Next year, says the Kingston lJamaica)
GUARDIAN the law which provides for the mai0-
tcuance of the Established Church in Jamaica
expires by eftluSlon of time, aud great anxiety
is manifested by the ecclesiastical digni aries OF
the colony regarding Der future. Anotuer effort
is TO be made by his Lor6ship at the Colonial
Office, in the hope that matters are not too far
gone to prevent the Church being LETT entirely
to the voluntary support OF It's adhcrents. Tue
very fear OF such a crisis iu the history of the
Church in Jamaica has produced revolutions in
this body she has suddenly sprung into life
become missionary and active in her opera
tions-such an amount of energy aud earnest
ness has never been known in the Church
before, and it is the responsibility o. sefsupport
that as produced this wondrous change in her
constitution.
Tue election of bishops+by a majority of one
seems 10 be growing into p fashion among our
EpsCopaan brethren. The new BISHOP of
Albany holds his Office by majority OF one vote
or the aty, aS the Bishop OF Long Island holds
his by majority of one vote OF the clergy.
Bishop Potter presided III both cases; but we
have not heard that he travelled out OF his Juris
diciion by scratching a name from the roll in
order to secure the election OF DR.. Doaue as he
did for DR.. LittleiOhn. In looking over the nine
several ballots which took place before the Con-
ventlOn could be brought to elevate high
ritUalist to episcopal power, we hud that the
iaity began with strong leaning 10 DR.. Hdnt-
ington. as a Low Church candidate At the
third ballot which was the first that gave DR..
Doane majority of the clergy, DIR, Huntington
had thirty. our votes, being two more than
majority of the aity. 1t was only at the eighth
ballot that DR.. DOane gained 4 lay plurality
over the Low Church candidate, aud at the
ninth a clean majority over au.-N. I. Iade'

st. Paul blocked the little game Of the Jews
by appealh G 10 Caesar That is be called upon
the law to protect INN in the enjoyment Of the
tights which the law had given, SO long as those
rights were not forfeited by acts which the law
had forbidden. DI. Lolenso did the same with
his High Church Prosecutors, and is thus secure
in his prerogatves as lawful bishop Of the
Church of England by law established. The
bishops in the colonies - in south Africa,
Canada, New Zealand aud else Where--are trying
various ways BY which they can secure to them
selves the prerogatives granted by the Church
OF England, without beng held amenable to the
laws Of England as TO their use of tho powers
they claim by their office. In New South
Wales the experiment is going on Of synod
which is independent of the stare. But the
trouble is, what to do With tue bishop. Under
the laws Of England the bishop is sole trier Of
ecclesiastical oieuses, and has the sole right OF
presentation to vacant parishes. But freed from
safe control, the synod thinks the people who
support a clergyman ought 10 have voice in
| choosing him. And the CLERGY are unwilling 10
be lrsd by any tribunal which will cut them
! Oft nom the right of appeal to the laws OF
| England. There is probably no way in which
church organization can enjoy The benefit OF
| religious freedom, and at the same time
| retain the prerOgaives empowered Oy legal
establishment.-N Y. Hadepeade5d.
