As a politician commended the feSpect of V oth parx ties Mis father was Frederick A". Fuller of AuiruKta. Me., in which cit-v Melvinwiifitinrnnnir.lv 11- IftM j i His mother was a dautrbtet cf Chief j Justice' Weatotu He attended I school &t Augusta, and graduated at Bowdoin in tho class of 1853. One of his classmates was E. J. Phelps, the United States Minister to Eng land. After leaving colloge he stud ied law in the office of his ttutilp, George M. Weston at Bangor. He also attended lectures in the law de partment cf Harvard University. In 1856 he was admitted to the bar, and at ouce began the practice of bis profession in bis native city. He was elected to the City Council, aud also for a time filled the office of City Attorney. These were the only of fices he held up to the present time. "While filling these he also edited a paper called the Age. He stopped only two or three years iu Augusta. The wonderful growth ofChicago was then being noisea abroad with much vehemence, and Mr. Fuller decided to move to that city. His talents were speedily recognized, and in a very short time he was known as one of tho foremost men at the Chicago bar. Ho took some active interest in politics, identifying himBelf with the Democratic party, but always holding the respect of both sides. In 1861 he was elected a member of the State Constitutional Convention. In 18G2 his popularity was demon strated by the fact that he was elec ted to the Legislature from a strong ly Republican district. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions of 1864, 1872, 1S76, and 1880. He would have been again elected iu 1SS4 but for the machina tions of the notorious Joe Mackin, who got himself chosen instead, in order,ns he said,"to makf jthe reform els sick " Yery soon thereafter Mackin got five years in the peniten tiary for perjury relating to ballot box stuffiuer, and he is there yet. One peculiar trait of his character is the width and scope of his knowK edge. There seems to be no subject that can by any chance arise in a law court on which Mr. Fuller is not thoroughly posted. A striking illus tration of this occurred during the trial of Bishop Cheney of tde Re formed Episcopal Church. About fifteen years ago the Rev Charles E. Cheney then rector of Christ Protes tant Episcopal Church in Chicago, was arraigned before Bishop "White house on charges of heresy. The prosecution was conducted by S. Corning Judd, then and still the Chancellor of the diocese. Mr. Judd was one of the ablest, men at the bar. lie is also; by - the way; an appointee of President Cleveland, being now Postmaster of Chicago. Mr. Cheney was defended by Mr. Fuller, and during the course of that remarkable ecclesiastical trial Mr. Fuller showed a knowledge of an cient and modern ecclesiastical law and precedent that was a wonder to the Church and the legal profession. Mr. Cheney was found guilty, but his conerrefration held to him aotwith standing, and he is head of the same church still now known as Christ Reformed Episcopal and holds the rank of Bishop in the new denomina tion. Mr. Fuller was a warm and inti mate friend of Stephen A. Douglas, and in 1860 wa3 chosen by the citi zens of Chicago to deliver the address of welcome on the occasion of the great Douglas reception in that city That address lives in history as a pecularly brilliant and scholarly pro duction. Mr. Fuller was married twice, each time to a lady of considerable wealth and standing. His first wife was Catista O- Reynolds. His present wife is a daughter of the distinguish ed banker, William F. Coolbaugh. who ended his overburdened life on the steps of the Douglas monument. Mr.Fuller bus a house full of children. They are all girls, and he has eight of them. Fuller is a most forcible speaker. He has occahioually taken part iu political campaigns, but. not prom inently. His voice is somewhat shrill and high-pitched when ad dressing large assemblages, but ho i a wonderfully effective speaker when addressing a court or jnry. He stands easily, leaning a little td one side, and in a slow Conversational i way with ftn easy and graceful ges ture) he reasons with the jury. His methods are the reverse of bullyrag ging. He is always quiet and gentle manly, whatever ths prcycCatldh to be etliel'w'iaB. He is noted for his devotion to the interests of his cli e nts. SPEECH ON DOUOL A 3. Tbo last public performance tf Mr. Fuller was at the banquet of the Iroquois Club) held al tbe jPalniei' Houi& in. OhicagOon Monday April 23. When he rose to speak he was greeted with loud and long-contin ued applause and cheers, and an old . - . ... i . . asnione Aiorjuow jell. Sb cbtUiaJ lhe greeting that it was some minutes before h could proceed. t In responding to the toast of "Ste phen A. Douglas," Mr. Fuller said: "The Republic is opportunity; Fifty-five years ago & penniless youth of 20 enterd the towh n Winchester, to Use his own language, en foot, with his coat upon his arm, without an acquaintance within a thousand miles, and without knowing where he could get money to pay a week's board. In the twenty-eight years that followed, schoolmaster lawyer State's Attorney, membor of the Legislature, Land Office Register, Secretary of State, Judge of the Su preme Court, four years member of Congress, eleven years United States Senator, the beloved leader of hun dreds of thousands of devoted follow ers, he died amid the maugled la mentations of friend and foe, in pos session of fame which passed far be yond the confines of his Country. What better illustration that equali ty in opportunity enables every man to make by force his merit known'; what more cogent testimony to the value of inbtitutions which render such successes possible;whatJstronger demonstration of his power who had uuder the circumstances which sur rounded him attained such heights? "What was the secret of that pow er ? Not Fox himself was his supe rior in dexterity, in quickness of ap prehension, in knowledge at his fin gers' ends, in force of repartee, in sharp thrusts at the weak spots in his adversary's armor. He was a :e -t orator: his reasoning, close, compact, and convincing; his state ment simplicity itself. Dealing with the concrete, not the abstract, plant ing h;s feet on facts: without faucy? I without poetry, and with but little humor, yet his sledgehammer utter ances were so clear, so direct, and so instinct with the glow of absolute sincei ity that men were moved as by the highest flights of imagination. "How potent his speech was may be judged by the fact that sometimes it seemed as if conversion was feared if audience were accorded. Possessed of absolute integrity, and incapable of deceit, he never sought to pierce out the lion's skin with the fox's and he possessed a fixedness of purpose and indomitble will that allpwed no obstacle to swerve him from his object. The campaign of 1858 demonstrated thi?, and resulted in a personal victory unparalleled iu the history of polit ical contests. Opposed on the one hand by the chief executive of his own choosing, and by all the power of patronage and place, and on the other by legitimate antagonists, to whom he himself by frequent en counters had taught the art of war, headed by the immoital leader, whose brooding genius invoked deep moral sentiment to assist him in the struggle, yr)t from the nettle danger Douglas plucked the flower ssfty, aud desperate courage made one majority. Nothing could exceed his unconquerable mind, his invincible will, which no threatened ejection from power could subdue or dimin ish, and which, even as attributed to the most evil of spirits, excites our admiration when he exclaims in the prospect of banishment: No matter where, if I be still the same. "xsut the secret oi ms power was that to these attributes he added an uafeigned faith in the people, which evoked an equal faith in return Man of the people, knowing their wants, their hope?, their aspirations, he drew inspiration from the people. He received it, to use Gladstone's expression, from them in the vapor and he returned it to them in the flood. He had an abiding convic tion that evil would eventually be overcome by good, not through force though more than twelve legions of angels were summoned to tha task but through the patient processes that convert ignorance and vice into knowledge and virtue. "And while his environment may have often led hi n into error, time will eradicate his adherence to the fundamental tenets of hia political faith. Tliesa Cardinal doctHties were predidtaed upon the capacity of man for self rule-, and the attainment of sueeees in that direction on a con- linental scale required the indep6n dence of looal self government as contradistinguished from that cen tralization of power whieh con tains withiU itsfeli tha Sletoents of disintegration.

And his denunciation of the' Claton-Bulwer treaty w&. hot b Cause ol & present desire for territo rial acquisition,' but rested upon op position to any promise or inclina Hon that the nation would not do in the future was its 'duty, interest, honors and safety' might deinand. ,!Biit he insisted that the destiny of tho republic, however palpably manifest,' could only be accomplish ed by conceding to the people of each distinct political community the in alienable right to govern themselves in respect to their internal polity, subject only to tbo Constitution holding those communities together as a Federal unit. 'Ihi. is the prin ciple, the efiort to put which iuto operation across the seas so arouses our spmpathies, aud this is the prin ciple to which the nam; of Doug'as is indisputably married. "The completo fulfillment of this destiny, which oar friend would not even seem to fetter by covenants with others, he never believed cculd be finally prevented by dissensions among ourselves. He never indulg ed in tht delusive hope that by cut tiug his country into pieces, to be thrown into the caldron of anarchy, a new and better country might emerge from its seething depths, and if for the moment he deprecated the risk, he nevertheless scouted the idea that the maintenance of its autonomy necessarily involved the sacrifice of its institutions Hence, when war was made, changing in the twinkling of an eye pending issues by references to the dread arbitra ment of arms, the sagacity of the statesman, the quick apprehension of the party leader, !he patriotism of the lover of his country as it was and would be, made instantaneous response. ' It is a question of order.' he declared, 'of stability of govern mcnt; of the peace of communities. The whole social system is threaten ed with destruction and disruption.' And when that clarion voice declared the only course of diguity and fcafe ty, the feeble outcry of those who would have opposed him 'died on their gasping lips.' "This was the crowning gory of his career oi tnumpli, of which, tor once, calumny and abuse were not essential ports; a triumph which left no higher achievement possible and rendered the opportunity of his death far happier for his fame than any felicity of life. For the long day's work was over and it was time that he should sleep. The noise of the Captains and the shouting was about him, but he heeded it not. Great armies were springing into being, but he regard ed them not.The bvloved land seemed wrenched with ths theroes of ap proaching dissolution, but he be- mourned it not. His dying eyes, un bnsied with the present, were fixed upon the glories of the coming years- He saw no conquered provinces Swayed by an empire to its own de struction; he saw no standing armies. a burden and a meuance to thb State; he saw no man on horseback, dis pensing paternalism, and ruling sub jects with "an iron hand. "He saw vast military hosts, their duty nobly done, returning to peace ful progress with their fellows ; h saw controversies between States adjusted by judicial decision, and even a Presidential succession settled through the methods af self adnega- tion and self-control ; he saw labor lightly burdened, its well-earned bread not taken from its mouth, and the aggrandizement of the fw at the expense of the many cease with the class legislation that engendered it ; he saw a reunited people, grown in the century's lapse to hundreds of millions, free, prosperous, and happy, and its industrial iuvasiou of the markets of the world, leading to the golden year when all men's ood is each man's rule,and through the web of the splendid vision there glim mered on his failing sight the shining thread of the story whispered by coming treneration3 to each other of a great tribune of the people who fought the light in the brave days of old for the maintenance of that gov ernmental principle which rendered such things possible, and the name of that tribune was Douglas' THE GREAT METHODIST CON FERENCE. N. t. Sttn Mity isi The General Conferenee of the Methodists begins its session to-day at the Metropolitan Opera House, in which will assemble about five hun dred delegates clerical and lay, rep resenting over ono hundred subor dinate conferences and a body of communicants of two millions and rjore, . This Church, now the most numfir- ous of all the jrreat Protestant Churches) is also the youngest. The Bapli'dtsj who cdrac next to the Meth odists numerically, had been estab lishrd in this country more than a century before the first Methodist congregation was gathered in this city in 1766. StarJgely enough, it wAs su'adeup of immigrants - from Ireland, the source from which the Roman Catholic Church in America has been so heavily recruited, and chief among them was Philip Ecbtjbt. The beginning was very humble, the Wesleyan immigrants vrorshippnig in a rigging loft, and it was not until i 768 that the Jojin street chapel, the first Methodist church in the New World, was built for their use. It was an Irish Wesleyau, too, Robert Strawbridge, wh planted Metho dism in Maryland at about the Bailie time. Their first Conference of the communion was not held un til 1773 at Philadelphia, and at the close of the Revolution the whole number of Methodists in the United States was only from 10,000 to 15, 000 Thereafter Methodism outstripped all the other Protestant denomina tions in the rapidity of its advance at both the North and the South, the slavery question eventually, in 1841i causing a separation of the Church into the Northern and Southern branches. The cause for this sepa ration having been removed by the abolition of slavery, and a sentiment jn favor of union, political and relig ious, pervading both parts of the country, it is probable that it will not be long before tho two will be brought together again. There is now complete fraternity between them, they are the same in doctrine and order, and only matters of temporal detail seem to stand in the way of a consolidation which would stimulato the denominational pride and mcrc-ate the aggressive power of Methodism. The General C.v.sfevince will con tinue iu sessio-j at the Metropolitan Opera Houso for an entire month, ai.d among the questiors before it this one of reunion between the Northern and Southern branches will probably come up for consideration. There is also another important seperation among the Methodists, that between the white and the colored ; but it is likely to long continue, if not to be permanent, the coloaed people man ifestly preferring to bo by themselves and to legislate regarding their own ecclesiastical affairs. Among the chief subjects for dis cussion in the Conference will be the eligibility f women as delegates, several women having been sent as such ; the extension of the pastoral term beyond tbre years to four or five years ; the making of the Pre siding Eldership elective by the au nual Conferences instead of appoint ive by Bishops, as now ; the temper ance question, and various other re formatory questions New Bishops must also be elected to fill the va- cancies caused dv me aeatn ci ., i it e Bishops Harris, Simpson, aud Wtlie, and to satisfy the requirements of the growth of the Church. That growth within the last cen tury and a quarter is strikingly typified"by the fact that the Metho dism planted by Philip Embcrt and the Irish immigrants, who assembled in 1766 in a riggiDg loft, Las reached in 1888 so c-reat power and wealth that its representatives meet in the Metropolitan Opera House, tho grandt st of all the public - halls and theatres of,the Uniou.

THE BRITISH COR HESPONs DENT. The cno "all-pervading, regnant, dominant rigorous purpose of the British correspondent's life is to find out all the news himself, but keep his paper from knowing anything about it. I was present at the side cf a famous correspondent,- who had kindly taken me" uDder his wing here, when his secretaries came in with the news after the funeral. They had all told their tales and received instruc tions, when the secretary who had undertaken to" do a description of the crowd strolled im "Ah, Jones !'" said tho chief, look ing the late comer over through his single glass aiad lighting, a fresh ' cigar, "rawther, a big crowd, eh?" "I bhould say sOj" said Jones ; and such " a mucky day: Tf e got everythine"." "What, for Instance." "A little child was born in the slush and rain in the great jam near the cathedral." "What a devilish damp and erratic sort of a proceeding." "Shall I write it? "Er no." "Woman climed np in tree park," continued Jones, reading from a voluminous note book, "named Sch w ar tzge n f el d cr. "Name of woman or tree?" 'Of woman. Stajed there all night so's t' baye good place t' see funcra' procession, froze absolutely to death and fell down a corpse as parade passed. Shall I write it ?'' - "Er no."

"Er no " "A man, name known, paid entire year's rent of 58 Unter dcr Lined for window privileges to day 4,000 marks. Shall I write it ?" "Er no." It went on this way for half an hoar, and then the chief said thought fully "You might write a general para graph, you know, Jones, about large mass people 'n all that, leaving ou ; details, and say that from inside information received from an indu bitably high official source there must have kern half a million people present to see funeral." "But the regular figures of the Police Department place the number at nearly 700,000. Hadn't I better make it that ?" "Er no." Then the -war correspondent sug gested a snack of beer and the wing of a cold fowl, and we went down stairs while the secretaries ground out the conventional English dis patch of the conventional length with the same old, stale and weari some presentation of common-place observations, marked "official" and "inside," as usual. Blakely Hall's Berlin letter in New York Sun. KUKLUX IN INDIANA. A New Albany special says about forty white caps called at the house of W. H. Toney, at English, Craw ford county, Tuesdaj- night, dragged him to a telegraph pole and tied an wb'pped him unmercifully with hick ory withs. His recovery is doubtful. He is a prominent citizen of that county and is a man of considerable means. He has a wife and family. The charge against Toney was drunk enness and abuse to his family. Jack son tjroodman, uo also lives near English, was notified to change his manner of doing business by keeping sober. James Pro, editor of the Eng lish News, was notified to publish that the White Caps would attend the election next November, and that all persons detected in buy ing or selling votes, or acting any way dishonestly would bo treated to 200 lashes. None of the white men are known, and it is said tney are much stronger and more diligent than heretofore. It is believed that many f them belong in the adjacent counties of Harrison and Orge. The people of Crawford county are much excited, and an attempt will be made to organize a large compaLy of good citizens to capture the outlaws. An attempt will also be made to get GovernorG ray to send the State mil itia to the county so the citizen can have more protection. JNo one can tell who is to be flogged next, and the best people are afraid their lives will be taken. AN AVARICIOUS MAN. "Why is an avaricious man like one with a short memory ?

His Honor Judge Clark has pre sented the city of Raleigh with an excellent poi trait of Sir Walter Ral eigh. Accompanying the gift was the following letter of presentation: "To ti e Honorable Mayor and Al dermen of the City of Raleigh: Gentlemen The first colony of the Anglo-Saxon race in the western world was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh on the shores of North Caro lina long before the settlements made at Jamestown and Plymouth. When the Spanish Armada imperilled Eng lish liberty and with it the freedom which has decended to us, Raleigh's ship rode foremost among those that drove the "Terror of the Seas" up the channtl. By land and by sea on many another occasion, in ihjiu utin ispheres, he illustrated the tradi tional courage of our race. - And ha wrote history as well as he read it. He perished at last, a victim to his patriotism and to the ingratitude of a tyrant. "The memory of such a man is a priceless inheritance for all times. "I ask leave to present to the city of Raleigh a portrait of the soldier, sailor, statesman, historian, patriot and martyr whose name our beauti ful city may well be proud to bear.

THE LUT HERANS IN CONCORD the eighty-fifth annual session or THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN SYNOD OT NORTH CAROLINA. Charlotte Chronicle. Concord, N. C, May 4. This body is composed of about thirty ministers and as many delegates, and meets in aunual session, for the transaction of business relating to the various in terests of the church. This year it meets with the St. James Evangeli cal Lutheran Church, Concord, N. C. This body is one of the eight Synods that compose the United Synod of the South, embracing a territory ex tending from Maryland toMississippi. It is one of the most intelligent and devoted of the religious bodies of our State, and wields a happy influence in the progress of the Master's King dom. Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, of Wilmington, is the president of the body, and with great ease and effici ency does he discharge the impor tant duties of his office. The presi dent is elected annually by the Synod. Rev. W. G. Campbell is tke very acceptable and able pastor of this church, where the meeting occurs, and for three years has given great . satisfaction to his own people, and is generally most highly esteemed by the entire community. Rev. T. S. Brown and Capt. T. L. Seigle are the representatives of the church in Charlotte, and are early and promptly in their places. The wealth is auspicious, and all outward condi tion, including the hearty welcome of Concord extended to the body, seem favorable to a profitable and pleasant session. May He who, in the ancient time, walked in the midst of the candle sticks bearijg the stars in his right hand, be with his ser vants gathered here at this time, and give help and abundant blessing-.
