jefferson County Politics.

The Democratic Executive Commit
tee Of Jefferson County met in Charles
Town on last Friday, to arrange for
the coming political campaign. We
have not seen cficial copy of the pro-
ceedings, but learn that Saturday the
10Th day OF April is the time fixed for
the primary election for county Off
GERS. The unit rule was adopted as
to all candidates residing in the
county, but exceptions were made as
TO non resident candidates for the
iudgeship and State Senate. They are
to have the privilege Of naming the
delegates in any precinct, in the
county. that they may carry. 1t is
not clear why this discrimination
should have been made.

ERGUSoN

A telegram was received here on
Monday from Leesburg, Loundon
county Virginia announcing the death
of Rev. sydney q. Ferguson who ex-
pired very suddenly at his home in
that placei Monday morning. Altho ugh
the immediate cause of death was not
announced it is presumed that 1t was
due th hear failure The intelligence
was received in Martinsburg with the
keenest regret by the dead clergyman's
many friends conn ny as it did
neutrality-suspicious. announcement of his
lness.
Mr.. Ferguson was one of the most
prominent aud widely known minis
tiers of the Methodist Episcopal church
south in this section of the Vlrginiss.
For several years he was the popular
pastor of Trinity Methodist church IN
Martinsburg, having been succeeded
here upon his removal 10 another field
by Rev. G. ID. Harris who was close
personal friend Mr.. Ferguson occu-
pied many important pastorates dur
ing his very successful career in the
ministry and for years was presiding
elder,of his church. He was gentle
man of many admirable traits of char
acter and had many friends in each
community III whibh he slaborec. DE
was a we'll known advocate OF the
cause of temperance and visited many
cities to speak from the platform up
on this'subject. HIS last appearance
in Martinsburg was on the occasion OF
the temperancesneeting at the central
Opera House during the last munici-
pal campaign.
At the outbreak of the war between
TIE states he, espoused the cause OF the
South aud entered the Confederate
army. AT the organization OF Mdsby's
battalion he enlisted with the dashing
commander and until the close Of the
war was one the most daring Of that
daring little army. Mr.. Ferguson es-
pecially disting uished himself by the
capture Of the, Federal General Blazer
who started out with the boast that he
would soon catch all of Mosby's men
or drive them from Virginia. Mosby
sent a mere detachment after Blazer
They took him so completely by sur
prise that his men, though Z rec or four
lbne, broi ranks and ran for their
lives. Mr.. Ferguson took after Blazer
and after giving him tap on the side
of the head with his revolver the gen
eral drew reins and surrendered. The
fame of the daring young confederate
spread far and wide.
He has been located at Leeshurg
since ne left here and was greatly re-
spected and loved by his people. He
is survived by his wife, and 81 X daugh
ter all by former wife. The fun era
took place In Charlestown on Wednes
day abont noon A number of his Old
friends went from here to the funeral

The United States Supreme Court has
upheld the provision in the new Ala
bama constitution with respect to the
qualification Of voters. The result Of
that provision will no doubt be TO
greatly reduce the number of negro
votes, but as it operates upon whites
and blacks alikesit does not infringe the
federal constitution Of course fewer
whites than blacks will be affected but
that in itself furnishes no legal cause
for complaint.
