A Christian bishop, located in the south of Africa, for the specific purpose of converting the heathen there, suffered himself to be misled into doubts and disbelief of that revealed Word, th« Holy Bible, and ostentatiously published his doubt and disbelief, misapplying his great learning and high intellectual faculties to "make the attorney at law, grocers, 103 Murray, near West Street, mark McDonnell [A Lady in New Jersey who had written the following reply to the poem from the Atlantic Monthly entitled "The Blue and the Gray" (published in our October paper), wrote us a complimentary note on Mr. Dalzell's poem in the December numberof our paper.

Thi. gentleman, however, took advioe from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the JBiihop of 0*ford, and was informed, ai the result of their inquiry into the « election I. That the electiDg clergy were a decided minority of the clergy of the diocea*. II. That an equal number voted for and against the proceeding to an election. III. That though a large majority of the 1*7 communicant* present voted for the election, yet they amounted only to 19." On further inquiry, the two Knglish prelate* ratker thought that Mr. Butler - had been duly elected and chosen by a large majority ot the clergy abd lay communicants." Still, there having be«n a doubt, Mr. Butler prudently declined to acoept the proffered Aiitre. But the Natal bishop-makers had voted that, should their man's election not stand good, they would accept as their bishop, vice Coleuso, any clergyman elected by Dr. Gray, bishop of Capetown, and Dr. Cotterill, bishop of Qrahamitown (both Seea being in South Africa), with the concurrence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. In a letter from the Bishop of Capetown, dated January 13, and published in the London newspapers, it is stated that" the person chosen for this difficult post is the Bev. W. K. Macrorie, M. A., of Braaenose College, Oxford, formerly a master ol Radley College, afterward incumbent of Wapping, and sinee presented to the living of St. James', Acorington, by the Hulme trustees. The place and time for the consecration have not yet been definitely fixed." The Bishop of London lately declared, in the moat public manner, " that it is not the duty of the diocese of Natal to proceed to elect, nor of the Metropolitan and his co-provincials to consecrate, a new bishop, till Bishop Colenso has been lawfully deposed, which, I believe, he has not been." Accordingly the Archbishop of Canterbury will not consecrate Mr. Macrorie as Bishop of Natal (though the Bishop of Capetown insinuates that his * election " has the Archbishop's approval), and here arises a new difficulty, which the Times thus satirically meets: qentral hotel, Whin is iron the most ironical ?

"Democracy is a religion in itself, drawing its inspiration from Mm fountains of Truth, Right and Justice. Hence, to be a Democrat is to be a good man—a lover of good government, the friend of a fraternal onion, the champion of law and order, the advocate of peace. It is asserted often that the Democratic party was organised in 1800, and came into power the following year. This is a mistake. Jefferson waa not the author, bat the promoter of Democracy. The glorioas and unconquerable principles of Trnth and Right upon which it is based had their birth centuries before God sent his second son to America. Christ was the first Democrat, and his twelve white Apostles the first converts to Democracy 1 The Democratic creed is spread upon every page of sacred, moral and natural history. It is the sister of Masonry, going hand in hand, to plant the seed of fraternity and good will among men! It is the champion of the rights of the many egai«et the tyranny and power of the few. So Was Christ! It is the friend of the poor and oppressed, and sympathises with the weak and powerless. So did Christ! It seeks to build up, not to tear down. This was Christ's mission 1 It asks justioe for all men, and equality among the brotherhood. So did Christ! Its mission is tor the salvation of the vkiU raoe.

But on the voyage between England and South Africa lies the island of St. Helena, where there exists another bishop, under Dr. Gray's metropolitan jurisdiction.

"Lincoln and Davis were the chieftains 6f contending principles and communities. The first was the head of the Federalists element, the other of State Sovereign Democracy. By the power of numbers, the one triumphed and the other fell,*o far as principles may be said to fall by the defeat of armies. The one was an unsettled, shifting, vulgar, rollicking man—the other serious, grave, dignified and determined. The one was a Plebeian by nature—the other a nobleman. As between these contestants as men, the rise and fall of armies has done little else than to bring them out into stronger contrast. The triumphant party is now dead—he fills the grave of an unwept tyrant, and will be execrated the more as the wheels of time roll on, fanning the chaff from the wheat. Lincoln cared nothing for the triumph of principle—he was satisfied with the din and clash of the hour. And so, at the sacrifice of principle and the nation's honor in an hundred ways, he triumphod over his opponent. What are the results secured by tbat bloody triumph ? What questions are settled ? The States are further from union now than ever—the people are bound under a monstrous load of oppressions and tyrannies, and are at last, and not unexpectedly, cursing the being whose triumph was their ruin! How stands his opponent? Bowed with the sorrows of his people, he may still stand erect over the grave of his dead foe, and exclaim, 'Shake not your gory locks at me; thou didst it!' Had Jefferson Davis sacrificed those principles upon which his people went into the struggle, the arrogant North, and not the South, would be the stricken land. Had Jefferson Davis departed from his determined 'defensive warfare"—had he enlisted the slaves of the South in his armies, under the flag of emancipation in '62, the North would have been a smoking slaughterpen! But the banner of his people had been thrown to the breese, and under its waving folds he and his people fell together in a Spartan embrace! History will yet vindicate the truth, and Jefferson Davis, the statesman,scholar and hero, will outlive an hundred Lincolns on those pages of his country's history where are enrolled the names of the peerless and true, the noble and self sacrificing!"

Good gracious," how wet you are—positively dripping!" In The Times of January 25 appeared a firm letter, written threedaya before,from the Archbishop of York to the Bishop of Capetown, in which his Grace puts a couple of significant questions; first, Was tbe Bishep of Natal rightly and canonically deprived (or deposed ); and, secondly, whether, under all the circumstances, the conseeration of Mr. Macrorie as his successor can lawfully take place 7 Bishop Colenso Regularly receives the stipend ($1,000 a year) of the Bishoprie of Natal, the Colonial Bishopric's Council paying it to him, in compliance with .the deciaion of the Privy Council and the judgment of the Maater of the Rolla.— The royal authority is insufficient, it seems, to oust Dr. Colenso, either by common or canon law, but a rival bishop thinks he can do it— Therefore, the Archbishop of York, believing that one clergyman cannot legally become bishop of a See actually ocoupied by another, distinctly declarea that no conaecration of Mr. Macrorie ahall take place in his province. The result of this remonstrance is that tbe Bishop of Capetown has "caved in." After the protest of the Bishop of London, an usurping Bishop of Natal is not likely to be consecrated in the province of Canterbury, and, as we have shown, he will obtain no locus standi in the province of York. So, notice has been given to the Bishop of London " that the intention of consecrating a Bishop for Natal in England is abandoned."— There may be behind this the purpose of trying it on in Scotland.
