THE NEW DIOCESE.

The Episcopal Convention, in session
at Stanton, concluded its consideration
of the question Of creating the Diocese Of
West Virginia, on Friday. The com
mittee, consisting of HUGH w. SHEE
FEY, ISAAC H. CARRINGToN, and TAY
LoR BERRY, appointed Thursday to re.
port on the constitutional aspect of the
matter, brought IN their report. They
said first, that a. majority vote was al
that was required to decide the question
Of the erection of q separate diocese, and
second, that while the diocesan censtitu.
tien is silent about the mode IN which
the diocese may be divided, yet there is
nothing in it prohibiting such division
The report was adopted, and the vote
was taken whether the State of West
Virginia should be set apart as separate
diocese, resulting as follows: Clergy
yeas, SO, nays 4, excused 2; lsity, yeas
s5, nays 10, excused l; total, yeas lS4'
nays IA, excused 8.
The cIergymen voting in the negative
were NJ. P. Andrews, o. Jefferson; j.
S. HANsBRoUGH, OF Orange, j. K. JONES,
of Clarke, and w. N. PENDLEToN, OF
Rockbridge. The clergymen excused
from voting were Rev. JOSHUA PETER
KIN, of Richmond, and Rev. J. j. SANS,
of Manchester. Mr.. PETERKIN ex-
planned that while he favored the erec-
tion of the diocese he did not wish TO
vote to put parishes in it which we're
unwilling to 60. The laity vo1G~~% In
the negative were TAYLOR BERRY, OF
Amherst; j. B. BRoCKENBRoUGH, OF
Bedford; j. II. CLAIBORNE, OF Rich
mond; j. J. GKANTHAM and ID. MEADE,
of Clarke; 5. J. G. MOORE, of Clarke;
VIM. NJ. NELSON and j. NJ. PATTON, OF
Louisa, and THORNTON YOUNG. Several
lsymen explain ed, as they gave their
votes against the new diocese, that they
were in favor of its creation, but were
opposed to cutting ot parishes from the
old diocese which were not willing to 60
There were about fifty absentees called.
Bishop WHIrlLE voted in the attirma'
tive, aud after the announcement OF the
result rose and gave his formal assent to
the formation OF the new diocese, his as
sent being essential to the completion oi
the act. the act now has TO receive the
sanction OF the general convention
which meets next fall, before il can take
effect.

GOOD CROPS ANDGOOD TIn.s.

We have already announced that it is
generally expected in the West that the
four States OF Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa and Kansas will have at least
$4,000 600 more bushels of wheat TO sell
this year than last. The Chicago 7rib-
uae, endorsing this expectation, con-
siders that The average ability OF the
farmers in those States To buy goods
will consequently be At least 90 per cent
greater this year than last. From this
will come u revival of trade. The far
mars will net only have more whe to
8 Il, but, the price keeping up through
hs forels de nand, they will get mo Q
money for It, and can be heavier pull
chssers. They will thus increase the de-
mand and aid every branch of manutac-
turing as well as transporting industry.
There seems To be no doubt that there
will be an active demand over the water
for the large American crop. All the
English journals poirt out that the crop
in England is bad, that it IL worse on the
continent, and that Russia is not sending
near As much grain to the English mar
ket as WAS her won't. America will have
substantially clear field. Mr. JEN-
N1NGs, the London correspondent OF the
New York World, writes:
I'VE now know quite enough to be
sure that the English harvest will be far
below the average, and the ordinary sup
plies OF Russia will be much interiered
with, if not wholly diverted from these
shores 1t is to America that England
must look for the supplies requisite to
make up her own deficiency in fooc. 1t
is evident too that the war will not be
over 20 soon as some people supposed.
Russia is ut the time | write IN u position
OF great peril, and l have heard some
military men express an opinion that an
other defeat such rs that at Plevna Woui1
cause the whole campaign to collapse,
ard compel the Czsr TO make peace on
sny terms. Nothing short OF such
n contingency as that actually happen
ing would induce me to believe IN It's
possibility. 1t is far more probable that
Russia will go on 'pegslng away, no
matter at what cost or sacrifice The
longer the WAT lasts the more certainly
must the UGItcd States become the great
emporium OF the world. Of course such
an advantage is merely temporary, and
it would not do to depend much upon it,
still temporary advantage is not to be
despised in hard times"
Good crops, good prices, coed times.
This has been the invsrisble rule. The
effect for this crop year may not De felt
until next spring, but it is coming.
