A movement is on foot among our South
ern Methodists to reduce the number OF dist
riots in the Baltimore Conference, and con-
sequently the number OF presiding Elders.
1t is argued that the. deficiency of this branch

the proposed change, while the churches will
be able to provide more Literally for the sup

A correspondent OF the New York Mining
Record says: Virginia is a vast mineral
empire, with but little development. Her
treasures of gold, silver, copper. lead. zine,
and her valuable iron, coal, clay, slate, and
plumbago have scarcely been touched. 1t is
gratifying to note that capitalists are endeav-

DURABLE, BEAUTIFUL & ECONOMICAL.
These paints are made from the same materials
that all painters CHAIN to use, best White Lead,
Zinc and Linseed Dill but scientifically combined
with other materials that give them strength
beauty, and make them economical. adhesive
and more durable than any other paints. Our
paint cannot be equaled for outside work; the
gloss being part Of its body, gives it hard CLOS
sy enameled surface, which will resist the action
OF the weather longer than any other paint. 1t is
equally good for inside work, whether wood,
plaStered walls, or ceilings, over wall paper.
The enameled surface given by the gloss, IS not
affected by scrubbing and washing. These pre-
pared house paints are new. found chemical
discovery, but are good old fashioned paints
They are ready MIXED and prepared for immedi-
ate use, to enable country people to do their own
painting, and use the best materials, which cost
no more than the adulterated article cow sold
to that class of trade Remember this important
point, good coat Of paint will make a house sell
for at least twenty per cent more. and the cost is
but little. VIM. r. TYREE,

Mr.. Henry's Committee to investigate the
double funding OF State bonds makes a very
singerly report. We infer from its cautious
wording that there is necessity for deep
er probe than has yet been given to reach
the bottom of the frauds. The Neeson Com
mittee was so astounded at what they dis
covered. that they did not want the condi-
ton of things in the Treasurer's office to
exist an hour longer. Ninety millions of
bonds. with coupons attached, signed and
ready for use, lying around loose in the
Treasurer's Office was enough to astonnd
them.

ROME, Feb. 20, 1878.
Cardinal Gioachino Pecci. pontifcal
Camerlcngo, (Chamberlaine) is elected
Pope Cardinal Pecci is an Italian.
The new Pope at once selected the
name Of Leo, and is the 18th of that APP
pellation 1t is good name and, we
trust, well chosen. Some of the most
liberal and enlightened Pc ntiffs have
borne it-notably Leo X.
Cardinal Pecci was the greatest favor
lite of the late Pope, and was born at
Ca1piente in 1870. He was elected to
the Bishopric of Perugia in 1886, upon
the accession of Plus TX, and appointed
Cardinal Priest March 18TH, 1852. Ow-
ing to the Pope's fondness for him, the
willy Antonelli grew jealous, and believ-
ing that his own power and influence
might be jeopardized by Pecci's' popu-
larity, he confined him almost exclusive
ly to his archdiocese of Perugia.
Shortly before Antonelli's death, the
Pope insisted that his favorite should be
stationed closer to his person, and accord
ingly Cardinal Pecci was summoned to
Rome
He is a man of blameless character,
sincerely religious, well versed in eccle-
siastical matters, of moderate conserva-
tive opinions and the possessor ofsfine
executive and business abilities His
forced absence from Rome for so many
years will count much in his favor, by
having removed him from the influence
of the Vatican intrigues which he has
characterized as unworthy of men, Chris
tians and servants of the church.
: He was long Camerlengo of the Pope.
The name Pecci is pronounced ''Pe-
