THE EVENING NEWS.


Ever since the time the Almighty dethroned
Satan for reputation Of the laws made and
provided for the government Of the Realm OF
Heaven, down to the present time, repudia-
ton has formed the grand basis Of everything
vile. unrighteous and unholy. There is
e,rn,t similarity in the two words, "repudia-
tion and "treachery," the first signifying
disnyowal of obligations, and the second
breach of faith, fidelity and trust: Before
satan attempted to set up for himself, and to
destroy the power to which he owed allegi-
ance. he repudiated its laws and found him
self jebased and degraded, stripped OF power
and hurled from the presence Of those against
whom his offense had been committed. Jeh.
Davis, the fiend incarnate Of the present ma
tional troubles, laid the foundation OF ms NE
of infamy in repudiating the just debts oi MS
State and the robbery Of those who had con-
fded in its integrity.
So, too, throughout all grades and asso-
Citations of life, among the ignorant, vicious,
and scheming, particularly when there Is any
thing which assimilates to trcachery to be
carried out, reputation is the brilliant me-
teor which lights them on the way. There Is
always some obstacle to be overcome before
their nefarious and cowardly designs can be
nut into execution, and therefore the dlsa-
vcwal Of obligations to, or reputation OF that
object, must be carried to ensure success.
Men who are guileless, who do not fear dis.
cussion as to their acts, who are brave and
courageous, never take sufficient notice oil
an opDosing body to deem it worthy OF being
repudiated. It is only your Sir Aguecheeks,
that have committed some mean and con-
temptible act, who design, under pretense, TO
rob and swindle, to deprive others Of the right
full enjoyment of an inherent right, and TO
abandon everything that is fair and honorable,
who repudiate. Jealousy, engendered by
fear that one party, BY his course OF conduct,
may attain credit and reputation which
others would be pleased to have turned to
their own account, leads to reputation, or,
in other words, to that feeling which is given
a source to flow in disappointed ambition,
hopes Of preferment and prosperity, which
can never be attained; all these lead to dis
| ayowal of obligations, and an entire aban-
donment of those principles of right and
honor which should actuate all men. The
| repudiated seldom or ever suffer by the act OF
| reputation, when conceived in sin, but the
| i'll effect generally reacts to curse its au-
thors. We all know, that is, from reading,
how beneficial the dethronement of Satan was
anu no one VIII pIe1eHu w ueny tL"s s"N -,
pudiation of his country by JEFF Davis will
be beneficial to it. OF course the ordeal the
country is now going through is trying one
but with right on its side it has nothing to
fear from the acts OF those who have repudi-
ated it. So too, a man, whose acts will bear
the light of day, whose views are founded on
the immutable principles of justice and right,
and whose aim is honor, integrity and COM
mon-honesty, need have no fear of triumph
ing over any such verdict as Reputation,
enunciated by the ignorant, venomous and
treacherous. ofthe Times.
