Now that the division of the Diocese of the Episcop;il Chu ch in the State of North Carolina has been finally decided upon, there may be readers of The Observe k who would like to know something of the history of the movement. The Diocese, as originally laid out, comprised the entire territory of the State, and for many years there have been many members of the church who thovght that the labor of Episco pal visitation annually was too great for any one Bishop. At least a decade ago that great and good man, the late Rt. Rv. Thomas Atkinson, found that he could not do the work, and the Rt. Rev. Thos. B. Lyman was elected as Assistant Bishop of th Liocesb In the year 1877, we believe, the btate invention being m Charlotte that the question of division was agitateu earnest, and the movement began for e first time to take form and shape. A reso lution was adopted at the convention that year to divide, provided it was ratified at the next convention. The convention in 1878 failed to ratify the action of the Charlotte convention a year previous, but left the matier still open. Quite a sentiment had grown up among the members of the church throughout the State that no matter what the Decessity, the Dio cese ought not to be divided during Bishop Atkinson's life-time, and so the question was dropped. This ven erable man of God died some time previous to the convention held in Charlotte last May, and this fact brought the matter up once more, not only for discussion, but for decision. The last convention adopted the following resolutions on this subject: Resolved, 1st, That the welfare of the church in North Carolina de mands the division of the Diocese. Resolved, 2nd, That the Diocese of North Carolina be divided into twd Dioceses by a line beginning on the Virginia line at the intersection of the northwestern line of the county of Northampton, aid following the west ern line of the same county of North ampton and of the counties of Hali fax, Nash, Wilson, Wayne, Sampson, Bladen and Columbus, and that the new Diocese be that portion lying of said line. Resolved, 3rd, That the deputies elected to the General convention from the Diocese of North Carolina An Interesting Acceunt of an Old Tim e Celebration Clipped irera a Paper Published Nearly Half a Cen tury Ago. The allusion made in print to the allege ancestry of Miss Hill, of Cali fornia, has revived the discussion of the authenticity of the Mecklenburg Decla ration of Independence. We herewith give an interesting paper bearing upon the subject front one of Mecklenburg's ablest and best informed citizens. For the Charlotte Observer. The Charlotte Journal of May 30, 1839, copies from the Western Caro linian, of Salisbury, the account of the celebration that year, a part of which I here transcribe for the Ob server. The testimony of that re nowned minister, the Rev. Dr. John Robinson, is decisive. A. W. M. From the Western Carolinian. TWENTIETH OF MAY, 1775. This day, memorable in the history of our State and country, and espe cially dear to the people of the coun ties of Mecklenburg and Cabarrus, was celebrated with great eclat and spirit by the citizens of the latter county, in the town of Concord, on the 20th inst. The day was as beautiful as could have been desired. At an early hour large crowds of the people were seen assembling and by 10 o'clock a vast concourse (not less than 3,000) had collected in the village. The procession, animated by fine military music, was marched to the stand (which had been beautifully decorated with wreaths and flowers) in the grove near the Presbyterian church. The ceremonies at that place were opened by a solemn, impressive and appropriate prayer from the Rev. James E. Morrison; after which, the reader ot tne day, the Rev. John-oK inson, D. D., wijkhfiTr effect, read manner, jepjorg Declaration of In lendence. The venerable gentle--man prefaced the reading of that instrument by a few interesting and patriotic remarks m which he spoke of his personal acquaintance with most of the signers of the Declaration, testified from his own knowledge to the particulars and truth of that event, and to the worth of its illus trious actors. The orator of the day, Col. D. M, Barring er, then rose and addressed this large and very attentive audience, in an able, interesting and very elo quent address, which met with bursts of applause from the audience. His address to the revolutionary patriots was especially affecting and eloquent, and delivered in a most imprtssive manner. At 2 o'clock, a large number of the citizens partook of a sumptuous ana HOOH TELEGRAMS BOTH SUNK. Two Steamers Collide, and Both to to the Bottom, Passengers and Crews Saved. London. Nov 1. a collision be tween the Holly had and Alhambra oc curred at 11 p. m. Tuesda . The night was mild and fairly clear. By some means the Alhambra got across the track of the Hollyhad. The lat ters engines were reversed when it was found that a collision was una voidable. The Alhambra was cut down to the waters edge. The Cap tain of the Hollyhad had lines thrown over the bows and lowered two boats. There was not the slightest panic on board. The boat saved twelve of the Alhambra's ere r, one man climbed over the bows. It was then discov ered that the Hollyhad was fast sink ing. Two more boats were lowered and the passengers and crew safely embarked, except the quartermaster and boy who were in the forecastle. In a few minutes the Hollyhad dis appeared and the boats pulled for Hollyhead. At 3 o'clock in the morn ing the wind freshened and the sea increased. The boats were kept afloat with the greatest difficulty and at 8 o'clock a schooner bore down and took all on board. The survivors are much distressed. An Easier Feeling in Liverpol. Liverpool, Nov. 1. There is an easier feeling in the cotton market. The general opinion is that the crisis has culminated aud that firms that have been considered financially em barrassed will be able to meet all de mands as they may become due. There is a better tone in the market. Morris Ranger' has filed a petition for liquidation by arrangement with his creditors. Tne LivertxuJ ork Raruzxcnange and was unfortunate there.

TRADE AND COLLEGE STS CAR LOAD SALT, IN WHITE SACKS be hereby instructed to take such ac tion as is necessary and proper to secure the consent of the General convention at its next meeting to the erection of the new Diocese afore said. Resolved 4th, That a committee of five be appointed to report to the next convention a just and equitable plan for a division of the Permanent Epis copal fund between the two Dioceses. Resolved, 5th, That the foregoing resolutions shall not take effect until they are ratified by the action of the next annual convention, with such modification as may be adopted at that time. Bishop Lyman, in choosing the Western as his Diocese, as he had the right to do under canonical law, filled the only blank in the resolutions, and decided whether the eastern portion of the State should be the old Diocese, or whether it should be the western. Bishop Lyman, in his address to the Charlotte convention, stated that he personally thought the movement untimely, but in order to put himself in full accord with his Diocese, he gave his ''canonical consent," which was absolutely necessary to the division, and the matter went to the G-eneral convention for ratification. "When, early in the session, it was brought up before the House of Depu ties, the consent of that body to the division was given, and a message to that effect sent to the House of BishoDS. A writer in a recent issue of the Raleigh News and Observer, in giving the facts of how' the matter was final ly ratified by the, General convention at Philadelphia, says: "From personal information I learn that there was a strong feeling among the Bishops against the measure, and that notwithstanding the fact that the Bishop of North Carolina advo cated and voted for the division, it was defeated, and a message of non- concurrence sent down to tne lower house. "A committee of conference was called for and granted-they met, and again the subject was considered by the Bishops. Kentucky had with drawn her claim to division, the ap plication of Tennessee had been re fused, and except for the direct influ ence of Bishop Lyman in advocating and voting fer the division of the Diocese of North Carolina, we would now be just where we were when we met in Diocesan convention in Char- l0t"tn fact the vote of our Bishop de cided the question, for after the mat ter had been fully discussed by the rr1iao nf Hiohnns zimce. a w ex pediency of the division,the final vote as taken was as follows : "In favor of the division. .26 Bishops.

Now that the more exact returns of the Iowa election are known the tri umph of the republicans has become beautifully small as compared with the first aimouncement. In 1880 Mr. Garfield obtained -a repulican plurali ty of about 45,700. but in the last elec tion the republican plurality was only about 25,000. In the State Legisla ture of 1882-83 the republicans had a clear majority of 83 on a joint ballot and a majority of 51 in the House. But in the Lowe House, which was all elected this year, the republicans number only 41, while the democrats can count upon 48 and perhaps the one independent vote ; so that the re publican maioritv will in the new House be only three and perhaps four. In the lost congress all of Io wa's Representatives were republican, but it in the next there will be five de mocrats and six republicans. Th se results do not show a great republican victory.
