Ia the General Conference of the Meth>
odist Episcopal Church South, at Nashville,
Tenn, last Tuesday, the election of FIVE adj
ditional bishops was taken up, and Rev. Dr.
Alpheus ". Wilson, of the Baltimore Con-
ference, for the past four years missionary
secretary of the church, with headquarters at
Nashville, was elected on the first ballot. At
she afternoon session DR.. G. Cranberry. O
professor in Vanderbilt University, bat
delegate from the Virginia Conference DR..
Atkins G. HsygOOd, of Georgia; Rev r. K.
Hargrave, of Tennessee, and DIR. Linus
Parker, of New Orleans, were elected bish-
ops. The election on the first ballot, of the
Rev. DR.. Alpheus W. Wilson, the Baltimore
Sun appropriately ssys, is an honor worthily
bestowed. DR.. Wilson is in the prime of
life, is preacher of great ability, man of
excellent business qualifications, and the
highest type of a Christian gentleman.
Wherever tried, whether as circuit prcaoh>
er, in charge of a station, presiding elder, or
as m Missionary secretary of the NJ. L. Church
South, he has always proved himself equal
to the occasion, and in the important position
to which ne has just been elevated he will
doubtless distinguish himself. DR.. Wilson,
who has been residing in Nashville, Tenn,
will, it is understood, mako his homo in Bal
timore. Tho new Bishops Except Mr.. Hay
good, who declined the honor were ordained
on Thursday.
