.enator Alfred H. Colouit.

Senator Alfred H. Colquitt, of
Georgia, died Monday morning, in
Washington, and there seems to be
no dissenting opinion, that one of the
best members of the body, of which
he was a member, has passed away.
The people of his State loved to
honor him and he served them sue
cessively as a member of Congress,
Governors and Senator-and his whole
life was an honor to them. He died
as he lived, a christian.

The question of an extra session of
the Legislature is already being dis
cussed by some of the papers of the
State. 1t is to be hoped that no
emergency may arise rendering it
necessary-and one thing is very GER
tain, that the necessity for it will
have to be very patent, if the people
of this section of the State approve
of it.

tn Growth of the Southern Methodist
Church.

THE growth of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South" said
Bishop Cranberry, in Il late inter
view, "has been rapid. We have
about 800, 900 members. In 1866,
when reorganization took place af-
ter the close of the war, we had
400 600 members. The Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, has its
greatest numerical strength in the
Gulf States. Farther north, in Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and
Maryland, the Methodist Episcopal
Church has its greatest numerical
strength. In Virginia, its strength
is proportionately less than the
Southern Church. We make no at
tempt to organize or extend the
church in the Northern States. We
have Il conference in Illinois. which
came TO the Southern Church after
the war. 1t included churches that
did not agree with the Methodist
Episcopal Church and which main
tanned an independent organization
during the war We have a number
of churches in the far West, but we
look upon these as something in the
nature of mission fields rather than
an expansion of the territory within
which the Southern Church was or
sanized. Mission work is also being
carried on by our church in Mexico:

ca s:Sbles by the cold
wave which swept over the South
last Sunday. 1t seems to be gener-
ally conceded that nearly all the ear
ly peaches, pears and cherries, from
Virginia to the Florida line, have
been destroyed, and in many sections
it is feared that strawberries, peas
and other vegetables have been bad
ly damaged. In the vicinity of Nor
folk, it is stated, that the pea crop
and strawberries have been severely
injured, but to what extent has not
yet been ascertained. AT Richmond,
Lynchburg and other points in Eir-
GINA, all the fruit, it is said, has been
killed, and in other sections damage
is even reported to wheat and the
grasses. The impression of every
one who offers an opinion in themat-
ter, seems to be, that enough dam
age has been done at least to make
this an off year il fruits of all kinds.

"a large number of educational in
stitutions are fostered by our church
We have enough of such institutions
to meet the demand, but these
schools and colleges need larger en-
dowments. The difficulty is that
there are few rich men in the South.
Men are beginning to amass fortunes
and a few have acquired them. 1t

tional institutions.
The Baltimore Conference, which
will meet at Fredericksburg, Va,

are to be brought before the con
ference.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
4 New Political Organization
Formed Last Evening.

A new political party is in the
field. 1t was formed last evening,
when about sixty persons met at
the Pacific Hotel. The new organ
ization is called THE Peoples
Party"
The party is organized, as one
of the members said last evening,
to urge the amendment of parts of
the Constitution which are not con-
sidered liberal enough. The prin-
cipal portion objected to is that of
a 5000 income qualification for
voters for Senators, and speeches
to this effect were made by C. II.
Luther, E. H. F. Wolters and others.
The new club intends to organ
ize fully, and to appoint commit
tees to canvass the different islands.
1t is claimed that the platform,
which will soon be drawn up, will
contain some planks which will
appeal to all, being perfectly loyal
to the present Government, but in
Guiding several more liberal ideas
than those now in force. 1t will
not be a secret society in any par
ticular, except in the fact that
motion was passed absolutely
excluding from membership
T. B. Murray, E. A. Towse,
and T. P. SEVERN, all prominent
members of the American League.
Anti-Asiatic principles will be one
of the strongest features of the con-
stitution, which will be drawn up
by a committee appointed for that
purpose.
The following temporary officers
were appointed: c. H. Luther,
President; E. H. F. Wolter, first
Vlce-PresIdent; J c. Quinn, second
Vice-Pre sident; II. ven Werthen,
Secretary.

Canadian Transatlantic Steamers

The London Times, May 81,
publishes a description of the
steamships that are to be employed
in the Anglo-Canadian mail service
in connection with the Pacific line.
"The dimensions of the four Allan
tic vessels are 572 feet in length,
81 feet beam, and depth of hold AZ
feet, with a load draft Of 80 feet,
making them the deepest vessels
aioat. They are two feet deeper
than the Cunard liner Lucania.
This great depth is rendered posi-
bic by the fact that the Canadian
and English harbors have deeper
waters than the harbor of New
York. The greater depth of the
new steamers allows of a stronger
hull and will give better results in
a sesway, ard also assist in the de-
velopment of speed. The freight
carrying capacities of the steamers
Ii fixed at $500 tons each in addi-
ton to a coal bunker capacity of
5000 tons. The engines are of 81
GOO horsepower, and they will
drive the vessel at speed of
twenty knots per hour in ordinary
