Mr.. EDIroR:-Your editorial on the
action of persons visiting campmeetings
will no doubt meet the approval OF every
thinking American citizens who has any
regard for the rights and liberties OF his
fellow man. Any person going TO any
meeting whether for religious or any 9th
er purpose gotten up for the instruction,
amusement or pleasure OF any number
of our people III their own way without
them inierfearingwith the rights or opin-
ions of others should be protected by the
officers whose business il is to protect
every ctizan in the enjoyment of their
rights. No person of good sense or breed
ing would attempt to interfere or disturb
any meeting. That we Lave persons OF
the kind referred TO above is clearly
proved by the actions of the persons re-
terred to in your editorial. The question
most difficult to my m n TO solven how
are we TO expect any relief fiom the ap-
pointments made by Levy Court of the
constables of our county? As rule these
appointments are made fer some great
service performed for the party without
for moment taking into consideration
the adaptability or qualification Of the
person appointed to fill the position for
which he is appointed, and the class of
men appointed as general rule are those
persons who intend TO make a living out
of the office and are in nine cases out of
ten afraid to perform their sworn duty
for fear of giving offence to some
person who In some future period of time
might be clothed with powe r to make a
similar appointment. When men are elec
ted as Levy Court COMMISSIONERS who
are. of known honesty and wealth, inde-
pendence of char 10 faithfully carry
out what they believe to be right and
have the good sense to judge between
right and wrong We may expect bettel
things. Until then you must expect CAM
and other meetings, TO be disturbed by .th'
class Of individuals referred to in you
editorial. Respectfully.

Turkey and Reforms i'm Asia Mi
NOR,

LONDON, August 10.-Reuter's agent at
Constantinople transmits the following
apparently semi-otficial notes: "The diff
culties between Turkey and England rel
alive TO the introduction of reforms in
Asia Minor are almost entirely removed.
Mr.. Layard has abandoned some of the
demands made by England which the
Porte considered trenched upon its indie
pendence. The treaty respecting Cyprus
did not imply the remuneration by Turkey
Of her independence. Turkey would lis
ten to the counsels of England, but would
introduce reforms herself'withouta neces-
sity for the installation in Asia Of British
residents who would seek TO introduce re-
forms, instead of merely watch over their
execution"
