elected assistant bishop of the Episcopal Do
cese Of MARYLAND, of.which Bishop Whiting
ham is bishop. For some time the question OF
elec.lng an assistant bishop has been urged
upon the attention of Episcopalians of Mary

of Bishop whittingham, which have rendered
It necessary for him at times to call in the aid
of bishops of other States to assist him in the
performances Of his Episcopal duties. DR.; Pink

The, luxury which pervades the White
House reminds one of the magnificent splendor
that characterized the days of the Roman En-
pire. President Grant and his family are
milking themselves very popular in the social
line giving brillisat receptions, bountilm
lunches and entertainments of all sorts. The
tables, are always set out with the choicest
fruits the markets of the world afford, while
the rarest flowers and the most luscious wines,
in.golt and silver goblets, adorn the massive
sideboards of the Presidential Mansion, and
alttkls at the expense Of an over-taxed and
suffering people.
The troubles In the Methodist Book Con-
Germ at New York have broken out again In a
new form, and promise long and tedious In
vestigation. In the first instance charges of
maiversation against some of the managers,
and heavy losses to the concern were made,
and Investigated by the, book committee. This
Investigation resulted in report from the ma
jority e1onerating the managers and declaring
the losses trivial and easily accounted for. A
minority report, sustaining the charges, was
also submitted; but as itseemed to be eaccepted
by.prees and public, all but the official organs
of The denomination, q new feature has been
introduced in the case, in the impeachment
and trial Of Dr.. Lanahan, the Junior book
agent, who first discovered the "irregu-
larities" and preferred the charges. A
sufficient number of the committee to
make it official signed telegraphic
callfor meeting of the whole Book Commit
tee in New York, and on Thursday the session
began. The proceedings are secret, but ii Is
understood that DIR. Lanahan is on his trial for
bringing scandal upon the church, witt FIVE
charges and numerous specifications preferred
against him In support of this accusation.
Whether this means Of preventing scandal will
prove eflcacious remains to be seen, but it is
considered certain that the offending agent Is
to be suspended, pending his trial, which will
result in his expulsion should the charges
against him be sustained. 1t is stated that
majority of the bishops and Of the denomina-
ton at large. are on the side of DR.. Lanahan,
and it is equally for the good of the denomina-
ton and the public interest that the whole
matter should have final and equitable set
tlement..
"A Washington dispatch, of Friday, says
ga. trick was played upon the House to-day by
Mr.. Cessna, from the Committee of Elections,
who had charge of the case Of Wallace VS..
Simpson, contested election for representative
from the fourth district of South Carolina. The
indications when this case was called up be-
fore were that the opposition from members
of both parties to the admission of either can
didate would be strong. Simpson was ineligible
under the Fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution, but he received the highest number
Of votes, and the committee reported that
