SALARIES PAID METHODIST PAsToP;s.
Rev. A. G. Bledsoe writes to the n

to the pay of pastors in the M. E. Church
as follows:
can article appeared in your paper a

gard to the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, within the bounds of the Virginia
Conference, which were erroneous, and
which [ beg leave to correct. 1t was sta
ted that only three churches paid their
pastors as much as 81 800, viz: Court
street, Lynchburg; Centenary, Richmond;
and Market-sJreet, Petersburg. The facts
are that ten churches paid their pastors
during the past year 81, 800 and upwards,
namely: Trinity, Richn ond, 81, $40; Cen
tenary, Richmond, 50 $50; Broad-street,

WARM SPRINGS, VA, Feb. IA, 1881.
Yesterday at one o'clock, P. M, the
beautiful residence of Capt. A. T. Rich
ards, known as Ivy Cliff situated one
mile from this place, Was discovered 90 be
on fire. The wind Was blowing furlously,
and in consequence, the flames spread
through the building very rapidly. The
nelghborS went to the assistance OF Capt.
Richards, but they could not arrest the
rapid progress Of the fire Nearly ali Of
the household and kitchen furniture was
saved before the roof of the building fell
in. The house was q frame one, and was
entirely consumed in two hours after the
fire was first seen. There was no insur-
ance, and the loss is about 1000. Mr.. j.
5. Richards, who has been an invalid for
en- wears, was at the time of the fire con-
fined to his bed and had to be taken to the
hotel building of Col. Eubank, where be
was kindly cared for.
The Presbyterian congregation at this
place succeeded during last summer and
fall In building a comfortable parsonage,
The expenses of the building bore quite
hald on the small membership here. and
as the church needed some expensive re-
pairs, it was found that the work of re
pairing the church would have to be post

made known to Mrs. j. l.. Eubank, sne

soon as the weather will permit, the work
of repairs will be commenced.

THE CLOSING DAYS or CAR1Y1E.-

The CLOSING DAYS OF CARLYLE
Now that Carlyle is dead everything con-
nected with his habits, traits, and idlosyn-
crasies have additional interest. The life
of any noted person always gains addition
al attractiveness from the fact that it has

WHAT THE REPUBLICANS Elk
PECT OF DEMOCRATIC READ
JUSTERS IN A PARTY


Ex-senator John F. Lewis of Virginia
has addressed to President-elect Garfield
an exceedingly frank letter containing his
views about, among other things, what is
to be gained by the Republican party in
Virginia in a party sense by abstention
from running Republican State ticket
next fall One gain expected is the alb
sorption by the Republican party of the
Democratic Readjusters of the State. This
seems to be so plain to Mr.. Lewis chat he
says of these Readiusters that ''Their ten
dency is now so clear towards the Repub-
lican party that unless REFUSED by selfish
politicians they will inevitably draw
up within its ranks" This will doubtless
surprise our Democratic Readiuster friends
but not more than Senator Lewis frank
statement of the benefit his party is to
gain through their aid in the repeal of the
poll tax restriction. This repeal being ac-
complished he thinks that with suffrage
thus untrammeled, and from forty to fifty
Thousand colored voters re-enfranchised
and with even small portion of the Lib
eral Readjusters, our State will surely be
found in the Republican ranks in 1854
While Mr.. Lewis does not say so we can
yet imagine the sly joy that filled the heart
of that genuine old hater of the Democra-
cy while he was penning a paragraph show
ing that the tendency of the acts of the
followers of Gen. Malone in Virginia is
to place the State in the Republican ranks
SIN 1884,
Mr.. Lewis letter may have an excellent
effect on Mr.. Garfield but its effect on the
Democratic Readjusters in Virginia will
not be as atisfactory. The mass of Vir-
glnia Readjusters have never contemplated
giving the State to Republicans either in
1880, in 1881, or ssin 1884, They want
the State debt adjusted and if solution
of that question is agreed upon by the
Democracy no coalition that can be
Matched up between the leaders of the two
rival parties will be strong enough to beat
the regular ticket.
We said some weeks ago that the De-
mocracy of this State will not know who
they have to fight until President Garfield
has recognized one the two wings of the
Republican party In the State. If the Lew
is wing is recognized by him then we will
have coalition in our front; if the Wick
BAN wing, then we will have straight out
light of Democrats. Republicans and per-
haps ticket of Readjusters.
AS a matter interest we copy Mr.. Lewis
plan for this years campaign. He says:
my plan is for our party to hold con-
| vention after the other two parties have
| neld theirs; and if the Readjusters reafirm
heir liberal platform and the Bourbons
re-affirm their intolerant and proscriptive
platform. that we should then adjourn our
convention, declaring it inexpedient to
,lace a State ticket in the field, on the
round OF our inability to make even a
how of success and on account of the
danger of smothering the liberal sentiment
low beginning to make itself felt"
