The Episcopal Convention.

The Episcopal Convention met at Tar
boro on May 10th. But small amount
of routine business was transacted. the
time was occupied with an exciting and
prolonged debate over the division of the
diocese. Bishop Lyman in addressing the
Convention on the division, manifested
much feeling that the subject should have
been brought forward without consulting
or asking his views of the matter. After
many protestations of love and respect for
the Bishop, disclaiming any intention OF
being disrespectful, the matter was finally
disposed of by passing resolution that
the welfare of the Church in North Caro-.
lima demands division of the diocese.
All deputies elected to the next Conyen.
tion are instructed to take action to Sc.
cure the consent of the next Convention
to the erection of the new diocese
committee of five be appointed to report
a just and equitable plan for division Of
the Episcopal fund. These will not take
effect till ratified by the next Convention
with such notifications as may be adopted
The next Convention will be held in this
city on May 23d, 1883. l3's'--.-s
