THE CURE OF MODERN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

by REV. DIR. NEWMAN.
The cure of modern inHdelity was the subject
of the Rev. DIR. Newman, his text being, Matthew
XIV, 16-"Let your light shine before men that
they may your good works and glorfy you,
father which is in heaven" This command,
said the Doctor, is coextensive with the abode of
man. 1t is a mistake to suppose that there is any
duty binding the Christian that is not equally
binding upon ali men. Belief in Christianity does
not create these duties, does unbelief destroy
them They antecedent to both and Independent.
The cure Of modern infdelity is twofold. The duty
of those who boleve and the duty of those who dis
believe. What may believers do to cure this evil ?
What may unbeliovers do to gain tho faith 2

COOPER UNION SERVICES.

The gospel temperance services at the Cooper
Union, under the leadership of Mr.. @. w. Sawyer,
were more than usually woll attended last night.
The singing by choir of 100 voices was led by Mr..
Thatcher and the hymns wore chiefly those of Moody
and sankoy. MIR. Thurlow Weed occupied a retired
scat on the stage. The Scripture reading was that
relating to the cure Of Naaman from leprosy by
washing seven times In the Jordan, and Mr.. Sawyer
drew from 1t the lesson that any drink
ing man or any one troubled with the
leprosy of sin had only to bathe himself
IN the spiritual Jordan to be cleansed. This story.
Mr.. Sawyer said, contained tho Gospel In its en-
tirety. There was only power that could cure
God himself There was only thing worse than
leprosy, and that was drunkenness. With the East
ern loprosy might reach God. but with the
leprosy of drunkenness he could never enter the
kingdom OF heaven. A great many people thought
they could buy their way into heaven;
but God did not care for money. Naaman took with

Suffering for q Life Time.

Persons afflicted with rheumatism often
suffer for life time. their torturos being al
most without remission. The joints and
muscles of such unfortunates are in most
cases shockingly contorted and drawn out
of shape. To afford them even temporary
relief, tho ordinary remedies often prove
utterly useless. Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters, on the other hand, is avouched by per-
sons who have used it: to be genuine
source of relief. 1t keeps the blood cool By
promoting regular habit of body, and re-
moves from it impurities which, in the
opinion of all rational pathologists, origi-
nate this agonizing complaint and its kin
dred malady, the gout. Besides this the
Bitters remedy disorders Of the stomach,
liver and nerves, prevent and eradicate in
termittent and remittcnt fevers, promote
appetite and sleep, and are highly recon-
mended by physicians as desirable medi

The HoMEsTEAD.-Judge Aldrich
rendered very important decision last
week on the question ofhomestead exem-
ton, says the Newberry Herald. With
out giving the names of parties, the facts
are as follows: Judgment was obtained
before trial justice against defendant,
and he claimed the benefits of the
homestead law. He owned no land.
Appraiser were appointed to set him
apart homestead in his personal prop
erty. The appraisers made their return
setting apart to defendant personal prop
erty specified in the Constitution as ex-
empt to the amount of $3.50, but refused
to set apart corn, bacon, -four and fodder,
these articles, in the Judgment of the
commissioners, not being exempt accor-
ding to law. The defendant moved the
trial justice for an order of assignment,
on the ground that corn, fodder, bacon
and -four should have been set apart to
him as exempt. The trial justice decided
against him, holding that these articles
we're not exempt, except when the pro-
ducts of a homestead that these articles
were not the yearly products of defen-
dants homestead, because he owned no
real estate, and that they were not e1-
empt as personal property, because they
we're not enumerated as exempt under
the Constitution. The defendant ap-
pealed to the Circuit Court. Judge AL
drich sustained the appeal, holding that
the personal property debtor of every
description is exempt to the amount of
$500. We learn that the judgment cred
itor proposes to appeal to the Supreme
Court. That Court already has one or
more cases of an exactly similar charac-
ter before it. It's decision is awaited
with interest.

RANDALL's FoEMAN.--Mr. Joseph O..
S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, who pro-
poses to dispute the claims of Sam Ran
dali for the Speakership of the next
House, is now serving his third term in
Congress and is a recognized leader on
the Democratic side. Joe is Al years old,
graduate of Centre College, Kentucky,
q lawyer by profession, entered the Con-
federate army in 1861 and served to the
close of the war. He walks with q bad
limp-the effect Of 8 Union bullet hav-
ing been deposited in his left leg by
a boy in blue to remind Mr. Blackburn
that his attempt to overthrow the consti-
tuition and the Union was somewhat seri-
oas and repreheDsible undertaking. He
is free and easy speaker, and his orato-
ry largely partakes of the usual aurora
borealis style that characterized the typ
ical Southern stumper. His presence is
good and his voice resembles the sound
OF a freman's trumpet, which is needed
qualification in man who wishes to be
heard in so boisterous and turbulent o
body as the House Of Representatives.

presiding officer as Randall, but that is
saying very little in praise of Joseph.
He lacks little of the dignity that Ran
dali possesses-and Randall never had
any to spare-but that Joe will rival
Sam as a partisan, if he ever gets into
the Speakers chair, there can be little
doubt. Blackburn represents in his own
proper person the very latest and most
approved style of modern Democracy,
and is, therefore, q most fit man to be
made the conspicuous fgure-head of an
extra session of Congress that has been
called in consequence of the parti-
san blindness and stubbornness of
his party. A dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon,
States rights Democrat and an ex-
Confederate brigadier, all united in one
and the same person, present claims for
consideration that cannot be ignored by
the new order about to be established in

The extra session Of Congress which
assembled on last Tuesday is one of the
ostimportant that has ever met since
the formation of the government, and
upon its courss, in large measure, de-
pends the future of our government.
The issues it has before it are vital to the
very existence Of our form of govern
ment, and the contest which is predicted
between the legislative and executive de-
partments soYsr these issues will be
watched as the solution of the problem
Of future free government in America.
Ifthe infamous election laws, which were
framed in the heat of passion which fol-
lowed the late war, and which to an un-
expected extent has placed the control of
the boastsd free ballot into the hands Of
the executive, cannot be repealed before
another national election is held, then it
may with certainty be predicted that the
frauds which made Mr.. Hayes President
in 1876, when Mr.. Tilden was elected,
will be repeated in 1880, and, gathering
strength from success, they will en-
bolden the executive until q formidable
attempt upon the Republic will be made.
The only hope for the prosperity and
peace of the country lies in the success
of the Democratic undertaking to abolish
these partisan and oppressive laws.

The Canal Agreement.

There seems to be some misapprehen-
sion arising in our city touching the ac-
ceptance by the commission of the propo-
sition submitted by Mr.. Thompson. The
facts of the case do not warrant the very
natural anxiety felt in the premises, and
for which we attach no blame whatsoever
to the public, for burnt child breads
the fire, and the years hitherto frittered
away in the vain Sprague contract is
calculated to make our people somewhat
incredulous as to these contracts.
The present facts are these-that the
contract entered into by the commission
ers cannot be fully carried out until the
Legislature shall grant charter to the
parties proposing the completion of the
water power and the erection of manu-
featuring improvements, the same to be
performed in two years. Now, the pres
ent work under the present appropriation
in no way inierferes with this Thompson
arrangement, but will 60 on just as if no
such arrangement had been entered into
by the commissioners.
II the proposition entertained by the
commissioners should be consummated
by the Legislature in the making of GER
tain grants, under such guarantees as the
case would demand, then the work which
will now be carried on will serve to facil-
itate operations under the Thompson
contract. But if the Legislature should
refuse to make the grant, then the work
would go on under Engineer Holley's
plan towards the completion of the i'm
provement. This is all of it if we should
write a week, and it seems to US the COM
missioners, whilst wisely taking advan-
tage of what is esteemed, on the whole,
an advantageous proposition, have done
so, so as not To defeat present operations
one iota. The conclusion is that the
canal is an absolute necessity to our city
and great desideraturn to the State at
large, and it is becoming more and more
popular with the people of the State
every day as its merits are discussed and
its great value more understood by the
people at largo,
It is plain, with tho best water power
in the South, as Mr.. Thompson pro-
nounced ours to be, and he did so to us
in person, telling us that he had been ten
weeks in the South looking up this mat
ter, and deliberately pronounced this to
be the case as a practical and expert
enced MILL engineer-it is plain that
great manufacturing city is Columbia's
future destiny, and that as such she must
become most important market for all
kinds of up-country products. Now,
then, let US all put our heads together to
carry on our share Of tho bargain in good
part, and if the contracting parties can
make a good thing out Of it, so much the
better for us; for so much surer will be
the great success of the enterprise. Let
US not shake loose from the first party
who, coming to us with the very best
Northern references, has given the best
evidences Of being in earnest in develop
ing great resource which has been so
long idle. Let us give him a helping
hand in this matter, whilst, at the same
time, we show our faith in the enterprise
by going on with the present work.-C0-

FATAL AFFRAY IN ATLANTA.-Col.
Robert A. Aston, a native of South Car
olina, but for years resident of Georgia,
and member of the present Legislature,
was killed in an atfray in Atlanta on
Tuesday, 11th inst, by Capt. E. S. Cox.
Alston fired three shots and Cox two.
Alston was shot in the right temple, the
ball passing through his brain. Cox was
shot in the mouth and through the left
hand. Alston is dead, but Cox is not
seriously hurt. The difficulty arose from
Alston's having power Of attorney from
Senator Gordon to sell the latter's inter.
est in the State convict lease. Cox is q
sub-lessee under Gordon, and wanted
Alston to sell Gordon's interest to Wal
tiers, who had promised to buy Cox out.
Alstoa sold 70 another person. Cox
threatened Aston at noon that he would
kill him before sundown if the trade WAS
not cancelled and made with his man.
He hunted Alston down!e Gov. Colquitt
and others having detained Alston at the
capitol, the quarrel was renewed, and
both drew their pistols with the result
above stated.

The Poor Deluded Negroes.

Some of the Republican newspapers at
the North, and particularly in this city,
have seized the opportunity of a few ne
groes migrating from certain parts of the
Southern States to Kansas, or elsewhere
in the Northwest, to represent this az q
significant movement, and as the result
of unfair treatment of the colored people
by the whites. In the first place, there
is no considerable migration, and certain
ly not to the Northwest. Whatever is
taking place is from the poorer soil of the
Atlantic States to the richer lands of the
Mississippi Valley in the South. The
negro likes excitement and change, es-
pecially since emancipation, but the
mass of negroes are working contentedly
and earning good wages with their old
masters, or in the locality of their cid
homes.
Still, it appears some have been the
victims of unscrupulous spectators, as
nearly all are Of the wandering peddlers,
and as they were of the Radical politi
clans during and Immediately after the
war. Every one remembers how these
good-natured, confding and simple pec-
Pile were humbugged by the Radicals
promising them mule and forty acres
of land each. 1t seems the Kansas spec
ulators have been practicing like de-
ception. The Kansas City Times, of the
9th, says large number of colored emf
grants from Mississippi came the day
before. They were Of the genuine old
plantation kind, and full Of belief of the
various stories that had been told them
before leaving home. After all their
baggage had been unloaded and piled
away, one of the party stepped over to
the Kansas Pacific land Office, and thus
addressed one of the officials: "Say, boss,
whar do dey get dem 5000 and dat 16O
acres ofland. Pse come all de way from
ole Mississippi wild de ole woman and de
picaninnies to get dat, and dey do tell
me ober dar pointing to the Union De-
potl de Gobenor CD dis Stste am a COL
lord gentleman; is dat so boss?" Frank
Crane told him there must be some mis-
take, as at present they were not giving
away any money or land. The honest
darkey'scountenance fell several feet, and
he left, stating che would leave de ole
woman here and see dat Gobenor," and,
purchasing ticket for Topeka, he left
on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
train for that point.
In all probability some loud mouthed
Radicals, who are in the habit of vocifer-
ating about negro rights, are ct the bot
tom of this swindle. In time the colored
people will learn who are their best
friends.-Ne0 York Star.
