TRIAL OF BISHOP DoANE.-Iti is stated that the
Bishops oVirf ginia, Ohio and Maine, have come
to the conclusion to present for trial Bishop Doane
of New Jersey. While the Council of Bishops
were in session ut St. Johns Chapel, N. Y, on
Thursday, appointing delegates to the contemplate
ed jubilee celebration, in London, Ito be held on
the 5th of June,) there came missives to them
from the Senior Bishop, calling a meeting of the
board, on June Oath, at Camden in the diocese of
the accused. The result is that Bishops Delan-
cey and McCrosky will probably not go to Eng
land, in fulflment of their appointment. It is
rumored that Bishop Hopkins, of VT, for private
reasons, has determined not to sit on Bishop
Doane's trial, and it suggested that he will thus
be available as delegate to the forthcoming con-
vocation in London.

William M. Gouge, Esq, writer on finance
and currency, has recently addressed letter t
the Hon. r. M. T. Hunter, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Finance, in which he OPP
poses the proposition to reduce the weight of the
silver coins of the United States. He argues that
silver is better standard of money than gold, be
cause it is the standard of all commercial coun-
tries except England because the attriton is less,
and because there is less temptation to counter
felt it. He thinks that the system of reducing
both the gold and silver coins alternately they
comparatively depreciate, is bad one. As we
began, he says, so we ought to continue; and if
any change is made it ought be in the gold coin
age as a subsidiary currency.
Mr. Gouge's letter is dated at Austin, Texas,
and appears in the Texas State Gazette.

the Wings of the South possess sufficient seeu-

member this, and prudent to reflect that the ul-
traasm which presses even Truth itself out of sea-

hundred lrlshmen, and one hundred Americans

and commenced gesticulating violently in some
foreign tongue. The captain Immediately com
munlcated to the cabin passengers his belief that
the riot had come to head and that no time
was to be lost. They had hardly armed themselves
when large crow marched up the companion

The RANDOLPH NEeRoEs.-A writer in the

gives the following account of the Randolph ne
groes, who, it will be remembered were driven

place and Piqua. Along the canal are maiori-
ty of the Randolph negroes. 1t was in the ad-
joining county cf Mercer that the large tract of
land was purchased for their, settlement, from
which they were forciby elected by the white
inhabitants. The condition of these poor crea-
lures is bad commentary on the miserable poll
cy of emancipating andallowing them to remain
in this country. The majority of these once val
liable servants are now worthless beasts upon the
