AS a non-partisan independent family news
paper, the future editorial conduct of the EN-
QUIRER can be as well judged by the past, as by
any promise which we might now feel disposed
to make. An experience of thirty four years in
the newspaper business, seventeen of which have
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER, fully convinces the proprie..
tor that the plan he adopted on assuming control
of the paper is the correct mode of journalism in
the present day. The true mission of a newspa-
per is to place before the public facts as they exist,
unbiased by partisan feeling or sinister motives,
and the proprety of this course is fully attested,
not only by the success of the ENQUIRER,
which can truthfully claim the largest circulation
of any country paper in the South, but also by
many other of the most popular and wldely-circu-
lated papers Of the day. The course thus indca-
ted we shall continue to pursue, aiming to pub
lsh LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPA-

KING COTTON.

1t has become proverb that "cotton rules
the price of every other commodity" At
present we have clear demonstration that
such is not the case. The opinion is we'll
founded that the cotton crop of the present
year is not more than two.third crop. The
price is low, and the prices of all the necessa-
ries of life are high. Corn is worth one dol
lar per bushel, notwithstanding the fact that
there is abundance of corn in the country,
and drovers are asking ten cents per pound,
gross, for their pork. Mules and horses are
cheap, but by April they will command the
usual price. Now, the reason that corn is so
dear is simply this: The man who raises corn
to sell is able to hold it until he gets his price
for it, and the man that has corn to buy must
have it or perish. The present price of corn
shows that there is no danger, as some of our
farmers seem to think, of glutting the market
with corn. 1t might be safely predicted that
the time will never come when corn will not
be ready sale at one dollar per bushel in the
month of April. Cotton is king that en-
tails poverty upon his subjects.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
FOUNDED BY HORACE GREELEY.

honAS1
I'm the recent elections the people have declared
I in favor Of honesty in politics and indepen-
dence in journalism. The TRIBUNE, which
wears ago declared that it was not and never more
would be party organ, claims the verdict, as the
popular vndicatOn of its course, and recognizes
in the result the voice of the people for reform and
integrity in government, for candora and lndepen-
dence among newspapers. During the campaign
which has Just closed the TRIBUNE has fully
maintained it's right to the title of the Leading
earned and retains for the following among other
reasons:
It publishes all the news, earlier, more fully,
and more intelligently than any other paper.
1t insists on peace throughout the whole coun-
try, the right of local self-government, and the
protection of all classes in the exercise Of their
just and legal rights.
1t advocates Confidence and good feeling be-
tween Northand South, and labors for an honest
and abiding reconciliation.
It maintains fairness and candOr toward all pub
lie men and questions, and dignity and courtesy
toward associates and rivals.
1t publishes sccntifcnews, reports, discussions
and discoveries to degree of fullness and accu-
racy never before attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or more columns OF the
most carefully prepared agricultural matter du-
ring the year, much more in the aggregate than
the entire contents Of any other agricultural pub
lcatiOn, and the whole forming a department. OF
which an eminent agricultural editor says: lit
has done more to make good farmers than any
other influence which ever existed"
It has published a series of scientific and itera-
ry extras, which have met wider sale and more
emphatic popular approval than any similar pub
lcation of the kind.

DEISM.


The only article in the creed Of the deist
is, "There is God" That god is not the
God of the Bible, but creature of his own
making. By the deist, the Bible is rejected
as revelation from God, and the precepts
which it enjoins are never put into practice
Amongst certain class of individuals there
is a mania on this subject. Men of very little
learning, but a vast amount of impudence, are
constantly publishing to the world that they
discovered scientific errors in the Bible They
never, for moment, suppose that it is posi-
Bile for them to be mistaken in either their
premises or conclusions. Young men, with
mere smattering of learning, follow these
propagators of absurd notions and dangerous
teachings.
1t seems rarely to occur to those scientific
men, falsely so called, that deism, in all its
varied aspects, is most ruinous thing to man,
morally and socially. Dests are universal
ly immoral men. They are strangers to piety.
Without exception, they are all addicted to
immoralties of the grossest and most beastly
character. They are profane swearers, al
most as whole they are, as rule, debauch-
ers and vilely intenperate. Their conduct
is malignant, envious, vain, often deceitful
and dishonest, cowardly and mean. The
moral example of the deist is diabolcal. 10
follow it is to feed a canker which will cor
rupt and destroy everything good in human
nature. Socially, deism is terrible thing
No darker picture can be presented to the
mind than land whose entire population are
deists. The pillars Of the social fabric tall,
and with them the whole superstructure The
relations of husband and wife, parents and
children, brother and sister, have no exist
ence. The church and school house are de-
serted. No ships of commerce are seen in the
ports, no fields are yellow with the harvest
Law and justice are neglected, and as amongst
the wild beasts, might makes right Well
for the human family there is no land in
which all are deists. Deism, in its practical
workings, is desolating. Morally, it is faint
picture of hell. Is it not madness for men to
attempt to establish deism? Their success
would be their ruin.

uRECEIYETH SINNERS.'

These words, as originally used by the
Pharisees and Scribes, we're the language OF
ridicule and contempt. They thought it be-
meath the dignity of one protesting to be
great teacher, to associate, in any capacity,
with sinners. No doubt they thought that
all who did not belong to their order were
sinners, but they, themselves, were righteous.
People still make as great mistakes as did the
poor, deluded Pharisees and Scribes. There
are communities of people, calling themselves
Christians, who treat the poor with contempt,
and make no effort to convert them from their
sins. They conduct themselves toward large
portion of the members of society as if Christ
did not come into the world to save sinners.
Despite the contempt of the Pharisees and
Scribes, it is a glorious truth that Christ "Re-
ceiveth sinners, and eateth with them" For
this he came into the world. That he might
receive poor, heart-broken sinners, he was
born poor, helpless babe, Of poor mother.
The son of God became the son of man, that
He might receive sinners. He emptied HIM
self of the glory which he had with hls
father before the world was created, and be-
came the despised Nazarene-a man of sorrow
and acquainted with grief-that He might re-
ceive sinners. He still receives sinners. He
receives them that their sins may be pardoned,
their natures renewed, and that they may, in
due time, be prepared for Heaven. He re-
ceives sinners that their sins and faults of
youth may be forgiven. What a glorious
thought it is that the poor sinner has such
Saviour. Does the recollection Of his former
sins press upon him weight too heavy to be
borne, Jesus is waiting to receive him. Does
his sins fill his soul with confusion and render
him an object of suspicion to his fellow-men,
Jesus is ready to receive him. Are his sins
as red as scarlet, Jesus is waiting to make
them white as snow.
The subject of lamentation is, that so few
sinners are ready and willing to 60 to Jesus
with their SINS Jesus is the friend, the true
and tried friend, of sinners. So intense was
his love for them that he died for them. he
poured out his soul unto death, that whosoever
cometh unto him shall never perish, but have
everlasting life Proud ministers of the gos-
pei and proud members of the church may
despise sinners, but Jesus loves them. tie
hates sin, but loves thesinner. Jesus receives
sinners into his favor and friendship whilst
they live on earth, and when they die, He
will receive them into Heaven, there to live
and reign with Him forever.
