lists.

We have received a copy of the
speech of Rev w. H. Books, d. p +,
delivered at Washington, d. @ against
the proposed organization of District
Convention. The gist OF the whole
matter seems to be contained In the
following:
''The National Baptist Convention,
resently in session at Boston. Mass ,
refused to endorse any movement
looking to the creation of District Con-
Ventions. First. because this added
machinery means a greater c0nsum-
nation, on the home field, OF money
raised for work in Foreign lands, and
secondly. because there are good rea
sens to believe that the animus which
prompts the movement bodes no good
90 the National Convention, its lead
ors being disafected parties, the one
wing OF them cherishing Indignation,
because the Foreign Mission Board
Vas removed fIom Richmond, Va TO
Louisville, KY, and the other because
the Publication Board was located at
Nashville, Tenn. and not at Philadel-
phia. Pa"
He is outspoken in his disapproval OF
the action of the certain Virginia di-
vines" The ccnclusion of his remarks
contains the following:
"For myself, 1 believe In co-opers-
ton with the white people OF this
country in Christian work. Ny church

THAT WHIPPING POST BILL.

The MURPHY Whipping Post bill was
on Saturday. January Is, 1898 recon-
mitped to the committee on Courts Of
Justice.
The author of the measure scqui-
sseed in this decision. We trust that
10 will s'eep there un til the sounding
of the last trump.
No proposition has awakened greater
antaRonism and none has caused ma
tive Virginians II rise to greater
flights Of oratory or give expression TO
more patriotism.
It leads Us to hope that after all the
Democratic Virginians believe .hat
Zone ,touch OF nature, which makes he
whole world kin 4"
That government which governs
least and accomplishes the most prac
tieal results is the best. The gre Attest
hope of any state is IN having Within
ite confines . coEtented and happy
people, where the nisht-nare of ostra-
eisn. the exercise of british oppres-
sion, and the inauguration Of class leg.
islAtion neither exists nor is feared.
Mr.. MURPHY in his zeal TO be promi
nent has made himself infamous. com
promised his manhood and drawn
down upon his head the severest con
domination OF every right thinking per
sons-Jew as we'll as Gentle. Deco
srAt as we'll az Republican, Christian
NJ we'll as infidel.
The very agitation Of the subject ha
cost Virginia thousands of dollars il
che matter OF investments and causeS
many an immigrant to turn the hea"
OF his teams in the direction of othe
states.
1t il unfortunate that we have q
times TO witness such exhibitions il
the legislative halls of Virginia, ant
that men will learn nothing from ex
perience, and cast aside the plain, un
mistakable lessons Of history.
The whipping-post is a relic of bar

because it increases the evil which

Far better would it have been fo
any other person to have offered tn
measure, than an Irishman, whose pee
pies oppression should arouse in hin
sympathy for the down-trodden of '
cry cline, rather than an exercise O
brutality, which if practiced upon hin
or his would have raised howl froI
every quarter of the globe.
Mr.. L. B. MURPHY as the Boston
