A FRIEND of ours suggests the propriety of having the several crowds of idlers congregating in front of the Opera ITonse and at the corners of the streets photographed and sent abroad as a stereoscopic view of a very delectable and enterprising class in our midst. He is of opinion that it would have a tendency to encourage emigration to Terre Haute.

DAUINO ROBBERY.—The house of Mr. Geo. C. Day, at Strawberry Hill, was robbed last night of quite a quantity of silverware, by some enterprising thieves whose tracks indicate them to be a boy and man, and the supposition is that the boy was concealed in the house before night.

No arrests have been made and no clue has been found by which to trace the villains up and effect their capture,

To the, Editor of Terre Haute Gazette The last Saturday's Mail, and Express oi Monday, both say "West Mulberry street people" want the street graded. It is all a mistake.

Ho is, of eourso, thoroughly Democratic, and will doubtless constitute the committees and act generally to the satisfaction of his Democratic friends. His remarks on taking the chair were to the point, and excellent, and indicate him a good speaker and a man of ability."—Correspondence Wabash Republican.

Tiic Opinions of the Bishops. The following is the card of the Bishops to the Book Committee on their relations to the case: To the Booh Committee of the Methodist

Episcopal Church:

DKAR BRETHREN In our relations to the Committee we desire to act on all questions with the utmost frankness and courtesy. Heretofore we have not been consulted by your body as to the questions involved in this investigation. Of this we do not complain, but it seems to us a point has now been reached when courtesy to the committee, as well as a due regard to our own responsibilities in the premises, require us to make the following statements: 1. In meeting with the Committee at their request to act concurrently with them in this investigation, we must not be understood as sharing in any sense, or to any extent, the responsibility of receiving or entertaining charges against an editor or agent, prepared or presented as these have been. Yet as these charges have been received or entertained by the Committee, we consider it to be a duty to proceed with them in the investigation. 2. We can not act as a concurrent au4feority in any investiation, except as to the oliicial conduct of our editor or agent. The agents and the editors, if traveling preachers, are amenable for their moral and ministerial conduct to the same ecclesiastical authorities as are other members of tlte Church. They are members of the annual conferences, and are thus placed under the jurisdiction of the presiding elder in the interval of the Annual Conference as Bishops. We can not consider and give official decisions upon such matters as come properly under the jurisdiction of annual conferences when in session, or, if presiding elder, in the interval of said Conference. 3. It has long been a rule in our judicial administration not to allow third parties to prefer charges of slander or slanderous utterances and this administration has never been excepted to by the General Conference. We must abide by this rule in this investigation, so tar as'veareconcerned.

We do not judge it proper for us to consider the general fitness or unfitness for the office of any man appointed by the General Conference as editor or agent, unless the cause of such alleged unfitness has occurred since his election. As provided iu the discipline, we. may, in given contingencies, pass upon official conduct, but not upbn general fitness for otfflce, except as above. M. SIMPPON,"~E. 8.JAMES, .. .8.
