BISHOP HoPKMs, of Vermont, was in
New York on the Goth inst, on business
connected with the approaching Trieilnial
Convention of the Episcopal Church.
Some one asked the Bishop if he thought
there would be any trouble in re.admitting
the Southern Bishops to the Convention.
His reply was characteristic: "I see by
the papers to-day that the Odd Fellows
Grand Lodge at Baltimore are having q
great family reunion, and that the South
ern delegates have been as cordially re-
ceived as those from other sections of the
Union. Why cannot we follow their ex-
ample? With the Odd Fellows, Friend
ship, Love and Truth are governing prin-
Clip es, but Odd Fellowship is voluntary
affair. When protesting Christians come
together, sir, they are commanded to
slove one another, and that command
shall do my best not only to obey myself,
but to persuade others to obey it also. +"

Frauds upon the Governments.

The Boston Eoening Hoice says that q
certain firm in Boston, which has its sign
on State street, and is engaged in the
wholesale liquor trade, has for thirty years
been defrauding the government by the
use of two sets OF invoices-one for the
government, the other for itself. The
government at last, suspecting that all was
not right, put q detective on the track,
who soon unearthed the villainy of the
house Then the government pounced
upon the eminent house and seized their
papers Their guilt was transparent. They
pleaded for mercy. The government was
stern and unrelenting, and fiercely de.
manded million Of dollars to carry on the
war. The sum was enormous, but it did
not probably equal one-half of the Illicit
profits of this great house OF undaunted
commercial integrity. They finally Sc
cured the services Of q " go-between "a

The New York Democracy.

In abiding to the recent Democratic
State Convention in New York, the New
York Herald of the 9Th has much to say
complimentary of its honesty of purpose,
and the principles it promulgated. The
followingis encouraging to all Democrats !:
From its results there are strong indications
of return to the Democratic fold of all those

Gratis who few years since went over to the
Republican party on the anti.slavery excite
ment. 1t looks very much like . reunion of
old associates, long separated, and reconstruc-
ton of the party from one end of the State to
the other. Yg9a "a
There is no good reason why every man
who was connected with the Democratic
party in this State, when it was the DOM
inant party, should refuse to come back to
the fold. The platform and candidates
are unexceptionable, and should be sup
ported by every conservative man.
