character from the impuIations cast thereon by
| the proceedings IN secret session OF the ConVen-
! ton which refused TO confirm him as Bishop oi
Illinois. Mr.. william Welsh, OF Philadelphia, who
procured the main testimony, which resulted iu
| Professor Seymouris defeat now comes to the
front and traverses that genreman's tissue OF
Factn and comes verv near to, II he does not actu-
ally succeed in showing 1t 10 be an lssue OF nctfon
or OF falsshooa on the part OF several persons
whose testimony had been thus gathered and
published.
Mr. Welsh's letter Is addressed to the Bishop OF
his own diocese aud Is published In fui herewith,
except that hts letter to Dr. Houghton OF this city
