THE NEXT

The Carolinian is watching closely the gathering
of the storm, the marching and counter-marching
of the elements; and already undertakes to point
out the darkening cloud thatthreatens, most sure
ly, to pass over US in the year 1860. Just such q
storm We would prefer to encounter, for the sake
of the Union. 1t would possess no such terrific
power as that welded by anti-slavery. But we
cannot persuade ourself that the Northern mind
will consent to be diverted from the Abolition SEN
timent-a sentiment as deeply rooted as a second
nature; nor should the South, with this power
full sentiment prevailing against her, turn aside to
inferior purposes. In the election of 1860, we
prophesy, the Carolinian will find the question Of
s.free trade and direct taxation occupying the di-
vided attention of local cliques-aud in no State
rising 10 the position Of q great party question.
And We are earnest in the opinion that we should
not permit it, in these times, to clogthe wheels as
We progress towards our great desidsratum-tbe
union of the South. We copy the Carolinian's ed
itorial -.
New York and Philadelphia, are twoo of the most
important centres of trade; New York State and
Pennsylvania are two of the most influential

this view, we shall at once perceive the great I'm

A "TRIP U VEST.


Mr.. Editor AS my last embraced so much re-
latiug to the episcopacy, you will not object, per-
haps, if l make a remark or TWO about Methodist
doctrine as to that office.
Bishop is o Bible term, very justly rendered
from the original, meaning ouerseer or 'upertntsn-
misunderstanding office and not order. A Bishop
with US being simply a p~re'6yter or elder, chosen
by his equals, and set apart or orr aimed for the
discharge of correctional, executive and admintstra-
tivs fuuctions-a chief pastor Of preachers and
people that is, the whole of our belief and teach
ing. Not very pretentious or unintelligible either.
No Bishop was elected at the recent session,
though Bishop CAPsRs had died since the last
General Conference, and one or two others repor-
ted themselves as in failing health. Of course it
is not o law to elect one or more at every session.
The Church, South, had two to begin with in
1874, SoULE and ANDREW. CAPERs and PAINE
were elected in 1916 at Petersburg; BAscoN In
1860 at st. Louis, and died the same year
PIERCE, EARLY and KAvANNAuaH, in 1854.
The Church, North, has elected four since the
division-s1MPsoN, sooTT, BAKER and AMEs. The

GEN. WALLACE.

The Charleston Mercury, alluding to q rumor OF
the death of this distinguished citizen, says
.sGen. WALLACE is one of the soundest, best in
formed, and ablest men in the State. His death
would be a public loss, which the South, sooner
or later, would feel sensibly. His powerful con-
~stitution has for some time past, we learn, been
struggling with dropsy of the chest. We trust
the above painful news has no foundation, and
that he will yet live long to edo the State som
service"
A letter from Union, received last Saturday, in
formed us that the General had so far recovered
as to permit his removal from Wilson'S Springs,
where he has been sojourning for o m weeks, to
his home in Union District; and that, although he
was still extremely i'll, q reasonable hope was en-.
~tertained Of his restoration to health. General
WALLACE has many and warm friends in York, who
would extend to him q heartfelt sympathy in this
heavy affection, and who yet indulge q confidence
that a rigorous constitution will weather out the
storm and permit him to add many years to an
honorable and useful career.

A BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT.

Those who pass by HARE's Marble Yard will not
fail to admire the beautiful marble monument, to
Col. WILLIAM WRIGHT. In the quality of mate
rial, beauty of design, and exquisite workman
ship, it is all that the most refined taste could re-
ouire; and as the production Of a native and self,
taught artist, it is worthy Of special praise. We
are now sure that Mr.. HARE viii meet the most
difficult requirement that can be made Of him. in
a style not to be surpassed in the marble-yards OF
Columbia or Charleston; and in behalf Of a wor-
thy home-meohanic, we ask our people to visit
his establishment, see for themselves the many
evidences Of remarkable talent, and entrust to him
their orders, no matter how much Of artistic skill
they may demand, with the most implicit conn
dence.
As far as Mr.. HARE is concerned, no one can
now have the slightest ground for refusing to pat
ronise home industry, His prices are as low as
they are elsewhere; and his workmanship Is not
surpassed.

Without entering on O labored argument on this
matter, to prove or ~disprovs, let it suffice to say,
that common sinners do disapprove'thc dance OF
popular ''shape and form" for an Amusement"
lily becoming the Christian; nor can the christians
indulge in it, without in some degree bringing a
reproach on themselves in the profession which
they make. Now, why is this? Nor csn O chris
Itiau on entering on the performance Of o dance,
implore upon his knees the blessings of God to at
tend him in It. Why is this? Nor will a Minis
ter of the Gospel of Jesus Christ be tolerated in
this nor any other evangelical community ut all,
when found partaking in n dance to-day, and in
the services of religion in hisprofession on to-mor-
row. How is this explained if the dance "cannot
be Objectionable. Sooner rule Of right action here
is certainly brought to bear upon him; what is
this rule? On the whole, Job says. Of the wicked,
that "their children dance" Oh. 81: The dance Of
the daughter Of Herodias, cast "the head Of John
the Baptist in q prison. Mark, Oh. 6.
With respect to the "puritanical' character Of
the "prejuiice'' Of the people Of Yorkyille, on the
matter of dancing, Of which Comm speaks, have
to soy. Would to God that Christians in all places,
were not only ''puritauical" in q dance, but also
in some other matters; for then they would not
hold fellowship with any who have q dread of
death because Of any sin and would bring in
question the right Of any mere man, to prescribe
and dictate to them the principles of religion they
should possess and what forms in religion they
should observe; and then would their superiority
and purity in modes Of worship, be q standing re-
proof to all who use silly rites, foolish habits, and
idle ceremonies in religious service; as were the
Puritans of old and then would we most cheer
fully submit for Christ's sake, to all and any per-
s~ecution for dance or for the simple worship Of
our God, as once did the Puritans in England.

WASHINGTON, June 23.
The entire history of our diplomatic Intercourse
with the British Government does not furnish an
instance in which any complaint or remonstrance
on our part, in regard to an encroachment upon
our rights, has been met with so much promptuess,
or With such willingness to do US justice, as In

nicated to the Secretary Of State on Monday, az
forded, asI stated yesterday, entire satisfaction
to this Government, so far as the late outrages arc
concerned. This despatch meets the suggestions
and complaints contained in the letters Of Gen.
Cas- to MIR. Dallas Of the 18th, and 18th May.
Not q single suggestion made by Ger. Cass in

that which regards t'proper measures for the pre-
yention of the recurrence Of similar acts hereaf-
ter" The aggressive proceedings are arrested,
and we stand on this question, just whore We did
before their occurrence-neither better nor worse.
As q means Of preventing the renewal Of such

to negotiation. Whether the arrangement can be
affectedor not 10 uncertain. The Jealousy with

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The feet having on board the wires for the
ocean telegraph left Plymouth Sound on the 10th
ult., for mid. ocean. 1t was expected that they
would reach the desired point and commence the
work of submerging the wire, o time between
the 10th and Goth ult. Our latest arrivals bring
us no intelligence in regard to the feet; indeed
we may expect none until the failure or success OF
the great enterprise is finally determined. The
following are the rules which have been drawn up
for the expedition -
Erst.-In case the cable should break after a
definite amount-say $50 miles-had been payed
out from each ship, the ends are to be reunited
after recovering as much as possible, and the pay
ing out is to be renewed unless circumstances may
have arisen to induce the engineer to determine
otherwise, especially in the event Of q larger por-
ton of slack having beeL expended than was reck-
oned upon. ,
Sccond.-If signals should fail to be received
between the paying out of ships, the engineers will
continue paying out for at least six hours, and 30
much longer as the electricians and engineers may
deem necessary and desirable.
Third.-In case electrical signals fail as the
chips approach the land, without other evidence
of brokerage, soundings at the time being not
deeper than two hundred fathoms, the ships are to
70 on paying out and land the ends.
Fourh.-In case the cable break after more
than two hundred and fifty miles have been paid
ont from each ship, and before it has been possible
to reach sounding Of two hundred fathoms, the
ships are to return to Queenstown for orders.
Ef6.-The cables are to be united in Lot. 81
deg. 2 min. N, long. 83 deg. 10 min. W.
Sirh.-After the cable has been successfully
laid, Mr.. Field is authorized to dispose of any
surplus cable that may remain, at a rate of not
less than s75 (sS75) per statue mile Of 1880
yards. ,
' SeycnA.-After the cable is laid the machinery
on board the United States steam frigate Niagara
is to be taken on to New York and transhipped
from the Niagara on board o vessel bound for the
United Kingdom.

The Church Of Christ is the depositorytof OIL
we know Of morals oil sound faith and whole
some practice has its origin here. Temperaucsis
abundantly herein taught, and the obligation laid
uponthe world, to practice temperancein connec-
ton with the members of the church is Of no
doubtful authority nor have men here the power
to frame, to alter, and amend the pledge mo put
ting in of sweet into the bitter cup, to suit the
relish Of the sinners taste; no coming In, and
going out at the will of man no, we are al bound,
not by our assumpsit simply to each otherbut
we are oil bound to practice temperance under
the promise, and penal sanction Of the law Of God:
How has it come to pass then, that men IN Tenn
perance Societies do charge, that ''The Church Is
aiding, and abetting this diabolical conspiracya-
gainst the bodies and souls Of men" in the failure
Of all its members to become members Of voluntary
Temperance Societies !!
The Christian Church has been for ages the
nursing mother Of 'temperence in all things )" and
has always been enforcing her precepts in this
matter, by promise, example, and penal laws.-
Temperance Societies Is the child Of the Church,
will temperance men assume to be dictators to the
Church, arraign her members, try and condemn
them as utter outlaws, because they do NOT think
proper Of their own free will and accord to become
members Of temperance societies! III I hope thst
men will reconsider this matter.
lay down the following: Rule 1. In any, and
in all cases, whea A can be delivered, and can on.
ly be delivered from destruction by the influence
of B, when cast into tho scale Of membership to-
temperance society; then it becomes the moral
duty off so to do in the given case.-Com-
mandmeat, vi. Ezod. 20: 13.
2. In any, andin every case, whereC, of his own
accord, does consent to become q member ola
temperance society; andtherein to devote his time
and talents oil to God, he does well IL Is aJres-

but, If he be not willing to become o member ofa
voluntary temperance society, to the Lord 10
doth not make the frse-wiW offering there nor Is
there any moral obligation on him 50 to do.-

IAn E1eetixs Iudtcisrx.

The New York Herald, speaking Of the degene-
racy In tho Judiciary of New York, says:
,"Now, 1t Is easy to see that the true cause Of
the decline in the sound administration Of criminal
justice in this city is the deterioration in the char
acter Of the judiciary caused by the election OF
Judges. Ever since the principle Of an elective
judiciary was adopted in this Stat, the Judges
have been declining in worth, talent and charac-
ter. Nor could it be otherwise. The power Of
nominating the Judges who administer justice in
this metropolis has now fallen into the bands Of
the lowest, most uupriucipieda and most debanchsd
class in the communicable ward politicians
The bench is their creature and tits consequently
what people see"
It is we'll for Us to regard the experience Of our
neighbors, that we may profit by it. There can
be no doubt that our Judiciary system has always
occupied q position Of which we3msy well be
proud. Indeed, our State systemhss been one
calculated to bring to the highest perfection this
important department Of government. There Is
scarcely q district in the State that is not repre-
sented by at least one lawyer. This keeps con-
stantly in the Legislature Q large body of man
thoroughly familiar with the Legal acquisition and
mental structure of the members Of their profess
sion. It is their interest and their pride that the
Judiciary should be ably presided over. Having,
therefore, the disposition, and the experience and
knowledge to guide that disposition, it is but nat
ural that their selections as q general rule should
be creditable to their profession. Our judiciary
system is based upon good moral principles, and
must necessarily be pure and elevated. In this
we are confirmed not only by our experience, but
by that of other States where the a~spirants for
judicial honors have been made to give evidence
Of their qualifications, not at the bar, but on the
political hastings. The pulpit, the bench, and
the busting, have each their separate. sphere Of
action, and they can never be associated without
seriously ~divestiDg from their exalted and pecu-
liar prerogative the two former, and yitiating them
by an inferior alliance. -Cdrolnian.
