"SuNDAY This was the
title of an editorial in last weeks Home
journal. and in another place ofour paper
will be found aresponse, written by Am
icus," a most worthy gentleman of VIM
chester, whose ability no man can ques-
ton that knows him, and yet whose mod
esty prevents the appreciation he deserves
We cheerfully publish his remarks alDeit
- they reflect somewhat upon us personally,
and, We think, unnecessarily, for surely II
was not necessary for hint to allude to any
action of ours, in respect to church mem
bership, in order to help him in anything
he might choose to write. We have a
higher opinion of his capacity than to
suppose he could deem it necessary to al
Iude to any action of oursclf Individually
in regard to any branch of the christian
church. 1t is II sort of al hOminea argu-
ment, totally out of place. What we write
for the Home Journal is written as editor ;
and what we do is done as an individual.
Nevertheless we can always strike a bal
ance sheet between the editor and the in
dividual upon all important questions,
hence we shall urge no objections to his
FLANK movement" Especially will we
not do so when we reflect that our article
last week was not intended to fit any par
ticular party or church, but was written
as a condemnation of that bigotry which
would condemn mere tritles while over
looking ''the weightier matters of law
And naught have we to recant. Aye,
more: we defy any one, whom the cap
does not fiji, to prove from our article that
we were disposed to ''damn the church
with faint praise" That is not our style,
and we must contend that Anxious miSun-
derstood us. That was not the an linus OF
our article, as we could prove to the salts
faction of any honest jury, and hence he
unduly manifcsts a spirit of wicked retail
iation when he tells us, in his 'ler tdlioniS'
c~atechism. that we profess religion be-
cause it il popular. In his cooler mo-
ments we believe his pen would have
written softer words. We attacked in a
general sense, and he attacked in an indi-
vidual sense, and just to cut the whole
matter short We say He misunderstood
us.
As to drifting on the sands of free
h~iuking-yes! In its literal sense we do
strive to be a tree thinker. He who be
lieves without having any reason for be-
lieving must be in love with his own fan
cies, and neither seeks truth as he ought,
nor pays due obedience to his Maker, who
would have him use those discerning fac
ultics He has given him to keep him out
of mistake and error. Honest Skepti-
cism is better than blind belief

Strange that persons should write US to
send them a copy of our paper with the
bill for 6 or IL months, and they will re-
nit the same. They must know that for
about one dollar they can get a weekly pa
per for months, and for 81 got it twelve
months. Yet, we receive such letters very
frequently. Why not send one. two, or
three dollars and request the paper to be
sent accordingly? This would seem like
business and wear a better ~cOuntenance.

PERsoNAL.-Our friend, Mr., James F..
Gipson, who has been living in VAUDEVILLE.
Texas, for about sixteen months, is in
Winchester, receiving the welcome of
friends and relatives. He gives Il glow
ing description of the prosperity of the
great Lone Star" State. Lands have ud-
vanced rapidly in value under the gen
crous system of internal improvements.
Railroads are building in all directions,
and money is plentiful.
Mr.. Thos. Il. Lenehan, of Red River
Landing, La, whose marriage to Miss L.
A. FeatherstOn, of this county. was no
ticed in our last issue, favored us with a
call the other day. Mr.. Lenehan is a ma
tive of this county, but finds it pecuniari-
" beneficial TO live in Louisiana. No
wonder that success follows his efforts. He
possesses, in common with Il large family
of brothers, all those traits of industry
and perseverance, which make the success
that less industrious persons would call
good luck" in order to appcasc theirow
self-cOnvi ting conscicnccs. Happiness
to you and your bride forever, Mr.. Lenc-
han!

1t is to be hoped that the mercury IN our
thermometers has gone up as high as IL
will 90 during this year, and that the at
mosphere will put an end to complaints OF
perspiring editors. Surely it has been Il
hot summler-and it may be that Planta-
mOur's comet was not such Il hoax after all,
even if it did fail to strike the earth and
cause a smash-up, as was predicted. Since
astronomers cannot lay down the exact
orbits ofsuch cratic visitors, perhaps our
danger is not yet over, and 1873 may VIII
ness a collision that may bring about the
Ionr-talked-ot "wreck of matter and
crush of worlds Be this as it may. ten
to one if such nonsense should be predict
ed for next year, scores of people would
believe it and be baptiscd if necessary, for
the human mind is given to all sorts of
superstition, and worse Supcrstitions have
been embraced than this delusion about
a comet coming in contact with the earth .
We can but think there is a quantum OF
good sense, if not philosophy, in the reply
of an old and rather illiterate woman who,
on being questioned as to her fear about
the comet, went straight to the Bible for
some texts appropriate to the occasion.
Her verdict was that, If de LOr' was a
gwine to destroy all things, he wouldn't
put it in the newspapers first
Any way, with the agreeable change in
the weather, the production Of bountiful
crops, and the close proximity of the day
when the school girls will return to our
town and grace our streets with evening
promenades, we have no wish to grumbie
over the Summer-saults of the mercury or
undue familiarity ofcomets.

CORRECTION In last weeks Home
journal was a short announcement that
an entertainment, consisting of minstrel
" and legerdemain, would be given at
the Sewance College building, for the ben
eft otthe Episcopal Church. We thought
at the outset there was hardly a stiffness
of things" in the matter, but our intor-
nation was from responsible parties, who
came to us saying that the building had
been secured and we readily contributed
our part for the benefit proposed. 1t turned
out. however. t"at no authority had been
obtained from the Clergy and Vestry of
the Parish, as stated in written posted
notices from II. ii. Sneed, Rector, and
T. A. Robertson, minister in charge. And
so, there was no entertainment given at
the proposed place.

ANTI-GREELRY.
The city is flooded also with the hsndbills of
the Bourbon democrats, and the Greeleyites
charge that the republicans have a hand In
issuing them. There are circulars afoat in be-
half Of the nomination OF Sumner and Groes-
beck, and this morning a letter has been issued,
written by Isaac Myers, the colored speaker, in
to the letter Of the coIcred Grant eiector' Saun-
ders, captured by the democrats YESTERDAY. The
cause of Saunders detection is said TO be his
dismissal as special agent by Secretary Cres-
well.
FoUR-FIFTHs FOR GREELEY.
The convention hall was crowded to-day in
all but the upper tier, which for some reason
was only about two-thirds full. The applause
when Greeley's name was mentioned in Bel
monts speech seemed TO be started by prear-
rangement, but was SO general and well sus-
tanned to indicate that four-fifths of the
convention are for Greeley.
THE ANTI-GRBRLEY CONVENTION
at Maryland Institute to-day was larger than
yesterday, but there were only about 100 present.
The speeches, however. were red hot against
Greeley, especially Brick Pomeroys, who
claimed to represent 200 900 Democratic
readers, who repudiate Greeley. He spoke of
the democratic convention as recreant breth-
rem, who were going to nominate the head devil
Greeley never could be elected was received
with great applause, and the little gathering Al
the institute are evidently in dead earnest in
opposition to Greeley. There is some disposition
at the democratic convention TO nominate this
afternoon, and close up the business to-day; but
it is not likely that it will get through before
to- morrow.
