The Lecturer has been secured at an
immense expense to the State. The sub

i'll order to become the master of his sub
Ject, he has devoted the entire Contingent
Fund to this purpose. He is living ex-
ample Of what Religion can do for hu-
manity, when properly understood. He
will show how little faith can be placed
in doctrines Of the Church Fathers: that
to have Religion, one must necessarily
possess Morality, Chastity, Truth, Homes
ty, Good Faith, Reverence and Filial
Love, (to say nothing Of Virturc.) He
will show i'll his own person that one can,
in his opinion, be Religious, from Chris
tian standpoint, without possessing any
of the aforesaid imaginary qualities. He
will show that without them ore can rise
to the highest position in the State. Du-
ring the Lecture, he will produce Neagle
MS an example of man without Religion,

ASSE.SslfEN4,s,

Marion County demands a reassess-
ment ofits property, and a committee
has been sent there to look into the books
of the Auditor. We have very little
faith in the visit Of the committee, as tits
n cog i'll the party wheel, but we insist
that something can and should be done
in the matter of assessment. IF a COM
mittee of appraisers was sent t. value the
various property lately returned for tax
alton, it would render in, an aggregate of
at least thirty per cent less, provided said
committee ,%ass veg locking ;n:c the value
ofproperty to the owners, and not the
value ofsuch property to the assessors.
In Orangeburg for instance the owners of
property have affirmed on oath to the
value ofproperty, and in almost every
case, the returns have been set aside, and
one made according to the assessment of
the officers of that department.
We are forced to admit "that ye are
the people" but dissent "that wisdom
shall die with you" Let the people have
another assessment. 1t will save them
many thousands.
