Episcopal royalty Again.

It is rather interesting to- read the various Ereports and excuses of fepiscopalians, regarding the disloyal action of their late General Conven Stion One says that the resolution of thanks s for the establishment the national au- thority' was voted down. because the Cobven- tion had previously passed similar resolution; and another writer, III. the New Haven Regis ter, says that this similar resolution was passed ansnsessnteyl afteracasd. A sarcastic Episco- paliai. informs the readers of the Sentinel in the first place, that the members of he Con ven:ion refused to enter the arena of politics and pass the resolution; and in the second place, that they had already entered that arena, and passed resolution : exactly similar in spirit-as far as that part is concerned which the Enquirer selects for comment-(i. e. the politics' part.) As one of these paragraphs de- nies the other, of co urse we can believe which ever we please. But there were some members of that con- vention who do not believe in quibbling about this matter. Twenty of its best members say /:
 The action of the house, as aforesaid, gives a false aspect to tue reputation of the Episco- pal Church, touching its loyalty to the govern ment of the United States
 And The action of this House will furnish arguments to those who are hostile to our con- munon. and will interpose hindrances to the growth of the church in ibis nation by creating prejddices, and by suggesting doubts in the minds of the people whom she would gather into her catholic fold.
 ! But these twenty churchmen were not Ell of the members of that conventi on who depre- cated it's disloyal action. ~ fla
 The seven Bishops of Ohio, Delaware, Mas sachusetts, Maine, Iowa - and Kansas sign an important paper in which they say the House of Bishops will seem to have adopted as the position to be hencefo"th occupied by this Church, one which is consistent with ip- difference to the safety and unity of the nation, and to the freedom of the oppressed. This is a position which, as the undersigned believe should not be maintained by any branch of the Christian Church in the United States, wbelh- CT in the present or any future generation
 All these men recognized the aspect of. dis loyalty that that action gave to the Episcopal Chursh, We cannot help hoping with them that the majority of the laity are not so con servatiye' as their representatives in conven. ton were, . y..,. -,..s fa..r -. .r-,

 - Reorganization in Arkansas has progress sed quietly, and is success.

 Whenever the people can get at the men who opposed the war, they strike them down withoat mercy. For instance, Seneca County, in New York gives Slocum 300 majority, which is 250 less than that given to Mcclellan last Fall MT. stowell, editor of the Democratic local paper, personally quite popular, but who sroaked against the war, was the Democratic for County Clerk.
