The District COME renee of the German
Baptlsts, (Iunkerl, " as held at Timbervlle
Rockingham county, on the 18th and 18th OF
this month. This co inference is made IN of a
delegation from each. individual church of the
counties OF Rockbr idge, Augusta Rocking

OF Pendleton. A full delegation were present
from each county except Page. The object OF
this meeting was first to consider all local mat
ter pertaining to the church, which is pre-
scented by query or queries from the differ
ent churches, and when query is presented
OF general nature it is sent to our annual
meeting for a decision. Then it becomes a
general law for the church, when based on the
gospel, to sustain it.
The business of this conference was to elect
from this district, No. Virginia conference,
two bishops to the standing committee as
representatives and one delegate to present
the business as acted upon in the conference.
The bishops selected were Isaac Long OF
the delegate, Geo. Fl. Myers. All are allowrd
to deliberate on any subject that is presented
In either of these conferences. All the bust
ness presented was passed to the satisfaction
OF the large body OF members present. One
query will be sent to the annual meeting.

The Fairfax Messenger is informed hereby that
the VIRGINIAN discussed the Constitutional
Amendments in all their bearings at the time
they were before the people for adoption, and
faith and constitutional command, involved
in their adoption. They were carried by a
device of the Conservative party, through the
then Chairman of their Executive Commit
tee, Col. N. B. Meade, who sent out litho-
graphed tickets, For the Amendments" and
these tickets were placed in the hands of Con-
servative voters for them to put in the ballot
box. This they did, without really knowing
what they were voting for. In this way the
amendments were carried.

The operations ofthe Treasury Department
within the past two months have developed
the fact that the people of the country are
ready and anxious to loan the government
5000 100000, bearing 81 per cent. interest an
nually and redeemable at the pleasure of the
government. That is what converting the 6s
and IS into 81 per cent. bonds means. 1t is a
remarkable transaction, and has very naturally
excited the admiration and wonder of the
American people, and extracted from the high
est financial authorities of Europe tribute to
the craftsmanship of our finance Secretary and
the enterprise and prosperity of the American
DeOnle.

In conversation with a gentleman yester-
day, just from New York, he informed us
that the almost universal sentiment of the
people of that State and the North was against
Messrs. Conkling and Platt in their late move
ment. He gave it as his opinion that neither
of them would be reelected, and the proba-
bility was that Ex-Gov. Fenton and Ex-Gov.
Morgan would succeed them. The people,
and especially the Republicans, of New York,
are aroused and have no idea of allowing the
atfront offered them in the resignation of the
Senators to go unrebuked.

We were surprised to see in the Richmond
| State communication taken from the In
dianapolis. Ind, Journal. signed by S. T..
Conner Mr.. Conner, it seems, is Chair
man of Republican County Committee,
or at least that is the way he signs his
name, and was in that position during the
last Presidential election. He applied for
position as special agent in the Post Office
Department, and was refused. Upon this
provocation, he unfolds, as he says, the
corrupt methods by which the Republicans
carried the State. The whole statement
bears upon its face improbability and false
hood, and taken in connection with
the motives which directed in the prepara-
ton of this communication, the charges are
not entitled to feathers weight The
State is usually so fair and Independent,
that the appearance of this communication
! in its columns was matter of surprise to
us, and the only excuse we can imagine for
it, was the very hot weather prevailing at
the time, which prevented the editor from
critically examining it.
1t is stated in the newspapers that the
raid OF Senator Malone upon the small post
offices in Virginia is to be stopped. 1t
should never have been begun, and where
Republicans have been displaced by Read
justers, the wrong should be at once cor
reeted. The Republicans of the State are
entitled to the Federal patronage. where
competent persons can be found to fill the
offices. The administration cannot lose
anything by sticking to its friends.

The loyalty of the people of the country
North and South-to the government could
not be more emphatically expressed than it
has been in the issue between the President
and Senator Conkling. 1t, is not from any
party standpoint, or party consideration, that
the President is sustained with unparalleled
unanimity; but from a deep reverence and
love for the government and the rights and
dignity of its chief executive. And this from
no personal or political dislike to Mr.. Conk
ling, only as he appears in the present CON
test. Democrats and Republicans perfect
accord, stand by the President, and demand
that he shall protect and defend the preroga-
tiyes of his office.
