The Tarboro' southerner., 1870-10-27

Of this Church, in New York, having for
its Pastor, DR.. Deems, of This State.
For the past few years it has been grad
ually increasing in popularity, attracting
at each service ;ln immense congregations,
both residents and strangers.
A short time since this Church was pre-
sented by Commodore Vanderbilt with the
old Mercer Street Presbyterian Church,
which has been entirely changed and rem
ovated, and is at this time one of the most
spacious and handsome cdifces in the CITY
of New York.
A few Sundays since the Church was
re-opened under the direction of its Pas
tor, DR.. Deems, to one of the largest con-
gregatiGns ever assembled in that city.
The opening sermon was preached by
DR.. K. S. Moran, Presiding Elder of this
Conference, from the text, Ephesians i:
10, "That in the dispensation of the full
ness Of times, he might gather together in
one all things in Christ, both which are
in heaven and which are i'll earth even in
Him." He showed that the Christian dis
pensation came only when mems minds
were ready to appreciate the great truths
of Christ's religion. That this religion
has passed successfully through persecu-
tions and temptations, and had emerged
triumphant, ,-simple in its greatness and
great in its simplicity. At its altar, all
can meet in a union of hearts and hands.
The love of Christians for one great Head,
unites them all in the bonds of Christian
fellowship.
The sermon was said to lie of extraordi-
nary power, and wonderfully impressive.
The Church of the Strangers now en-
l~,a oh yuI,o
were formerly members Of the Episcopal,
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congre-
gational, Lutheran, Reformed Dutch, and
other Churches. 1t is the first undenom-
national Church yet established in Amer
lea. Its only resources for support are
the Sunday collections, the contributions
of liberal Christians of all churches, and
the subscriptions of members of the
Church and of the congregation. The on
ly aim of the Church is to demonstrate
the practicabilitv of Christian unity, to
keep up a free Christian Church in New
York city aud to furnish Sunday home
| for strangers whom pleasure or business
may bring to the metropolis.
THE SuERIFFALTY IN PlTT.-1t may not
be generally known that this county has
two Sherifs-Hcllen and Folly. Both
! claiming to be the lawful Sheriff.
/ We had hoped that since the political
revolution in the county, that the good
| people. of Pitt would no longer be annoyed
by carpet eaggers and that their affairs
would be managed according to law and
Justice, but it seems their troubles are net
! yet over with.
Soon after the election, Folly, the old
Sheriff, gave HELEN the Sheriff elect, a
certificate of lis election and notified him
to appear at the Court House in Green
vile and qualify as Sheriff on the 1st
Monday in September.
He appeared, presented his bond to tn
Commissioners which was accepted. Folly
who had expressed his willingness to give
everybody, also presented L bond to the
old Commissioners whose term of Office ex
pired on that day. They referred it K
the new Commissioners who refused! tt
consider it. We will observe here, tha
his bondsmen, as is well known to the peo
pie OF the county, are wholly irresponsible
II. dsrcgards the order of the Commis
soners to give up the office, keys an,
effects &C., at first, but afterwards recog
ICED it, and asked as q personal favor t.
be allowed three days to settle with hi
deputies, arrange his books, &c. 1t turn
ed out, however, that he cnly wanted tim'
to enter proceedings against the CommiS
sionrrs aud employ Counsel. The who'll
matter was referred to Judge Jones VIII,
, has decided to hear the case argued a
November Court What the result viii
be We cannot tell, as We are not well vers
ed in Radical law, but no one not interi
on filing his pocket with i'll gotten gains
would, as Folly is doing, force himsel
upon a people who has repudiatcd him.
"CoNTEMPT' ONCE MoRE.-lt was to b
hoped that the sad experience Of Ju'l 2
!. Z. W. Jones, in his 'tcontempt' proceed
ings gainst the editor Of this paper woul
have been sufficient tolletcr other official
of the same stripe from trying the sam
game any more. But it appears that Roi
cson county has u Magistrate, in the pei
son of one Sinclair, of uuenviable notC
riety, who aspires to fellow the flight
the jay Bird, aEd attach for contempt
member of tie press. The editor of tn
kObesonidn has been arrested for contemr
BY this redoubtable Justice of the Peac
and, at --latest reports, was threatened wit
the jail.
The Robesonian deals with the matte
III the following manner:
S. 'If Esq. Sinclair supposes that we al
to be frightened from our prOpricty, an
deferred from giving to our readers 'ful
fair and accurate report Of his intamou
proceedings by any such miserable cla
trap, we can tell him lie is mistaken. y
shall characterize his official acts as the
deserve. We shall expose his paTt1Za
viiiainy, his corrupt assumptions of powe
his unscrupulous defiance CT legal +
| straintS, and malicious invasOns of Il
private rights and personal liberty of OF
citizens without reserve. {f :rue repo
Of his proceedings expose him to the co
tempt Of the people we can't help it. l.
the court refol N itself--let Esq. Sincla
cease to war upon the rights and liberti
of the peor+e--le't hffEn cease to arrest az
punish the innooeslt and encourage al
protect the guilty--in a word, let him sho
himself to be worthy of the position he O
cupies--dispensingj justice, instead ofmal
s. and rerenge, and he will find no occasi
to invoke for his protection the rule f
contempt"
