REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON
sUsTRNTATIoN.
This report which was read by Rev. DR..
j. Leighton Wilson, presented the follow
ing facts. "a
The Executive Committee on Sustenta-
ton in presenting their Fifth Annual Re-
port, would remark that their work is of q
double nature, to assist in building church
buildings, and in supporting the feeble
Churches. In all cases they endeavor to
work in union with the Presby teries
Since the close of the war the depressed
condition of our country, the poverty of
preachers have restricted their efforts main
ly to the support of existing feeble church
es. New ones have not been organized ex-
cept where there was prospect of healthy
growth. In Evaugelistic labor it has beef
the aim that the feeble churches should
receive the time of the laborer in propor-
ton to the amount Of their contributions.
Still we do not forget that the poor must
have the gospel preached to them.
The receipts during the past year have
been 500, 209 76-a decrease of S67O 81
The receipts for the fund for the relief OF
disabled ministers has fallen of S33. This
decrease while much TO be regretted is not
q matter of surprise nor an indicationy
of retrogression. In every case in
which 8 feeble church increases its
pastors salary It relieves the central
treasury to that amount. In reports from
our twenty seven Presbyteries, there are
only two where the average salary falls be.
low five hundred dollars, five where it is
between five aud Fix hundred dollars,
eight between six and seven hundred dol
lars, six between seven and eight hundred
dollars, two between eight and nine hun

THE Journal has, f.op time 10 time,
tried TO show the people Of The North the
true con dit:on If affai:s in North Caroline.
It has shown how the whole 'sKu-klux %
IgsnizatiCn (sO-cailtd) originated, not
from q desire TO Cypress tho colored peo-
pie, or any other portion OF our citizens,
but merely to suppress the outrages which
were being committed upon q portion Of
our people by parties who were not brought
to Justice or were likely to escape unpun-
ished, through the corruptnes5 of our Ju-
dietary. During all the impeachment trial
OF Governor Holden, under the most
searching cross. examinatio of witnesses,
this fact was continually made prominent:
that the Ku-klux had acted only against
those who had been guilty OF crimes, such
as barn-burning, rnpe, murder, burglary,
larceny, or of such criminal indecencies as
the law did not reach. No witness whose
testimony, was not impeached, or so pal
pably false as to need no Impeachment,
testified TO an actual outrage of this secret
organization committed on Innocent par
ties, and they all showed the organization
to be nut q Vigilance Committee under
another name.
Weare no apologists for any such organ
ization, call them by any name you will,
and we have endeavorei to show that 20
party as political one. could be held re-
sponsible for the acts of the Ku-kIux.-
Such, we believe, has been the position of
nearly every paper of standing in North
Carolina. Yet, in the face of this almost
unanimous verdict of our press, the jour
nails of the North arc teeming with fierce
denunciations of the Democrats of the
South, charging them with organizing and
keeping up the Ku-klux organization to

The Catholic hero q " LOthair," the
young Marquis Of Butte. although al nit
ted to be the greatest "catch Inatrimo-
nlallY speaking, ia Great Britain, and one
of the largest landowners in Tie renl7l, has
never yet made his respects to the Qaeeu
at court. This singular circumstance is
now accounted for by the Court journal,
which states that the young Marquis prom
lsed his mother on her d1ath.bGd never 10
permit himself TO be presented TO Queen
Victoria. The reason of this Extraordinary
promise, which ihe Marquis has religions
ly kept, Is to be found IN the implacable
hostility of the Warehouses to the Queen.
The late Marchioness of Butte was the sis
ter Of Lady Flora Hastings. the young aud
beautiful maid of honor, whom Queen Vic
toria, then girl of 19, suffered soon. after
her accession to the throne to be driven
from her presence, and hunted to death
by SANDERS long since disaproved. The
cold and cruel conduct of the young sov-
ereign at that time the family Of the vic
tim have never forgotten or forgiven
When the Queen some years ago visited
Rothesay Bay In her yacht, and lay fox
several days in sight of the superb resi-
deneer OF the Marchioness Of Butte, Mount
stuart House, the Marchioness not only
RETAINED from attempting TO pay her
court to the Queen, but actually ordered
all the blinds of the windows III Mount
Stuart House to be kept closed so long as
the royal yacht lay within sight Of them.
Time has not eoftened in the son the bit
ter sense OF injustice which hardened the
mothers heart. 1t is even said that hor-
ror at the notion of being obliged to CON
slider Queen Victoria the head Of his church
plays no small part in inducing the Mar
quis of Butte TO abandon that church for
he communion of Rome
