GAINESVILLE, VA, Nov. IL, 1875.
Now that the election is over. and we
suppose that "Old Tickets ''Many Fo
ters.'' This and Traf,'' True Conserva-
tives,'' and host Of others have exhaust
ed the canvass, and interviewed and outer
ciered character and ''coat tail" can
,lidates, there will be u dead calm after
the storm! We think the public mind,
for contrast. needs diversion from the
brisk canvass to a picture Of different
kind-that is, one not on canrass, or about
candidates. Our quiet little Valley has
seemed to leap out Of obscurity, and to
look up to holding position with other sec
lions not 81 ilemme1 in by Nature.
Seven miles below this we have a new,
Deat and comfortable church. of brick,
built two years ago on the site of the old
Lebanon church. and now the congrega-
ton are making an effort to build manse
for their new pastor, Rev. E. t. Hoge. We
think this enterprise very commendable,
and altogether characteristic of this
worthy congregation.
The Methodists at Pond Gap have just
completed a very neat and comfortable
frame church, which reflects credit upon
their little band, and it was dedicated last
Sunday, Rev Mr.. Gilbert, from Licking
ton. assisting Rev. Mr.. Dolly. the minis
ter in charge, in the services. On that
occasion it WAS announced that about
5000 were needed to rid the church Of
debt and to pay for painting and enclosing
it, and il. IL few minutes time the money
was raised.
Just upon the close of the Springs season,
and She departure of visitors from CraW-
ford's. two of our young county-nen came
to that place and opened It Female Semin-
arv, even though grand Old Mount Elliott,
Vi-ginia's summit, stands up loftily above
us, his majestic head and shoulders crnwn-
ed with u mantle of snow. Some weeks
ago we saw notice in your columns of
this school, and since that time they have
had some accesSiOnS and are daily looking
70. some more.
Since opening their school they have
been visited bv orr Two young clergymen
from the Emerald Isle, whose stirring
Irish el0quence las 50 excited the church
mind of city and country since coming to
US, and whose services in so short Il time,
have been solicited in several quarters, rs
permanent pastors. They each preached
one time at the Seminary to delighted
audience of pupils and others, and Rev.
Mr.. McCune, once at the Methodist
church above named and once last Sabbath
at Lebanon church.
Rev. McDuff Simpson icing the installed
past orCf Loeb Willow and Mr. Mcclure
having accepted a call to Mcdowell
church in Highland, to he installed reXt
week, we fear our little mona tain Valley
will not often be refreshed with the living
streams of Irish eloquence and Christian
pathos. flowing from their hearts brimful
of first love" for the salvation OF souls
and the Redeemer's ingdom. May God
bless Them in their new first fields of labor

FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 10. 1876.
A GOOD. PLATFORM,

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore ssSun" gives the following as the
position of the Hon. Michael G.. Kerr on
public questions, and in relation to the
speakership; while not. intending to es-
nress a preference for Mr. Kerr for speaker,
we cannot but commend the position he
has taken. If the Democratic and Conser-
yative party expects to succeed in the next
presidential election it must drop all col
lateral questions and make the fight on the
issue of reform and against the corrup-
tions of the party in power. A grave and
responsible duty devolves upon the Demo-
Gratis of the House Of Representatives in
the election Of it's presiding officer. 1t is
the first National Office the party has had
the privilege of filing since the war, and
the man selected will be taken ass type OF
the party and representative OF its future
policy. No man Of tainted record should
be selected but bold, fearless, upright
statesman, one above suspicion, and a fit
representative of the reform sentiment Of
the country;
Friends Of MI. Kerr here, who are fully
informed of his views in regard to the
speakership, state emphatically that he has
entered into no combinations and will not
entertain any to promote his election that
he has made no promises OF any KIND, and
" i'll make none, in reference to the Organl-
zation of the House; that he is opposed to
all rings by whatever name known and I'M
der whatever disguise, and in favor Of
searching Investigations into every form OF
existing corruption, and that he will insist,
in any position he may occupy, upon large
reduction of the public expenditures, strict
economy in all the departments and rigid
scruti.i,y of the appropriations. He Is tor
thorol and practical reform in the broad
. est and most honest sense. Substantially
This is Nh. Kerr's platform as a public
man, and wholly independent OF the speak
ership.
Mr.. Kerr olds that the honorS, RESPONSE
bilities Of the House of Representatives
Should he distributed impartially. and with
exclusive reference to fitness, character and
experience, and that any candidate for
Speaker who would consent directly, or IN
directly, to barter these great public trusts
for votes ought to be excluded as unworthy
of confidence. He has not sought the posi-
ton lie now occupies by the Partially Of
members of the House, representing Ncrth
and South. and East and West, but having
accepted ii in good faith his friends claim
that his opinions and purposes should be
frankly stated, especially as he has nothing
to conceal.
In regard to the bacl1-pay grab which
provoked so much comment and eXiled so
many members Of the Forty second Con
gress into private life, MI. Ksrr's record is
not only made up by his votes against that
scheme at every stage, but by the books OF
the treasury which show that the amount
due him under that law was returned into
the treasury by him.
