CUMBERLAND, Dec. 20, 1873

Mr.. EDITOR Having occasion TO visit
Frostburg on the 21st inst, | vas invited to
stay over Christmas by some of my friends
and subscribers of your valuable paper.
The invitation being accepted, was led to
sec the buildings and places of note around
town, and was finally conducted to the
New Welsh Independent Church. That
building of itself shows the result OF the
energy and zeal Of the small congregation
such short space Of time, viz: since
they separated from the Presbyterian,.
On entering the church | found the men,
bers zealously engaged in preparing mani
moth Christmas Tree, the fruit of which
was presents for the children for their faith
full attendance at Sunday School. This &C
compished, it was thought necessary to
try the echo of sound in the church by
singing, and it was proposed that MIR. DA-
vIp THOMAS and ZErHANIAH JONES and
others would sing few solos, &c, &c.
They did so and delivered themselves in a
creditable manner.
Next day (Christlnas) at 10 in the morn
ing, the time selected for prayer meeting
to formally open the church, goodly num-
Der assembled and services performed The
remaining part ofthe day was occupied IN
the recital of wel-lcarncd pieces, selected
from various books, by the children. The
adults engaged in speeches, ertehl9ore sing
ing of solos, DUETS, trios quartettcs, and
choruscs under the guidance Of that very
efficient leader, Professor ZErHAN1AH
JONES who has for many years been known
to the vocalsts of the old World as osaph
glan NWfni. Trusting that Prof. JONES
valuable services as choiist will prove
profitable to the new church wishing the
minister, chorists and congregation, wis
dom and success and thanking my many
friends for the hospitablc manner in
which they received me, bid them adieu
for this time. AIERCTi

The Big Future.-At the Burns
Festival at Homecoming, Col. HENRY j.
JoussoS, editor of the Cumberland Daily
Nsus. in response to "The Press" among
other nice things, got off the following POI
tentous idea:
"IIc hoped if our town became the coun-
ty scat of Alpine county, as intimated by
Judge DOUGLASS, that the population
might increase until the city could sup
port daily paper of its own, as big as the
New York Hcrald, printed on six-cylin
der Hoe press, and when that day came he
hoped to bc called to the position of editor.
Which sentiment was received with ''threc
times three for the Cumberland Daily, Neacs. "
Whew but we feel "skeered mot be-
cause we wish less for Homecoming and its
good people-but that New York Herald
arrangement is 'stunner y We did mt
know before we had JAMES GORDON
BENNETT among lie. We thought the
only man of exactly his stamp was dead
We think we read notice of his demise
in the Neus This must have been fraud ;
we have suspected as much only since he
turned up at Homecoming.
We presume it is useless inquiring about
the destiny of the "little fish" when this
mammoth, minnow eating, hexacylindrical
bass locates on Georges Creek, Or whether
the Nescs is to be reduced to orphanage by
desertion, but the point is-mhcn? We
haveit something like this: When Iona
coming becomes "the county-seat of Alpine
county" That Homecoming may become
the seat ofthe new county is not improba
BILE, but when the new county is named
"Alpine," Dams Rock will be the appro-
pirate seat, and J. G. B. will have been re-
gathered to his fathers.

candidate for Congress in the First District, Mr..
B. G. Caulfeld, is about ~ near the head Of that
combustion ~ 1t ia possible for anybody to get
We have taken soma pains to inquire into the
character, standing. and antecedents Of Mr..
Agnew, and, while we do not indorae all that the
Times says in his dispraise, ne think that Mr.
Bradley is decidedly the better man Of the Two
for the position. III. Bradley ought not to have
been nominated for 'third term y but, having
been nominated, and the choice lying between
him and his competitor, No advise those who
haye the best interests OF tha county at heart to
support him. We believe that be will prove
more efficient, faithful, and responsible officer
than Mr. Agnew.
For the Office Of Coroner the candidates arc
John Stephens, present incumbent, and Emil
Dietsch. There ia no reason that ~ know Of
why Mr. Stephens should be reelected. He has
held tho Office long enough. His competitor,
Hr. Dictsch, is I competent, intelligent, and

PROF. SWING AND TILE SYNOD.

The clerical profession delights to spread itself
on ''pub1ic corruption, the "a mn1ignity of party
strife, the venality Of the secular press" and
80 on. It therefore becomes matter Of inter-
est to observe how this class OF moralists carry
themselves, when they come into sharp collision
with each other. It is worth recording that
many OF them denean themselves in manner
honorable to the holy name they bear. We can
not say the same OF all. We had An edifying
spectacle, Some months ago. in the Episcopal
Convention in Wisconsin. We have had another
exhibition of clerical human nature in the late
trial of Prof. Swing. The matter is now
cool. For that reason the public can estimate
more juetly the character of clerical integrity.
While this made-up case WAS in the Chicago
Presbyterv. a venerable Professor arose and read
the middle Of q sentence, when the very next
word gave different sense to the whole passage.
II ne may believe Mr. Noyes' :: card, published
in TIE Tribune, similar attempt to mis}ead
hearers was made on the floor of the SYNOD OF
Illinois North, the prosecutor quoting Scottish
law from book not likely to be in the
hands Of American Presbyterians. and omit
ting from the passage q part which
conveyed sense exactly opposite to
that which it was designed by the mutilated ex-
tract to convey to tho Synod. II we may be-
leve the Alliance, re have also an instance of
moral intrepidity on the part Of eleven men, who.
being sworn to give g verdict according to the
evidence in the case, voted to sustain the Laird
Collier charge. not one word Of testimony being
brought forward, and Prof. Patton having re-
grated q matter they had forgotton) that he
could not bring his Witnesses into court. Still
another instance OF the bigh sense OF personal
honor entertained by that body Of divinea was
exhibited when the Rev. DR.. Franc accepted
the poaition OF counsel for Prof. Swing. and
glaringly neglected the interests Of the defend
ant
But the greatest lapse from good faith, .od

compact, Was the attempt-largely successful-
to mass the columns Of the Old School against

reunion, with prayers and ha!Ielujahs. that they
would mover do in any circumstances whatso-

It WAS, perhaps, no worse morally, but it VIA

Il is 30 with the American branch of the Bamt

| But this also is to be borne in mind the
process OF development ia not always single. Il
may be two-fold, and the two directly antAgo-
nistic to each other. This is often tho case. II
il most plainly the case with the American Epis-
copal Church at the present time. And this fact
must be recognized, or one will fAil 10 appre-
ciate the popularity of the situation. The pre-
natal struggle Of Jacob and Esau il the true
symbol OF that mostly hidden, but dead-1n-
earnest, strife which is going on in tho
bosom Of both the Anglican mud the Ameri-
can communions. These Churches are, by their
origin aud history, explicitly Protestant. Never
thelcss, 3 section of each-if not openly, yet
implicitly and essentially-has come to contra
dict the niuoty-fve theses OF Luther, and have
furtiveiy packed themselves OF to Rome. This
is the obstinate fact which now confrontB those
two Protestant organizations.
The General Convention Of the Episcopal
Church is the most notable ecclesiastical gath
ering Of the period. 1ts proceedings are nat
urally attracting much attention. In spite Of the
closed doors, everyone sees that matters there
are regarded Al having come to 3 pass. And
all the priestly and prelatical savanss there
in council arc likely to find it good

the great majority of Episcopalians, Ritualism is
nuisance and pest. In any square stand-up

when they arc brought to the test, and those
who avow do not avow all This embarraases
the efforts Of the Ajority, who are striving to
get rid Of the parasites. or what they consider
to be such. An evident disposition exists to put
down R1tualism, and something was accomplished
in that direction when DR.. Seymour reject
ed but it u not likely that anything more de-
cis,ve will be done by the Convention at its pres-
ent session. But the Ritualistic evolution will
continue, and before many years the Church will
bs obliged to define itself on tha question of
spectacular religious ceremonies in way that
will send the Ritualsts to Rome somewhat faster
than they arc now going. OF incur the risk OF

GUIZOT AND VEUuL0T.

Guizot has been called the Protestant Pope
Louis yeui1lot il the right-hand man in Franco
Of the Pope in Rome, for whom he does good
work as editor of the Unipers, the leading Cath
| ollc newspaper in France. No man could have
| Less sympathy with Guzot than the great Ultra
| montane journalist. Still, in the first number Of
his paper that appeared after it, suspension, he
devoted to the memory Of the deceased statet-
man and author \ remarkable article which,
considering the source, may be looked upon ss a
high testimonial TO the virtue and genius Of
Guizot. Veuilot first met Guizot when the lat
! ter was President Of the Council and Minister
Of Foreign Affairs under Louis Philippe. Veuil-
lot himself Was ut the time subordinate State
official It MAS his duty to giye Guizot every
day report OF the opinions expressed BY the
morning journals, and to write down the COM
ments made upon them by him for the Ministry
Of the Interior. He grew attached to Guizot.
Among the qualities of his chief which caused
the future journalist to cling to him were bis
rare dignity, his exhaustless patience, his disposi-
tion to oblige, his respect and devotion To his
mother, his tenderness for his children, his
simplicity in his greatness, his wonderful
eloquonce, and his almost boundleas Informs
ton.
Veuillot had hoped that Guizot would some
day enter the true fold; but this hope WIS
doomed to end in disappointment Still Louis
Veuillot is not, or rather does not mean to be,
entirely complimentary to Guizot. Strange to
say, he finds in him q disciple OF Voltaire aud
Rousseau,--a man without faith and without re-
ligion! And all this in face OF the fact that
Guizot has published two series Of Meditstions
on the Christian Religion, and has written
IN argument in favor Of the Immortality Of the
soul All these facts Veuil1ot gets rid Of By assur
ng his readers that, in all that Guizot writes on
religion there is not the trace Of single great
thought; that his religion was only q form Of
speech, negation; and that he talked about
theology without knowing what theology meant,
At bottom ho claims that Guizot WAS ekeptic
like those be wrote against, but skeptic with
out knowing it. Not only was he skeptic, he
Was revolutionisr, as Veuil1ot charges. Gui-
cots political creed ia found to be not much bet
Ter than his religious one. He charges lin with
having both opposed and favored Democracy.
His mistake Was in supposing that, having re-
fused to be governed by an aristocracy Of birth.
France should consent to be governed by an aris-
tocracy of shop-keepers. II. Veuillot must look
through very queer spectacles to discover
in II. Guizot disciple Of Voltaire.
man without religion, skeptic. and
revolutionist. The trouble with II. Veuillot
undoubtedly is,-and it is the explanation of his
charge against Guizot, that any one not his dis
cip1e ia Z disciple Ut Voltaire, and that whoever
does not accept his own peculiar dogmss is a
skeptic and revoiutioniat. And thus 1t hap
pens that Veuillot's censu1e Of Guizot, no less
than his praise, is to be put to the credit aide Of
the deceased statesman.
