The whlg Governor of Pennsylvania.

This rara apis, Wing Governor of Pennsylvania,
exists in the person of the present incumbent JOHN
SON, who is now a candidate for reelection. Last
winter act passed by the Legislature of Penn
sylvania repeating the sixth section of the kdnap
ping act Of lS47 which prevented the iais of that
State from being used for the custody of fugitves
from labor The repeal of this section was but car
rying out the spirit of the compromise measures of
Congress, and yet Gov, JOHNSON pocketed the BILL and
still retains it unsigned in his possession 1t is said
that he exhibits the unsigned bill to the Free Soil
ers and pledges himself to sign while to the
opposite party he exhibits the bill, and swears
by all that is holy that his signature shall be ap-
pended to it as soon as he is reelected This is elec-
pioneering with vengeance, and it is disgrace to
the Wing party throughout the country, that this
notorious trckster and Abolitionist is the acknowl
edged leader of the Wing party in the great State
of Pennsylvania.

of the country is in full activity. under the influence
of that benifcent measure, the tariff of 1916 The
predictions of its enemies in respect to its effects
both upon the revenue and business of the country
have been completely falsifed
Always heretofore, there has been heavy balance
of imports exports at the port of New York the
difference being adjusted by the purchase of bills
from the South drawn against shipments of cotton.
The imports and exports at New York seem now to
be nearly equally balanced This is attributable in
part to the fact that have now in the gold of Cal
ifornia entirely article of export but in part
also to the fact that the dminuton of restrictions
upon trade enables us to sell abroad a greater
amount of all the products of domestic industry than
ever before.-Bangor Democrat.
From the New York Tribune.
"The exports of domestic produce for April show
very gratifying increase over April of last year,
and the previous month of this year. This fact
combined with the fact that the April imports of
dry goods million of dollars less than in April
1850, gives rise to hopes that the trade will become
more equal and the export of coin perhaps be stop

four wears are as annexed

EpiscopaI Convention.


This Ecclesiastical body met in ST. Johns Church
| in this town, Wednesday morning last. The
Bishop of the Diocese and % Clergymen with As Lay
Delegates, representing "a Parishes, were present
This attendance was much more full than has ever
BEFORE we believe, been known in the Diocese
This was caused by the troubles which have &C.
Cured within the last three years in regard to an
alleged Romish tendency in the teachings and prac-
tees of the Bishop and some of the Clergy,chiefy
or altogether those brought here from ether States
The Bishop has made to this Convention full and
most emphatic retraction of all those offensive doc
trines and practices which he attributes mainly to
violent diseases which Frustrated his mental and
physical system.
While we write this, Con Monday,) proposition
is pending to appoint Assistant Bishop.
The discussions in the Convention have been ear
nest interesting and sometimes excited. The prin-
cpal speakers have been, of the Clergy Rev Messrs
Watson, Huske, Smedes, Geer, Johnson and Nc
Rae Of the Laity, Hon. Geo. E. Badger, Hon. Ro-
bert Strange j. II. Haughton, Josiah Collins, DR.. F.

1t not our habit in this political e'es paper, to
enter minutely into the detail of Ecclesiastical af
fairs And we in this instance for de-
parting from cur we'll settled practice.
P. S. The resolutions in regard to an Assistant
Bishop have been withdrawn, and a satisfactory
rangement of all difficulties has been unanimously
agreed to- under circumstances of impressive solem-
nifty.
| The Convention adjourned yesterday at 5. P NJ,
after most affecting address from Bishop ives, and

Increase.

The imports of dry goods in April were S4.3O8, AS
against s5201 $50 in April 1880 showing decrease
of 1902 1892 and reducing the increased imports of
the year to S3,989,350, or less than million per
month.
The export of specie from New York during the
first quarter of the present year, amounted to ST.
responding quarter of 1850, amounted to but little
more than million. But after allowance for that
fact it will be that the exports of domestic pro-
duce and merchandise were greater in the first quar-
ter of 1851 than in the first quarter of last year by
the large sum Gin round numbers) of SEVEN MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS

THE Force OF ExAMPLE.-At St. Louis, lately, a
small boy who had been'to witness Magican's per-
Torrance, including the pretended cutting off and
restoration of the of of the audience, went
home and tried to perform the trick with his little
sister, whose nose he nearly amputated with car
wing knife The cries of the little girl brought
sistance before the nose quite gone.
THE METHODIST CHURCH CAsE.-The arguments
in this case have been concluded. Judge NELSON,
of the Supreme Court of the United States, before
whom it was tried, reserves the case fer consdera-
ton. 1t will be some time before the decision be
given. The Judge advises amicable settlement
best for the interest of christianity and the Metho
dist church We hardly think there is any chance
of compromise. 1t looks hard that two ligious
bodies should require to be taught christian feelings
and mutual forbearance by a Judge of the law but
unfortunately such is the in the present instance

TIE ELECTION.

Election days like all other days, come and
go. The election for this year has passed, and
the character of our State policy is fixed Cor
two years. The election of Mr.. Farwell is ac-
knowledged on all sides, and the triumph seems
to be glory enough for one election. The dem
ocrats seem to have felt so confident in their
power, that they nsulted the people by a nomi-
nation eminently unfit to be made, and the peo-
pie have Indignantly repealed the insult. We
say free soil Governor for Wisconsin is glory
enough for one day.
Mr.. Sholes is also elected from this district.
Considering the amount of labor and effort ex-
pended in opposition to him. this, also, is glo-
rious result.
If this district is always as we'll represented
as it can be by Mr. Sholes, We shall never need
fear for our honor or blush for our shame.
Politics have had little to do with this cleo
tlon-local feeling, personal labor, personal likes
and personal dislikes have accomplished with
with the other natura! appliances, the whole re-
suit. Mr., Sharpsten has been elected By his
own hard labor and the betrayal of the wing can
didate by his former parIizans.
Mr.. lInsdale was elected County Treasurer
The result is not different than we expected
when we heard of his nomination. And as we
said last week, we are satisfied that better man
in the wing party could not be found.
The election in this county, as we said before,
indicates nothing of the character Of the politics
of the county. Some reasons induced one in
dividual to support one man, and some another,
Mr. Sholes was nominated by the free sellers,
and has always been knownas such. Mr.. Hins-
dale has always been wing. And Mr.. Sharp
stein has been free soer until his recent sup
port Of Upham. He says he has not changed
his politics, he is, therefore, one ILL., So the
hunkers have nothing to crow over in the matter
of this election. Next fall political matters will
assume character, and men will be ready to
fight for principles irrespective of localities or
men.

The Purchnsc Os Cuhn.

The late lawless and disastrous attempt to
revoIutonze Cuba, has revived the project OF
purchasing it, as was contemplated during Mr..
Folks administration. We observe in several
Of our exchanges, speculations upon the proba-
bility of obtaining it from Spain for fair equiya-
lent in cash. We published yesterday an ex-
tract from a London paper, which intimates that
negotiations are actually pending between our
government and that OF Spain, for the purchase.
We do not believe there is a word of truth in
this report; bat it is pretty evident we think.
that the wire workers of the Democratic party,
are playing n deXterous game, with a view to
mix up with the next Presidential election, the
question of the acquisition Of Cuba, by fair means
or foul.

LARGEST Pile OF SPECIE IN THE WORLD
According 10 a recent return of the Bank of
France, the specie on hand amounted to Coz
00o,000 of francs, which is about Sll5.0O0.0O0.
This. we believe, Is the largest amount of spe-
Gle ever collected together. The bank of Eng
land has not had at any time. over 500 00O.-
GOO
In France, the legal currency is silver, and
not gold; hence, it is probable tha; nearly all
this specie Is silver and hence the recent dim
inution Of silver in this country
The enormous accumulation of silver in the
Bank OF France j. regarded as an unfayorable
symptom Of her trade ; for the discounts and
circulation of the bank have diminished. Hence
trade is starnant 1t is probable that the fear
of political CONFUSION at the next presidential
election. operates powerfully upon the Bank and
upon merchants. to restrain them from any ex-
