u We have a suggestion to make to
the Christian people of Rogersville. 1t
IS this ; Let the two Presbyterian or
CARNATIONS here unite and form one
congregation of worshipping christian
men and demonstrating as their guild
ing star only Jesus Christ and his great
love for the human race Then let that
congregation take possession of the build
ing known as the First Presbyterian
church as their house of worship This
arrangement will leave the beautiful
house on the hill unoccupied. Next let
the two organizations here known as
Northern and Southern Methodist unite
their forces, buy the Second Presbyte-
rian church building and go together as
one family of christian brothers and
sisters. Let them ali forget the foolish
quarrels of the past; let them forget the
bitter and wicked feelings engendered
by the war, and let them remember that
they are, one and all, the weak, erring
children of the earth-mere moths,
whose lives will in little while be
ended so far as this world is concerned.
Let the people comprising these denom-
nations do these things, and see how
sweet and how pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity. The imme-
date effect of such a union as this
would be wonderful It would revolu-
tionize and improve everything about
this old town, and make the old people
shout for joy, while the rising genera
ton would grow up to be better and
more useful men and women than their
fathers and mothers have ever been.
But we forget ourselves. Sectarian pre-
JUDGES are the hardest of all prejudices
to root out of the hannah heart Neither
party will admit that they are or ever
have been in the least particle wrong,
and hence it seems impossible to re-
unite two churches after they have once
quarreled and separated. We don't |
charge them anything for our advice, !
but would be wonderfully surprised as
well as tremendously gratified if the |
devil would absent himself from Rogers |
vile long enough for our extremely I'M
selfish suggestions to be adopted But |
we guess the old fellow won't go.

E5-On last Sabbath morning we no
t:ced the streets of Rogersville full of
armed men. Upon inquiry it was found
that the squad of cavalry was portion
Of a force recently sent by the United
States Marshal at Knoxville into New
mans Ridge, in Hancock county, for
the purpose of breaking up illicit disti[
leries. These men said they had des-
troyed fourteen distilleries in the Ridge,
but upon inquiry from other sources
we learn that two only of these in
situations were captured. The ether
twelve being only sheds where stills had
been heretofore operated, and the own
ers of which hearing of the raid had
doubtless moved to safer quarters.
BY the way, where is the law to be
found authorizing young men to be
armed and ride through the country
burning down cabins and destroying
property? This is new thing in the
United States of America, and we are
too far behind the times to understand
it. The laws ought to be enforced of
course, but it seems to US that those
people in the Ridge might be managed
without such great show of rifles and
pistols as were paraded ON the streets
last Sabbath morning.
We venture to say Capt. Tom Berry
could take two men and arrest every
aw-breaker on Newman's Ridge. And
yet 20 or 100 young fellows, with Spencer
rifles and Colts pistols, charge through
these, at a cash expense of two or three
thousand dollars, with one poor, little
hotel keeper from Sneedyille, charged
with selling whisky TO his customers
without license, as the result of their
valiant raid.

they incurred.

white and Black Mortality.

The health report of Charleston,
S. c., presents son facts touching
the comparative vigor of whites and
blacks that it is not easy to explain.
The population of the city is &C..
OOO-24,000 viii ties and $4,000 color
ed persons. AS the colored persons
outnumber the whites, of course the
mortality tables embrace a greater
number of the former than of tie
latter; but the disproportion ofdeashs
is satrikingly greater than the dis
proportion in the population. Thus.
among the whites there were 668
deaths. and among the colored per
sons 1874 deaths in 1876-or twice
as many among the latter as among
the former, though the eolored popu-
lation exceeds the white only one
third. In 1875 there were 624 dea,hs
among the whites and 1,240 among
the blacks-still about the same dis
proportion. In 1876 there were p
deaths in the thousand among The
whites and AZ in the thousand among
the blacks. The difference is still
more strikingly exhibited in the in
FAINT mortality. About A per cent
of all the deaths were of childre
under Eve years old, or 896; but Of
this number only 238 were white
children and $50 colored-or nearly
three of the latter to one CT the for
mer. These facts are not explained
by the inability of the colored peo-
pie to secure medical attendance.
for medical attendance can be hal
by the poor, white and black alike.
