The Second Race.

Since there has been some talk and perhaps
some feeling in reference to the declared re-
suit Of the recent primary elections, we make
the following quotation from the Constitu'
ton of the Democratic party in Abbeville
county:
Article 5-Section fat such primary elec-
tion those who receive majority Of all ute
rotes cast for the respective Offices. shall be de-
clared to be the nominees Of the Democratic
party tor such Offices"
In order to satisfy our own mind in refer
ence to the number OF blank ballots for the
House of Representatives, the ballots in each
box were counted, except Abbeville No. .,
which we could not find. The blanks for
House of Representa- yes in the other boxes
were, as follows, reference being here had 10

An Attempt to Disfranchise the Su.
preme Court.

In Mississippi State Convention has been
in session for several days. In considering
the qualification of voters 1t is reported
"The property qualification has been aban-
doned, and an educational qualification is
provided for, limited TO The dbilitV Of me roter TO
understand the constitution, when read to him."
To understand. or to interpret, the constitu
tion of any State is a problem which has vex-
ed the ablest lawyers and wisest judges oI
this country. If, therefore, tho standard OF
qualification is to be raised that high, VIC
shall expect great reduction In the number
of voters in Mississippi.

In all probability England, Belgium. and

An Indignation Meeting Held by the

An Indignation Meeting Held by the
Citizens OF Rockford, Ill.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-An immense
meeting of indignant citizens was held here
last night and everyone who attended the
meeting was determined that Schweinfurth,
the impostor, must be done away with.
The anger of some of the good citizens has
almost reached the top notch after learn
ing of the statement OF Mary Weldon, q
pure girl. who was highly connected and
respected before she became an angel in
Schgeinfurths heaven. The young lady
now boldly asserts that the child she is soon
to give birth to was conceived by the Holy
Ghost. will be of Immaculate conception.
About fifty of his followers before
the same congregation at which Miss Wei
don appeared, also declare to believe in the
immaculate conception. Rev. s. l.. Condo
and DIR. Z. G. Durnue made speeches be-
fore that meeting. in which they advised
the men not to use violence at first, but to
tell him he must get out He appointed
committee to call on Sweinfurth and tell
him he must leave the country, together
with the deluded women about him, and
that his band of men must also get out.
The committee will report at another meet
ing to be held later. II they do not leave
the country something else will be done.
During the meeting great excitement was
created by an apostle" who jumped to
his feet every few minutes and denied the
statements OF the speakers. He came very
near being thrown out and roughly han
died. Sweinfurth, il is said. has an armed
guard about his house. and his apostles say
there viii be bloodshed if an attack is made
by the citizens.

bears the seal of the grand harbor.
and 1t is stated that the steamer,

shall be the flagship of the Brotherhood on
the waters of the Pacific coast while the
commission is held in good faith, or until
the same is revoked. The colors must fiy
at the main-topmast-head of the steamer,
and all the members of the Brotherhood
must pay due respect to the flagship and
her commander by giving the right-of-way
when meeting or passing through the seas
or In the harbors, when the same does not
conflict with the rules of the road.
As the colors were hoated they were sa-
luted by Captain Smith, of the tug Ena,
passing. The colors, which now fly for the
first time on the Pacific coast, consist of a
pennant seventy-fve feet in length, and
twenty-foot flag. The latter has q blue
field with white circle, bearing on one
side the figures Is and on the other is.
These are the numbers of the two harbors
now organized on this coast.
