Among the overturcs received to-
day and referred to the committee on
bills and ovcrtures. and upon which
tho assembly will act after the report
Of the committee has been submitted.
tho following are OF special interest:
One from the Synod of Virginia asking
for the erection Of new synod. to be
known as the Synod of West Virginia;
one from the presbytery OF Norfolk
asking the assembly to take action
designed to secure increased support
for ministers; one from the Synod Of
North Carolina asking that the eccle-
siaStical year of the assembly be
changed to correspond with the calen-
dar year: one from the Presbytery of
West Hanover asking the assembly to
DEFER action regarding union WITH the
United Presbyterian Church.: one from
the synod OF Virginia asking for tho

ginia; and one from the Presbytery of
Louisville that steps be taken to
change tho composition of the general
assembly, so that all commissioner
shall be elected for n term OF two
years. onc-halr Of whom shall retire
each year.
1t is Of special Lote in this general
assembly that an unusually large per-
centaEG of the commissioners have not
been members Of general assembly
before, and by far the largest num-
her Of young men are members Of this
body that have been through any pre-
vious assembly. These facts will have
large influence lin determining ths ac-
tion of tho assembly touching the many
important questions before g. ard re.-
