Objections 10 Rev. Mr.. DekoNens
Conservation.

CHICAGO February l2.-The members
of the late Diocesan Convention have
issued a protest in the form Of memo
rial, which will be published in full IN
the morning papers. 1t sets forth the
reasons why James Dekoren cannot,
with their consent, be Consecrated Bishop
of Illinois. Their reasons are grounded
under three heads.
First-Want of soundness of faith,
which is so far doubtful rs to form an
lmpediment to his conservation wthlh
the meaning of the Canons.
Second-The effects Of such con"ecra'
tion upon the church, which they assert
would be especially disastrous to Limos
the battle ground of the so-calied Reform
Episcopal Church; to consecrste one oi
the leaders of the movement, and obscure
the plain teaching of the church by I'M
parting subtleties, is to drive contentious
laymen from the field.
Third-The lnvalidity Of the alleged
election. On this point they quote canoni-
cal law, and reproduce the ballot, to show
that the number Of votes for DehoVeh
were not sufficient to elect him.

IN New York, the shrinkage II values
appears to have been quite as great as
elsewhere. According to the report
of the Tax Commissioners Of that city,
the panic which broke upon the country
in the fall of 1873, and which it was
hoped would cease to operate, like that
of 1857, IN a few weeks or months, has
not yet been followed by any substan-
tial or marked reaction. The total
assessments for 1875 are 81, 100, ,943, ,699,
while those for 1874 were Sl,l5+,O29.-

JUSTICE TEMPERED WITH MERCY

Gov. Porter has commuted the death
sentence Of Holt, the Bedford county
murderer, to Imprisonment for life.
This action was taken in accordance
with the recommendation OF the Su-
preme Curt, who, after a careful review
of the case. came to the conclusion that
Hollis extreme youth was an extenu-
ating circumstance, which suggested
that justice should be tempered with
mercy. The force and effect Of such
recommendation are clearly set forth
by the Attorney General in the npin-
ion which we give elsewhere, and the
Governors endorsement indicates that
he saw plainly whore his line Of duty
5Iay. We commend Gov. Porter for the
frmness which he has displayed in the
matter, and believe that his course will
be fully approved by the people.
