Mon wbo have homes in the largo cities enjoy these maoeullne meet ings at the clubs, or tho modorn foreign reatanranta, bnt thl. would not do for the bachelor, of Albany, for they meet either to talk politics, to drink, or to "back the tiger” St “htaTta” OI poker. In either case, In fact all cases, a great deal of drlnklag ie dona at there gatherings; and aa they laat far put midnight, hanger must bo considered, there ie no food to be hwl In the nanal way In there lodging honeee, the problem how to •npply tho deficiency baa to be atudlod Men who drink heavily soon learn that the effects of aleobol diminish when food is par taken oft re that whenever a politician 1. found wlth .closet or cellar of liquors there to alto found good supply of edibles. One of the moat appetising of the dtohea that one often rnni across at poker or political parties there to broiled sardines. They are delicious and consort with otoret, sauterne, rhino wine, malt liquors or oven whisky; In ftet they are palatable with all ex cept sweat drink. The bachelor who offers them has two wire hollers. In one he puts seme slices of bread to be totaled, and In the other ae many sardines aa he can get between the ehceta of wire. If he has a grata Are he roasts tho bread and broils the little Ashes simultaneously. If he hat a parlor stove ho broils the Ashee Ant, and makes the toast hut, ae the Aohra will keopa few mlnutee with less damago to themselves than the toast will. Tho toast to then buttered and cat Into Angers, and one sardine, brollad dry of ell, to put on tach Anger of toast. Similar to the method of serving beefsteaks, and very tasty and welcome to a man who to drinking, lathis apparently commonplace dish found. It eounda as If it waa an ordinary tbiag, hut It ie not. In order to serve It to bto gnasU the bachelor must go to hu butcher about a week before he wants the most, and order the tanderest steak kept In the refrigerator until ha sends for It; or ho can take It home and pat It In hto own leebox, but It mast he a cold and airtight one, or tho meat will spoil. At Iho and or a week, or at the least fonr days, the beef will be found in good condition. It to then put Iu a broiler with lie upper aide covered an Inch doop with butter, well salted and peppered. When tho meat to to lie turned, the other side most be similarly buttered. Experienced men ssy thst women cooks are no good as a rule, and the reason Is that they era too economical. However that may bo, few women would put as nmrh butter on a beefsteak as this mothod of rooking requires. While tho steak is broiling, tho bachelor, in the presence of his gnosis, nerhape, cuts up some nice, new bread Into strips three Inches long snd half an Inch thick. Aftarwarda he cuts tho steak In tho asm. way, and hands each guest a bit of bread and steak togethor, to he eaten from the Anger*. It will be found unlike any steak to bo had at a hotel or roatan- rant It will molt on tho tangno, and Its del- iracy and savor will loach the heart even of an Indian. For a change, mutton kidneys are broiled In the lame way, and served on little piece* of bread and venr popular this year at the beat bachelor establlshmenta In Albany. Whole kidneys are need and when rooked a piece of butter to put In the center. For there who Ilka to "devil" thorn, red and black pepper mixed to handed around. Halt it nrceasary.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE. Bichmokd, Va., Hay 10.—In the Methodist Episcopal general conference today, Dr. M. B. Chapman, of Missouri, Introduced n preamble snd rerelntlon in relation to the confederation of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and the Methodist Episcopal churah, north. The preamble seta fourth,in •ubotance.thtt tho two churches have a common history and preach the same truth, and that the Cape May mis sion has been wholly disregarded; there fore, be It Resolved, That this general conference shall elect a committee ot seven, four of whom shal t bo clerical end three lay delegates, who shall meet a like committee from the Northern Methods rkurch in IASS, looking to a reunion of the two churches. The resolution further rets forth that it Is a sin snd folly for two Methodist chnrches to occupy the same territory. Dr. Chapman, In bto earnest advocacy of this rerelntlon. said that In hto state the sin ami folly of tbo matter bad been obwrved. Thst he baa seen in a small town of 400 or 600 in habitants. two Methodist churches raising altar against altar, a waste of men snd money and a waste of forces of onr Christianity. Brethren In tbo south, ho argued, have not this thing to contend with and know nothing of the dash which to mat with In the west, and know nothing of the facta in relation to tbo segrstlon of Methodism which to going under tho present state of affairs. Continuing Dr. Chapman said: ‘‘We who have seen this state of things are tired of this waste of mm and money. Where the northern Methodist church to in the eacondancy, we are dying by Inches and where we are In the as cendancy, that church la dying by inches. Dr. Whitehead, of Virginia, was In lavor of referring the matter to the committee on fra ternal correspondence. The question was discussed at some length and Anally was referred to a special committee, to be composed of one from each annual con ference. Another Important matter, looking In tbo san e direction, was the reference to an appro- £ iiata committee, the preparation ofacommon ynmal that may be used hy all different bodies of Methodism in the country. The committee on Itinerancy, to which was referred th* memorial from Looitvillo and Denver conferences, that provlsloa be made for tho appointment of evangelists, recom mended non-concurrence. Dr. Adams, of Georgia, thought that Ham Jones and other such men should have nomi- nal appointment*. Dr. Meeeick, of Louisville, strongly sup ported the report of the committee and waa in favor of allowing tho question of evangelism to stand as It is. He very forcibly contended that the cbnrch did not want specialists on this subject. That every Methodist preacher Is equally qnalidod to save ton Is. In the name or Methodism bo protested against such an Innovation, and when be concluded there was a hearty “amen.” Dr. Neely, of Texas, said that these evan gelists, as far as he know, were rnnning on a plan of religion made easy. In tho namo of the Methodist cbnrch, and of the entire cbnrch of God, bo hoped thst the measure wonld fall. Dr. WinAeld. of Arkansas, said that if the memorial la adopted, that every gum log In Methodist connection will bo an evangelist In tbo next live years. “Do yon know what a gura log Is?” tho doc- tor asked. “It to one you can’t do anything with. When I waa in Enrone with Bishop Wilson wo were shown a certain kind of treo there called “feminine oak.” You can’l|spllt It or do anything with It. It Is Just like a wo man, when aha will she will and you can’t do anything with her. There to bat one Ham Jones in the world, snd there will never bo bnt ono, and every little fellow that trios to bo Ilka Bam Jones will fall- You ran make no more on that line. Ho to by himself You can bavo hot one, and if yon attempt to dupli cate him yon will surely fall. (Laughter.] He has turned Chicago bpeldo down, and any man who has the courage to attack Chicago cannot be duplicated. He to being heard in Baltimore. Ha is the man of the century. We don't want any evangelist* among south ern Methodists. We have already the grand est machinery In tho world. Brethren, I toll yon what to the matter, you go along lifeless and dead. Bakindle the dree In your own church, for it Is Umo Methodist mluistora wore looking this matter In tbo face.” Dr. McFerrin said it meant a subversion of tho itlnersnoy plan and a revolution in Intln- i n-y work. Way back yonder, 7S yearn ago, It'was attempted. That was wbat created Lorcnro Dow and everybody living In hto day knew the aplrlt and foaling he hod towards the Methodist cbnrch end government. A great many allusions have been niado to Bata Jones. I have hoard him. I understand that be to working for tho Orphans' home in Geor gia, and ha goea out hy appointment from the bishop. Suppose wo pas* a tow making Ham Jones an evangelist? Then ho is conAned to Georgia, never to go to Chicago or Balti more, bat stay in tho back- woods of Georgia. If you pas* that subatltute you will clip Hai% Jones’s wing and he goes no more out of Georgia. I)r. Andrews, of Mississippi, offered a subatl tute for the wholo matter. Hto substitute provided for tho appointment of tbo evangelist* nndereettain conditions to bo defined by the conferences appointing them. Mr. Machen, of Kentucky, was opposed to “erratic missionaries,” and several other dele gatee took the same position. After a lengthy and Interesting discussion of tho matter the substitute wet trjcctecf and the report of tho committee was adopted by an almost unani mous vote. Dr. Fotenon, of Virginia, from tho commit tee on Biblea, submitted a half doran report* in relation to change* in discipline. He also submitted a report of hto committee in regard to a memorial from the Mltourl conference, asking that the word “sonth” be eliminated from too name of tho Methodist Episcopal church, south, and a re port on tho resolution providing that church members signing peUUons for the sale of In- toxlraling liquors may bo dealt with os case* of Imprudent and Improper conduct. l)r. WinAald, of Arkansas, said that such a resolution amounted to absolutely nothing, because In the Ant place tho maanal was al ready generally recognised aa an able com mentary on law. Secondly, the book has been officially indorsed by being placed in the courts of study for younger members of the conference. Thirdly, the thet that th* author of the book explicitly, a few days ago. do- eland the book was possessed of no official authority whatever. Fraternal delegate* from the Methodist Epis copal church to this general conference are ex- psrtid in Blchmond this week. They are Kev. John Wiley, D. D„ of Drew Theological semi nary, and Governor Foraker, of Ohio Bicuhond, Va., May 14.—The Methodist Episcopal conference opened today with ordi nary religion* exercise*. Among the reporta a very Interesting one was made on the sub ject of education, proposing th* establishment of fonr bibliral schools, with other nutters of general literary interest to the denomination. A resolution waa offered, signed by Dr. T. J. Dodd, of Tennessee, U. F. Taylor, H. P. Walker and others, railing fora change In the rubrics of th* church touching the invitation to the Lord’s supper. The resolution proposes that the invitation read: “All that do truly and earnestly repent of yonr tins and intend to lead a new life, living in love and charity with yonr neighbors.” etc., Instead of “All that do truly repent of yonr tins and era in love,” etc. The committee on nvtoal presented their report. The committee had referred to it a paper In regard to dancing; also, a clausa tot- bidding doneeo, attending the circus and opera. The committee fully agree that Hues evils are directly contrary to th* general rale* which are sufficiently coiapteheuslve to cover each rates, and recommend that said evils should be corrected under the tow as it now stands. A resolution was offend that Sunday school snpeiii tendcnts be not allowed to serve more then fonr year*. Also a resolution to appoint a minion evangelist Both were referred. - I till ft’ tart Cut Bouts Wuk Doutifritr. BsT'Vti rale by all ItsnggMa and Peotnea eugU-wkyly THE DAYS OF ’68. The gubernatorial campaign ot ’rixty-etght will forever stand without a parallel In our histo ry. It wa* something more than a battle of ballot*. It waa almost a civil war. Even now It la difficulty apeak calmlv of that mighty upheaval. The entire commonwerit b waa convulsed. Under the protection of federal bayo nets a gang of aliens, carpetbaggers and negroes come down like wolves on the fold and proceeded to devour tho state itrelf. For a time it aeemed that the shattered wreck of our civilization would be swept away. It was dangerous even to protest The commander of the “Third Military District” bad bis spies everywhere. He waa ready at a mo ment's notice to arrest our citizens and hurry them before a court martial organized to convict. It was not enough to tum a proud state, one of the Old Thirteen, Into a military district. We were forced to endure the humiliation of having a mil itary governor, a Granger who had not a single interest in common with our people. With the army and navy of the United State* arrayed against us; with the machinery of government violently wrested from our hands, and with all the rampant and rapacious cohorts of radicalism and carpet- l,agism united in their savage onslaught upon a defenceless people, the outlook wo appalling. When the radical state convention finished its work in the spring of sixty-eight, it ordered an election to take place on the 20th of April, and the three followitg days. This election was to ratify or reject the new constitution, and elect a governor aid general aiscmbly. Then came the tug of war. The republicans, being well organized, and sup ported by the swords and bayonets of a conquer ing army, nominated their candidate for governor, and opened the campaign with an Insolent flour ish of trumpets. At first they were under the de lusion that they would sweep on to an easy victo ry. They believed that a war-worn people would feel reluctant to renew the strife, even when liberty was at stake. These adventurers had much to tempt them. They saw a state, one of the largest in the nnjon, and destined by nature to be one of the richest, lying prostrate at their feet, a glittering prize inviting forcible seizure. Soldiers of fortune rushed in from everywhere, eager to be in at the death, and panting to divide the spoils. Among those flocking to the republican standard were ox- union soldiers, camp followers and bushwhackers; mercenary free lancers from Russia and Poland; speculative reformers from tbo banks of tho I’ia- cataqufs, and the entire African contingent. Such a tumultuous tidal wave never before in the hbtoiy of the world threatened to overwhelm a civilized state. The white people of Georgia, or the democrats, for very few white Georgians In those days were not democrats, feet that the issue was virtually lib erty or death. Tho complete triumph of the re publican* meant the destruction of law, order and society, a wild period of anarchy, and then anoth er attempt at reconstruction. It was a time to try men's souls. Many of our most patriotio citizens were in despair. Secret societies, called “onion leagues,” dotted the state and controlled the ne groes. On our side, too, thero were excesses, the natural outgrowth of oppression. The kuklux klan was an institution in those days. About this time the democratic clubs, composed ofthe older citizens, were reinforeod by supple mentary organizations called “Young Men’s Dem< ocratio clubs.” The first of thoso societies was or ganized In Atlanta, and others soon sprang up ev erywhere. The two organizations were In thor ough harmony, carryiug out the old maxim, “Old men for counsel.young men for aetlou.” The demo cratic executive committee was composed of E. G. Cabaniss, chairman; E. A. NUbct, J. J. Gresham- James Jackson, G. W. Adams, L. N. Whittle, J. R. Snead, A. W. Reese, A. R, Wright, J. Hartridge, N. Tlft,P. W. Alexander, J. I. Whittaker, J. A* W. Johnson, and 8. J. Smith. Early in the campaign, as it waa not feasible to call a state convention, this committee nominated Judge Augustus Ream for governor. In the coarse of a few days Judge Roese discovered that under tho reconstruction acta he waa not elcgible. IIo therefore declined to run, and recommended Judgo David Irwin. Rapid work waa necessary. Judge Irwin was nominated, lie accepted, but after conference with the mili tary authorities retired from the race, it having been ascertained that General Meade, tho com mander of the district, held him Ineligible. llytbls time the democrats were nerved to tho highest pitch of excitement. The election was less than a month off ami they had no candidate for governor. Naturally the older statesmen were thought of first. Name after namo was considered, but It was found that all were disqualified under the in famous leg illation of congress. It became evident that some young man, who had not held office before the war, would havo to be chosen. But wbat young man would havo the firmness and daring to make the fight? How could he rally to his support the entire white population of the state? Like a flash of inspiration came tho name of John B. Gordon. He had never been a politician. He was eligible, and although a young man, hi* name was la every body’s mouth. He was loved and honored aa the hero of a hundred fights; as tho right hand of the illustrious Lee; as the Bayard of the southern army. So the executive committee called apubltc meet ing at Davit hall. The house was filled to over flowing. Fully 3,000 people were present. After clearly stating the situatlon.Chatrman Cabaniss In formed the audience that the commltteo favored the nomination of General John B. Gordon, and he desired to hear from the citizens present. The nc ruination waa ratified unanimously, and with the wildest enthusiasm. A committee immedi ately notified General Gordon of his nomination, and conducted him to the ball. Ills reception was a cyclonic furore of applause, punctuated with rebel yells. >Vlth the modest dignity characteristic of the man, the general accepted the perils and re sponsibilities imposed upon him and made the opening speech of the campaign. His bold and ringing eloquence convinced every hearer that “The man and the hour .had met.” Davis hall never wit nessed such a scene before or since. The thun derous applause rocked the structure to Its founda tion stones. The wild cheers threatened to uplift the roof. Old men cried from exceaof joy, and fair women ran the thk of spllttlig their rosy palms as they clapped their tiny hands. Meade’s Judge advccste general, was agha«L The federal spies gnashed their teeth In their rage. Union leaguers and carpet baggers slunk out of the hall and fled in the darkness. It was evident that a revolution was brewing. It waa a revolution,and in the end it was success ful. But it had to go through night to light. Gor don’s nomination electrified the people from the mountains to the seaboard. Every confederate veteran raised his voice for hta favorite hero. The young men, with that intense admiration for chiv alry characteristic of youth, gave themselves, heart and band,to the cauae of Georgia’s redemption. The young voters of the present generation are fomtlUr with the ovations to Fltzhugh Lee in the guber natorial campaign of last vear. They were tame affaire by the side of Gordon's recep tions everywhere. From county to county the people's choice went. amidst a perfect whirlwind of acclamations. His tour re sembled a royal progreoa. The radical campaign speakers were dismayed, but they knew how to hold their, black clans together, and they held them. The fonr days election was an outrage. It was devised to -ult the convenience of the republican leaden in marching squads of negroes across the ccuctry, thus repeating votes tn several counties. During this protracted struggle at the ballot box the democrats, almost to a man, quit business. They left their fields, workshops, stores and offices, and worked as men do when Ufo is stroke. Wh«t waa the re sult? There has never been but on* answer to this quettlon. If anything la certain, it Is abso lutely certain that the gallant Gordon was elected by several thousand majority. But the programme waa to cheat him it th« y could not beat him, and the cheat was car- ikd out. We bad then a board of registration that controlled the election return*. It was & radi cal con ctm, and the following circular seat out from its headquarters will explain the methods Uked to count out Gordon. “Office Hcpf.kintendent Reomtbatiom, At- Itnta. Ga , May 8, lMfi -Dear Sir: Yours of 6th to hand. We want affidavits proving force, Band, in- tJmidatton in violation of general orders. We man have them, and plenty of them.

You can swear them before ——-• Please go to work sharp and quick. The election in your county will be contested. Defend yourselves by attacking the enemy. Respectfully, etc., “E HULBXRT.r This circular makes It plain to even the way faring man. Backed up by the army and the gen eral government, the radicals did not hesitate to steal the state government. The fruits of thia forced radical victory were )*olsononv. Georgians continued to look upon Gordon aa their duly elected governor. Under his leadership their spirit had flamed up with lts old- time brightness and heat. They felt that they had practically won the day, and all they had to do was to remain solid. Gordon, with soldierly calm ness, accepted the Inevitable, glorying in the pa triotism of hla supporters, and cheered by the as surance that they wonld yet reap the delayed liar- vest. But the men who were cheated out of their votes did not conceal their Just wrath. Probably there waa not a mau among them who did not swear, or at least register an emphatic resolution to overturn the fraud, to right the wreng and give Gordon his own as aoon as the voice of the people could be heard. Even the younger voters, for whose information this la chiefly written, recollect how the move ment broded by Gordon finally turned out. It had so solidly arrayed the virtue and intolllgenoe of the commonwealth against radicalism and its Iniquitous methods that the dark fabric gradually melted away liko the baseless fabric of a virion. Tho carpet-baggers left tbo state for the state’s good. Tho pock of hungry adventurers turned upon each other and stung themselves to death. All the debris of des potism was carted off, and the free people of this liberty-loving commonwealth regained the right of local self-government, and with God’s help they are going to keep it! This is but the barest outline of a reminiscence of a dark and yet a glorious period in our history. It suggests thoughts that must thrill even the dull est; thoughts that “must stir a fever in the blood of age,” and cause the most sluggish pulso to leap at the touch of a noble inspiration. The man who was rightly and Justly hailed aa the leader who redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled Georgia in ’sixty-eight is still among ui. We have never righted the great wrong which ho bore nncom- plalningly for our sake, but we can right it now. The man and the opportunity stand face to face. Why should tbezo two not be wedded? The people will not forbid the bans. Drummers Tell or Girls on Railroad Trains.
