DR.. DE KOVEN.

There were no now Developments in tho Do
Koyeu controversy yesterday. Those who hnve
Bgniiled their intention to demonstrate against
his conaocraton ~ Bishop scctnod inclined to
await his acceptance of the Office before taking
any further slops. They regard his accnntanco
worry doubtful from tho fact chat bis cIecton WIS
cIose, and from tho flrthor fact that cousaut to
his conservation would be uncertain, owing to
tue diverse opinions aud tho probable effect
OF sach stop upon tho Diocese. On tho
other hand hls friends are sanguina that ho will
accept, mud TINT no will bB dulv confirmed.
Wbo they confosa that tho sumo objections to
tho conservation Of Dr. Seymour arc intensified
in Or. Do Eoyen, they believe tint ths Standing
Commlttoes of tho Church haso 10 changed III
sentiment Hinco tho uoueral Conypntlon that his
election will bo ratified without amy great tlis1l-
c1lty. They nro tndustriously at work to that
ontl, and just al sansuino OF his confirmation aa
the Low-CLl,rchmen nro Of Ills dnfent.
