Episcopal Conference, still in session here, was
finally disposed Of this evening, by expelling
him from the conference and the church He
was charged in the ambiguous or modified Ian
guage Of the ecclesiastical Indictment, with
being guilty of gross outrage,-that outrage
understood to be undue, unchristian, and I'M
civil liberties, towards young woman, in SO
much that the result cast shadows of sin be-
fore the pretended divine. The vote in his
case was 152 for expulsion, to % in the mega
tive. The Bishop read the miserable wolf in
sleeps clothing a seathins admonition, under
which his foul heart WINGED, and he was bid
depart and seek repentance. The accused,
learn, has an amiable wife, who is obliged to
share his modification. If the case be as rep
resented, l am only astOnished that any re-
spectacle member Of the Conference could be
found voting to sustain such n man. OF all
men in the world, a preacher, sc stealing the
