Resolved, That our delegation to the Gen.

that the Presiding Elder shall not serve more
than four successive years in that Office, and
shall not be again eligible to the office until
after the expiration of eight years.
As the Presiding Elders Office should be
missionary In its character, We recommend
that provision should be made in the arrange.
ments of the work, so as to allow the Presid.
ing Elder to visit those places that most need
his services, and not IS now, feel himself
obliged to visit quarterly every circuit and
station in his District. f..wg

WHAT lIoUsToS IS. DoIsG.--A letter re.
ccivcd yesterday from Houston causes the
News the loss Of over one thousand sub
scribers on account Of its course on TIE
capital question. We will say however,
rhat this thousand were not regular sub
scribers TO the News; they were those
whom the people Of Houston wished to
reach with their arguments for the remov'
nj of the capital TO their city, and there
fore had them placed upon our subscrip-
ton books. The loss Of friends and sub
scriptions is matter of regret to the
management of every newspaper, and this
paper does not expect to be an exception
to the rule. But there is something far
higher and more valuable to o respectable
journal than even public favor or public
patronage. 1t is the right to pursue an
Independent course, and express its senti-
ments upon oil public questions freely
and fearlessly. That journal, which m axes
this right subordinate to local prejudice,
at once loses its prestige and its old en-
the respect of the people,-Gal. News.
