THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Use of Wine In the sacrament-The Mar
riage and Divorce Canon.

CHICAGO, October H.--The General
Convention Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church resumed its sessions at the Central
Music Hall this forenoon. A message was
received from the House of Bishops, declar-
ing that in the judgment of the Bishops,
the use of the unfermented Juice of the
grape in the sacrament is not warranted
by the example of our Lord and was an un-
authorized departure from the practices Of
the Catholic Church, and that the mixing
of water with the use of wine was not OBJ
iectionable provided it be done ritualistic-
ally until authorized by the change Of the
rubrics. The message did not require any
action by the Deputies.
A resolution was adopted to appoint a
committee to present a plan OF making no.
tifcation to the dioceses of the changes
adopted in the prayer book.
A resolution was adopted providing for
a Joint committee of three Bishops, three
clericals and three laymen to whom should
be re-committed the whole subject of mar
riage and divorce, to report thereon to the
next General Convention the second day
thereof The House then resumed its con-
sideration to the proposed amendments 10

MEXICO AGITATED.
A scheme to Establish Dictatorship
Diax Assailed.

Disx Assailed.
NoGALEs, A. T., October T.-The pro-
pssal of prominent Mexican to establish a
Dictatorship to replace the Presidency Of
Mexico, is causing great deal Of comment
along the border. The Mexican papers
with few exceptions, have lately espoused
the scheme and urge its adoption, but the
tone of the opposition journals is extremely
bitter. One of the latter, El Aonitor From
terisco, says:
General Diaz prepares the road to the
Dictatorship; the Visids Aerieo has en-
tered the arena and proclaims it. Con-
gress is called on to sanction the will Of
the Cesar of the Continent Senor Romero
Rubio works silently to realize this new
plan. Not being able to bring to success
his project to prolong the Presiden-
tial term, he took up the Dictator
ship, and it happens that this project
is fathered by pillar of the Conserva-
tive party, and the people seem to be in

Why not hereditary "%* When nations
do not possess the necessary manhood to
be free. nothing is more evident than that
despots will take advantage of their indo-
lence and erect thrones and sway the sccp-
tire. 1t is nine years now since the men of
Gurteher (Diaz's party climbed step by
step the ladder which leads to despotism,
and once there have defed public ire.
Already they ignore the iunda-

la Tos de Merico strongly urges, in its
latest edition, that General Diaz be made
Dictator, and the organ of Monte Allegro
demands that the Generals term be made
twenty years, and that the Office he made

Special TsiegraRs to the Register.
CLARKsBURG, w. Va, October 27.-
When the Republican convention was held
at Weston Hon. b. Il. Dovener withdrew
from the Congressional contest in favor of
Cot, rs his friends understood, so that
the field would be clear in 1883, and in
sure his nomination at that time beyond
question. Very recently secret conclave
was held in this town, the result of which
is that Boss" Atkinson is speaking at
every croSs-road and school house in this
county in the interest of GOf, the
conditions being, from reliable
Republican source, that after
this canvass Goff whether elected or de-
feated will be out of the race for Congress
sional honors, and his influence will be
welded for Geo. W. Atkinson, which
means solid delegation for the Boss
from Harrison county. This certainly will
be great disappointment to Dovener, es-
pecially as he had reasons to hope he
would be the lucky man.
Mr.. John E. Stealy, formerly Repub-
lican and citizen of excellent character
and business qualifications, was nominat-
ed By the Greenback Convention for the
House of Delegates. Now that Mr.. Stealey
proposes to make the canvass We are in
formed that certain Republicans have So
lieited him to withdraw from the contest
in the interest oftheir party. He has even
been threatened to be bOycotted. This
certainly indicates the desperate condition
of affairs in the Republican camp. Mr..
Stealey is q man of principle, and will
