LAY DELEGATES.
The Lay Electoral Conference will
meet at 0 n. III. Their chief business
will be to elect two representatives to
the next General Conference, that
meets next May.
Much interest is taken in the election
OF the lay delegates to the General Con.
ference. The candidates from the
upper end OF the State have been more
canvassed than those from the lower.
Captain McWhorter, OF Charleston, was
thought yesterday to be strong among
the lower end probabilities, but mem
bers said that there had been us
yet no opportunity to Judge OF the lay
OF the land in that direction. There
has been n strong desire on the part OF
some active men TO select Henry h.
List. OF this city, rs OF the delegates,
but Mr.. List has declined to be n candi-
date. Hon. Is. F. Martin, oil Taylor
county, and Hon. George G. Sturgiss, OF
Monongalia, arc regarded as good tim
Der, but these gentlemen have, both Ind
the honor, and being lawyers, it is ar
gued that this is not their year. Tho
friends OF Mr.. II. r. McGregor, of Thorn
sol church, this city, would like to see
him and their church honored. II II
Wheeling man be chosen they think he
should not DO taken from Fourth Street,
which has had the honor every time it
came to Wheeling except once, when

General Conference. They say further
that n business man should be chosen,
the lawyers having supplied twelve out
OF the fourteen delegates heretofore
elected.

reference to the university and its
works, as he expected to return to that
institution this morning on the early

the young people. This institution
was founded fifty years ago by few
men who did not have ten dollars to
give to the founding OF the school.
During these fifty years over $1,000

1000 ministers have gone out from this
school to preach the gospel. 1t now
