AT THE recent election Of bishops in the
general conference of the NJ. E. Church at
New York, Bishop Bowman stated that it
was believed that the number of votes cast
had, in one instance at least, exceeded the
number of voters present, aud warned the
members of the conference against repeti-
tion of the offence. II reflections can not be
conducted in church conferences, where all
the voters are preachers and laymen, with
out fraud and corruption, how can it be ex-
peoted that they will be conducted fairly
in political contests. in which the majority
of the voters are utterly devoid of the faint
est odor of sanctity?

engraved with various Masonic en-
blems. In 1866 Mr.. White more. then q

from the water the ring was missing
