Mr.. and Mrs MOTLEY, with their daugh-

during the debate in the House of Lords on the
Greek massacre. Not one Of the other foreign
ministers in England seems to have carried his
sympathy for the three murdered Englishmen to
that extent. MIR. MorLsY, however, has special
reasons for beng so excessively sentimental

nation during our civil war. Gen. GRANT issues

Our correspondent is mistaken. A few

LEYs nomination and election as Governor !;
but for some time past We have seen that it
would not do. His surprising failure in the
negotiations about the new charter and the
election law, in which the Republican party
was sold out to the Democrats, proves that
he cannot safely be intrdsted with Executive
power. Some of the Republican man.

10 elect any Republican and regard poor Mr..

Mr.. CARLYLE is evidently one Of those men
who do not care TO have his fellow men con-

Two gentlemen in Washington have been
thrsting for each others blood. Events have
shown, however, that they were not so very
thirsty after all. They have finally restrained
themselves from quailing the ruby but unploasan
liquid. The gentlemen like most distinguished
Americans, have military titles. One of them is
Major HUTcEINs, the other Col. WAsHINGroS.
Their seconds reoiced in even superior rank,
Gen. JONES and Gen SMrH are the aristocrauc
titles and the rather unarisocratc names OF these
officers. WAsHISGToN was formerly rebel and
is now newspaper correspondent. HuTcmSs
is described as "a man Of hhputian stature,
scarcely four feet high, whom the Washingtoni-
ans ken to frog in Wellington boots" This
four-fooer, It seems had the audacty to walk up
to Col. WAsHISGroS, who is six-footer, in the
gallery Of the Senate and to give his political
opinions on the Fifteenth Amendment. Now,
though but four feet high, HUrcHINs is Repub-
can, every inch Of him, while WAsmSGroN's :
entire six feet, including his boots, are Demo
cratic. OF course, therefore, the Majors polit-
cal opinions were gall and woImwooi to tho
Colonel. Moreover, the Major had neglected the
little formality of being introduced. What pos
sible thing could colonel be expected to do un.
der such circumstances except to fare upp And
fare up he did, as became his rank. The follow
ing was his language, somewhat toned down from
its native force:
Damn you, sir, don't know you and damn
you sir, don't want know you; and damn you,
sir il had my way I'd hang every one OF YOU
sir"
The Colonel was brief and to the point. lie
conveyed his sentiments to the Mgior in compact
aud intelligble form. Every sentence was like
the crack of pistol Perhaps their explosive
nature made the Major think of pistols, for think

The Protestant Episcopal Convention of
New Hampshire has elected the Rev. WILLIAM W.
NILES, Of Connecticut, Bishop Of the diocese, in
place Of the late Bishop CHAsE. The Rev. DR..
Corr, Of Concord, N. H., was the choice Of the
clergy, but the laity refused to concur in the
nomination, and after six ballotings a committee
Of conference appointed, which resulted in
the election Of Mr. NILES. The Bishop elect is
Professor of Latin in Trinity College, Hartford,
and has charge of st. Johns parish, Warehouse
Point, on the Connecticut river above Hartford.
He is a native of Maine, and reputed to be a
learned and godly man. His competitor, DR..
Corr, is q native Of Connecticut. II is a rather
curious fact that Connecticut the home of the
Blue Laws, should lie the State from which no
nconsderable number of American bishops,
from Bishop SE,BrRY down TO Professor NILEs,
have bcch selected and that in no other part of
the United States is the Protestant Episcopal
Church in a more lourshlng condition. Not less
remarkable is the fact that the MoRRILLs and
EwERs, and other leaders Of the advanced ritual
lists in the United States, are sprung from the
strlctest sect Of the New England Puritans.
