The Rev. d. G. Kelly, of Nashville.
has, we fear, taken a position that
must subject him to church discipline
if not to expulsion. In a lecture de-
livered last night upon the Ingersoll-
Field controversy he gave utterance to
sentiments that are at war with the
tenels and doctrines of the Methodist
Church, of which hitherto he has been
minister in good standing. He took
the broadest possible ground in regard
to religious belief, and expressed a
grateful sense of appreciation OF the
fact that the time had come when q
man could believe whatever his reason
dictated without fear Of personal con-
sequences. With his recent contrU.
yersv with some Of the dignitaries of
his Church in regard to his position
upon the theatre before us, this seems
to have a personal application indica-
tive of determination on his part to
he IL law unto himself. For a man
who has seen as many years In the
ministry as be has, the recantation Of
faith is, to say the least, doubtful
experiment No one in ten Of all who
have tried it have ever succeeded in
accomplishing anything but their un.
doing Memphis appeal.

Judging from the responses thus

warmly greeted and heartily endorsed
by large majority of our Democratic
readers. Governor Taylor is evident
ly growing stronger every day. "The
sober, second thought" of the people
is beginning to tell, and sense OF
Justice to the Governor suggests an
other term. The "bone and sinew" OF
the party, seeing the situation, recog-
nizes the Importance of adhering to
the old landmarks, one of which is TO
give a Governor at least two terms,
that he may have ample opportunity
Of developing his executive ability.

And built little tariff pen
To keep it safe, You know.
But Roger Mills he came along,
An ugly boy was he,
And smashed the little tariff pen
To let the lamb 60 free.
And in the night an English wolf
As silent as clam,
Come proving round the broken pen
And killed the little lamb.
Then Mary wept, but hopeful said:
"ll have free wool at least"
And SO you shall" said Roger Mills;
SO said the ugly beast,
Butwhen she went To get the fleece
The wolf was sitting on il;
Come on said he, and get your wool;

And roundly did she pay,
