" Geoerat Garland, of Virginia, who- was1 in Command of the. brigade, whkh embraoed SoAlKsIs' regi ment, in his repdrt of 'the 'battle of Cold Harbor, says: "Colonel ScaIks, of'the, Thirteenth North Carolina Regiment, was eoTJspicnous for Ms find' besrlng. Seising the colors of his regiment at a critical mo ment at Gold Harbor and advancing to the front, he- called upon tie Thirteenth to stand to them, thus restoring' confidence and keeping. his men in position." In the first day's fight at Gettysburg, General Scales was seriously -wounded by a shell t before the Confederates reached Semi nary Ridge; and from that time on he was engaged in all' the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia up to the end 1 of the war, except in the final struggle of Appo mattox, at which time be was on sick fur-, laugh.,-;., .j!---!!' ?. -,. . i-... : , After the war he returned the practice f 'hte profession as a partner of bis brother, the late Colonel Jvtniut L Sealea, as gallant, ehivalrons, amiable, generous, and gifted ft man as ever tdocned the .Bar of any State. While General- Scalks was under the comrnon ' ban" of all oar leaders, his patient-bearing and conservative course, illustrated by counsel and example, did saucii to., inspire confidence and ' hope among the, people of bis i District, His disabilities having been removed, he was nominated for the Forty-fourth Congress in 1874, and defeated William F. Hender son .by a majority of 1,620. In the cam paign pf 1872 : Judge Settle had lost the District by a -very small majority in favor of General "Leach, la 1 878 General Scales was. renominated and defeated James E. Boyd by a majority of 2,245. His ma- jvtkf over Ai W. Tocrreeiia -1S78 yas 2,646, and over Thomas B. Keogh in 1880 was 7, y S4. in the last campaign his ma jority iover Colonel Winston was B,601, Captain Ball having received 180 votes. It is well understood in State politics that the Fifth District is the pivotal District. The maxim was uttered by a speaker at the caucus preceding the nomination of Judge Bennett, that "as' goes the Fifth District so goes the State." General Scales ,is a powerful political factor in" this Dis trict. In the ''tidal wave" of 1878w Gov ernor Vance carried the District by 1,186 majority, and the same year the majority of Stales was 2,245, or about one-sixth of Vance's entire majority in the State. Governor Jams beat Judge-Baxton fa this District in 1880 by 1,177 majority; inthe same campaign Scas.es received a majority of 2,848, although he had Keogh, Cooper, and the whole Revenue service to tight, in their special, desperate effort to defeat him. It will be seen that his majority that year-was more than one-third of that given Governor Jarvis in the entire Stat. ;i'ln the last campaign', when the Fifth District saved the Stat and gave Judge Bennett a majority of 9,139, Scales had a majority of 2,601, or six times the official majority of Judge Bennett in the State. These vic tories he has won despite the fact that his District embraced the strongest and most respectable Republican ' stronghold, and that he has had in every (campaign to over come the influence of the Marshal, Collec tor, Register of Bankruptcy, "officials of the United States Courts and their subor dinates. Besides, his District contains a large nsmber of white Republicans who were consistent Union men, and several of the counties have a large neero population ; His career in Congress has been during the troublous times subsequent to the war, when the Democratic party secured iaa por tent and beneficial legislation for the conn try. In the Forty-fourth Congress, by a refusal to- make appropriations for the Army in the States, the' Democrats' com pelled Hayes to withdraw a standing army from the Southern States and left' them free from military rule, and thus restored the government of the people. If the party had done nothing else, this ought to im mortalize ft. They stopped a further con traction of the currency by suspending a retirement of the United States legal tenr der botes,1 andTJrbVight relief to1 a1 country staggering under a load of debt with an inraffictent currency to jay with and carry ion business. 1 They Teduced 'the expenses bf the crovernment $40,000,000, remone- tized silver, 'brought down the tax on to a . L-J . r - . 1 . : l I . roacco irum tweniy-iour cents to eignt cents !Der DOund, and reduced the interest on Ithe Government bonds to three per cent, ithus saving millions to the government. General tScaieb was active in aiding to iaccomolish all this and other beneficial legislation',' 'In the ten years he has been in jongress, ne nas, on tnescump, at nome, and id! the House of Representatives, been a most active and ardettt'siipporter of the abolitloil of the internal revenue system.

John Wes ley, who embodied ini himself not this or, tnat siae or tne . vase movement, out the very movement- itself. Even- at 'Oxford, ' where be resided, as -a fellow of Lincoln, , he had beeri'looked upon as head of the rowpidl Jtethodrsts. and after hie return rom a Mixotie mission to the- Indians of Georgia-he again took the lead of the fit tie society, which had removed in the in terval, to London. In power as a preacher he stood next to Whitefleld; as ahyran- Vrnter he. ! stood second to his . brother Cnaries. Mlm-while combiBing in soxneA degree the excellence of either, 'he pos sessed -eualrties in which both were utterly deficket: an indefatigable industry, a cool judgment, a command over others, a faculty of organization, a singular union of patience aod moderation with an un penoua ambition, which marked him as a ruler of men. He had, besides, a learn ing and skill Sn writing which no other ef the Methodists possessed ; he was older than Any of his Colleagues at the start of the movement; and he outlived them all. His life, indeed, from 1703 to 1791. al most covers the century., and the Metho dist body had passed through, every phase of its history before he sank into the grave. at the age of eighty-eight. It would have been lnrpossibie for Wesley to have wielded the power he did had he not shared the follies aad extravagance as well as the en thusiasm of his disciples. - Throughout his life his asceticism Was that of s monk. At times he lived on 'bread only, : and often slept on the bare boards. He lived iu a world of wonders and divine interposi tions. It was A miracle if the rain stopped and allowed him to set forward on a jour ney, it. was a- judgment of Heaven if a hailstorm, burst over a town which had been deaf to his preaching. One day, he tells us, when he was tirea and his horse fell lame, I thought cannot God heal either man or beast by any means or with out any? Immediately my heiidache ceased and: my horsefs lameness in the same in stant.": With' a still more childish fanati cism he guided bis conduct, whether in or ordinary events or in the great crises of his life, by drawing letoor watching the parti cular texts at wirich hisBiUo opened. But with all this extravagance and superstition, WesleyV Wmd was essentialbr mractical, rderly,:and oonseTvative. Newman, ever stood at the head of a . great ' revolution whose temper: was o, anti-tevoiutiooary. In his earlier days the. bishops had been forced-td rebuke him if or the the narrow ness and intolerance of hk churchmanshrp. When Whitefield began his sermons in the fields Wesley 1 'eouki not at first reconcile himself to that strange way." He con demned atod fought against the admission of laymen as preachers till he found him self jieft with none but laymen to preach. Te the last he i clung ipaesiodatery, to the Church ofi England,!
