HANKERING FOR A HALTER.

Internal Revenue Agent Trace, opera
ting in FraklIn county, Va, writes Com
missioner Raum a detailed account of an
attempt to capture the notorious Dave
Gillespie. The officer has offered 500
reward to the person who will lodge Gil
lespie in Jail, but few, he says, seemed
anxious to undertake the capture OF this
notorious desperate.
Report says that Gillespie and his
crowd have committed shameful outrag-
es among the innocent colored people in
that neighborhOod, whom they
charged with giving information TO
the revenue officers. They went in dis
guise and whipped men and women,
robbed one or two of money, destroyed
their property, drove them from their
homes, some of them half naked, and
formed thirteen of them into one party
on the road to West Virginia, and order
ed them to leave on penalty of death if
they returned. This revival of klu-
kluxism by Illicit dIstillers and their
friends in the mountains of Franklin
county has terrified the coiored citizens
to such an extent that they are afraid TO
even speak of them, much less condemn
them. There is no such thing IN Frank
lin county on the part of responsible
citizens as sympathy for the enforcement
of laws regarding the making or selling
OF spirits, either state or national.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Republi-
can caucus this morning was attended
by all the prominent senators OF that
side, and spent the time until noon in
the discussion of what shall constitute
an uncontested nomination. All the
Republicans desire to have this point
definitely settled, that no difference may
arise after going into executive session.
The senators who are denominated as
supporting the administration in IFS de-
sire to have ali the nominations acted
upon, maintained that an adverse report
Of the committee on nominations should
make it a contested nomination. Sena-
tor Conkling and his friends argued in
favor Of chasing all nominations object
ed to by one senator from the state to
which the nomination belongs, as con-
tested. This was the point of the dis
cussion, and it was not determined.
Another caucus will be held this after
noon to follow up the question. Sena-
tor ConkIing was conspicuOuslY pleas
ant to-day, and many regard it as an
evidence of his satisfaction with the
situation.
As there is no doubt of an early exec
utive session, the Democratic senators
have been to-day discussing informally
among themselves how they had better
vote. Some Democrats are working
very hard for Conkling, and they claim
that as the matter now stands fifteen
Democrats are sure to vote against
Robertson. On the other hand, there is
a report that some Republicans are
dropping away from Conkling, because
they think he ought not to push their
| fight to the disadvantage of the Republi-
can party. Republican senators state
that an executive session will certainly

Religions SnObs.o

II IS easy tc name them in any COM
munity where one denomination de-
cidcdly prcdominatcs in numbers, wealth
and social influence. Commonly, how.
ever, it is social rcspectaGility alone that
turns the scale. However numerous and
strong otherwise denomination muy be,
If its members are not among the leaders
OF society" there will be dcsertions by
those who must have that precious arti-
Gle at whatever cost. We have known
instances which really moved our pity
people whose origin was of the humblest,
whose occupations in early life had been
hardly respectable in any sense, but who,
having acquired wealth, were struggling
with al eagerncss pitiablc to witness to
get up few rounds on the social ladder,
sacrificing truth and sitting conscience
in the desperate effort. A change Of
church relationships is usually among
the earliest methods adopted, if it hap
pens that the form of religion already
professcd is not fashionable. And it is
hard sometimes to conceal the contempt
with which one listens TO the explana-
tions given of such changes, intended, all
in vain, to hide the real motive. 1t
would be wholesome lesson for those
aspiring changelings if they could know
what Ii sometimes said of them by those
to whom they have sought to attach
themselves socially through the instru-
mentality Of church fellowship. "Why,
everybody knows she did it only to try
to get into society" Just that was the
remark made not long ago by lady of
fashionable congregation concerning
another lady who had recently removed
her membership to that body.
We do not doubt that in some in
stances persons are led by conscientious
! convictions to renouncc one set Of de-
Dominationa! principles in favor of an
other, and the man or woman who would
not change at the bidding Of conscience,
after diligent and prayerlul effort to know
the will Of the Lord, is moral coward.
But it ought to be we'll understood that
such changes are always regarded with
suspicion, unless tie character Of the
party, as one Of steadfast, humble godli.
ness, is so well known that the purity of
the motive cannot be questioned. 1t is
undeniable that in the majority of cases
where the change is from II less to moro
popular church those who remove are
looked upon by those to whom they go,
as we'll as those whom they leave, as
religious snobs. ."-Baptia Courier.
