The SIeIhodIst BooI. Uonceru.

The Church North, (defendanis)
in this important suit, make the fol-
lowing points in their defence:
The travelling preachers are not
the owners Of this Book Concern
fund, but it is held by the Church in
the nature Of a charity, and comes
within their fund for charitable uses.
The travelling preachers in distribu-
ting books did not do so, as had been
alleged, with view to fund tor
old age, &C., but were compensated
for doing so, the books being furnish
ed to them at 25 to 333 per cent dis
count. The Book Concern has been
raised, not by contributions, but by
the course Of its business. II was
established in 1899, on a capital Of
$4,000. In five years afterwards its
value was S24,000, and in four years
more, being in IS0S, it was worth
SAT 900, and has continued to in.
crease until it is said now to be
worth S75O,000. II is not a vested
right in the travelling preachers, as
had been contended. In proof Of
which was adduced the fact that the
annual conferences create travelling
preachers, who in process of time or
reverse Of circumstances, become
claimants upon the fund; yet the an
nual conferences have nothing to do
with the Book Concern, its officers
being appointed and its affairs con-
trolled by the General Conference
1t was stated that the Southern Gen.
ference has been supplied since lS44,
with tookson the same terms as the
Canada Conference.-The is Z per
cent. less than the wholesale price.

spared his life and sold him as a slave

incorporated him in bis troops, and
soon discovered in him so great

made him Governor Of Andjelah in |

The Convenusn.


Since our last publication, this
body has been engaged in committee
Of the whole, on the report on the
legislative department. Their pro-
gress still seems slow, and so far as
information has been received, noIh-
ing defnitive has been agreed upon
since the adoption Of the Compro-
mise. On Thursday, the 2Sd, as will
be seen from the proceedings given
in another column, the fioodgates Of
debate on the basis question were
near being re-opened. in consequences
Of Mr.. Randolph's announcement of
his intention TO move a reconsiGe-
ration Of this subject. This deter.
mination on the part of Mr.. RAM
dolph, has been produced by instruc-
tions from his Albemarls constitu-
ents, commanding him to do so, or
resign his seat Western VirgiHiaR.
The llth inst. is the day fixed up
on for the motion. The editor Of the
Virginian learns from private ac-
counts, that the motion will proba-
bly, prove Intellectual, and that the
compromise will be sustained.

Massachusetts.

One hundred and seventy men,
bers of the late Senate and House Of
Representatives Of Massachusetts
have published an address to the peo-
pie, exposing and dencuncing the
bargains Of Democrats and Freesoil-
ers, for the election Of Governor, U.
S. Senator, &c.
The address says: "We think II
due to the fair fame Of the State,
that such transactions should not go
forth to the world in silence that
might be construed into an admis-
sion, that they are in conformity with
the usual principles and conduct Of
those who are trusted by the people
Of Massachusetts 10 make its laws"
We think it due TO the public NOR
ais that the true character Of such
acts should not be obscure in any
mind by any miserable sophistry
which has been thrown over them.
The address is quite lengthy and ex-
ceedingly severe upon the coalitions

There seems TO be considerable
difficulty in locating the county bull
dings of Vinton county. The Re-
publican says:
LocATED.-At last, after much
scolding, swearing, and many exhi-
bitions Of spirit. bidding, &C.. the
Jail and Jailor's dwelling have been
located on a part of the lot where
the store house formerly occupied by
]. G. Will, stands,-the building is
to be removed to give place to the
public buildings. The friends of the
Public Square and those OF the other
locations in town, kept the Commis-
sioners in such hot place between
their respective fires, that for long
time they could not make up their
minds where 10 put the Jail. But at
last, by desperate effort, they made
up their minds-came to a final de-
cision-and located the Jail.
The Court House has not been 10.
Gated, and at present it is impossible
to tell when it will be. There. will
probably be a second series al the
location Of the Court House. There's
fun ahead.

AS with this number of the JOURNAL com
menees the second year Of the present publish
er's sole connection Herewith, the occasion is
a fit one for some remarks, as well as for making
any changes that may be expedient.
During the year the Journals subscription
list has been somewhat enlarged by the acees-
sion of voluntary subscribers-though the in
crease has not been rapid, yet it has been grad
ual and certain, and that too without any ex-
ira out-of-door effort. That we have met the
expectation and received the approval Of those
whom it has been our desire TO please, we are
not entirely without evidence. OF the past
it is now only necessary 10 say that we have
endeavored to deserve well-what is published is
published, would it were worthier.
Influenced perhaps by the course of other
publishers, at home and abroad, who are aiming
at more extended circulation and prompter
payments, by enlarging the amount Of reading
matter and reducing the price thereof, and de
sirous of adopting any plan that may promise
mutual advantage TO publisher and reader, we
have reduced the yearly terms of the JOUR-
NAL 10 ONE DOLLAR. payable in advance.
Let it be remembered that by reducing the sub
scri2tion price ONE THIRD, the expenses of pub
fishing are not decreased but rather increased,
and that ihe only way to make up the differ
ence is by a largely increased list of paying
subscribers. After July lst, under the new
postage law, the Journal can circulate any
where in the county. through the Post Office,
free Of postage. With the reduced terms and
the favor Of Uncle Sam, we can ask the ciii-
zens Of Gallia county TO subscribe with some
swell the number of our supper tiers. Perhaps
we ought 10 say that the Journal will lose none
OF its Wing prepossessions, but if any change
may be expected as the preparation for the fall
elections comes on, it may be that those pre-
Possessions viii be more evident and its tone
more positive. Should the new constitution
be adopted by the people, the election of off,
GERS and the preparation for putting out to sea
aboard the new craft viii be of more than or
binary interest TO the general reader and es-
pecially to Wings.
Aside from politics, we shall continue to de-
vote large portion of our columns 10 useful
and interesting miscellaneous subjects. To
our friends we look for aid in extending our
circulation. A little trouble on their part in
their immediate Deighborhood may benefit US
much-will they do it2 We hope to be able at
the close of the year on which we now enter to
inform the patrons of the Journal that the
change has been highly satisfactory and benef-
cial to all concerned.
