We observe In the Pittsburgh papers
Of yesterday that our beloved brethern Of
the West Va. press arrived safely in and
departed securely from that volcanic and
otherwise Shutty city. Between The hours
Of 0 I'm. and Q A. NJ. "wednesday and
Thursday they visited the Exposition
Their time, like that OF the fellow who
arrived at NiAgra after night, bought
lantern, examined the falls, and passed
on, was too precious to linget after 2A.M
But during that time the brethern got in
their work quite vigorously. We observe
that PInttenbnrg, slinn, and several
others, made speeches along about ten al
night, which was perhaps a little early
for them as a general thing.
One Of the special curlosities Of this
West Virginia caravan and one that at.

-as we'll II might-wAs The sight Of two ol

Pittsburgh had ever seen such sight As
this before. We presume II will be
countless ages before The world sees The
like again. No wonder the caravan fell
compelled to move before DAYLIGHT.

sex Railroad, seated In covered buggy
with Judge Reyes, when the ilagman
warned them Of the approach Of train
and they stopped till The engine passed.
Being In conversation, and not thinking
that the cars were coming after and that
flying switch was always made at this
crossing, they started 10 cross, when The
cars struck the hind wheels, throwing
Judge Keyes into the street and rolling
Mr., Hudson along the track about twenty
feet and down an embankment. Judge
Keyes was not seriously injured, but Mr..
Hudsons injuries proved fatal, lie was
80 years old and leave, a widow and an

Tie Heavy Increase IN the vote OF
l'ease Township.

FROM tue BcllatIe independent
The immense increase In the vote Of
Pease Township Ia startling, especially In
view Of the fact that II Is about equal to
the enumeration OF male inhabitants over
the age Of twenty.one years taken by the
Assessor last summer. In 1874 that Town.
ship polled $50 votes, in 1876, 1903 votes
The Assessor, bear In mind, takes all
male persons he finds In the Township,
over iwenty.one years Of age, still, not.
withstanding many taken by him are not
citizens, the poll:books keep up with
him. In Pultney the Assessor found ! !.
s76 persons above the age Of twenty y.one
years, but only 1891 OF them got ballots
In the boxes. The increased Republican
vote in Pease Township seems TO be nat.
utal, 73S against $50 last year, but the
Democrats are able to poll 63S this
year, against SS9 last year.
II there IL any rational explanation Of
this, We would be glad to hear II.

There seems to be n grand offensive and

PsALMs VERSUS lIYMNs.-Several years
ago there was q split in one Of the United
Presbyterian Churches Of Philadelphia
the one Of which George II, Stuart was a
member and the principal financial prop
ON account Of the fact that Mr.. Stuart
and portion Of his fellow members were
addicted to singing hymns instead Of the
palms in metre. The General Synod Of
the Church undertook 10 discipline him
for this habit but his own Presbytery
espoused his cause and characterized the
action Of the Synod as Unconstitutional
arbitrary and injurious" whereupon the
Synod unChurched the recusant Prcsby.
terry.
There was, It seems, small minority in
Mr.. Stuart's Church that adhered to the
Synod, and who, thus adhering, set up a
claim to the Church property. This
Church property Mr.. Stuart had mostly
contributed out Of his own pocket, and II
did not look very gracious either to him
or to the majority Of the congregation
who stood by him, to see themselves thus
put out Of house and home by the minori.
ty for nogreater crime than the singing Of
hymns. So they took counsel among
themselves and resisted the demand Of
the minority, and now, after long years
Of litigation In the courts, tho Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania has vindicated
their right to hold tho Church property
and sing hymns aS much as they want to.
Commenting on the decision, thus
rendered, the New York Tribune Is moved
to remark as follows:
The only apparent effect will probably
be that the younger members Of the de.
nomination will now indulge in the spirit.
stirring songs Of Moody and Sankey In.
stead Of The severer measures Of Rouse.
