AN Anti itualist Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church has been
called to be held at Chicago on the
10th of June next. A large number
of clergymen have signed a vigorous
protest against the new teachings of
Bishop WHIFEHoUsE, Drs. DIX, DE-
KovEN andothersa as being "maehina-
tons and devices that are employed
for unprotestantizing this Protestant
Episcopal Church, corrupting her doc
tripe, debasing her worship, and over
turning her long-established rites, GER
emonies and usages.n The cali for
the proposed Convention Is signed by
a large number of the clergy of that
denomination, in all quarters of the
country, and is addressed to the Evan
gelical Clergy and Laity of the Church
throughout the United States.

THE result of the recent French
elections, Notwithstanding the sleep
less vigilance of the Emperor and his
agents, appears, from the published
reports, to be a victory for the Liber-
ais, who will enter the Corps Legisla-
tiff, or lower house of the French Par
Lament, with double the strength
they had last year. Those of that
party, like JULES FAvRE and the his
tOrian THEIRS, who have been de-
feated, belong to the Conservative
wing. All the more extreme mem
bers of it have been elected, a fact that
must conveying a foreboding signifi-
canoe to Napoleon, when coupled with
the recent emeutes throughout the

THE opposition offered by the bond
holders to Mr.. BoUTwELL's policy of
purchasing bonds with gold, at their
market value, and retiring them in a
sinking fund authorized by act of Con-
gress, is exciting a great deal of atten-
ton as likely to increase the popular
clamor against that class. Headed by
such men as A. T. STEWART, this
privileged bondhoIding ~aristocracy
are about to move upon Gen. GRANT
with a request that the position and
plans of the Secretary of the Treasury
be receded from, as calculated materi-
ally to affect their interests and inn
pair their capital stock by the pay
ment of the debt of the Republic.
Though heretofore the President has
manifested a desire to cater to this
class, among whom he num-
.bers his best and most intimate
friends, We IRE not prepared TO be-
lieve that he will deliberately array
himself with them in defiance ofwhat
is not alone sound Democratic policy,
but what has in a thousand ways re-
ceived the endorsement of the Repub-
lican party, especially of the great
Northwest. We cannot believe that
he who processes so great an anxiety
to relieve the country of the debt and
the crushing and grinding taxation
that it eompels, viii turn his
back deliberately upon the most
feasible plan yet presented for the
payment of the one and the re-
ductiOn of the other. 1t is true that
this plan deals very roughly with the
declarations of Congressional bond
holders that the Government cannot,
without dishonor, pay or redeem its
bonds in anything but coin at one
hundred cents on the dollar of their
face value; that it boldly asserts on
the contrary that Government can go
upon the market and buy its bonds
for less than their face, if they offer,
and also avail itself of all the ups and
downs of monetary affairs brought
about by the same b~Ondholders OF
their agents. But we imagine this
will not have weight with GRANT,
who will, for once, turn a deaf a to
bondholders and Congressman alike,
and strengthen the hands of the Treas
urer, who strangely enough, for a
Massachusetts, %Olitician, has fixed
upon a policy that promises to benefit
the whole people. 1t is the right
policy, and we predict viii rally to its
support the thanking and true men of
all parties.

WE learn that the Grand Jury OF
the Criminal Court are examining the
bonds of Our county officials, and that
they have already pronounced up
on those of one of, them as in
sufficient because of the already
pronounced opinion of the Circuit
Court, as to the capacity of one of his
bondsman. When they get through
with the county officials, the Grand
Jury proposes to look into the bonds
of those of the city, and to pay special
attention to the Constables, only two

THE New York World says one of
the best illustrations of the practical
operation of the theories of the pro
tectionists, is seen in the effect which
the present tariff has upon the shoe
trade. a few years ago the Lynn
manufacturers were able to compete
with other countries in the shoe trade
for Cuba, Mexico and South America;
but, under the practical operation of
the protection theories, the cost of
every article which enters into the
manufacture of shoes has increased to.
such an extent that they cannot be
made at prices at which they can be
exported. The result is, that our shoe
manufacturers have almost entirely
lost the foreign trade in that article,
and that the Lynn factories are obliged
to remain idle one-third of the year.
Such are some Of the blessings of pro-
lection which the New York Tribune
so Zealously advocates.

UII1I THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY WILL DO

1t is generally conceded that the
Democratic party will not make any
nomination for Governor, and that the
race will be made without any inter
ruptiOn by Us, by SENTER as a Repub-
lican and STOKES as a Radical. We
have carefully noted the articles upon
this question appearing in our State
papers, and find that they are
unanimously in favor of this course.
We will, then, let the Governorship
4" severely alone" and leave to the
politicians above named the labor and
profits of a canvass in the d~og-days.
As to voting for either one of them,
that will be a matter for each Conserv-
alive and Democrat to decide for him.
self. Should they determine in favor
of exercising the right, of course they
will choose the least of the two evils,
which will be made apparent as the
contestants progress with a canvass
that promises to be as heated as the
weather, and as rich in results as the
late Radical Convention.

A WASHINGTON special to the New
York Times says Secretary boutwell,
proposes to have the returns of the
sales Of confscated property in the
Southern States overhauled, as it is
rumored that some of the United
States officials have neglected to pay
the receipts from sales into the Treas
ury. It is believed that it may pos
sibly appear that some of the United
States officers have purchased confis-
Gated property sold under their au-
thority at low prices, and then failed
to account for the scanty proceeds.

THE Augusta Chronicle 0IF Sentinel
says'it continues to receive from all
sections of Georgia most discouraging
accounts of the cotton crop. The con-
tinued cold nights and the recent cold
winds which have prevailed through
out the entire eastern and middle sec
tons of the State have caused the
plant to die, and in many localities
the crop has been plOwed up and re-
planted in corn. There can be no
the slightest doubt that the
crop is at least twenty TO twenty-five
days later than usual, and that the
stand is generally very deficient. If
the season should become more favor
able, at an early day a fair crop may
be made, but this is quite uncertain.

LIE EEEErr OF N

The effect Of the recent decision of
the Supreme Court, in the case of the
State VS.. Staten, charged with illegal
voting under and by virtue of a
registration paper of 1867, is to enfran-
chise every man registered under the
franchise law as passed by the Legis-
lature after the Convention of 1864,
and to give to c~ontesting Democratic
candidates, whether of the late Ju-
dicial or Congressional election, all the
advantages they would certainly
have derived from the votes of the
thousands who throughout the State
were entitled to vote by virtue of en-
reimbursement under said original
enactment. Thus, SMITH will be
shown to be several thousand behind
LEFTwICH, the Democratic candidate
for Congress, fairly elected and justly
entitled to the seat now occupied by
that Radical; and Chancellor SMITH,
and all other Radicals claiming to be
elected at the election of Thursday,
will be compelled to give way before
the majorities that ear be increased
by such of the supporters of
their opponents as have been
denied registration by DAVIS,
SEARS and WILLIAMS, and every
Registrar who has Oficiated in
Shelby county since Mr.. GARLAND P.
WARE, as County Court Clerk, acted
in that capacity in 1865. 1t may and
will be alleged that those disfran-
chised by the Registrars did not ap-
pear at the polls and there contend for
their right to vote, and therefore are
debarred from the benefits of this en-
actment; but, on the other hand, it
viii be alleged, and very properly so,
we a%pprehend, that the excessive and
severe laws, by virtue of which it was
sought to punish STATEN for attempt
ing to vote under like circumstances,
debarred and prevented them and
prohibited even an attempt by them
to exercise what the Supreme Court
says was a right vested in them by
law, and that could not be taken away
only by due process of law. This,
we think, win be the grand effect
Of this decision, through which we
can see a channel made for the sue
cess of the white race and the re-
establishment of order in all de-
partments of our State government.
Had it come to us on Tuesday, or
even Wednesday of last week, its
effects would have been magical, and
the result of the judicial election been
changed from doubt, contention and
litigation to certainty and satisfaction
on the part of the Conservative masses
of the State. But better late than
never. We must be satisfied and be
thankful, Notwithstanding the mill of
the Supreme Court has ground slowly
and not as fine as perhaps it may
when the grain that is now being
thrown into its hopper shall be fairly
tested between the upper and neither
stones Of judgment.
