A proposition is before the committee for
Courts of Justice in the Senate of Virginia to
amend the Constitution by striking out the
clause relating to church property, which
reads as follows:
"Strike from the Constitution of the State
Of Virginia the clause in reference to church
property, which is in these words: THE
rights of ecclesiastical bodies in and to church
property conveyed to them by regular deed
of conveyance shall not be afft cted by the
late civil war, nor by any antecedent or SUBJ
sequent event, nor by any act Of the Legisla-
ture purporting to govern the same, but all
such property shall pass to and be held by
the parties set forth in the original deed Of
conveyance, Or the legal assignecs of such
original parties holding through or by con-
veyancc, and any act or acts of the Legisla-
ture in opposition thereto shall be null and
void"

The Duty of the Hour.

If the Legislature has any idea of main
tanning the honor of Virginia, and re-instat-
ing the credit of the State in the financial
world, let them at once address themselves to
the work of providing, in some way, for pay
ing the interest on the State debt. The fall
ure to do SO. has done more to retard cmigra-
ton, and to prevent Investments within our
limits than all other agencies combined. 1t is
plain question that needs no elucida.ion.
We must either meet the interest on our debt,
or be regarded as III condition of partial
bankruptcy. There has been enough Of
money uselessly expended since the war, to
almost meet the interest. Every bill that
has not an immediate, pressing and indispen-
sable relation to the public necessities should
be buried out OF sight, at least until some
mode is devised to pay this interest

the name of all that is Virginiau, let her
have it. The larger the taxable property
thus built up, the more the advantage to the
rural and agricultural districts. IF the PEG
pie of the Shenandoah Valley, Of the Middle
Valley, and Of the West Valley, want rail-
roads, and can command the means to con-
struct them, let no obstruction, arising from
petty jealousy, be thrown in the way. What
ever assists in advancing the prosperity of
other portions Of the State, when the asses
scrs books are brought up to the witness
stand.
From all these instituted and contemplated
improvements, our own city and county must
reap rich harvest. Centrally located in the
Valley, with one great line of railroad pass
ing through the heart of the county, and
reaching out to the coal and mineral depos-
its of the mountains west Of US, and the
grain and stock trado of the great North
west; with two lines of railroad about to be
placed under contract running from her
Northern to her Southern limits, and con-
Meeting with great Southern lines, Staunton
is destined to become city of no insignif-
cant dimension There is no place South
of the Potomac whose attractions are more
commanding, or where enterprise deserves
more liberal encouragement and reward
With five of the finest female schools in the
South, several frst-cass high-schools for
boys, fine water power, a rich agricultural
SOIL and IA highly cultivated and refined and
enterprising population, both in county and
city, it requires no prophetic eye to foretel
the rapid growth in population and wealth Of
both the city and county.
