The letter is dated Angusta, Aug. 1, 185: .. 51. .f. , ' , T "I m Tery clad tlmt yon have cone so much at largo into the question of the r?nAionot UieUMtrch, as it eives me an opportunity of 'iliuing before you my views in regard to the matter, which differ somewhat In regard to your own, as expressed In your letter to me, and also from the action ol tbeCaurch in the Uiocese oi .lexas. . 1 -i My objection to the action of the Diocese of Texia is not so much as to what she has done, as to her manner of, doing it. The reunion will hike i!.ice, and that, very soou, I have no doubt) but. I ought to take place in such wise as to preserve onr good faith to onr brethren and to each other. Texns seems to have forgotten that ns tho t'ro testant Fpiscopal Church in the Confederate States we performed certain acts which need recogni tion and confirmation,' and' wliich should not be left, in justice to others, without settlement in the very act of reunion. - ...-;' , ' Of these, the consecration of Bishop v aura is the most important, not only on his own Account, but because it involves all Ins -oluuial acta since his entrance upon hi Episcopate. Besides this we. have admitted Arkansas as a diocese, and have elected Bishop Lay as the Diocesan Bishop. These acta do not, indeed, involve such momen tous consequences as the ' other, but they are, nevertheless, of importance" enough to demnnd recognition. i.:; ', " 'Besides, I think that it is our duty to guard the memory of deetased Bishops, Mkapx, Otxy, and especially ur' beloved Poj.K. ' Not that we should expeci any:tndnTSQnient'from the General Com-emion m their views and 'actions, bnf thai we should feel assured that no reproach, cither dnecl .or .implied, will be cast npoa tboir grsves. About ourselves, .the living, we core but little j we are here ami can defend ourselves: but the reputation of tin) dead is" in our keeping, nnd we can fratornise with nobody who would "willingly1 dlst nib their ashes.

Let tlua stand or fall to their Master and our Master) one far. more competent to judge of them nnd us than we are of each other.-" ' " In purjiuuce of tbese preliminary views .my opinion is, oa I hare already (expressed to Bishop II. Fottko, in reply to the to letter which' you make allusion in yours, " that if at the' meeting of the General . Convention' In October, "thai body was to. pass a joint resolution,' returning thanks for pence, expressing the hope and desire thnt it might lend, to a reunion of the dioceses, andnppoiqt ing 4 committee :6C bishops.,, clergy and laity to meet a like committee from our council, which sits in Xovember, with full power to conclude an arrangement, there w ill bt do further diflicnHvi ' 1 cannot now speak authoritatively for anybody, but tuympiniea is that by this method we enn bo saved from much trouble in the future.
