RESIGNATION OF DELEGATE FowLE.-
In the Virginia House of Delegates, Fri
day, the following was received:
HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
RICHMOND, VA, March %, 1876.
Hon. Marshall Hanger, Speaker of the
House Of Delegates:
SIR:-As the state of my private affairs
renders it necessary that should give them
my entire attention I hereby resign my
position as delegate from Alexandria.
With sentiments of the highest regard for
you and the body over which you preside,
I am, very respectfully, yours,
WILLIAM II. FoWLE.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg "News" says:
Capt. Fowle, member Of the House from
Alexandria, to-day rendered his resigna-
ton as d member of the LEGISLATURE Capt
Fowle will remove from the Alexandria
district in order to engage in business
elsewhere. It was his intention to resign
sometime since, but hearing that his con-
duct would be Investigated, he determined
to stick it out and stand an investigation.
His case was en- tirely different from that
of Judge Stevens, and | am assured by
many members that he would have been
entirely exhonerated by the House. Capt.
FoWle has gained the esteem of all his fell
low members, and they will wish him well
IN whatever enterprise he may engage.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Norfolk ''Virginian," in speaking Of the
Captain, says:
For my part I think he is more to be
sympathized with than blamed. [ am in
formed that this gentleman will remove
from Alexandria to Staunton, where he
will engage in business. His many friends
here will always be glad to hear of his
prosperity and success, it matters not
where he may locate.
The Richmond correspond ent of the
Petersburg Index" says:
A more sorrow-oppressed and disheart-
ened man than Mr.. Fowle [ never saw
Everybody sympathizeS with him and
hopes that in his new home in Staunton he
may enter upon q new career OF usefulness
and happiness. There is nothing mean or
bad about him naturally, and he will not
soon be caught drinking, | reckon. Ger
tainly it must be admitted that for his sins
he has suffered severely.
BALTIMORE M. E. CoNFERENCE.-The
Baltimore brethren are not as still and
solemn as the South Carolina Conference,
nor buzzing as a session in the Virginia
Sanhedrim. There is less salutation fewer
smokers in the lecture-room; nothing like
the noise around the tables of the money
cha ngers. The speaking is well aimed
They don't cut the lead out and fire it
again at the same mark. An argument is
not shot twice. There is promptness in
handing in the reports from Stations and
Circuits The Conference seems to make
APPOINT of punctuality in this matter
Laferty an the christian A1uocate.
