Jpdge j. v. McDume.

The gentleman whose name heads
this article is the Republican con-
testant for a seat in Congress from
the fourth Alabama dis rict.
1t is conceded by the democrats
themselves that this district has
about Ell ,hteen thousand more color
ed than whit, voters. Notwit =
standing this large undisputed re-
publican majo.ity the democratic
candidate managers get the certifi
Gates of election every time these
late years. AS to how or why this is
d ne it is unnecessary to discuss
now but it is a fact that the demo.
Gratis of the whole State. and of the
fourth district especially, ought to
feel ashamed of and doubtless thou
sands Of them do.
In 1888 the republicans wisely
nominated Judge McDuffie who is
one OF the cleanest ablest and shrewd-
est men that the party hls in the
State, and who has the confidence
and resp. ct of all good men in both
political parties He is a large
planter in Lowndes county where he
has lived ever since the war and
where he invested his all, thus be-
coming thoroughly identified with
the people Of this State. He made
a thorou h canvass of his district
and was undoubtedly elected. which
fact he has clearly established before
the election committee of the house
and will in a few days be fullfedg-
ed congressman, as said committee
has ordered favorable report in bis
case.
Ihe republicans of the Fourth dis
trict aud of the whole State have
c"se to feel proud Of the Judge
who has made strong and success
fIl fight in their behalf.

The False Christ in State OF Mind.

ROCKFORD, Ill, April 7.-Schwein-
furth's latest sermon was directed
az ainst the press and reporters. He
pronounced the stories published about
himself and Heaven" a tissue of daily
reiterated lies and denounced reporters
As lost blackguards. The city Of Rock
ford, he said, was doomed to some swift
and fearful calamity, in which there
would be such spectacle of disaster as
would horrify the world. This would
be the result of the wickedness of the
city, and the sneers, scoffings and revel-
ings with which the citizens deluged

The Methodist Conference.

The Baltimore annual conference of The
M. E. Church South, in session in Baltimore,
yesterday heard presiding elders reports
! and transacted other business.
In the calling of the characters of the su'
perannuated and supernumerary preachers,
Rev. Nelson Head, of Leesburg, who in
point of service has but three seniors in the
conference, answered to his name and spoke
of his Sc years OF ecclesiastical service. He
was now so years old, he said, and 50 of
work of the ministry The saddest day of
his life was when he left the effective ranks
and took the superannuated relation.
When Rev. Mr.. Head had taken his seat,
Bishop Duncan, without saying word
started up the ringing old Methodist hi mn !:
"How firm foundation, ye saints Of the Lord"
The whole congregation joined in the
singing. after which Bishop Duncan told
how DR.. Head had helped him when he was
a young man, and of the benefits that he
had received from his association with the
venerable preacher.
The deaths of Gilsan Mauzg, of Fau
quier county, and l.. G Miller, of Harrison
burg, were announced, and their names
were referred to the committee on memoirs.

to ba dying. He entered the conference
in 1860, but had been local preacher for
many years before he was admitted. He
was the father of 81 children, and 90 of these
had been born when be entered the minis
try. Eccentric and peculiar as he was, he
wss known and loved By the people through
out the Valley of Virginia, where most of
his appointments were located. He was
superanuated at the 1885 session ofthe con
ference.
The following superaDuated clergyman
asked continuance in that relation, and it
was referred to the committee on superanu-
ated ministers Revs. Francis N. Mills,
George Stevenson, Henry Hoffman, John
Targue, Nelson Head, Wesley Hammond,
John W. Evan, Robert Smith, Andrew Ro.
hey, William Hedges, Presley B. Smith and
