TIE Eirht at Albany.

The vote for Mr.. Depew jumped from Il
on Monday to ~ on Tuesday, and from that
to 81 Wednesday-an it is said that this
does not represent the entire anti-machine
strength. The Wheeler, Rogers, Lapham,
Fenton and part of the Cornell cortingenis
stand ready TO cast III their lot with Mr..
Depew's friends, ii is said and if that is the
case his election ought soon 10 become an
accomplished fact The attempt was made
TO concentrate the anti-COnklinS votes upon
him for the long term, and was so far sue
cessful as to give him about twothirGs
enough to elect him. There was no
change yesterday worthy of notice in the
vote for Conkling's vacancy. The anti
Conkling men are wasting their strength in
scattering votes. II they could subordinate
personal ambitions and preferences to the
common good, giving TO one candidate for
each place their seventy votes, the deadlock
could not last long. While their divis
ions continue the Conkling men have
some show Of reason in their protest that the
friends of the candidate who leads all the
rest in the number of votes cannot be cxpcc-
ted To withdraw him.
The Albany journal urges 4 concentration
of the opposition to Messrs. Conklins and
Palt The Erprtss says the only way can

The Star Route Investigations.

Washington specials say that il is probable
that there will be no trials in the Star route
eases before fall, and it is possible that the
cases will not be presented to the Grand
Jury until September. Meanwhile the Gov
crnmcEt officers are earnestly al work pre-
pairing the eases and every day some new
points are discovered. Considerable uneasi-
ness is reported in the bureaus of the Post
Office Department, which had relations with
the Star route service. The Postmaster
General believes that good many of the
clerks have held improper relations in the
past with favored Star route contractors,
and many clerks are under suspicion 1t

LETTERS from Ireland say that an armed
instruction, which may assume the proper
tons of revolution, is to be expected in
June. The coercion act has had no good
effect, and the organized forcible resistance
TO the service of legal process is more for
midable every day. The constabulary and
the soldiers employed to maintain order and
protect the civil officers in the performance
of their functions are becoming cxaspera,ed,
and serious collisions have already occurred
1t is stated that in spite of the English laws
against the possession OF weapons, and IN
spite of the searches by English officials, the
Irish Ieople have arms and ammunition, and
that in June, when The whole rural popula-
ton can spend the nights in the fields, no
doubt a bold blow will be struck for freedom.
There is trouble enough IN ireland, and
plenty of Irishmcn would he glad 10 rise {;
but il is moi likely that successful rising can
bc made al ills time and the revolution
thus prorhcsied will probably be postponed
to some other June.

as pledge by each member that he should
see that his parish did its full share in raising
the full amount
Mr- Atkins referred to the fact that last
year $500 was appropriated and only $500
raised. Such state Of things is by no
means creditable TO the diocese. If we be-
lieve in religion we ought to be willing to
pay for it.
Rev. Louis A. Arthur spoke Of the impor-
lance of the missionary work, Of the cause
and earnestness with whicI i: ought to be
conducted. Its claims ought to be consider
ed before even those of the parish.
Bishop Bissell said that the adoption Of
the resolution should be taken as a pledge
that every member of the convention should
do his part in raising the sum of money
named.
The resolution Was then adopted.
The recommendation of the committee in
regard TO the circulation of subscription
books was next taken up.
Rev. Mr.. Bettingcr of Brandon said that
he fully realized the Importance of mission
airy work. He thought the proportion of the
money TO be raised proposed, three -fourths
for diocesan missions and one fourth for gen.
eral-was wrong. We ought not to claim so
much. 1t would he better, the speaker
thought, to raise money for diocesan mis-
sions as heretofore, and use the subscription
books proposed for the general mission
work
Rev. Mr.. Mitchell thought the preceding
speaker labored under misapprchension-
The rlan proposed would increase the
funds for foreign as well as diocesan mis-
sions. Vermont has never yet asked for
help from outside. He thought we could
secure larger amount of money in the way
proposed
Rev. Mr.. OGDEN thought there was some
what OF disinclination among the people to
give definite pledges. According, however,
to the decision of the general convention,
each parish must have the subscription books
for mission work. lie thought that on tie
whole much larger sum of money could be
raised
Rev. MIR. Smith said that the plan was not
obligatory. At least two plans had already
been tried, and if they had been fully and
thoroughly carried out they would have sue
ceeded. lie did not approve Of this third
plan. iu his own parish the system OF
weekly pledges had been adopted, and it had
proved very satisfactory.
Rev. DR.. Bailey said that it was not $500
we We're to raise, but $685., and We are
pledged to meet it,
MIR. Atkins thought the clergy TO blame
for much of the remissness in the people.
paying. They do not preach it to us as they
ought TO. The laity do not fully appreciate
all these things They need to be stirred up.
The Bishop called Rev. Mr.. Mitchell to
the chair,
Rev. Mr.. Atwell of Newport thought Mr.
Atkins in error in some of his views. lie
approved of the proposed plan
Mr.. Albert Chapman of Middlebury alsc
favored the plan
The recommendation of the committee wa.
adopted.
The convention then adjourned until mint

dence. 1t was largely attended and was Il

The Rcadjusters' (Mahone's) convention at
Richmond, Virginia, nominated Col. Cam
eron Of Petersburg for Governor, Hon. John
F. Lewis for Lieutenant Governor and Col.
Frank 5. Blair for Attorney General. Col
Cameron is described as man of means, a
good speaker and representative of the
younger element while Mr.. Lewis is Re
publican, and represented Virginia in the
United States Senate. The ticket is Il popu-
lar one, and it is understood that it will have
such support as the administration of Prcsi-
dent Garfield can give it. AT Richmond and
at Washington there is confidence that it can
be elected, as the colored voters of the State
are prepared to give it an enthusiastic sup
port. The platform adopted by the conven-
ton declares "a free ballot to be the right pre-
sentative of all rights. and that ii should be
