THE WRONG MAN.

On Saturday last, a stranger arrived here
who registered at the Kings Mountain Hotel
as S. ]. McEnoy, Seneca City. He answered
very cleverly the description Of Edwards, the
escaped murderer from Union county, for
whose apprehension a large reward is offered
Those who were on the alert for the refugee
from justice, closely watched. the actions of
Mr.. McElroy, every movement be made only
confirming their suspicious, and they came
to regard him quite too dangerous charac-
ter to be at large But finally, when the sub
ject was delicately mentioned to him, and ne
was requested to show the scar over one eye
which he 80 deftly concealed with his hat, he
lifted that article Of head-gear, and like the
strawberry mark on the arm of Box, it wasn't

man, engaged in legitimate business, and

DENTAL NOTICES.

The attention of those requiring the services
of a dentist is directed to the respective no.
tices, in our advertising columns, of Doctors
Patrick and Glenn. These gentlemen visit
Yorkville regularly, and are well known to our
people.
By the way, an error, made by the writer
himself, occurred in the advertisement of DR..
Patrick, announcing his present visit to this
place, published last week and week before.
He will not be here at the time stated in that
notice. He intended to say that he would be
here on the 18th of June, instant.

repeating the test oath, the points ralseu pe'
ing substantially those discussed on the Ba-
yard bill, lately passed, containing the same
provisions. Wallace, having charge of the
bill, said he did not wish to force long ses-
sion and suggested that the vote be taken at
o'clock Monday. Conkling opposed the
naming of any hour for closing the debate.
There was no disposition to talk for the pur-
pose of delay, but the debate should not be
limited. The debate on the jury clauses was
renewed. The Democratic argument was that
while the present law provides that jurors in
United States courts are to be chosen, as far
as practicable, in the same manner as in the
highest courts of States, Federal judges take
advantage of the exception, as far as practi-
cable, to make the rules of the court on the
subject to suit their own views, and Judge
Bond was especially spoken Of as one who in
variably chose Republican jury commission
ers under his rule of court. The other side
argued that any abuse of the discretion vest
ed in them exposed the judges to impeach-
ment At SO the Senate adjourned.
In the House, the morning hour was con-
sumed in voting upon dilatory motions, and
the bill relative to political contributions went
over without action. Buckner, chairman of
the banking and currency committee, report
ed bill requiring reserve of the national
banking association to be kept in standard
gold and silver coins of the United States in
lieu of lawful money. Printed and recon-
mitted. The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of the pleuro-pnuemonia bill. The
bill was recommitted to the committee on ag-
riculture. Herbert, of Alabama, who had
charge of the next business in order, the Sen
ate bill repeating the test oath, stated that
after conversation with certain Republican
members, he would not press vote on it to-.
day, but hoped to obtain vote on Monday.
The Senate amendments to the supplemental
post route bill were concurred in. Young, of
Ohio, asked leave to offer 3 resolution for the
appointment of select committee to inquire
into the cause and effect of the recent exodus
from Southern to Western States. Goode, of
Virginia, objected on the ground that COM
mittee had that subject under consideration.

Justice PR1SDvuLE, of the South Side,
fails to understand how poo1-room is to
be considered as common gaming house,
and, consequently, when the keepers of the
notorious resorts along what is commonly
termed Gamblers Alley" we're brought
up for punishment yesterday, he discharged
them from custody. Not even fine was
levied. It is quite difficult to understand
how decision Of this kind can be made
in face of the statute, which is
as plain AZ simple words can make it.

return to their tricks and gather in the dol
lars as they have been in the habit Of doing,
aud there Will be found large class Of peo-
PIE ready to encourage the gambling con-
Germs. Would it be satisfactory to the ele-
CANT young gentlemen and old gentlemen
who frequent these places, and who are con-
tracing habits that may ultimately lead them
to ruin, to have their names published in the
morning papers,-just as interesting per-
sonal information? It would, no doubt, be
interesting to their friends, their employers,
and their families. Suppose it be tried for

Der of negro pilgrims from that State have
drifted into Washington, and tell substan-
TALLY the same story that their brethren of
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee told
on their way to the Ito them) land Of

their labor, contracts are broken, and there
is no certainty of compensation in anything

and who report that they had great difficulty
in getting away when the object Of their de-
parture became known, say that there are

Adoption Of wider Ragon-hTes- Ine average
width Of the tires of trucks and heavy
vehicles is not more than two or two and
half inches. A heavy wagon and its load
aggrogating several tons, bearing down upon
such tirs is nearly akin to striking
wooden pavement with broadax 1t taxes
the power of resistance inherent IN the wood
beyond all reason. It is safe to say that #
the tire Of the vagon-wheel were four inches
wide instead Of two the wooden: blocks
would have four times as much resistance as
now; if the tire were three times as wide as
it usually is the power Of resistance would be
nine times az great; that would bo the rate
of progression. A heavy iron roller, several
feet wide, could be dragged over the pave
ments without injury; indeed, it might i'm
prove them by packing them solidly. A huge
sharp AZ brought down upon the wood with the
force equal to several tons weight would
split it open. The very same principles OBJ:
tain in the case Of wagon-wheels; the mar
row tire cuts into the wood, displaces the
blocks, and breaks up the pavement, while
the broad tire would distribute the blow.
It is the business of the City Government to
enforce change in the width Of wagon
tiros. The city could better afford to as
sume the entire cost of making the change
than to permit tho present irrational system
to prevail. The adoption Of wide tires can best
be accomplished, however, by graded system
of licenses, clearly within the Jurisdiction of
the city, which shall tax the uarrow-tired
wagons heavily, and encourage broad tires
by lowering the license-fee in inverse pro-
portion to the width of the tires. Tho cost
Of making tho changes will be Insignificant
in each individual case, aud tho owners of
business wagons will find full compensation
within ayear in the resultant saving Of the
street-payemcnts and facilitating Of traffic.

The West Chicago Assessor hss gotten far
enough along With the footings of his re-
turns to show that the total valuation
of the rea1 estate Of that portion OF
the city, as compared with 1878, is about
$1,ss5, $40 less, while the personal property
has appreciated upwards of 100000. This
latter, it is asserted, is owing to the fact that
the Assessor has brought to the surface quite
3 largo amount Of 81 invisible personal prop
erty that has heretofore not been listed, in
Guiding bonds, stocks, money in mortgages,
Chamber Of Commerce stock. ETC., besides
vessel property, which latter has heretofore
gone upon the books of either the North or
the South Side. The estimated depreciation
in the assessment, compared with the pre-
yious year, will be about 81 600, 600.

Deplornb1e as the announcement is, it is
nevertheless made, that the yellow ferer in
Memphis has actually assumed an epidemic
form. It was stated at first that the cases
were sporadic, and it WAS thought that
the disease might be placed under
control by strict sanitary regulations.
But developing cases have dispelled
these hopes, and the city is naturally
in gloom over its unfortunate situation
Those who can get AWAY are making every
effort to reach the North, and are fearful
that the quarantine imposed at other points
may cut off their attempts to escape from the
destroying disease Louisville will enforce
the strictest regulations regarding the arrival
of refugees at that point from infected dis

Memphia- Theirs is strike there There
is suspension Of labor in that city. The
whole industrial population, men and
women, are out of work. They cannot live
in that city. If they remain there they
atarve, or die by fever. They must perish, or
seek homes and labor elsewhere. What wall
general strike in Chicago amount to If 1t
be attempted and persisted in? What viii BE-
the effect of stopping work BY 15,00o me-
chanics and persons in connecting employ
ments? What are the families of these
men to live upon in the interval between the
date Of the strike and the time when there
will be return to work? If there is to be
general strike, it is not to be supposed it is
merely for week OF a month, but that each
man who strikes abandons his employ
ment never to return to it. What
is to be tho effect Of this voluntary
abandonment Of employment and of wages,
md this high resolve Of permanent indie
pcndence of labor and of wages hereafter?
That the terms demanded by these men of
eight hours work for ten hours pay will ever
be granted can hardly be hoped for by those
among the workman who think ut all.
There may be concession for q few days or
weeks to few men, for special reasons, but
practically the demand is utterly hopeless
In making this strike these men must intend
to 60 back to work on the old terms after a
few weeks holiday, or they must intend to
mako the condition of Chicago as desolate as
is that of Memphis. There may be,no cpl
demic in Chicago but the want, the idle
ness, the destitution, the loss and wastage
from the suspension Of production, the etranH-
fer of manufacture and trade to other places,
the wholesale suspension of wages, and
the sickness, the distress, and mortality incl
dent to such q condition, will be here just as
strongly as in Memphis, but with
out the natural reason therefor. In
Memphis the calamity will be inevitable,
and one which no human energy Or effort can
avert or bring to close. In Chicago the
calamity will be sought for, directly procured,
and maintained-a wanton disturbance of in-
dustria1 employments and causeless arrayal
of employers against employed brought
about-under an insane delusion of improv-
ing labor by reducing production. Should
this strike in Chicago be general, then the
spectacle will ba presented of thousands of
le-bodied men, representing as many fam
lilies, all employed ut remunerative wages,
voluntarily suspendiug work, forcing the
abandonment of manufactures, and devoting
the season Of 1879 to beer-drinking picnics,
idle eprocessions, wasteful expenditure, and the
of the inevitable gate-money to
cheap orators. "
No such strike can be maintained It will
end in the discontinue and defeat of those
who attempt it; but in the meantime it will
exhibit how wantonly men may abuse their
own interests, how selfsh1y they will sacri-
fee the general interests, and how weakly,
and expensively they will per-
nit themselves to be fooled, deluded,' led,
and plundered BY the self-constituted oracles
who urge them to the insane policy of earn
ing as little wages as possible.

It. and to lead the people who are Influenced by II
into region where religion viii! be impossible o.
regarded Is unnecessary. This Is one OF the mos
important smoug the unlavorable tendencies OF The
age. It has made preaching more interesting and
attractive to the masaes but this has bosn Accom-
plishsd BY sacrificing nuch that il esssadal IN
religion itzelf."
This particular tendency, there is reason
to believe, is rapidly passing away. Ths
very intellectually which was too much
deprecated in the preceding criticism is
bringing down these sensational pulpit
orators to their proper level of charlatanism.
Such preachers bo1ong to class that cannot
long survive the present marvellous develop
ment of the mind. They may still do some
thing to degrade the pulpit, to turn thinking
people away from the Church, to demoralize
the religious masses, and TO increase the
fippancy with which religious topics are so
often treated; but the time is not far distant
when their preaching will find no coun-
tenance from intelligent people, and then it
will die of inanition.
Some of the minor criticisms are peril
nent. The injudicious use and tiresome
iternton Of scriptural terms and phrases are
characteristic rather Of the old than the new
style Of preaching; but it is true that there
is still too much stress laid upon mere repe-
tition OF Biblical figures and texts that are
obscure in themselves and lack the impor-
lance which many preachers attach to them.
So, too, the practice Of pastoral visits may
be fairly regarded as hindrance rather than
help to pulpit teachings. The minister Of
native power who cultivates solitude, study,
and reflection is more apt to WELD a decided
pupit influence than he who n1ingles freely
with his congregation in social way and
becomes commonplace to his hearers but
the intellectual drift of the pulpit has
tendency to romoye the social hindrances
to the power Of the ministry. The final
conclusion Of the atlantic article, however,
is the most correct, VIZ: that" the preach
ing of the time in this country is as good as
the people are willing to hear" If certain
class Of preachers have abandoned the old
style of invocation and erhortation Tor mere
sensational oratory, the change has been for
the worse, but it has been in response to q
certain popular demand. The hope is that
tho intellectual tendency of tho modern pull
pit, which is likewise the outgrowth of
higher order of popular sentiment, will
counteract this influence and finally destroy
the market for the sensational preaching.
It is not probable that the emotional indu-
onces of the pulpit will ever be revived
outside Of certain primitive communities
but there will be q different kind Of rapport
between preachers and their congregations,
based upon intellectual harmony, and per-
haps upon a utilitarian view Of morality that
will give the pulpit as broad and valuable
an influence as it has ever had

Before 1889, the religious orders owned one
third OF the real estate Ia France. The educA-
tion OF the young WAS their exclusive preroe2-
tive,-lost with the others at the Revolution.
NAPOLEON l., looking upon religion "a an en-
gine OF government, which, If abolished, would
oblige him to double the number Of his gen.
darnaes. restored some OF their anciept rights,
but not that Of secular education, nor Of dab
bling in political intrigue. The Restoration
encouraged them to try to regain what
they had lost. LOUIS XVIII, a skeptic, knew
HORACE better than his breviary. He re-
sisted, but the clergy controlled the mind
OF the bigot Count D'ARro1s, afterwards
CHARLES <, and through him, at last, bis able
but indolent brother. Under CHARLES the
clergy had things pretty much their own way;
controlled primary and collegiate education.
