their stancard watches, until now they Include
every size In both key and stem-winding, that can

same time new Inventions In machinery, and other
large economies have cheaDened the cost so that

than Watches are the hest and cheapest watches In
the world. These claims are, in fact, almost every

the keys of the NJ. f. church, or that he
spoke the sentiment of the church. The
writer also refers to our worthy Bishop Haven.
lie says that "the Doctor is acting thus in
the immediate bounds of the Bishops South
ern home" 1t is to be seen that this ex-
preston is surrounded by some ambiguity.
What does the writer mean? Certainly he
cannot mean to say the Doctor has the
Bishops sanction or sympathy? For who
does not know how Numerically adverse
are the principles and practices of Bishop
Haven, who is known to believe in the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of
man. And l may ask, who does not know
the fact that it is by the practice ofthese long
cherished ideas by the Bishop, everywhere,
that served to stir up the wrath, not only of
the Methodist Adeocate, but the entire South
ern press, both secular and religious?
Mr. Editor, the true state of the case is,
so far as Bishop Haven is concerned, he is
to-day both in faith and practice, far in adj
vance of the civil rights bill :" and now, if
this be true, Gas. think no intelligent man
can Doubt then add one other fact, viz, that
Bishop Haven's principles were we'll known
at the time of his election by the General
and also when he was assigned
to the Southern District, ask is it not logi-
cal to conclude that he Bishop Haven) is
the representative of the NJ. f. church in the
South, and not DR.. Fuller? Is it sound or
logical to conclude that the M. f. church is
aiming to appease the wrath Of the South?
Judge We.
Yours, respectfully,

Moral Reflections No, IS,

There is river, the streams whereof shall
make glad the city of God, the Holy place
Of the Tabernacle of the Most High. God
is in the midst of her; she shall not be
moved: God shall help her, and that right
early."-Ps. 4G; 4, 5.
The church has been often in great trouble
and peril, yet God has never forsaken her !;
lie has been her refuge and strength, and in
His own way and time, has delivered her.
God, in relation to the Church, is beauti-
fully represented as river whose pure
streams are ever flowing through this city
this Holy place of the Tabernacle of the
Most High; rejoicing the hearts of His peo-
pie in the bestowal Of the abundant gifts and
graces Of His spirit.
So with the individual Christian. In the
midst Of the severest trials, where the bill
lows of temptation and sorrow beat upon
him, he may yet stand unmoved with God
for his refuge and strength: yea, he may re-
joice under those divine supports and con-
solutions which will be vouchsafed to all who
put their trust in Him. 4. A.

Every man knows that it was no time for
amusement or au unmeaning display Of ar
gumentative skill. He was not opposed to
mixed schools, but only wanted to force
the colored people to take some stand with
reference to'' the question! He who believes
this, without also believing that "the great

vain babbler, has the credulity of child.
1t is only making a bad matter worse to

ton is against him. He was born in free
country where equality has never, in his life

should not have consented to anything in
this country but perfect equality. He is a
minister Of Christ's gospel, and for that rea-
son he should fear God more than man, )"
and never stoop to mean and disgraceful
compromises. He is a negro, and for that
reason he should be loyal to the instincts of
his race. But the matter cannot be explained.

PARKFRsBURG, July 10, 1874.
To The Editor ofMe Neo National Era:
the I'd instant 1 find an article under the
above heading, in reference to which think
it pertinent to subjoin few remarks, not
only to myself, but am safe in saying for
many others, who, although members of the
NJ. +. church, and readers of your inestima-
BILE paper, we endorse and heartily concur
with the writer of the article referred to in
reference to the view he takes of the Doctor
and his course. AS to the Methodist Adro-
cate, Of Atlanta, Georgia, though it has the
reputation of being Methodist paper, l
never read it, nor have l but once seen the
would-be distinguished Doctor who CHANGED
to visit the conference of which 1 am an hum
BILE member at which time there and then
formed an opinion but little better than that
expressed by Hon. John Quincy Adams,
when characterizing a distinguished South
erner with whom he was debating that fore
most question-slavery. He said, "that in
taking physiological view by microscope,
he thought he could see a million slaves in
each drop of blood as it coursed through the
gentleman's VEINS" But, sir, while we
agree with the writer in the Christian Recorder
in his opinion Of the Doctor, we widely differ
with him in opinion as to the M. +. church
on the subject Of civil rights. In regard to
which he makes the sweeping declaration o.
his opinion that "this (the M. Ed church
will finely succeed in appeasing the wrath o
the South" as though the Rev. Doctor hat

To the Editor orMe Memo National Era:
AS "affairs in Mississippi are somewhat
stirred" according to the dictum of "Civis,"
in your issue of July ., allow me to throw in
a few pot-herbs for seasoning the broth that
"Civis" seems SO delightedly expectant to
sniff, and smack his lips over. "Too many
cooks spoil the BROTH" is a maxim especially
applicable at this moment to Mississippi and
the nation, and when such writer's as 'Civis"
say, Better that the whole State (meaning
Tennessee should be reduced to ashes than
that the rights of five million Americans
should be denied them," what does that
mean: Red-handed war! for Civil Rights
that have been virtually gained! "Reduced
to ashes?" Were the spirits of the Revo-
lutionary Fathers who inspired and penned
" The free and Independent States of America!"
with the Scotchman, Bell, who dared to
print it, to stand before me and indorse such
q sentiment as that! l would say blockheads !;
We are fools, or madmen! "Civis," who
are you? Are you Jack, the Giant-kller,"
or I. w. CardOza the State Superintendent
of Public Education, or does the last-named

sonages? If SO, is il constitutional to adopt

Arthur Rochester.
sketch of the Life OF X en- nrkable CUIored
Man.

Man.
Among the visitors to this town last weel,
was the venerable cOlOred man above named,
Arthur Rochester. Arthur is one of the most
prominent citizens of our neighborng county
Queen Anne's-a prominence he has justly
won by his luck as prOgenitOr, his success
as a farmer, and his integrity as business
man. lie is, or has been, the father of thirty
six children, twenty-five of whom are still
living. or the thirty-six born to him in forty
years, five swarmed in upon him within one
year. On the 18th of March of one year
triplets came to bless him and on the 8th Of
the March following twins stocked his prog
eny. Twenty years in wedlock gave to him
twenty-three children, when his first wife
was called to her reward. He soon took
another helpmate, however, who, in twenty
years more, has increased his offspring by
thirteen, the youngest child being about
eighteen months old. The father is in his
seventy-third year, and hale old man.
The old atlage, "a fool for luck and a poor
man for Children" does not pertain in Ar
thurs case. lie is neither foolish nor poor.
He is the pOssessor of seven hundred acres
of land, included in four farms, all in fair
tillage, and three of them in tenure of three
of his sons. lie has, he says, never failed
to meet his 'paper,' at maturity, and never
failed to pay his debts on the very day he
promised. lie has the use OF the names OF
prominent citizens at all times to his service.
and the late Major Merck was his endorser
and lifelong patron, notwithstanding the
Majors well defined antipathy to the negro
as a race. And Arthur, while he fully COM
prehends his Indebtedness to the Republicans
for his rights of citizenship, finds himself in
debted to two or three Democrats for nearly
everything else he enjoys. Hence he some
times feels called upon to exercise his right
towards individual members of the party that
are opposed to his race enjoying the right
he exercises. Indeed, many Democrats in
Queen Anne's would not hesitate to accept
Arthur's vote and political influence, and
some of them even assert that he would join
them if the party had done more to merit his
friendship.
Arthur, though uueducateJ, has good hard
common sense, and is thoroughly practical
i'm his business arrangements. He has made
farming a success by being able to supply
his own labor from his own household in
fact, he has been compelled to add to his
possessions to find room and employment for
his many children. He has pursued a calling
in which children were his best investment.

THE STREET RAILROAD. We wonder that
some enterprising person does not take hold OF
the street railroad and carry it out to Padgctt's
toll gate. 1t is evident that the line is too
short as it is, aud if the company would sell
out the road and its franchise for about the
present value of the iron and cars, We should
think it would induce some one to take il 10
hand; aud then if the citizens would guarantee
three thousand dollars worth of tickets there
could be but little risk, as the material, &C.,
would sell for as much year hence as it would
bring now. Why not get up a new company
to buy out the old one? see that meeting
