taDing The former state Of ecclesiastical depend
-nce on England BY uniting with Z" Rebcl :"
Episcopalians, Ike George Washington and
John Jay, to form an independent American
Church, they may of may not have consented
TO stand by while others Inscribed traitor
On the gravestones" Of their deceased com
patriots. At all events, they did precisely What
Bishop Wilmer & Co. now refuse to do; and
the world has Judged irrevocably that they did
wisely.
but this is not the more essential matter
or rather, not that in which We take tho deeper
interest. What strikes us az offensive ana H.
excusably arrogant in the Bishops letter Is his
complete ignoring Of any Southerners but those
who threw themselves headlong into the re
bellon. Now the Southern churches generally
have for century had more Black than White
members, and have far more to-day; yet these
are no more regarded by Wilmer than though
they were dogs. "The whole Southern people,
he asserts, care at this moment awaiting trial IN
the person of their representative head No,
they are not, Bishop! and you, as Christian
pastor ought to know it Of the Three and Il
Half Millions of Southern Blacks, nor one Is
"awaiting trial" in the person OF JET
ferson Davis; not one feels himself
denounced as felon; not one is ''sitting n
the deep valley Of humiliation;' not one feels
that his wounds are too recent 10 allow as
rough handling as may be required for national
restoration and peace. There are many other
hearty Southern Unionists-as White as Bishop
Wilmer--but he sees nobody in the South but
Confederates, and insists that Others shall use
his spectaccs. We cannot consent.
We might ask the Bishop to consider tha,
there ore unhealed wounds North as well as
South-that we, too, have been called to make
sacrficcs-that we, too. mourn our dead. Let
all this pass: and judge calmly and justly ywhat
light is thrown by the Bishops letter On the
temper of what lie considers ''the South, and
Oh the grave problem Of Reconstruction.

COY. FENTON,s message.

The Governors Message does not aspire to
brillancy, but il is a sound, iudcous review OF
the public concerns OF our State, whose sugees-
tions IN the main will command very general
approval. It's treatment Of National topics is
patriotic and generous, while its )leas for our
crippled and invalid soldiers will profoundly
touch the popular heart. We thirk the people
heavily taxed as they are. will not grudgc the
expense Of maintaining the NV National
Guard, provided there is 10 mistake as to
its efficiency. Our State Finances wear a
cerulean aspect, and demand tie immediate
attention and rcsOlute action of the Leglsla-
ture. We hopo measures will be aiken to COM
pei an official valuation of property for taxation
at the rates for which it could pro,ably be sold
at auction for cash; but we do not like the
Governors plan OF putting every person on
oath, and letting him value his own property
We have already sufficient taxes on honesty
without imposing one specially IN veracity
C0ustrain the assessors to do their sworn duty;
but do not let It's doom honest ne1 TO pay far
higher taxes than rogucs will
We rejoice to hear that our Common Schools
are improving in both the regularity aud uni
versatility Of attendance, aud heartily commend
the Governors suggestions under this head.
Our Canals have done badly this year; for,
keeping them in order has alarmingly increased.
While the years tolls amounted to but
$3,5lG,9 ,9tS, the cost of repairs was ne less than
Sl,7-2 ,0~i, or more than half the tolb There
is swindine here-wholcsale giganti', atrocouS
--and il must be stopped. Let the Legislature
look sharply to it, for there is the better part OF
Million gone into pockets where it does not
honestly belong. Probably that is lost; but
means must be found to prevent any more
going aftor IL. VIII not the Legislature insist
on IT.
A. to erlargiug the lock. or otherwise in.
creasing the capacity Of our great Canal, we
will favor it when the Finances of our State
shall have bcn thoroughly renovated. and
when we shall have Trustworthy guarantees
against such Wholesale robbery as must now be
prevailing in the department Of Repair. Until
then, We are opposed to the States investing
another dollar in Public Works Of any Mind.
Gov. Fcnton's warning protest against special
legislation will be heartily approved by ninety
nine hundredth- of the people Of our State; but
the hundrcdth will, we fear. prove the stronger
in The Legislature. But, be this as it may, We
thank the Governor for Bis gentle and timely
admonition, and will do what we can toward
having i respected.
The closing paragraphs of tho Message re-.
specting National affairs are nohly conceived
and happily expressed. They will find an echo
in the hearts Of the People.

Ring, and the Nat,onal taxes--We ere IN fair
way 70 have, q geoa round sum to pay. Mr..
Robinson rather frightcns us when he says that
:" az real estate and Investments Of most kinds
viii rarely yield an average of more than six
per cent per annum, tax Of three per cent is a
virtual ccnfscation of one.half of almost every
mans property" These speculations OF Mr..
Robinson-his views in favor of taxing Govern
ment bonds, and some other queer notions-are
with much that is clear and sensi-
bio. Mr.. Robinson's report will bear close
study, and we may Learn many valuable lessons
from it. There are none better than those
which teach us economy, retrenclmeut, ana
the return to a specie basis.

FRAMING.

a correspondent sends Us from Brownsville.
Texas a Autographed letter dated coffee New
York News, Oct. ~, 1865" and franked "B.
Wood NJ. c." urging persons to act as agents
f5r his Ncrs aforesaid, offering commissions,
&c. Our correspondent thinks thi, shameful
abusc-Mr Wood having ceased to he Mem
ber of Congress over nine months before tn,
letter was franked.
We can't see the matter exactly in tha' light.
Franking is all abuse-we make no exception
The Government is grossly wrong in carrying
one mans letter at the cost Of another man---
which is just what Franking amounts TO- s,iii.
as those to whom the abuse gives consequence
have control over the matter, We see no use "a
talking about It. Better bear it in silence. {.

Euronean Affairs,

In the midst of the interest excited by tho
proceedings of the Philudelph Convention,
the public seems tUaIave lost sight tor a tine
of European affairs The following article.
from the New York Times is wes calculated
to recall attention to 50 interesting u subject
At period, either before 81 during the,
sharp aud decisive German conflict, has the:
situation in Europe presented darker aspect
than it does now; and unless we are altogether
deceived; the grand contest for position, for
influence, and for permanent political ascen-
dancy IN Europe is only just opening.
The quarrel, from beng primarily Ger
man, or, in measure, civil coudlct, bids
fair to develop into a Gallo Prussian war-.os~
tenslbly for the revision Of boundary line
marked out barely fifty years ago, but in rea.i-
", Tor the status and dignity OF leadership IN
Continental Europe. The demands for ter
rltorial compensation submitted to Prussia by
the French Cabinet, are 10 be met, according
to a semi-Ofhcial Berlin Journal, by prompt
refusal. These demands the Prussian organ
which speaks for BIsmarck-characterIze as
6 absurd" 1t reminds the Government Of
the Emperor that in the German quarrel
France has had nothing at stake. And the
tone in which this Is said as clearly indicates
defiance as any semi-oficial utterance from
Prussia since the conflict began.
Italy, meanwhile, will apparently cease to
continue party TO the quarrel, by the cession
, of Venetia, to which the government of Vi
emma has consented the term Of the armis-
tice between that power and Austria having
been extended. In that result, the new con-
fict would be one involving the question of
German solidarity and strength as against
French aggraudizemeDt and modern Cesar
ism. In such contest Bismarck would
doubtless carry with him far mrre OF the SYM
Pathies of liberal men throughout the world
| than he has done hitherto.
