Ite LEGALITY. Tho quostion of the right of the Chancollor of the Diocero and Ciancollur of the Cathedral to Yote in the elaction of Uishop is not likely to bo brought forward by the defeated minority os a reason why the Bishops and Stauding Commit- teee should withtold their consent to the canse- eration of Ds. Do Koven as Bishop of this Div- cosa, ‘Tho fuct that the result was not fected by the two disputed votes plainly appeara. ‘Tho lant lay ballot showed s total of 59 yotes cast, necessitating 30 for coudrmution. ‘Thora wero SL votes cast for De, Do Kovon, Leaving out Mecssra, Judd and Whitehouse, the total number of votos cast would havo been reduced to 57, requiring 29 for confirmation, and as they both voted for Dr. De Koven, thero world atil! remain 29 without thelr votes. ‘The oou- aticutionality of the canons undor which the Cusuceltors dorive the privitoges of lay mombera of the Convention i» tho only pox upon which the defeated minority can hang a protest against the two voles. The canous thomscivos are per- fectly explicit in conferring the right to vote, Judge Otis yesterday expressod himself mout positively on the point. Said he: “There is not the slightest - doubt of the right of the Chancollors to yote tn Con yontion. Any legleletive privileges of its own mombere.

It Id to absurd, ho ssid. to expect that the Standing Committooa and Bishops would pay anv attoution tos claim (if aay were made, which he hot anticipate) that a portion of the votes by which Dr. De Koveu waa clocted wero uncountitutional. They would assutno that tho Convention waa the absoluio dndys of its own rozuiations and canons, ent would not entertain élis claim even if there wera anytbing in Tho argument made AGAINST THE Riant of the Chaucellora to vote is, that the Conetinwion of .the Diocese pra. scribes aud defines who shall he oligible to vote in the Diocesan Convention, aud that that Constitution, the euprome law of the Dio. cove, Hrnits tho right to clorgyman and laymen ropresenting parishes in good ptanding, and ree- ogmzed ly the Church, The Chancellors wera Gelogate representalivos of auy parish. beir sole authority to vote in the Convention arises froin 8 canon adopted by tua Convention which created tho offices. ‘The argument is tha: the Convention had uo authority by guy ereatiou of afiice, or by any canon, to violate the Cousti- tution by authorizing any official, or any pergon, Lo vote in euch Church Convention who i not Ko authorzed by the Constitution, Ib 41 held to be parullel to the sction of a State Lepir- {ature which should create an oflice, elect the Official, and attempt to clotue him with the power to take part tn the dolizerations and tho Yotas of tho poupic's representatives, elected ly the peoplo under the provisions of tho State Constitution, which action would be ontirel7 body may define the | ra nugatory and void, ax in contravention of tle supreme law of tie State.

B. THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION, OFINIONS Gt AN TNYLEICVICED otTSiDEN, To the Kiditur of The Clacauo Tribune: Circaco, Feb. &.—Tho choice of Dr. De Ko- vou a6 Bishop by tho lata Diocesan Convention of Illinois will be something of a surprise to the larger portion of the Episcopal Church in the Uinted States. Tho impression was wide-spread that hia lnet defeat in tho now Dioceso of Wis- cousin quite destroyed his prospect of elevation toany Bishopric. ia election Thursday, it in but jyst to say, was owiug to his great personal popularity wlth somo mem- bers of the Convention, aud not because the most of his constituents accopt hia theology, Warm friendship — simply brought him 2 good many voles, Whether support chicfly on each grounde, in so grave a matter aw the choice of aLishop, is right in ctuics or judicious in practice, wo loaye ecclesiastical caeuiata to do- termine. In statosmanship or businees involy- iug great responsibilitice, tho principle would not he admiesible. Tho election, however, is over, but we doubt whether the question ax to the next Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Mbnoia is aeilied. ‘The minority claim tant the proceedings of thy Conyon- tiou wore unfairly conductad; that at least three clergymen voted who Were not antitled to the privilega; and that the Cusncollor of theDiocoso aud tho Chancellor of tho Cathedral had no Tight, under tho coustitutiva of tho Church, to tho ballot which thoy exercised. With our prei- ent ligh on the subject, it strikes us that their claimi3 in como respects well-founded, Moro- over, ® good many clergymen and parithes re- fuse to wign the cestinoniats of the Iushop-elect, which will probably emberrasy hia prospects of getting tho consent of the Bishops aud Standing Committess of tho different Dioceses to bis con- secration, ‘Tho fact that ho is ob{ectionablo to at least ® respectatle portion of the Episcopal Church in this Stato is indwputadle. If be should become Biviop, itis ceriain, f statementa of many reliable and inilaontiat persous can be trusted, that serious cousequences to the Church would follow. Support in tho work vf diocesan missions would be withhold, discouragement would come to parisbeu that have long strugzlod agninst te popalar projudico of the sinrouuding community towarda the Episcopal Cuurch, and Inndruuces to the furtaer progregs of that Caurch would be encountered whors, uuder favorable auspices, it might bo successfully planted. ‘I'he Teformed Itpacops! Church would get a new aod powerful impulse, and, doubtless, in vome sec- tious supplant ity venerable payent. Indeod, nothing could bo more fortunate for the prosperity of the Heformoed Episcopal Cunrch in Himes than the actuul prosenco of Dr. Do Koven here a8 Bishop, Thoro is no disguis.ng the fact that he roprosents the Rituwatistic party in the Epiecopal Churek. ‘Tuat party is active, shrewd, evorgotic, and aggres- sive; tolerunt now, but once strong, would be, if history 16 sustruotive, narrow and. oppresaive, Meu who write like Judge Drummond iu his lotter which was read beforu the Conveution show very little insight inta the sacerdotal system, aud a vory superficial knowlodgo of tho growth aud use of ecclesiastical power under thatasystein, when they recommend a theologian ot Dr. De Koven's stripe fur » Protestant Bishop. ‘Tho moro couscience such ® mau bas the more resolute and uncompromiving he wilt bo in the furtherance of his churchman. thip, It is bsrdly our provinco to pursue this’ subjoct whete it loads, yet one things pretty plain: what Bishop Cummins and his fot- lowers cisim aa the drift of the Episcopal Church has clear illustration ia tho action of the Inte Convention. Ofcourse tho majority of thous who voted for Dr. De Koven repudiate any in. tention of compromising their Church, or of crippling its Protestant influence in the sorm- munity. ‘The scticn of the Convention, how. over, will be regarded in many quariora as signiti- cant, aud there will be felt 2 pecullar intorcnt aa to the tual resnlty. x. bc i gta nan’ Say Anything. dave ago, says tho San Francisco Chronicle, a rather passe lady yot into x closely packed car ou Kearaoy street, near the Maivon Dore, At first no one rose to give hers seat, but, a8 the car reached the Whito' Houve, » gon- tloman, evidently an suvolia, struggled painfully to bis féot, and with » quivt “A svat, Madamo,” stopped ono side for the lady, Sle took possos- sion with no azgrioved look, as though he had boen defrauding her of hor just due.
