pETTICOAT DIPLOMACY

The Hon. Bellamy Storer, ex-amoassa-
dor TO Austria, who was discharged sum
n,arily from his post because he tried TO
use his diplomatic position to meddie IN
religious matters. has made his side OF
the case public, printing confidential ana
personal letters written by the president
bis wife and himself. between whom there
was a longtime friendship of the most
Intimate nature.
A careful reading OF Mr.. Storer's case
shows that he has made bad case worse
and an egregious fool OF himself. rms
seems 10 be a case OF too much pettlcoat
government in diplomatic politics. That
part OF the general public who were IN
clined TO believe that Mr.. Storer mao
some ground for complaint against the
president will feel, on reading his side OF
the story. that the only mistake made
was ~ AZ he was treated with too much
consideration.-Bo Traveller

AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT.

The State Library of Virginia has IN
hand a thorough examination and class
ifcation of the large accumulation or
papers and records in manuscript in the
possession of the State. This work has
been assigned to an accomplished young
Virginian, Mr.. James Echenrode, of Fred
ericksburg, Phi. D., of John Hopkins,
who is the Archivist of the State.
Among these papers are the religious
petitions sent up by the people to the
Virginia House Of Delegates during the
long struggle for religious freedom in the
ment of the Church, the removal of
privilege and the sale of glebe lands.
1t is a deeply impressive thing to hold
in ones hands and read the very pa
pers and signatures of the petitions
which express the Christian manhood of
the oppressed dissenting people of Vir-
ginia, their dignified affirmation Of In
alienable human rights and their ap-
peal for relief from unjust burdens.
By far the ablest and most important
of these papers are the famous petitions
of Hanover Presbytery. We have had
in hand the original petitions, five of
which are published in Foote's Sketches,
those of October 7, 1776; of April %,
1777, at Timber Ridge, of May 10, 1884;
at Bethel, of October 1885, and the no
table petition of a Convention of Pres
byterians at Bethel church, August 10,
1885. This paper DR.. Foote thinks was
written by William Graham, of Liberty
Hall. 1t was followed by a paper ex-

planning its purpose, signed by John
Todd and John Blair Smith, and was
supported by petitions from churches as
from Tuscarora and Thinking Spring.
But the first paper of Hanover Pres
bytery was brought to light in 1888 by
the Hon. VIM. Writ Henry, a great pa
per written by the Rev. Caleb Wallace,
and adopted by Hanover Presbytery at
a meeting November H. 1774, in the
home of Col. VIM. Cabell in Amherst
county. 1t is published in full in the
CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN of May 16, 1888.
The Rev. Caleb Wallace, the clerk of the
Presbytery had been a student at Prince
ton under DR.. John Witherspoon with
James Madison and others who became
leaders of thought in the establishment
of free institutions in America He was
pastor in Charlotte county, and after
wards in Botetourt and later removed
to Kentucky, where he became the First
Chief Justice of that State So far we
have not found this paper of IVA among
the manuscripts at the State Library.
1t is no doubt the first of the petitions
and by far the ablest and most thorough.
These petitions of Hanover Presbytery
did not ask for liberation, nor for privi-
lege of any kind, but clearly, ably and
courteously affirmed and asked for the
right of all men to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their own consci-
ence, and demanded the separation of the
Church and State. The paper of 1774
preceded Mr. Jefferson's Bill of Rights,
and from it we cannot doubt he derived
the great conception of religious free

others, was unintentionally omitted from
