al Barnum's Hotel, in st. Louis, on

For the Gallipolis journal.
Notice.

As people in general are in the hab.
it of looking in the county paper to
find out what Is going on in their
own immediate community. Ithought
perhaps this might be q good way to
inform the members belonging to
the Gsllipolis District Of the Wo
mans Foreign Missionary Society,
that a convention fos the promotion
of the interests of the same was held
10 the city Of c., Nov. Goth,
1878.
True, our late District Secretary.
Miss KArE BRlwLEY. gave public an
nouncement of the same in the coun-
ty papers of the District, and wrote
to the several A~uxiliaries. urging The
necessity Of sending a delegate. And
yet strange to say. the NJ. E. Church
was not at all crowded. and not as
much interest manifested as when a
road supervisor is to be elected.
Our ladies do not appear very am
bilious for Office, nor yet particular
as to who occupies the places OF
trust.
But I feel safe in saying that the
lady elected as our District Secretary
is as worthy of the place and will fill
it with as much efficiency as any that
could have been chosen. If the whole
delegated body had been present.
But I was sorry that there was not a
larger turn out Sorry that the
membership outsiders, aud all who
love Jesus and desire to spread the
Gospel-were not present with us.
Their very presence would have
been an encouragement, and all
might have been benefited. True,
the weather was unfavorable. the
roads bad. and many things unpropi
tious, and to the ease loving disciple
little things prove mountains Of d;f-
iculty. But ought we not TO be as
Jealous and courageous in laboring
for our Master as are the worlds de-
voices? Sometimes when | picture
lndia'sdark hued daughters, clothed
in their ignorance, superstition and

and no sweet communion with Jesus,

Lively Democratic Caucus.

Lively Democratic Caucus.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette furnishes the
following account of the democratic
Congressional caucus, held Saturday
night. The back pay swinile is not
such 8 frightful thing. at Washing
ton, to these democrats "a it is when
before the people for Office:
"The Democratic caucus resulted
in a strong Endorsement by the ma
jority of the back pay measure. which
caused the withdrawal of Cox. OF
New York; Holman, of Indiana. and
Milton Sayler, Southland, and Jewett,
of Ohio. Mr.. Holman introduced a
resolution condrmning the back pay
and all who took it. and put forward
Mr.. Cax as an anti-salary candidate
for Speaker. Mr. Eldridge denounced
Holman as a demagosue, and ap
piled bitter epithets of a personal
character. Mr.. Holman replied that
Eldridge was ton much q creature of
the Board of Public Works to lee
ture anybody present. For II mo-
ment the row bid fair to become gen
eral, but was quoted by the bolt OF
the above named members. The
caucus then proceeded to show its
appreciation of Holman's motion by
nominating Fernando Wood for
Speaker, who, when the salary bill
was about to fail when on its final
passage, rose and changed his vote
from the negative to the affirmative.
There is great dissatisfaction To day
among Democrats ut the result, and
the position in which they find them
selves as fully indorsing the back
paw when it was fairly presented as
an issue

re- Notwithstanding the disposition
Of the Madrid government to accede TO
the demands of the United States in The
Virginius affair, still trouble is appre-
hended from the Cuban authorities.
A letter received in New York from
Havana says the people there would
refuse 10 allow any order from Madrid
to deliver up the Virginius, or make
other reparation for her seizure and
the execution of her crew, to be carried
out. In such a contingency, just let
the Spanish navy haul off for a few
days, and the American war ships
would o o bring the cut-throats TO a
realizing sense of their duty. A days
work of this sort would not be amiss
anyhow.

ea~Gen. GOODMAN, by appointmen emf
from the Auditor OF State. has been
engaged for over two months in an
examin alton Of the Treasury of But
Ter county. He has just made his
report. He exposes a long series OF
iliegalities, overcharges and frauds.
In the matter of fees alone, he re
ports overcharges by the county
officers of over S24,0 900. The Gen
eral says "that every officer whose
accounts / have been able to make
up, thus far, has proved to be a de-
faulter." 1t is we'll TO remember
that Butler county is democratic to
the core, and that these defaulting
officers all belong to that organiza-
ton. We doubt not these men have
talked as loud as the loudest about
Republican frauds, and here is their
record-corrupt from centre to cir
conference. There is no hope of

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Diplomacy VS.. ImpetuOsity-The
Affair Considered Virtually Set
tied.
The Cuban question during the past
week has assumed a dozen shapes, and
as many returns to the same positions.
The reports of one day foreshadowed
that war was inevitable, while the sue
ceeding days dispatches contradicted
or qualified them until an amicable ad-
iustment seemed all probable. The
dispatches of one day were pronounced
unreliable or sensational on the next,
and nothing definite oil positive could
be ascertained until Saturday, when
appearances indicated. judged from of
ficial iufurma,inn, thatthe whole trouble
concerning the Virginius and the mur
der of her crew would be peaceably and
honorably settled by the Spanish au-
thorities, through Admiral Polo, and
our government, through Secretary
Fish. Our government, through the
latter, submitted TO Admirsl Polo, the
Spanish Minister. who has been clothed
with extraordinary powers to treat
with the United States, on Wednesday
of last week. the following propositions,
and asked their concession:
First-The surrender of the Virgin
Jus and the customary salute to the
flag.
Second-That the surviving mem
beers Of the crew must be restored.
Third Suitable indemnify to be
made 10 families of those slain.
These demands were held under con-
sideration By the Spanish government
several DAYS, when the concession was
finally made. on all three propositions,
and the fear of trouble with Spain no
longer existed.
In addition TO the above Spain agrees
that the American flag shall be saluled.
at some agreed future time, in the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba. also that
Gov. Burriel, and the other officers who
are responsible for The murder of Ryan,
Fry, and the remainder of the crew.
shall be tried and punished for this of
tense. These murders, it is understood.
is in express violation of the treaty of
1875. and of Spanish law. There will
in all probability be also a demand
made upon the Spanish government for
a sliberal money compensation TO be
paid 10 the families of the sufferers at
Santiago. and a half a million dollars
exacted for this purpose. Thus ends
the prospective Spanish var, and seiz-
ure or Cuba, thereby demonstrating
that as nations advance in enlightment,
civilization and refinement, war be-
comes a relic of the past, and ''for the
kings offense the people died." known
only in Homeric verse. True the muir
der of a citizen in a foreign port is no
small breach, yet, when a nation makes
all the restitution aud r%eparation in her
power, let our people who have shown
rather more impetuosity than wisdom
accept the diplomatic victory and re-
joice in the prospective piping times
of peace.
