STATE STREET CHURCH
The pastor, Rev. E. Y Hincks rrooot,oa :,
the morning from Matt xviii,15. 16 and ~ M.
subject was the late council at BROOKLYN and ;ts
work. He thought the results of that counc;,
marked new era in Congregatonalism. IRE
churches of Revs Buddington and Storrs were
sustained in their position. Two important
principles were decided, namely, first Congre-
gational church member cannot withdraw
from the church as he can from club; but
that church membership makes firm bond
| which cannot be severed except bya method
similar to that described in the text. Second
the fellowship of Congregational churches was
affirmed. While each and every church is
clothed with the power of self government all
the churches of the land are bound together by
bond relationship and have certain powers
OF I" hich they cannot be deprived. He thought
the council and its decision gave Congregation
alism new lease of life,

A TAXPAYER.
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1874-12-01

Ma. EDITOR. The present ruinoua
rates OF State and city taxation must
eventually result in the building up OF
Augusta. at the expense OF COLUMBIA.
On account Of high State aud oity
taxes in Colu m1ia. goods are now sold
much cheaper in Augusta than Colum-
bia, and tue result is, that the people
who reside forty miles from the l,ne,
GO to Georgia to trade. aud those who
ere poor aud are compelled to do aII
their trudiug in Columbia. will remain
poor. The present City Council does
not seem to understand that if they
continue TO raise taxes, focuses. &c
that they will eventually drive all the
trade and business men from CoIum-
bia. It is earnestly hoped that the
Legislature and city government will
go to work und right up all theso
wrongs. If they do not. woe be unto
them. a COLORED MAN.

Thoso Gaping Wounds.

We saw, recently. two colored men
in Columbia going about with their
heads tied up, psrading themselves aa
victims OF Ku Klux violence in Ian
rens. on election day. A very sensa-
tional account of their sufferings and
hair-breadth escapes appeared in one
of our journals. The number of shots
which were fired at them, and some of
which took effect. (as they said.) we're
fabulous in the extreme. It was mar
velous, as confessed by the journal,
how many missed them. It turns ont
that tae Laurens physician. who at
tended them and dressed their wounds,
has frequently asserted that neither Of
them was shot at all; that the wounds
npon their heads-nnd they had no
Other-were inflicted with Il stick,
stone or something elso than bullet.
Or. Traynham is ready to certify this
as fact. and be qualified upon it. In.
stead of repeated vollics md destruct
i've effect, only one shot was fired be.
lore Lieutsnant Anderson took hand
in it, and that was without harm to
any one. So says the Lauronsville
Herald.
