As these crangelists come heralded by the

who have clearly defined idea Of the missionary

the wonderful miracles and strangely simple
doctrines Of the Savior, vast crowds Of all classes
Of people followed Him when He went into the

ANOTHER PAN-ANGL1CAN SYNOD.
The following is the text Of the Archbishop of
Canteburv's letter to the Bishops in communion
with the Church Of England abroad:

pressed BY many g1shops Ct the PTotestan Ep,seo @

after consultation with the Bishops OF ENGLAND, to
give all our brethren an opportunity Of expressing
their opinion upon the expediency OF conyening
such conference at this time, and upon the choice
Of the subjects which onsht to engage It's attention

ask for our guidance whether you are
willing and are likely to be able to at

present at Lambeth in 1867 thankfully acknowl-
edged that, through the blessing Of Almighty God,
the Bishops OF the various branches Of the Angli-
can Communion were drawn together in closer

Christ's Church to each other more readily rem
dcrcd the more fully each Is made acquainted with

activity and Increased intercourse between all parts

therefore earnestly ask you to join with them in
prayer that we may all be guided to wise decision
on this important matter and, II it should be re-
solved to hold the conference, that its delihera-

SPANISH PERSECUTION OF PROTEsTAETISM.
BARCELONA, Sept. 16.-At last the vagueness
OF Article XII. has been put to the test. The
Protestants who speak and worship In Spanish,
driven out Of Vitoria, and persecuted in Mahon
(Balearic Isles), have made their voice heard, and
the Ministry at this dead season OF the year has
been forced wholly against its will to interpret
its own language regarding religious liberation,
and IS to what shall and what shall not be con-
sidered an external sign or ceremony OF Prot
estantism. The Ministry has decided that the
mere advertisement Of 4 time OF holding Divine
service Or the placing over doorway the words
Protestant Church Of Evangelical School shall
be illegal, and all such notices are to be taken
down, il necdful, bv the police. Some hundred
Spanish lads receive free education in Protest.
ant school here In Barcelona aud the order to
take down the notice-board was accompanied
with demand that the school should itself be
closed.
BARCELONA, Sept. 17.-Some anxiety having
been caused By the rigid Interpretation OF one
article OF the new Constitution, and the order
to remove notice-boards from schools and
chapcls Of Spanish Protestants, It should be
stated that the instruction Of children will not
be interfcred with, nor the form of worship
within walls. There is, however, growing de-
sire on the part of the clergy to obtain cup
their arguments being that children have no
right to be instructed until OF full age in any
save the Roman Catholic religion.

We chat for few moments until the general
aspect Of the place begins to give me creeping
sensation down my back, and the horrors
steal gently over the spirits Then go into an
inner room, where I find another cour-
teous gentleman hard at work at second

tive shillings each, and the carpet would be dear
at $40. It is not quite big enough to conceal
the nakedness OF the foor. From the one win

OF INVESTIGATIONS.

There is a very large class of citizens and
voters in this country who are watching the
progress of the many Investigations at Wash
ington with great and anxious interest, but
with almost perfect freedom from partisanship
and prejudice. They do not so much desire
that party should be besmirched as that the
Government should be purified They want
publication rather than change. They are not
so hot and unreasonable in their anger at
what has been done in the way of maladmin-
istration and misgovernment as to jump at
once to the conclusion that there is no remedy
but IN turning out all who are in, and bringing
in those who are out. If, to use very
old figure, they know the discOmfOrts of the
frying pan, they have dim suspicion, at
least, of the dangers and the torments OF the
fire. We suspect that the Democratic party in
Congress, which is undertaking to regain pub
lie confidence by showing how unworthy the
opposition is of being trusted, and to estab-
lsh itself in the Offices by proving that the
Republicans have been corrupt in administer
ing them, entirely misapprehends the temper Of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-04-12
A VfRY UNREASONABLE Association.

VERY UNREASONABLE ASSOCI1TION
Mr.. David j. Ellsworth, n gentleman with
whom we have not the pleasure and honor of
n personal acquaintance, was Day Inspector
in the Custom house. and inspected, we pre-
sume, according to the light vouchsaicd to
him. "Was," we say. Mr. Ellsworth has been
elected 1t is not creditablc to his prudence,
but the fact is, induleing in the absurd luxury
of views, and abandoning himself to the dis
sipation of opinions, Mr. p. "vOted and worked
"for an unpledged delegation to the late Re-
"publcan State Convention" and he no longer
inspects. All shrewd people will admit that it
Is his own fault that he has been the archi-
tect of his own ruin and exceeding cunning In
his own overthrow. The business of a man
who holds position In the Custom-hOuse is
to do as the Custom house does to say MS it
says, to think as it thinks, and to vote "a it
votes. Men who want to frisk about and lie
politically unsteady have no right to Office.
Put em out, and particularly Ellsworth!
The Twenty second Ward Republican Asso-
citation of Brooklyn, it seems to us, needn't
make an ass of itself in its sympathy for the
now acephalous Ellsworth. 1t has passed o
solemn stack of resolutions setting forth that
Mr. Ellsworth is the victim of Oppressive
"practicesn of a sort which are "subversive Of
"manly independence" as if that sort of mer-
chandise were desirable. The Association, we
observe, labOrs under several Authorizations.
1t complains of "sclsh men who regard the
"politics of the country only as field
"for their private ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
"the peoples Offices only as private
"stock to buy and sell" Well, that is
the way we understand it. Politics is just
that The offices are just that. The business
of Oflice-holders is to sustain the Appointing
Power. We can prove it, just as sure as logic
is logic. If there were 10 Appointing Power
there could be 40 Offices II there were no
offices there could be no officers. An Inspector
is to do as he is ordered to do by those who
feed him. If he declines, ipso Jdcto he ceases
to be an Inspector. Ellsworth mutinied. He
has therefore been pitched overheard, most
rightcously pitched; and yet Twenty second
Warders of Brooklyn complain!
Two things have been settled by the Ad-
ministration party calling itself Republican.
The first is, that it has the perpetuity of this
Republic in its most holy keeping; AID Sec
ondly, it holds that the least dissatisfaction
with its doings is a sufficient cause for the
prescription of any man. Why blame iti 1t
is simply acting in scif-defense. 1t is con-
trolled by precisely the anne instincts which

the skill which seeks to exalt itself by dis
torting the simple truth of Nature Heretofore
we have responded rather too readily to the
taste and critical judgment of England, be-
cause her voice seemed to us, If not that OF
posterity, at least that of an intelligent and
impartial contemporary. There is now point
of divergence the causes of which we have
presented in outline; they might be illustrated
much more widely. A few of our writers
may still acknowledge the old authority, and
endeavor to share in its present morbid cray
ing for new and strong sensations; but by Tar
the greater part will cling with independent
faith to their own convictions. 1t is a case
where they may Justly claim, not. equality, but
superiority Of intelligence; and their reyoca-
ton of an English verdict carries with 1t the
power to make their own accepted, now and
benceforth.
