CoNKIING, Evarts, Blaine, Beecher
aud Republican orators who appeared
in the New York campaign, argued
that the triumph Of the ''solId South"
would be the overthrow of free speech
and free thought which are alleged to
DE unknown in the South. Now the
papers and speakers of Louisiana con-
cur in inviting these Radical orators
to visit Louisiana. "Come," say the
newspapers, "make your speeches
here. just such as you made in New
York city, and you will be as safe
here as there" The Democratic speak
ers propose to ''diyide- time" with
Blaine OF any representative Of + lsteIn
Rldicalism he may send South. He
shall have crest and patient audiences
everywhere. The truth is, Radical
partisan speech, such as is made north
of the Ohio, would be sheer nonsense
dowa South. Inter Ocean stories do to
tell 10 the marines but are accurately
measured and weighed where the
scenes of supposed tragedies and ont
RACES are located. BY all means let
BeecAer and Conkling, types Of North
ern social morAlists, come South And
deliver bloody shirt harrsngues. They
viii only be laughed st for inconceiv-
able credulity il honest, or despised for
their stupidity and maiiRnisy.

II seems that some one signing
''Uno" mas accepted your suggestion
to "wade in" and he is in. But he is
in on a new lino--in with sort OF
promiscuous attack upon Methodist
Church government, etc. His start
seemed to be in the direction of dis.
proof of what said about the Metho-
dist Church not having sought politi-
cal party or government aid in build
ing up her enterprises, but he offered
not one single sentence of proof going
to contradict my statement. When he
produces any thing in that line DR..
Sheppard will test its Q1alIty. For the
present have before me his statement
that "Df. Hawkes. said that church.
meu and Methodist sent In their re-
spectivc petitions for the continuance
of the establishment"-i. e. sent them
into the House of Delegates of Virginia
when she was colony. This is his
proof that the Methodist Church has
heretofore sought State or political
party aid in building UP its institutions.
Whatever may be true of the Baptist
Church government, W tn which we
nave in this discussion nothing what
ever TO do, this surely is i lptlst logic {:
"a bold assertion, followed by q refer
6 ice rat does not even seem to sup
port it,"
1t it be true that Methodists did as
they are said by this writer to have
done, they did it in the interest and
for the sole benefit of a church which
was not even friendly towards them,
but regarded and treated them as
schismstics, and hence they must have
acted from motives quite out of the
reach of all but baptist SUSPICION.
Had you not bitter advise "Uno" to
plunge in the next time be feels like
assailing his Methodist neighbors with
falee accusation What style may suit
him betteIi
am sorry Uno" is 80 grieved with
the Methodist church government.
What place, however, has this discus
sion of the government of the church
IN this connection And what has the
form of the church government--dem-
ocratIc or republican--to do with re-
ceiving State aid2 N, thing, certainly.
But if tbs p ptIst church government
is as represented every church an in
dependent republic. owing no allegi-
ance to any other power on earth-I
can very well see that the ibdepen-
dence resolutions settle nothing, be-
cause they are binding on nobody.
But, the question having been raised,
! take pleasure in counter-asserting
uue'o" assertion that the government
of the Methodist church 10, in no
sense, repu )licau, and this must be his
sufficient answer until he makes good
his assertion by showing wherein it is
