DEATH OF REV. JOHN A. WILLIAMS On
Tuesday last the painful intelligence of the
death Of Rev. j. A. WILLIAMS, at London,
Eng, reached us. Deceased was a son of our
well-known fellow citizen, r Walter Williams
of MedIey's District, and leaves behind him
large circle of mourning friends. He was
born and raised in our midst, and by his great
talents Minister of the Gospel and his
pious, Christian character had won host of
friends. The following from tho Baltimore
Gazette, of Tuesday last, will be read with
mournfu interest IA private CO BILE dispatch
received yesterday announced the painful in
tellgence of the death Of Rev. John A. Will
liams, of this city, which occurred in London,
EngIsnd on Sunday last. Mr.. Williams was
born in Montgomery county, Nd, where his
family now resides; was educated at Dickin-
son College and entered the Baltimore Confer
ence NJ. E Church in 1858, and was appointed
successfully to Fairfax, Bladeusburg, and
Rockville Circuits, in all of which he was
markably successful for young minister. In
1861 he was appointed TO s'Chatsworth Chap
ell, mission enterprise located at the corner
of Pine and Franklin streets, in this city. In
1862 be, in connection with large number of
other Methodist Episcopal ministers, declined
to recognize the Annual Conference held in
the Light street Church, and by this action
became separated from the NJ. L. Church.
The Chaisworth Mission Cha, ell under his able
management prospered so rapidly that il be-
came necessary in order to accommodate the
congregation TO erect larger and more sub
stantal building than the ''0ld Frame" in
which he and his flock bad worshpped during
the perilous times of 1862 to 1864. Upon the
erection of the new edflce the Church assumed
an independent or congregational form of gov
eminent, and elected Mr. Williams as their
permanent pastor, which position be filled
with great acceptabiity and profit TO the
Church until 1868, when he resigned the pas
torate of Chatsworth Church to accept a sim
liar position al Bethany Church. Franklin
Square, offshoot from Chatsworth Church,
and adopting the same form OF church govern
ment. For the five subsequent years Mr.. Will
liams was indefatgable in his labors, and sue
ceeded in building up another fourishing
church. Never strong and robust, his health,
which had upon several occasions given init
nations of weakness, failed him, aud it became
necessary to furnish clerical assistance whilst
he should rest and recuperate. The hopes
and anticipatons of his many friends in this
regard were never realized, as be was never
subsequently, able to resume the duties of an
active pastor. In the month of April of this
year he resigned the pastorate of Bethany,
with the many regrets of his numerous frieuds,
and made preparations TO again visit Europe
for the third, and as it proved to be the last
time. Although he died away from home, it
will be gratifying to his friends to learn that
during his illness he attended by Sir
Francis Lycett and family, of London, who
were his warm friends

LITTLE Rock, Nov. 4.-Enough returns have
been received to indicate with considerable
certainty that all the conservative candidates
for Congress are elected.
WASHINGTON, Nov 4.-The democratic ma
jority in the next House Of Representatives is
now set down by the most careful calculators
as certain TO be over fifty. The unexpected
gains which have been made in the State Leg
islatnres will add largely 10 the democratic
representation in the Senate, thus reducing
very materially the overwhelming majority
which the republicans have so long had in
that body. There will probably be gain OF
nj least ten democratic Senators after the 4lh
of March.

GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY!

In is with no ordinary feelings OF
pleasure that we congratulate the De-
mocracy of Montgomery upon the great
Democratic victory we have achieved in
the country. Not only in our own Con-
gressional District-not only in the State
of Maryland-but everywhere, all over
our broad land have the hosts of De-
mocracy marched on to the glorious tri-
umph. The tide of victory which set
in in October, in the Great West has
steadily swept on until it has reached the
Atlantic and the Gulf States The great
frauds, usurpations, and outrages of the
men in power at Washington have been
rebuked, and in such manner as to tell
them plainly that the people are sick and
tired of such nest of plunderers and
oppressors and will never cease their eff
forts until the last one is hurled from
place and power.
This feeling is not confined to any
particular place or locality, but is the
same in Louisiana as in Massachusetts.
The effort of the Radical party to saddle
upon the country that infamous measure
known as the Civil Rights bill has
aroused the people to a sense of the great
peril to free institutions, and the necessity
of arresting this onward tendency to a
mongrel government. They have given
their decision in thunder tones White
men must rule.
For many years the Southern States
have been held PROSTATE under bayonet
rule, robbed and trodden in the dust;
but the people now see that not only are
the citizens of that section suffering but
that the whole country is feeling the eff
fects of their degradation and poverty.
The great majority of Democrats elected
to the next Congress is guarantee that
our southern brethren will no more be
the slaves of et-baggers and negroes,
that they will now have a chance to de-
velop the unbounded resources of their
glorious country, and with this assurance
shout Of triumph and joy will 60 up
which will be echoed from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande.
We of Maryland have much to rejoice
at, as we have now a solid Democratic
delegation in Congress, the Fifth District
having been redeemed by Dr. Henkle,
and the Sixth by our glorious standard
bearer, WILLIAM WALSH In this dis
trict we have had strong contest, but
victory has pcrched upon our banner
We had to fight not only the party in
the district, but despairing of success in
other parts of the State they concentrated
upon this district all the available forces
from the army of ofice-bolders in Wash
ington aud Baltimore The Democracy
of the old Sixth has proved itself irwin
eible-each county has nobly done its
duty--and as of yore old Montgomery
stands at the front with 521 majority in
scribed on her banner.
We give this week all the returns that
we can get from different parts of the
country and it will be perceived that
they tell but one story, and that is vic
tory!-victory everywhere !!

casionally, are apostates. They have once
been Christians and afterwards scott at
Christ and His Church, whereas heretics
only scott at His Church while many of
them at least believe in Christ himself as
being divine.
Confscation should never be decreed ex-
cept after fair trial and conviction on
specific charges. The charge of avarice,
even if sustained, would not be enough,
for on'the same pretext every mans title
to larger piece of property than he actual
ly needs could be upset. The pretext is
nothing but Communism ia disguise. The
powers that control American affairs may
one of these days be persuaded by some
modern Luther or Calvin to rob the
Church here as it has done elsewhere, but
it will be fearful example of evil and
lawlessness to sec before the people.
