To talk about ourselves but when We speak

seems that neither General Arthur nor Mr..
Cornell were asked to tender their resigna-
tions. until after semi-oihcial announcement
had been made from the Treasury Depart
ment and the White House that the Cabinet
had fully resolved upon the removal Of both
of them. After this, the New York officers
felt that it would not comport with their
seli-respect to go through the farce of re-
signing, though at last courteously requested
to resign by Secretary Sherman, who thus

Is the Episcopal Convention at Boston
the attempt to secure the authorization Of

defeated By disagreement between the two
houses so also was canon regulating the
orders of deaconesses and sisterhoods. Both
these subjects were referred to special joint
committees to consider them during the re-
cess and report to the convention of 1850,
Most of the work OF the convention was Of
purely church interest and Importance
but there was introduced one proposition OF
much wider interest. We refer to the resO.
lutions of Hon. William Welsh, of Philadel.
phia That gentlemen asked for active meas
ures to be taken to bring the culture, learn
ing and wealth of the Episcopalian de
nomination and Jew denominations are

to bear on the irreligious and Indifferent
masses. lie openly avowed his opinion that
their church had failed in its duty towards
the great multitude OF the poor, ignorant
and vicious. lie was ably seconded in this
view by the deputies from Pittsburg, one OF
whom, railroad officer, made the strong
point that Pittsburg had experienced what
a goddess working-ciass population meant
during the horrors of the great strike. The
house adopted the resolutions, the bishops
eoncurred, and with the sanction of the con-
vention. ree;ors Of parishes all over the
country are to urge their wealthy and
educated communicates to engage in literary
and social enterprises calculated to enlist the
syupathies Of working people, and wherever
practicable to provide them with reading
rooms, Libraries, and, above all, free church
accommodation.
