A good nomination is half the cam paign, for men fight with vigor and spirit and life when they know their leaders are worthy of confidence. In our own districts under the lead cf Waddfxl, McKoy and Norment and in those above us under the lead of Ashe, Fuller and Pemberton, our Conservative frirnds have the amplest inducements to labor earnestly and zealously until election day ha3 passed. Stand by the nominees then should be the cry from every true Conservative. Entertaining the views wo do as to the necessity of a full triumph of the Conservative party to bring peace and quiet, plenty and prosperity once more to our land, we look upon it as a matter of duty and conscience to stand by the nominees of our party. If we can not find political safety and salva tion in the ranks of our own, then we know not where to find it. It may be that at times the action of our party, in some respect, is not in full accord with the policy which to us would seem most expedient to adopt, and it may be at times that our conclusions in this regard are very strong. But what of that ? Ia not cur party with all its fault, if faults it ha, incomparably bt if . r than that of the enemy ? Can v e desert our friend and join the t-iieiny ? Cm we be neutral ? Iti deed what is neutrality '? Is it not true that just to the extent we with hold from our friends the aid at our command, we give comfort and sue ?ess to the enemy '? When the lines are UIi'."Il ut: t7 nut ouiiueti to srait'i uy the nominees . The only party that holds to us any hope of redeeming our State from the tLra'Idom of Radical rule is the party to which we belong. Organization tuid discipline and concert of action are as essential to the success of a po litical party as they are essential to the success of an enemy. There is nothing truer than that a house divided against itself cannot stand. We must all pull together, or we thall accom plish nothing. We beg that every Conservative in the State will seriously ask himself how he can conscientiously refuse to vote for the nominee of the party without contributing to its down fall ? If he can find no way to refuse to vote for the nominees of his jmrty without contributing to its disorganization and demoralization, we beg then that he will seriously ask himself as a white man and as a North Carolinian if it be not his sacred duty to do all in his power to root cut Radicalism from the State, even though it be at the sacri fice of his better judgment and per sonal preference. If these matters be thoroughly considered, there need be no fear that our friends will not stand b3' the nominees. IJ.KdIXi THi: I'HKSIUESI Di li i:t-1 . Senator Morton is reported as say ing that the Senate Committee will, in a few days, report an amendment of the Constitution for the election of the President by the people direct; and he believes it will pass this Congress, in time for it to go to the different State Legislatures for ratification next fall. The proposed amendment provides that for President and Vice-President the people shall vote by States first by the State at large for its two Sena torial votes, and next in each Con gressional district, thereby preserving the existing weight of the State in choosing the officers above named, which would be lost by a direct vote of the people, to the detriment of the smaller States. The plurality rule is also to be substituted for the majority rule throughout. The proposed change is favored by the consolodationists, and therefore may be viewed with distrust. But, after all, it matters very little what may be the mode prescribed for the election of Presidents in future, as the probabilities are that in a short time the people will have little voice either in the selection of their rulers or iti the laws by which they are to be governed. i:itsin ic;.

We commend to the careful serious attention of our readers the speech delivered last week by Mr. Bout well, of Massachusetts, in the debate upon the Civil Rights Bill in the United States Senate. He sets forth the pur poses of the Radical party in passing the Civil Rights Bill in such plain terms tlu.t no man can misunderstand He takes the ground openly and sqare- ly thac it is the purpose of his party to force the children of the two races in to social intercourse and as equals in all respects, in order to destroy what he terms a "a prejudice founded in no real distinction except the distinction of color." It i3 not Mr. Bout well's fault if the people of the South do not know what is meant by the Civil Rights Bill. He said: The Senator from Ohio Mr. Tiiur mas yesterday in commenting upon the political aspect of this bill was pleased to say that Senators on this eide the Chamber it was likely would support this bill because it secured the suffrages to their party of seven or eight hundred thousand colored voters in this country. Sir, he underesti mated vastly the political advantages, not to the party, but to the ideas which that party has entertained for the last fifteen or eighteen years, to which it is pledged, on which the new government has been constructed, and which every party that claims power in this country in the future and main tains that claim by any considerable lea.e of power will be obliged to ac cept. Opening the public schools of this country to every class and condi tion of people without distinction of race or color, is security, not for the votes of seven or eight hundred thou sand neirroes now livinpr in this coun try and entitled to the light of suf frage, who are bound to the Eepubli can nartv bv ties which they cannot sunder, but it is security that through the coming generations so long as the history of this time shall remain and the great deeds in which we have par ticipated shall have influence on pub lic affairs, the rising generation in each of these generations will ad vance to manhood with the fixed pur pose of maintaining these principles. Intelligence is the security for the principles in which wo believe, and ig norance is the protection of the princi ples and t he policy we oppose. A sys tem of public instruction supported by general taxation is security, first, for the prevalence ami continuance of those ideas of equality which lead every human being to recognize every other human beiner s an equal in all natural and political rights; and the only way by which those ideas can be made universal is to bring together in public schools, during the forming pe ril 1 of life, the children of all classes, and educate them together. The public school is an epitome of life, and iu it children are taught so that they understand those relations and conditions of life which, if not acquired in childhood and youth, are not likely afterwards to be gained. To say, as is the construction placed upon so much of this bill as I propose to strike out, that equal facilities shall be given in difierent schools, is to rob vour system of public instruction of that quality by which our people, without regard to race or color, shall be assimilated in ideas, personal, polit ical, and public, so that when they ar rive at the period of manhood they shall act together upon public, ques tions with ideas formed under the same influences and directed to the same general results; and therefore, I say, if it were possible, as in the large cities it is possible, to establish Fepa rate schools for black children and for white children, it is in the highest de gree inexpedient to either establish or tolerate suck schools. The theory of human equality can not be taught in families, taking into acrouut the different conditions of the different members and the families composing human society; but in the public school, where children of all classes and conditions are brought together, this doctrine of human equality can be taught, and it is the chief means of securing the perpetuity of republican institutions. And inas much as ve hare in this country four million colored people, I assume that it is a public duty that they and the white people of the country, with whom thev are to be associated in po litical and public affairs, shall be assimilated and made one in the fun damental idea of human equality. Therefore, where it would be possible to establish distinct schools, I am against it as a matter of public policy. But throughout the larger part of the South it is not possible to estab lish separate schools for black children and for white children, that will furn ish means of education suited to the wants of either class; and therefore in all thatregionof countryit is a necessi ty that the schools shall be mixed, in order that they shall be of sufficient size to make them usefnl in the highest de gree ; and it is also important that they should be mixed schools in order that, when the prejudice which now pervades portions of our people shall be rooted out by the power of general taxation, they will be able to accumu late in everv district those educational forces by which the public schools shall be made useful to the highest de gree for which thereis capacity in the public will with the power of general taxation. On the one side, then, is a prejnd'C" which is founded in no real distinction except the distinction of color ; and on the other is a public policy founded with the institutions of our country and essential to their perpetuity ; and between prejudice on the one hand and a wise public policy on the other, I think the time has passed when we ought for a moment to hesitate as to the course we should take. Therefore I have in this amendment endeavored to make that certain about which there is some doubt, derived from the lan guage used by the committee in their report. . IXDr.PESDENTS AIV1 IIEFOBM. EUS. A goodly crop of "Independents" and "Reformers" and "Farmers can didates" are appearing upon the sur face in different portions of the State. If our people will do their duty at this election, we shall hear no more of this ilk in our elections. The intense selfishness of these people, says the Richmond "Enquirer, who are willing to disrupt a great party to carry ont a petty and contemptible ambition, must excite the contempt of good and honest men. If Independents or Reformers do not like our party let them go to the party whose votes they court and fight us openly from the ranks of the Radi cal enemy. The Army and Navy Journal thinks it is not too much to expect that the time will come when the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia will meet together, each to celebrate the other's valor, and to ex change the tokens of respect which the brave endurance of each won from the other. - It is possible we are not in the secrets of the Radical party, but it dots seem strange to us that tefore any nomination is made an individual should be solicitiong support not in the Convention but at the pol's. One would think that iu the uatural order of things, the first step would be to secure the nomination and that after wards would come the time for solicit ing support at the polls. But the mat ter wears a still stranger aspect when the votes thus solicited by the Radical candidate, are those of well known Conservatives. But strange as it may seem there is, we are informed, just such a state of affairs in our midst, and His Honor, Judge Russell is the man. The Con vention of the Radical Party in this Judicial District does not meet until the sixteenth day of next month, and, therefore, unless there has been a se cret nomination, Jndge Russell is not the candidate of that party. Yet we are informed that he is writing letters to Conservatives in various parts of the District asking their support. We have heard of some fair samples of what in common talk is called "eheek", but this surpasses them all. It is not only cheek, but jowl, and, indeed, the only question is whether it be not hog all around. Judge Russell asking Con servatives to vote for him to stay upon the beuch ! There can be no doubt we think abent the parentage of such a brain-child as this. It is His Honor s own. We venture to say mat tne uiea 1 . 1 ir never occurrea to any one save to 111s Honor's o s If that he had a folio v r in the Ctfiisi-rvutive ranks. As we intimated at the outset, it Feems stiaiye that Judge Russell should apparently so publicly forestall the action of the iiominatir.g Conven tion, biit t'.iat is ii matter that does not concern u. We care not whether he gets a secret nomination, a public nomination or bi-th, or no nomination at all. The point that specially excites our admiration is the calm assurance dis played in asking well known Conser vatives to support him. Not tha1. we object to the course pursued by Judge Russell in the slightest degree. It i.i undeniably Judge Russell's right to solicit the suffrages of any and all voters if he so desires, and so far are we from desiring to abridge this glo rious civil right that it will give us pleasure to publish any communica. tion he may desire to make to Conser vatives individually or collectively, and we hereby, in good faith, tender him the use of our columns for that purpose. Indeed, there are many qnestion about which we greatly desire to know Judge Russell's opinions, and which if communicated to na with or without a request to support him at the polls, we will take especial pleasure in laying before the readers of the Journal. The expediency of mixed school i for white and black children ; the efficacy of proclamations of outlawry ; Civil Rights bills ; the condition of Samp sou county in Kn Klux times; the status of he law of libel ; and various other matters are questions upon which we doubt not Conservatives desire to know Judge Russell's opinions. It might be a matter of interest too with some to know whether the Judge thinks a negro inferior, equal or su perior to a white man. We presume the Judge has opinions upon all these matters, for he is a poor Judg-, in deed, who has no opinions. Even Judge Sammy Watts has opinions.and 3ometime3 opinions as are opinions indeed. As Judge Russell is soliciting the votes of Conservatives to secure his re-election an as Conservatives desire to know his views, we presnme he will have no objection to making them pub lic. At any rate, we tender him the use of our columns for the purpose. The election for State officers tukes place in Oregon to-morrow. A Rep resentative in Congress is to be elected. The Democratic candidate for Governor is Lafayette Grover. J. C. Tolman is the Republican candi date, and Thomas F. Campbell the Independent candidate. General Grant carried Oregon in the last Presidential election, by 3,502, owing to the Democratic blunder at Baltimore, but in a subsequent elec tion to fill a vacancy caused by the death of the Republican member, Mr. Nesmith, the Democratic candidate, defeated his Radical opponent by over 2,000 votes. The fact that the Congressman from O er-v-n iriU be he first member elect ed to the Forty-fourth Congreas gives this election some significance. The candidates are George A. !La Dow Democrat, Richard Williams, Repub lican, and Timothy W. Davenport, In. dependent. We look for a fitting response from Oregon to the glorious Democratic triumphs in New Hampshire and Con necticut. OI. UBS. We return thanks for a fine club embracing subscribers at Herrings ville, Taylor's Bridge, Clinton and At lanta, all in Sampson county, and a large club at Hansncker's store, Mont gomery county. Our people already begin to show their interest in the campaign. We oVioli yavo nnme wholesome truths to tell during its progress. The insurance commissioner of Con- nvticnt rerjorts that the amount of property destroyed by fire in tl United States between January 1, and A,1(rnst 1 1S73. was S57.000.000, and since January 1, 1871, $400,000,000. It was a telling speech of Boudinot, the Cherokee representative at Wash ington, in which he said that this "land of the free" is the common heri tage of the white and black races, while the original owner of the soil nlnne is an ailen in the land of his birth.

Denlbof the Wounded JTIan, Pat- rich Meyers Strickland Commit ted Without Bail. Late on Thursday evening Justice (jassidey had beiore him six witnesses who had beeu summoned at the re quest of James Strickland, who pro posed to prove an alibi in the matter of the cutting of Patrick Meyers, with which he stands charged. A careful investigation was had, when not one of the six witnesses testified anything at all in Strickland's favor. None of them had seen the prisoner on either last riday, Saturday or Sunday, the cutting having been done about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning. The Justice thereupon committed Strick land to jail, with tho privilege of be ing released on giving bail in a justi fied bond for 500. Yesterday morning, about 11 1 o'clock, Meyers died and the privilege of giv ing bail was thereupon rescinded and Strickland was fully committed, with out bail, for his appearance at the next term of Superior Court, charged with the murder of Patrick Meyers, The deceased was but tittle more than a boy, with a smooth face and a youthful appearance, about 23 years of age and about 5 feet 7 or o inches in height. He was an Englishman, born in London, and was a sailor by profes sion. James Richardson is about 30 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 10 iuches high, with a large nose, a mustache and a small goatee aud has a wound in the palm of the hand, made by a bullet which passed through it. He hails from this county and says that he has recently been at work 011 Dr. S. S. Sntchwell's farm, near Rocky Point. There are some ugly stories told about him and he is said to have been one of the gang ot garroters that infested this city du ring the first year of the war. He was fully recognized by the deceased in the antr-morfcrn examinatirm made by J ustice Cassidey on Thursday last, as the man who had cut him. He will probably be brought up for trial at the next term oi the Superior Court, which meets here on the fourth Monday in June, the 22d day of the month. Hepnblicsn Delegates.

The following particulars from a correspondent, concerning the recent church suit in Greeneville, will prove interesting: The Methodist Church iu Greene ville, worth about $4,000, wls sold for debt in 1837. Most "of the debt was paid off within two years from day of -ale. The purchaser, a member of the Methodist Epi6COPaI Church, South, extended the right of redemption, and received two payments after the two years from sale had expired, receiving the last payment in March, 1860. About $80 remained unpaid. In 1866, the purchaser having left the Southern and joineel the Northern Church, took a sheriff's deed for the property on the same day, for the remainder of his debt, wfth interest, amounting to about $103, deeded it to the trustees for the Northern Church, someof these trustees being a part of the board of trustees that held the property for the South ern Church. All the trustees of the Southern Church have gone to the Northern Church but two, one of whom, being a minister, was brnttally whipped just after the war, during the reign of terror in Green county. In November, 1871, suit was instituted by the Southern' Church, praying the Chancellor to permit them to pay one hundred and eight dolia.s, and to re store to them their property. The case was tried before Chancellor Smith last week, the trial occupying two days. Judge R, M. Barton and E- C Reeves represented the complainants, and R M. MpKee aud H. H. Ingersoll appeared for the respondents. The fight on both eides was very determin ed. On Saturday morning the oa-e was deoided in favor of the complain ants, the Chancellor restoring to them their property, with rents from date of filing their bill. The respondents prayed an appeal to the Supreme Court. ; . . - ,; -.

PAN PRESBYTERIAN! SM. The subject was taken up and a com munication from a Committee of the Northern General Assembly, embody ing the resolutions of the last Assem bly at Baltimore was read by the Stated Clerk. It is a different paper from that ex tensively circulated. Rev. Dr. Plummer asked that the paper be referred to a Special Com mittee, which was done. UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. The report of the Board of Trustees was presented and read, and referred to the Standing Committee. COLUMBIA SEMINARY. Reported fifty-seven students in all. Four students have been dismissed on account of conscientious scruples against attending the Sabbath services held by the Faculty. The cost of board haa been reduced to $11 a month. C. H. Hemphill, of the Senior Class, has been appointed tutor in Hebrew and will enter on hia duties next Fall. It contained the resignation of Rev. Jos. R. Wilson, D. D-, as Professor of Pastoral and Evangelistic Theology and Sacred Rhetoric, which was accompanied by a letter irom me fioara 01 jjireotors. It also recommends that one-third of the Board be elected each year. The Board of Directors reported in rela tion to the difficulty with the students in regard to Sabbath worship, sustain ing the Faculty. The minutes record the fact that Mr. J. O. Lindsay, the jrresiueui 01 uie .tsoaru. did not ap Tl ;l m. 11 . i- . 1.-. " prove of this action of the Board of Trustees. The report does not antici pate any future difficulties on this point. The library of the Seminary has had an addition of 258 volumes. The whole number in the Hhrarv is 18,875 volumes, 225 of the volumes re ceived during the year are gifts from the family of the Rev. Phillip Pierson, deceased. On motion of the Rev. Dr. R. P. Faris, the Assembly went into the election of a place for the meeting of the next Assembly. Rev. Dr. l' ans nominated St. Loms. and read a hearty invitation from the Pine Street Presbyterian Church. St. Louis was selected by a hearty and unanimous vote.

The minutes of yesterday read and ap proved. Dr. Hoyt. reported uii minutes of Missouri &ynodTthat no reports had been presented. The report was re ceived and the committee discharged. Rev. Dr. Smith read the following report from the Committee n iill and Uvertures : OVERTURE NO. 1. The Synod of Alabama asks that its meeting in November. 18T3. be legalized, Synod haying been una ble to meet at the regular jtime or account of the prevalence of $ yellow fever. ' We recommend thai the request of the Synod be granted. OVERTURE NO. 'Z. The Presbytery of Augusta asks the Assembly to take steps to strike from the Constitution Seetion 4 of Chapter 10, of the Form of Government. Answer. In certain cases inconve niences may arise from the operation of said rule, but in view of the more serious difficulties which would tollow Assembly declines the request. Committee on Records of Synod of North Carolina report in 1872 and 1873 to the Churches, not recorded, on the book and, Uia exception recoinm,end.. Moved and seconded that the excep tions in the recommendation of Com mittee be stricken out. Lost. Report Adopted. An overture waa presented, asking for certain changes to be made in our aysteui oi Theological education to which the Committee answered that they deemed it was not expedient or necessary to make the change sug gested. Dr. Kirkpatrick said he hoped this matter would be looke into,, that it was a matter great importance, that he "as no,t opposed to report but that some change was necessary and heped that the whole subject would be re ferred to a Special Committee. Dr. Pratt liked the suggestion of Dr. Kirkpatrick. Dr.' Plumer hoped tb.at the report of the Committed would silently be adopted as reported, that the desire for a change was a spontaneous out burst of the people, that it ail came from on? source; that nothing had been done dishonorable, but still it was not true thai the people of our churches are mueh opposed to our present plan with reference to our Theologigal system. True, all ma chinery runs with difficulty, that more oil is ofteu necessary, but still it is true that our present plan is heat, that it is the glory of Tmmanqel, that He takes the poor of, this world to conform; the ri?h, that He takes th$ poor man from the dung hill and sets him up to honor the church, that it is not desirable to ex tend the cause, that our candidates are often poor tmd. have tu time to spare frooi their studies; that the church, did not want a change; that she had been asked before to. make a change and had declined. And the venerable speaker asked of thia As sembly to. look back to the time when they were poor young men in the Seminary, and make the case of the present candidates theira, Away with these annoying propositions for changes. Let "us cleave to the old ship, bail her out, trim her sails, and calk her up, if necessary, and go on our voyage. Dr. Alexander: We have all listened with pleasure to the eloquent remarks of our venerable father, Dr. Plumer, I call the attention of the house to "the gravity of the subject xtoV'tiefore the house, and ask tfleir careful conoid- eration. The disposition for a change is sporauc; it is spontaneous; it is general. That the action-taken on this subject by the Board of Union Theo logical Seminary was wholly inde pendent of action of Convention in the North, and that every one of the Faculty of Columbia looks favorably on the proposed changes. Mr. Hall : There was one expression in that overture that arrested my at tention, to-wit : that the matter of fi nance would by this method be made easier. At the close of the war there was a temptation tg bring men rapidly into the ministry, and hence wo kept them from making much effort to sup port themselves. Herein is great dan ger. I would like that an arrangement j be made whereby the vouner men have opportunity to support themselves. xnat wnen we were rich it was thought best that vouner men work their own way into the ministry but now that we are poor, our tendency is to keep them ueiping memseves. isy the for mer method we would have fewer oases over wnicn to lament, and would have more rooust ministry. xvev. A. w. Pitzer : The report or overture oi Augusta Presbytery if adopted, would end discussion on this suDject. it seems to me the very mo- jiuu n commit involves the entire mer its oi tne matter. L.et us discuss tho whole matter this morning. It is a pretty morning, brethren, in good wumuuu, ana now let us discuss. Motion to commit withdrawn. xvev. Dr. amith: This cues tion was mentioned. We had changed our ses sion. Dr. inquired whether hub was aone in reference to shorten mg the session. At the meetine; of uuabccs, xjt. xirKpatricK introduced this subject proposing that there must pe 4 sessions of 6 months py wnicn we would be in accordance with our book. We now propose to have 4 years of six months each. I am decidedly, enthusiastically in favor of this change. Reasons, 1st, it is of advantage to the students. The prime object of theological institutions is to save time. With an able nnd good pastor a student could get the best theological Education if there was not a big "if" in the way, if the pastor had a good library, &c. The preaohers are not to come down to the people, but educate the people, up to the minister. There are proces ses on foot now to get a better educat ed ministry. Let a man study six months, then let him go out six months and mingle with the people and learn how to get up at the back of a chair and say something. Two things constitute sacred Rhetoric, one is to have something to say, and one to earnestly desire to say it. Now a young man in six months learns something to say, then he goes out and tries to say it and very soon gets an intense desire to have more to say, and to learn more, and he goes back to learn, after another year with a high appreciation of the opportunity to learn something, he has learned what he need to know, and so it goes on mixing actual wort and study, more anxious every time till he returns to Seminary to leam beeause by his prac tice in going out to preach each six months ho finds out what he nrcdst. If this plan were adooted before thf ml or cucii mix months, the people of the vacant churches will have written and engaged every young man in tho Sem inary. drd, in regard to the poverty of young men. A student may have pov erty, but he must have jmrta. There must be timber or no theological Sem inary ean make a preacher out of him. Young men came to us crippled. time lost, money lost, spent health, money and all. Under these circum stances our faculty took them in with only $200 and. p..t out invitations that any mau who wanted an education for the Ministry to come on before the end of the session; we disbursed $2,- 600. Hence the case was extraordina ry, I never told but one man to preach the Gospel, him I advised on four pages o? paper; I'll never do it again. so long as 1 live. In reference to Mil itary Institutions Pr. plumer forgot one thing, thcisa are picked men. Not opposed to beneficiary educa tion, we want to know wore now be fore we put them Wl scholarships, to now they must be at Seminary one yer,r &r. As much as we want preachers, I am more concerned about quality than quantity. By this plan we put more on their owv exertions. Thus we try thesi 4; bee whether they are in eurest enough to ht lp them selves. I have often dispensed money and thought, it is waste. Under this plan, young men if they have any spunk in tnem, they vill in this six months, relieve th education commit tee and, prie whether they are reallv the proper metal for the miuistrj . By the proposition to have some Profes sors to remain aud teach through the months of Majt June and July, pupils can oomo out in three years instead of four, there would be no sweltering through dog days as Dr. Plumer says, and even if there were, do net minis ters have to swelter through dog days? As to change, 4 beneve the world is moving, and iu the m,ain improving. I am for improvementd. Theological students are like other people, and good rules and regulations on theological students are as useful as upon another profession. We made a change in regard to their attendance on prayers making strict regulations thereto and we Cud it beneficiary. T tel,l yW these things I don't know who the committee are, but the breth ren are listening to me with more pa tience I 5pect than I would to them, but let me tell the committee these thipgs and if they smoke (which all good men ought to do) then let them take them hone and smoke them iu their pipes and give us a ringing re port iu t. Louis next year. 1 tell you Sir there is no time lost in sharpening Scythes and axe, nor in sharpening men's wits, aud if they have poverty and parts iu trying to make them have better parts. The harder we make it for men to get into the ministry tho better preachers they will make. T. C. Johnson agrees with speaker in main, but must protest against re marks of Dr. Smith with reference to beneficiaries, &c. The speakeu then went on to advocate a3 advantageous to YCtUna men, the plan proposed of having young men spend alternate six. rpphths a Seminary aud in the work. D. A, Campbell, of Louisiana, spoke in favor of the present plan of three sessions of eight months, instead of the proposed plan of four sessions of il. Dr. H. M. Smith, of New Orleans: The qnestion ia, whether the church is prepared for this radical change Koposed in the whole system of theo jical training, of which the overture complains, the preamble of which overture states that any many at all acquainted with the present system knows it to be incompetent. I am in favor of a committee to consider whether our system may not be im proved, but I am not in favor of com mitting the church to the system pro posed in the overture, by refusing to adopt the report of thia committee?. The report was aoptyd. EVENING SESSION. Report of publication was read by Dr. Baird, of Richmond, moved by Pr.

From the New York Tribune. A Period of Democratic Auendfii cy Predicted. There has not been a time within twenty years, till the present, that Wm. W. Eaton had the slightest chance to attain what has notoriously been the measure of his ambition, a seat in the Senate of the United States. That he has at last attained it, and that Connecticut has deliberately turned away from the men who have had her confidence of over twenty years, to lift to her highest represen- , tative position the man she has feared and hated most, and whose political opinions she has repeatedly repudiated and disowned, is an event of peculiar significance. Whoever should have" said two years ago, when the Republi cans, strong tin their majority, quar relled and split into factions over the election of Senator, that Wm. W. Ea ton would be the next Senator elected, would have been compassioned a sa lun atic. Such a prediction a few months later, when the State was carried over whelmingly for Grant, would have ; been wilder still. In the same spirit in which conserv ative Connecticut swung over from Buchanan's administration to Francis Gillette in 1854, she has swung from , Grant's administration to William W. Eaton in 1874. The people are tired . of platforms and protestations. They have begun a revolt. Does the party in power understand the situation ? As for Mr. Eaton, with all his faults. and they are such as may seriously im pair his influence, he has distinguish ing virtues that may make him a very useful representative. The lesson of 1854 to his own party, and the lesson then, are not more to his profit by than those of the last two years, which . seem specially directed to his oppo nents. If history does repeat itself, Mr. Eaton's election opens a period of Democratic ascendancy, just as Francis Gillette's led the way to twenty years of Republican rule in tho State. How iv Dumb ITI ail Recovered Hit Voice. The Springfield Republican tells a curious story ot the way in which A. B. Leonard, a dumb man, at South bridge, Massachusetts, recently re covered his voice, which he lost about a year ago, after an attack of cerebro spinal menigitis. A few mornings ago he was awakened about four o'clock by a sense of oppression aud faintness. He became conscious enough to under stand that gas was escaping from a coal stove, and that he would soon die unless he could get to fresh air ; so, after many falls and tumbles he gained the outside door, when he fainted, but was soon aroused by the lapping and tugging of a faithful Newfoundland dog. Then the thought came to him that his wife and child were in the house, and though ho had not spoken for months he called loudly for help, his cries, united with the howls of the dog, Boon rousing a neighbor, to whom he told his troubles, and again fainted aud was insensible for two hours. On recovering ha was unable to talk, but tho doctor, on hear ing the ease ordered him to visit the gas house and breathe the air in the Enrifying room. After spending an our and a half there he could talk in a whisper, aud since then has gained the perfect use of his voice. Queen Victoria and President .raul. '1 hi following letter, purporting to be the reply of Queen Victoria to the invitation of President Grant to visit him nnd the Philadelphia Exposition, on the Fourth of July, 187G, has been handed to the New York Evening Post for publication. erom queen victoria. Mr. I'ra-.ident: Since the decease of my beloved husband, I have made it a rule never to quit my kingdom, except to visit the scenes associated with his early youth at Coburg. I pray your Excellency, therefore, to excuse me from accept ng the invitation which you have been pleased to send me. To give your Excellency, however, some idea of the estimate in which the American people and its government are held by my court, 1 bhail allow mynelf the pleasure of sending to your bazaar a full-length portrait of my lamented grand-father, George IIL, of blessed memory, and a bust of Brigadier-General Benedict Arnold, who, of all your American heroes, enjoyed, and, so far as I know, merited the most of my grandfather's respect. Thongh I may not be with you in person, I trnst the sight of these memorials of affection will convince your Excellency that the lapse of a century, with all its curious vicissitudes, has not in the slightest degree diminished those feelings to wards Americans which the event you are about to commemorate was calcu lated to inspire in the breast of every loyal Englishman.
