EDiscODaI COuncU of virginia.

LYNCHBURG, May 19.--At yesterdays ses
sion of the Council a majority report from the
committee appointed TO consider the subject o.
division Of tho Diocese into canoncal conVo
cations was presented hy Dr. Pendleton disap
proving the proposed system. A minority re-
port was presented by Mr.. Il. V. Jones, favor
ing the plan.
A motion to continue the committee to re-
port to the next Council. with on addition Of
three other members, was made by Mr.. Spen-
Ger. The Bishop, before put.ing the question,
said that some brethren 10 Virginia seemed to
think that everything 10 the Virginia Diocese
was out of joint--that the machinery was dis
jointed lie did not agree with them. lie
believed the Diocese was doing better than ever
before. He did not say this in any way of
boastipg, but with thaakfulneSs to God. lie
had plain way Of saying things. His opin-
ion was that they had but very little to learn
from other Doceses He had asked the
Bishop elect Of West Virginia about his expo-
rience in regard to the convooation system in
operation in Maryland, and he considered the
voluntary system in Virginia incomparably
superior to the canonical system of Maryland.
All who had gone from Virginia to Maryland
agreed with him. He wished to state this tes
timony and desired all the members of the
Council to hearlt
The vote was then taken, ani Mr.. Spencer 8
motion was adopted
In the Bishops annual address, be earnestly
deprecated the evils of round dancing. After
quoting the late Bishop Johns's protest against
round dancing, Bishop Whittle says:
II will not discuss its character and Goose.
quences, for while St. Paul wrote to the Church
10 Ephesus that it was shame even TO speak
of those things which were done by some in
secret, should feel ashamed even to speak as
the truth would require Of this thing, which
is done openly, before all. Twill only say that
| trust no man or woman will be presented for
confirmation who means to continue to parti-
cipate 10 this abomination, and if the ministers
of the church have no authority to discipline
communicates as notorious evil.doers who prsc.
tice it, surely this council should not fail to
clothe them with such authority by canon"
This portion of the address was referred to a
committee, which reported canon forbidding
the holy communion and confirmation to per.
sons who habitually indulge in round dancing.
Uoder the rules it required two third vote to
pass 1t at this session. and the canon was de-
fested. Resolutions were, however, adopted
deploriDg the sinful practice, and urging thatit
be discontinued by all good members of the
Episcopal Church.
The committee on the West Virginia prop.
erty question presented q resolution paying the
Diocese of West Virginia $4,000, the payment
of the sum named to operate as release Of all
property claims by the Diocese of West Vir-
gnia, and the report was adopted.
The Council adjourned last evening.

DAILY AND TRI-WEEKLY 81
EDGAR SNOwDEN:
MONDAY EVENING. MAY 20, 1878.

In the Senate to day among the memorials
presented was ono in favor Of an appropriation
for the construction Of ship canal to connect
tho Chesapeake and Delaware bays. Mr.
Thurman reported that there was no law to
prohibit woman from practicing law, and that
it was not necessary to enact such law. Mr.
Morrill, addressed tho Senate in opposition to
the repeal or modification of the resumption
act. The bill to put Gen. Shields on the retired
list of the army. with the rank OF Brigadler
General, was under consideration.
In the House of Representatives bill appto
priating $3.50, OOO,0 900 forinterpal improvements
was referred. Messrs. Potter, Morrison, Hun
ton, S;euger, McNIahon, Cobb and Blackburn,
democrats and Cox. Of Ohio. Butler, Reed
and Hiscock, republicans, were announced as
the committee on the Presidential fraud inVeS
tigation. The army appropriation bill was
further considered, and District of Columbia
bills wore acted upon.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1878-05-20

The radicals say the effect OF the adoption oil
the Potter resolution will be to re unite the
republican party and make it more effective IN
the next campaign. AS the radicals never were
divided on any party principle. but only upon
tho questions of tho amount to be paid for the
presidential fraud, and the individuals to re-
ceiye it, and as hatred to the South and Its
people ever was and ever will be the living
principle of radicalism, the prognostieated re.
union need not be deplored-that is, by those
the prophecy is intended to intimdate. Mr..
Hayes expressed his true sentiments toward the
South when, aware Of his defeat, and before the
frauds by which he was inaugurated had come
to his knowledge, he pharIsaicalIy bewal!ed the
impending fate Of the poor negro; and he only
changed his tune, withdrew the troops aud au-
nounced his home rule policy as means to quiet
the clamor he vas convinced those frauds
would otherwise occasion; and it was only
because the Offices at his disposal were not MI,
merous and lucrative enough to satisfy the
claims Of those who perpetrated the frauds aud
made them effective, that the late confessions
came out and the whole subject again brought
before tho public. Now that he has been
peached upon, there is no longer any necessity
for him to be sailing under false oolors, and be
will probably suecumb to the supercilious die
tation of MIR. Conkling, revoke in words. as he
has already done 10 deeds, his conciliatory and
home rule policy, return to the radical fold
from which he had never strayed lar away-and
boldly proclaim that he is bone Of their bone
and flesh Of their flesh that together they must
live and die, and that the food upon which they
can best thrive is that which can be scratched
up from the graves of the civil war. The
strength the radicals can gain by raising the
flag of the bloody. shirt and the Injury they
can inAict upon the South arc not increased
by the Potter resolution, save to the extent of
the Presidents individual and open contribu-
lions. His whole party, the outs as we'll as the
ms, would have striven for these objects as
strenuously without as with that resolution, and
it has only been the fear Of detection and the
consequences thereof that have hitherto pre-
vented the President from publicly excrting his
efforts 10 the same direction. Let them re-unite.
Fortunately now their numbers ere SO reduced
that in their case union is not strength. Even
by their own count there was a majority OF q
quarter of million white voters against them
at the last election, aud the frauds to be dis
closed by the Potter resolution will not tend to
decrease that number.

We are Informed by reliable gentlemen from
Loudoun and other counties in this section OF
the State, that whatever the cause may be-cold
or wet weather, rust, fly, or chinch bug-tbe
wheat, which, month ago, promised the most
prolific yield since The war; will not produce half
crop. The general impression seems to be that
the Injury was Inflicted by the frost when the
wheat was 10 bloom. If, in addition to all our
other troubles, the crops fail US, our plight will
be moor indeed.

1t is said that Mr.. Hayes regards the ACTON
Of Southern democrats 10 supporting the presl'
Dental fraud Investigation as ungratctul to HIM
in the highest degree. Ifany of them made bar
gains With him, which ho has kept, they Ger
taioly we're upgrateful iu voting to expose him,
and one Of tho purposes Of the Potter resou'
ton is to determine whether his charge OF H.
gratitude can be substantiated. That he made
bargains with all of them is impossible, and OF
course his general charge can not be sustained
We can't conceive of any other ground for a
charge of lugratitudo 10 the case than such an
one as that to which We have alluded. South
ern Congressman could not be uDgrateful to him
for Withdrawing the troops, for Gen. Grant had
ordered that withdrawal before he left the
White House; ror for home rule at the South,
for that has not been carried into effect; mol
for civil service reform, for that is the farce
of the age For nothing else than personal
favors can they be upgratcful, and if they are
80 on that ground, none will be more thankful to
Mr.. Potter for exposing it than their immediate
constituents

10 the United States House of Representa-.
tives last Saturday, during the debate on the
Army appropriation bill, MIR. McCook criticised
the bill, and stated that for two months the
Committee ca Military Affairs had discussed
an amendment dsbanding the army in case
Congress failed to pass the bill, aud therefore
the House should hesitate before agreeing to
follow out other suggestions from the same
source even when adopted by the Appropriation
Committee. The committee rosa without
action. Existing disorders on the Mexican
border, anticipated Indian wars, and contem.
plated Fenian raids into Canada, and yet the
present American Congress proposes reduc'
ton in the now almost ridicuously small army,
and, even talks about disbanding it. If it
would not only talk about and propose, but actu'
ally disband itself tho country would get along
much better
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1878-05-20

The fate of the bill 10 repeal the resumption
act is by no means certain in the Senate, but
should that body concur with the House and
pass the bill, the President. it is understood,
will veto it, and nothing is mora improbable
than that it can be passed over bis veto.
