Quite a'number of Sunday Schools were irpnwnted by delegates and the reports of he last years work were en ourging. , Some of the schools had been forced into winter quarters by the un preci oeuted hard winter ttut innouncw their intention of V resuming this spring with ie- newed energy. The convention was organ ized by electing Rev. J F, Davis. Moderator and J.C. Horton Secretary, and pro ceeded to discuss the subject announced for discussion in the published programme. 1 Ue o l s e u s s l o n was hrougbout spited and inter esting, and showed that our Hrople are becoming t.ior tughly aroused on the sub net, thinking how to have more, longer nnd better Sun- lay schools."- The weather was very fine uH the time and good crowds were present every day. Revs. I. L. Sherwood, J. F Davis and C. S. Farthing were appoihted a com mi tee to prepare a program for the next convention to con vene on Friday liefore the fifth Sunday in March. 189(. On motion, the Secretary was directed to send a report of this convention to the Watattqa Democrat nnd the Biblical Recorder with re- quest to publish the same. v.Oii Sunday a large congre gation listened to avery able and instructive sermon by Rev.

His of fice has recently been made a presidential office and Mr. Marshall is in the swim. Well he is worthy nud we are proud of his success. Pitched Intotb Panon. Special to the N. and 0. Washington, D. C. April 8. W hen the report of a speech made in a Methodist confer ence at. Salem, Mass., by the Rev. Dr. Lansing, and a sub sequent published interview with the same gentleman, ac cusing tho President :f in temperance was shown to the President hist evening, he said with considerable wrath: "This is simply tin outrage. Though it is not the first time that a thing of this kind has been attempted, 1 cannot avoid a feeling of in dignution that any man who makes any claim to decency, and especially one a-ho as sumes the ole of a minister, should permit iimselt to be come n disseminatorof whole sale lies nnd calumnies, not less st upid than they are cru el and .vicked. "I easily recall other occa sions when those mote or less entitled to be called minis ters of the gospel have been instrumental in putting into circulation the most scuntul ousfalsehoodsconcerninginy conduct and character. The elements and factors of the most approved outfit for phi clng a false and bare-faeei accusation before the public appears to be: First, some one with baseness and mo tive sufficient to invent it; second, a ninister with more gullibility and loveof notori ety tfian piety, greedily wil ling to it and gabble it, and third, n newspaper anxious- '"J ly willing to publish It. "For the sake of the Chris- tian religion I am thankful that these scandal-rnouger- ing ministers are few, and on every account I am glad that the American people love fail play and justice, and that in spite of all efforts to mislead them they are apt to form a correct estimate of the char acter and labors of their pub lie servants.," The legislation of the Rad icalswasu stupendous blurt der nil through. If any good was'donein any particular in cinydirection, rt must have r been without design. The entire performance from the ringing of the bell and the rolling up of the curtain to the last scene of legislative pantomime and make be lieve,. when the curtain fell, was composed of harlequin tracks, political juggling, acrobatic acts, hypnoticdev iltry, somnambulistic a r't, and systematic raids upon the pockets of the people. No such specimens of charlatan ry, legerdemain, saw-uust tumbling, personal and po tie ft mica i ueoancnery nave ever before been witnessed in any legislative arna'cy any coin puny of tricksters nnd clowns A company of sober idiots could have done better for they would have .done noth ing. There was just enougl ol stupidity and rascality in that Radical body to i)lav the devil generally," and to make them forevera most foul strench in the nostrils of honest people. Wilmington Messenger. Minister Ransom and his son, Robert, are now at. the, i Capital of Mexico. ( WHAT IS DEMOCRACY! Senator D. B. Hill. The Democratic party con sists of a majority of the A- inencan people who believe in Democratic principles of government, who care little or offices and patronage, but lesire honest administration i nd good government every where; who favor state rights; who believe in legislation to subserve the greatest good or the greatest number and not to advance the interest of a few at the expense of the many, who do not believe in governmental partnership with private interests, butbe ieve in public taxation for public purposes onl,andare pposfd to the raisingofnny more re venues or tne impost tion of any more taxes thdn ire actually needed for the le gitimale purposes ol the na- ion; who favor equal taxa tion; who desire the greatest iberty for rtie individual cit- izen-fonsistent with the pub ic welfare; who are opposed to all unjust sumptuary laws which needlessly interfere with the habits and customs of the people; who are oppos ed to Federal elvction luws and force bills, to plutocracy and to class distinctions and to paterijslgovernment; who are in favor of money of in trinsic value, the money of our fathers, the coined mon ey (if our constitution, whode sire torhav,e legislation, national, a n d Stat e, framed upon consistent prin ciples applicable to all politi cal parties alike; who are op posed to summary reir ovals of .officials" (except for just causes duly ascertained) be fore the. expiration of their terms fixed by law. News nnd Observer: Th Supreme Court construed 1 he law so that all credit was not destroyed., but it cannot tern edy all the evib Most of all, It cannot find the 'seflurdrel w h o committed forgery That work must. be done by others.- S:atterfield and Brown must be put upon the stand. Oiieof them, or one of thei.i clerks, is the guilty party. The rumor that Bal timore firms paid the forger $500 is the most reasonable explanation yet offered. The Governor is doirg his duty iike a man, and is going to have the forgery annulled if P'8Sible. Tha decision of theSupreim Court will bring much relief and very treat "pleasure to the people. While it does -ot undo all the deviltry it does lessen the width of theswatl and gives relief to all but one class. But the suggestion of Atty, General Osbcrn should be acted upon that some cit izen bring an action before the Supreme court to aseer fain if the act was valid was duly passed or was the work of fraud or forgery. He sug gests that Gov. Carr bring the aition as a private citi zen. In the meantime the ras cnls who consummated "the damnable conspiracy," as Grand Mogul of the Radical Combination, Pearson, calls ure at large, are not peck jnir rock in the neniteutiarv. Messenger. ; READY FOR THE GALLOWS. Birmingham, Ala., April. Loe Hairis, alia John Lindy it jail here for the Murder of Grocery man Please Merri- wether about three weeks ago, nas made a stnrtling confessiDn. He implicates Abe Mitchell and Stonewall Thomas, who are under ar- est. ' He says that he and . his pals waylaid, murdered and robbed James Thornton, a groceryman on the road to indsley, near here, in Decem- erlast; shot Distiller Wil iam Karnes at North Bir mingham; waylaid and rob bed two ladies near the lair grounds; shot E.-J Daniels; prominent farmer, near Eustluke; and waylaid and obbed Rev. St iff, neat North Birmingham, for which Hen ry Wiberly was convicted, nnd sentenced to nine years n the penitentiary. Harris is twenty-two years of igeand says he is ready or the gallows. While at tempting to arrest a fourth one utl plica ted, by the name of Webb, yesterday, Deputy Sheriff Cole had to shoot him mortally wounding him. HOT ELIGIBLE NOW. 1 h e Greensboro Record says that Jiot one of the new magistrates in Guilford has been sworn in. The editorof the Record interviewed W. P. Bynum. Solicitor of. the Greensboro district, said a projninent Republican, and he says that while he has not read the act his understand ing is that the Aerrs nnd Ob set vers account is correct- that the additional magis t rates were required to quai ify on or.oefore April 1st, at which time they come into office. In th'S opinion he is backed by Mr. A. E. Hplton, Chair man of the Republican State Executive Committee. If these gentlemen are right there will be a lot of fun. It is the idea of a number of prominent men, however, that Governor Carr will not becagfr to fill all these posi tions, preferring to save the Statethe expense, though the law may require that he do so. Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr ofl2351lir rison street, Kansas Citv. He rs an old sufferer frsm inflam matory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubles in this climate. Lust winter he went up into Wisconsin utid in consequence has had another attack, "it, came upon him again very acute and severe he said: "Mv joints swelled and became in flamed; sore to touch or al most to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother in-law. 1 tried Chumberluin's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain and to my agreeable sui prise it did both, ' I have usei three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant.
