STARTLING clip the following as- founding piece of intelligence regarding the opening services of the Pan-Anglican Synod from the foreign correspondence of the N. Y Tribune:
 The Bishop of London first advertised to preach the opening sermon, but in consequence of his indisposition the duty devolved upon the Right Rev. Dr. L. Polk Bishop of Louisiana. Four o'clock was the hour appointed for the service and at that hour the church was crowded. The congre- gaton is said to have been the largest assem- Died on week day in the city except on some spe- cial service in St. Paul's Cathedral. At the sound of the organ procession emerged from the north west corner of the church, and moved slowly down the aisle, about 60 choristers in surpices singing the professional hymn: '' Tue Son of God goes forth to ,car The Lord Bishop of Louisiana. U. s. followed, attended by about thirty clergymen in their robes.
 It has been generally supposed that the Rt. Rev. Father in question was extin- guished by goddess Union twelve pound. CT during the late "onpleasantness;" and his re-appearance, marching in procession to such hymn, is rather startling, to say the least.
 The mistake originated, we learn, witt the London Times, who probably relied or some list of American clergy, a little too old to be correct.

in New Preston, with a memorial from sai Church. requesting that they may be re cognized as one of the Churches belongin,
 to this Consociation."
 It was on motion, unanimously Re
 soIsed, That said Church be re-organized 8
 an integral member of this body, with ths
 understanding, that without needless de
 lay. the Clerk of said Church transmit tt
 the Clerk of the First Church in New Pres
 ton, a list Of the names of members, from
 the First Church, now identified with the
 Church, worshipping with the First Eccle
 siastical Society,"
 At the same meeting, it was also Toted
 That we designate in our Minutes, that portion of the Congregational Church in New Preston, who have declined removing from their ancient place of worship, as the Church on New Preston Hill."
 At the annual meeting of the Consocia. tion in 1859, "the Committee appointed at the last annual meeting to present the relation of the Church on New Preston Hill, at this meeting, reported in accord ance with which, the following Resolution was adopted:"
 " Resolcea, That when we are certified that the Churches in New Preston have so perfected their lists of Church member ship, that it shall be mutually understood and agreed among themselves, to which body each member of the original Church belongs, there shall be no further bar to our recognizing the Church worshipping on New Preston Hill, as an integral mem Der of this Consociation"
 June 1st, 1862, the Church on the Hill passed the following vote: "That where as, we are not recognized by the Consocia- tion of Litchfeld South as New Preston Church, and not having formed any new Church organization, cannot be considered by the Consociation as Church: There fore, Voted, That we will not appoint a delegate to represent us at the annual meeting of the Consociation, which is to meet at Waramaug, on the Sd of this 
 As to the Rev. MT. Day being the origin ator of Consociations in Connecticut as claimed by Dea. Patterson, it is not in &C., cordance with Ecclesiastical History. The Consolation of Litchfeld County was or in 1752, when MT. Day was only b years old. Consociations in the older Counties were organized at much earlier period.
 As to which is the original Church of New Preston, or which is entitled to the old Church records and property of the question to which your correspondent is not party.
 All which he has any interest in, or con- troversy with Dea. Patterson is, whether in his first account of the doings of the Council convened on New Preston Hill, for the ordination of MT. Williams was 8 correct account.

To the Voters of the United States:

To tse Voters 0f the Unated Mates:
 In this hour of National Reconstruction, we appeal to good men of all parties, to Conventions for amending State Constitu- tions, to the Legislature of every State, and to the Congress of the United States, to apply the principles of the Declaration of Independence to Women Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" The only form of consent recognized under a Republic is Suffrage. Mere tacit acquies- cence is not consent; ii 1t were, every des- potism might claim that it's power is justly held. Suffrage is the right of every adult I citizen, irrespective of sex or color. Wo. men are governed: therefore they are right fully entitled to vote The problem of American statesmanshiI Is, how to incorporate in our institutions a guarantee of the rights of every individu al. The solution is easy. Base govern. ment on the consent of the governed, and each class will protect itself. | B. F. Wade, U. s. Senator, Ohio. I Wm. Sprague, U. s. Senator, Rhode Isl and.

has crowned them with wreaths of victory
in spite of the sympathy, aid and comfort
given those you fought by Thurman, Val
landighan and their party, They are
sacred relics to you and your noble State.

The Impending Revolution,

That the rebels in around Washington
contemplate an attempt Oh the part of the
President to prevent the assembling of Con-
gress, there is no doubt. All through
Maryland arc the traitors organizing and
arming for that expected event In this
emergency the country looks to General
Grant No man living bears the weight of
responsibility that now rests upon the
shoulders of General Grant. 1t may be,
come his duty to stand in the gap, aud to
make choice whether he will go with the
Executive or with the loyal people. We
cannot bear to contemplate such dilemma
but the signs of the times warrant the
gravest apprehension, for we believe the
country is in imminent peril; and that
Grant, Just now, is the man who must be
looked to. That Grant is true to the Con
gressional policy, and to tho loyal senti
ment Of the land, we have no more doubt thar
that he was true to his flag in the darkest
days Of the war Cleeelaad Herald.
