ASSISTANT BISHOP OF VIRG INIA-As here
tofore stated 10 the Gazette, it has not yet
been determined whether an assistant bishop
of Virginia shall be appointed. Assistant
Bishop White will succeed Bishop Johns as
Bishop Of the Episcopal Church 10 the Diocese
Of Virginia, bul the Richmond Wing, says ut
is probable that al assistant bishop will rot be
appointed for some years, or uut!l Bishop
Whittle requests it. 1t is said that West Vir
GINA will be separated from Virginia, and a
bishop of that diocese, when so f,rmed, will be
appointed. This will lessen in great degree
the labor of the Bishop of Virginia. When
the western portion Of Virginia was separated
from Virgiua aud made into separate State,
the Episcopal diocese was not so separated,
Bishop Johus continuing to act as formerly.
In the event Of the appointment Of an assist.
ant bishop the names Of Rev. Joshua Peter
kin, D. D., Of ST. james Church, and Rv
Charles Minuigerode, D. D., of St. Paul's
Church. in this city, aud Rev Churchill Glib
son. D. D., of St. PauI's Church, Petersburg,
have already been mentioned.
1t is understood that at the next Council Of
the aicc,se which will meet 10 this city next
month, the question OF a still further division
of the diocese will be considered, as the resi-
dents Of the State south OF the James river are
anxious to establish a separate diocese.

A Doubtful Transaction.
Reform at the Wrong End.

We copy the following from the
Portsmouth Republican. VANCE and
ALEsHTRE must rise and explain. We
know ALEsHrRE to be an expert in
wheat and -four, but we never heard
before that he was an "Expert in
Printing" We copy:
The Times has been whacking
around loose, trying to make some
point on our candidate for Congress,
Mr.. Neal, and we suppose it would be
fair to call upon it for some of its
time and space in explaining a little
transaction of j. L. Vance, which
comes to us from good authority
This is not, as many may suppose, the
appointment by Vance of one of his
Gallipolis cousins (who was totally
incompetent to lucrative position
in Washington; nor the way he en-
gineered another incompetent cousin
into Cadetship at West Point; but
little transaction which he engaged
in while chairman of the committee
on Public printing. The facts in the
case are as follows: Mr.. Jos. Ale
shire resides in Gallipolis, and is
also cousin Of Hon. John L. Vance.
Some two months ago, while the
aforesaid Hon. j. L. ", as Chairman
of the Committee on Printing was
busy fooling away valuable time in
Washington investigating the trans
actions of his predecessors in the
printing business, with the sole view
of extracting therefrom some valua-
BILE capital for the Democratic party,
the aforesaid cousin Joseph who re-
sides in Gallipolis left his home on
the Ohio, as all who knew of his de-
parture presumed, merely for a flying
trip to Washington. He was gone
about two weeks, but as to the nature
of his business while at the Capitol,
nothing positive is known. All that
is known is that upon his return to
Gallipolis he had cashed at one of
the banks there a check from the
Department at Washington, for
$100-on the back of which was
written the strange legend expert
in Printing" Now it is not only pos
sible, but probable that there is moth
ing in this--that it can all be ex-
planned away; but it is something
that calls for an explanation. Mr..
Aleshire is not printer, and knows
nothing whatever of the trade, and
the question naturally arises, did the
Hon. j. L. Vance, while engaged in
trying to ferret out frauds, thus him.
self commit fraud upon the gov
ernment, in issuing, or securing the
issue of that draft, for the purpose of
remunerating totally incompetent
person for certain amount of SER
vice to the Government which was

of the campaign, remind US Of the
words Of the Great Master:-"Ye
blind guides, which strain at a gnat
and swallow a camel" They are
sorely exercised over that s400 which
General HAYES is said to have taken
from g rebel spy who vas coqrt-mar-
tailed and shot, but they are as mild
as mice over the charge made against
TiIden, of stealing near LOCO, GOO
from the st. Louis, Alton and Terre
Haate Railway. To take $400 from
rebel bounty jumper, is q very Sc
rious offense In the eyes Qf these
double faced reformers, while they
look upon the embezzlement Of
1000, 900 of the hard earnings of
the farmers of the West as q matter
of no interest. Boss Tweed was the
father Of this reform system,
