AT recent meeting Of the Episcopal So
cicty for Promoting Christianity among the
Jews, held in New York city, report was
presented, from which the following extract Is
taken: "Thc Jewish population is not as com.
monty supposed, fixed and united in byotcd
devotion to Judaism, but is undergoing Vast
change social and religious, change which is
leading it further and further adrft from ultra
conservatism of so.caled orthodoxy, and with
ever increasing impetus in the two directions
of in6dcty and reformed Judaism-thc latter
being sort of compound Of Judaism and ration.
alism, with clements of Christianity. Since the
opening Of the present century Jewish thought
has undergone revolution. The old Judaism
is already dead or fast dying out. This ispartly
the effect of civil emancipation, partly Of tho
modern continental PHILOSOPHERS, but largely,
and perhaps principally, Of Christianity, whose
influence, both by means of missions and other
wise, has been, since persecution was laid aside fer
gentleness, powerfully felt. Ofthe so, 900 Jews
in New York, it is estimated by the rabbis
themselves that not more than $500, say
some, or 5000 to 5000 say others, ever at
tend the synagogues, i. c., less than one-tenth.

in the convention of the diocese Of Mich;
igan, held at Detroit, on Thursday week, a
copy of Bishop McCoskry's resiguation Of the
Office of bishop was received. This last rcsig-
nation, construed under tho church laws, in
wolves not only the resignation Of the bishop
ric, but of the ministry also, and is of tho
most complete kind; therefore the convention
voted to pay the resigned bishop an annuity
of 81 500, subject to revision by future con.
ventons. In his letter Of resignation, dated
May 1S, Bishop McCoskry says he is utterly
unable to discharge the duties connected With
that Office, and does not wish to be burden
to the diocese.

Bishop Nicholson, of the "Reformed
Church, having made visit to Virginia, thus
describes it in his journal as published in the
papers:
Tuesday, September %, with the consent OF
the presiding bishop, 1 visited the church OF
the Redeemer, Acquinton, King William
county, Va and on Thursday OF the same
week, the "Churoh of Antioch, /" Essex county.
Va. Both these churches are under the care
of our beloved and honored brother, the keV
James A. Latane, and in fact both were orls''
mated by him. At the first named church VIC
had delightful service, and | preached; but
the rite of confirmation was not administered,
owing to sickness among the several persons
who were to have received that rite. At the
other church the little chapel was oroWucu
with what seemed to be deeply IN
terested congregation, and seven persons cor
frmcd their faith in Christ. This ohapcl IS
owned by our own church people. !he build
ing at Acquinton, however, is occupied by the
Reformed Episcopal society alternately with
Methodist Episcopal society. 1t is an OLD az
venerable cdiicc, dating back to Colonial TIM
whose curiously fashioned and strsnge'lookli
bricks were brought, it is said, from the mot!
er country on purpose for its erection. 1t was
nv first view Of Virginia country church,
and shall never forget my Impressions as l.
came in sight of it. On the road side, IN the
midst of a grove, it stood so venerable, 80
quict-looking and so monumental OF the men
and the events of the past. The horses OF the
congregation were hitched around it to the
swinging limbs Of trees, and the whole scene
was one of rural beauty and hearty simplicity
Words would fail me to describe my sense OF
exquisite enjoyment during that bright morn
ing hour of divine service in the old church,
where for ono hundred and fifty years SO many
congregations had worsbippcd. Indeed, not
only then, but the whole Of my short stay in .
the neighborhood was full of interest and en-
joyment. The taste then had of the far
famed Virginia hospitality fingers with me
still. The hearty welcome OF the people, and
the full flow of friendly converse, were to me
sort of dreamy resurrection of my own
Southern life, as it was years ago. spent one
night under the old colonial root OF my reVer
end and beloved brother, and in the Christian
intercourse of his pleasant household. When
heart meets heart in the loving embrace OF the
gospel, what fellowship is like to that? could
see that the work of Mr.. Latanc in his two
churches, was full of promise, although much
hindercd hitherto by the uncertainty 10 the
minds of his people as regarded bis con'uu-
ancc among them. Such man as Is our oo-
loved brother, whether considered as to the
elements constituting noble Christian char.
acter, or as to the accuracy aud fullness OF
view with which he breaches the gospel OF our
salvation (this being comparatively so rare an
excellence in these days. the exgcnces OF our
church would seem to require to be in larger
and more influential position.

Questions.

Yie,cs Upon the Southern and Financial
Questions.
Gen. Mcclellan in his inaugural address
spoke of the Southern question and said: y
am sure that we all agree in accepting as final
the emancipation of the negro and his claim to
full and ample protection in all the rights of
freeman. The prosperity of the Southern
States can be secured only by the full enjoy
ment Of their rights of self government with
the attendant consequences Of peace, or
der and security. Those States are now in en-
tire possession of these rights, and the result
is manifest to all in the absence Of disturbance,
and in the slow but sure return of q prosperity
which, if not rudely disturbed by other causes,
will soon react upon us and give employment
to very many Of the idle hands am ong us.
] trust, gentlemen, that you will agree with
me in gladly accepting the existing settlement
of the southern question as final, and in insist
ing that no selfish interest of individuals. or
mistaken policy Of party, shall be allowed to
revive subject which honor and interest alike
require to b.. buried forever among the dead
issues of the irrevocable past.
With regard to the national finances the GEN.
eral said As the great object of all, it is our
security, industry and prosperity to our suffer-
ing people. 1t is a duty to express in the clear
est and most decided terms of reprobation all at
tempts to violate the sacredness of obigationst to
avoid the payment of any portion of our just
debts, to impair the national honor and credit
or to declare by law that O part of dollar shall
be whole dollar. There is probably no grave
objection to reconciliation of silver within
proper limits that is to say, making it legal
tender for small amounts, SO as to secure its
use in small transactions and for convenience

POLYGAMOUS UTAH.

Tietcs of Coo. EAs0ry---If the LeJi stature
Hats Congress Must Act.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 15.--Message of Gov.
Emory to the Territorial Legislature was deliv-
cred this afternoon. It recommends terrific
rial free school law; recommends the secret
ballot and revision of tho divorce laws to
require years residence of the applicant;
says that but one person has been punished for
the Mountain Meadow massacre, but that other
parties have been indicted but have evaded the
officers; that the arrest, trial and conviction is
improbable unless q suitable reward is offered;
believed friends in communication with these
men warn them Of the approach, and such vigi-
lance is maintained that, although frequent at
tempts have been made to arrest them they
have been unsuccessful, suggests that a COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the causes
operating against the arrest of indicted parties.
Polygamy has continued here for thirty years,
and for fifteen years in violation of law. In
other states and territories polygamy is pun
ished. It is no less crime here, yet the law
remains dead letter. Polygamous marriages
are so frequent throughout the territory,
and the sentiment of the majority of the
people SO much in It's favor. that officers, though
charged with the duty Of enforcing the laws,
find themselves unable to do 80 without further
legislation. This legislature has sufficient iur-
isdiction to provide the enactments required
but if it waits, then it is the duty of Congress
to provide such legislation as will meet the
case. Polygamy, and the union of state and
church, are stumbling blocks in the way of a
settled condition of affairs, and detrimental to
the interests of the entire people.
