The Direct Tar.

The correspondent at this place to the
Wheeling Register states that in a CONVEX
sation with Senator Faulkner he informed
him that it was his purpose, at the opening
Of the next Congress, to introduce a joint
resolution directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to psy the Governor Of the State
Of West Virginia $4,000 of direct tax APP
propriated by the last Congress. He said
he had read the argument Of the Attorney
General and Of Ex-Governor Wilson, and
had fully examined the question involved,
and he could see no pretext whatever for
the position the Government had taken in
Withholding said funds
He referred to the fact that this identical
question had once before been decided by
the Treasury Department, when McCulloch
was Secretary, and that his letter declining
to hold that the government could set of
its Nobility to West Virginia, by Yirginia's IL
ability 70 the government was conclusive
and the reasoning irresistible. He further
said that he had no doubt but that Congress
would pass such a joint resolution.-Nar-

DELAYS are Dangerous.

The benefits acoruingto poor men from
carrying life insurance have recently had
at least two striking exempliaeations In
this county in the deaths of Messrs. De.
Witt G. Holcomb and 8. B. Brownlee.
Each of these two had only paid an annual
premium and settlements we're promptly
made as soon as the necessary papers were
made out. .Brownlee and Holcomb were
both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of
Newark, N. j., which ia represented in the
Fork by G.. n. G. Boleman, and in this
city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the
strongest and most reliable companies, be-
ing in its 46th year of existence and hav-
ing 80 milliona Of assets. IT deserves
special mention for its prompt settlements,
having adjusted Mr.. Holcomb's claim
within ten days from the time proof was
made.
''Delays are pangeroqs."-Every one
should promptly attend to this important
matter and thereby protect their wives and
children, in case of death. from the dread
full Inconvenience of poverty. Look out

oh! for q Little Charity.

EDITORS OF INTELLIeENcER: AS MIR. T.
T. Wakefield has thought proper to reply
to the communication in last weeks issue
of your paper signed, "a Member at Leb-
anon" and his memory of what took place
seems very treacherous, desire to state
some facts that things may appear to the
public as they really were, and not as they
appear in fanciful Imagination. Now, the
Church and pastor did not ask Mr.. T. T.
Wakefield to appear in their behalf in this
controversy sin vindicatton Of the false
stateme'.ts and gross misrepresentation that
seemed to be quite generally believed" or for
any other purpose. 1t was Q self-imposed
duty. and how it was discharged must be
seen by all cognizant of the facts. He is
general, indiscriminate and wholesale in
his charges against members of the Church,
regardless Of age orseX, and as indefinite as
general, presenting nothing definite or tan
gible. Now. 7. T. W., If You knew that
did as they pleased with impunity, got
drunk, &c, what were you about? What
was your duty? Was 1t to exhort the
brother, and, II you fail6d to reclaim him,
to tell it to the Church, or to publish it to
the world through the public prints But,
you say, we had no rules and could do
nothing. Is 1t possible that you GOULD see
drunkenness and unchratian conduct as
detailed by you in your Church and could
not deal with it because you had no rules |!
Shame shame Had you no new Testa-
ment, and when you lost your rules had
you no regard for tue authority Of Jesus in
the New Testament? Does not Christ tell
you what to do with the drunkard, with
those who forsake the house of God, aud
with erring brethren7 ? Now, 7. r. W., you
depend moro upon your New Testament,
and leus upon written rules, and you will
not by general charges seek to injure and
pull down the Church, that which Christ
loved and for which he died.
Again, T. T. w. says we have class that
believes they have right to stay at home,
aHd havp nothing else to do but to grum-
BILE and say things that neYer happened
about the Church=that he does not know
whether or not "a Member at Lebanon"
belongs to that class or not, but that be is
inclined to believe he does o! for little
charity which covers multitude Of sins.
Now, T. T. w., tell US, with your Now
Testament in your hand, which Is tho
worse. to stay st homa and grumhla, or to
60 to Church, and then 90 home and grum-
ble in the community and through the
PUBLIC press Be your own Judge.
ln coneluslon, wish 10 say to 7. T. W.
that if he has done the gross injustice 70

which he did to "a Member at Lebanon,

A Voice From the Kingdom.

It has been long time, Mr.. Editor,
since the echoes Of the "Kingdom" have

transpirings are various, and might be in.
teresting to at least portion Of your
readers. So here they come. We are not
as formerly, fright side up" we are lit
tie squawed, but not more so than our
neighboring communities. It is useless to
tell you that we have had good deal of
weather this spring, and that it has not
been the kind of weather 1t would have
been if we Kingdomites had had the max
ing of it. There is universal cry of bad
stands Of cotton, the worst perhaps that
has ever been since that fellow struck
"Billy Patterson" The depression among
farmers is proverbial and alarming. The
wheat and oat crop in places is good. NJ.
A. Casey wears the belt in that respect. I,
however, learn that s. M. Smith will dis.

wheat, so has VIM. 9. Martin-in short,
the wheat crop is good.

ness in our section, but no fatal cases.

expected to live. She is reported as being
very low.
T. D. Gaillard, who had set in to work
with Dock Watson at the black-smithing
business, got mad at Dock and turned him
off. George Hopkins served Mart Casey
the same. way. Both Gaillard and Hop.
kins are now working at Capt. VIM. Wat

that they may kick out of the harness
