COUNTY TREASURER SANDERS, OF
Lancaster, has p i'd the one thousand
dollars awarded Miss Gertrude Cole
msn, OF Caroline county, for damages
in breach OF promise suit. Mr.. San
ders rendered to the lady's attorneys a
check for the amount payable to Miss
Coleman. The attorneys returned the
check to Mr.. Sanders aud when he
made 1t payable to the attorneys 1t was
accepted. This looks as though the at
torney did not want his client to get
her hands on the money first. evidently
fearing another breach OF promise.

THE CONVENTION.

The session of the constitutional cou-
veutiyu yesterday practically went by
default for want of a quorum. Forty
FIVE members only answered at roll-call
After q motion to adjourn was made q
bare quorum was counted, but it was
found that the chair OF two committees
with reports before the convention were
absent, and it was deemed inadvieable
10 proceed with the business so impor-
tant with 40 small number present,
and the convention then adjourned.
Some very plain talk took place after
wards. Chairman Goode said he felt
Inundated. There was talk OF re-
newing Mr.. Walton Moore's motion to
abolish the committee of the whole. II
this is not done plan will be offered
to decide questions in that body by an
aye and nay vote, so as to publish the
absentees to their constituents. 1t was
stated by some of the members that o
quorum had been technically reported
quite often when it would not stand an
actual count. Mr.. O'Fisherty yester-
day moved for a call of the convention,
and the eergeant-at-arms would prob
ably have been sent out but for the ab-
seuce OF the chairman giving valid
reason for adjournment.
There was short executive session
OF the judiciary committee yesterday,
10 which there was warm discussion
of the subject of judicial apportionment
but nothing was accomplished. The
subcommittee appointed to arrange
the districts think twenty-five circuits
and that number of judge, exclusive OF
the corporation judges, will be sufficient.
1t was on this point that the discussion
turned. No action was taken.
IL is stated in Richmond on good au-
thority that ex-senator John NJ. Thurs
ton and Judge l.. l.. Lewis, former
president OF the Virginia Supreme
Court, have been employed by the Ne.
gro Educational and Industrial Asso-
citation TO contest whatever suffrage
plan the constitutional convention may
adopt. 1t lie said these counsel both
agree that the two plans offered are In
violation of the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution, and that no time will
be lost in carrying ii to the Supreme
Court. James II. Hayes, q colored
lawyer, was appointed by recent con.
vention OF the above.named association
to employ counsel to fight the suffrage
law, and he, with FIVE other oolored
lawyers, will be associated with Thurs
ton and Lewis.
The democratic members of the con-
vention are getting in shape for the
conference, which is to take place to-
morrow night for the purpose of con-
sidering the various reports OF the sufi-
rage committee. ALI the democrats
have signified their intention OF attend
ing, since it is Q conference" rather
than caucus" and since no one is to
be bound by its action.
The Treat-Gregory contest, which has
dragged through the ninety days Of the
session, is fixed for consideration on
Thursday, but it is not ali certain that it
will be disposed Of then, az one or two
committee reports are pending.
The whole contest seems to hinge on
Beulshyille precinct in King William
county, and from the multiplicity OF re-
ports the members are far apart 10
their calculations. The debate may last
several days.

Rev. DIR. PARKHuRsT 10 a sermon 10

Rev. DR.. PARKHURsT 10 a sermon 10
the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church in New York on Sunday
likened CzolgOsz, the assassin, with the
Tammany city administration. Among
other things be said: "It would send
a thrill through the whole pulsing body
of the times if in the same hour that
Czolgosz goes to the electric chair the
general body OF our local government
could be put iu the chair along Wild
him, and anarchy individual and
anarchy organized be--coDsigned to the
abysses OF reprobstion by one and the
same current OF electric damnatioD."
Such language from o minister OF the
Gospel is not calculated to do the
cause of which be ia a champion much
good. DR.. Parkhurst has for several
wears been gradually but surely enter
ing an eclipse. His cheap notoriety
has nearly ebbed, and his harsh LAM
guaRe in reference to the Tammany or
ganization is but the chickering's in the
socket of an expiring career. The i'm
potency of ministers of the Gospel to
make straight that which is crooked 10
politics or governments is apparent and
has been since the foundation of Chris
tiauity, and the early propagstors OF
the faith were careful to avoid all mud
dies incident to ideas on political
economy. Preachers who persist In
enlisting in political crusades do the
cause they profess much harm and
often lose the respect of their hearers.
