Argument of tho sprecher- -SensonIs lntunc-
tiOn. .
In chambers this morning, before Judge
Patterson, came up the hearing of argu-
ment in tho case of the preliminary in
junction granted on application of Lewis
Sprecher to restrain Levi Sensenig from
erecting 4 certain sliding gate and high
fence on the line separating his property
from that Of said Sprechcr and shutting
out air and light from Sammy GrOff's
European hotel.
Counsel for Mr.. Sprecher asked for a
postponemcnt of the case until tomorrow,
desired to employ E. II. Yundt, esq.,, as
additional counsel, and he was not at pres
ent in the city. Counsel for Mr.. Sensenig
resisted postponement on the ground that
the plaintiff had no right to it that having
asked for an injunction it is presumed d
that he is prepared to proceed forth
with, and that tho five days time
given for tho Eelripg of argument are
given solely in the interest of the defend
ant who may be taken by surprise by the
Injunction and is entitled to five days time
to prepare his defense but that if he is
ready for an immediate hearing rs in this
case he is entitled to it.

TO-day's Excursions.
The rival excursions this morning over
the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads to
Ocean Grove we're both pretty well pat
ronized. By the way of Reading twenty
one tickets were sold at the Lancaster
Office and by way of the Pennsylvania
road fifty tickets. There is a good deal of
growing at the way the Pennsylvania
railroad company treated their excursion
lists. They advertised extensively that
tickets for the round trip would bo sold
at s3.75-just oneillalf the usual fare,
but they only issued fifty tickets
and all passengers in excess of that num-
Der had to pay full fare. We are informed
by tho p. r. II. officials that it is their
custom to send only limited number of
tickets to the agents at the several sta
tions but why this should be thus is not
explained, and to advertise an excursion
generally, and thus deceive its patrons, is
q contemplate fraud. ...:
There were twenty.one tickets sold this
for the excursion from Lancaster

W. U. HENsEI., ESQ.
MY DEAR SIR Many thanks for the
copy OF the INTELLIGENCER containing
Judge Blacks reply to Ingersoll. read
it with much interest and pleasure. 1t is
excellent, conceived in good spirit, vigorous
and convincing, yet taken as whole not as
fresh and forcible as l anticipated. BE.
sides it has several weak places which ex-
pose the whole article to some danger. !
shall refer to but one topic, his answer
to Ingersoll on persecution by the church.
The notion that hypocrites and bad men
only were prosecutors is utterly gratuitous.
The best men Of every ago since Augustine
down have held tho principle that error
could be overcome by the sword, and that
the Prince was bound to use the sword in
the service Of truth. If he failed to use
the power that God had given him against
heresy he became particeps criminis. On
the basis of this false ethical principle
you can easily see that the more con-
scientious tho Prince was and the
more Jealous the church, the more power
fully would both church and state
be moved to uso the sword in putting
down error. Governed by this false prin-
ciple the authorities could destroy heresy
by putting errorists to death just as de-
voutly as our civil authorities can, if need
be, put down riot or insurrection at the
point of the bayonet. 1t is only within
the last century that Christian ethics has
advanced to the position that spiritual
error can be overcome only with spiritual
weapons, and all false theories only by the
power of truth. Judge Black overlooks
the history of the question. If Ingersoll
has knowledge and logic enough he will
be able to use his lance with good effect.

THE following criticism of Judge

letter we take the liberty to make it pub

great interest and is an interesting contri-

SAN JOSEPHs contributes another and
still more interesting letter from Lon
don to the Philadelphia Times. He al
together distances Rev. DR.. Tiftany's
correspondence from abroad to the same
enterprising journal, and if he keeps on
a popular suspicion will get abroad that
such able letters as Josephs' could not be
written anywhere outside of the Times
Office except at Cresson.

Why should it be-? What possible in

ters 1t to them whether the State pays six
or no per cent at ali on its debt? They

ing then.
| Doubtless, it is true that these nom
Taxpayers would range themselves I'M
der the Malone banner; but not be-
cause they have any interest in, or any
concern about reimbursement.
What these people want is the power
to fill the offices and to impose the tsxes
on the honest laborers, the industrious
mechanics, the thrifty farmers-in a
word, upon the property owners and
Taxpayers of the State, who desire to
retain this restriction as q partial pro-
lection to the property they have accu-
mulated by their labor and good man
agement.
The Wing boasts that the Mahoneties
''could easily sweep the State If the bal
lot were Free" the meaning of which
is-that if the ranks of its party could
be reinforced by the horde Of Tidewater
and SOuthside negroes, whose children
sre now being sent to the public schools
at the expense of the Taxpayers of the
State-a large excess being drawn from
the Valley counties that the Malone
party, composed Of three parts white
and seven parts black, would control
the State government and impose the
taxes.
This is the only danger the honest
and industrious people Of the State have
to fear and it is q danger; for 80 sure
as the sun is In the heavens, so sure will
there be. here in Virginia, q repetition
of the robbery, plumber and outrage
which well nigh brought the taxpayers
of the other Southern States to irretriev
able ruin, should this Malone party
ever succeed In sweeping the State by
the repeal of the present wise and whole
some restriction upon the suffrage.

believes that there is any danger to the
property interests of the State from con-
continuing Its government In the
hands of the Conservative Democratic |
party-and why? Because this party |
Is composed, in the main, of the
