The Reported Bargain and Sale In
Regard to the Capital Question.
To the Editors OF the Wheeling Intellie eneer:
| read in your columns an article taken
from the Charleston Courier, charging the
Democracy OF the First Congressional
district with offering to secure to Charles
ton the Capital on condition that the
Third Congressional district would con-
sent TO annex the noble and Democratic
county, oil Rraxton to the First Con-
gresSiOnal district We all understand
how important 1t Is to have Democratic
county added TO the First district to secure
the election Of a good Bourbon Democrat
to Congress from that district. But Is II
fair for the Courier to charge or insinuate
that any such proposition had been made
by the Democracy of the First Congress
sional district without giving names
Your correspondent feels q deep inter.
est in the good name Of the Democracy
Of the First District; he knows hundreds
Of honest Democrats who would as soor
run their hand in the fire as to swap away
the interest the people Of the First and
Second Congressional Districts have In
the Capital question; men who would
rather see even q Republican elected from
the First District for all time, than be guilty
Of any such betrayal Of representative
trust. For one I think the Courier ought
to give the public the name OF the miser-
able tricster and knave that had the i'm
pudence aud Dishonesty TO propose such Q
corrupt bargain and sale as that referred
to In your article. The people begin Il
think that there has been too much bar
gaining about the Capital question already
and they are getting very sensitive on
that question. As the Braxton swap was
not made, can the Courier tell the pub
lie Dwhy the House bill removing
the Capital to Wheeling was not called
up in the Senate and passed or defeated
BY that body. II vote had been taken on
a motonito takeup the bill, or on its prs,
sage, and 1t had been defeated the 'peo
pie would be then informed who betray-
ed them. But as no member Of the Sen.
ate had courage enough to move in the
matter. does It not look;as IL other SWAPS
and influences had been brought to beal
on the Capital question than the Brax-
ton swap. Canyon. or the Courier give
Us any light on the question.
Aoors, most truly, PAUL Pay.

MR.. BEEcHER ON BAPTISM.

i
The Ordinance in and Of Itself Noth-
lngssThe Household as Fit q Place
as the Sanctuary for its Adminis-
tratIon.
Plymouth Church was as crowded as
usual yesterday morning, and the weather
being sufficiently warm to permit the
doors being open, the yestibule as well as
the church proper, was occupied. Mr..
Beecher gave the usual notice that on the
succeeding Sabbath the children OF be.
lieving parents might be brought 10 tho
church for baptism. In connection with
this matter he said. "The question is
often asked whether l will baptize chill.
dren Of persons who are not, in the ordi-
nary sense Of the term, Christians, that 10,
not members Of the church, l reply that
with my ideas Of baptism am perfectly
willing TO baptize the chi. lren Of any
persons who are disposed 10 bring their
children up correctly. The ordinance
Of baptism has no power whatever
upon the child; It Is the dedication OF
the child by Ito parents. The child is IN.
conscious and incapable OF taking upon
itself any vows. They are taken by the
parents, and 1t Is worse than folly for
parents to take upon themselves vows
which they are VIGOROUSLY unable to per.
form, and the only reason why there
should be anylimitation Is that the parents
who know nothing about Christianity can.
not undertake 10 perform these vows. II
the child were dying that would certainly
be q different case. II 1t would soothe the
pangs OF parents heart, even though
they had only o superstition on this mat
ter, | should certainly baptize the child
OF any parent who felt that 1t would be a
comfort 10 send forth his child in this
way. The Roman Catholic priest has a
different theory, and acts according to his
theory but / hold that baptism and a.
other ordinances are in themselves
nothing, and that their power or validity
depends either upon those that observe
them or upon those that Vicariously
observe them on behalf Of others. Pa.
rents assume certain duties for their
children In the presence of the Chris
tian community. II Is also asked whether
l will perform household baptism; l say
yes; for 1t Is the truest way. The truest
church on earth is the family; It is beau.
tiiul form for child TO be married under
the roof Of her father and mother, and II
q child should be baptised 1t Is proper, as
the most sacred oil Gods ordinances, that
It should be identified with the household
Itself. Yet as We undertake to watch |
over each other in that form nj xua fchfnI
ness Is included the watching and caring
for each others children, and there is |
fitness in the baptism Of children in the |
sanctuary. Therefore being more con-
venient upon the whole, as well as more |
impressive, desire that the children OF |
believing parents shall be brought here;
but II there be reasons, such as sickness
or any other, why this cannot be done.
No one need think that the household or |
home Is less sacred than the church in |
which to perform any rite or any religious
sacrament-M Y. paper.

Mr.. Taft, a lawyer, member of the

that he had no objection whatever "a

Buddington suggested the propriety OF

Mr.. Beecher assented, requesting his rev.

and agreeing to follow. Before Nh. Beech.

entered, and contemplated the scene with
such amazement as may be Copjectured.
His establishment was not diminished

church, with characteristic readiness, be.

Beechers own words, "gave 1t TO him

several Baptists, that it would be en-
tirely agreeable, to the members to use
it for this purpose. @
Is the cost too great? We think not.
An experienced watch maker, who
has circulars of town clock makers,
tells us that a clock with 4 dials (3a
feet in diamiter), giving only the time,
can be purchased for $3.50; clock
striking the hours would cost, s425.
There would be q few additional ex-
penses incurred, but they would be
comparatively small. But who will
furnish the money? Where the whole
community is to be benefited, we are
unwilling to ask q few individuals to
bear the expenses, and think the Town
should foot the bill. We respectfully
suggest to our Council to give this
matter their immediate attention. Let
every one who is interested speak to
the members of the Council on the
subject.

country whose children aspire to ,un-
usual advantages near at home, I'VE can

always will secure large support. Next
in order is the Urangeburg Academy
of Mr.. Jas. s. Hayward. Mr.. III. is a
teacher of fine culture and his through
drill places him in an enviable posi-
ton for the public patronage. Mr..
Stiles Il. Mellichamp is in deserved
favor with his first class school, and is
abreast with the, latest modes of in
struction. We hope these popular
schools will be filled Mt their next
session.

there is no standard recognized by the
