met at Centreville on Wednesday for the
purpose of choosing successor to the late
Bishop Lay. On the 4th ballot Rev. DR..
Wingfeld, missionary bishop of Northern

The spirit manifested is the proper one,

Mr.. W. Viers B"uic. Jr., who was Mont
gomery county's candidate for the Demo

Assuring you of my lasting appreciation
of the friendly interest you have manifest

thy of your confidence by publicly pledg-
ing my earnest support Of the Democratic
nominee for Congress. Victory is within
our grasp if each and every Denocra, will

Bishops and the House Of Depsties. The
former is composed of the bishops o. dio-
ceses and missionary jurisdictions. and is
presided over by the bishop who is oldest
in time Of csasecEstion. Bishop Alfred
Lee, of Delaware. is at present the presid-
ing bishop. Bishop Paret of the diocese
OF Maryland, will sit in the House of
Bishops for The FIRST time, having been
consecrated since the last meeting OF the
general convention. and the diocese of Ras-
ton will probably be without representa-

caused by the death of Bishop Lay having
not yet been filled. The House Of Deputies
is composed of four clerical aud four lay
deputies from every diocese, and one cler-

Jurisdiction. Deputies from missionary
Jurisdictions, however, have NO vote in

The Inspection Law.

The board of arbitration in the matter
of the reclamation of the Van Kapf &
Arens, the Bremen tobacco buyers, upon
tobacco warehouse No. for alleged over
sampling by inspector Bond, have made
their award. They decide that upon three
of the six hogsheads upon which the claim
was based no indemnity was due; upon
one there was evidence of the State sam
pie having been tampered with after it
left the warehouse and for that reason the
claim was not allowed; upon the remain
ing two hogsheads 81 per hundred pounds
was allowed upon one and so cents per
hundred on the other, amounting in the
aggregate to $10,70. The matter was
thoroughly Investigated by the arbitration
board and nearly all the commission mer-
chants and tobacco buyers OF Baltimore
were summoned before the board and had
a hearing in the matter. The decision of
this board is by law made final and from
their award their can be no appeal.
In former article the TINES suggested
a doubt as to whether the samples taken
by an inspector at Bremen, upon which
this claim was based, could be accepted
as countervailing those of the Maryland
State inspector, or as showing any better
evidence of the contents of the cask than
the Baltimore samples. For that reason
we thought the claim in this case might
be adjudged premature; but the arbitra-
tors have no doubt arrived at just con-
clusion and their decision in the matter
will have tendency to create a better
feeling abroad regarding the Maryland
tobacco and result advantageously to the
trade. The purpose of the law passed at
the last session was to give fall guarsn-
tee to the State samples, and it is to the
interest of all parties that the persons en-
trusted with its execution should, while
exercising due care and caution, give the
law liberal construction for that pur-
pose.
Assurance was given by the Baltimore
buyers VINO urged the passage OF the a.
mendments adopted at the last session that
the immediate result would be an improve
ment in the foreign demand for Maryland
tobacco. It was reasonably enough ex-
pected by the planters that law aimed at
the correction of the chief abuses COM
plained of under the State system would
have that result. But up to this time the
market, instead of improving, has gone
backward to very discouraging extent.
Maryland tobacco is worth from 25 to 40
per cent. less than it readily sold for last
year. This state Of affairs is not encour-
aging to the planters and causes many to
doubt the wisdom of the law. The advo-
Gates Of the law maintain, however, that
