The resdjusters' convention will meet in
Rictmoud to- morroH. As We have said on
many previous occasions, we have no doubt that
many OF tho rcsc listers are as firmly convinced
OF the correctness of their views on the State
debt question as We are of those we entertain.
But all reasonable men known that the election

Der of Congress will have DO moro eff c. upon
the State debt than the ell cton of the success.
sor to tho King of Timbuotoo would have upon
that same question. We hope therefore that
the con- cleOtIous men among the delegates NAV
be numerous aud Influential enough to prevent

vatlVe vote OF the State. Even suppcsiDg that
what the rea' listers sey about the debt, and
about the WIy they have been treated, be right.
as good democrats, anxious to relieve the
country Of The blight of radicalism and to right
the great wrong done four years ago, they can
not enda0acr the contamination of these de-
sired ends now, wheo everything else is favor,

the exponeDts of tie Alexandria readiusters,
who, like sensible party men and patriotic citi-
zsns, have determined that their duty DOW is
to eloct Democrat, President and Congress,
and that. November, 1881 when there will be
an ell, cIoD for members of the Legislature, will
be the proper time for them to do what they
think best toward settling the deb. question.

NEWS FROM THE CHURCHES
Greenbrier Presbyterv

Met IN Centreville, Monroe county, w Vir-
glnla, September 23d, and was opened with a
sermon by the Moderator, w F. Wilhelm. 1t
was then constituted for business with J. H.
Lewis, Moderator, and Messrs Shearer and
Laird clerks.
All the ministers were present except Mr..
Dunlap, now quite infrm, DIR. Ewing who has
just opened his female school, and Mr.. A.
Sydenstricker, missionary to China. Thirteen
of the thirty-six churches were represented by
elders
Two candidates, in addition to the two already
under our care, were received.
Rev. D. S. Sydenstricker and elder Sherman
Clark, were chosen commissioners to the next
General Assembly
The narrative on the State of Religion reports
no special seasons of revival and smaller num-
Der Of additions, but in many of the churches
steady and healthy growth.
All the enterprises Of the Church appear in
regular working order. And it becomes more
and more manifest thai there is great need of
men and means to occupy the promising fields
now opening in our bounds. This is specially
true Of the whole country along the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, into which Mr..
L. A Mclean has recently entered.
There was petition presented for new
organization at Martins Bottom Pocahontas
county.
The congregations were very large, orderly,
and attentive, and the Christian hospitality and
fellowship unbounded. The two churches of
this place were more than filled on Sunday, and
there was service enough for all the ministers
that remained. Even on Saturday afternoon.
Presbytery felt constrained to suspend business
till the gospel could be preached to the people
that crowded the church.
Mr. Wilhelm remained to aid the pastor, Mr..
Bittenger, in protracted services, and we learn
that already there is considerable interest mani
tested.
The next meeting will be held in Maiden the
lst Wednesday Of May, 1891.

1t is said that expository preaching is
the lazy mans refuge, but it is also true
that in the hands of a faithful student it
is one of the most effective methods of
presenting gospel truth. And Dr. Gra-
ham so used this method as to impress
deeply upon his large congregation his
message, touching the tender chords, and
appealing to the deeper thoughts of the
heart.
A felicity in expression, briliiancy in
diction, large imaginative power, COM

high honor; but its elements of success
were rather spiritual and emotional than

Foreign Preaching at the
Council.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 8Oth, 80.
MeS8rs. E'ditor8,-In the midst of the
learned papers from the few, and the racy
discussions open to all delegates, one re-
grets that the greater number of these
will not be heard from, and especially in
that which is undoubtedly their forte
preaching. But it may be Of interest to
take some critical account of those SER
mons which have been preached by foreign
delegates, to compare these with American
productions, and enquire wherein lies the
secret Of their great popularity. To form
this true, accurate judgment, one must
calmly divest himself Of the proposes
sions by which the common Judgment is
usually colored. The accent so decided
in the different naticnalities, the peculiar
garb, the sometimes quaint, always mark
ed, gesticulation, the foreign names and
titles the order Of a life under different
systems and divergent customs, and the
long distance they have come, all appeal
very strongly to ones imagination. Real
men and women, from lands Of which our
knowledge is the vaguest, appear some
times in the glamour surrounding their
native lands, and we are prone to exalt
provincialisms into marks Of higher cul-

Letter from the University of Virginia

OCTOBER I'd, 1880.
MeSSrS. Editor8,-The Session of 1880
and 1881 opened yesterday. Two hun
dred and seventy-two students took din
ner at the different boarding-houses to-
day, others have arrived on the afternoon
trains, therefore we feel warranted in
saying already there are three hundred
present. This is about fifty more than were
here at the beginning of last session.
Our church is well represented, we have
met three, one from West Virginia, one
from North Carolina, and the other from
Texas, who are studying with a view to
the ministry, and quite a number of min
listers and elders have sons here.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton have an unusually active and large
membership, their reading room is an ex-
ceedingly attractive and pleasant place,
being nicely furnished and well supplied
with the best American and foreign mag
azines and papers.
We are glad to have our chaplain, DR..
Vaughan, with us again. B.

A uANKiTO INTENTION.

Our good friend jacob Bicrbauer, and
W. 4. Rciners, have invented new and
useful improvements in TRAVELLING
Brushes for Middling's Purifiers, and
letters patent were issued To them for
the same, bearing date, Jan. eth. 1880.
This important invention relates to trav-
cling brushes to sweep the bolting-cloth,
and is simple in its construction and
efficient in its operation. The boiling
cloth is swept, at regular intervals, by
these travelling brushes, so that il no
longer fills or clogs, and is always clean
and clear for effective work. 1t is oper.
ated by endless chain belts carrying
journals for the ends Of the shaft. This
invention is of great importance to the
milling craft, and will undoubtedly
prove a profitable one to the inventors
