Episcopal Convention

Boston, Mass, Oct ll.-In the Episco-
pal convention to-day Hamilton Fish pre-
sented report from the committee on
amendments to constitution to which
was retired the memorial and resolutions
from diocese of Wisconsin, relating to
change Of name of the church. The report
stated the appointment of a commission
was inexpedient.
The discussion of the creation of new
diocese in Illinois with its bishop at Quincy,
was then begun. The arguments in favor
of the change were, that the bishop had
too much now to do, and that the diocese
was too large to be unltr the Episcopal
supervision of one bishop. The argu.
ment against it was mainly that it would
increase expenses. The Arch bishop OF
Fredericktown was introduced, when the
house OF bishops and house of deputies
met in social manner at Brunswick Hotel
Boston, Oct. 1.-THE eleventh annua
business meeting of the evangelical educa
tional society of the Protestant Episcopal

called official returns from halt the coun
ties of the state and these show a net
Democratic gain over the vote of lest
year of 1876. Taking this as basis
they claim that Bishops majority cannot
fall below $4,000 and they think the full
official count will give him $4,000 or 3d.
600 majority. The republican committee
concede Bishops election by $4,000. The
democratic committees figures on the
general assembly are as follows: In the
house the democrats will have 81 members
the republicans 80, and the nationals or
workirgmen 3; democratic majority %.
In the senate the democrats will have 25
members and the republicans 10; demo-
