The National Intelligencer says:-"In view
ofthe distress prevailing among the freedmen
10 the Southern States, and the alleged inability
ofnumbers OF these people to find agreeable EN-
poyment there, upon terms satisfactory to
themselves, number Of 'philanthropic indl-
viduals'' propose to organize "a colored emf
grant aid association" for the purpose of pro
piding means of transportation for the suffer
ing negroes of the South to the New England
and Northwestern States. The projectors Of
this scheme argue that the poor freedmen OF
the South will be welcomed and kindly cared
for, and provided with profitable employment
by the Northern communities, by whose efforts
they have been emancipated, clothed with the
right of suffrage, and thrown out OF employ
ment and reduced to a starving condition.
IF this is in sober earnest-so be it. Iii is a
satire upon the tphilanthropic individuals"
referred to, it is an excellent hat, especially
when it is added, that the association is ex-
pacted to be able to pour constant stream of
these colored laborers into the New England
and the Northwestern States, where it is sup
posed that the Radical friends of the freedmen
will take care of them until they can be pro-
vided with profitable employment !"

EPISCOPAL CHURCu--Thc recent election Of
Rev. DR.. Paddock, of Detroit, as missionary
bishop of the Episcopal Church in Oregon and
Washington Territory, seems likely to make
some trouble. Many contend that the election
was not canonical on the ground that there was
not quorum of the House of Bishops present
at the meeting in New York. The foreign
missionary bishops are members Of the house
by a recent canon, and, counting them, there
was no quorum present, and only bare quo
rum not counting them. Twenty bishops only
were present. and Dr. Paddock was elected by
eleven votes on the ninth ballot, Rev 0. ".
Whitaker, of Nevada, receiving ten votes until
the ninth balIoting Mr.. Whitaker was the
candidate Of the more moderate of the bishops,
though DR.. Paddock is not regarded as an ex.
treme man in the high church direction

:. The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun says that bill is to be introduced in
the House in few days by Col. Phelps, of
Maryland, providing for the speedy disband-
ment of all the colored regiments now in service,
and for recognizing the same number upon
terms which will secure their ultimat, coooi-
zation in Liberia. More efficient provision is
to be made for their instruction while in the
service, and sufficient amount oftheir month
ly pay is to be reserved to secure both their full
fillment of the contract and a com Portable out
fit for themselves and families upon their land
ing in Liberia. There is no expenditure Of
money from the treasury required by this plan
further than that already incurred.

subsistence of the hands and work animals,
being from the produce Of the plantation, Is
not included. The result, under favorable cir
cumstanccs and good management, was $llO
profit a year per hand, over and above hand
and horse food This leaves very narrow
margin Of cotton profit for the present time,
when it is remembered that meat cannot be
