The New York Adco cate, in q re-

BILE instances the attempt has been
made by their Northern pastors to
have only mixed congregations in

failure to establish mixed churches
has been the result Of your church
with all its prestige and power, bishss
ops, editors, and pastors willing to
aid in the enterprise, what will be the
result of the recent civil legislation !?
Certainly, in the congregation Of
saints, the true worshipers of God
should remember the Lord is the ma

blood all nations and colors, and is
no respectcr of persons or previous

Beyond Comprehension.

When Daniel Webster was in his
best moral estate, and when he was
in the prime of his manhood, he was
one day dining with a company Of lit
'erary gentlemen in the city Of Boston.
The company was composed of cler-
gymen, lawyers, physicians, states
men, merchants, and almost all clas-
ses Of literary persons. During the
dinner, the conversation incidcntly
turned upon the subject of Christiani-
ty. Mr.. Webster, as the occasion
was in honor of him, was expected to
take a leading part in the conversa-
ton, and he franks stated rs his re-
ligious sentiments, his belief in the
divinity Of Christ, and his depend
ence upon the attonement Of the Sa-
viour. A minister Of very consider
able literary repution, sat almost op-
posite him at the table, and lie looked
at him and said: eMr. Webster, can
you comprehend ,-how Jesus Christ
could be both God and man?" MIR.
Webster, with ore of those looks
which no man can initiate, fixed his
eye upon him, and promptly and. en-
phatically said: ssNo, sir, l cannot
comprehend it; and I would be
ashamed to acknowledge him as my
Saviour if | could comprehend it. If
could comprehend He could be no
greater than myself, and such is my
conviction of accountability to God,
such is my sense Of sfnfulness before
Him, and such is my knowledge of
my own incapacity to recover myself,
that / feel the need Of a super-human
Saviour. .--Bishop James.

"A FREE PREss. A free press is the
parent ofmuch good in a state. But
even licentious press is q far less
evil than press that is enslaved, be-
cause both sides may be heard in the
former rlcase, but not in the latter. A
licentious press may be an evil. an
cnslayed press must be 80 !; for an
.enslayed press may cause error to be
more current than wisdom, and wrong

press cannot effect these things, for

antidote, which an enslaved press

doubly fatal, it not only takes away

Bowen had been called murderer by

Honesty the Myisest Policy.

Honesty the EviSeSt Policy.
Few things are more. obstructive Of
the best interest Of society than tue
prevalent, but mistaken notion, that
it requires vast deal Of talent TO
be successful knave. This position,
while it diminishes that odium which
out to attach to fraud, in the part Of
those who profit by it; since there
are so many who would rather be
written down knaves, than fools. The
lplain fact is, that to be honest ayith
tsuccess, requires far more talent than
to be a rogue, and TO he honest avith-
out success, requires Far more magma
naninity; for trick is not dexterity,
cunning is not skill, and mystery is
not profoundness. The hottest man
proposes to arrive at certain point,
by one straight and narrow road, that
is beset on all sides with obstacles
and with impediments., He would
ratherastand. still, than proceed by
trespassing on the property Of his
1ncighbour, and would rather over
come difficulty, than avoid it BY
i'fbreasing down aFfenoe. sss.I6,
lit is true, proposes to himself the
lsame object, but arrives at it by n
livery different route. Provided only
THAT he gets on, he is not particular
whether he effects it where there is 0
road, or where there is none; he tres.
passes without scruplc, either on the
forbidden ground Of private property.
OIL. on those by-paths where there is no
Illegal thoroughfare; what lie cannot
reach over, he will over-rcach, and
those obstacles he cannot surmount by
climbing, lie will ,underpine by creep
ling, quite regardless Of the .flth that
may stick to him in the scramble
The consequence is that he frequent
! ly ovcrtnkes the honest man, and
passes by him with sneer. What
then shall we say, that tho rogue has
more talent than the upright? let us
rather say that he has less. Wisdom
is nothing more than Judgment cx-
ercised on the true value of things
that arc desirable; but Of things
in nthemselyes desirable, these are the
most SO that Rcmain the longest. Lei
us therefore mark the end of these
things, and we shall come to one con
clusion, the fiat Of the tribunal both
of God and of man THAT honesty
Is not only the deepest policy, but the
highest aoiSdon,; since however diff
cult it may be for integrity to get on.
iit.is thousand times more difficult
for knavery to get OF; and no error
lis more fatal than that Of those who
think that virtue has no other reward,
because they have heard that she is
her ro,On.

burg. He gave brief history OF the
whole matter, from its inception in
1868 to the present moment, showing
that it had been and continues q one.
man uffair throughout. Through the
exertions Of the then Senator from
Barnweli. in 1869. without asking the
people'e consent, the court hcrse was
almost literally taken up from Barn
we'll and d mped down at Blackviile.
This being done nnd the Senator hav-
ing reason to leave for other parts. the
people oame before the Legislature
aud asked that the question be SUBJ
mitted to popular vote. A majority
decided 10 favor oil Barnwell as the
County seat. That was test vote.
and when cast it decided tine question.
It should not be kept open according
to the whims and interests of any per-
son or of any clique OF persons. The
Republicans OF the County had &C.
quiesced in the settlement. and all the
public Observation-Disclosures put
forth statement that the election was
perfectly fair ana conclusive. It is an
unheard-of nuisance and On offence to
the people OF that County that the
question should come before them
again at the Instance OF the ex Senator
who had returned from his residence
in New York. There was 10 telling
where. in the changes OF time, in the
shaking OF destiny's dice-box, this ex-
Senator might fall ont. Barnwell
County and Barnwell County County
seat ought to remain undisturbed by
his petty ambitions, his petty schemes
and his migratory habits. Notwith-
standing the clear and convincing ar
gument of Senator Duncan. the
Senate voted by II to IA to sustain the
bill providing for another election to
determine again the place where the
County seat shall be. A number OF
persous appeared to be flying around
