JAPAN AND THEiPERRY EXPEDI-

Referring again to the action IF
secretary of navy, William "A. Graham,
Of North Carolina, in the matter of
the opening UP Of Japan to CONNER
cial and friendly intercourse with the
United States, We have not been able
to find any reference to it in the pres
idential messages to the congress in
two administrations-Fillmore's and
Pierce's. In Mrs. Lees history Of the
United States, published a year or two
since in Richmond, Va, a good and
useful work, worthy of being intro
duced into southern public and private
schools. We find that Secretary Grd-
ham in 1852, sent Commodore M. c..
Perry to Japan on a friendly expedi-
ton. 1t vas to form pleasant and
profitable relations with that remote
nation. 1t is very much larger now
than then. it's population now being
more than 81, 700, 900, and very much
more progressive every way. In 1852,
to a considerable extent Japan was an

The Messenger has ventured a pro-
phecy as to Rev. DR.. E.. E. Hoss, OF
Tennessee, and the Methodist Episco-
pacy. Months ago it signified its con-
viction that he was excellent bishop
timber as the phrase goes. Within a
month or two it repeated the opinion.
He came very near election and bore
himself With Christian manliness and
courtesy in declining 70 have his claims
urged further the second day. He was
reelected to an office as responsible as
a bishops, if not so very sweeping in
power and patronage. He is returned
to his place as editor Of by far the best
Methodist weekly in the entire south,
that of Nashville. In that most useful
and exacting office he has been very
wise n efficient. The two bishops
elected were DR.. Gambler, of Georgia,
and DR.. Morrison, of Kentucky. DR..
Gambler is forty-three years of age.
Both are distinguished as preachers.

The Charlotte Presbyterian makes
now and then an excellent point against
some northern religious editor who
writes, as the custom is up there" in
much ignorance Of the. south and the
real conditions. The Charlotte paper
lately replied quite conclusively TO a
Presbyterian paper called the Herald
and Presbyter. Tt made two points,
but we confine ourselves to the last
one. Commenting upon what vas aid
TO the detriment of the southern Pres
byterians in the matter Of ~evangeliz-
ing work among the negroes. our Char
lotte contemporary with delightful di-
re 3 takes the scalp Of the critical
broIner. We quote:
I'm a southern town where there is
a northern colored church and a south
ern white church, which church do our
northern white brethren join? We are
glad to have them, to be sure, incon-
ststency and all. We attended q north
ern Presbyterian Synod once. There
We're three white ministers in attend
ance. One was a secretary, the other
two principals of negro schools. We
enjoyed entertaining them at our house
and We ventured to point out one diff
erence between the northern and
southern churches thus: I'VE believe
in an independent synod and have none
as yet. You cry out against such ar
organization and here you have it,
We are getting nearer together as WE
understand each other"
