THE PROPOSED NEW EPISCOPAL
DS OCESE.
Among other of the many important mat
ters which will be submitted to the approach
ing General Convention of the Episcopal
Church, will be a project for the division of
the diocese of Pennsylvania. Many of our
readers are well aware that such a movement
is on foot; but as its progress, and the special
facts relating to it, are imperfectly understood
by a large class of persons who are deeply
interested in the subject, we give below an
account of the present position of affairs, and
of the attitude of the parties in the Episcopal
Church in relation to it.
Up to the year 1865 the Conservative ele
ment in the Episcopal Church was so pow
erful,that every effort to procure a division of
the start . into two dioceses was defeated, and
although the dimensions of the Church had
increased in proportion with the population
and the material interests of the State, it de
volved upon a single bishop to supervise a
territory as large as that over which his pre
decessors had jurisdiction when the labor was
a tithe as severe. The consequence was that
the bishops were successively broken down in
health, and made utterly unfit for duty.
In 1865 the Slate was divided,
and the western counties were set aside as
portions of the diocese of Pittsburgh. This
gave but partial relief, for much the most ar
duous duties of the bisholDric were demanded
in the East. In the Convention last spring it
was determined to make a second division,
and twenty-eight counties in Central Penn
sylvania were designated for the new diocese,
as follows Adams, Bedford, Berke, Blair,
Bradford, Centre, Clinton, Columbia, Cam
berland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Hunt
ingdon, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Ly
coming, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland ,
Perry, Potter, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan,
Tioga, Union and York.
The bishop gave his consent to this ; more
than two-thirds of the clergy in the designa
ted counties signified their desire for the sep
eration; and not only was the necessary sup
port for a b ishop pledged, but a large sum
was contributed by the citizens of Williams
port for an Episcopal residence in that city.
The matter therefore has but to be referred
to the General Convention, to receive a final
settlement.
The opponents of the measure urge that the
Bishop can be relieved better by the appoint
ment of an assistant, but the canon law per
mite this only when the Bishop is disabled'
It is urged that to. permit the present incum
bent to labor on until he is permanently
disabled, and then to appoint an assistant,
'who will likewise be broken down, would
be cruel and foolish. Besides, there is very
grave reason to doubt the wisdom or appoint
ing two heads to a single organization.
There might be a want of unanimity,
and if the labor of the two officials was not
distributed throughout the diocese in a hap
hazard manner, without system, there would
have to be a nominal division of the diocese
into two fields at any rate. The advocates of
the plan believe that separation, by giving
to each bishop a smaller field, will enable
both to concentrate efforts which are now
diffused, and by saving enormous physical
labor, afford such an opportunity for direct
personal supervision of the churches, as is
much needed,but quite impossible at present.
A bishop in the Episcopal Churah exer
cises an important influence upon the pros
perity of his diocese. In this State, hitherto,
he has been compelled in a great measure to
confine himself to the mere performance of
his peculiar Episcopal functions. He has
not had opportunity to fulfil his equally im
.._portant_dutie, as an executive and-u t i ni ta u
-- liativis — iifficer. 'A -religious denomination, as
well as another organization, needs a head,
who shall supervise the general conduct of
the churches, and be competent to deal Judi_
eictudy with matters of detail. It seems reu-
sonable to suppose that the proposed diVision'
of labor will effect this important object: •
The scheme has . many enemies, most of
whom base their objections upon purely par
tition grounds, into the merits of which it is
not our province to inquire. The discussion
in the General Convention will be a bitter
one, and will develop considerable earnest
ness and zeal on both sides. All parties are
sated that there is necessity for the exten
sion of relief in some form to the present in
cumbent of the bishopric. The only ques
tion then will be upon the best method of
securing that relief. The members of the
Convention, unprejudiced by party passion,
will probably decide the matter for the best
interests of the Church, without regard to
the feelings of either side.
THE LAMEST HORROR.
Since the butchery of the Deering family
by Anton Probst, in the spring of 1866, there
has been no crime committed in Philadelphia
that has caused so profound a sensation as
the murder of little Mary Mohrmann, in the
Nineteenth Ward. The brutal butchery of
a harmless and helpless child, only six years
old, is atrocious enough; but- the killing of
the child is, if possible, dwarfed in enormity
by the nameless crime which led to her taking
off. Thus far there seems to be but little
hope of a clue to the detection of the perpe
trator or perpetrators of the double crime; but
the opinion of Dr. Shapleigh that the child
had been dead at least twenty-four hours be
fore the body was thrown into the pond,
suggests possibilities that tend to en
courage a hope that the dread crime
will not go unpunished. It is
certain that the child disappeared on Sunday
evening, and that she was last seen in com
pany with a strange man. This man was
seen by children only, and as their descrip
tion of bis appearance would fit ten thousand
honest men in the city, it affords but little
clue. On Tuesday morning, thirty-six hours
later, the body of the child was found in the
pond, and competent medical testimony de
clares that fit-least twenty-four hours had
elapsed between the killing and the casting the
body into the water. If Dr. Shapleigh is cor
rect in his opinion, the body was concealed
somewhere during the whole of Monday.
The strong probability is that the hiding
place was a house and that house the scene
of the outrage and murder. The intelligent
detectives who have the matter in charge
do not need to he instructed as
to their duty; but to our
thinking a search for this house, and an
ultimate fixing of its identity, will avail much
more than a vague hunt for tall, slim men
with black whiskers. The offer of a hand
some reward, which would be a sufficient
temptation to any person who might possess
some clue to the mystery, would also be a
great help to the cause of justice. Such
crimes as this make men blush for their race,
and bring disgrace upon the fair name of the
city. The authorities, and, in faet, every
citizen, to the extent of his power, owe it to
the cause of justice and humanity to leave
untried no means to bring to justice the per
petrator'of this nameless crime.
Since the above was written Mayor McMi
chael has issued a proclamation offering a
reward of one thousand dollars for the arrest
of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the crime.
This is well, and the action of the Mayor will
meet the ready endorsement of every good
citizen. This morning one of the shrewdest
and most indefatigable officers of the detec
tive service was added to those who already
had the matter in hand. This also is well.
We earnestly hope that the next issue of the
BUI LETIN will contain a report of the finding
of a reliable clue to the mystery of this fiend
ish crime and of the capture of the monster
who has brought disgrace upon the name of
man.
SOUTHERN SWEARING.
Gen. Lee and hie friends, in their reply to
Itosecrans, say they "returned to their peace
ful pursuits with a sincere purpose to fulfi
all their duties under the Constitution of the
United states, which they had sworn to sup
port." As a condition precedent to receiving
an education at the expense of the govern
ment, H. E. Lee swore to support and defend
the Constitution of the United States. He re
peated that oath every time he received a new
commission for the successive grades of his
advancement in the army. By referring to
the files of the War Department it will be
found that in this way he swore ten times
over to support the Constitution he afterwards
destroyed.
Beauregard also glibly took the same oaths
seven times, and falsified them at his earliest
opportunity. If such numerous obligations,
taken as a condition precedent to receiving
personal emolument, proved worthless to re
strain these men from treason, of what effect
will be the single reluctant oath to support
the Constitution to which they now so pomp
ously refer ? In view of the facts, the fine
sense of honor, indicated by the words we
have quoted, refreshes us. The assurance
that the Constitution has such defenders can
not fail to be consoling, while the recollection
of the late "onpleasantness" is fresh upon our
minds.
Newspapers of any importance are always)
quick to feel the changes that occur in the
community where they are published. They
feel the dullness of the summer months in a
falling off of their advertising and in a dimi
nution of their home subscribers, which,
however, is more than made up by the sub
scribers at the summer resorts. Just now the
BULLETIN, along with its prosperous contem
poraries, is feeling the arrival of autumn in
an increased pressure on its advertising
columns, and in numerous changes
of subscribers from country to
town. There is a general appearance of
revival in all our streets. Thousands of
dwellings that have been long shut up, or
occupied by servants, are re-opened. _The
retail shopping streets are again thronged,
and the clerks and saleswomen are once
more made busy. Trade of nearly every
kind has considerably improved, and there
are hopes that it will be long before there will
:beAy% :41"- - )Pietiiinta - period of depreesion as
that through which the business community
has lately passed. The lively manner in
which the more enterprising and prosperous
houses are beginning to advertise shows that
they feel confident of a good season.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN -PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1868.
The Blair and Seymour party, in the
Northern States, ought to be called "the mur
der party," as they count on cutting down the
Grant and Colfax vote, by murdering the
Grant and Colfax voters. A despatch from
Little Rock, dated Sept. 4th says_: "Nine
een Republicans have been assassinated in
Columbia county within ten days. One man
was shot with eleven bullets for shouting for
Grant. A perfect reign of terror exists in the
few counties where there are large rebel ma
jorities but all is quiet in counties where there
are Republican majorities, and also in rebel
counties where Mountain Feds. live." Not
only in Arkansas,but in Tennessee,Louisiana,
Georgia and all the other old slave States, are
there daily murders of white and black
men who
, are in favor of Grant. The only
way to stop this is to elect Grant and ensure
peace, and protection to all good citizens.
Public men as well as private ones mus t
be judged by the company they keep. Fox
and Sheppard are small reflections of Sey
mour and Blair. They are all supported by
the same classes, either by those who opposed
the Union and the war for the Union as north
ern Copperheads, or those who did the same
work as Southern rebels. To the Union-loving
American voter, the most extreme Radical is
more deserving of his support than the most
moderate rebel. Grant is sustained by the
men who fought for the Union. Seymour by
the men who fought against IL
The wind, last n ight, was from the none_
east. It came straight from the Third Con
gressional District, where the masses of hon.
est workingmen turned out to declare their
devotion to Grant, Colfax and Peace. This
huge demonstration was not managed by
politicians. It was in the hands of the manu
facturers and mechanics, and they did them
selves lasting honor by the way in which
they proved their intelligent appreciation of
the fact that their best interests lie in a
hearty support of the party that carried the
country safely through the war.

Mr: `. Roebuck, M. P., has bitien insulting
Hon. Revercii Johnson and the peOple of the
United States, in a speech made at Sheffield.
The exact nature of the insult is not yet
known, the cable news-men not having
thought proper to telegraph it. But it has
made a sensation in England, and 'the 'limes
and all the other prominent papers are m ak
ing haste to condemn and disavow it.
This Roebuck was the devoted friend of the
rebels all through our war, and labored, in
and out of Parliament, to have the Southern
Confederacy recognited by Great Britain
and France. Of course he feels sore
at the triumph of the Union cause, but he
might have the decency to avoid parading his
disgust and disappointment before a gentle
man like Reverdy Johnson; the duly ac
credited Minister of the United States, who
has been so very anxious to convince the
English people of the friendliness of himself
and his government. We shall look with
some curiosity for the full report of his of
fensive remarks, which can only be expected
now by the mails. In the meantime, noth
ing that Roebuck can say need alarm us.

though it there transmits messages in English alone. To.
day, great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chi.

THE Not - ETRE:Sin WARD HORROR A RE
v.' ARD OFFERED FOR THE ARREST OE THE
F I EN D.—The excitement in the Nineteenth Ward
In reference to the fiendish murder of the little
girl. Mary Mohrmann, still continues. During
all of yesterday the brutal outrage was the sub
ject of discussion among knots of people who
assembled in the vicinity of the police station
and in the neighborhood of the residence of the
mother of the child, Mrs. Sophia Mohrmann, No.
•.?0 , 16 Orkney street. This morning there was
little abatement in the excitement.
The twisr-mortein examination of the body made
yesterday by Dr. E. B. Shaplelgh, the Coroner's
physician, disclosed unmistakable evidence that
the little girl had been outraged. On the top of
the head there were three terrible wounds, which
had evidently been caused by some blunt instru
ment. The neck bore many scratches and bruises,
showing that the little one had been strangled.
The blood which bad flowed from the wounds
upon the top of the head was dry, and the physi
cian is of the opinion that the child had been dead
at least twenty-four hours before her body was
thrown into the pond.
Lieutenant Witcraft and the officers of the Ele
venth District Police were engaged during all of
yesterday and last night in scouring the country
to the vicinity of the pond where the body was
found. A worthless character, who had blood
on his pantaloons, was arrested on suspicion of
being the murderer. Ho showed conclusively,
however. that the blood on his garments had
flowed from a cut over his eye, and frilly satis
fied the officials that their suspicions were
groundless. Neither the efforts of the Eleventh
District Police nor the detective officers have, as
yet, resulted in finding any clue by which the
perpetrator of the fiendish act can be found.
This morning Detective Joshua Taggert was
detailed by the Mayor to investigate the affair,
and in company with Deputy Coroner Jae. W.
Fletcher, visited the scene of the murder to en
deavor to fathom some of the mystery sur
rounding the outrage.
A reward of $l,OOO for the arrest of the mur
derer has been offered by the Mayor, as will be
seen by the following proclamation, which was
issued this morning.

ELEGANT SILVER WARE.—James E. Caldwell
it Co., the well-known jewelers of No. 902 Chest
nut street, have been occupied, during the sum
xner, in getting up a stock of silver-ware, for
their fall and winter business, which, in extant,.
variety and beauty, far exceeds all the previous
efforts of that enterprisingttrm. It is not'say
ing too much to speak of their display of wares
as an art-exhibition, for the rapid advance in this
branch of. American manufactures is rapidly
reviviag the old days of Contra, when the.
Workers in gold and silver were ranked among
the masters of the fine arts.
The new shapes and designs for every imagi
nable piece of sliver-ware, from a salt-cellar to a
moup-tnreen, or from an egg-spoon to an
sipersne, are of great variety, fine taste, and most

chasing has been nebjayed hi brews Caldwell
er. Co.. and numerous beautiful specimens of this
delicate work are exhibited in the form of
pitchers, sties; bowls,' fruit-stands and other
table pieces • .
Among the man y be.antles of this art4irtsefint
of silver-ware, are sets'of • table-service enriched
with FgYPtian, - Gtecian and other classical de
signs, Including many specialties in the way of
salad-dishes. with curiously-wrought golden
lobsters doing: duty as handles; ice
dishes, with polar bears and other arctic
emblems; bon-bon holders of the most
fascinating models; and other ingenious contri
vances for the beautifying of festive scenes. In
fine contrast with these specimens of elaborate
engraving, chasing and other decoration, are
setts and single pieces of plain, solid, unorna
mented silver, burnished like mirrors, and claim
ing equal admiration by their perfectness of finish
and grace of shape.
Tbo modern demand for silver-ware for the
single purpose of wedding-gifut has taxed oar
jewelers to the utmost, to proi'ido a constant
variety of articles great and small, and it
is amazing to those who remember the
sober. substantial and limited tea-sets
of their grandmothers to see the
choice that is now offered to the
seeker after bridal presents. There is a spoon, a
fork, a ladle, a dish, a bowl, a cup, an instrument
, or a vessel of Rome kind, for every possible use
that human ingenuity can devise. Itach of these
has its distinctive shape.pat tern and ornament.
In this "Curiosity Shop "of Messrs. Caldwell clb
CO., a silver oystershell will be found upon the
handle of one ladle, a terrapin upon another,
a hen on her nest suggests poached eggs, , while
- a lobster perches on the - bread bead of a salad
spoon. Cupids and Caryatides; wild animals
and wild flowers, lend their aid, each in its right
place, to bewilder those already bewildered, bat
well-disposed men and women who are always
at their wit's ends to know what they shall get
for "dear Julia," or for "Bob's bride."
It is gratifying to us as Philadelphians to note
the rapid advances which out leading houses in
all branches of , manufacture are making in the
quality and extent of their goods. There Is nq ,
longer any excuse for going to New York to
make purchases of elegant articles of any. kind:
There is a growing spirit of enterprise
and of proper business emulation
which Is rapidly placing Philadelphia where she
ought to have bean long ago, at the head of all
American manufacturing interests. In many
particular articles, we already hold that position,
and constant progress is still being made. It is
on this account that we take pleasure in call
ing public attention to such a stock
of silverware, as we have just-referred to. The
well-known courtesies of the house warrant us
in suggesting to all who have a taste for beautiful
wares, even If they have no purchasing designs,
to drop in and take a look at what our Philadel
phia stores can now offer in this department of
business.

$215,000 in specie. The statement of the public
debt dated the Ist inst. shows that the Treasury
then held $92,570,901 in coin, being $9,160.984
more than at the beginning of August; and as
this has led to an exaggerated idea of the amount
of gold actually owned by the Government
it is necessary to explain that only about $60,-
000,000 belongs to the latter. Thils there were
at the beginning of the present month $2.5,161,-
620 of gold certificates of deposit outstanding,
and these represent so much gold, the property
of individuals and corporations in the Treasury.
Then again the September interest on the ten
forty loan, aggregating about $5,537,000 has to
be ' deducted from' the total in the statement,
in addition to $256,000 of matured,
Texas indemnity bonds and $1,258,200 of the
overdue bonds of 1847 and 1848, which are liable
to'be presented for payment at any time, Hence
the gold in the ownership of the government is
reduced to $60,358,081 without counting the ac
crued interest on the overdue bonds. The same
statement shows that the amount of the public
debt, less the ant the Treasury, increased
$12,079,823 in .the Month 'of August, and
$9,667,529 without taking the coin and
currency balance in the department
into consideration; but 'it ' must be
remembered that this increase is mainly
owing to the payment of $7,200,000 in coin to
the Russian Government an account of Alaska,
and to the issue of $3,104,000 of new bonds to
the Pacific Railway companies, both of which
items enter. into 'the present statement. The
most noticeable feature of the latter, however, is
the increase of $8,119,950 in the amount of five
twenty bonds outstanding, in the face of ,a reduc
tion of only $3,783,800 in the 7-30 notes. This is
owing to the fact that the Treasury sold early in
August, when its currency balance was running
low and the time for converting seven thirty
notes into bonds had expired, five-twenties of
the old issue of 1865 for the purpose of raising
the currency necessary to •redeem the notes with,
but as these eales are limited by law to the
amount of the seven-thirty notes redeemed in
currency there is no reason to fear any
further considerable issues, as the amount
of seven-thirties unredeemed on the
Ist instant was only $4,650,000.
Government securities were lightly dealt in
during the early part of the day, and prices re
mained steady; but at the noon call the bears
showed a disposition to renew their "short"
eales,and in the absence of support from the bulls
a fractional decline took place. Late In the after
noon the pressure to sell "short" stock increased,
and prices, although they had Improved on the
half-past two call, were suffered to yield by the
bulls without resistance.
Money continues very abundant, and loans are
made freely on satisfactory collatcrals at four per
cent., while the leading dealers in government
securities are enabled to borrow largely at three.
In exceptional cases transactions where small
amounts are involved on the pledge of miscella
neous stocks are reported at five.
The New York Evening Poet,referring to the last
statement of the public debt, says: "There is an
apparent increase in the total debt, after deduct
ing the cash in the Treasury, of $12,079,832. But
of this $7,500,000 have been paid in coin during
the month for the territory purchased from Rus
sia; and $3,104,000 consist of bonds issued to the
Pacific railroads, for which the United States hold
a mortgage on those roads,and which will doubt
less be paid by the companies themselves. Apart
trom these items, the nominal increase is
$1 475,832.
"No account is given in Mr. McCulloch'e
statements of the interest on the debt. There
are always large amounts of interest due but not
yet paid; and still larger amounts accrued but not
yet due. When the Secretary of the Treasury
stall include these amounts in his returns, they
will be of SOMA value as a guide to the move
ments of his Department, but not till then.
"The annual interest on the debt amounts to
about $126,000,000. or $10,500,000 each month.
But in some months the payments on account of
interest exceed $15,000,000; in others they fall
short of half that sum. If the payments of in
terest during the month of August have reached
$12,000,000, or $1,500,000 more than the interest
upon the debt for the month, the statement is
satisfactory; and it is shown that the current re
ceipts from internal revenue, under our reduced
taxes, are sufficient, with the customs duties, to
meet the wants of the government. But if the
interest paid daring August was much less than
$12,000,000 the statement of the debt for Septem
ber shows that the present revenue laws are not
quite productive enough.
"No man but the Secretary of the Treasury
can decide this question. He is required by law
to give a statement of the public debt at regular
intervals ; instead of doing so, he gives a
statement of only a part of that debt. In order
to get from him a report that will be of value, it
seems that Congress will have to instruct him
explicitly, that when the law says he shall pub
lish the facts on this subject, it means all the
facts, and not some of them only."

recent, order in council, the British Government
_
has decided that the merchant ships of the
United States of America, the measurement
whereof, shall, after the first of January'
1868, have been ascertained and denoted
in the registers and other national papers
of such ships, testified by the dates thereof,
shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in
such registers or other national papers In the
same manner, and to the same extent, and for
same purpose, Into and for which the tonnage
denoted in the certificate of registry of British
ships isdeemed to be the tonnage of such ships,
after making therefrom•the same deductions in
respect of the crew, space and engine room as
would if such ships were British be made from
their gross tonnage, under the laws relating to
British ships. It is proper that similar courtesy
should be extended so far as possible to British
vessels in the United States. It is accord
ingly directed that British vessels
whose registers indicate their ton
nage under the present British law, shall be
taken in ports of the United States, to be the
tonnage so expressed in their documents, with
the addition of the amount of the deductions
made under British law, not authorized by the
admeasuremant law of the United States.
Usually the gras tonnage may be ascertained
from the register.
In such cases the vessel will be entirely ex
empt from admeasurement. If the gross ton•
nage is not indicated by the register, it may be
necessary to measure the spaces appropriated to
the crew and engines below the upper deck,
whose capacity has been deducted under the
British law, but admeasurement will be
made only when and to such an extent
as is absolutely necessary. Fees will be charged
only for the service actually rendered, and no
more. Officials will remember that spaces ap
propriated to engines above the upper deck
to the hall are, by United States laws, as well
as by British, exempt from admeasurement
for tonnage. HUGH McCumocn,

A Curious Interview with the Doctor
oY the Chinese Embitssy—Avnericatt
ketnale Physicians to be Admitted
Into China.
[From tho Boston Advert.leer, Interpreter Teh,
The writer, through the interpreter, Teh, had a
conversation with the physician of the Chinese
Embassy, Dr. TBO, when in Boston, principally
for the purpose of learning whether,if an educa
ted female physician should be sent out from this
country, she would be favorably received. With
regard to the present connection of women with
the profession there, the Doctor stated that the
practice of mid-wifery was wholly in their hands;
that they were not taught the art in any
schools, but had books on the subject to
read. This statement agrees. with other au
thorities. For example, Dr. William Lock
hart, an English missionary physician,
after twenty years practice in China, in a work
published In 1861 says, In alluding to this depart
ment of the profession : "The practice is in Cbina
left entirely to women." It may be observed, in
passing, that tho Chinese race does not appear to
have run out in consequence. Teh remarked that
when the empresses (wives of the emperor) were
attended by physicians in case of sickness, the
doctor was not allowed to see or touch the patient;
a string was tied around her wrist, and she sat on
one sire of a window while the doctor sat on the
other and ascertained the state of the pulse by
holding the string between his thumb and finger.
Among the common people he said the doctor
could feel the woman's pulse and see her tongue.
In reply to the question as to sending out an ed
ucated 'female physician to teach their women
the medical art, ana to practice, the - doctor ex
pressed his approval of the idea, without qualifi
cation. The interpreter, for himself, said that it
would be a very good plan, and it would receive
encouragement from the government officials.
The other interpreter, Fnng, coming into the
room at that moment, and having the proposi
tion stated to him, said "Good,very good." Teh,
being asked If he would not bear in mind this
interview, and when the lady came out give
her all the encouragement he could, said "Yes,
yes, certainly."
The writer had previously conferred with Mr.
Burlingame, who expressed his decided approval
of the plan of sending out a medically educated
woman to Pekin and his readiness to do what he
could io insure the success of her mission. There
is every reason to believe that a doctress of the
right stamp would be a popular personage among
all classes, and especially In the higher grades of
society. She would be welcomed to the private
apartments of the Empresses, while the doctor
sat outside holding the string and asking ques
tions through a third person. It may here be
stated, for the information of any interested, that
the Missionary Boards are ready to send out fe
male missionary physicians to Pekin and other
stations as soon as the right ones are ready to go.
