WADE PATTERSON.


The Harrisburg Patriot, in alludng
TO tho recent course of events, chimes
in in this way; "Whea the dell wa.
sick, the doll u saint would bc.' Lol
the thrifty carpet bagger who har
been so savage IN denounclng Wade
Hampton, now rdshes into the cmbrac,
of the Governor OF South Carolina and
falls upon his neck, whispering sweetcr
words in his ear even than those which
have so long been ascribed to the con
versation between the Governor OF
South Carolina and the Governor OF
North Carolina. Sheriff Bowen and
John ]. Patterson have hurried to bow
iealty, and Greener, negro professor
from South Carolina, who has been es.
pcclally fierce against Hampton, has
pledged all kinds Of allie, glance, and
even went so far us to ask OF Hampton
u letter OF Identification, saying that
such document would do him much
service just now. 1t appears that he
(Grecner) has not been enabled to draw
any pay for thepast eight months, aud
calls on Hampton to have his little bill
settled No doubt Patterson and
Bowen want like favors. Atall tvents
we bid Hampton beware OF these
Greeks bearing gifts. 1t was Horace
Greeley who drew the picture Of the
carpet bagger embracing the negro
with one hand and diving deep down
into his breeches pocket with the other.
If Hampton has any valuables about
his person, we advise him to not let
Patterson and Bowen get too affection

Clcarlicld, Pa, April 5, 1877.

Mr. EDlroR;-Upon hooking over
the last issue ot the REPUBLICAN, | was
astonishcd to read, "A sad breach of
Gods holy law is occurring in this com
munity 10 day. May God
forgive those who have erred in this
matter, and may God avert from this
community the curse which is sure Ia
follow the public trampling upon Iii.
law, even though il be IN the so.called
interests Of Justice !"
1t is ialr 10 presume that this extra
ordinary language refers to the circnm.
stance that Judge Orvis held court on
Sunday last during the trial of Martin
V. Tnrser, tor the murder of Maria j.
Waple. From the language employed
by Rev. Mr.. Butler, one would imagine
that crime had been committed b,
the Court, in comparison to which the
murder of Mrs. Waple was "triflr
light IA air" or ny unsubslantial as
THE baselers vision of dream" The
question ut once arises, Is the above
awful prayer (Which sounds more like
AN imprecation) justified by the facts
in the case? A little further on he
says; "The duty Of the hour for every
Christian aud lover OF truth and order,
in view of the apparently uncalled for
act, is to express himself clearly in re-
gard to IT,"
Now, ar. E'litor, claiming to be a
"lovcr Of truth" | am more than will.
ing that the whole truth shall appear,
aud if Judge Orvis be guilty of vio-
lation of the law of God in holding
court on Sunday, let il come out.
Will Rev. Mr. Butler bc kind enongh
to answer the following questions
through the medium Of the REpuBLI.
CAN:
|. Does the Christian Sabbath rest
upon the authority of the Bible
2. If 30; plcasc give chapter and
verse.
3. How often does the word Sabbath
occur in the Bible?
4. How often does il refer to Sun.
day as being the Sabbath?
b. Did Christ observe the Jewish
Sabbath?
8. Did lie institute the Christian
Sahbath2
7. II He did not; who did?
Hoping that the reverend gentleman,
will express himself clearly" have
