Ag to ono thing, howovar, thora ia no alfferonco of opinion; the successor will bo 9 Low-Quurch- man,—ono whose record is clear and unmistak- nblo, ‘Tho mantio of Bishop Leo is a prizo to bo coveted, andis by o goodly ninnber, of unquos- tlonablo worth and fitness. Oandidelos from Now York, Masoachusotts, and sovoral Westorn Sintes, pro alroady cauvagsing tho fold, with considerablo of tho carnestness and zeal which chnractorizo » politival campaiga, So markod bas this become that tho note of warn- ing hag alrondy beon sounded by tha Inity, lost tho Convention bo packed, to their discontfiture and dofont. Tho pooplo of ths Hawkoye Stato ara progressive in their ideas, liberal in their “ylows, and opposed tv contralization of power in Church or State. ‘fhe roliglous bodies thorcof algo aro tinctured with like principtos. Tho tou- dency to pinco tho election of Dishop in the hands of thoeclergy, which cropped out in Illi- nos avd Wisconsin, will not be lost sight of in ‘Towa ; and I mistake tho tempor of tha laity if thoy do not stand by tho motto of tho Stato, and maiutatn their righty, courteously, yet none tho lous firmly, ‘The oloction of 2 Bishop is one in which tho laity are cortainly mout intorested, Their reja- tion to hie is for life. Ho becomes a part of their lifo religions work, in allits phases. Their relation to tho clergy is comparatively cphomural. Ifacterayman becomes dissatistled, or his parish displonsod, 2 copnration follows, Not so with tho Bisbop. ‘the tendency of tho Church to allow tho clorzy to rulo in tho choico of n Bishop, instead of the laity, who aro alono ontitied to it, will very probably recalve n check in tho forth- coming Convention, and most nesuredly unicss sovorat ambitions candidates slacian thofr offorts, Anothor quastion which will come up is a di- vision of the digcoso, aud this may cotormina tho olection of the Bishop. Thore is a strong desire in the nerbhorn part of tho Btato for a division, Several doleystes hava been instructed in ratace onco to it, Should tho pinch como, politicians can ensily sco how this muttcr could ‘bo wand to great adynntage in fsvor of ono candidate or another for Bishop.

In view of the thres murdors in this city since tho law pbolishing hauging was passod,—n city whero not a murder waa befora committed,— tho people hive watched with considerable nterest the developments mado in {heso trials; and they aro. surprised, ag woll a8 tho loral profersion, at tho ‘bungling of tho stalutes relative to murdor. When banging was iu foreo, murder wan not a bailablo offense. In abolishing banging, the Legislature fasled to restore the clause relative to ball in endo of mur- dor, Again, it was discovered that tho distinc thon batweon accossory before tho fact and a principal had boon abrogated; but an wccessory after tho fact was loft ont, oxcopt that he might he Indicted, though the principal was not, Dut indict him for what? Cortainly for n murder, whon ha was not prosent whon tho crime was commitlad, and of course took no part in it. Although, a8 in tho instanco of Goorge Jamison, in tho cago now on trial, he know of tho murdor, and helped to carry the’body of tho viotim ont of tho howso and dispose of it, yet he contd not bo indicted, aud wout seot-frea. Anothar fact dovolopad was, that tho old rnlo had beon so ohangod that a juror was incamps- tont who had oxprossed or a¥en hold an opinion upon tho case, or who know, anything about it, Tt would not bo surprising if hanglog is re- stored again in this Stare. ‘THE NANKIN-DRANDT CASES, Doubtless somo carpor will exclaim, “ Tust as Toxpected!” when it 18 aunounced that these cases hayo gone over to the noxt tern, Ho must attribute it to the law's dolay and tho gont- ous of shrowd counsel, In tho caso of Rankin, soveral demurrera woro raised by the defonse, whieh wore overruled, and it wan fonnd impossi- ilo to try the caso at the pregont torm, and got through with the murdor cayes, which it wag imn- pemativaly. nocossary to dispoxo of, owing to tho ioavy oxponso imposed in kooping and guarding day and night the largo numbor of prisonors and witnosses Involved thoroin, Anothor, and prob- ably important ronson was, thes tho prosont Judgo vacates the Bonch at tho closo of this toring and tho caso would gobult-tried to anothor judge.
