Religious Club Houses p"

MIR. EDITOR In your paper OF the 45th
instant there appears an article copied
from the Philadelphia ''Presbyterian,"
in which it is alleged that Bishop Atkin
son. Gin sermons lately delivered. has
called Presbyterian Churches Club
Houses"
Bishop Atkinson's attention kaving
been, accidentally directed to the article
referred 10, he requests me to cay that the
language therein imputed to him was
never used by him either in public or in
private.
1t is not consistent with his views of pro-
priety to speak conterl ptously of any reli-
unwilling to be supposed to have Gone SO
in this instance, as he has many ki4d
friends and near relatives. members Of the
Presbyterian communion, regard for
whom, if not deferred by other considera-
tons. would prevent him from speaking
so disrespectfully Of their houses OF
worship.
Though usually reluctant to reply to
charges Of this sort in the public prints,
he has requested me to make this denia
of the statement alluded to, lest his failure
| to do so might be misunderstood.
You will oblige by reqUesting the ''Phila
delphia Presbyterian" and the "Christiar
Observer to contradict this: tatement
which seems to have been originally made
or published by them, upon what the,
must now admit to have been insufficient
authority.

smoke with hickory wood three or four
weeks; then bag, or pack away in cool

must bankrupt the State.
We have frequently shown the utter
impossibility of the taxpayers OF North
Carolina to meet the expenses OF our
present system of government, anddemon-
strated that the only speedy, practical
and economical remedy was through a
Convention. Some may fail to recognize
the absolute necessity for changes IN the
fundamental law, but when the revenue
bill ia reported, and when they consider,
in connection with it, the county and
Rovnship taxes, and the numberless and
heavy expenses attending the collection OF
money, court costs, justices fees and
Others, the substantial people of the State
without regard to politics-if they place
khe good of North Carolina and their own
prosperity above party-will demand relief
through n Convention. It is lust utterly
impossible to continue the present expen-
sive system Of government. 1t is unsulted
20 our wants and far beyond the reach OF
our means. Devised my men who neither
cared for the wishes or welfare OF our
people, nor knew how to provide for them
had they desired to do so, its extraVagan-
oes and corruptions have we'll nigh con-
sumed the little remnant of property which
our people saved from the common wreck.

they had created expressly for them

curtail their salaries, to reduce expenses
is met at the very threshold by constitu
