States of Virginia, New Y

torious j-epubiican candidate for Gov
einor. While we would bail such a
result with pleasure, yet we do not
cfxpect it. We feel much more iu tel e's!
in the result of the election iu
Virginia, where a Legislature is to
be elected, and which we hope will
fleet a democtat to the United States
fVnale iu the place of ftiddSebcrger.
Kew York being the largest Stale and
always a doubtful one, the election
there attracts more attention than in
any other State. Fred. Grant is the
republican caudidute for Secretary of
State (there is 110 election for Gov
ernor this year), and bis friends are
sfepeudiug on his dead father's popu
larity to elect him. In the city of
New York the greatest interest is
manifested in the election of aery
attorney, there being a strong demo
crat (Delancy Nichol) running with
republican indorsement against the
democrat it nominee.
The Friends of higher education
Ought to bo grateful to llev. A. W.
Mangum, D D., for his very elaborate
htid able communication published in
last week's issue of the Durham To
nacco Plant, and the public spirited
proprietor of that e.iterprisiug jour
nal is also entitled to thanks for pub
hairing the fame. We hopo it will be
issued in pamphlet form, and be cir
culated as widely as possible. The
Communication is entitled "Church
And State in Their Relation to Edu
cation in North Carolina", and is a
strong a; gumentand appeal iu behalf
6t the State University. He clearly
proves that the State is constitution
ally and morally bound to sustain
that institution. He urges that free
tuition be given at tbe University,
and that endowments of the denomi
national colleges be earnestly pressed
and free tnition be granted as soon
an practicable.
The communication is too long
(about 23 columns) and the argu
nient too closely connected for us to
attempt to give extracts therefrom
Every true friend of education ought
to read carefully the whole of it.
The Phonograph will probably, in
a few years, almost take the place of
writing letters, and instead of writing
A letter every person will be sending
a '-phonogram" through the mails.
That wonderful inventive genius,
Mr. Edison, is devoting hin attention
now to perfecting the phonograph,
aad he expects shortly to bring that
insCrutnent into more general use
than the telephone now is. The pho

Fayei-teville, N. C, Oct. 28.The
report of Rev. J. M. Wharey, tbe
agent of Susteuuticn, was to-day pre
sented to Synod and listened to with
interest. From .the report, it ap
pears that there aie 115 ordained
ministers in the Synod, and 21,840
church members, a net gain of 1,948
over last year. The average salary
paid the laboring ministers f Synod
is $729 which is an average contri
bution to pastor's salary, per mem
ber, of $i.18. Orange Presbytery
presents the highest average, paying
an average salary of $844, and" the
average contribution per member be
ing $4.44. Fayettevilie Presbytery
presents the lowest, $519 being the
average salary, which is $2.10 aver
age contribution to this purpose
per member. These figures show
quite an improvement over last year,
in every Presbytery except that at
Concord, there has been au increase
in both of these averages. Last year
$2,242.50 was expended in the by nod
for sustenation work, which means
that the amount was paid towards
supplementing the salaries of minis
ters in fr.ebie churcheB and in aiding
in the tuikiing of churches, where,
the congregation required aid from
