Judge james P, Sinnott cffectually
disposes of the income charges made
by the New York Times. The morn
ing papers of Thursday contained
the full statement, Judge Sinnott
was the managing clerk of Samuel
]. Tilden during the year that the
tax is in question, and proves that
every allegation made by the Times
was false. The Times, in reply, adj
mits that the mostimportant charges
are without foundation, and as to the
minor ones, they allcge that proof
will be forthcoming, These charges
have been before the public for some
time, and the Times has had ample
to obtain, and doubtless
has made every attempt to get the
proof which the editor now promises.
The newspaper has been proven a
liar, and no rational person can con.
sistently believe it again. Mr., Til
den deserves great credit for acting
with such forbcarance under the try
ing circumstance, but the indigna-
tion that is expressed by the public
for the attempt upon his good char
actcr amply rcpays him for the pain
he has undoubtedly suffered.

One of the happicst signs in the
South, pointing to peace and pros
pcrity, is the growing tendency of
the negroes to abandon the idea that
in voting with the whites they arc
imporiling their own rights. The
colorcd men trust thewhitcs in their
personal and business relations with
them, and give them confidence and
respect. Yet in political matters
they have been taught to so in di-
rect opposition 10 them. 1t is the
fear that the negroes are now learn
ing the folfy of so separating them
selves from the whites politically and
keeping up forever the race line, that
is making the Republican managers
at Washington SO anxious about the
result in some of the late slave States
upon which they once counted for a
majority next November.

SENATOR BAYARD on TAFT's ORDER.
In answer to the inquiries of an
interview as to what he thought of
Attorney General Taft's late order
turingover the South to military law,
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, said;
"No document so partisan in char
acter, so reckless of all constitution
al limitations upon power, so regard
less of historical truth, so utterly in
subordinate to the decisions Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
has in the history of our country is
sued from II department; not only
acting as all departments should act,
under the sanction Of law, but looked
to by all other departments of the
executive as itself the fountain OF
law for them"

By our State papers weare encour-
aged to believe our Statoand Nation
al tickets will be triumphantly elect
ed. In Democratic counties, despite
the, ,monied influence sought to be eff
fectually used by the administration
party, the majoritics-if indications
arc worth anything-will be incrcas-
ed, and in Republican counties we
have cause for thankfulness in the
hope that the majorities will be di-
minished. But, it behoovcs the
Democratic Conservative party to be
vigilant and not to trust to appear
anccs; to work with unrcmitting en-
ergy until the polls close on the day
of election.

Church Services,

The Rev. J. r. Thompson preached
two interesting sermons here last Sab
bath. The subject Of the mornings dis
course was the value and importance of
cultivating the feelings as well as the
intellect, in riNious, as well as secular
matters, taking tor bis text the Both
verse of the 4th Chapter of John, Jesus
wcpt." In his usual happy manner the
speaker tried to impress upon all the
Importance of sympathi2ing with the al.
flctcd and rejoicing with those who had
cause for jOy--Chrst being the great
example, who went to the home of the
publican and the sinner, ana had tear
to shed for those whose hearts were
bowed down, heavily with sorrow.
In the evening he preached from Luke,
18th chapter, 1lth and 18th verses, sub
ject, "thc Phurisec.' lie did not, as is
often the case, load the name of this well
known class with denunciative cpithets
and contemptuous dcriSion; but held
him up in II true and impartial light
describing him AS character of great
respcctabllIty, one pure in morals, truth
ful and honest IN all his dealings; zeal
Gus for his religion, travelling far and
sacrificing much for the sake of ginning
a single proselyte for his beloved faith ;
paying chcerfully to his priest and
church a tenth of all his income; liberal
to the ponr, charitable in all things, and
summed up his character as an excellent
citizen and a useful man. Why then
was the Publican JUSTIFIED rather than the
Pharisee? Because he bowed himself
down humbly, asking of the Great Ia.
tier for favor--for help lp-acknowledged
himself Publican, sinner, and pleaded
for mercy--for pardon--which all must
do Publican or Pharisee, now, in our
own day as well as then. We ATE more
than pleased to see that the fiery gos.
pei" and the draggoon style of enfoI,
cling it, is fast giving way to the gospel
of mercy, peace, good will to men,.
The Rev, gentleman was also present
and conducted the services OF the Sab
bath School, in the afternoon, in which
he takes deep interest.
We are informed by him. that the
Rev. d. W. McFee will be here to hold
church services Sunday Dec. 18th, and
will remain here till after New Year
so that all those who are religiously in.
