FRIDAY MORNING. AUG, 81. 1879.


tive State Central Committee IN Rich
mond last week, superfuous, the authority
debateable, and the expediency dubious,
and it may congratulate itself that in put
ting it's opinions in practice it has done SO
in the direction of popular sentiment,
which is fortunate road to take IN such
cases. It seems to have been a case OF
political lynch law, where the good citi-
zens had been so long troubled by pestilen-
tial demagogues, that they suddenly
determined to hamstring them and limit
their capacity for harm.
It was superfuous, however, because the
men it proposes to exclude from the party,
we think we aresafe in saying, would have
refused to submit to it's organization, III
any event where they could not control
it.
Its authority is debateable, for it has
not been considered by the people within
the province of Central Committee to
declare and make test questions for them.
These tests are applied by the people
themselves at their primary meetings held
ton.
And inexpedient, because the exercise Of
the authority claimed may at any time be
fraught with great danger to the party,
and because in this case it will enable men
who were already determined to leave the
organization, to leave it with theory of per-
secution.
The protest of Gen. Groner and DIR.
Wise, the two dissenting members will be
published next week.
We give the resolutions adopted by the
Central Committee and also issue in an
extra their address on the debt. This lat
ter document we hope every one will read
carefully and preserve. We speak within
bounds when we say that as frank, full,
able and honest treatment of the question
it exceeds any document yet put forth.
The Sprague- Conkling scandal is filling
the newspapers. 1t appears that while ex-
Gov. Sprague lives in Rhode Island his
wife lives in Washington, and that while
Senator Conkling lives in Washington his
wife lives in Utica, N. Y. Senator Conk
ling's devotion to Mrs. S. in the absence
Of her husband and her reception of this
devotion was so defiant of public opinion
in Washington last winter that it became
the theme for scandal by the newspaper
correspondents. Last Friday afternoon
Gov. Sprague returning from an absence
went to his home at Conanchet, r. L. and
finding Senator Conkling sitting there, got
a shot gun and ordered him from the
house. Conkling left and soon Sprague
was going down the road hunting for him.
still carrying his gun, but couldn't find
him. Ex-Gov. Sprague says that anybody
who reads the papers knows what he ordered
Conkling off for. Mrs. Sprague says Conk-
ling was there on legal business, and SEN
ator Conkling says it was German music
teacher that Sprague was after.
It is a commentary on the independence
of the Metropolitan press, which hunts out
everything of the kind, that for twenty
for hours the s.Herald,'' Fitness and
ssTribune'' refrained through the influence
of Conkling friends from publishing the
facts of the case as far as they had come
out.

AN IMPORTANT SALE no O,r n

AN IMPORTANT SALE TO OIrp ZAP.
MERs.-Gen. Gilbert s. Meem, of Sbenan-
doah, of whose sale of thoroughbred sheen
and cattle on Wednesday, next. orr
our readers have seen advertised is doina
a great work for the Valley. Since The.
nrse OF these sales, which took place last,
August, we have copied from different
virginia papers, many notices of the prof.
liable way in which the purchases, then
made by our farmers, turned out. Au-
gusta county was well represented at that
sale and will be. we hope, still more largely
at This one. We learn by letter from Gen.
MeeA, who is in Kentucky purchasing
cattle for the coming sale, that on
the 7th inst, he purchased forty head
OF splendid Kentucky short horrs
which have been sent to Virginia. The ar
fapgements at ''Strath.noor," Gen. M. %
farm, in Shenandoah, for the comfort of
purchasers are of the most convenient and
generous character, and those who attend
the sale will leave Staunton on a sneciat
train on the Valley RAILROAD at 1920 A. M
and in two and half hours be landed
within hundred yards of the auction
grounds,

impressed with these truths, lately, when
in preaching funeral sermon, within
sight of the spires of Staunton, he adj
dressed congregation that he felt conf
dent didn't hear sermon once in twelve
months.
MI. R. P. Andrews, Vice President OF
Mt. Meridian Association said, relative to
prayer meetings, that the pastor Of Mt.
Horeb (Rev. T. NJ. Boyd) had informed
his Association that if they would select
u locality, he would preach there every
week and the offer had been accepted. Mr..
A. attributed the origin and growth of
his Association to prayer meetings held by
some young hands at it, noteighteen years
of age, and that Mt. Meridian Association
to-day numbered IS members.
The NEXT topic was
''HoW SHALL WE CONDUCT THE WORK
THROUGHOUT THE STATE"
and Mr.. T. D. Ransom opened the debate,
He said the object of a State Association
was to establish and foster Associations In
the State. The idea Of starting other As
sociations is no idle sentiment, as had
been intimated here last night, it is the
very spirit of the Gospel. Nor did he be-
lieve that it was an idle enterprise now en-
enlisting successful and industrious BUSH
ness men everywhere in the ranks af AS
sociaticns. Such men dig not engage In
idle enterprises, No idle, aimless work
could enlist, as tho Associations had done,
one hundred thousand of the best young
men in the country, forgetting their diff
ferent creeds in common Christianity,
and the speaker could not see where ridi
Guile of any sort could be used towards
such work, Mr.. Ransom then went on
to show the benefit Of a State Association,
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1879-08-15

of Churchville, as cited by Mr.. Moffett
shows an admirable field. That cited by
Mr.. Wilson, Of Rockingham. shows
another field, though of different sort.
Something ought to be done for Harrison
burg. If an Association was started there
its influence would be felt in that county.
An Association can do much work that
the denominations cannot do. The erec-
ton of "Pines Chapel'' by the Greenville
Association showed this. No one demo
mination, be thought, could have carried
that enterprise to a successful end.
Mr.. A. G. Christian. of Greenville,
thought it would be good idea FOR each
member to think what he could do to pro-
mote the work, if only to talk Association
work and fix on one certain day in the
week to do that Such course would
make the Association known to everybody,
which is an important thing. Even IN the
town of Greenyille, the worthy old post
master there, in calling out his mail, came
to ~. M. G. A." and exclaimed, "Y. M.
&. A.! who the -- is Y. M. 4. Az"
(laughter.l
Rev. J. Rice Bowman, of Harrisonburg,
said they had had Y. M. G. Association
in Harrisonburg, but there was none now.
Not being gifted with Immortality it had
died :(laughter). He could give no par
t,cular reason for its death save this. He
had heard this evening much about Asso-
citation soork, but all he could learn Of this
work, from what had been said was that
1t was for one Association TO start another
Association Qaughterl, a sort Of mis-
siopary work. He had, however, heard it
repeatedly said that there was no conflict
between the Association and the Church.
He couldn't see how, if it was a Christian
Association, there could be. You call
