NORTH SIDE, Va, Nov. 29, 1879.
MesSrs. Editors,-Allow me to thank
you for your kindly and effective recon-
mendation of my appeal for help to the
Columbia church. / gratefully acknow-
ledge the receipt of $40 from the Farm
pilLe church.
As this appeal has borne such good
and early fruit, 1 beg the use of your col
umns to make practical suggestion to all
our churches, and especially the larger
and stronger ones.
Can they not appropriate their a0hote
collection, on some appointed day. to one
or the other of the very deserving cases
brought to their attention through your
agency? What would be a small sum to
them, thus raised, would be Of untold
value to these weak churches.
In this connection, l cannot refrain
from expressing my qualification at the
hearty spirit you have always manifested
in giving prominence to all such appeals
as mine and others. You have little idea
how greatly it adds to the popularity and
value Of your paper.
Fraternslly yours, L. B. JOHNSTON.

snndav School Mass Meeting.

MeSSrS. EdltOrS,-It would have done
your hearts good to have witnessed such
a sight as greeted our eyes on a late Sun
day afternoon. 1t was the occasion of the
annual mass meeting of all the Presbyte-
rian Sunday Schools of Norfolk, Ports
mouth and vicinity. For some years past
it has been our custom so bring our yari-
Gus schools together once a year in mass
meeting, and to invite some good Sunday
School speaker from abroad to address
the children. Such meeting was held
in the First Presbyterian church of Nor
folk. 1t was lovely day. The weather
was charming. Everything betokened a
large attendance and a delightful meet
ing The presence of a thousand chill
dren was in itself lovely sight, inspiring
to speaker and hearers.
The Rev ]. P. Smith, of Fredericks-
burg by invitation, was present, and de-
ivered the address. His subject was
The Beautiful Names of Jesus" He
dwelt chiefly on the title of Good Shep-
herd. The address was well received
by all, and especially by the children,
who are generally good judges of |Chil-
dren's Sermons. The hearts of all were
stirred, and, we doubt not, cheered by
what they saw and heard.
At night Mr. Smith, in the capacity of
Superintendent of Sunday Schools of the
Presbytery, to which Office he was recent
ly chosen, met and addressed a large con-
gregation of Sunday School teachers and
workers at the End Presbyterian church.
Such visits from the Presbytery's Super
intendent, we feel assured, would tend
greatly to awaken new interest in all our
Sunday Schools
The next time we have a mass meeting
you must come and see and hear for your
selves. R.

The Belgian system of towing has been tried
experimentally on the Erie Canal with sue
cess which augurs well for decided increase in
the efficiency Of the canal for transportation pur-
poses in the future. A feet of boats has come
through from Buffalo to Rochester, ninety-six
miles, in thirty-nine hours Two miles and
half an hour does not offer severe competition
with the railroad in point ofspeed; but it aver
ages nearly mile an hour better than the mule.
In the Belgian system a wire rope stretched
along the canal and run between wheels on the
canal boat the power is applied to these wheels;
and thus the boat is made to pull itself along by
a sort of hand-over-hand process. The canal
boat is a steamboat with wheels working in the
air on wire rope instead of in and on the water

A Washington correspondent, under date Of
May 1st, puts il this way:
The disease OF the Democrats to-day is
Diagnosed by some OF their own party men
as acute chrome Generalization, 'superinduced
by being heavily Get down upon by one Hayes
Somo OF the party doctors advise heroic treat
ment, and insist that that Is the only way to
save the hfe OF the patient. Others want to
administer homeopathic doses OF soothing
syrup compounded by the eclectic doctors
stephens ef al. But the doctors disagree and
are consulting the case. Whilst they are irving
to agree upon mode OF treatment, their
Democratic patient will relapse into delirlum,
aud, struggling IN this morbid condition, will
lacerate and brulse itself by contact with its
robust, healthy, compact Republican keeper
The consultation or doctors, thus far held
have been very unsatisfactory. Conflicting
theories and opinions have been freely ven
tilated. The differences are radical. Some
are inclined to give up the ghost others say
kill or cure with heroic treatment. The inter-
mediate class believe it will be best to prescribe
weak diet, send the patient to the country, and
trust to luck. A good deal OF personal animos-
ity has already been engendered among the
Democrats, growing out OF the differences AZ
TO the best policy for the party to pursue.

IT is worth while for the Legislature, before
adjournment, to carefully consider the present
provisions Of our vsgrant law and the question
whether it is not desirable to enact more strin-
gent measures against the class OF vagrants
commonly known As tramps. In the farming
sections of the community tho tramps are an
intolerable, and, as things are now, an alto
gether unnecessary, nuisance. They endanger
property in various ways, aud keep the women
in solitary farm-houses in state of terror.
Against those who will not take employment
when 1t is offered them, but who lead from
choice life Of idleness and depreciation, the
community should be protected by well guarded
but stringent legislation. Other ststes, both
east and west OF us, have passed laws which
have proved effective, and which have served
to either set the tramps at work or drive them
beyond their borders, and Michigan, as a matter
OF self-protection, should do the same.-De-
troit Post and Tribune.

After the veto, the Democrats held caucus
to Jnsider the message, and decide upon the
course to be pursued by the revolutionists
Mills, Of Texas, in the course OF some remarks
thought the party could not afford to back
down and recede from the position taken in
relation to the appropriation bills. This
brought Alexander H. Stephens to his feet,
who said:
disapprove Of the policy OF putting the re-
peal clauses or political matters, as riders
upon appropriation bills. Still, as a majority
OF Congress thought proper so to do they had
the right to do 1t. 1t was question OF policy
rather than OF power and right. Congress, in
appropriating money for the support of the
army, had right to designate the purpo sc for
which 1t should be applied. The President had
an equal constitutional right to withhold bis
approval OF any act OF this character, or any
other that shall be passed by Congress.
think the view expressed by the President in
his message, that the effect Of the proposed
legislation would trammel the civil authority
IN the execution of legal process was strained.
Still recognize the constitutional right of the
President TO veto the measure il he saw fit. as
fully as l recognize the right of Congress to
pass it. The great question is, Shall appro-
priations for the support or the army now be
withheld because OF the interposition OF the
Executive veto ? think not
Mr. Stephens concluded his remarks before
the committee, as follows:
am and ever have been and ever shall be
law-and-order man, and for maintaining the
constitutional functions Of the government in
its every department. do not think il would
be wise or polite in Congress to withhold the
necessary supplies because the President sees
fit, for any reason, to exercise his constitution
al right OF interposing a veto. Ny opinion is.
also, that there should be no factious ON pos,-
ton TO the Presidential veto, but that these
differences should be accommodated. if possi-
bic, aud that Congress should go to work, with
out further agitation OF sectional questions.
upon those great measures of relief both finan-
ciaI and otherwise, for which the country ia so
hopefully looking
1t is quite probable that this speech OF Mr..
Stephens has settled the revolution business.
80 far as this session OF Congress is concerned.
Ii is plain that without Mr.. Stephens and those
who follow his lead the revolutionists are
powerless to carry out their programme.
