Christmas Party.

Amid the general enjoyment incident to the
Christmas holidays, We are pleased to learn the
pupils connected with the North Carolina Insti-
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind had
good time. The liberal contribution made by
members of the Legislature and others, already
mentioned in this paper, enabled the Principal
to make suitable provision for their enjoyment.
On Christmas night bountiful supper was pre-
pared by the excellent housekeeper, after which,
the pupils We're assembled in the chapel, where,
on the stage were two holly trees Illuminated
with wax tapcrs, and loaded with books, toys,
confectioneries, sc. A number of visitors were
present, who seemed to psrtake of the general
enjoyment with the pupils. After a few remarks
by the Principal and Rev. Mr.. Ashley, the pres
ents were distributed A happier crowd VIC never
saw, and it must be pleasant to those who con-
tributed, to know of the great pleasure and de-
light they afforded these unfortunate children
who could not spend their Christmas with the
loved ones at home.

wonderfuI and biblical.

There is paper in this city that c'a'n's
to bea christian paper, pious paper-'ne
organ OF the Great Baptist Denomination ~
North Carolina-called the Biblical itecorder.
Why it is called "6i5licar' we are at q loss 70
understand. The Bible says, "Lic not
Thou shalt not bear false witness" Inc
Bible commands people to assemble them-
selves together for the worship of God. The
great personages OF the Bible, such as Christ
and Paul, rejoiced that the Gospel was
preached, even ifthc preachers did not num-
Der themselves among the immediate follow
crs of the Saviour and the Apostle. But
this Recorder" seems to have taken alto
gether different tack; it gives currency to
untruths and ISLANDERS; it fidicules Christian
preaching and Christian worship. In the
number of Dec. Esd there is an editorial
headed "The Loyal Church." which is cx-
actly in the spirit and after the style Of
Tom Paine, Abner Keenland and Fanny
Wright. Surely that cannot I've a Biblical
paper that ridicules an honest attempt to
profit by, and Disseminate, the truths of the
Bible Surely that cannot he Christin
paper that attelnps to bring into contempt
the disciples of Christ and the worship Of
Christ! Yet this article headed "The Loyal
Church" INDUCES in such ridicule and vents
such contempt. What! Has the Baptist
organ of North Carolina allied itself with
Infdels to destroy Christi An earnest, e,li-
flying Christian sermon is preached and the
Biblical man SCOTS. Verify, Scribes and
Pharisees are not extinct By-the-way. the
caption of the article is intended to slur and
ridicule Christian loyalty. We hope this
mans brethren at the North will remember
this treatment of Christian loyalty by those
Southern Baptists who are begging money
for various religious purposes. We hope
this Biblical loyalty will he scrutinized by
their benefactors.
again, an untruth is uttered when it is
said by this Biblical Recorder that "some
months since, some of our officials organized
III this city, church extremely liberal as to
creeds, on the basis of loyalty and equality"
No such church has been organized. We
wish there had. But this Recorder desires
to have it believed that such a church has
been organized and that it is failure.
| Therein lies the untruth.
Evidently there is need of some church
in this section. that is based on loyalty and
christian equality.
We have hitherto supposed that truly
Biblical, christian papers re;oiced in and
encouraged Christian worship, or attempts
to enjoy such worship, by any persons what.
soever, but We acknowledge that we were
mistaken Here is Biblical Recorder that
ridcules such efforts. Lyidelity is tri
umphant.

Coop AGRICULTURAL READING.-Thou-
sands CT our farmers have never thought of
subscribing to an agricultural journal. Ev-
cry farmer should take at least one; and if
he fakes but one he ought to give his home
paper the preference. Among the best that
we receive is the Carolina Farmer, publish
ed monthly, at Wilmington. N. c., by VIM.
H. Bernard, at So per year in advance.
The Farmer is not only handsome work,
but is filled with an unusual number of ar
ticles devoted to the interests of the planter
and farmer. Send So for years subscrip
ton, or 10 cents for a specimen copy. The
article on pea nuts in the, January number
is worth more than years subscription

The Orange Presentment.

Some line since there appeared In the
Sentinel of this city what purported to be a
presentment by the Grand Jury of Orange
County at the Fall Term of the Superior
Court of that county. This so called pre-
sentiment was heralded forth in true sensa-
ton style under the heading of Beauties of
Reconstruction" and was cnpied with avid
ity by the Democratic press Of the State.
This pretended presentment was covert
but malignant attack upon the State govern
ment of North Carolina, and it was publish
ed to the world that the Grand Jury of
Orange had presented the Governor of the
State as a liar, the Chief Justice Of the Su-
prone Court as liar, traitor and a-hypo-
critic, the Judges of the Superior Courts
of the State as being disgrace to the judi
ciary of the State, and the Lieutenant Gov
ernor and lightweight members ofthe present
General Assembly as guilty of melting to
"rape, rapine, plumber, murder and arson"
In the course of time the attention of His
Honor Judge Tourgee, was called to this in
famous and libellous production, and he i'm
mediately directed Mr.. Geo. Laws, Clerk of
Orange Superior Court to certify to him
copy of all presentments made at Fall Term
of Orange Court. Mr.. Laws complied, and
Judge Tourgee states in another column of
to-day's STANDARD, over his own official sig
nature, that no such presentment scas made to
the Court, nor to the Judge!
Judge Tourgee justly regards the making
of such presentment to any but the Judge
in open Court, as publication of false
and spurious records of the Court" "a mock
cry of justice and prostitution of the forms
of law" and pronounces the SO called pre-
sentiment a forgery.
We have not room to refer further to this
subject to-day but may recur to it again and
characterize it as it deserves

Eureka Z

We understand that the Trustees of the
University of North Carolina are seeking for
incumbents forthe various Chairs of that In
stitution. 1t is supposed that Professor
of Logic is needed. We desire to direct at
tention to the author of an article in the
Biblical Recorder entitled 1862 It is
certain that this writer has had no superior
since the days of the celebrated Logician
who proved that horse chestnut is chest
nut horse. Aristotle, Bacon and Whately
are not to be mentioned in the same day
with this writer Of 1865"
We are not sure but that the elegant style
of this writer renders him eligible to the
professorship of Rhetoric and Bellies Lettrcs.
Beautiful literature splendid poetry! ad-
mirable consistency But we must not de-
tain our readers from enjoying the elegant
extracts which have riveted our delighted
attention:
Is6S-Men, women and children Of the pres
ent generation have never before seen year in
which there was SO much to saddcn, and SO little
to cheer their hearts. In the political sky, dark
clouds have OvershadOwed the horizon OF hope.
In our churches, many burning and shining
lights have dropped down to smoking fax"
Our unblest baskets and stores have brought dis
tress to our iiresides. Want has intrnded upon
our families, and gloom has brooded over our
homes.
Here follows a paragraph on the success
and prospects of the Recorder, and then sue
ceeds this: @
A kind Providence has given US bountiful
crops, the condition and prospects of our coun-
try ere improving. Refreshing seasons have
strengthened the faith of many christians and
thy are becoming more anxious to talk often
with each other, to weep with those who weep,
and rejoice will those who rejoice. Those who
are born of God are becoming more unwilling TO
exile themselves from those they love, and those
who love them, and are uniting more heartily
in the great work of preaching the gospel TO ev-
cry creature. hs9s
