It stands in close relation to the general body of which it is a part and pays all its benevolent Hinds to the general boards and institutions of the church. The Pittsburg Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church is now holding its fiftyfourth annual convention in the First English Church of this place.

Armstrong, Butler, Clarion and Jefferson. The Synod was organised iu 1HM and has had a varied but most interesting history. From the tlrst it wan connected with the tieneral Synod; but when the General Council was organised, in 18(W1, there was a division of the Pittsburg Synod as one part of the ls»dy dewired to uuite with the Council and the other part to remain in connection with the (ioneral Synod. Both parties retained the original name and so now there are two l»odits known as the Pittsburg Synod. They hold the same faith but differ iu several matters of practice.

Mr. Klliott has taken the right stand and our people will stand by him. Why is it that those of our citizens who during the dark days of the rebellion belonged to the Knights of the (kdden Circle, are now red hot silver men ? Because there is a sentiment of disloyalty in it that savors of the old times when these meu were openly howling treason and secretly plotting the overthrow of the government. Of course I refer only to the old citizens who do not attempt to deny that they were members of that damnable organization.Sixty He veil of oar citixens took advantage of (he excursion to Oantou on Thursday aud had the pleasure of seeing the next president of the United States, aud hearing the eloqueut patriot aud statesman's wprria of welcome to our large delegation. 1 siy large, for by the tiuie the train wacbed Bank we had fixteen coaches full of good lien aud true men, all solid for McKiuley aud Hehart and the entire Republican ticket. T|i trip was enjoyable throughout and nothing or an unpleasant nature occurred to war the peace and harmony of the occasion. M. L. Lowgwcll, an old veteran whose home is iu Brock way ville, informed the Major that he was particularly interested iu this campaiKn, and put it iu this light while he poised his gold colored hat on the point of a cane, I have travelled about four hundred milet to sec and shake hands with you and I tell you right here that if you do not go to the White House I will have to go to the poor house." Mc- K in ley smiled and gave the Brockway ville man a hearty hand shake. As the editor of the Volunteer was one of the excursionists, there will no doubt be a full account of the trip in his excellent journal Therefore I will not dilate on the subject, but will simply say that the excursion was a graud, glittering success, and that our spokesman, llun. John W. Reed, introduced us in a manner eminently grand, patriotic and sublime. Who after nest election day Will think tl>e devil is to |iny As into Ids hole he jcocn to atay ? Bill Bryan.

O'l'errall lias issued an address to the Democrats of Virginia in which he denounces William Jennings Bryan as a Populist. The Democratic Governor is aroused as never before, and he handles the silver candidate without gloves. In his address O'l'errall says at least 20,000 Democrats in Virginia alone will desert liryan at the polls. Among other things he says : "During 110 period of my life have I seen the spirit of unbridled zealotry more manifest than in this campaign. Lifelong Democrats, men who have grown gray in the service of their party, who have devoted their time and talent to the promotion of Democratic principles and raised their tons up in Democratic faith, are derided and jeered by some who have forsaken the flag of Democracy and enlisted under the Populist banner, but upon which they have inscribed the glorious word, 'Democratic.'
