ERROR IN DOCTRINES.
Rev. j. R Hodges "Churched" at Ennis on
Heresy Charge.
Special to the Gazette.

Heresy Charge
Special to the Gazette.
ENNIS, TEY., March 10-Rev. ]. R.
Hodges is serving his second year as pas
tor of the Ennis Baptist church. Originally
he was a Cumberland Presbyterian. He is
a native Texan, graduate of Trinity uni
versity. Tehuacana, Tex, and Of the Fheo-
logical seminary of Cumberland university
at Lebanon, Tenn. He became a Cumber-
land Presbyterian minister. hrst at Waco
and later at Cleburne. In December 1880,
he Joined the Baptist church at Waxaha-
chic, and was Immediately ordained and
called to the pastorate of the Ennis church.
In March, 1891, he contributed to the Texas
Baptist and Herald, an article headed "a
Wanderers Return, " wherein he outlined
the incidents which had led to his
becoming a Baptist. In that article
he placed salvation on the resurrection side
of the cross, insisting upon personal faith
in risen, personal, present Christ. Where
with he meant to teach salvation in living
Christ, possible to all men aud certain to
those who believe. This was construed as
a denial of the vicarious atonement of
Christ; and upon that construction charges
of heresy were preferred against Mr..
Hodges on February 10 last. An investiga-
ton was held on the oath, with adjourn
ment to last Wednesday, when they were
dismissed.
Mr. Hodges is well educated and very
pleasing man, his spirit is progressive and
has both talent and tact. Opposed to him
is hidebouud orthodoxy, though harmony in
the congregation ohas happily for the mo-
ment been preserved. The two opposing
currents of thought will probably again
clash, and the question will arise whether
the congregational form of church govern
ment, peculiar to the Baptists, leaves to
every congregation the choice of its creed.

ELECTION LAWS.

In my previous message made certain
recommendation relative to the election
laws, in the interest of an absolutely fair
and free ballot and in opposition to the
then existing system of numbering bal
lots, and to the provisions of the law OF
1889 which had been construed to abridge
the liberty of the citizen to vote for such
candidates as he chose, by the use of
"pasterS," | then SAID; THE funda-
mental idea of an election is that every
legal voter shall have the right to cast.
freely and without intimidation. one vote
for the candidates of his choice, and have
that vote honestly counted. Whatever
tends TO carry out that idea is good, what
ever opposes it or makes its execution
difficult, is bad. In order that the vote
may be free and without intimidation, it
must be secret. The provisions of our
old law for the numbering of ballots
prevents secrecy, and should have been
repealed long since.
The provision of the law Of 1889. which
makes it illegal to print any ticket not
nominated in a regular convention,
strikes directlyat the freedom of elections.
Its only effect would be to bring about
the election of bad men because they had
secured party nomination, and to make
the people the slaves of the caucus. The
independent voter is the regulator in
elections, His existence forces parties
to make good nominations and avoid bad
ones, if they would succeed To prevent
his freedom of action is to leave the
manipulators of conventions supreme
ali linn, l,,g. ,,,hn l.
vote for the persons whom he prefers,
and to endeavor by proper means to in
duce others to do the same. The paper
ballot is but the instrument used to ex-
press his opinion. Any restriction on
the right to print ballots containing such
names as anyone prefers is an attack on
this right of the citizen. The law may
properly require uniformity of size and
outward appearance in order to prevent
identification of a ballot and preserve its
secrecy; and may prevent deception by
providing the use of party emblem.
But to go further than that is not for the
public benefit aud infringes the right of
the individual. To say that man can
not print his own ballot as he chooses,
or substitute names theron with ink, or
pencil, or printing or otherwise, is to
abridge his rights as a voter"
In accordance with these suggestions
the legislature passed chapter s. of the
laws of 1891, which was designed to obvi-
ate the objections abeye referred to. But
although the intention was well known,
yet the act does not, in terms, repeal the
previous law regarding the numbering of
ballots, neither does it distinctly author
