Greece and Africa.
During the discussion OF THE Faith Once

hoped God would direct his brethren OF the
Northern church uow in session, and keep
them true 10 the faith once delivered 70 the
saints. The assembly is clearly opposed to
revision.

ment money has already been expended
upon IT, az part of it will be road from
the national capital TO the national ceme-
terry at Arlington, and the other part road
from that cemetery to the tomb of Washing
ion, there is no necessity for a epscial bill to
secure an appropriation for the work, as
that object can be the more easily attained
by q simple provision in one of the regular
appropriation bills. Both the Senators re-
ferred to agreed With MIR. Barbour. aud 1t
was practically determined that when the
sundry civil bill shall come before the Ser
ate appropriations committee il shall be

conditions than exist there" And he
said this though es an intelligent man ne
must know that oupital is flowing into the

are deferred from coming, is the presence OF
the negroes, and the condition that pres
