The nomination Of Mr. Williams
for Chief Jus,ice appears to have been
received with disfavor. No less than
fifteen Republican Senators, including
several o the most prominent Of the
body, express themselves in opposition.
One Senator said that the Supreme
Court was one OF the coordinate
branches OF the Government, the Chief
Justice in his sphere was the equal Of
the President and OF Congress, and such
a place was only proper to be filled by
one OF the most eminent jurists OF the
country. When the Senate went into
executive session to-day the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. williams was laid on the
table, the tacit understanding being that
the Senate would prefer, il consideras
ton Of the nominee having go lately
been q member OF the body, that the
President would Withdraw the nomina-
ton, rather than they should reject it.
1t has been customary for the Senate to
confirm at once member, or an ex'
member, when nominated for Office by
the President Judge Williams, when
member Of the Senate, was popular
with his associates, and as a debstor
appeared very creditably. After he was
nominated tor Attorney General the
Senate followed its custom and confirm
e1 him at once, but, while recognizing
his ability, many OF them do not regard
him az a fit person for this high po.i-
ton, and have therefore, though reluc-
family, felt compelled to withhold, for
the present a. least, their voice fog HE

fort has yet been made to secure the
desired end. steps should al
once be taken to do go. Il
the Kanawha Valley desire:
to hold it, what little shred OF local in
huence it may give them, or even upon
pa-tizan grounds, let the issue be made
now, so that the people may know next
fall just where their representatives
stand upon the qustion. This matter
is above partisan interests. 1t affects
all the people regardless of party. We
verify believe had the Legislature met
at Wheeling last winter, one half Of
the cost OF legislation would have been
saved, and that, without the necessity
of the present session. We have the
utmost respect for the Charleston
people, but they ought not to expect the
balance of creation TO suffer that they
may grow by any advantages, that
may accrue by reason OF its being the
capital OF the State. There are plenty
OF other places having an equal right
TO development through such patron
age, and as all cannot be gratified, then
place it at a point that will at least
yrove equally beneficial to all, and will
certainly give the people Of every part
OF the State an opportunity OF being in-
formed upon all State matters, and OF
advising upon short notice with those
who represent them.

The VfTginius.

Admiral Polo and Secretary Fish
since they signed the Protocol on Sat.
urday. have been in perfect accord
concerning the arrangements for the
restoration of the Virginius and sur.
vivors. The port to which the Vir.
ginius shall be brought may depend
upon her sea-going condition. Official
Information does not excite apprehen-
sion that this part OF the protocol will
be seriously, if at all embarrassed
Everything thus far has been done with
calmness on the part of the representa-.
tiyes OF the two governments.
LATER.
1t has been decided to deliver the
steamer Virginius to representatives Of
the United States in the harbor oI
Havana. The American fleet will
concentrate at Key West as early az
possible, and on receipt of instructions
from Secretary Robson will proceed to
Havana and their formally receive the
Virginius. The details OF the ceremo-
nes 10 be observed on the occasion
have been agreed to, but have not yet
been made public. In case the
Havaneans refuse to give up the vessel
it will be the duty Of Congress to pass
au act authorizing the President to
direct the commander of the naval
fleet at Havana to take her by force.
The Spanish government objects to
delivering the Nirginius at an Ameri-
can port, fearing that an order 10 that
effect would exasperate the Spaniards
in Cuba and perhaps cause them to
commit acts which would render war
inevitable. 1t is thought that the APP
pearance OF strong feet Of American
wal vessels st Havana would have the
effect OF oveIawing the volunteers and
cause them TO quietly submit TO the
surrender of the Virginius.
Caucuses on Committees.
Both the Republican and Democratic
Senators held csucuses to-day, on the
sutjsc: OF standing committees, but
came 10 no conclusion.
Cnban Affairs.
Secretary Robson this morning re.
cciyed q dispatch from Captain Braine,
Of the Juniata, now at Santiago De
Cuba, announcing his arrival there.
He had visited the VirGinius prisoners,
and found one hundred and one still
alive, sixty-!our being the number exc
Gated. AS soon as the Spanish officers
complete their arrangements for the
prisoners, they will be distributed on
board. the Juniata and Kansas, and
brought to the United States.

that the Virginius Was not entitled to
carry the flag OF the United States, and
was carrying it at the time OF her cap
ture without right and improperly, the
salute will be.spontaneously dispensed
with as, in such case, not being necessa-
~ or reputable; but the United States
will expect in such case a declsimer OF
intent ofiudlgnity to its flag, in the act
which was committed.
Furthermore, il on or before the
2jth Of December, 1878, it shall be
made to appear TO the satisfaction Of
the United States that the Nrgnius
did not righttully carry the American
flag, and was not entitled 10 American
papers, the United States will institute
inquiry and adopt legal proceedings
against the vessel. II it be found that
she has violated any law OF the United
States, and against any OF the persons
who may appear TO have been guilty OF
illegal acts in connection Herewith, II
being understood that Spain will pro-
ceed according TO the second PROPOSE
ton made to General Sickles, and COM
municated in his telegram read to Ad-
miral Polo on the 9th inst, to invests
gate the conduct OF those authorities
who have arrsyed Spanish laws and
honorary obligations, and will arraign |
them before a competent court and in
flict punishment on them who may
have offended.
"Other reciprocal reclamations 10 be
subject TO consideration aud arrange
ment between the two Governments
and in case OF no agreement, 10 be the
subject OF arbitration, on the constltu-
tional assent Of the Senate OF the United
States given thereto.
at is further stipulated that the time,
manner and place for the surrender Of
the Vlrgnius and the survivors OF those
who were on board OF her at the time
Of her capture, and also the time, man
ner and place for the salute TO the flag
Of the United States, il there should be
occasion for such salute, shall be sub

Position of Bishop Cummins.

The following letter from Bishop
Cummins is made public:
Dear Brother: The Lord has put in.
to the hearts Of some Of his servant
wh o are, or who have been, in the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, the purpose
OF restoring the old paths Of their faith =
ers and OF returning to the use Of the
prayer book OF l7S5, set forth by the
general convention Of that year, under
the special guidance Of the venerable
William White, D. D., aiterward the
bishop OF the same church in this
country. The chief features Of that
prayer,book, as distinguished from the
one now in use, are the following:
l. The word priest" does not appear
in the book, and there is no counte-
nance whatever to the errors OF sacer>
dotalism.
=. The baptismal Offices, the con-
firmation office, the catechism, and
the order for the administration Of the
Lords Supper contain no sanction OF
the errors OF baptismal regeneration,
the real presence OF the body and blood
Of Christ in the elements OF the com-
munion, and 0: O. sacrifice offered by
priest in that sacred feast These are
the main features that render the
PRAYER hook OF 1885 q thoroughly
Scriptural liturgy, such as al evangeli-
cal Christians, who desire liturgical
worship, can use with good consci-
erce.
On Tuesday, the 81 Gay Of December,
1873, q meeting will be held in Associ-
alton Hall, corner OF Twenty-third
street and Fourth avenue, IN NewY ork
city, at 10 o'clock A. N, to organize an
Episcopal Church on the basis of the
PRAYER book of l7S5, a basis broad
enough to embrace all who hold the
faith once delivered to the saints" as
that faith il maintained by the reform
Churches G! Chrstcniom, with no ex-
elusive aHi unChurching dogmas to-
ward Christian brethren who differ
from them in their views OF polity and
church order. This meeting you are
cordially and aIeciionately invited to
attend. The purpose OF the meeting is
10 organize and not to discuss the ex-
pediency Of organizing. The verbatim
reprint OF the prayer book Of 1885 is in
press, aai will be Issued during the
month Of December.
May the Lord guide you and US by
