says: There is much gossip as 20 the secret ses-
sion here of the Episcopal magnates for the
conservation of bishops. There is a great di-
yersity of opinion because before the conven-
ton went into secret session vote was taken
on the expediency of allowing persons who had
come from Illinois to hear the discussion on the
case of DIR. Seymour to retain their seats.
The motion was lost and among those who
had to retire under the rule were the stand

OF three laymen and three ministers
They We're appointed as in every other diocese
to regulate the affairs of their church during
the three years intervals between the General
Conventions. They. were all in favor of DR..
action taken taken by DR.. Sullivan and other
members of the Illinois deputation, who, they
they say have been false to their trust. They
consider themselves entitled to seats in the
house and speak of the secret sessions as some
thing unprecedented and unwarrantable They
call It a conspiracy Matched in New York, nav
ing for its object the defeat of DR.. Seymour.

forth very gratifying results. There has been
steady decrease in the state debt, amount

burdens of taxation have been much light
