Death ov Jud<3b Lek.?'The Clarksburg

the 20th iustant. of George II. Lee, formerly
Judge of the '21st Judicial Cjircuit of Vir

\ irginin: Court of Appeals, whose presence ns
counsel at-the late "session of the "W. Va
^oijrt of. Appeals in this place many of Stir
readers will remember.
Since the war, says, the Sun- judge Lee
applied himself'diligently to tbo pfaStice of
his profession, of which he stood at'the head,
lie was a faithful cotiiisel for tho Baltimore
and Ohio Ilailroad, and managed the diffioult
and important cases of that Company with
great real and ability. Ills decisions as Judge
Bf the Court of Appeals stand very hij.li aad

sented to tho Commissioners of Claims at
Washington, under the act of Congress that
provides for the payment of '-loyal citizens"
in the Southern States for stores or supplies
furnished to or taken 4>y the army. The'list,
says tho Register, is quite a formidable one,'
and the aggregate amount of the claims runs
awny up in the millions. The 'names of tho
claimants in Virginia'fill tbirty-threo pages cf |
the book, while two pages suffice for West
irginis. There are reported in this Stnto
only 201 claimants in all, of whom 125 re*

Caldwell, (the name scems'tamiiiar) who asks

THE SYNOD OF VIRGINIA.
The Synod finished its business at ? late
hour Saturday night, but deferred the correc
tion of minutes and final''adjournment till
Monday morning, 24th iti'st. 'The business
was done well and deliberately, 'the discus
sions were very able, earnest and" courteous,
and decisions"were reached with'a degree of
unanimity that'was retnarkable on nearly every
question. Committees carefully investigated1
every question' referred to them and reported
promptly, so that there was time for the Synod
to isonsider well each sutfjeift- touching the
welfare and growth of the eKurch.

SYSTEMATIC BENEVOLENCE.
Rev. A. W. Pitzer reported on the subject
'of Systematic Benevolence a paper from which
the following extract is taken,: "Synod hails
"with pleasure tho fact that the prinoiple of
weekly Offerings is rapidly growing in favor
with our churches, and wherever this' system
has been adopted, the results have'fully proved
its wisdom and worth ; and tho Synod would
urge the Presbyteries to tako Each action as
'will-lead all-our churches to tidopt the rule
given toTthe churehWof Galatia and Corinth
'bjran iriBph'ea apostle, viz :""TJp5h"thelSrst

in store as Gpd hath prospered him.' And
in this connexion Synod would-ask llie earnest
copsideration of nil thoso under its care to this
question, viz: May not the entire revenues
of'fhe churches; whe'ther for'general or local
purposes, be raised by the weekly gifts and
oblations of God's people ?"
?TUBJilCATION.
In rosp6nsecto an interesting and satisfac
tory address'by Dr. 13. T. IJaird, Secretary,
Synod passed a papei;;fxqm which we take an
extract, viz: "Having information that our
last General Assembly has designated tho 1st
?Sabbath of December,' or as soon thereafter
as convenient, for a united and special effort
throughout tho church to purchase a publish
ing house in the city of Richmond, and to
complete the endowment of the Committee of
Publfoation ; the Synod does hereby urge this
matter upon all our ministers, ciders and
churches as one of the utmost importance con
nected with this great department of christian
bcno'volence, and would express the hope that
nothing will be lacking on th'eir part to give
it entire suecess; and this becomes even the
moro obligatpry, because of tho present pecu
niary embarrassment prevailing over the coun
try!" * ! ' "
. MISSIONARY WORK.
Rev. Richard Mcllwaino presented these
subjects?aided in foreign missions by Rev.
J. L. Stuart, of Kentucky, for many years
past onij of our missionaries in China. This
work attracted 'much attention, and wo trust
received new impulse. The work increases
greatly at home and abroad.
Evangelistic work
commanded much attention lb Committee and
in Synod, and was given much more prominence
than heretofore, fis the church seemed now
about to gird its armour for a forward move
ment. Otving to defoetivo reports, however,
nothing more could bo dono this year tlifen to
urgo action on the part of Presbyteries, and to
appoint a Committee'to report on tho nature
and extent of tbe field for Evangelistic work
at tho next meeting of Synod. Tho Commit
tco consists of ltevs. A. C. Hopkins, J. II.
Leps, Edgar Woods, Col. 13,,M. Armstrong
Bud Maj, llobt. C. Stiles.
CHURCH AND EDUCATION.
Tho relation of the church1 to education
camo Up as unfinished business of last Synod.
Dr. J3. M. Smith, Chairman of Committee,
offered last year's resolution which elicited dis
cussion theu he proposed the following sub
stitute, viz i
"That whenever tho authorities of nny lit
erary institution within our bounds tuay de
sire to form with this Synod, or with Pres
bytery or Session under its care, a relation
giving to sueh ecclesiastical court a super
vision of euch institution, on terms consistent
with the Constitution of our Church and the
interests of tho institution, such connexion
may lawfully he constituted ; and
TT'h'cre'u*, The President and Trustees of
Hampden Sidney College, who are present at
this meeting,not only wish to assure the Synod
of the Presbyterian character, of that institu
tion, but also to secure such a permanent
character, and are willing to grant the'Synod
a veto power in the election of Trustees ;
thereforo
Heswucj, That Synod will unite in form
ing such a relation,, upon tho terms suggested,
whenever the Board of Trustees shall secure
such legislation as may bo necessary in the
premises."
This subject excited a debate of unusual
interest. It was remarkable for its ability
and good spirit and zeal. The affirmative was
maintained by Rev. Drs. Dabney and Smith,
Ruling Elder A. R. Blakey, Rev. Saml. W.
Watkius, Rev. Ebenezor Junkin, Dr. Win.
Brown, Dr. J. M. P. Atkinson and Rev. W.
W. Houston, and the negative by Rev. Dr.
J. L. Kirkpatrick, Maj. T. J. ICirkpatrick,
Rev. Dr. II. C. Alexandor and Rev. J. Itioe
Bowman. The' vote was taken late Saturday
night and oarriod in the affirmative by & small
majority.

STAY-LAW.
jfr.~ Editor ii see that the Free" Press
and Spirit are both otlt against a stay-law, and
am free to admit tbat nothing but the present
Condition of tho money matters of the country
rcould-justify it. 'But 'they not only, in my
bp'inion, do justify a'conditional stay-law, and
such an one as the memorials now being signed
largely call for,' but render it pre-eminently
expedient'and'just. In reply to bgth edi
torials on thfct subject, permit me to mention
some reaxons for the opinion so expressed:?
I will do so, as I think you have both over
looked the peculiar and grave circumstances
surrounding 'tfra~ subject, and which can be
neither parried by tho suasion of the Free
Press or bluffod by the Onslaught of j our own
article. You are, both, speaking from wrong
premises, when, you put up a stay-law in the"
general; and not in the present, peculiar, and
critical condition of the country. Every one
knows that if money is' to be paid, abd es
pecially if property .is to be foroed to sale to
pay it that, it is the bonndoti duty of the Gov
ernment to see that, there "shall be ah'ado
quate supply of money in the country for all
its business and exigencies ; but what is' the
fact ? Why while this country requires from
840 to $50 to the bead to ' transact its busi
ness and represent and exchange Tts property,
on an average there is only S 13.60; and in
this locality, and many others in the South,
not 85 to the head L Is this no reason for a
stay-law until the deficiency is supplied ? and
does it not sound like the taskmasters of Egypt
to their bonds^men who, were required to
make "brick "without straw,"' under tnls state
of the case to bawl at the' top of your lungs
"ye are idle, ye are idle" "labor labor?"?
-Ndr'ia "tViis'allJ'bnt these very"men ?vKo, bavo
br'oiittht about this very state of affairs, the
speculators and usurers of the land, by di
verting all the'money of the coun tryfrbm the
very industries of' tWe''Country, and for which
and which only the people intendedit, to un
productive stqckljobbjujp, and speculative rail
roads, aro now the nfen'who, having failed in
their Btock-?amblingand speculative railroads,
desire to'mSke ' up their losses by cornering
? tbo1 whole industry of the country and its prop
erty too, especially its lands: And the most
impudent feature in'the whole affair too is
that, whilo they look upon a stay-law for
farmers and all debtors with holy horror, these
bond-autocrats and mpney-mongers?these
speculators and usurers?they, themselves,
have without tho aid of the legislature, and
of their own will and motion, passed a stay
law for their own benefit': For what else but
a stay-law is tho suspension of the Hanks?
That swindling villainy, tho United States
Banks leading,tho way, and foreinc all other
Hanks to follow suit! I. respectfully, submit
Mr. Editor, with all deference to your judg
ment, and that of your brother Editors of tho
Free Press, official counsellors of tho people
though yo be. that, under Such circumstances,
while they will, no doubt, thank you for your
good intentions, it will be wise in tho people
to consult their own understanding and brains,
and'to try'at least,to manage their own affairs
in their own way, where so much is at stake,
and'by all meana to hurry up tho memorials.
Thero is, now. but short time to do it, but I
hope"they will iiso it with industry. The
wolves aro howlintr behind thcbi, constables,
sheriffs, lawyers, clerks, usurers and shavers,
but never mind that ; let them howl, it is
their nature so to do"; but hurry up and'elicck
rnate their stay law by "your own. If they are
entitled to a stay-law of their own making,
fair play should entitle the pcovlo to ono too,
"odious or not or?ions" ns stay-laws may be.
One word more, and in regard to the Vir
ginia stay-law, refei+ed to and quoted by you
and the Editors of tho Free Press, and I have
done. You, both, refer to it as a "caso in
poirit'j" and hold it up as an awful ' beacon
against all stay-laws. Permit mo to toll "you
that, in quoting tho Virginia "stay-law as a
"case in point," yon havo followed the'e'x
ample of'the most indifferent lawyers at the
bar; I mean those known as "case. Imryprs."
Unable to reason on puro law and principle,
these "case lawyers" aro ever bothering tho
judges with their eternal cases which, may bo
very good law in themselves, but not appli
cable to the case at bar, and simply because
theifdehs and circritn.iiurices aro totally dif
1 fererit. Though not lawyers yourselves, I
I can't Help'thinkirig you must have rubbed
apainst'one.of the "case lairi/crs" when you
quoted the Virginia stay-law against the one
wo see"k. That stay-law estopped principal
and interest. This we ask does not '; so there
will be no accumulation of debt. That stay
1 law passed at a time when thero was 840 a
bead to'the people of currency, and this is
asked when, by cfesit/nivi/ contraction-, "there
is but SI3.60 to'tlio head. That law passed
when land in Virginia sold as higli as'SlOO
per acre, a'^e $125, this, when lanjs worth
850, now, are sold Tor 88 an3 the courts are
constantly injoining and refusing to confirm
sales, is prayed for. 'And besides, Mr.Ed
itors, even in Virginia, it was not the stay
law that did the mischief, but, as before said,
the contraction of the currenoy from $40 a
head to about 817 and now fallen to 813.60
when we ask a stay-law. 1 hope, by this time,
you see some little distinction in thq two very
different cases. If 70U don't, I think- tho
people will see ft, nnd feel it tdo, if they are
mis-advised, and suffer this Legislature to ad
journ without providing Tor tliofr protection
in these mbst critioal and perilous times. I
advise them, by all means, to loo'k to th'eir
own security, and to sign these memorials.?
I am not deterred, and will not be, by a few
big words about the odium attaching to the
"authors and originators of stay-laws." I
take the responsibility for my advice, and you
must take ft for yours, and events and conse
quences will decide between us.

he is paSsiohately fond, he bad momentarily
set hi9 fowling piece down to aid Lis little

into an adjoining room, where Mrs. Morgan
Morgan, Jr.. was engaged in clearing the
breakfast table. Very fortunately a sewing

but for that she might have been instantly
