DR.. Shepperson will perhaps not consider that
the criticism of W. R. g. in the Central of the
Both ult. is worthy of serious reply. But it may
be pertinent for one of his brethren and copresby.
ters to enter an indignant protest against the per-
versions of the critic Can anything be more I'M
fair than to argue, that because wise and expert
enced theologian uses a scriptural expression
"coworkers" with Christine is assuming for man
the functions of the blessed Spirit? w. r. G.
may as well find fault with the Scriptures for such
expressions as these, 1.-The works that / do shall
he do also and greater works than these shall he
do" &c., Z" He that conrerteth sinner
The remainder of W. R. Cts communication is
we'll, though undesignedly, answered in the Central

to pray and labor for the conversion of the whole
world is unscriptural, and its prevalence in the

Rev. c. A. .Stzlnlan. ID. d.. Tuscaloosa, Ala,
late Moderator OF the General assembly:
Rev. and Dear Sir.-As soon as the Executive
Committee of Publication became aware OF the en-
barrassments in which DR.. Baird had involved It,
prompt measures were adopted to repair the losses
incurred, and the Church has been informed OF the
Indebtedness as far as it could be ascertained.
Those who represented our Committee In the
General Assembly we're careful to state that We nad
not been able to determine the exact amount oil
our dues. We have recently had an unpleasant
illustration of the truth of this statement. -Four
notes given by DR.. Baird, which he did not report
to the Committee, have been sent in for collection
amounting in all to 81 $50 95 Two of these notes
we're given for materials used exclusively for Com
mittee purposes The third and fourth of these
notes we're given for material, part Of which was
used for Committee purposes, and part used by
DR.. Baird
l have before me the report Of the Finance Com
mittee to the Executive Committee, dated June
5th, from which make the following extracts:
1.-The Finance Committee declines to pay for SC

his private purposes and the holders of the notes
do not insist upon any claim against the Commit
tee for the same. Making this proper deduction
from the aggregate of these notes, we find the ad
ditionaI Indebtedness of the Committee, not hith
erto reported, to be $952OI
after the lapse OF SO much time, it is fair tc
infer that no other items Of Indebtedness will be
presented. Now that we have ascertalned the ex
tent of our Indebtedness for paper. In which &C
count alone were found errors, we express the con
| fdent belief that all of the Indebtedness OF the
Committee has been reported. 1t is proper tt
state that the sum of $952.07 should be added t
the amount heretofore reported as being, due thu
| Committee by DR.. Baird. When added, the whole
amount would be S23, 800. A"
These statements are communicated to the pub
lie that those interested may learn the entire his
tory of the affair down to the present time, and to-
the information Of those who had promised to alt
in making up the sum required to meet the imme
date liabilities Of the Committee, when the whole
amount of the debt can be definitely ascertained.

REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH.-The pre-

plants itself on the principles of the Church
of England at the time of the Reformation,

Episcopal faith will hold in check the ex-

and unprinciplcd men who became
by force of superior opportunities
their leaders. When l say this, l
desire particularly to add that L do
not cast more blamc upon the color
cd than upon tho white leaders Of
tho Republican party in South
Carolina. Upon the whole, I think
my own race has as much to answer
for in connection with bad leader
ship in that State as the colorcd
race. Tho result is the same. Bad
leaders and ignorant followers
could not work ont the problem of
good government. This has been
the great obstacle and hindrancc to
the success Of the Republican party
in the Southern States, and it may
be set down as the principal cause
Of our overthrow. The difficulty
was that Il majority Of those who
undertook to lead tho Republican
party in South Carolina made Il pro-
fcssion of politics and lived accord
ingly."
Upon the subject of the resources

corn, her facilities for production
and manufacture, arc absolutely I'M
surpassed. had a dream of iden~
tifying myself with the development
Of these great resources not, if you
will allow mo to say, so much as a
matter Of personal ambition as OF
satisfaction ut seeing a State capable
of taking hor place among the great
productive agencies of the Union
