dlspleasure OF the statesmen While
pondcring the matter, he reached the
conclusion that he had but done his
duty, and he would stand by his dec
larations, no matter what nigh be said
or done.
In the meantime the passengers were
discussing the sermon and raising a
collection, The contributions were lib
eral, and one Of the passengers carried
to the preachers stateroom sum OF
money such as he had never handled
before. That afternoon the congress
men waited upon him and asked him
If he would permit the use OF his name
as a candidate for the position of chap
lain of the national house of repre-
scntntiyes. After giving the subject
prayerful consideration that afternoon
Mr. Milburn gave his consent to the use
OF his name. The boat landed at Wheel
ing, the congressman departed, and MIR.
Mlburn remained at Wheeling.
Although congress did not meet until
December, the western congressman

OF J. 4. Bates at Gadsden In Deoem-

The young preacher said that he had
| always been taught to respect people
[ high in authority, and had been led
| to believe that gentlemen who were
sent to congress were leaders of their
people in all things good. He had sup
posed that they were representatives
Of the people intellectually and morally

boat be had heard enough TO convince
him that if the representatives in con-
gress we're really presentatiyes of the
people, then this republic must be a ma
tion Of drunkards, gamblers and ungod-
ly men in every particular. With Wig
orous and direct English, such as few
men can use, the young preacher said
that as an American citizen he felt
outraged and disgraced, and that as
preacher of the Gospel he felt it to be
his duty to tell them that unless they
mcnded their ways they would all be
damned.
Probably no sermon was ever
preached in the presence of public men
which was so plain, direct, keen, cut
ting and effective. The average preach
CT lacks vim and independence. Ger

Of 1t. Right here in Washington some
so-ealled preachers never open their
mouths concerning wickeduess which
should be rebuked. These congressman
were dumfouuded when they were

streets are filed with excited people.
me congregation Of the Primitive
Methodist church last fall resolved
itself into a Congregational church and
continued to use the church and par
Sonage, no change being made except
IN name. About a dozen Of the PRINT
tive congregation refused to unite with
the new organization and determined
TO secure control of the property. They
elected some Of themselves trustees.
Last night certain parties forced them
selves into the church. barricaded the
doors and posted a notice on the front
o that the property was in the
hands OF the trustees of the Primitive
Methodist church and that any person
interfering with it would do so at his
reril. The barricaded party had re-
volvers and clubs and were prepared
TO hold their position. Then the eX-
citement became intense and nearly
the entire town fiocked down to the
place. One of the party was arrested
and locked in jail. He halls from Min
eral Point. He says he was hired by
the pretended trustees.
