OUR CONVENTIONS.

Our city is at present marked by the
number Of conventions, chiefly religious,
now assembled in its limits. There are
many visitors as matter Of course; some
Of them quite distinguished in ecclesiasti-
cal matters. The Baltimore Synod, now in
session at the Central Presbyterian church,
embraces in its membership, many venera-
BILE and learned men the Women's State
Temperance Association, which met last
e-ening in the West church, is looked
-. .S of great importance by those who
-..us ..ie power that our mothers and sis
teas wicd the National S. S. Convention
Of the African church, are to transact busi-
ness Of considerable value to the colored
citizens of the State and country.
We are clad to note that there has beeu
no lack of hospitality in the disposition
Of the visitors The reputation Of Will
minston for tina. cardinal quality has been
and it is our duty that it
should continue so. 1t is lucky that none
Of the assemblies are in session very late at
night, or some Of the strangers might go
home wondering at the fondness of Will
for mystical darkness in their
streets. 1t is fortunate that October has
given touch Of beauty to our suburbs
or our visitors cannot but so away, after
listing them, feeling that we have the
most beautiful and romantic of surround
n2s. 1t is lucky that market day comes,
md it should, on Wednesday, the keystone
If the week, that the ministers and sisters
rom distance may lie regaled upon the
reshest Of provisions. Altogether the sea-
ons Of conventions will pass most pleas
ntly; we wish the Synod light work and
he accomplishment of much good, and
would conclude by congratulating our
Presbyterian friends upon the selection of
as the place of convocation

LABOR AND TIE SOU-lA

The City of Norfolk, Virginia, is aga;l
forcing itself before the people as an i'm
por:ant point Of shipping. 1t is advan
taseously situated to arrive at prominence
OF the E!:za.ot!l river which is navigab,e
for vessel; Of large depth and tributary
diroc! to Hampton Rhoals which is for.
midaD.e slip highway to the Atlantic
Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. Thus advan
tageou,ly situated as Norfolk is for water
facilities it has close connection with the
South side of Virginia by direct routes.
Vast net works of railroad tributary 10
main branches reaching into the fertile fields
Of Tennessee, the rich valley Of Missouri,
tie cotton fields and pine forests Of North
C.!v,,ina, furnish conduct avenues Of trans
pora:ion. While even Georgia and
Alabama could contribute quota Of pro-
duce that would find a profitable shipping
point at Norfolk. The Atlantic, Missis-
sippi and Ohio, Railroad, of which General
Malone, Of Confederate Army no.oriety is
the father is channel Of conveyance for
the grain ard tobacco fields of Virginia
and the rich products Of the South that
could furnish large fund Of merchandise
to valuable seaport as Norfolk with its
excellent harbor could be made. It
stretches with its lattcrals as arms of sup
port into the rich and productive fields
that we have before mentioned, and can
divert large amount Of shipping that now
finds its way to Charleston and Savannah.
But the country upon which Norfolk must
depend, has passed through severe test Of
war that has crippled its energies, disor-
ganized the system Of labor in the South,
broken down established rules and customs
Of agriculture, and until they are recupera-
ted, Norfolk cannot hope to become very
valuable as seaport. Labor is in the
transitory state with the people of the
South; they are entering upon new E, q
in the industries and pl ogress Of their
country by the introduction of new systems
Of labors, which will prove more stable
than the native, and which is precisely
what We want in the lower sections OF this
State to make our soil as productive as it
can be made and as largely tributary to the
large markets as it should be.

he was a dead cock in the pit, his own peo-

picked him up and made him Secretary ol

Grants cabinet. The old bureau was

THAT BIG MAJORITY.

iii: ,-c.: in Ohio has no. tsrncI
oat to be such a back eye for l., Demo
Gratis aftc. all. BY slancing over the re-
turns ard comparing them with previous
election, we find that for Republican
State, Ohio did very badly indeed for that
party. Wetiad by the returns that HIVES
majority was only forty-eight hundred and
seventy-Six. Now when we consider that
Allen vas cnly elected in 1873, by a ma
iority of eight hundred and scvea.een, the
Ohio big minority dwind.es into a mere
nothin. a. a triumph. Il is like tie idiots
tale full OF sound and fury, signifyinr
nothing. The State has always been Re-
publican, ard taking this into considera-
tion, and that there we're such great obs.,.
eles in the way Of Democratic success nv
certain issues, there is no reason that the
Republican rooster should sound his clari.
On notes with 20 much Of the glory halle
];gah about them. 1t was a desperate
struggle viihal into Which the gold ofWall
street was flooded, and orators bartered
their eloquencc. The school question was
