Convocation.

The Convocation Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Yer,
mont held its quarterly session in Imman
ual Church in this village, on March 18th
10 and 18th. There were present twelve
of the Vermont Clergy, including Bishop
Hopkins, and eight others from neighbor-
ing Dioceses making twenty clergy ii ALL
Ga Tuesday evening, the 18th inst,
Bishop Hopkins preached a vigorous ex-
temporaneous sermon on the necessity OF
a change of heart as set forth by the Bible
and the Church after which he confirmed
four persons.
On Wednesday morning an excellent
sermon on The Cross of Christ" was
preached by Rev. DIR. G. W. Porter. The
Holy Communion was then celebrated by
the Bishop, assisted by the Clergy present.
On Wednesday evening, an able sermon
was delivered by the Rev. S. Clarke of
Conn.,, in behalf of the Society for the in
crease of the Ministry; followed by mis-
sionary addresses from the Rev. Mr..
Morgan and the Bishop.
The closing service was held on Thurs
day morning, when the Rev. Mr.. Douglass
preached with his usual clearness and
ability.
AT the business meetings, over 500
were found to be in the missionary treas
ury, after paying the usual stipends. A
general collection in behalf of St. Barna-
bas' Church, Norwich, was recommended
to the several parishes.
Able and interesting papers were read
as follows; by the Rev. Mr.. Husband on

munion by Rev. Mr.. Wainwright, the
Rector of the Parish, on The True Con-
servatism of the Faith, Liberal Chris
tianity;" and by the Rev. Mr.. Morgan of
Mass, on Evangelists' Work.
The unwearied attentions of the Rec
tor, and the hospitality and generally
good attendance of his people, have con-
tributed much TO the pleasure and profit
of this meeting. Their new and hand
some Church, begun and continued under
former faithful pastors, and soon to be fin
ished, will crown their jealous labors with
success, and be great blessing TO this
thriving and important parish, as well as
an ornament to the beautiful village in
which it stands. SECRETARY.

IMPORTANT ACTION BY THE PRESIDENT
1t is well known that the President main
tains that the military commanders ap-
pointed under the reconstruction act have
no legal right to arbitrarily make and I'M
MAKE governors, legislators, mayors, and
other civil officers, and he looks upon the
action of General Swayne in removing the
mayor and police force of Mobile as most
fragrant violation of the law, especially as
that officer reports officially that there was
no preconcerted arrangements for the late
disturbance there sand that the only charge
to be made against the police was that of
timidty. 1t is generally understood here
that the President has at last decided to
interfere in this case, and will revoke the
order of General Swayne deposing the
municipal government of Mobile, and will
instruct Swayne to reinstate the mayor and
all other officers who have been interfered
with by military edict. The President also
maintains that his construction of the law
is judicially sustained; for the Supreme
Court of the United States, in the MiSsis-
Sppi injunction case, held that the duties
of the generals commanding the several
military districts "muSt necessarily be
performed under the supervision Of the
President, as COMMUNICATIVE chief, for the
duty thus imposed on the President is in
no Just sense ministerial-it is purely
executive and political" Members of the
Judiciary Committee say that they fear
that the President will not interfere, as
reported, for in that case they declare that
his impeachment is insured.-WOrld.

NEW ORLEANS, June Hon. L. D.
Campbell has received letters from the
United States Consul at Matamoras con-
firming the reports Of the fall of Quete.
taro and the capture of Macmillan and
his generals. The Consul at Matamoras
has Just arrived here, but brings no later
intelligence. He probably came on with
his own dispatches.
Letters have been received here by I'm
peralists, dated Monterey 2lst, which
make no mention of the capture of Maxi
milan; which is rather singular.
Advices from Havana Of the 2Sth say
the United States steamers Monongahela,
Peoria, and Swatara arrived at st. Thomas
on the 18th to take possession of the island
purchased by the United States. The
American steamer Columbia had just
arrived.

THE RICHINGs TRoUPE.-Ip Washington
city, Friday night, at the close of the second
act of Martha" when Miss Richings was
unanimously called before the curtain, the
leading members Of the company availed
themselves of the moment to step forward
and, through Mr.. Castle, present to her a
casket containing magnificent set of gar
nets and carbuncles, consisting of a neck
lace, ear ornaments, brooch, tiara, and
crown value, S2,000), a testimonial from
the principal members of the company and
the management of the National Theatre.
Mr.. Castle, in few appropriate words,
stated that the present was significant OF
the deep regard which, as the head Of the
company in their long season, inspired
every member Of the combination, and OF
the management ofthis theatre during SER
vice with them.
Miss Richings, taken manifestly by sur
prise, betrayed much emotion, but gather
ing self-possession, returned her thanks in
graceful language, and at the same time
expressed her gratitude to the people OF
Washington, who had SO signally sustained
and honored her in her professional strug-
giles.
This may well be deemed an epoch OF
triumph in the history of the English opera
upon the American stage.-Nationat Intel

FREEpNEN's Affairs IN VIRGINIA.

FREEDNEN's AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.
General Brown reports for April that in
consequence Of the reconstruction acts
there has been favorable change in the
condition Of the freedmen throughout the
State. Complaints of private outrages and
| of injustice by the judicial tribunals are
at least fifty per cent. less than during the
same month of the last year. This change
is undoubtedly due in part to wholesome
fear of military commissions, and in part
TO the new political status given the freed
men, making their good will more desira-
BILE. to their white neighbors. As rule,
the freedmen are working throughout the
State. Complaints of their Incidence and
shiftlessness are becoming rare. Employ
ers are paying better wages and more
promptly than last year, but not full
compensation for the labor performed.
| The number of freedmen aided by the Bu-
reau during the past month was 2,SS7. or
this number ], 1885 were in hospital. The
decrease of the dependents from the pre-
cediDg month is 5l7. The number of re-
fugees receiving rations was 564, showing
an increase over the preceding month
of 80.
The schools have been doing well. The
whole number of teachers was 274, of whom
so are colored. The whole number of
pupils was l6,l0S, of whom Csc are white.
The average attendance was 1850.
The sentiments of the whites in regard
to the education Of the freedmen is I'M
dergoing rapid change. There are but
few places where any opposition is now
manifested, and very many in which there
is readiness to cooperate with the Bureau
in the establishment of schools. The sani-
tary condition Of the freedmen is improv-
Chronicle.
