The Sunod Of Tfrgtnia.

The Synod of Virginia convened at
Charleston Tuesday night OF Last week-the
l0Sth annual session. 1t comprises twelve
Presbyteries, and includes the territory OF
Virginia, West Virginia, part of Mary
land and the District of Columbia. At a
full meeting there would be four hundred
members, but two hundred is about the
usual attendance About 100 answered to
roll call. Rev. Dr. r. H. Fleming, the re-
firing moderator, preached the Introductory
sermon, following which the Synod was call
ed 10 order.
The election of moderator being first in
order DR.. Kerr, of Richmond, placed in
nomination DR.. Moses D. Hoge, of that city.
DR.. Hoge requested the Synod not to ask
him to serve as the presiding officer; but,
contrary to his request, he was unanimously
elected, when he arose and courteOusly de-
clined TO serve. Rev. G. w, Finley, D, d.,
of Augusta county, Va, was then elected
On Wednesday the report of the directors
of Union Theological Seminary was sub
mitted and lively discussion was precipi-
tated on the question whether to refer the
same to the seminary committee or to the
committee on bills aud overtures. 1t final
ly went to the committee on the seminary
which is considered favorable to the remov-
al of the seminary to Richmond.
The first business of Importance disposed
of by the Synod Thursday was the selection
of Lewisburg, this State as the place FOL
holding the next annual session. The mat
ter of the establishment of the Presbyterian
College at Elkins was taken up, and a res
olution accepting the offer made by Ii. G.
Davis and Stephen B. Elkins was adopted
They offer to give to the proposed college all
the ground necessary and in addition $780,
900, provided the Presbyterian Church raises
like amount for that purpose.
The question of the removal OF Union
Theological Seminary came up on the re-
port of the seminary committee, which rec
commended the removal of the institution
from Hampden-Sydney to Richmond. DR.
Kerr, of Richmond, opened the discussion
by strong appeal in favor of removal.
At the evening session the Synod resumed
consideration of the question, and Rev. DIR
Hopkins made strong argument in favor
of removal, while Dr. G. r. Vaughan, one
of the seminary professors, and Rev. I. 7
Eppes opposed removal. The speakers e1
hibited a great deal of heat and feeling II
the discussion. A telegram from the SynoC
of North Carolina, in session at Fayetteville
was read by the moderator announcing tina
the Synod of North Carolina has consented
to the removal of the seminary TO Richmond
conditionally on acquiescence OF the NIr
ginia Synod.
By vote OF nearly two to one the SYNOD
favored the removal of the Theological Sem

Mr.. Aldridgo Young, of Baltimore, in a
letter to the Baltimore Sun, theshes over a
good deal of old straw, and the result is
chaff-nothing but chat. He asks Senator
Faulkner some questions which he may an
swer if be thinks the game worth the candle.
It ia true Senator Faulkners first election
to the Senate was the result of the failure
of the legislature TO elect Mr.. Camden, the
caucus nominee; but Mr.. Faulkner had
nothing to do with the sO-Caled revolt
Some of those who aided in the defeat of
Mr.. Camden regretted it, and afterwards for
years and now are friendly to him. He WAS
subsequently, elected to the Senate, and it
proved that his alleged bossism was not such
bugaboo after ALL Isn't it absurd to sug
gest, as Mr. Young has done, that the peo-
pie Of Maryland should regard Mr.. Faux
ner's presence in that State at this time
Strange" because Mr. Faulkners election
TO the Senate was the result of failure of
his party in the legislature to elect some
body else? Why, it is his first duty as a
staunch party man especially so as a rep
r-sentative Democrat and chairman of the
National Congressional Committee-to ez-
ercse himself in behalf of the party nOmi-
nees 10 Maryland or elsewhere if his servi.
ces are requested. It is puerile to talk OF
his "riveting the chains Of Gormansm" or
anybody else on the people of Maryland by
advocating the election of a ticket nOmi-
mated by a regularly constituted convention
Il was Mr.. Faulkner's proud distinction to
be the lieutenant of Mr.. German in the
great contest ia the Senate when he defeat.
ed the Republican effort to manacle the
whole Southern people Mr.. Young has a
family connection here-and those bound
to him by blood or other ties are none the
better or worse for that fact-and he thinks
he knows the sentiments of the people OF
J tier-on; but be doesn't by iugful As
W. regard IT, the contest in Maryland is pre-
liminary to the great battle of year hence
1T is a question of Democratic or Repub-
lican supremacy, aud Senator Faulkner has
the approval of his Democratic constituent
cy If, persdyenture, there are those with
in the Democratic party who would adverse
ly criticise him him for the exercise of hi.
abilities in behalf Of the Democratic ticket,
let them fight him from the outside, where
they more property belong.

We beg TO remind Senators Faulkner ana
| German that the Legislature of West Vir-
gnia has Republican majority yet neither
of them has heard of any attempt to force
"nigger domination" upon the people,
Martinsburg Herald.
The Republican party of West Virginia
is not composed of five negroes to four
whites, as in Maryland The conditions III
Maryland and West Virginia are not the
same in the one the Republican party is
largely composed of negroes in the other
of whites.
The negro organ of Baltimore, the Stan
dard, in speaking of that race as an issue in
the present campaign, says:
These old, moss back, bourbonized Dem
ocrats are afraid of the negro, and the least
hint on this line is sufficient to cause them
to trembe like leaf We are not in the
fight for supremacy, but for equal Gdranta
ges in the public schools"
The negro clearly demands equal GdUan'
tages" not only in public schools but erery
thing else aud Mr.. Lowndes has announced
that in the event of his election the negroes
shall have the same chances for offices as
the whites.
The Pioneer Press, organ at Martinsburg
of the negroes, says: "By uniting under
standingly, the schools of Baltimore can b'
taught by colored instead of white teachers
The Frederick Citizen says; "Outside o
Garrett and Allegany counties there is moi
county in the State of Maryland which
ever gives a Republican majority that is moi
made up exclusively of negro votes. In 9th
er words, not Il county, save the two named
ever gives q Republican majority that woulc
not 90 overwhelmingly Democratic if thu
negro had no vote. Now, in one of the
counties where there is large negro vote
we have the best authority for saying tina
Republican Judge placed the names o
ignorant, illiterate negroes in the jury box
though there we've plenty of intelligen
white men competent to serve on the jury
As a result, out of the forty eight names
drawn. there was but one man fit to be fore
man of the grand jury; and that body com
posed of many worthless negroes, was &C
tually constrained to request one OF the ne
gro members to retire from the jury room
whilst the other twenty-five considered anC
investigated an accusation of theft against
him. The Republican Judge at recen
term of the same court appointed three ne
groes out of the six court officers, and ont
Of these negroes was bailiff to the grsnC
jury. What may you expect with the STATE
government in the hands OF Republican
who owe their election to negro votes ~
The negroes of New York City, in public
meeting assembled, have declared that negro
children shall be admitted to the white pub
lie schools, aud that negroes shall be aP
pointed teachers in the schools attended b!
the white children of that city. There ar
negro free schools there with negro teachers
but the negro preachers, who were the speak
ers at the meeting referred to, DO not recog
nize and appreciate the wisdom Of letting
well enough alone.
