correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatchl
MAY lG, 1879.
The largest religious and ccclcsias-
teal convention ever held in Virginia
will meet at Broadway, Rockingham
county, Va, commencing on the I'd
day of June next, and lasting for the
period of four days. 1t is the annual
meeting Of the religious sect known as
Tunkers-or, as they prefer TO be called
German Baptists. Preparations ARE
now going actively forward for this great
gathering of this singular people. The
Spirit ofthe Valley printed in Harrison
burg, will tomorrow contain foil ac-
count Of the incidental preparations
making Tor this monster meeting. The
entire Church in the United States and
the Canadas will be represented. besides
a representative from England. Special
trains Of passenger cars will be run
through from Chicago, st. Louis, and
other large cities in the West, bringing
thousands of this sturdy, plain, indie
pendent, supplemented people from
remote points. The meeting is exct-
ing uncommon interest in all the coun-
ties in the Shenandoah Valley, and the
brethren" are occupied in the erection
of the necessary buildings for the ac-
commodation Of the anticipated assem-
blage.
About two hundred men were en-
gagged few days ago IN putting up a
dining-room on the ground selected for
the conference. II is the largest build
ing IN the county, being l50x4S feet,
and will seat at the tables eight hum
bred persons. Outside Of tins building
there is a cooking room Of forty feet,
with two boilers nine feet long, twenty
seven feet wide, and eighteen inches
deep. with three boilers halt this size.
An idea of the magnitude Of the pre-
parations for the spirit Of hospitality 10
be INDUCED on the occasion may be
formed from the fact that arrangements
are made for baking 1900 pounds OF
bread, cooking 1000 pounds Of bacon,
90, OcO pounds of beef. 1900 pounds Of
butter, $50 gallons of apple-butter, 500
dozen assorted pickles, 400 pounds of
coffee, 900 pounds Of sugar. 10 pounds
of tea, besides milk, &C., &c, in abun-
bance and without limit.
The enterprising ploprietors of The
Spirit 0fMe Valley will have a printing
press and types on the spot to report
the daily proceedings, and we presume
the numerous readers of the Dispatch
in Virginia and throughout the South
will also be represented.

RICHMOND, VA, May 14.-ln the
United States Circuit Court to-day a
writ Of habeas corpus in the miscegena'
ton case of the negro, Edmund Kinney
and the white woman, Mary Hall, now
confined in the penltentiary for viola
ton of the statute prohibiting the inter-
marriage of races, was refused by Judge
Hughes on the ground that the United
States courts have no jurisdiction over
questions of marriage. The opinion
holds that the laws of marriage are at
the sovereign control and will of each
State, unaffected by any provision OF
any article of the constitution OF the
United States that absolute and entire
power over these laws is necessarily left
all over the world and in this Union OF
States to the government OF local socie-
tv; that the law under which the par
ties were convicted was within the I'M
restrained legislative power Of the State
TO enact it. and that 1t is not prohibited
by any provision Of the national con-
stitution. AS to making contracts, the
opinion holds that section 1917 OF Re
v:sed Statutes, which secures to all per-
sons within the United States the right
in every State to make and enforce con-
tracts, &C., each only refer to contracts
lawful under the law Of the States
wherein it is proposed to enforce them.
Admitting that marriage is a contract,
the opinion holds that the privilege OF
enforcing it extends only to lawful
marriages, and that if citizen OF
Virginia went to the District OF Colum-
bla or to the Territory Of Utah and " as
there married in accordance with the
local law he could not return with his
consort or consorts to Virginia and eX-
pect to subordinate her laws Of mar
riage to the laws of the other jurisdic-
ton. The case will probably be taken
to the Supreme Court OF the United
States.

Stone Of ST. Lukes Evangelical Lutheran
Church now in process Of erection on
the head waters of Narrow Passage
Greek, miles north east of Columbia
Furnace, on May the Sth 1879. We
repaired to the grove early in the day
when we discovered that the good peo-
pie Of the neighbourhood had prepared
good seats for the accommodation Of the
congregation and stand for the mir,is
tiers. The sermon for the occ. aston.
was preached by Brother ]. A. snyder

good things of this Gfe)May he long 1--we
and in the hand Of the great Head OF
the Church be blessing to his flock.
After the serpIon we repaired to the
ground where the corner stone was
laid with appropriate services. Brother
p. Miller preacher IN charge, officiating,
assisted by Bro. Snyder. The corner
stone is beautiful blue lime stone dress

dismissed, some to there homes, others
to the grove, where all seemed to enjoy
themselves, in devouring the contents
of their baskets. Your correspondent
il this time examined the foundation
wall of the church, built by Jos. Holler
which Is built of blne lime stone and is
the finest we ever saw. Jos. is mas
ter of his trade, the house is to be con-
crete. At 2 O'Clock we were addressed
by p. Miller, in his usual impressive
style, with which all present were
highly pleased and we trust much
benefited. At the conclusion OF the
services we all returned home
we'll pleased with the exercises Of the

The directors of the American anC

of the Association here. to whom will
be intrustcd the duty Of funding the old
bonds for new once under the law pass
ed BY he General Assembly last win
ter. 1t is quite well known that the
money with which to pay the January
interest on the new bonds will have TO
be borrowed by the State. and Mr.. john
b. Davis, Of this city, will 10 doubt be
the man who will be applied to, to make
the necessary loan. There IS not now,
nor will there be. sufficient money in
the State treasury when the work is
done to meet the Indebtedness to the
American Printing Company, the en-
gravers of the bonds. A loan for this
purpose will no doubt be negotiated
with the Planters or the First Nation =
al Bank. The work Of refunding the
debt will nearly all be done through
the means of the New York banks. who
will forward the old bonds to the Rich

ones.
