg Dispatch. At a private school for boys on Fifth avenue, last Wednesday, the professor was examining a class in geography, and among the questions asked was this: “What is Ohio noted for?” The youngster asked’ promptly replied, “Democrats.” This is reported as a fact. Nil Desperanduin. Pittsburg Dispatch. Mr. John L. Sullivan starled out to study for life as a clergyman, but circumstances diverted him into pugilism, and he is now the champion slugger of the world. This should teach young men that they never need despair of rising to distinction. Condons© aud Save Time. Philadelphia Press. It is respectfully suggested to Monsignor Capel that he shorten the title of his forthcoming pamphlet, to be addressed to the Epi-copal convention, in order that he may be enabled to get the pamphlet published before the convention adjourns. Compliment, to a Congressman-Elect. Michigan City Dispatch (Deni.) Dan. Voorhees’s cub, John Eli Lamb, is still acting the role of a jackass by persisting in his assertion that he will cast his mighty vote for Mr. Randall for Speaker. It will be a cold day when John Eli ceases to be a jackass. _ Disarmament Abroad and at Home. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. We tell the “effete despotisms” of Europe that disarmament would be a good thing for them. A general disarmament of individuals in this country would be hardly less advantageous to our own communities. PILES. A REVOLUTION IN THEIR TREATMENT.
