Upon the organization being completed, the
house of bishops asked for a conference commit
tee and appointed, Bishop Elliott, on the part of
tuc iiuuse oi oisnops. xne request was acceded
to, and Dr. Andrews of Virginia was appointed
Chairman of the Committee on the part of the
house of deputies.

several diocesan councils, form any other synodi

And whereas, in the opinion nf spvrnl r,f th
dioceses which co-operated in the formation of

the political exigencies which caused its flrran era-
merit no longer exist.
Whereas, the spirit of charitv whi
in the proceedings of the. General Convention of.

States at its late session in Philadelphia, has
vva.iiiiy recommended itself to the hearts of this
uuuuuii, inerejore resolved,
1. That in the hidon

perfectly consistent with the good faith which she
ues to me oisnop and dioceses with which she
has been in union since 1862, for any diocese to
decide for itself whether she shall any longer
continue in union with this council.
2. That it be recommended that wherever the
word Confederate occurs in the standards of this
church the word United be substituted there
for. 3 That inasmuch as the change recommended
m the precedingftresolution (being a change in
the Prayer Book) cannot legally be completed
until the next meeting of this council, that under
the circumstance it should in the mean
time have the force of law in a diocese, with the
approbation of its bishop and council.
4 That each diocese now in connection with
this council shall be governed by the constitution
and canons thereof, until such time as it shaH

5. That whenever any diocese shall dpfrmina
to withdraw from this

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN WINDER THE OCCUPANTS
OF THE OLD CAPITOL PRISON.
It is stated that Dick Winder, now confined in
the Old Capitol Prison, takes decided umbrage
at the recent comments that have been made up
on his situation in your Washington correspon
dence, and asserts that the Herald in publishing
them has taken this means of urging his case be
fore a military commission. Winder also affirms
that the statement that he has prepared an elab
crately warm and voluminous defence of himself
has no foundation other than the , fact that he
has employed his leisure hours in preparing a
statement exonerating himself from the abuses
of power which he is generally charged with hav
ing exercised while at Andersonville, and which
he proposes to place before the world, wheth
er he may be held to trial or not,; !
Aside from Winder, Duncan and Gee, there are
no prisoners of any considerable note now incar
cerated in the Old Capi tol. The last named was
brought here from Flo rida, and wa?an associate,

A PARDON-BROKER ARRESTED.
A Dumber of pardon-brokers add claim agents
having brought business down to such a point
that it became notorious that money was being
paid for the procurement of pardons, and for
other cases needing official assistance, the atten
tion of General Baker, chief detective, was called
to the fact by a pardon being thrust into his face
by a notorious rebel bridge burner, who was also
deeply involved in certain conspiracies ; on inves
tigation he found a certain female pardon-broker,
named Mrs. Cobb, had procured it for the sum of
two hundred dollars, and had taken a receipt for
its payment.
One of his detectives was sent to her, and un
der an assumed name got a pardon for the sum
of two hundred dollars, in thirty-six hours, with
out said detective having taken an amnesty oath.
On the last money being paid she was arrested
and taken to head-quarters, where she was finally
released on making certain disclosures. Yester
day she went before the grand jury, and to-day
iuur urns oi indictment were lound against Gen
eral Baker for larceny, false arrest, etc. Some
rich developments are anticipated on the trial
coming up, and a full expose of this branch of bu
siness. It is understood that the president has
forbid her to again enter the white house.
CHARLES JAMES FAULKNER,
Of Virginia, ex-Minister to France, under Bu
chanan, is here again to try and get pardoned.
He has a letter from Mr. Lincoln indicating his
intention to pardon him. The statements that
he has received a pardon from Mr. Johnson are
erroneous.
CABINET MEETING.
The president to-day had a protracted cabinet
session, Secretary Stanton remaining for several
hours. The doors were not thrown open to the
public, and no admittances was granted to any
one. No pardons were issued to-day.

Message of the Governor ef Indiana.
Indianopolis, Ind., Nov. 14.
The governor's message was delivered to the
legislature to-day. It pertains mostly to state
affairs; recommends a prompt provision for

and seamen, a bureau of emigration, seperate
schools for colored children, and the repeal of
the statute excluding negro testimony in the
courts. lie pays a tribute to the Indiana soldiers
and advises that although the heresy of the'
state sovereignty is exterpated, the questions in
volved m the arbitrament of arms must be adju
sted and determined by the highest judicial tri
bunal m the trial of Jeff. Davis for treason and
othtr attrocious crimes.
He approves the president's reconstruction
policy. He also adyocates representation accord
ing to the number 6f voters, and the adoption of
such an amendment, if it passes congress.

Confederate Colony In ITIexlco. x . ,
From the St. Louis Republican.
We learn from a gentleman who lived formerly
m A,exington, m this state, something of the
prospects of the Confederate colony which is be
ing established in Mexico. The one-to which he
belongs, and to which he will return, as soon as
he can dispose of certain property in this State,
lies near Conlova, a town on the road between
Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico, and about a
hundred miles from the former place. It con
sists of about a dozen large haciendas of appar
ently good laud, capable of producing cotton.

to the settlers by the Emperor's government, in
pracels of six hundred and forty acres to families.
ana in sm&ller allotments to single men. Sterling
Price, Gen. Joe. Shelby, ex-Governor Harris, of
Tennessee, and Judge Perkins, of Louisiana, were
there at the time of his departure, with other
proposed settlers of less note, Lieut. Maury,
formerly of the Naval Observatory at Washing
ton, was also there, and actively engaged in fur
thering the scheme, by drawing up a report to be
circulated in the southern states, with a view' of
inducing parties, of colonists to come over and
join them. The work of tilling the soil had not
been fairly commenced, and would be postponed
until there was a suitable accession to their num
bers. This they expected to obtain in reasonable,
time through the medium of Maury's report, and
the influence of a newspaper which ex-Governor
Allen, of Louisiana, has commenced publishing
in the City of Mexico. Maximilian, our inform
ant thinks, is secure enough on his throne, pro
vided the Monroe Doctrine be not broadly asserted
by the United States. The armed resistance of
the Liberals will soon be overcome, and the oppo
sition to him be confined to the Church party
alone. This opposition, however, is not apt to
take the form of a revolution, inasmuch as the
Liberal party first confiscated the Church property,
and Maximilian's offence consists only in refusing
to restore it. ( .

Conflict In Mississippi.
We learn through a direct channel (says- the
Nashville Daily Fress) that a conflict has already
broken out between Provisional Governor Sharkey
and Judge Humphreys, the governor elect.
Humphreys hates the federal authority so bacDy
that he wants Sharkey to get out immediately
and let him assume the office of governor, 'while
Governor. Sharkey, on the other hand, refuse to
abdicate until ordered to do so from Washington.
The president has instructed Governor Sharkey
to hold on to his office until it ascertained
whether congress will admit the Mississippi dele
gation, and recognize her as a state in the union.
It is understood that the president is justly in
dignant at the ill-concealed disloyalty of the gal
vanized rebels in that state, and may possibly give
them a severe rebuke.
