Still Another Letter and More Rumors About
the Bishopric.

The Madison Star of Thursday evening has
the following, which will be of interest through
out the State.
Yesterday Mr.. Fred. Harper reeevedia lengthy
letter from Rev. DR.. Nicholson, who was recent
" elected Bishop for Indiana, but afterward
declined. The letter to Mr. Harper is mainly
on this subject, and re-stating the reasons which
impelled him to decline the bishoprc. Since
Dr. Nicholson declined, there has been a still
further pressure TO induce him to withdraw his
declinatlon, which has again disturbed his mind,
as is evident in the letter to Mr.. H. DR.. Nichol-
son has the right at any time before the meeting
OF the Indiana Episcopal convention next June
TO Withdraw his defamation, and If he should
request Its return, Dean Bradley, of this city,
who holds it, would in courtesy and duty have
to send 1t back TO him. II this should occur,
DR., Nicholson would again become bshop-elect
OF Indiana, without the action of any conven-
ton or any other authority of the church in this
State. He would simply have to get the usual
acceptance of the standing committees and bish-
ops of the various dioceses. The whole matter
seems to be in an uncertain state still, and being
SO, Mr.. Harper judges it best not to publish DR..
N1eholson's letter to him, but to let the whole
thing come to solution quietly"
