THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THE EPISCO-
PAL CHURCH.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: The project for changing the government of
the Episcopal Church in the United States as adopted
after tho Revolution by introducing the Anglican
system of Provincial Councils, with an Archbishop
or Metropolitan, to which we alluded last week, dur
ing the debate of the Diocesan Convention. will form
one of the most interesting and important subjects
for discussion in the General Triennial Convention
now in session in Trinity Chapel The present Con-
stitution adopted in 17s9 the birthyear of the
National Constitution, and, as Bishop Hobart hap
PLY showed in carefully drawn parallel, its authors
had accorded the framework of its government to
the sentiments of the people and the form of the
new Republic The separate Dioceses were equally
independent of each other each had its annual con-
yention composed of two orders-the officiating
clergy and lay delegates from each parish, presided
over by its Bishop and each Diocesan Convention
sent equal number of clerical and lay delegates
to form the Lower House of its General or National
Convention in which the Upper House, correspond
ing TO the Senate was composed of Bishops Of equal
dignity, however great might be the disparity in the
extent, the population, or the importance of their
respective Dioceses. Within a few years past,
eral Dioceses have been divided but thus far the
equality of the Doceses and the parity of the Bish
ops have been preserved. In 1884, the Rev. Dr.
Mcyickar introduced into tho Diocesan Convention
Of New-York, in Wow of tho early requirements
of a larger number of Bishops resolution ask
ing the General Convention to organize g tho
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States into Provinces" An accompanying plan
provided that each province should include
four or more Dioceses, and have Provincial
Council of two houses the upper of the Bishops and
tho lower of Clerical and Lay Delegates. That this
Council should have the exclusive power of making
and altering the Constitutions and CanOns. subject
only to the General Convention and of sending dol.
egatcs to the General Convention. Tho aeXt year.

The Southern Associated Press-which Is an
association formed for the purpose of apply
ing the principles of Cooperation to the busi-
ness of Lying-gives us its version of Bureau
officers version of his agents version of the
white Rebels version of the troubles at Ope-
lOusas, La. The whole matter, it appears, was
merely a little misunderstanding. Certain
Rebels concluded to administer a Gaming to a
newspaper editor, whose remarks had seemed
to them unanswerable by any other style
of argument His friends were deceived into
a belief that he had been killed, and
gathered in large numbers to avenge his
death. The Rebels fastened to explain and
correct the misunderstanding, but in doing so
they found it necessary to destroy his printing
Office and disarm his friends In thus dlsarm-
ing them, the Rebels accidentally killed seven
and wounded twenty or twenty-five more
This was the whole affair." which reckless
and malignant partisan press is cxaggerating

The Roman Catholic synod recently held in
this city gave cOmmendable emphasis to the
DEGREES of the last council of Baltimore re-
specting the Freedmen, and we have great
hope that the American Catholics may be in
duced to follow the traditional policy Of their
church and do something more for the negroes
than they have ever done yet. If Catholicism
is good for white people it is good for colored
people too, and the Roman Church in past time
has done many good Offices toward slaves, for
which she is entitled to lasting honor. We
are glad to hear the Bishops urging the estab-
lishment of colored schools and orphan asy-
lums in the Southern States but how tremen-
dously significant is the reason they give for
insisting especially upon the latter work,
namely, because from the unsettled condition
"of the Southern States it is to Jeteared that

Gen. Blair has found an indorser. Seymour
may explain away his doctrines, and The
World may deny him with as much vche-

of war. "If the Radicals should attempt to
"rule out the vote of Virginia, the Democracy

that gallant old State" There's n backer

The Liberals of Spain have always agreed
with the Liberals of the United States and of
every civilized country of the world in an active
opposition to Slavery. 1t is therefore certain
that the coming Cortes will put an end to
Slavery in all the Spanish possessions. In an
ticipation of this decree the Provisional Junta
will at once free the children of the blacks
After the abolition of Slavery in the Spanish
Colonies the Governments of Portugal and
Brazil will be the only ones in the civilized
world which tolerate it. The latter country
has of late years while under Liberal Admin
istrations, taken steps to hasten Abolition bat
now a Conservative Ministry is in power and
the opponents of Liberal institutions, in Brazil
as elsewhere, endeaYor to put off Abolition as
long as they can.

Democratic mathematcians, after ciphering out
a Democratic majority in Maine, and gain in
Connecticut, by the process of subtracting the
greater from the less, and proving a dividend
twice as large as the divisOr, have now per-
formed a feat which throws all their previous

The great Rollins conspiracy case came to
an end yesterday morning, when Mr. Rollins
and his associates were honorably discharged.
We congratulate the Revenue Commissioner
upon this triumphant vindicltion of his char
acter from the asperSions of the whisky ring,
and the defeat of Mr.. Andrew Johnsons at
tempt to ruin man whom he could not re-
move. Our satisfaction at the result, however,
is not unclouded. We cannot forget that the
vindcatiOn of Rollins is the collapse of Binck-
ley. That distinguished jurist was especially
detailed to manage this investigation. He
went into the case with an ardOr only equaled
by the courage with which he also went into
District Attorney Courtney. Yet it seems that
his Journeys from Washington, his threats and
his promises, his fights at the Astor House,
have all been in vain. We should have been
glad to believe in Buckley, but if he can do
no better than this we shall have to give him
up. Buckley, we are afraid, is humbug.
