TIE New YORK "WoRLD's" PRoPosI-
TIoH.-Eyery one was on the gu vive yes
terday to learn something III relation to the
new political move suggested by the leader
in Thursdays New York World, and Sc
conded in yesterdays InteHigencer. OF
course the public mind reverted again to
Mr.. Chase, for the reason that he had
been prominently talked about before the
election, and there was no little curiosity to
know how he viewed the new proposition. 1t
got ont that littlo dinner party had been
held at his residence on Thursday, and the
possibility Of its having something TO do
with the new movement excited the Curl
osity Of the g2id names to learn all about it..
Ii was found that the only gentlemen
present beside the Chief Justice were the
Secretary of War, and the British, Aus
trian, and Turkish Ministers. So that was
disposed of. As to Judge Chase's views re-
speeding the proposition, all that the news
Catherers were able TO CLEAN was that he
knew nothing about the matter except what
he had seen in the newspapers, and that
he did not seem to think the movement
would amount to anything.
Next to him the interest centres upon the
Blairs, it being desired to know how they
would regard the proposition to retire
Frank from the ticket. The result Of in
quiries is that they are understood to be
decidedly cross about it, and have no idea
Of acGuiesc;ng in any such arrangement.
General Hancock is also said to treat the
proposition coolly, and at any rate to be
unwilling to take the second place on the
ticket.
General Rosecrans is reported as saying
that it was too late for a change.
President johnson is almost the only
prominent parsonage here who is under
stood to have looked upon the proposition
with much favor, or to have thought it prac-
ticable; but among many of the lesser
lights of the party the idea seemed to be
jumped at with avidity.
DISPATCHES were received from August
Belmont, MIR. Schell, and other prominent
party managers in New York, disavowing
the article in the World and discountenan-
cling any change; but, per contra, an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch mentions rumor-
which, however, is said to lack conhrma-
tion-that Mr.. Seymour had rendered his
declination to Mr.. Belmont, chairman OF
the National Democratic Committee. Alto
gether the affair is very much mixed but
one thing is certain, which is that the De-
mocracy are in sad quandary, and that the
proposition seems likely to add to their trou-
bles by sowing discord in their own ranks.
In this city we find the morning Democratic
organ endorsing the Worlds suggestion,
and the evening lesser organ is stoutiy OPP
posing both the proposed change OF candi-
dates and the Worlds disavowal OF the
principles of the party, which undoubtedly
means Frank Blair's plan of overthrowlng
the reconstructed State governments. A
similar division of sentiment seems to be
developing in the press elsewhere.-for-
neys Chronicle, Saturday.

A lady correspondent of"the editor Of the
Lynchhurg FWginian, writing from Buffa-
10, n. Y, makes the following reference to
that noble Virginian General Jubal A.
Early:
a. few days since I visited Niagara, and
learning that General Early, Of Confederate
fame, WAS boarding at Drummondville,
Canada West, only u mile distant, | deter
mined 10 see him, not having had that
pleasure eiuce saw him at the head Of his
army in Winchester. Accordingly, in COM
pany with II friend, we procured carriage
and started. The ride from the Falls to
DrummoDdville was through IL pleasant
farming country, and when we arrived
there we were directed to q small brown
cottage, simple and unpcetcnding in APP
pearance, yet of great consequence to me as
being at present the home Of General
Early.
" lie came out when told we were at the
door, and when | introduced myself and
told him I was formerly from Winchester,
he seemed delighted to see me, as lie said
he was glad to see any one from the dear
old town. His form is bent and he suffers
considerably from rheumatism otherwise
his health is good. He still wears the gray.
When he spoke of the South his eyes bright
ened, and he seeped still deeply interested
in her welfare, especially in the future Of
the Shenandoah Valley.
"The battlefield Of Lundy's Lane is
almost in sight Of Drummondville, and
when remarked TO the old General that we
were quite near celebrated battle field, he
said, ooh, yes, but nothing like the battle
fields OF the Shenandoah valley lie again
thanked us for calling to see him, and we
babe him goodbye and returned to buffalo"

From John &. Gilliat & Co.'s Tobacco Circular
ToSDoy October 1853

From John &. Gilliat Il Co.'s Tobacco Circular.
LONDON, October l, 1868.
Throughout the whole Of last month the
demand was exceedingly quiet. The trade
bought most sparingly, and only as in need.
Exporters took about 500 hogsheads Tugs
and common leaf at 3933sd., and at these
prices they are likely to 60 on. There can
be no doubt now that the last crop was as
small as was generally estimated, and also
that the make of strips was on very re-
duced scale. Stocks in Europe must soon
show comparative elimination, and prices
should sympathise accordingly. On the
other hand, we have accounts that the crop
now being harvested, with the exception OF
Missouri, is large in quantity and fine in
quality, and it is supposed in some quarters
that the policy of shippers may be to re-
lieve themselves Of existing stocks, and re-
place with better quality at lower price.
We can discern no speculative feeling, and
as regards the trade and dealers, they are
content to work on, as they have been doing,
from hand to mouth. Sampling of the new
import has not yet commenced; it will,
however, be general this month.
Cotton.-The demand moderate. Stocks
greatly reduced. Trade In Manchester ls
reported quiet. The accounts from the
East report markets as unremunerative foI
yarns and cloths.

ing in the nineteenth line of the said
clause, Immediately after the words sshail

Church from officiating in any parish

with the consent of the clergyman in charge
of such congregation, or in his absence, of
the church wardens and ycstrymen or trus-
tees of such congregation, or of majority
of them
motion to postpone this resolution in
favor Of unfinished business was offered
and adopted.
The question before the Convention then
became the following resolutions, as re-
ported from the Committee on Canons yes
terday:
Resolved, The House of Bishops concur.
ring, that the alteration Of the Constitution,
together with the amendment of the canons
recommended in the succeeding resolution
be proposed, and that the same be made
known to the several diocesan conventions
in pursuance of Article XI. Of the Consti-
tution-viz.,
Resolved, That Article V. of the Consti-
tuition be amended as follows /. By adding
to the second clause of said article the fol-
lowing words: e" And such consent shall not
be given by the General Convention until
satisfactory assurance Of suitable provision
for the support Of the episcopate in the
contemplated new diocese shall have been
given and accepted" 2. BY striking out
all Of the third clause except the words
" no city shall form more than one do
cese." 3. BY inserting the words "or
more" between the words 1.-TWO" and
"dioceses " ia the first line Of the fourth
| clause. 4. BY inserting the words or
more" between the words "two" and
"dioceses " in the first line of the fifth
clause, and by striking out the word "two F"
before the word "dioceses !" in the third
! line.
ind further resolved, That the following
| be adopted as n new cannon, to be section
4 of canon 6, of title 3: No new diocese
| shall be formed which shall contain less
than six parishes or less than six presby-
| tiers, who have been ut least one year
economically resident within the bounds Of
such new diocese, and regularly settled in
a parish or congregation therein, and quail
fed to vote for a bishop. Nor shall any
new diocese be formed if thereby any ex-
listing diocese shall be reduced so as to con-
tain less than thirty parishes or less than
twenty presbyters, who have been residing
and settled, and qualified as above men
toned.
BY decisive vote the Convention decided
that, before the creation of new diocese,
| provision for the maintenance of the epis-
copate satisfactory to the General Conven-
ton should be made.
The feature of the session to-day was the
reference to committee of proposals to
amend canon II, title l, forbidding clergy
men of other denominations to ofticiate in
Episcopal churches. A determined attempt
was made by the Low Church members to
table the resolution, but it failed.
