An Appeal to the Friends Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.


To the Members and Friends Of the Protest
phis;
The undersigned are 3 committee to
SOLICIT subscriptions to pay OF the bal.
snce Of purchase money due for the
Episcopal residences on Poplar street.
Before calling in person upon individuals
they make the following statement, so
that all who read it may understand the
merits Of the case without stopping TO
hear verbal explanations.
In the month of January, 1866, the
Diocese of Tennessee purchased the resi-
dence of the late Bishop Otey from his
executors, to be held as q residence for
the Bishop OF the Diocese to which Mem
phis should belong. The price was
sl8, OOe, Of which $4,000 was paid Ia
cash. The great distress in money mat
tsfs has, up 10 this time, prevented tho
raising of the balance, amounting TO
about 1000. The property is about to
be sold now, without redemption, under
dscres Of the Chaneery Court for the
unpaid purchase money. And thus for
the want of $1,000 we are likely to lose
the property and the whole of the money
already paid.
In this emergency Bishop Qaintard,
Who oontribpisd Que thousand dollars to
he-original purchase, offers to donate,
through the aid Of distant friends, the
further sun Of two thousand dollars, pre-
vided We will ourselves raise FIVE thou

The probability of General Slcklss
receiving the Mexican mission and Gem
eraI Buttsrfield the mission to Spain
inspires the question az TO whether they
,willsretain their commissions ia the
army, or be granted leave Of absence
during their civil service. The same
inquiry arises in the cese of General
Rswlins, Secretary of War; The feeling
is generally adverse to military men
holding two positions, even though but
one salary is drawn. The Senate bill
providing against such cases not having
passed, there is no legal barrier against
these officers continuing to hold their
com missions, in case leave of absence
has been granted them. a.,ssa,.s,s, 3 ssslesRs
