,r,.siouary Anniversary OF virginia
Conference.

The eighth Missionary Anniversary Oh 'u's
r,nference was held 10 the M. Il Church,
last night. A large aud appreclatlve aud'eoce
wos nresept, and Judging from the attention
tho, was given the speakers, and tho good or
dsr which prevailed, it is reasonable to suppose
~, tbsrs was an interest created, aud the OBJ
sc, Of the meeting one Of great Importance.
Rev A. j. Porter commenced the To-
tr,ductory exercises By reading the 2od Psalm
and announcing the 995,h hymn. Prayer was

he disked to be preceded by his elders 10 max
ipe addresses, and taking this lnto consldera
ron he would refrain from making any remarks

lowed by Dr. Freeman, Sunday school Score
,ary, at the conclusion Of whose address, Mr.

remarks especially to the laymao, exhorung
them to do something for Christ.
The duty of taking up the collection and sub
scription devolved upon DR.. Walsh who IN

Use Of Language.

IF a gentleman cannot under
stand the language of a gentle
man, he must remain in igno-
rance; for a gentleman cannot
write in any other way.-[R. E.
LEE.
We have ourself in times past
INDUCED in expressions that did
not have our own approval in
after hours of sober reflection.
In the heat of argument, or OF
debate. men may, to some ex.
tent, be pardoned in the use of
language that would otherwise
be inexcusable; but writer's for
the public press-who should
write with deliberation-have no
such excuse; AM it is, to say
the least, in exceeding bad taste
that the current political litera-
ture Of the day should be inter-
spersed with explosives that
have their origin in the perlieus
of the vicious and the degraded.
They add nothing to the force of
an argument, and detract very
much from the effect of the most
able article in the cultivated
mind. Take, for instance, the
speeches of the great statesman,
Daniel Webster, who always
clothed his ideas in the purest
Anglo Saxon, and intersperse
them here and there with many
phrases now in common use.
How their beauty would be mar
red, and the bright gold dlmmed.
The use of vulgar expressions
and slang phrases can only tend
to lower true man in his own
esteem, and forfeit the respect of
the truly good and wise.
Ideas clothed in pure and sim
pie language, kindly expressed,
will always win their way, when
the other fails. We, atall events,
intend for the future to be gov
erned by the ideas herein con-
veyed.

The Shoe Pinches.

What a howl comes up from
the Radical ranks because of the
cutting down of Offices and sala-
ries in the various departments.
There is lamentation among the
Republican cormorants because
of the sudden withdrawal of gov
eminent pap from a legion of
ce-holders, whose occupancy
of their former positions was as
unnecessary as it was unjust
1t has been demonstrated so oft
en- thatsit seems useless to re-
peat it, that the expense of
keeping this legion in place has
far exceeded the benefit render
ed to the government thereby,
and tended to increase taxation
and overburden the poor who are
now begging by the thousands
for bread in all of our large cities.
The Democratic House is blam-
ed for all of this, and the party
does not hesitate to welcome
the censure. The sooner the ex-
penses of the government are re-
duced the less will be the taxa
ton, the cheaper the living, the
greater demand for labor and
the greater the general prosper
ity OF the masses throug hout the
land. Tin an endeavor to bring
this about the Democracy are to
receive the censure Of the Radi-
cal Pecksniffs, they accept the
honor and await the endorse
ment of the people whom they
have served. They have barely
begun to lift the veil. The work
OF reformation will surely be
done and effectually prosecuted
Ills the end that crowns" and
