proposition would 90 to the Committee on Ca
mons. He knew of an instance where an AS
sistant Bishop could not be elected under the
general canon, and Il special canon was obtain
Ell for the purpose. lie thought it would be
better to repeal he general canon and provide
special canon for each specific case rs il should
arise.
\ message from The House of Bishops was
here received, which the reporter could not
hear sufficiently well to learn lis import.
Rev. DR. Mead explained what would be the
effect of the repeal Of this canon. Whenever
Bishop proclaimed himself disabled, he could
come to the General Convention once in three
years and have special canon granted giving
him an Assistant bishop for three years. In
the case Of a Provisional Bishop for New York
q special canon was provided, and he thought
! that, by making each case the subject Of a >pe-
cial act, the evil o! Assistant. Bishops might, to
certain extent, be avoided; for It was an evil,
as must be admitted He thought it would
provide greater security to the church, and III
all events, it could Go 10 harm to have the sub.
,ect referred TO the Committee on Canons.
Mr.. Chambers, OF Md, was surprised that
objection should be made, or that discussion
upon the merits OF the question should be gone
into, on a proposition to refer thus subject to
the Committee on Canons. For his part, he
was ready 10 refer any proposition that should
be made bv any member Of the Convention,
unless it should be one manieSt!v Improper. to

The proposition was referred to the Commit

THE ALLENTOWN DEMOCRAT comes to us
with a now hesa aud ne~. dsese. IN honor
of the "hrst appearance" of its new editor,
C. F. Haines, Esq, who "defnes his posi-
ton" in wellwriiten introductory article,
from which we extract the following sensi-
ble paragraph:
"The Lecompton issue we regard as dead
a by.g overwhelmingly disposed of by the
President, Congress, and the people of Kan
sas, and we can perceive no sufficient
ground for present or future division among
Democrats on the slavery question. Let
the platform oI the party which recognizes
the Constitution as the supreme law in
States and Territories, on thus and all other
national questions, be faithfully adhered to,
and the Democracy of the North and the
South, and the East and the West, will
again he one Approving o! the general
policy, foreign and domestic, of President
Buchanan's Administration, which has met
with full and hearty endorsement from the
Democracy of our own and sister States, and
believing it TO he devoted 10 the welfare
and honor of the nation, The right and inter-
ests of all sections, the Democrat will give
it q cordial and earnest support. We re-
gard the Cincinnati platform as expressing
the tenets of the party, and whoever stands
thereon we deem political brother"
While reiterating our regret at the re-
tirement oi Mr.. Haunum-an industrious
editor and honest man-from the control of
the Democrat, we cordially welcome his sue.
cessor into the ranks, and hope that the pa
per will continue 10 be the same straight.

rkansas to Enter-the Union -Democratie.

q We stated few weeks ago, upon infor-
nation deemed reliable, that chances were
multiplying that Kansas would enter the
Union upon the side of the Democracy
The Herald Of Freedom, published at Law
renee, in examining the result ofihe- recent
conventional election, closes long a1cle
upon the subject with the following para
graph:
"We are conscious that we shall be charg-
ed with desire 10 play into the hands of
the Democracy because of this article. Our
design is 10 show our friends in the States
the great strength (D of the Republican par
ty in Kansas, and show how much has
been gained by proving false 10 pledges,
and organizing new party with new tests,
for the purpose of giving laid and comfort
TO a party outside of Kansas. We mean TO
say further, that the late vote is significant of
the future, and renders the prospect of a
final Democratic triumph more than proba-
BILE, and the sending up OF Democratic
Delegate 10 Congress in the fall, and finally
one Democratic Representative and two
Democratic Senators 10 Congress, under
our State organization"

The Naturalization QutStiOn..-0piniOn of
Judge Black.

WAsHlNGroE, July 17-hrevious to the
preparation of the recent official letter to our
Minister at Berlin, instructing him to de.
mand of the Hanover Government the sur
render of Mr. Ernst, Attorney. General Black,
at the request of the President, rendered an
opinion in the case maintaining the gener-
al right of expatriation as incontestible, and
that in regard TO the protection of our citi-
zens in their rights at home and abroad, we
have no law which divides them into class
es or makes any difference whatever be-
tween them that native and a natural.
lied American citizen may therefore, 60
forth with equal security over sea and thro'
every land under Heaven, including the
country in which the latter was born. Either
of them may be taken for debt contracted,
or crime committed by him, but both are
absolutely free from all political obligations
to every country but their own. They are
both American citizens, and their exclusive
allegiance is due TO the Government of the
United States. In Judge Blacks opinion
the Hanoverian Government cannot Justify
the arrest Of Mr.. Ernst by showing that he
emigrated contrary 10 the laws of that coun-
try unless it can also be proven that the
original right of expatriation depends on the
consent OF the natural sovereign, and this
last proposition he is sure no man can es-
tablish. ... ...-...,.. .....

Death of Rufus ChOaie.

The Hon. Rufus Choate of Massachusetts,

morning, of an attack Of heart disease

of regret throughout the Union Mr.. Choate

perhaps, her greatest orator. He was botn

10 the Bar IN 1921. His professional rise
was remarkably rapid, for at the outset he
possessed large share of the legal ability
for which he afterwards became eminentIy
distinguished. Previous 10 1892 he had
served as member in each branch of the
Massachusetts Legislature, and in that year
he was elected 10 Congress, where he serv-
ed one term, and declined q re election
He removed to Boston in 1891, for the pur.
pose of enlarging his practice as lawyer,
and during the succeeding eight years de-
voted himself assiduously TO his profession,
winning many remarkable triumphs, and
an extended reputation. In February 1871,
he was elected 10 fill the unexpired term of
MIR. Webster, as United States Senator, aud
he remained in the Senate till March, lS45
During his Senatorial career he delivered
several very able speeches, which al.
tracted much attention. But he gladly re.
turned 10 the practice OF his profession,
and since is45 has held no important Office
Daring the last ten years his addresses on
public questions and on public occasions
have, perhaps, commanded more general
attention than those of any other citizen of
the Republic. Mr.. Choale was always po
h.ically associated with organizations hos
tile 10 The Democratic party, until 1856,
when lie joined the great. body of conserva.
tive men of the Union in advocacy Of
National principles. His great speech in
that year in support of Mr.. Buchanan
exercised powerful influence upon the
canvass, and was one OF the most effective
political addresses ever delivered. AS a
lawyer he was pre- eminent, excelling in all
the duties of his profession, and being alike
superior in his method of examining witt
nesses, his discussion of law questions,
his addresses to the jurors. and dges, and
in the general management of the cases
entrusted to HIM. He habitually enlisted
all his energies whenever he assumed the
position of counsel, without reference 10
the Importance OF the issue involved, and
by his industry, unwearied application, and
extraordinary talents, acquired greater
renown as an advocate than any lawyer,
now living in America.
Mr.. Choate sailed a month since for Ell-
rope, 10 regain his health, but did not pro.
ceed further than Halifax, where he re-.
mained quite feeble, but not so PROSTATE as
10 alarm his friends, until Tuesday evening
previous TO his death, about 6 O'Clock, when
The was seized with an attack of the disease
to which he was subject, which terminated
his existence in few hours. His remains
were sent TO Boston, Uia. Windsor and St.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

On last Friday, July 5th, Mr.I N HIcH-
OILS, of Berwick, was at Rupert Station, and
while attempting to get upon moving train
of cars, on the lackawanna s. Bloomsbnrg
Rail Road, met with an accident, which
caused his death, in the course of a few
hours The facts y This amen,able acci-
dent, as near as we can learn, are as follows:
Mr.. NICHOLS, standing near the track,
while the train was slowly moving by
placed his hauds upon the rear end Of the
tender, ard stepping along TO mike sure
his bound upon the moving train, slipped; /;
his left foot Being caught, by one of the
driving wheels, was completely cnt and
smashed at the same time bringing the
right leg under the wheel, which was cut
off al the knee. The f,'uin ,gas almost Instant
y stopped, when two men sprang from tito
the assistance of the wounded man and
upon picking him up they discovered that
his injuries were OF very serious character
The train was then Immediately dispatched,
in great haste: 10 Cdttawissa for physician,

procured; al the same time a messenger was

fering man in less than an hour after the ac.
cident occurred, at the peril of their horses
life. AS soon as proper arrangements could
be made for conveying the wounded man,
he was taken TO the public house of Messrs.
CONNER & EVERETT, where kind attention
was paid him. The casualty, from the facts
above stated, was entirely accidental.
His remains were taken 10 Berwick and
Inferred at that place on last Sabbath by the

order he was much respected member

Death 0f JUdce Rurusidp.

The death of Judge James Burnside, Of
Bellelonte, which occurred not long since,
under peculiarly Distressing Circumstances,
is thus explained by Harrisburg correspon-
den, of the Philadelphia BdHetm
HARRIsBus, July q, ls5g.-The Bulletin Of
Saturday contained notice of the sudden
and awful death of Hon. JAS Burnside, of
Belefonte, on Friday last. The crcumstan-
ces, as reported here, may further interest
your readers.
He had been sitting at his door, in the
evening when his nephew, Harvey Mann,
drove up in buggy, with his moher, "a
sister of Judge Burnside), who had come to
pay them vissit The horse was new
one, and after Mrs Mann had got out, the
Judge said TO his nephew that he believed
that he would get in and take short drive
with him. He got in, and young Mann was
about following him, when he slipped, and
touching the horse started him. The reins,
which bad been lying loose, fell and the
horse dashed rapidly down steep, stony
street. He made short turn at corner at
the foot of the hill, and threw the Judge
out. He lell violently on his head. The
blood gushed from every feature, and when
he was picked up he was dying. In two
or three minutes from the time he left his
door, full of life, health and spirits, he was
carried back bleeding corpse.
The event created the greatest grief and
CONSERVATION in the town, where the Judge
was sincerely beloved 1t is peculiarly felt
now: because on this day there was to have
been grand Fourth Of July Picnic, which
he had been instrumental in getting up, and
at which he was TO read the Declaration of
Independence. Instead of being assembled
at the festival gathering, his townsmen
have probably been col lected for his funer-
al.
Judge Burnside was son of Hon. Thos.
Burnside, late Judge of the Supreme Court
of this State, and was well known as an
able and accomplished lawyer He served
creditab,y in the Legislature for several
terms, and, six years ago, was chosen by
the people of his District 10 the position
which has just been vacated by his death.
Judge Burnside was married to daughter
OF Senator Cameron, who survives him.
