Political Notes.

Ii is said that the recent building of the
Chicago Custom House was piece of IA
vorite jobbery, built of worthless stone, by
contractor Mueller, from plans and speci-
cations Of Architect Mullett, and that the
entire building will have to be taken down
to its foundations, and rebuilt, ut an ex-
pensc to the government of two millions
OF dollars. 1t is notorious fact, that, in
one way or another, there is nearly as
much money stolen, as It takes, or ought
to take, for the support of the government.
The fact is that all the signs Of the
times indicate that there viii be no use
aud no room for third party in 1876.
The fight viii be between the Republican
and Democratic parties, and neither Of
them will take up with u non-committal,
betwixt and between sort Of man like Mr..
Adams. Indianapolis Journal (Rep.)
Murat Halstead, Of the Cincinnati Com
merciot is positively certain that Grant
will insist on third nomination. In
which event he thinks the Republican
convention will break up, and two tickets
be nominated.
If Montgomery Blair succeeds in nomi-
mating john w. Garrett for President,
Tom Scott will have to trot out again

The ninety-seeond annual Convention
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church Of the
Diocese Of Maryland assembled In Grace
Church, Baltimore, on Wednesday. There
was a full attendance Of delegates from all
parts Of the Diocese. The usual commit
tees Were appointed, and Bishop Whit
tingham read his annual report. In il he
adyerted to the action Of the Standing
Committee in presenting the rector and
assistant rector Of Mount Calvary Church
for certain rltualistic practices not author
lied by the standards. and to the rumor
that he himself had been presented to the
Senior Bishop for refusing to take notice
of these charges Bishop Nottingham
offered M amendment to canon !, making
it discretionary with him to act on such
presentation Of clergymen, which was re-
ierred To the Committee on Canons. II
is authoritatively stated that Bishop Whit
tingham has been presented TO Bishop
Smith Of Kentucky, who is the Presiding
Bishop, aud that court will be consti-
tuted for his trial. In the Protestant
Episcopal Diocesan Convention If Mary
land on Thursday the Committee on New
Parishes and Congregations reported "a
yorably on the organization Of the Church
Of the Holy Communion. Washington
A very animated debate ensued, partici-
pated in by the ritunlistic and anti-ritua-
listic delegates, the former advocating the
admission into union of the church in
question. No definite action was taken in
the matter At the evening session the
Committee on Canons made report sus-
tanning Bishop Whittingham in his inter
probation Of Canon |, that it was discrc-
tionary with him to bring accused clergy
men to trial on presentation by the
$ anding Committee.
The international Convention Of the
Young Mems Christian Association Of the
United States and British Provinces, met
Wednesday in Richmond, Virginia. At
the afternoon session permanent orgini-
zation was effected with great unanimity
More than four hundred members were
present, embracing representatives from
every section of this country and Canada.
AT night great welcome meeting was
held.
The Northern and Southern Presbyteri-
an Churches, are not likely to unite, for
the present, at least. The demand of the
Southern Church that the Northern body
should absolutely retract and disclaim its
utterances during the war. and the refusal
of the latter to do so, stands as barrier
to reconciliation, which will not be remov-
ed until one side or the other grows less
determined.
The twenty-seyenth session Of the Gen
eral Synod Of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church Of the United States, commenced
at st. Marks Church, Baltimore, on
Wednesday. Delegates were in attendance
from all parts of the Union.

was decided TO try the experiment Of
injecting into his veins blood taken from

hired to contribute three ounces Of blood,
and il was taken from his arm and injected
into one Of Blairs veins The effect was
very satisfactory, and the operation has
been repeated several times. Great care
has to be taken, as the introduction Of all
into the veins would cause instant death.
