A CHURCH SENSATIONAL cable despatch,
which we copy from the Erening Telegram,
gives the substance Of an article published
in the London Morning Post to the effect
that the extreme ritualists in England are
making overtures to the Pope to be received
into the Catholic communion on the condi
ton that he will grant them certain exemp-
tions and indulgences. 1t is represented
that 100 clergymen, with a constituency
Of $4,000 men and 100000 women, are
engaged in this movement, and that they
have sent a memorial to Rome expressing
their wishes. They are willing to recognize
the Pope as the head of the Church, to ac-
cept the Vatican DEGREES to conform in all
points of doctrine and worship; but they
desire a dispensation for such of thcir
clcrgymen as are already married to con
tinuc as priests, while celibacy is to be the
rule for the unmarried, and TO conduct
public worship in the vernacular, excepting
the mass.-Ne0 York HeroH Of Moador.

GRANT DON'T WANT IT.-The Washington
editor of the New York Tribune sent the
following to that paper OH Monday:
1t is learned to-day that President Grant
has formally signified to Senator COnkling
of New York and others that he has decided
not to he candidate for the Presidency,
and has pledged himself not to accept a re.
nomination. Similar reports have two or
three times recently been in circulation,
but there are some special reasons for at
taching more credit to this one. Itappears
that Senator Conkling is acting upon the
notification that he has formally avowed
his own purpose TO be a candidate, and has
already formally begun the organization of
his campaign. The confirmation of this
may soon be looked for in such Republican
papers as assume to speak with party eu-
thority.
There is no reason to suppose that the
President, in retiring from the list has in.
dictated preference for any of the remain.
ing competitors; but it requires no effort
Of the imagination to suppose that he
is grateful for Senator Conkling's forbear-
ance The chances are, therefore, that the
Senator will enter the field with as much
assistance as anybody is likely to get from
the Federal ofiice.holders Democrats
believe that the effect of the Conkling move.
ment will be to force Gov. Tilden more
prominently to the front; but Republicans
| here do not attach equal importance to
that idea, and outside of New-York do not
seem to consider the plans Of Mr.. Conkling
of much consequence.

A DELAWARE INVENTOR EIoNoRED BY THE
FRANKLIS iNsTITUTE.-Says the Philadel-
phia Times of last Friday:
The regular monthly meeting Of the
Franklin Institute was held last night.
Besides the routine business transacted was
the comforting of the now celebrated and
rarely-awarded Cresson gold medal upon
DIR. William G. A. Bonwill, the dentist, for
his electromagnetic mallet, by which two
thousand blows are struck in minute,
used in consolidating gold in the operation
of filling the teeth. The inventor has thus
received the award of the Franklin Insti
| tute for this instrument, which he claims
is as great help in dentistry as the sewing
machine in houSewilery. The committee
after thorough investigation, reported or
| his claims, and last night the Institute
gave him this exceptional medal which
has been awarded only six times since lS4S
and for such inventions as Tilghman's sanC
blast Chambers folding press, Zentmeyer!
microscopical instruments, etc. AS
patentee DIR. Bonwll has been frowneC
upon by his brethren in dentistry, but hi
recognition by such men as DIR. Garrettson
in his work on oral surgery, and now b,
one of the most authoritative schools in tn,
country, puts him on a sound and elevated
footing. The invention, by which tn
most delicate blows are struck so rapidly a
a cost of fuel for the electricity not exceed
ing fifteen cents week, it is claimed, cal
be applied with equal significance to tn
chisel of the sculptor, the pen of tho mani
fold writer, the pencil Of the chaser q
metals, and in fact to any of the arts re
quiring delicacy of touch combined wit
force, and susceptible of fcontrolregulated b
the will of the operator. The story of tn
struggles of the inventor, through q min
) years siege, against the combined forces {
capital, knavery, jealousy and professions
etiquette, is quite interesting

sey, who is moving to have number of

Of letters from different parts Of the Penin-

Jenkins, of Philadelphia, who has several
farms in Kent county Ex-Governor Ross,
of Seaford; and Mr.. Fennimore of Mid.
