Reuicp deyotes liberal share of its space to
a polemical duel between Col. Ingesoll, the
great exponent of the unbelief of the day
and Judge jeremiah S. Black, the eminent
iurist Col. Ingersol is master of some OF
the most effective arts of the rhetorician and
the popular orator As an assailant of re-
vealed religion he has more chance of success
in confrmingthe skeptical and carrying away
the wavering than perhaps any other infdel
of modern times. He is engaged in constant
aggressive attack, and the audiences which
applaud him afford evidence that he is pro-
ducing effect Judge Black is distinguished
alike for his steadfast faith in orthodox
Christianity and for the power and skill with
which he is able to sustain any cause in which
his convictions are enlisted He is, like the
challenger, man of the world in his serious
occupations and modes of thought He is
accustomed to contests in the arena of public
discussion and to the use of all the weapons
of controversy by which men are convinced
he is familiar with the argument that have
been used by the defenders of his cause, and
he has the nerve and vigor of born disputant
Col Ingcrsoll has made his attack in the Re
Uie,o and sustained it with all his force as an
aggressive assailant Judge Black has taken
up the challenge as the champion of Chris
tianity. 1t is well that the daring infidel
should be called out and that he should be
met by such an antagonist The cause of
truth can have nothing 10 fear from contest
of this kind OF the merits of the battle il is

SAW-LoG SALVAGE.
The Acts of Assembly Governing the
Matter.

The Harrisburg Patriot, of the sth instant,
has the following in regard to the salvage on
escaped logs: During the late heavy freshet
the boom Mt Williamsport broke and thou
sands of logs went adrift, many of which
were caught by individuals living along the
river, or stranded on the islands and rocks
on their way downward. The law of 1912
provided that compensation of six cents be
allowed for each log so captured or found
lying an ones property A supplement 10
this law was passed in 1855, which provides
that when n sufficient number of logs were
not caught TO adequately compensate for the
time and trouble, reasonable amount should
be paid equal to what would have been earned
by ordinary labor But twas discovered that
during the period of high water the owners
of logs sent them adrlt above, TO be caught
again in the State of Maryland where they
were manufactured into the various kinds of
of lumber, thus depriying the people of Penn
sylvania of the manufacturing lumber trade.
To prevent this law was passed in 1866,
prohibiting loose logs to be transported on
the Susquehanna and its tributaries, and that
all loose logs should be bound together and
placed under the control of some person, and
that all persons catching logs were to be paid
fifty cents for each by the owner thereof
But there was a proviso attached to the act
That This act shall not apply to saw-logs now
lying in the stream, nor to any case in which,
by reason of high water, or ffom any casualty,
said saw-logs may be swept ont of the West
Branch and Susquehanna boomsi 1t follows
then that US to all logs sent adrilt by inter
ested parties, for the purpose of sending
them to market out Of the State, which are
caught on their downward way, the persons
securing the same are entitled TO fifty cents
for each one that all logs which by accident,
such as the breaking of q boom or otherwise,
go adrift, are 10 be paid for according to the
law of 1912, which is six cents apiece, where
a number are held, or when sufficient
quantity has not been obtained to pay for the
time occupied in catching them a reasonable
compensation is to be allowed those who bring
them ashore
