Paul Rnilroad land-grant, Toster is likely to follow Driver within a week, His respito.cxpires noxt Fridey, and Gov. Dix's Private Secretary is authority for thoe statement that tho Governor has written Dr. Tyng that public safoty domands Lis oxecution. The Rev. Dr, Huston, of Baltimore, haa been found guilty, by the Annual Conference of his Church, of tho crimo charged sgainst him, and bas been oxpellod. An appeal will bo taken, by bis counsel, to the General Conferonco of the Methodist Church, In passing the Houso resolution of consure against mombors of Congress who voted to ine areaso their pay, the Ohio Senato added an suendmont oxtonding tho censuro to those who voted sgalust tho oxtra psy and then secopted it . Tho loan of $20,000,000 which was authorized by the Maseachusotta Legialaturo for tho bonofit of sufferers by tho Boston fire is now declared Ly the Buprems Court of that Btate to be nn- constitutional, on tho ground that it waa for pri- veto and not public uses, and not thorofore within tho aphero of legislation. e e President Grant has resppointed his brother- au-law, Casoy, Colloctor of Now Orleans., Last yonr, in complianco with the reprosentations of Judgo Scofleld, Chairman of the Committeo doputed to look into the condition of affairs in Louigiana, Gen. Grant promised to remove Ceacy, snd sskod for his rosignation, which uover was offered. The bill which originated in the Chicngo Board of Trade, and had for its object to divide the Railrond and Warchouse Commission, ana pro- vido for tho appointment of & Board of Commis- sioners whoso duties should be coufined to the supervision of warchouso receipts and inspoction of grain, was roported advorsely in the House of Roprosentatives yostorday. The report was :oucurred in, While Congresslonal dextority in the appro- aviation of the public funds is oxelting so much admiration, the porformance of Mr, Whitely, of Goorgia, should not Lo overlooked, That gon- tloman was an applicaut, in 1870, for admlssion to the Uuited Btates Senato and the Houso of Roprosentatives. o falled to be admitted into cithor hody, but suatehod vietory out of defont by drawlug full pay and mileago as & mombor of botl ds— ) Tho Loglalaturo of Tinols ins boon in soasior, olovon weoka and has passed only bwo bills, one of which was adopted to enablo the othor one to go Into offcot—conatituting virtually ono bill, Whon wo look back at thio omnibua londs of reck- Josy and unprincipled acts rushed through pro- vious Legislatures, wo are inolined to tho opinion that the best Leglslaturo Is that which passes tho fowost bills. With this standard of monsuro- mont, the prosont Logislature, with its solitary chickon, s the bost one wo havo evor had. Evidently tho Sonato monna to shirk the dla- cusslon of Bonator Patterson’s caso, to which it stands informally pledged. A resolution hns boon propared and submitted by. Bonator An- thony, which questions whatler it is proper to conaidor tho case of ono who hias coasod to b a membor of tho Honato, It declares that tho in- nction of the Bonato is not to bo intorpreted for or against Bonator Pattorson’s guill, and gives bim loave to hava n'atatement of his caso ontored on tho journnl, and publishod in the Congros- afonal Record, —ee Sonator Schurz was tho chicf figure in the Caldwoll debato yostordsy, His argument throw now light upon the duty ot tho Senato to use ite constitutional powor to judgo of Oaldwoll's elec- tlon and qualifications. After a Btate had elocted o Bonator, it loses allcontrol overhim, It has no power to recall or reconsider the olection. Thore is no remedy except through the Senate, Tho Senato can oxpel the unworthy eandidate, and give tho Btato, otherwiso helpless, an oppor- tunity to rotriovo itsolf. If tho ponding resolu- tion to declaro Caldwell not duly electod fails to paas, Bonator SBchurz sayahe will voto for Senn- tor Alcorn's resolution of oxpulsion. "We muggos t to the Cincianati oditors and poli ticinns that this 18 & good time to' stop quarrel- ing and do some mervice to the State. A Consti~ tutional Convention is soon to be chosen in Ohio, and since the offido of delegato theroto has no emolumenta attached to it, and ought to be fillod by tho ablest and miost disintorested mon, why should not Richard Smith, Murat Hal- stoad, and Froderiok Hassaurok bo chosen there- to? If thoy cannot contributo as much as any throo citizens of Losantiville to the framing of o good Constitution, we have greatly mistakon their calibro and patriotism, b — Among tho Amoricans interested in the nogo- tintions by which the Dominion Govornment plotted to botray the control of tho Canads Pa- cific Railroad into Yankeo hands, tho Toronto Globs names DMossrs, MoMullon and W, B. Ogden, - of this city; such promi- nont baukers as Winslow, Lanier & Co,; of New.York, and, smong railrond men, Gen. Cass, Prosldont of the Northern Pacific, and Thomas Bealt, of the Pounsylvania Contral. Tho Globe hns fortified its orlginal statemonts concerning the intrignes of the Government by the tostimony of ono of its agonts. Tho effect of its discloaures hns been anch that the Minis- try is on tha verge of n orisi: — Michigan legislators aro busy with-bills regu- Inting tho relations of Church and State. In tho Sonato, the Univorsity Committco reports againet monsures proposed to prevent octarian tonching in medicnl and theological schools, but the bills withdrawing from Catholic Bishops thoir power to hold property in trust, and throwing the protection of the Btate around Catholica desiring to prosecute suits against Obureh dignitaries, but doterred by threats of excommunication, aro reported favorably. In this last bill the Michigan Legislature proposes to take substantially thoe sction that involved tho Pruesian Government in its rocent contro- versy with the Catholio Church. The Qmengo produco markets were generally dull yosterday, and breadstuffs wore easior. Meus pork wes quiet, and 2o per brl higher, closing at $14.65@14.70 cash, and 814.75@14.80 soller April.

Tho cattle and sheep markets were unchanged. THE EXEQUTION' OF DRIVER, , For the-first time in many yenrs, s murderer bans boen hanged in Chicago, . Executions hore havobeen so Infrequent, thongh murdorshave been common, that thero wore probsbly many people who shuddored yostordayat tho thought that at 2 o'clook & human being was to dio upon tho gallows, as an oxpintion for an atrocious crime—tho murder of his wife—and found thom- selves sympathizing with the victim of tho law, although they had no feclings other than thoso of deteatation for the fiendish crimo ho hnd com- mitted. Ho had han!n{n and cruelly abused a patient, harmless woman for yoars, and when sho sought to fly from his cruclties ho dolib- erately killed her, and yet there woro thoss who sympathized with him, notwithstanding all that this poor, suffering woman endured, Buch = sontimental sympathy as this—for, after all, it isonly & eentimont of omotion, not n woll- grounded principlo—deservessomo conslderation iu order that it may be ascortained whether the murdoror has not boon justly punished, snd whethor he was, at any time, entitled to com- migeration, Many thousands of peoplo diod yesterday in this world, and many of thom simultancously with Driver, for no crime whatsoever, but thelr dontha excited no intorost outside their immedi- ato clroles, and yet life was os preclous to them, probably much more precions, thon to Drivor, ag the vast mafority of thom had mought to make it valusble in ropults to their familios and to- tho world, while Driver's lifo was of value to no ono but himeelf, and to Limself only in tha lowost sense, The only dif- forence in that Driver kuow the preciso time at which ho mueat die snd tho othors did not, The eympathy with him, therofore, related not so much to the more fact of doath, aa to tho mental sufterings which may have preceded it, if tho wrotoched man had enonch moral sonse left te _pont, there is no probability that ho would hiave Tho execution of a murderor should bo as pri- *party purifies ovorything with which it comes In rogard doath with auy dogreo of approhension or roluotance, All- mon know that thoy must die, and they know it more positively than Driver kuow ho would dio nt 2 o'clock, Thoy nlao knaw that Drivor would dle in a fow years, even 1f hio woro pardoned by tho Govornor, o that, 85 wo bnvo mald, tho publlo Intorost did not at- tach to thomoro mattor of doath,—which is n fack aceoptod byall mon aa abaolutely certain toocour, porhapain tho noxthour, porhiaps inthenoxt yoar, —60 muoh n8 to tho fact that Driver kuow the preciso timo of his death, andconsoquontly must havo ondurod groat mental aufforing, It s highly probablo, however, that by far the Iargor numbor of those who oxpired yosterday nufforod far more bodily pain than Driver. Tho mods of his death was loss painful than that of ordinary dissolution, In this respost, tho law is morciful. Of physical guiforing lio knew but lit- tlo. DTrobably the most of those who died yoatorday oxpired after long physieal torture. Tho Iate Lord Lytton suffored intenso and pro- longed bodily angulsh boforo doath came to his roliof. Bome poople suffer so intonsoly that thoy sook to csoapo pain by sulcido, and thoroby an- ticipato tho slow procossos of nature, English moralists aro to-day agitating tho question of euthanasia, and soeking to logitimatizo gulcide 08 a rollof from torture, in the caso of incurable disensos, the moro radical of them ovon advo- cating the removal of such unfortunates by tholr, rolatives under tho auspices of the clorgy of thio diocese. In roviowing tho exocutlon of Driver, the religious aspoot of the case mast bo considored, 28 from tho poculiarltios of the caso many ro- ligious pooplo undoubtedly Lind a groater or loss degreo of sympaihy for tho criminal, The granting of a supersedeas in tho cases of Porl, TPortoot, and Rafforty, had undoubtedly pro- duced & hop in the mind of Driver that tho samo writ would bo granted in his case. By the unfortunato error of his counsol, this hopo bo- oame o cortainly of beliof inthe mind of the doomed man, and- then, whon the mistako was discovored, but two days romained bo- foro his oxocution. Tho rofusal of the | Governor to interforo with the execution of tho law extinguished the last gleam of hopo, .ond but one day romained, which many religious peoplo will claim was too short a timo for preparation for doath. Repentance, Lowovor, is not & mattor of days, and wooks, and months. It is not measured by time, Tho thiof on the cross repented in tho throos of dissolu- tion, and was promised that day o seat in Para- diso, If, undor the circumstancos surrounding hLim, tho solitary reflections upon tho enormity of the crimo which Le had committed, the mem- ory of the yoara of abuse and cruclty, and tho final murder of the women whom ho had aworn to love and cherish, the ministrations of clergy- mon ghowing him the way to' Heaven, and the cortainty that there was no escape from death— if, undor theso circumstancos, ho did not re- rapontod had ho lived to bo a contury old, If bo did repont, then tho domands of roligion wore answored. In either camo, wo do not soo that tho religious features of tho affair wero in- fluonced at all by tho brevity of timo which ro- mained to him, The opponents of capital punishment will sympathize with Drivor on account of thoir thoeory that capital punishmont doos not offor ony safoguard to soclety, and is only a barbar- ous rolic of tho-old Mosaioc law, whorodd tho old Moeaic law, which provided that the men who shoddoth another's blood should mako componsation by the shedding of his own, was contémporary with capltal punish- ‘mont, and not tho origin of it Tho' theory la’ but an sssertion, and is not suscoptiblo of proof: Wo are propared to admit that when a public’ execution is made & public show, and hanging=: dsy is made & holidny, it con only have o domoralizing effect wupon the multitude, which is usually half-brutal and: half-maudlin, that flocks to witnoss it, vate ag’ possible. .The public should: know no more of it than the faot thiat the law hasbeon. carriod out and justice has boen vindicated. Its. torror should le in its very mystory and secresy. That this undus tendorness of heart and sym- pathy with criminals deprives socioty of & safo- guard against crimo, is cloarly shown by what is | mow trensplring in New York., While theae tendor-hearted peoplo are moving hoaven and earth, and almost canonizing Foster, in the effort to got & repricve from Gov. Dix, the desperato ruffians and murdorers of New York City are holding = perfoot carnival of violouco and murder, prosuming upon tho aid and comfort which prominent mem- bers of society are boswm'fig upon oue of their numbor. These people who are so solicitous for tho commutation of Fostor's punishment do not siop to think thit, it Gov. Dix grants it, it in ‘only certnin of oxecution during Gov. Dix's torm, and that when & new Governor is elected Toster's chances for pardon ore as good as his progout chances for commutation. The peoplo aro to be congiatulated that Gov. Boverldgo has not set bimsolf up as .wisor or moro humane than tho law.’ The power to par-" don or commute was not glven to defeat tho law, but fo suspend its oporation in. doubtful cases. Tho Governor is not responsi- ble for the taking of human lifo, oxcopt when ho intorposes: Lis authority to shield murderars, The law alono is responsiblo for tho gallows, and wo bolieve that the vindication of the law in thiy inatance will help to mako humsn- life moro socuro in thia city, and that it will be still more sooure whon tho other murderers in our jail shall Lave paid the ponalty of the law which they havo outragod by the shodding of innocont blood, : We bellove that when doliborato murder has boen proved, and no doubt exists, socioty haa the right, and ought to exerciso it, of solemnly blotting the murderor out of existonce. posalian bl e OAKES AMES' VINDICATION, Nerth Euston sonds grooting to South Bend. The Hon. Oales Ames, *the honostest man iu Congress,” has had his reception, his wolcom- ing epeeches, his complimentary rosolutions, his banquet, and the reward of his distingulshod virtue, Oakes Amea has beon in Congressmany years, but never boforo now have his constitu- onts choson g0 direot a way to testify thoir ap- prociation of his eminent abilitios and exalted patriotism. Horotofore Mr, Ames Los returned to his home and Lis ocoupation of making shovels without oxoiting any partioular mani- fostation of honor and publio estecen:, Oredit Wobilior has changed all this, Mr, Oakes Ames has now o national position, and is entitled to extraordinary considoration in tho great effort to establish the doo- trino that corruption Is impossiblo fnaido the pasty. Instead of being defiled by pitch, the contact. Oakos Amea is tho great apostle of this new oreed. and hiy recevtion st North Easton muat bo rozarded as n sort of apothoosis of olvit virtuo and solf-donial, Tho Ames reception was organized by no com- mon mob, Buch as might Lave boon rocrultod from tho adjoining shovol-factorlos. It was composod of his arlataoratio towns-poople, and falr ladien gavo it the sanction of thelr prosonco, ‘Tho banquat washold fn thio AmesSchool-Touso. The prosiding offleer was ono Dr. Cogswell, probably tho Ames family phystelan, Tho dom- onstration was mado by tho Ames party, oud ns tho Amen family oreated tho “village of North Enston ahd irnlsh ‘acoupation for ita inhabl- touts, it 18 not improbablo that Amos' money finally pald for tho Amos banquet. This ciroum- rtanco only contributed to tho harmony and cordiality of tho occralon, The President of the fontivities gavo tho honorod and distinguishod " gueat tho assuranco that his constituents looked upon him as ‘“that noblest work of God, an Lonoat man.” As this Is tho mont that Gon, Butlor rocently claimed for himsolf, Mr, Amos must have boon ‘supremely satieflod with it. The sentimont of the- oconsion was oxcoedingly appropriato. It compared the Hon, Oakes Amon to gold. Nothing could have boen more appro- pristo, unless the toast had lkensd him to Union Pacifla bonds. Mr. Amos followed tho Congressional order of tho day, and availed himself of the opportunity to mako & gonoral justification. His was not & joremind. He mado no lsmentations. Hohad dono nothing' he'was sorry for. He was tho samo noble ombodiment ‘of patriotism that completed tho Pacific Road and proyided good investments for impocunious Congrossmen. Ho gloried In & genorosity which had induced him to ‘Pait with Crodit Mobiller stock bolow its valuo. Ho allowed his frionds to' have it at the samo prico he pald for it, and even thon supplied the monoy for tho investment, It was ovident, from tho mannor in whioch Mr. Ames roforred to this foaturo of the case, thot ho intonded to lave his constituents congratulate themselves that s0.exceptionally philanthropio'a man ropra- gonted thom in Congross. Ho ndmitted, howoy- er, that tho ingratitude of Ropublics and Repub- Tlicans hed brouglit about an investigation of his gonerous conduct, and that some of his col- “Tengues Lind got themsolves into troublo by in- considerato denials of the resl facts in the caso, Theo rosult of the Poland Committao's labars, Lo statod, was * to badly damage the. charactors of some men high in offlco, for truth and voracity.” - With au acuto.sonso of the ridiculous, and with cutting brovity; he roferred to tho *f wonderful discovery™ that ho was guilty of selling stock for losa than its value, whilo thoy wore innocent who accoptod tho stock on theso torms, Onkes Ames Tolt that this situation requirod no comment, and #atdown congratulating himsolf upon higextraor- +dinary ability in’ bribing somo of the most in- “telligout mon in tho country without tholr know- ing anything about it. " Asamattar of courso, thin short mpoech was sraceived with great applause and denfening cheers. Itiaprobablo that the Iadies clapped -their little’ hauds and waved their perfumed liandkorchief, In high gleo, without the slightest +~comprohonsion of the mattor. It is likely that Onkes Amos bowod in acknowledgment, and hid “Dia contuslon bohind n bouquet. It would not bo unnatural that tho gontlomen should have quaffed gonorous bumpers at thia junctare, and all North Easton certainly rejoiced in the pos- +gession of 80 noble & representative. As o mat- tor of fact; Mr. Ames' justification ia tho plainest statoment of tho caso’that could have bson made, though probably not- what tha porty mansgors’ would have dictated, Ar. Amos _is . not. . altogether wrong when ho mekes ‘% moral distinction between a man who gives,bribes and admits it and s man who acaopts bribes and lies sbout it. But there is one - point which BMr. Amos sooms to have ignored. Thore is & gontleman from Delaware who hag an account to Aottlo with tho distin- guishod membor from North Easton, Thoro is o suit now pending in Pennsylvanis, in which Col. M'Comb Liag called upon Oakes Ames to nc- count. for 250 shares of -Crodit Mobiller stock. Upon'Mr. Ames’ own showing before the Com- mitteo, - ho distributed but 183 ghares among Congressmon. Mr. Ames has never yet explained what he did with the sixty-seven other sharea which he represented to Col. M'Comb ho had ¢ placed whera they would' do most good.” It also romnins for him to sccount for the manifold dividends upon shares which ho was holding *as Trustce.” We appre- Liend that theso ungettled accounts will give Mr. Ames more troublo than a speech at are- coption banquet., Butif ho comes off equally victoriousin his tussle with M'Comb, another ‘banquet and another testimoninl will be in order, The Wisconsin Land=-Grant Squabble, The land-grant fight at Madison is virtually onded. Two months' skirmishing culminated in a -genoral engagement on Tueaday. The rosult was a victory for tho Milwaukeo & St. Paul Rail- way. The struggle hes been a romarkable one. ‘Whon first tho issue arose, there wore but two olaimants—the North Wisconsin and tho Milwau- koo & St. Paul Companiocs. - The former had the considerable advantago of hLaving built eighteon miles of reilroad on the line dedoribed in tho grant, thereby saving it to the Stato.” But tho Company lacked financinl reputation, This weak point tho Milwaukeo & 8t, Paul Company mado the most of. They coufidently claimod tho obility to construct any line they undortook to build, The srgument wag- formidable, znd the North Wisconsin would have sucoumbed had not tho Chicago & Northwestern Company Liagteuod to its reliof, Then the contest as- sumed largo proportions. Tho chances of.suc- cess wore balanced, Distant soctions of the Stato saw their opportunity, and improved it. Thoy claimed & share inthe award, and prof- forod to ench party their representative support in consideration of pledgoes-to build raflronda into thoir diatricts. The most porsistont was tho extromo southwestern goction, They con- trolled nine votes in tho Assombly, which onabled thom to dictato torme. Their price was an ox- tension of the Milwaukeo & 8t. Paul Road from Aouroe, Wis,, to tho Mississlppi River. It was moro than tho Company would give, Aftor weoks of bickering, & compromise was effected. The 8t. Paul Company agreed fo build about thirty milos—from Monroo to Bhullsburg—which terms wore acceptod, tho votes given, and Mil- waukeo triumphod. When tho grant was firat brought on tho car~ pot, it was thought that 1,280,000 acroes of good pine-land was a donatlon well worth gotting, At the original stipulated prico, it would Lave beon arich boquest, It obligated the possossor to oonatruct & railway from Lako 8. Oroix north- ward to Bayflold, on Lako Suporior, with & branoh to Buperlor Oity—some 200 miles in all, Of the lino, 40 miles wore to be constrnoted yoarly until tho whole was completed, The clalmants soon found it could not be had so cheaply. Its valuo was wildly exaggorated. The 8t. Paul Company reproscnted it to bo worth from 815,000,000 to $20,000,000, The North Wis- oconeln lowered their estimato to §6,000,000. Ac- copting the lowest figure, it was & largo bpnus, To Insure auccess, the Bt. Paul Company offered to birild 00 milos of additional railway from a noigt on the Misslssiopl River up the Obippewa {0 \ Vailoy. This secured thom the lumbor intorest. At thin’ juncturo, the Chicngo’ & Notthomn Ppe cific Alr-Lino Company put’ in an appear- anco. With tho nld of the grant, thoy proposod to construct tho shortest lino be- tweon Chicngo and Lake Buperior, The project onlisted hearty sympathy and support from tho sections it promised to dovolop. If sucoessful, 1t would givo tho Btnto 860 milos of now railway, running from Geneva Lako through Walworth, Joftorson, Columbia, Marquotte, Adams, Wood, Olark, Chippown, Buruott, and Donglas Coun- tion to an intoracction with tho Northotn Paclfio Ttallrond. Tho 8t Paul and North Wisconsin Companios saw the necosslty of modifying tholr proposltions, The formor ngrood to pay 8 and tho Inttor 7 por cont of tho gross earnings de- rived from the road into tho Stato 'W'rossury. This last concennion wan too much for tho Ohi- cago & Northwostorn Company. Thoy doolared tho bill overloadad, and afiirmod that tho monoy to conatruct » rond through sn unsottled ro- glon could not ho procured in New York' or London. . The Bt. Paul officials ox- proesed “tho samo opinfon. . A proposition to unito their forces, capture and divide tho spoils wns submitted, for asatago lnd boen roachod whoro tho progross of logislation conld onlybo accolerated by tho disbursomont of some- thing moro proctous than froo drinks and passos. The order wont fortk to spend no monoy, and, to the dismay of mauy oxpootants, it was oboyed, * . Bimultancously, the8t. Paul and Northweatern Companioa relaxed thoir efforts, creating suspi- clon that they were scting in concort, Moan- timo, tho Air-Lino intoroat gathored strongth. Tholr force would enablo eithér party to carry thoir bill, This they proffered in consideration of being allowod ono-fifth of tho grant,—260,000 acros,—tho portion that would rightly fall to them wore their lino carried through to Buperior Olty. The Northwestern conuld not afford to tront with thom, nor countenance any plan that would ' fnsuro tho muccoss of o diroct a rival, As yo, .the lino has only & pa~ por oxistenco, Its projectors nro young men, of no considerable railroad reputation, whoseobjoct iu seoking thoe grant is to sooure a financinl standing {n Wall streot. If constructed, tholino would bos strong compotitor for the trado of tho Northwost, Bolf-intorest dictated that both.the Bt. Paul and the Nortlwestern Companies should declino to fostor its growth ; but, by a gerics of blunders, the partios claiming to reprosont thoe two leading corporations in committeo attached to the respectivo bills a pro- vision giving the Air-Line project one-fifth of the grant. When the bills wero so reported baolk the Northwostorn Company ropudiated tho bil accreditod to thom. Grest constornation en- sued, amid which an sbrupt adjournment was carried to enablo tho Intorested membors to' viait *Chicago and Milwaukeo for consultation. The rosult was curroutly bolievod to have -beenn mutual underatanding ' to unite in defeating all tho Land-Grant bills, Eminent logal opinfon was obtained, to tho offcot that the landa would not revort totho Goneral Governmont if their disposition woro loft over until next ycar. It was furthor statod that, were thobill passod s roported to tho House, noither tho oxecutive of- ficors of tho Bt. Paul nor tho Northwoestorn Com- panios would ratify tho accoptance of tho grant: ‘upon the burdensome torma imposod. Whon tho Legislaturo met on Tuesday, the show of rivalry was maintained, Tho aftor pro- ceeding of the 8t. Paul Company is not so cloer to thouninitiated. Although they had agread to Join hands in throwing out every measuro, they simply . stripped from their bill tho Air-Lino “proposition, mado the lends ox- empt from taxation wuntil tho . line should be comploted, thon put their bill through with the aid of the nine *Monroo and Shullsburg extonsion " votes. At this unexpect- ed result the losing party wore taken aback, though not greatly disappointed. Practioally, thoy withdrow from the contest when the attach- ment of o many provisions nentralized tho value of the grant. On the_other hand, it in maintained that the 8t. Paul Company have no intontion of carrying out tho provisions of tha bill, ehould it becomo & law. It requires tho construotion of sixty miles of the land-grant rond this yoar, which any Westorn company un- aided will find n serious undortaking in the pres- ent aspect of the money market. Whether tho Logislature or tho Northwestern Corapany were hoodwinked in tho final result will appoar in due timo, —_— Obituary, DISUOP M'ILVAINE, The Right Reverond Charles Pettit McIlvaine, Bishop of tho Protostant Episcopal Diocose of Ohio, -died - yesterday, at Florence, Italy.
