Y. NJ. c. A. MEETINGS Dis
trict Conference of the Young Mems
Christian Association which was
held in this city Friday and Satur-
day of last week, and ended on Sui
day of this week was one OF the most
delightful and well-spent Of all meet
ines Of this character which was
ever held in this city. Delegates
were here from Baltimore, Washing
ton, Frederick, Hagerstown Win
chester and many other places The
first session was held at the NJ. E.
Church South, on Friday evening,
and was conducted by w. G. Bire
w. of Frederick. The address ofwel-
come this evening was to have been
delivered by Senator Faulkner, who,
unfortunately, was unable to leave
Washington. Rev. G. S. Trump
made happy address in his place.
Mr.. E S. Eichelberger of Frederick,
made the response. Rev. e. B. Bog
by delivered the principal address of
the evening.
Exercises were held during Sat
urday, on which day the principal
business of the Conference was tran
sacted.
On Sunday the exercises were al
together devotional, and every SEES
sion of the day was largely attended.

meeting at the Baptist church at s
q. M. after which all the delegates
scattered and visited all the Sabbath
Schools of the city, making address
es and giving short talks. At 245
p. m. the following services were
held: Meeting for boys at the Bap-
fist church. This was well-attend-
ed, and its immediate fruits were
manifested by seventeen boys ask
ing for the prayers of the conven-
ton. The meeting for women at the
Presbyterian church was conducted
by James E. Pugh, Of Washington.
The interests of mothers and sisters
in the welfare of their sons and
brothers was plainly manifested by
their close attention and earnest
countenances, and bespoke the will
ingness of the ladies of our city to
aid in any effort to redeem fallen
man and protect our youths. They
were assured that an opportunity
would be given them to help on the
interests of the Y. NJ. c. a. in this
place.
The meeting for men at the Gen.
trail Opera House at p. m. was adj
dressed by Mr.. G. B. Titus, OF Wash
ington, whose pleas for the young
men of this city met with good re-
suits. There was farewell meeting
held at the First NJ. E. church in the
evening after the usual services in all
other churches had been concluded,
in which many Of the pastors of the
city and the visiting delegates made
short addresses. Many of the re-
marks both at this and other meet
ings showed the necessity for the re-
establishment of the Y. M. G. A. at
this place by having secretary con
tinually at work and having nothing
to do but look after the interest of
the young men. 1t has been determ-
ined to have meetings each Sunday
hereafter at the various churches at
| Ais p. m. All are invited.

The Wheeling Register, comment
ing on the result of the second trial
of DR.. Garrison for the murder OF
DR.. Baird, scores the jurors for not
coming to an agreement, claiming
that the minority ought to acquiesce
with the majority, or a compromise
be effected. The Intelhgsncer, in
reply, thought every juror should,
under his oath and conscience, judge
for himself This is true and cor
rect, no matter whether the jury sys-
TEN be abolished or not. The bent
of mems minds differ, even in meth
cd of work and diet, and it has long
been written "that if there is any
thing beyond the fore knowledge of
Goo, it is the verdict of a petit
jury Jurors should, however, be
conscientious, look to the enforce
ment of the law and the abrogation
of the knife and the pistol, as mat
ter of protection to citizens. Jurors
vary in judgment, apply facts differ
emily, but prejudice and politics
should never go into the jury room,
and jury should never stultify it.
self by finding a verdict against a
man of simple assault when weapon
is used in making the assault. That
would be plain, open, downright stul-
LITIGATION and disregard of penal law.
In a recent case here, we are inform
ed that juror openly asserted that
he was not going to send the accus.
ed to the penitentiary because that
would lose one vote. Such a man,
with such ideas of propriety, of
judgement, Of law, of protection
to society, and of conscientious ac-
ton under oath, does not present a
very fair showing of either man
hood, citizenship, mental culture, or
God fearing liability and there should
be some law to reach such Jurors.

we also know, that the State is an

are full of men who would like to
honor those gentlemen by giving

far as is in their power to do so, for
reasons that are logical in every
sense, uiz: they are both young men,
born and reared in Berkeley, have
attained their business qualifications
through their own industry and de-
votion to study; they have won the
confidence and esteem of the people
by their straightforward course and
they have won the admiration of the
people by their geniality, manliness

of the people. Put them to the
front, and the people will whoop
them up.
