The New York Church ,Fourual says it speak* by authority in announcing that the course to be pursueij in t})e approaching General Convention of the Episcopal Church will be to call the full roll of the dioceses, and "if'any or all of the Southern Biohops or dioceses choose to be present, they will only need to iimiu in mci-r names ana incir credentials, nn swer to their nnm<-s, and lake their seats, as of ol<l time, without doubt, question or coudi- tion of any sort whatever." Tiie BusIod Jourxc/'tluiikB if the views of Bishop Wilmir, of the diocer.c of Alabama prevail, no Southern delegates will present themselves for admission, even on these easy terms In a rescript, of June 20, to the.clergy nnd laity of his diycese, he tells them that "the lapse of the Confederate Government docs not necessarily involve the disorganization of the Genprnl Council of the Church within the limits of tLat Govcrnrae/it." Two church organizations ma}' cxwt under one government, as is the case iu Great Britain, where the'Church in England and the Church in Scotland exist as distinct organizations under one civil government Therefore -no chnrge of schism ciin justly lie ngainst the XJImr^h in the Southern States, in caau she should see fit to perpetuate herself through a separate organizatioii.

' NORTHERN POLITICAL CONVENTIONS. While President Johnson, through tlie Provisonnl Governor*, is endeavoring to quietly yet efTvCtunlly readjust tho machinery of the respective State Ooverntnents in the Efouth, .lie politionns in the Northern States are holding their conventions and. quarreling over the plaiforms which they shall erect for thair oan didatfs to stand upon. The policy of the President is. in most instances, working harinon ously, and bringing tibout the desired results ; but tho politicians in the Nortli are not all so fortunate in (heir schemes here. -. The radical wiDg of the Republican party, which eat out under Chief Justice Chasv in a vuiu iiivuiiiio uu>. uuijr ku cuuirm me I'reaident and the reorjfanization of the Southern States, but also the politic* ol the North, are being *ndly defeated in almost every instance, j The> have befcn unable to ttvretve the PresiI dent from his fixed policy, and in all '.be con- ventions yet held they have only, found two which 'would givfe tlieir radical resolves even the respect of consideration, and only one that I would in the least endorse them. The Republicans of Ohio led off in holding their State Convention. It convened just at ( the time when the agitation in regard to negro suffrage «*ns at its height, and when it was generally supposed (he Radicals had euflli-ient strength to dir. ct the action of the party in many of the States. But the returned vete- rans oMaiued control of that gathering, and kept the radicals in the background. They secured their own platform and nominated one of their own leaders fo«- Gpvernor. The Jacobins then dutig to the nominee.Gtu. Cvx .declaring that be was sound oo their creed, ami was all the platform they desired. But lie soon cams out .and repudiated them, and in a clear and logically prepared letter proved that their doctrines were untenable and their dogmas a mere bundle of heresies. Vermont was the next State to hold its convention, an'l there the docirinci of the Chafe fraction were passed over in sileuce. Thnt'State has always been considered one of Hie most radical in the Union, and wus never known to give tilt; Democrats sufficient ahow lo furnisli jevidtneo, that there were any such being* in the State. The policy of Mr, Johnson was thoroughly endorsed, and the people of the State pleuged to its support in iie execution. Th* ltepubli cans of New Jersey were the next to hold thoir Stale Convention, and there, after extra ordinary efforts, resolutions wero iniroduc«d containing a long- rigmarole about the equality ol the red men, black men, and white men, declaring that the Slacks of the South were i ... . cuiiucu iv iuvc. ojuv iiu person mui me mover of lliese resolutions took the trouble to ad-» vacate tbem. The result was that they were unceremoniously kick?<] under I lie table, not receiving as mnuy voles as thnre were resolu lions, while, on the olher baud, the convenlion was almost a unit in egdoraing, in the most emphatic manner, the course of the President.' The failure in these three States was not very encouraging to the Chase party, and indications were every where rannifost of their backing down io the priucipal central Stales. .1,1*1 of .I.;* .. ! ..... v. uiiy* <» » nj/jjeureu hi me Enstern horiz'Mi. - Th« .Hvpublicans It) iho State of Maine came to the relief of the Jacobius, and endorsed (bo social equality of races aud negro auflfra^'p, but were compelled to sugar coat it over with the preienco of en doisiug the policy of the President. This aci - J 1: . - v.i>» no=> luiumucu inn ibuicuh ray ot hope. bui will hardly amount to anything practically. The Republicans of PeinRylvani* hold thuir convention at llarrisburg this week. The politicians «f the party orj* deeply inter. esled in the struggle between Gov. Curtin and ex Secretary Cameron for the Senator*hip, which wilh, no doubts over ride ail other quejtiuijB. There ia, however, but little indicution that the radical doctrines will fare any better there limn they did in Ohio and New Jeney, which border on that State. Tl»e endorsement of llie pacification policy of the President may be considered as certain. This universal course of ihe Northern conven tionc, and the general disposition of the dominant party here not to force upon llie Southorh States a class of voters not udmitted to the privilege of the franchiso at home, will cireiigtuvu liio ouumcfn people and encourttge lliwin to work mora earnestly fur tli« success of llic adjustment programme of Mr. Johnson.

It is not tho old story of love and seduction. II is a case, thoucrli a'somewhat aggravated one we admit, of mod- em flirlaiioii. Mnny yeura ago, away out west, there was a little Irish girl, Mary Harris by name; she wu pretty, black eyed and r^ruish. She was poor; her parents were dead, and she lived with some .relatives who treated her kindly, and gave her such ad^an- tvges as they wero able. Preseutly she met a 5 young rann who luok a fancy to her fresh morning fy<e and short dresses, and ingrntia- I te himself into the good opinion of the old j"4 people, and vi»ited her often as a young man ' of two or three and twenty might visit a ehild ui twelve. no canea ner ins roBC buu ana hi* playmate, and his pusa in l>oota, we dare say. They toqk lenjg walks together, and sat l>y the river side whole 'day*, and read faiiy-tales. And so thev parted for a time. But our little Irish girl is poor, and is grow ing to womanhood, and has to do something for a living. She is scot, therefore, to a neighboring village, nud becomes salesmaid for a jolly old »hopke«per, who, afiera while, is very fond of her, for she is young, honest ond handsome One day she gets a letter. The young man with the browu moustache has not forgotten her, and wants still to be her dear, dear friend.

She wore a bit' of a gray cloak and a gipsey hat. She wan wrapped up iu her old bachelor, as she called liini, and would follow him to the end of the world. She snid bo, at least, and be believed h«*r, and begun to practise upou ln>r love and trust. But Irish virtue is an article of stubborn qnal ny, ana oiten acnes me Heroes', passion, in this case, at any rale, it did eo. .The' lover, failing to carry hid point, gradually grew tired of his little Mollie, after a flirtation of five T six years. Men very often, we fear, weary of their little Mollies through such a long seigc of ! vo, and if they have no mind to 'muk* them their little wives, mid nro not able to make them anything else, are auitc ready to give them over. The old bachelor, new (jetting into his thirties, was tired ; he wanted to marry somebody else ; he dtd not want to marry his little Mollie, so I19 gave her over. Vlie gave htr-over, gradually, however, by neglect and absence, and finally imirned another woman, and bow can you olfcnd a woman who luve3 you, more mortally than bjmarrying soma one else } She went to Washington.

"We give the following from that paper, and repeat the counsel to those desirious of voting to take the amnesty oath, and make themselves sure of the right of snf frnge, if they deem that privilege desirable : 'I, , solemnly that I hove care Fully rend the Anfnestv Proclamation issued oy Atiqrew juiiuson, rresident or Ilia United ' States of America, on May 29, .1806, and that I am not cxccntea from Lho benefits of that proclamation by ony one of the fourteen exceptions therein made, except "Sworn to," Ac. "I, . , of the County of . , and State of , do solemnly -- - -, in the presence of Almighty God, that 1 will hereafter faithfully support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the union of the States thereunder, and that I will in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all awn mm |iiuuioniai ions wmeli have been maile during the existing rebellion -with referent to the emaneipation of slaves. So help me God. "Sworn to," &c. corresponqexck. Gen. Hatch: Is it necessary, in order to qualify a voter, thnt he should have taken both of the within oaths? Many are umler the impression thnt the second is sufficient, although I lie $20,<>00 clause deprives nny of the right to vole except by procuring a special pardon. Respectfully, W. T. BENNETT. upon which Ucn. Hatch endorsed the following reply: "Respeeifully relumed. Tlii» form of oath is only ufted hy those applying for pardon." This official correspondence, wliich lias been kindly furnished us hy tf»e Provost Marshal, Maj. Steuhen, who directed tlie inquiries at our suggestion, will definiielv settle the Inst question which can he raised on to Ihe efficaoy of the amnesty oaih in establishing the light of suffrnge to each individual, and leads to Ihe following conclusions: l«t That the oath of amnesty, as prescribed by President Johnson, in bis proclamation of May 29, 18G5. of it<elf re eutablifches the right of citizenship, and entitles the party taking it to vote, provided he docs not come within any of the fourteen exceptions therein named. 2*1. That said oath entitles those who are within the excepted clnsics to vote, provided they have received special pardons from the President. 3d. That for the parpoee of obtaining.such pardon, it is necessary f<»r the applicant to take both the oaths above indicated.. 4tll. That the first Oiltli in nnltr nnn»oo«».»- 7. . J to parties who nro appltcunts for special pardon. Blh. Thnf, in any event it is always necessary that a party shall be a legal voter under the Constitution as it stood prior tn the secession of the Stute, before he will be untitled to vote at the ensuing election. Bhaziman Emigration,.Evidences are daily multipl3-iug going to prove that u large number of persona tli>onghout the South, who have participated in the rebellion, design expatrin- ling themselves for ffie purpose of finding a home in Brazil. Chief among the promoters of this Brazilian emigration scheme irt commander M. I'. Maury, who, it is said, has p -oourcd from the Emperor of Brazil, the grant of one thousand i:*<res of land to eaeli emigrant. In one respect Brazil afford* at least one feature congenial to ill* views, of Southern people.thut in slavery. But lcl»uff examine the Imais upon which die hopes of tho»e who n mi hi expatriate i ueinseivcs is loundetf. The (iovernment of Br.i7.il is a monarchical and <]i-3|>nli*c one. The laws lliat support the in Hliiuliun of sin very being the will of-the ruler inu3* any day l>e changed, and slavery disappear from Brazil ad it has from the other South Anr-riea nations, besides the negroes in Brozil arc not like the negrock in thu United States. If he is free he lias just as mau}' rights ad the European ; indeed, one of tit ministers of the Imperial Government* at the present time, is a nefjro, if we are rightly informed. Besides, suppose the Emperor was to grant a thousand nercs of land (o eaufc emigrant, could not the gifi be revoked very eoon if ttie sovereign doi-ircd it ! By what tenure would propel ty be held under such a grant? Could tfiero be a reasonable assurance of security in the posMirsion of real estate bo donated? Would there be any difference it; a country, other thing*, being the tame, when the negroes, if free, have equal chances. But there is a difference between Brazil and the .United States.a marked difference. Here the people partici. 1'uw ui mu government, 01 tue country, there they «io not; here the will of a majority of the people ie supreme, there the dictation of one innn controls. The advantages of Government. location, climate, and everything connected with a successful prosecution of agricultural pursuits, is greatly in faw>r.of the United States. Wliy, then,'do men wish to render their ioonditiou worse f I'erbaps their feeling of dislike to the successful Government of the United States has warped thoir belter judgment, It ut li&ve they n right to impose burdens upon their pos- leniyl llave they a right to "make a bed of thorns'1 for generation* yut unborn I We have an idea that we have a country onl y partially developed, bat which, when fully developed by induatfy and enterprise, will be far superior in every point of view to Brazil..Afcm. phit Ar-jut.

We would rpmind those who have . nottnkcii the Outh, of the necessity of doing so atonce. No <>ne will be allowed to vote whohi\n not tiikcn the Amnesty Oath proscribedby-President Johnson.

Jty delaying to the Inst, hour to bsqualified, some may lose the opportunity ofvoting. A more important election wijl neverbe held MMfcfeheville District, and we wouldurge upon the iutclliuont public the great r.e-cessn£ oi selecting j>r»per men to represent usin the Convention. We should not let partyor sectii nnj prejudices influence our votes..We want wise utid good inen who have thegood of the whole country at heart. L-t ossend those who Iinv6 ever aeled in good faithto these people, and it matters not about theparticular section in which the member maylive, so that ho is a wise and true man. TheState will, perhaps, be governed for agej bythe Constitution to be adopted by the comingvyinivenuon, ana u is oi va-it mlportance to usthat this Constitution be framed ia eucli amanner aa will brst promote the interests, prosperityand happiness of our people.
Tiik Emsoofat. CnuifcH North and South..The New York Church ,Fourual says it speak*by authority in announcing that the course tobe pursueij in t})e approaching General Conventionof the Episcopal Church will be tocall the full roll of the dioceses, and "if'anyor all of the Southern Biohops or dioceseschoose to be present, they will only need toiimiu in mci-r names ana incir credentials, nnswer to their nnm<-s, and lake their seats, asof ol<l time, without doubt, question or coudi-tion of any sort whatever."
Tiie BusIod Jourxc/'tluiikB if the views ofBishop Wilmir, of the diocer.c of Alabamaprevail, no Southern delegates will presentthemselves for admission, even on these easyterms In a rescript, of June 20, to the.clergynnd laity of his diycese, he tells them that"the lapse of the Confederate Governmentdocs not necessarily involve the disorganizationof the Genprnl Council of the Churchwithin the limits of tLat Govcrnrae/it." Twochurch organizations ma}' cxwt under one government,as is the case iu Great Britain, wherethe'Church in England and the Church inScotland exist as distinct organizations underone civil government Therefore -no chnrgeof schism ciin justly lie ngainst the XJImr^h inthe Southern States, in caau she should see fitto perpetuate herself through a separate organizatioii.Whether she shall do so remainsto be dccidcd by ecclesiastical authority.Editor Bulletin.Abbeville, S C : Believ-

NORTHERN POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.While President Johnson, through tlie ProvisonnlGovernor*, is endeavoring to quietlyyet efTvCtunlly readjust tho machinery of the
respective State Ooverntnents in the Efouth,.lie politionns in the Northern States are holdingtheir conventions and. quarreling over theplaiforms which they shall erect for thair oandidatfs to stand upon. The policy of thePresident is. in most instances, working harinonously, and bringing tibout the desiredresults ; but tho politicians in the Nortli arenot all so fortunate in (heir schemes here. -.The radical wiDg of the Republican party,which eat out under Chief Justice Chasv in avuiu iiivuiiiio uu>. uuijr ku cuuirm me I'reaidentand the reorjfanization of the SouthernStates, but also the politic* ol the North, arebeing *ndly defeated in almost every instance, jThe> have befcn unable to ttvretve the PresiIdent from his fixed policy, and in all '.be con-ventions yet held they have only, found twowhich 'would givfe tlieir radical resolves eventhe respect of consideration, and only one that Iwould in the least endorse them.The Republicans of Ohio led off in holdingtheir State Convention. It convened just at (the time when the agitation in regard to negrosuffrage «*ns at its height, and when it was
generally supposed (he Radicals had euflli-ientstrength to dir. ct the action of the party inmany of the States. But the returned vete-rans oMaiued control of that gathering, andkept the radicals in the background. Theysecured their own platform and nominated oneof their own leaders fo«- Gpvernor. The Jacobinsthen dutig to the nominee.Gtu. Cvx.declaring that be was sound oo their creed,ami was all the platform they desired. Butlie soon cams out .and repudiated them, and ina clear and logically prepared letter provedthat their doctrines were untenable and theirdogmas a mere bundle of heresies. Vermontwas the next State to hold its convention, an'lthere the docirinci of the Chafe fraction werepassed over in sileuce. Thnt'State has alwaysbeen considered one of Hie most radical in theUnion, and wus never known to give tilt;Democrats sufficient ahow lo furnisli jevidtneo,that there were any such being* in the State.The policy of Mr, Johnson was thoroughlyendorsed, and the people of the State pleugedto its support in iie execution.

THE WHOLE STOEY OF THEHARRISBURROUGHSTRIAL,The trial of a j-oung woman in the cap'talof the cauntry for shooting her lover, contains
many points of interest. It is not tho old storyof love and seduction. II is a case, thoucrlia'somewhat aggravated one we admit, of mod-em flirlaiioii. Mnny yeura ago, away outwest, there was a little Irish girl, Mary Harrisby name; she wu pretty, black eyed andr^ruish. She was poor; her parents weredead, and she lived with some .relatives whotreated her kindly, and gave her such ad^an-tvges as they wero able. Preseutly she met a 5young rann who luok a fancy to her freshmorning fy<e and short dresses, and ingrntia- Ite himself into the good opinion of the old j"4people, and vi»ited her often as a young man '
of two or three and twenty might visit a ehildui twelve. no canea ner ins roBC buu ana hi*playmate, and his pusa in l>oota, we dare say.They toqk lenjg walks together, and sat l>y theriver side whole 'day*, and read faiiy-tales.And so thev parted for a time.But our little Irish girl is poor, and is growing to womanhood, and has to do somethingfor a living. She is scot, therefore, to a neighboringvillage, nud becomes salesmaid for a
jolly old »hopke«per, who, afiera while, isvery fond of her, for she is young, honest ondhandsome One day she gets a letter. Theyoung man with the browu moustache has notforgotten her, and wants still to be her dear,dear friend.

Men very often, we fear, weary oftheir little Mollies through such a long seigcof ! vo, and if they have no mind to 'muk*them their little wives, mid nro not able tomake them anything else, are auitc ready togive them over. The old bachelor, new (jettinginto his thirties, was tired ; he wanted tomarry somebody else ; he dtd not want tomarry his little Mollie, so I19 gave her over.Vlie gave htr-over, gradually, however, byneglect and absence, and finally imirned anotherwoman, and bow can you olfcnd a womanwho luve3 you, more mortally than bjmarryingsoma one else }She went to Washington.

THE OA?klThe Charleston Courier reminds its readers
of the ontU before the election and what oathis necessary. "We give the following fromthat paper, and repeat the counsel to thosedesirious of voting to take the amnesty oath,and make themselves sure of the right of snffrnge, if they deem that privilege desirable :
'I, , solemnly that I hove careFully rend the Anfnestv Proclamation issuedoy Atiqrew juiiuson, rresident or Ilia United '
States of America, on May 29, .1806, and thatI am not cxccntea from Lho benefits of thatproclamation by ony one of the fourteen exceptionstherein made, except"Sworn to," Ac."I, . , of the County of . , andState of , do solemnly -- - -, in the
presence of Almighty God, that 1 will hereafterfaithfully support and defend the Constitutionof the United States, and the union ofthe States thereunder, and that I will in likemanner, abide by and faithfully support allawn mm |iiuuioniai ions wmeli have been maileduring the existing rebellion -with referent tothe emaneipation of slaves. So help me God."Sworn to," &c.
corresponqexck.Gen. Hatch: Is it necessary, in order to
qualify a voter, thnt he should have takenboth of the within oaths? Many are umlerthe impression thnt the second is sufficient,although I lie $20,<>00 clause deprives nny ofthe right to vole except by procuring a specialpardon. Respectfully,
W. T. BENNETT.upon which Ucn. Hatch endorsed the followingreply:"Respeeifully relumed. Tlii» form of oath
is only ufted hy those applying for pardon."This official correspondence, wliich lias beenkindly furnished us hy tf»e Provost Marshal,Maj. Steuhen, who directed tlie inquiries atour suggestion, will definiielv settle the Instquestion which can he raised on to Ihe efficaoyof the amnesty oaih in establishing the lightof suffrnge to each individual, and leads to Ihefollowing conclusions:
l«t That the oath of amnesty, as prescribedby President Johnson, in bis proclamation ofMay 29, 18G5. of it<elf re eutablifches the rightof citizenship, and entitles the party taking itto vote, provided he docs not come within anyof the fourteen exceptions therein named.
2*1. That said oath entitles those who arewithin the excepted clnsics to vote, providedthey have received special pardons from thePresident.
3d. That for the parpoee of obtaining.suchpardon, it is necessary f<»r the applicant to takeboth the oaths above indicated..
4tll. That the first Oiltli in nnltr nnn»oo«».»-7. . Jto parties who nro appltcunts for special pardon.
Blh. Thnf, in any event it is always necessarythat a party shall be a legal voter underthe Constitution as it stood prior tn the secessionof the Stute, before he will be untitled tovote at the ensuing election.
Bhaziman Emigration,.Evidences are dailymultipl3-iug going to prove that u large numberof persona tli>onghout the South, who haveparticipated in the rebellion, design expatrin-ling themselves for ffie purpose of finding ahome in Brazil.
