Washington Post: The Rev. Dr. Mayo says: "There was never a greater delusion than the idea that all intelligent republican party can be formed in a state like South Car olina, out of the mass of negro voters and the black and white leaders that now have them in training" And yet the Federal Administration has followed Malone straight into the snares of just such q delusion in Virginia, and is cOncertIng its plans and distributing its patronage to de- Jude tue whole South in the same way. "Liberalizing" the South in the present acceptation of the term simply means the relegation of that section to the darkness and corrup- tion of the construction era.

For the Democrat.
To "LAYMAN."

NJ. Editor.
Twas very much interested in Lay
mans" article on the christian Religion"
In the DEMOCRAT OF February 18th, and |
quite agree with him In nearly all the
statemets therein made. 1t Is not neces-
sary 10 quote Clement 10 make one believe
that Peter and Paul were prosecuted by
the tyrant Nero, or Hermas TO prove that a
certain class OF Christians suffered death
for Christ's sake. Atheists, Pantheists
aud Inndels do not doubt these things.
They are not only possible but quite prob
able. Therefore they are quite easy to be-
lleve. When you say that Christ was
mana very good man who went preach
Ing and doing good, there Is no earthly
reas On for doubling ii. When you tell us
that he was prosecuted and even cruciAed
by his own people, we do not disbeleve It.
Nothing could be more natural or true TO
human nature. II Christ were to come to-
day he would be crucifed-by Intidels and
Atheists: No! BY Christians-the very
people who worship him and are looking
for his coming.
But YOU do not say Christ was man
born OF woman and that he went about
doing good, but you clothe him with mys-
tery-you say he was born of virgin who
conceived OF the Holy Ghost-that he lived
upon the earth about thirty years-was cru
cited dead and buried and came forth the
third day and assembled bodily to heaven,
where he is sitting on the right hand OF
God iuterceding for sinners. Now it were
easy 10 understand how the people on this
earth could believe such thing two thou
sand years ago, but would say candidly,
1t Is not easy for me, at least, TO see how
one can for moment entertain such an
idea, at the present day. 1t does not do
credit to the civilization OF the 10Th centu-
ry. All people, whether Atheist OF Chris
tian, Jew or Gentle, agree that the ideal
life Of Christ is most beautiful, but that
ever man was born and died under such
circumstances as he is said to have been,
they do not believe, and until different ar
guments are used they will probably con-
tinue in disbelief.
"Layman's last paper in the Demo-
Graf of May 9th, is the best ever read
from the pen OF anyone-either preacher or
layman-in Oxford county. Every Chris
tan in the State should read it. The more
Of such letters We have the better educated
are the people,-consequently the more
Atheists and Infdels.
l hope to hear from - Layman" every
week through your paper.

BETHEL, May 24th-Who will dispute
Vennors predictions after the late snow
storm! The common greeting is coolest
weather on record for the time OF year "
Last year, April goth, there was no snow.

Many persons are afflicted with severe
colds.
The saddest event OF the week was the
death OF our much respected friend, Mr..
Judson Stearns, after long and painful
illness. His age was about forty years,
and q man much esteemed In private life,
and his death is sadly mourued by large
circle OF friends. The funeral was held
last Thursday from the Second Congrea-
tional church, under the charge OF Rev.
Mr.. Garland. The deceased being a men,
Der OF the Masonic order, his remains were
taken in charge by the Bethel Lodge and
buried under their rites.
Last Saturday the remains of Miss Geor-
gle Stewart, OF Wateryille, formerly of
Bethel, were brought home, and buried
last Sabbath 2P. NJ. al Middle lnteryale
Cemetery. We are seldom called upon 10
record the death Of person so universally
esteemed and so universally lsmented a.
Miss Stewart. Rev. Mr.. Pease conducted
the services.
The only business that shows signs Of
much activity Is the physicians. and We
have two new members OF the profession
duly Installed and settled among us DR.

Boston Journal: ga few months hence
when Messrs. Ladd and Murch OF Maine
will be masquerading through Maine as
Greenbackers, 1t will be well to remind
Mr. Ladd that he voted with the Demo

he lodged. Both are Democrats Of the
Missouri type-that Is, Democrats with a
Greenback appendage.
THE New York Tribune cnaracterizes
as most dangerous and wicked form of

Argus adroitly uses the word corrupt"
and intimates that all funds raised by the
Republicans is corruptly expended. OF
course the Democrats do not raise any
funds by assessment upon their officials
Oh, no. But how has il been in this
county, where one tidal wave gave the
fusionists a few paltry Offices Were
they no, nearly bled to death. practically
forced to take stock in newspaper enter
prises, and otherwise assessed Ask
some of them who will tell you the truth
about the matter. But then the money
which happened to come into the hands
of the Democratic committees was not
used for corrupt purposes Oh, no .
The wicked and corrupt" Republicans
of this town, in late campaign, used
some of their funds to assist couple of
young men in getting home on election
day. As soon as they arrived, they were
offered ten dollars to vote the Democratic
ticket,
Thus it is, all political parties collect
funds which, when placed in bad hands,
are used for purposes which conscientious
men universally condemn. The remedy
does not lie in forbidding assessments nor
in hyPOcritically charging corruption up
on the opposing party, but in impartially
enforcing the laws against bribery.
