VIRGINIA NJ. E. CONFERENCE.

CORRESPONDENCE OF the Alsxanorla 1AZEFkJ
WATERFORD, Va, March 10, 1SS4.-The
Virginia Annual Conference of the M. r.
Church closed it's session last night. Bishop
Warren arrived last Thursday night, and
pushed the proceedings to final conclu-
sion with dispatch. The Bishop ordained
three deacons yesterday morning, and atter'
wards preached an able and instructive
sermon TO them, from the text: bear We
one anotber's burdens"
The evening session yesterday was passed
principally in reading the appointments.
Two elders were ordained in the afternoon.
The majority of the delegates TO the general
conference are said to be opposed TO dlVl-
sion of this conference.
The ouly appointment from which there
seemed to be any dissatisfaction was Man
nassas. Rev. Schooley, it seems, leaves the
charge for reasons unknown TO outsiders,
and the Rev. Mr.. Forsyth, who was as
signed to the charge, said openly that it
was not bed of roses. Charges from there
were preferred against the Rev DIR. Vaughn,
the Seer etary, and one of the most prominent
ministers of the conference, but after inves-
liyation by committee they were dismissed.
The charges were preferred by Mr.. Round,
as attorney for complainant and he was
on hand with his witnesses, but the COM
mittce did not consider the matter OF suf-
ticIent Importance to be noticed by the con-
ference.
The session was harmonious throughout,
the presiding Bishop being highly COM
mended tor the manner IN which he dis
posed of the business before him.
The usual resolutions of thanks were
passed and complimentary remarks made
of our people, and we really believe that
despite the rain and mud and bad weather
generally, the visitors enjoyed themselves:
About 81, 100 were raised last night TO aid
in building a college at Roanoke, the
Bishop subscribing 800 of that amount.
DR.. Carter, of Chattanooga, Tenn, who
was here in the interest OF his paper, the
Methodist .Adrocate, preached an able ser.
mon and de!iveredan entertaining lecture
subject Of lecture China.
The next conference will be held at Ro
aDoke next March. JABEE.

THE PRESIDENT is right smart" ward
politician in New York, but there are many
men in his party who can give him large
odds and then beat him badly in the game
of smart" politics. He believes he has Sc
cured The vote of Louisiana and that he
will secure the vote of other Southern States
at the next national republican convention,
but he will find that what he is relying up
on as the expression of loyal feeling III the
South is only lip service, and that the
Southern delegation to the convention re-
lerrcd to will desert and betTay him at the
first advance Of his most formidable oppo-
nant

The VIRGINIA democracy, in its platform
adopted at Lyncbburg, and upon which it
was successful at the last election, in COM
pliance with the wishes Of the negroes, de-
clared for negro trustees aud negro teachers
for negro schools. The bill before the Legis-
ature to effect that object should be passed.
If its results prove injurious to the negroes,
as some of them anticipate, it can he repeal
Ell at the next session, before much harm has
beeu done. But it should be tested, so that
an inference may be drawn of the capacity
of the negro for self government.

Ii THERE were more newspapers i'll the
North like the Philadelphia Record, to tell
their readers the truth about Southern men
and matters. the hatred for the South now
so rife in that section would soon be allayed
and the people of all parts of the country,
as they should, entertain for each other
the feelings that ought to obtain among fell
low citizens: The Record says "Mahonc's
cant about free speech and free thought and
all that kind Of sentiment only increases the
disgust which his political acts inspire in
every honest Nirginian"

GENERAL MAnoNE is evidently contem
plating the use Of Federal troops to over
awe the white people of Virginia and secure
the vote Of the State. at the next election.
His morning organ of Washington says:

jurisdiction over congressional elections has
been utterly stamped out" Well, troops
or no troops, Malone is dead cock in the
pit He is true to no body but himself
This the Virginia republicans have now
found out and they are as much opposed

sONE OF General Mahone's jackmen says
he is opposed to the whole system OF Tree
schools another one says that when negro
LEGISLATORS come to see him they always
come to his kitchen, and now the organ OF

ification for suffrage. And yet the General
and his party profess to be the especial
friends and champions of the negroes. But
the negro is ncapacitated by nature to
distinguish his real from his false friends !;
he is not TO blame for it because it is his
natural defect.

A Business Man Talks.

There are but few prominent old
time kansans who do not remember
Mr. Mitchell OF the firm of Ilerchfield
a. Mitchell, of Leavenw orth, Kansas.
Mr.. Mitchell. who has for twelve or
fourteen year, been doing an extend
ed business in New York City, spent
Sunday in Wichita. lie is just as alive
To political issues as he was in the old
Free State and Border Ruiiian days,
and although now conceded a million
aire is greatly interested in Kansas
and her eliare. When asked about
the political situation in New York, he
said if there were any over confident
Democrats in this section he was ready
to put mp anv sum from one hundred
10 ten thousand dollars that Blaine
would carry the city of New York.
As 10 what Tammany might or might
not declare as their preference and
policy, the heads of that organization
and the great body of its voters were
not and would rot be for Cleveland.
He was also reasonably well satisfied
that Cleveland would not carry sim
gle ward in the city of Buffalo, but
even il he should he will loose the city
as a whole. Outside of few great
corporations in New York City the
business men are not for Cleveland.

Tho ropeka Blaine and Logan cl,

The Topeka Blaine and Logan club
gave Hon. Thomas Ryan a grand wei
come on Friday evening. Mr.. Ryan
responded in an eloquent speech, be-
ginning as follows:
al desire to return my sincere
thanks for the high honor conferred
upon me BY a fifth nomination to the
high position / now occupy. and
given. too. while | was away attend
ing TO my duties. The nomination for
this fifth term. like its two pre-

which is an honor that any man
should feel proud of. Ii should be
elected for this fifth term ~ It's eNpir-
alton. can return To YOU and the peo-
pie of this district the commission
given me ten wears previous, rs pure
and spotiess as ii was then.
Mr.. RYAN will undoubtedly receive
the honor of a fifth term, aud his past
record is ample proof that he will, as
he SAYS, return his commission uasul-
lied by an act which he will not bear
the fullest investigation.
