WE PRINT elsewhere the form Of pc.
tition to be presented to the Supervisors,
at their meeting Friday, praying them to
submit n second time the question Of a
subscription to the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
& Kentucky Railroad. We have already
expressed approval Of the object sought,
and only wish to add now doubt Of the
expedicncy Of ordering another special
election. If another vote Is taken, II Is
desirable to have rs nearly a full vote as
possible. We Judge 1t impossible to get
out more than half vote at special
election. If tho question were submitted
at the election in August when we vote
on the Convention, II would insure very
full vote, and save the expense of a special
election; and the delay would probably
make no material difference as affecting
an arrangement with the Pennsylvania
Central, inasmuch as the negotiation with
that company will have TO begin anew
anyhow.

Ohio Christian Missionary Society.

DAilONI w May 81
The thirteenth annual convention of
the Ohio Christian Missionary Society,
Disciples Church, met this afternoon, and
will hold over until Thursday evening.
Rev Isaac Errett, editor OF the Christian
Standard at Cincinnati, presided. The
attendance OF eminent preachers of the
church, and some Baptist clergymen
from Ohio and adjacent States, was
large. The members of the convention
are distinguished for their intellectual ap-
pearance. Among the prominent are
Hon. Jas. A. Garfield, President Pen.
dleton, OF Bethany College, West Va;
Rev. Jas. Challen, Of Cincinnati; Prof
Sloan, of Mount Vernon Rev, ]. II, Nc.
Cullough, Of Indiana, and one hundred
Others OF almost equal prominence.
The afternoon session was occupied
with brief and stirring addresses from
various preachers, with devotional cxcr-
cises.
A resolution heartily inviting the parti-
cipatiOn of all the denominations was
unanimously adopted.
The evening session was chiefly occu-
pied by an unusually able address from
Rev. Isaac Evrett on the opportunities OF
and opposition to tho general church.
The general scope was the arraignment
of the money getting spirit of the age, the
oppressive spirit of ROmanism and the
foreign doctrines OF atheism which Is so
corrupting the public mind and destroy.
Ing the spirituality OF the Protestant
church, which will, unless checked, re:
duce us to the miserable condition OF
France. The most notable point of the
speaker was the overture to the Baptlsts
to consider the reunion with the Disciples,
who, no said are essential one, preaching
one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
The Convention meets at 8 O'Clock TO-
morrow morning.
