Yerger is progressing slowly. The
right of Gen. Granger, President of
the Commission, to sit on the case,
was challenged by the defense, on the
ground that he had formed an opinion

the Commission. The challenge was
sustained, aud General Granger with
drew. Gen. Swift is now President.
The defense thereon rendered a plea
to the jurisdiction of the Commission,
on the ground that Yerger being a
citizen, and has never been in the
army or navy of the Uaited States,
the offensc is against the laws or Con-
stitution of the United States, and he
cannot be tried except by Indictment
before the Grand Jury, and that
the Commission has not the right to
try him, except upon such indict-
ment.

RELIGIOUS NEWS.

A UNION DECLINED.-It having been cur
rently reported in England that the Episcopal
Church In this country and the MrthodistS
were verging towards a union, the Rev. DR.
Stevens, one of the leading divines of the
Methodist Church, wrote to England an ex-
pllclt denial of the whole story. In the course
OF his letter, which is published in the Wes-
leyan papers, he says:
know not one Methodist in the RepubIic
who believes there can be any Identification of
the two Churches. There certainly can be no
such union without the fullest concession of the
validity OF our OrdinatOn sacraments, &C.
This concession will never be made by the High
church party Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church; and no Methodist expects, therefore,
that any result will come of these prelimina-
rles. We are Presbyterian Church, with an
eplScopacy as an executive office, not as divine
order. We cannot compromise our relations
to the Presbyterianism of the Protestant world. !

reunion with the comparatively small Pro !

brethren in England"
