Episcopal Services.

Last Saturday night, Sunday
morning, md again at night, the
regular evening and morning SER
vices of the Protestant Episcopal
Church were conducted in this
place by the Rov. P. A. johnson,
Il minister engaged IN mission
work in this State. But few at
tended the services Saturday night,
but the services Sunday morning,
at the reading rooms, were well at
tended by our people generally.
The sublime liturgy and pathetic
Litany of this venerable Church,
in whose bosom John Wesley
lived and died, were listened to
with the deepest interest, and
many even, who were not mem
bcrs of the Church, engaged in
the worship, and went through the
responses. Mr.. johnson, the min
lister, expressed his surprise and
qualification to find the communi-
oants of the Church so many in
number, and so earnest in the faith
after having been apparently so
long neglected. The choir added
greatly to the beauty and impress
iveEess of the services, and we
doubt If even in tho cities an
Episcopal congregation could have
been treated to higher order Of
church music. Arrangements are
being made to have services here
regularly after this, and they can
not help but be of benefit. not
only to the members of this c hurch,
but to our entire community.

The TINES advocates sober men
for office. Is this a strange and
startling position No, it is but
the printed echo of the cry of the
people all over the State; it is but
the published proclamation of the
thinking, sovereign people OF Ar
kansas 1t Is the grand principle OF
the year 1880; the harbingcr of a
real and genuine era OF peace and
prosperity. On our present plat
form, the circulation of the TINES
has been increased from one hun
drcd and fifty to five hundred
copies weekly, and we expect 1t to
be thousand before the end of the
year. We have built house on this
principle, and are no longer a pau
per. We mean buusess. We may
truthfully add, IN all humility OF
heart, that the editorial matter of
this paper is copied INTO other pa
pers, approved and circulated far
and wide, and hence we knolc that
we are in communion with the
earnest feelings Of the people. We
have in our own person, expe-
ricnced all the evils of intempcr-
ancc, and in the last few years, all
the good of temperance, and God
being our helper, the TINES shall
henceforth be the humble organ of
temperance and education. We
are sick of whisky and filthy OBJ
scenlty, and when we think of the
future, we know our freedom as a
people will be safe only in the
hands OF sober and educated free
men.

THE official acts and conduct OF
an officer are open to the freest
comment and discussion and any
officer who is afraid to have his
acts and conduct inquired INTO and
approved or disapproved, is unfit
10 be an officer. 1t is the consti-
intional right of the masters to ex-
press their views OF the conduct OF
their servants. To attempt to pre-
vent 1t by cursing, threatening or
bull.doging is crime, and indicta-
bic and punishable. EVen Missis-
sippl County is a part of a free
country, and her people are free
men, who know their rights, and
knowing, dare maintain them. We
are opposed TO deiamlng and SIAN
dering, for that too is a crime; but
criticism of the acts and conduct OF
public servant is the right OF the
people.

IS CHINA WAKING UP?


A Washington dispatch says the Chi
nese Minister has informed the Secretary
of State that the Emperor of China has
removed all restrictions upon the particl-
patton of Chinese merchants in foreign
commerce, and that henceforward they
will endeavor to take their share in the
trade of the world. The significance of
this change of policy is somewhat lessened
by the statement that it was caused by the
discovery that Chinese capital has in fact
been for some time engaged in foreign
commerce, under the convenient screen of
American and European firms, but it is
none the less likely to exercise marked
influence upon American and European
trade with China. The removal of these
restrictions will enable the Chinese mer-
chants to conduct their foreign trade them
selves, and as they are extremely enter
prising, shrewd, and possessed of large
capital, it would not surprise US if in a
short time they monopolized the bulk of
the commerce in their own ports. What
effect the new policy is destined
to have upon the negotiations be-
tween the Commission which has
just reached Shanghae, and the
Chinese Government, remains to be seen,
but in the absence of fuller explanations
it would seem to threaten the creation of
fresh difficulties in some respects. Should
our merchants in China discover that they
are being ousted by the native capitalists,
it is indeed possible that the commercial
influences which have been SO potent in
checking all efforts to abrogate the Bur
lngame treaty may be removed. On the
other hand, the Chinese Government may
feel disposed to take more independent
position than heretofore, and il this is the
case it will not be likely to receive with
favor any propositions looking to a restric-
ton of trade and other facilities in re-
gard to its subjects abroad. China awake
and free to follow her commercial bent is,
however, a formidable object. There is
no nation on the earth more fitted for COM
mercial enterprises, and she would unques-
tionably bring an element OF vigorous
competition into the field, to meet which
it is extremely questionable whether the
Western people are nrran:a.r.ed

A eREENBAcKER IN ALABAMA.

A Graenbacker who undertook to stump
Alabama for his party gives an interesting
account of the treatment he experienced at
place called Shubuda. The people of
that town did not leave him long in doubt
as to their sentiments. They hooted him
in the streets, and then they sent him a
note requiring him to leave the place in
thirty-fve minutes. The Greenbacker
made vain effort to reason with the
spokesman of " The Boys of Shubuda, F."
but was simply answered, eve know you,
" and you can't stay. You must go to the
=" next station" He was finally told that
he had better get along. or he would
catch h-ll," and, concluding discretion
to be the better part of valor, he shook the
dust of Shubuda from his feet and de-
parted No doubt " the Boys of Shubuda"
thought they had done rather smart
thing in driving this man out of their town.
In reality what they did was to make it
clear that they had learned nothing since
the time when their fathers were wont to
treat an Abolitionist even worse than they
treated the Greenbacker. They have been
reared in an atmosphere of intolerance
which is fatal to freedom. They have none
OF the mental habits or traditions of Ameri-
course is to silence opposition by violence,
and they have no idea of dealing with
adverse opinions in any other way.
1t is evident that this tone of mind belongs
to a very distant epoch of civilization.
Even when our Teutonic ancestors assem-
bled in the forests and clearings of the
German fatherland, and signifed approval
of the sentiments of their orators by
clashing their spears and shields together,
higher ideal of liberty had been devel-
oped than is to be found to-day in most
parts of the South One of the first les
sons learned by barbarians who are making
advances is the necessity of federation
No government Of popular character is
possible without this convention. Men
must have learned to endure denial OF
their favorite beliefs before they can be
fitted for self-government Whenever a
community is intolerant, whenever it re.
fuses to allow free speech, it is either an
aborted civilization, or declining one.
The capacity for government requires
the ability to reason, and to defer to
reason. When this is wanting there may
be energy, but there cannot be solid growth
of any profitable kind. The Southern
method of sitting discussion is really the
most serious indictment that can be brought
against the people of that section, for it
involves challenge of their right to
pretend that they are fit to govern them
selves
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-08-16

ing. Whether this will have the effect of
breaking up the expedition remains
to be seen, but it has been palmer every
day that the Powers generally are very
jealous of one another, and that their in
terests and suspicious are such as to render
concerted action between them almost i'm
possible. just now there is growing dis
position to leave England in the lurch, she
having proposed the naval demonstration.
Her Government, however, is determined
to act with due caution, for the movements
OF Russia and Austria are not satisfactory,
and it seems possible that there is press
ing desire on their part to make cats
paw of their insular neighbor. France
has evidently made up her mind not to be
caught in any trap. Rather than allow
herself to be used she will retire
from the field altogether, and leave the
other Powers to make their own ar.
rangements. Meantime Russia appears to
be paving the way for Bulgarian revolu-
ton, which by threatening the entire dis
ruption of the remaining fragments OF che
Ottoman Empire in Europe may involve
both Austria ard England in very serious
difficulties Russia is believed to be back
ing the Bulgarians, and she has already
placed an army corps on the frontier
within striking distance. Austria is fully
alive to the gravity of the situation, and is
massing troops. Germany is supposed to
be in full accord with Austria, and this
makes the Cars programme both difficult
and dangerous. He is represented to have
recently sounded the French Government
with view to possible alliance, and it is
said that this experiment failed signally.
Altogether it is evident that the materials
for grave complications between the Euro
pean Powers are peculiarly abundant, and
that the decay of the Ottoman Empire
may generate discords capable of produc-
ing formidable quarrels, and perhaps san
oniparv wars
