WIFE Arbitrary Arrests Cease!

4 correspondent of the Tribune arrived
here ycstc. day from New Orleans, under
military guard having been sent
hithcr by Gen. Candy. lie is believed
to be charged with writing articles obnox-
'ous to Gen. Candy. IF this is the only
crime that has been committed, it would
be interesting to know about what time
those "inalienable rights" that the Dec
laration of independence alludes to, are
likely to reach New Orleans. Some of
our military officers seem to be impressed
with the idea that pair of stars strapped
on their shoulders is about the same as a
crown on the head "of any other man
at least they are quite as imperious in their
manner as Francis Joseph of Austria, or
Alexander of Russia Now it would be
interesting to the public to know when
these arbitrary arrests are to cease, and
when the law, instead of a military order
is to be recognized as authority. 1t is
about time that intolerant military officers
were informed that they were great deal
more "obnoxious' than their victims

NUMBER 81.
The Approaching Annual Com
yeUIiOu.

From the Philadelphia Press, July &c.
The general convention of the Episco-
pa! church, to be held in PhilaGel-
phia in October next will be at
tended with great interest and more or
less excitement Its proceedings will be
exceedingly important
There is to be a grand convocation of the
leaders of the Episcopal church, in which
bygones are to be bygoncs and the past to
be buried in tie Lethcan waters Of blank
oblivion. According 30 the Rev D. John
Cotton Smith, in his rsply to the bishops
pastoral, an effort will bc made to intro
ducc a new canon, intended to allow to
the clergy of this church more liberal re-
lations with these of other denominations.
This movement will meet with vigorous
resistance as well as hearty support. The
clcrgyMen identified with it are we'll
known for Their perseverance and inde>
pendence, as well as for tendency to
controversial discussion; while the bishop
will be supported in the course he has
adopted by the vast body of his clergy.
The return of delegates from the south
ern diocese will be another and still more
important feature of the coming convcn>-
ton, and there are questions to be consid--
cred which will aid 10 make the OCCASION
one of special interest 1t is stated, on
what is believed to be perfectly reliable
authority, that letters have been received,
now, from the bishops of the Episcopal
church in nearly all the southern liocescs
lately in rebellion against thc government,
in favor of reunion at the general conren-
ton without any formality whatever. In
other words, the southern delegates, cleri-
cal and lay, are desirous of resuming their
seats in the convention precisely as if Sc
cession and the war were things that had
never been. Furthermore, a free inter-
change of opinion among the northern
bishops has just been had in reference to
these overtures. and the Termination ar
rived at is substantially in accordance
with the wishes of the southern brethren,
and no time has been lost in so notifying
the latter. Bygones are to be bygones,
and the past buried in oblivion. That is
the programme in the house of bishops,
but whether it will be adopted by the
house of clerical and lay deputies or not, is.
open to conjecture. When the secretary
Of the convention proceeds to call the roll
it is not improbable that objections may
be made to the admission to seats of men
who, though ministers of God, or other
wise high in the church, did not scruple
to lend their influence to the "powcrs that
be- which are ''o-dained of God The
bishops having defined their position,
however, their influence over the rest of
the convention doubtless will be powerful
in the same direction; so that, as things
stand at present, the chances are decided
ly in favor of forgiveness, reunion and
nclcc.

The abolition black republican party of
Iowa are unquestionably in favor of enfran
chising the negroes. The following is
the platform, adopted at their Stale cca
vention June l4th, 1868:
1--WE, the delegate representatives of the
Union electors of Iowa in State convention
assembled, proclaim the following as the
cardinal element of our political faith
therefore resolved,
"That, with proper safeguards to the
purity of the ballot box, the elective fran
chisc should be based upon loyalty to the
Constitution and Union, recognizing and
affirming the equality of all men before the
law; therefore we are in favor Of amending
the constitution of our State, by striking
out the word White in the article of suf
frage."

MArs.-The first regular map OIL rec
ord was one Of brass or copper, made for
Clcomcns, King of Sparta, just before his
expedition to attack the Persian empire.
There exist several evidences that the
Athenians were well acquainted with the
use of maps. Roman generals, after a.
victory, were in the habit of showing to-
the people on their return, painting or
map of the country they had conquered.
Maps and charts were introduced into
England about 1882 by Bartholomew, the
brother of Christopher Columbus, who
was detained for some time in England By
Henry VII, and procured a maintenance
by making and selling them.

at must be particularly gratifying to

The Episcopal Church SOuIh-CIrcuIar
letter from the Bishop Of Missis-
sippi.

To the Clergy and Laity Of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church in the Diocese Of Mississippi:
DEAR BRETHREN: Having lust returned
from the meeting of our General Council. in
Augusta, | hasten to lay before you a state
ment of the principal business which en-
gagged our attention.
The only matters Of importance demand
ing our consideration, were, first, the ques-
ton whether we should maintain our pres
cnt organization as an Independent branch
Of the Catholic Church in the Southern
States, or resume our connection with the
general convention Of the Church in the
United States; and secondly, what action
was demanded on our part in relation to the
sacriligious and unconstitutional exercise of
military authority in suppressing the wor-
ship of the church i'm our sister
diocese of Alabama. The result of our
deliberations you will find in the follow
ing resolutions and protest, which | trust
Will commend themselves to the Judgment
OF the diocese generally. They have al
ready been published in our columns.-ED.
TINES The excellent spirit shown by the
general convention" of the church
lately assembled in Philadelphia was
so different from what had been expected.
and was so nObly exhibited under stong op-
position, both from within and without, as
almost TO leave us without excuse if we with
hold from them an equal return of fraternal
affection, and desire not with them to restore
that ecclesiastical union which political cir
cumstanccs caused ms to sever, so far as TO
establish for our Southern diOceses an indie
pendent Legislative council.
You will perceive from the following
resolution that each diOcease is left to
decide for itself whether il will continue
under our present organization, or return to
union with the general convention" This
question we should make for ourselves in our
next annual council in April unless il be ex-
pedient TO assemble ut an earlier period. 1t
is my opinion that all our Southern dioceses
will, after futher deiberation, consent to a
reunion with the general convention of the
church in the United States
In order TO show a becoming desire to
meet the wishes of our Northern brethren,
and also to relieve our people from the sus-
picion of disloyality to "the powers that be-"
now request my brethren of the clergy 10
return TO the use of tho prayer for the
President of the United States and all in
civil authority" This | was unwilling to
do so long as we were threatened with dicta-
ton from either the civil or military author
ity. But as no such assumption of authority
is any longer to be apprehended, and as our
State is now measurably possessed of her
constitutional rights, | now cheerfully recon-
mend the use Of that prayer, at the same
time that give 10 the following protest my
hearty and entire approval.
AtlectionStely, your pastor under Christ.
