Blsbop Clarkion, of Nebratka, then preached
the consecration teimuu from tbe texi:"Oo
upv 1111 X come, even unto tbe great sea weal--ward."
He began by saying tbat tbe position
to which the Blsbop elect bad beeu called was
one ot tbe proudest, mot honorable, and Im
portant, and then coDtiuoei by alluding to the
great want of our Western cjuolry Xor mis
sionaries. When the work of the General Convention Is
folly accomplished we shall have five Mission
ary BUhop In the West; bat tbat naoaber Is
utlrely lnsafficlenl; we should send out at
least seven lu addition. Keraember that the
least of iheue Western dioceses U more t hi a
doable the slee of the State of PenusylvauU,
and what In such a vast region can one man,
Je be ever po arduous and nctive, accomplish?
We want a Missionary Bishop In every Terri
tory- Dally the rulBlouury labor In those
-places Is becoming more ditnault. The Terr!
lories are Browing Into Hlates. Tue? are
ropldlv mcreuHlug in population, a population
to which it is our duly to carry tbe (ioepel. On
HorlDturul authority we plead theo for a BNhop
In every Territory, ."even unto the great sea
eatwara."
Bat there are other grounds. We plead for an
Increase in the number of bishops because suoh
an Increase is dictated by tbe soundest reason.
Mow Is tbe time to do our work, if ever. Toe
a'rrltcries are now formative, and we en
easily Insert our leaven Into the yet unbar d
ned lump.
But H way be urged tbat If such Territory be
assigned a Missionary Uishop.lt mnyo iiueto
tints when tbe Te rltorles grow Into Htates and
fmenrne reenlar dioceses, that the Missionary
BlKbnp will not he tbe choice by tbe people fjr
she Kplscopate.
As far an Ibis is concerned, If the Missionary
TllMhnn la tbe riitin Kin l or a mau, tr lie oe suon
man as tbey supposed who sent him out, he
cannot fall of belli k the cuoiceol tne people.
But suppose hedoes not receive thelrsupport,
Wby, then let him retire let him not prevent
Ibe nroeressof the Church: let him not pUce
felmtelf as an obs'acle In tbe way ot go-ipel
advancement. And to this stepping aside every
man would exclaim, amen. IodtviduaU in the
ri nrch. as In tbe world, are notbtne.
The people of the West are waiting for the
omina of tbe armed and drilled and expe
rienced soldiers of Christ, A great work i to
tie done in that vast country in mat portion
of our land so soon to be the home of millions.
1 beseech yon, then, to look out seven men of
goou report, ami seua mem to tue harvest on
sue western plains.
Tbe reverend speaker then addressed his re
narks directly to the Blsbop elect, who rose
noon his feel to receive inern. lie saiu:
You i bis day enter lntolthe line of the urandest
nobility upon tne laoe oi tne earm, a noe tni

and may bilngmany to tbe foot of the (Jrom
ball be our constant prayer. May you prove
faithful onto death, and afterwards receive the
irnwii of alorv. .
Tbe it rmal ceremonies of consecration then
began. The Blsbop elect was presented to the
? resitting officer, uisuop Lee, ot ueiaware, by
wo cleritvmen. one on either side of him. tbe
presiding ollltwr calling for the oertinoties of
Iiih niuess lor toe nrxii'e, l ufo were presemeu
and read by Dr. Hodges, the Secretary of the
iuie convention.
Afier thereadlnzof the testimonial. Rev. Mr
Morris, tbe Bishop e ejt. read a statement of
his willingness to aorepl the offloe, and his de
termlratlon to do all In bis power to susUIn
tbe dmnliv of tbat otMce and acoomDlish lia
purposes. As he finished his subscription to
ibe acceptance, the omciating clergy aud the
entire ooneregaiion sneu nna engagea in reu
clous exercises, sum a oy tne Lnunv.
The BUhop elect was ibea again presented,
and examlneJ upon certain points ol Christian
Jnllh, experience, and reBolve, lu order thtt
those present might be convinced of his compe
tency to assume tueorUce.
Tnis examination conclnded, he was arrayed
In full Bishop's robes by two of the ollioUtlng
ministers, and then approached In a body by
the other Bishops present. He knelt before
tbem white the congregation arose. An appeal
to Aitnianty utiu lor me pun ent ot tne novi
tiate was then made by both clergy and people.
After a prayer the Bishops all laid their
Hands upon tbe minister's head, the Presiding
Bishop saying: "Receive the Holy Ubost for
neomoe auu worn or a uisunn in toe unnron
of God, now committed unto thee by tbe Impo
sition of bands, in tbe name of the Father and
r tne Hon ana or tne woiy uuost. Amen.
And remember that thou sllrnp the grace of
Ood which is given tbee by the imposition of
hands. Kor Gou bath not given us the spirit of
lea . bat or power ana love or s loernnss."
Tbe Bible was then presented to the elected
Bishop by tbe presiding Bishop, with wnlob
delivery the formal ceremonies of consecration
wer over.
Prior to the dismissal of the congregation the
Holy Harrament was anminiHterea, and a ooi-
Jeefon tsken up for the benefit, of the Territory

Annexation, Pro and Can.
Halifax, Dee. 3. Mr. Anuand publishes
another letter In reply to Mr. Home. He takes
np Ur. Home's poiuts teriatim, tod disputes
bis conclusions respecting the charge against
the Government organs of being annexationists.
He accuses Home of encouraging and dissemi
nating annexation sentiments among Nova
Ecotiaus, and says the leaders of the local gov
ernment have no other desire than to recover
their lost constitution, and oconpy the same
position they enjoyed two years ago as a self-
governing eolony of the Crown. None of them
desire annexation, nor will any of them make
an effort in that direction, until all constitu
tional means have been exhausted to regain
their liberty. But the time may come, if the
BiitUh Government continues its opposition,
when tbe einceiity of the Americans in tbvtlr
professions of a determination to niuintain the
principles of tho Monroe doctrine, and not allow
Dy community on this side of theAtlantio to
be coerced into a state of vassalage, may be pat
to the test.

The Reeeul Treaty
between our Govern meut and Russia provides
for teenriog complete and etllcient protection
to the maoulacturitig industry of their respect
ive cities and subjects, and aerees that any
counterfeiting in one ol the two countries of the
tradcmaik aflixd on the other's merrhindise to
show its origin and Its quality, shall be strictly
prohibited aud repressed, and sbail i;ive grounds
for an action of damages in favor of the injured
party, to be prosecuted in the courts of the
country in which the counterfeit shill b? proven.
The trademarks in which the ciUsens or sub
jects of one of the two countries may wish to
secure the rub Is of property in the other, aiuit
be loJged eiciusively, to wit: The mirks of
the citizens of the Ufcited Slate, in tbe Depart,

Trcassrer Kpianer'a Report
ipraksot the feminine clerks employed in his
Bureau in the hie best terms, and It it under
stood that he will recommend that they ba
placed on an equality with the male clerks ot
like qualifications. The highest rate of pay ol
ths termer class is $900 a jtar, while the lowest
grade of male cleiks receive $1200 per annum.
It is also reported that the Treasurer dislikes
the existing
Three and Five Cent Coin,
aad will recommend that the irsue be called 'n
as fast as postdble and their further issue discon
tinued. General Grant.
General Grant, in private conversation, has
said that we can expect no permaaent peaee
with the Indians until tbe Government transfers
the Indian Bureau to the War Department. He
sajtlhat the entire system of furnishing supplies
to the. Indian is vicious, and aeeds reformation
from the bottom. Tne Indians are ostensibly
supplied with scores of thiegs lor which they
have no ase whatever, and are swindled in both
quantity and quality even of the.-e goods. Guns
and ammunition are soil them, in violation of
law, by agents, or their aisociates, and it is im
possible to punish them through the courts. It
the Bureau were transferred, the Indian supplies
would then be furnished just as army supplies
are furnished, aud tbe whole work could taen
be done at one-qsarter to one-half tbe preseot
cost. The army now gfts all the kicks aud
cufls of the Indian troubles, and can have no
voice in the Indian management.
