wanted reciprocity. The resolution was

Mr.. McCrary, chairman OF the commit.

too much like the Sanborn contracts, and
contended that engineering problems

TIE report Of the Committee on Fra
ternal Relations Of the Methodist Church
South, with reference to fraternity and
union with the Methodist Church North,
which was adopted by very large ma
jority, is a positive and outspoken docu-
ment. While they express a willingness
to fraternize, they are honest enough to
let their Northern brethren understand
that they have no idea OF uniting with
them. The great obstacle to union Is the
negro, and the negro free Is just as great
an obstacle as he was when a slave. In
condition Of servitude, there was no
hope for union, because the Southern
Methodist would not Tree him. Now that
he Is free, the Northern Methodists have
inaugurated mixed conferences, congre-
cations, and schools, to which the South
ern Methodists will never consent. A
union once formed there would be the
danger that the majority would thrust the
mixed plan upon them. Thus the IN.
fortunate negro, In whatever position he
finds himself, Is the same old bone Of
contention,

the meantime the two counties have the
first say in the matter. They have the
whole project still under their own con.
troll. II they do not wish to lose the
money already invested in the road, and
think they can redeem 1t by putting in
an additional investment, and thus secure
not only the future control Of the road
but also whatever profit may accrue from
its ownership, all they have to do Is to
say 50 and act accordingly. II on the
contrary, they are unwilling to proceed
further with the work on their own ac-
count, but are willing toturn It over for

we shall hope 70 see the enterprise sue

Caivlnism-Gen. Harris.
Editors Of the Intelllgencer:

Editors Of the Intelligeneer:
Your review Of Gen. Harris, tract on
CalVinism recalled the 'little book" 10 my
mind. 1had read II carly In the war ant
found one thing In Il to which ] had In
tended calling the Generals attention, bu'
the busy scenes ot the war caused It to es
cape my memory. In his tract, he takes
the position that God could not foreknoW
all things unless he had decreed that
they should be 30. / do not remember oI
having ever seen this position taken BY
any one else, and hence l am led to con.
clude that his Oalvinism ia heterodoxical
Calvinism Is very clearly taught in the
Bible as Is also the doctrine ofIree agency,
The finite mind cannot reconcile these,
but with God all things are possible.
Gen. Harris would, Il appears, limit the
knowledge Of Deity-set bounds to the
infinite, when he says God could not fore
know that an event would transpire un.
less he had determined II should take
place. He makes Gods omniscience de-
pendent upon His omnipotence. "Fore-
knowledge" "ioreordInation" and all
such terms are merely used for their
adsptability to the human understanding.
With Deity there Is no past, no future
but an eternal present In which all the
transactions that have ever taken place,
or all the events that will transpire
throughout the incomprehensible cycles
OF eternity are passing In review before
the 0mnitlc Mind" When Christ said,
"before Abraham toaS I an" 1t evident.
ly showed this view Of the case, and
doubtless the events Of the nineteenth
century, were as much present with the
Deity as they are to-day when Hs said,
"Let there be light, and there was light"
As said, Oalvinism, or what Is known
as Calvinism, / believe Is taught in the
Bible, but free salvation Is offered to all
who will accept Of it-none are turned
away. Bunyan said "lret not thysell
about election, which Is q secret thing Of
God" Mans duty Is plainly taught in
the Bible, and his chief concern should
be to do that duty-obey the commands
Of God as taught in the Bible, and not
fret himself about election; and I would
advise Gen. Harris as q friend, and one
whom believe TO be Christian, instead
Of writing two or three tracts on Calvin.

MedievalIsm Among Our PennSyl.
Ranin NeIEhb0Es.

We are really getting alarmed for the
good name Of our Washington county
neighbors. We do not refer to. the array
ot criminal cases recently before their
court, but TO q communication In
yesterdays Reporter advocating the
enactment Of IN ordinance in the
borough Of Warrington providing for the
ringing Of the Court House bell at q GER
tain hour every evening, after which
hour every person found on the streets,
except phySicians, shall be subject to ar
resi-, and II arrested twice shall be subject
to imprisonment. This law 1t seems has
become necessary in Washington on &C.
count Of the "llcentiousness, rowdyism
and profanity which abOunds in the hours
Of night" and Is the sort Of q law that in
the time Of William the Conqueror was
known aa the "Curiew," q law that pro-
vided for covering the fires, extingulsh-
ing the lights and retiring to bed in every
house throughout England at the sound
Of bell that was rung early in the even.
ing. The writer in the Reporter suggests
that their bsll bo ruug at ten
P. N. in summer and nine O'Clock
in winter and that 1t shall be q signal for
everybody to betake themselves to their
homes. This Is curious suggestion for
this day and age, and smscks Of medieval
timea. But Washington county always
was curious country, They used to
arrest travellers for invading the solemn
and sacred stiffness OF their Sabbath by
presuming to pass through their territory
on that day, and also INDUCED In other
Connecticut-blue-law regulations. The
present suggestion is not by any means .
new thing, for It seams that they had
such . law in Washington within the last
twenty-five years, and the writer in the
Reporter ssys that II did more to promote
morality and better the condition Of the
people than all the sermons that could be
preached, This may be true. No doubt
in King W1IL1AM's time the "C1rlew"
was esteemed very salutary regulation.
Why not revive it throughout the whole
country by an act Of Congress; incorpor.
ate IT, ior instance as provision in the
Civil Rights billH II such a provision is
good thing IN Washington, why not in
Wheeling, Pittsburgh, and all the other
citiesH Sinchit promotes morality and
betters the condition Of the people, it
ought to become universal custom. We
fear, however, that the agitation has
commenced too late ia the history Of the
world. People have an idea Of personal
liberty these days somewhat different
from the old notions. Its not in keep
Ing with their idea Of liberty to restrain
one part Of the community in order to do
good to the other part The good citi.
zenShip Of q town or city is not to be
punished for the benefit Of the "daDger.
Gus class" The policy is to punish only
those who offend and to leave everybody
free to come and go with the utmost
freedom. Having become accustomed to
this sort of liberty, the people are not
likely to relinquish it. However, our
Washington neighbors can make the ex.
pertinent and report progress.

The Dilemma Of the Pittsburgh,

Wheeling q Kentucky Railroad.
As has been already stated in these col
umns, there are two ways Of completing
this road. One is for the two counties to
vote the necessary money-ssy 100000
and finish It themselves, and thus own,
control and enjoy the enterprise as best
they can, and tho other Is to sell It out, or
give it away, in its present shape to some
capitalists who will put 1t through. The
necessity Of doing something was officially
brought tothe attention Of the Commits
sionets oithis county on last Monday by
Mr.. HuBBARD, President fthe road, and
he will lay the case before the Brooke
County Commissioners next Monday, and
then leave the two Boards to decide
whether or not they win submit the ques.
tion TO their respective constituencies for
verdict, We understand that Mr.. HUB.
BARD has recently. had an interview with
the Hon. HuoH ]. JEwErT, superintend-
ent ofthe Panhandle road, in which the
latter gave him satisfactory assurances
that his company would make an equable
running arrangement with the road, lust
the samoa il the original programme had
been carried out; that lie, pro.rate re-
ceipts and Interchange rolling stock
on terms Of equality. An Wheeling
freight will be sent 10 Wheeling over this
road. Such an arrangement Mr.. JEwRTT
thought, would give the,road business
enough to insure interest on the bonds,
