NAV Vote Ry Electricity.

The House committee on rules
rules, says the Baltimore Sun, yester-
day gave hearing to John A. Enos,
an inventor, who seeks to have an
appropriation of 5000 made to de-
fray the cost of installing his patent
electric voting machine in the House
of Representative at Washington.
Mr.. Enos explained the workings OF
his machine, and brought to the at
tention of the committee some facts
to demonstrate its probable utility
and economy. He stated, for instance,
that during this session there have
been over 800 ll-calls, each consum-
ing thirty minutes time. or an aggre-
gate of thirty working days; and he
asserts, by the use OF his machine,
twenty-five days could have been
saved. The committee took the
matter under advisement.

Pulaski is Il beautiful town will
aspirations.
Among the enterprises may be men
toned the Bertha Zinc Works and
one furnace, making about 100 tons
OF iron per day. Pulaski is destined
to become place of considerable i'm
portance. hence the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society, of Southwest Vir,
ginia Synod has displayed great Wis
dom in planting Il church there Sc
early. The church is, in style, gothic,
finished inside in natural wood. The
main auditorium will seat about 400
people, and the Sunday school room
is so arranged that the two can, when
necessary, be thrown together, thus
giving seating capacity OF over 800.
The church was built asa memorial
of the Woman's Missionary Society of
the Lutheran Church in Southwest
Virginia. And to further the noble
cause liberal contributions were
made by the st. Marks Society Of
Roanoke. Others in the synod came
up nobly to the cause, and contribu-

rion Female College, read the scrip
lures
DR.. l.. a. Fox, OF Salem, preached
the sermon of the day. The doctor
gave full exposition OF Gods or
ganization OF the church and told all
their duty toward the church which
they protested to love and cherish.
After the sermon Pastor Bushnell ad.
dressed the congregation upon the
needs of the church. The most inl-
portant was to raise the balance still
due on the churchly editice.
After laying the mother upon thelr
hearts, as he only can do, ne called for
voluntary pledges. The necessary
amount WAS soon raised by the
energy OF Pastor Bushnell. The con-
secration OF the building to the SER
vice OF God as house Of worship was
done by Rev. w. +. Hubert. A large
appreciative congregation was pres
ent. The night service was very inter
esting. A sermon was preached by
Pastor Bushnell, OF st. Marks, who
preached from John I,3, He showed
the greatness OF Gods love, its free
bestowal upon all who come unto
saving knowledge OF it.
Great and good results are expected
from the founding of this church in
the Southwest OF Virginia. Revs. w.
b. Oney, of Floyd Court House, and
l.. p. Sherer, of Marion, were present
and took part in the services.

Edward Darlington Venable democrat
from the Fourth district In Virginia, 10
which he was fairly elected by a majority
of o4a votes, and given the seat to John
Mercer Langston, negro republican, who
was defeated b. the people. This Is an,
other one of the damnablc outrages that
viii stamp this congress as one Of the most
Infamous that ever convened In civilized
country. The voice o.the people In about
dozen congressional districts have been
as effeetually stlfled and smothered out by
the bold and daring mob of reyou'lonlsts
who now hold high political carnival In
the halls OF congress as was done by a
similar couelavc In 1870 when "fraud tirs,
triumphant In American history" was
contaminated by the counting out o,
Samuel J. Tilden, duly elected by a ma.
jority of over qualter million of voters
for president and the counting In ei Hayes
who had been rejected By the people at the
polls, Does any one doubt what these de'
perate republican leaders would do II they
can secure the passage OF the Infamous
torce billl The voice OF the people In nC
congressional district would ever be per
mtted to be expressed adversely to them
had they the election machinery In thel
hands as contemplated In that blu, Th'

eroaehments upon the dearest rights Of

gress have frankly admitted that tn,
decision of this contested ease was no
made upon the ground that Laug.ton wa
entitled to the seat but because, 10 them,
