& VIRGINIA ADVERTISED

THE EPISCOPAL COUNCIL impression
has very generally obtained that the Council OF
the Episcopal Diocese OF Virginia, which meets
q, Alexandria on the l7th of this month, will
nroceed to elect an Assistant Bishop to supply
,be vacancy occasoued by the death of Bishop
Johus, and the consequent advancement OF As
sis,snt Bishop Whitte. From the best au
thority at our command 1t would seem that
This impression is an erroneous one, as u does
not come within the prerogative OF the Councll
to take such action under the canon regulating
the subject. Section J Of cannon To- that 10
question, reads: =,
when Bishop of a Diocese is unable, by
reason of old age or other permanent cause OF
ip6rmity, or by reason ,oi the extent OF MS Dio'
cese, to discharge his Episcopal duties, an AS
sistant Bishop may be elected by ana ior the
said Diocese, who shall, 10 all cases, succeed
the Bishop 10 case of surviving him; provided
that before the election of an Assistant Bishop,
for the reason of extent of Diocese, the consent
Of the General Convention, or during he re-
cess thereof the consent of a majority oil the
Bishops and of the several standing commit
tees must be had and obtained.
As the government Of the Diocese OF Vlr-
,inia Is vested now, it is considered that the
above has application, and we have been given
10 understand that DO effort has been made to
obtain the consent of the majority of the Bish
ons and the Standing Committees, which is
necessary to an election 1t is also held by some
that this consent can only be obtained by ac.
ton of::,he Council, which construction would
throw the election into that body in 1877.
The Counc, however, 10 order to meet the
difficulty of extent of Diocese will probably take
steps fully as important as the election of an
Assistant Bishop. West Virginia some time
since petitioned to be set apart as a separate
Diocese, and it is not unlikely that this petition
will now be granted. The question, we are 10,
formed, is being mooted among the clergy, and
has met With decided favor. West Virginia
Diocese, unless it be made a Missionary Diocese
will absorb several couoties east of the allie
ghany. and will render an Assistant Bishop
unnecessary, at least, for the present. .-Rtch.

received from the Confederate House tho
seat to which Alr, g. d. FARwE1k had bcon
elected, has boon making Democratic speech
In m adjoining county, l,o refrain OF which
IL reported ~ being, Give us CHANGE
In this Mr, LIZ Mo1aE echoes tho sentiments
OF most Of the Democratic stump-speeches
for the last dozen years, aud the lament
would not bo deserving of any special notice
had not the circumstances changed somo-
what, so that tho Legitimate demand for o
change should como really from the Ropub-
licans and not from tho Democrats. Wo are
not informed whether ME. LIZ AfoYNEs plea
for change WIS applied nationally or local
", but In either case the necessity for it IL
equally obvious from Republican point Of
Wow.
In national a1airs tho Republicans will CO.
incide with hr. LIZ hloYNza demand, be-
causo change will reverse tho muster of tue
present Congress, and iustead Of their being
lc8 Democrats to 1os Republicans thero will
he l08 Republicans to 108 Democrats. II
Mi. LIZ MoxNE and his Democratic friends
can stand this sort Of change, We are sure
that the Republicans will not complain
thoreat The trouble about this repeated
Democratic clamor for change IL that the
atumr-spaakera Of that party ignore the fact
that Democracy Inns been on trial for nearly
two years. Thor demand for change re-
ceived consideration at tho hands Of tho
people after the panic Of 1873, md the eleo-
sions Of tho following year changed tho
minority In Congress In the hope TINT
now counsel might In somo way relieve
the pressure OF hard tines. Tho result was
disappointment The Democratic majority
In Congress failed to develop tho capacity,
patriotism, or knowledge Of public adairs to

packed them with their own judges and ill.,
erectors, ruled out ait votes that did not
suit them, and allowed no Republicans to be
present at tho count, as was the case In Ar

Mississippi election last fall. A refcronco to
tbs returns Of tho Alabama election this year
will show that "The Mississippi Plan was

from Democratic sources, chow that tho total
vote Of tho State WAS 165,o99, divided as fol-

Here was Democratic majority In 1874 Of
$3.50, against a Republican minority Of
1O,828 in 1879, and two years later this ma
jority is moro than quadrupled! In order to
haye obtained this astonishing result, it must
hive been necessary for every whito man in
the State Of Alabama to have voted the Dom
ecratio ticket and for large number of tho
Republicans to havo boen disfranchiEed.
