FAST DkY.-Ehe Bishops. Of the Episco-
pal Methodist Church make the follow
ing recommendation for "A day of fasting,
humiliation and prayer, which is ex.
tracted from their Address: =
We propose that Friday, 10th of Aug.
next, be observedIin all our churches as
day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer
that God would be pleased IL pour out
His Spirit upon all flesh that He would
show Us cur sins and help us, by a true
repentance, to turn away from them !;
that He would send forth laborers' into
His harvest, who may serve Him more
faithfully and efficiently than, we have
done: that He would build up. the church
and comfort her waste places that He
would grant US all the blessings, tempo
raj and spiritual, we have need of: And
farther propose that this day Of special
fasting and prayer be preceded, where.
ever practicable, by religious exercises
begun on the previous Sabbath and con-
tinued day by day till the Sabbath
following.
And now, brethren, we commend you
to God and to the word of His Grace,
which is able to build you up, and to
give you an inheritance among all them
which is sanctifed. r..

WASHINGTON August 1a.-Tbs p,..;.

WAsHINGToN, August 12.-The Prcsi-
dent. at 10 o'clock this morning. sent .
communication to Stanton, suspending
him from office as Secretary of War, and
directing him to transfer the records,
books, ETC., to Gen. Grant, and informing
Stanton that Gen. Grant had been en-
powered to act as Secretary of War ad
interim. At the same hour, authority
was sent Gen. Grant authorizing bin to
act as Secretary of War ad interim, d.
recting him to at once enter upon bis
duty. At noon. the President received a
note from Stanton, denying that the
President had the right, under the Con-
stftution and laws, to suspend him (Stan-
tcn) without the consent of the Senate
or legal cause; but inasmuch as the Gen
cral Commanding the Armies of tie Uni
ted States had notified him (Stantona
that he (Gen. Grant, had accepted the
appointment of Secretary of War ad IN
terisn, he (Stanton) had no alternative
but to submit, under protest, to superior
force. Gen. Grant has assumed charge
of the War Department, and appeared
at the Cabinet meeting, to-day, for tie
purpose of considering certain questions
with reference to territory recently ae-
quired from Russia.

Who Can Register,

AS much doubt still exists as to who
are entitled to register, and that all who
can should do so, We give, the following
summary from the Mercury, which will
remove all doubt on the subject: ,~-
ALI males Of full age who have resided
in this State eatwelFe months are en-
titled to register and to vote, provided
that fhey have not been
~ ]. Convicted of felony, or
2. Members ofany State Legislature, or
8. Executive or judicial officers Of any
State, or
4. Members of Congress Of the United
States.
And have not afterwards engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the
United States or given aid or comfort to
the enemies thereof.
If they have been convicted of felony
they are disfranchised.
If they are included in either of the
three last of the above four classes. and,
after the holding Of Office, gave any
voluntary aid to the rebellion ur took
any voluntary part in it., they are dis
francbised.
If they did not hold any of the offices
named, snd have not been convicted of
felony, they sre not disfranchised, wheth-
er they did or didnot give aid to the re-
beslion or take part M the, war against
the United States.
If they did hold any Of the offices
named, but did not engage in the, rebel
lion against the United States or give aid
or comfort to the South, they are not

Hes;st-stior6rder.

On our first page will be found this i1n>
portant order, and we advise careful read
ing. Elsewhere will be found succinct list
of those who come under the ban of dis
hanehisement, so plain and brief that none
can misunderstood. We would urge upon
our people the great duty OF registration:
there are some who cannot, but those who
can should by all means do so. That there
will be Convention is we think beyond
oouEt, and hence the necessity of using all
the means left us to endeavor to give it a
conservative influence. Ifyou do not regis
ter, whatever the action Of the Convention,
whatever its enactments or DAVIS, and how
ever injurious, you have no power to vote
against it. Letshe intelligent men of the
country exert their influence in the only way
left, and by all means be awake to the i'm.
porsance Of registering. If only the ignorant
register, the ruling power is placed in the
hands Of those who will WELD it to the ipju
~ Of all.
Whether one votes for the Convention or
against it, it is still his duty to register. And
we wouhls call atieution TO 1ne true cons
struction Of portion of the Act about
which there seems to be some confusion of
ideas -
Uuless:a person has held Office and after
wards participated in the rebellion, or
given aid and comfort to those engaged in it,
he Is entitled to register He must not only
have participated in the rebellion or given
aid and comfort to those. engaged in it
@but he must also have held Office in one of
the departm ents Of the .Govcrnment-the
Executive, Judicial Or Legislative. -
Participation in the rebellion does not
aisqaalify; neither does having given aid
and comfort to those engaged in the rebel>
lion. Having held Office, before committing
either of these acts, is essential to.disqualify
one Of the right to register.
Let every man who loves his Stare, as
poor as she may be, secure to-himseaf what
-eyerof power heis permitted to exercise in
controlling her future 'destihy. Refusal to
register by those VINO have heretofore had
charge of her fortunes will seal her DOOM
perhaps forever, 49,. !

"We have not heard ola single black
candidate elected or nominated for any

gence and sagacity of the blacks, holding
as they did the balance of power in this

in no hurry to push their claims for Of
