D.,- has been elected assistant bishop of the Episcopal Dio? cese of- Maryland, of which Bishop Whitting? ham is bishop. For some time the question of electing an assistant bishop has been <<rged upon the attention of Episcopalians of Mary? land by the Increasing infirmities und ill-health of Bishop Whittingham, which have rendered it necessary for him at times to call in thc aid of bishops of other States to assist him in the performances of his Episcopal duties.

In the first Instance charges of malversation against some of the managers, ' and heavy losses to the concern were made, and invesiigated by the book committee. Tim lnVestigatlon resulted in a report from the ma? jority exonerating the managers and declaring the losses trivial and easily accounted for. A. minority report, sustaining the charges, was also sub mi tied ; hut as it seemed to be accepted by press and public, all but the official organs of ihe denomination, a' new feature has been Introduced In the case, in the impeachment and trial of Dr. La?aban, the junior book agent, who first discovered the "Irregu? larities" and preferred the charges. A sufficient number of the committee to make lt 'official * signed a telegraphic call for a meeting or the whole Book Commit? tee in New York, and on Thursday Jhe session began. The proceedings are secret, but lt ls understood that Dr. Lanahan'ls on his trial for bringing a scandal upon the church, with* five charges and numerous specifications preferred against him In support of this accusation. Whether this means of preventing scandal wil l prove efficacious remains to be seen, bfft it ls 'considered certain that the offending agent ls to be suspended, pending his trial, which will result in his expulsion should the charges against him be sustained. It ls stated that a majority of the bishops and of the denomina? tion at large are on the side of Dr. Lanahan, and it ls equally for the good of the denomina? tion and the public interest that the whole matter should have a final and equitable set? tlement. -A Washington dispatch, of Friday, says : "A.trick was played upon the House to-day by Mr. Cessna, from the Committee of Elections, who' had charge of the case of Wallace vs. Simpson, contested election for representative tciop the fourth district of South Carolina. The ' "indications when this case was called up be? fore were that the opposition from members of both parties to the admission of either can? didate would be strong. Simpson was ineligible under the Fourteenth amendaient to the con slit ti tl ou, but he received the highest number I of votes, and the committee reported that Wallace ( Republican)) having received the next highest tote is entitled to the seat. Mr. Dawes, Mr. Paine, and others of the Republi? can 6ide, and the Democrats generally, argued that t'i? House had repeatedly de? cided that the. disqualification of a candi? date receiving a majority of the votes did not entitle the one receiving the next highest vote to a seat. Notwithstanding this general opposition to giving the scat to Wallace, Mr. Cessna, Just after the House convened, and while members were in some con? fusion and .?not paying attention, passed up and had read at the Speaker's desk a res? olution declaring Wallace entitled to the seat. The vote was put, and a few voices-an? swered In the affirmative-none in the nega? tive-and Mr. Cessna obtained leave to make a statement setting forth the facts of the case as found in the report. This arrested the atten? tion of the members of the House, and quite a hub-bub was created on account of the sort of snap-Judgment that had been taken while the members were unaware of what was going on, but it was too late, and Slr. Wallace was sworn in." The Outstanding Issues of the Bank of the Stute of South Carolina. As connected with the late important de? cision of Judj&rCarpenter, relative to the bills of the B?fck of the State of South Caro? lina, and a3 foreshadowing the possible, we may say the probable, effect of that decision upon the early and final settlement of those issues of the Bank, we propose to call atten? tion to the case of Furnian vs. Nichol, lately decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, and involving the rights of the lull holders of the Bank of the State of Ten? nessee. In 1838 the State of Tennessee chartered a bank in the name and for thc benefit of the State, and pledged the faith and credit of the State to its support It was further provided by the charter " that the bills or " notes of thc said corporation originally " made payable, or which shall have become " payable, on demand in gold or silver coin, " shall be receivable at the treasury of the " State, and by all . x-collectors and other "public officers, i.? all payments for taxes " and oilier moneys due the State." By the new code of the State of Tennessee, it was provided that tax-collectors should receive in payment of taxes only such bank notes as are current at par. On the 3d August, 1866, Furman tendered to Nichol, a public officer, in payment of taxes, certain bills of the Bank of Ten? nessee, issued prior to May, 1861. The bills liaving been refused, Furman applied for a mandamus, requiring that officer to accept them. The petition for the mandamus did not show when the bills came into the hands of Furman. The Supreme Court of Tennessee refused the mandamus, and the petitioner appealed ' i the Supreme Court of the United States. In this court it was held that: 1. The section of the charter of the bauk above quoted was a contract in the nature of a guarantee between the State and the holders of the notes of the bank, and that it was not in the constitutional power of the Legislature t'j repeal the section, so as to affect the notes which at the time were in circulation. 2. That thi3 guarantee is not restricted to the person *vho receives the hill from the bank, but attaches to th" note and yoes with it everywhere, and invites every one having taxes to pay to take it, aud obliges the State to receive it in payment of taxes. 3. That this contract was not repealed by the new code of the State of Tennessee,, and that the court does not favor the repeal of charter privileges by mere implication. The Supreme Court accordiugly awarded to the billholders the writ of mandamus, requiring the tax-collector to take the bills in payment of taxc3. It appears that soon after the daffrof issue (1361) of the bills in question, a disruption or the government of Tennessee took place; one portion of it maintaining its relations to the Federal Government, and cluimuig to be the government-another portion of it mak? ing the same claim, and taking refuge within the Confederate line3. This latter fraction, to which the Supreme Court of the United States applies thc term "insurgents," got possession of, and took with it in its retreat, the assets of "TheBauk of the Stale of Ten " nessee," and, it is alleged, continued-tho issue of bills in the name of that bank with in the territory of the Confederacy. A3 to the bills issued under 'these circumstances, the court declines the expression of an opin? ion ; a reticence which is' not of much conse queuce to the holders ol bills of the Bauk of the State of South Caroliua, inasmuch as that Bank wa3 never placed in similar cir? cumstances, and the late decision of Judge Carpenter has established that its bills issued after December, I860, are on the legal foot? ing of those issued before that date. The bearing of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon the entire settlement of this vexed case of tho Bank of the State of South Carolina, lies in the fact that the clause of the charter of the Bauk of the State of Tennessee, under considera? tion, is identical with, and evidently a copy of, a section of the charter of the Bank of the Stale of South Carolina, and although the late Appeal Court of this State took an op? posite view of the law, the subsequent action of the Mipreme Court of the United States gives io tue billholders of thc Bank of the State of Sou'h Caroliua ample redress under the mandamus of the highest judicial tri bunal of the country. Inasmuch as a large proportion of i Im bills of the Bank of the State of South Carolina have been absorbed by the issue of bonds under the act of ISO'S, and as the bills issued in 1863 aud 1861 will be subject to be heavily scaled, the gross amount outstrnding of this State li? ability canuot be very great ; but it will be interesting to our readers to know the course pursued by the State bf Tennessee in cir? cumstances similar to those in which this State may be placed. Upon the publication of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Furman vs. Nichol, the Legislature of Tennessee promptly met its obligations, by enacting that the tax collectors of the State should receive the bills declared to be valid iu payment of taxes, and repealed its statutes containing contrary provisions. To prevent, however, the em? barrassment which would ari3e from the ne? cessity of meeting this indebtedness at one time (amounting to S3,500,OOO,) and with a view of distributing the payment or the bills over a series of years, it has been provided llift the bills so received shall be reissued and used as currency; upon each reissued bill one-fourth of the par value of the bill is declared, by a stamp upon its face, to nave been paid. By this wise measure, the State of Tennessee obtains an extension of four years upon its debt, and the bdlholder se? cures his end without injury to the public linancea._ Taken thc Back Track. Senator Cain, a Methodist minister and editor of the Missionary Record, gives his Radical brethren, an exquisite example of what is usually called "ground and lofty tumbling." Only a week ago, Senator Cain denounced, with the energy of injured innocence, the corruption of the Radical leaders- and the manifold vices and follies of the Columbia Ring. Nor was this any new outburst on the part of this political parson. During tiie last session of the Legislature he exhort? ed the sinners to repent, and warned the party that the Sirocco would come in the heats of the dawning summer. The Reve? rend Senator seemed to be thoroughly in earnest, and he almost convinced the honest people of the State that he intended to pass a sponge over the record, and keep a clean slate for the future. But this fit of political piety has come to an untimely end. In the Missionary Record of Saturday, Senator Cain flings to the breeze the name of Robert K. Scott as his nominee for Governor for 1871, and urges all the people to rally on the side of him who has "for two years guided the destinies of " this State with an unswerving hand, and " has at all times sought to subserve the " interest of thewh- '*? people." The "evi " dent honesty " 01 Governor Scott is held up to public commendation, while his "le " niency" and "justice" are exalted to the skies. This, it will be admitted, is a very sudden conversion, and we are curious to know whether it was effected by a vermillion edict or a green-back ukase, a " fat office" or the "lifting of a mortgage "-which, unless ru? mor be altogether wrong, has been "lifted" more than once before. It will all leak out? In a little while we may hope to know the fee paid the senatorial acrobat for this last proof of his astonishing political agility. ' The Roll of Honor.

Let those six counties bc represented iu the June Convention, and the chosen spokesmen of the whole State, will determine, for the whole State, what is the best and wisest course for our people to pursue. The Signers of thc Sampson Bond. We have received from our Columbia cor? respondent a full statement of thc reasons which led liim to believe, and to telegraph to THE NEWS, thal Governor Scott and Gen? eral Siolbrand were the bondsmen of Samp? son, the forger. The whole matter was en? shrouded in impenetrable secresy; all offi? cial information as to thc signers of thc bond waa refused alike to journalists and private individuals; it was rumored-and generally believed-that Governor Scott had gone on the bond; arid, linally, our corres? pondent had what appeared to bo unques? tionable information that Scott and Stol brand were the bondsmen. Thal informa? tion, although 3ince proved 4o be ? was of a character to command the confidence and trust of the most prudent and most cautious man. Not a shadow of blame rests upon our cor? respondent, and we cannot condemn too warmly the malicious spirit which has prompted the assertion that currency was given by our correspondent, and by THE NEWS, to a statement known to be false. Ail our information on the subject came from our.Colurabia correspondent, for whose rec? titude and scrupulous fair-dealing this paper holds itself at all time3 responsible. , ,, ^ , , * THE "Republican Party" of Georgetown County, in mass meeting assembled, adopt? ed resolutions declaring that Whittemore is no longer worthy of thc support of tho Re? publican party; that the action of Congress was just, and, that to support Whittemore is to justify the assertiou that the colored peo? ple are unfit to exercise, intelligently, the right'of suffrage. THE Augusta Constitutionalist very kindly wishes Hie South Carolina Reformers " bet " ter luck than thc Richmond (Va.) Rcform " ers have had." We shall be perfectly well satisfied if the Reform movement gives South Carolina what the Conservative movemcut gave Richmond and all Virginia-an honest uud able Executive like Gilbert C.- Walker. THU New York Sun gets off the following : 11 When General Grant was told that the Re? publican party in New York was dead, he would have made the same reply that Anaxago? ras did when informed that his eon had died, ' I never supposed 1 had begotten an immor? tal,' if he had studied Greek. But in his un classicul way he answered quite as well as the stoic did. He shut one eye and blew a mouth? ful of cigar smoke In a thin stream up to tho ceiling. Translated, il said : 1 Parties are dreadfully, short-lived. There is nolhing en? during but Havana cigars. Let us smoke." " {Danto. WANTED, A RESPECTABLE COLOR? ED Woman, aa a Child's Norse.
