New Religious Sect.
Strange Tenets Of Belief Of the comeouters
OF South Carolina.

The Comeouters is a new religious
sect which is sweeping away old
church alignments among the rural
devotecs of South Carolina. These
people have as their champion Rev.
John Ellenbag, who moves about from
place to place, carrying the people
with him by strange power. In
general principles they are baptistic,
but hold that man must be re-
baptized every time he commits sin.
So many were the family divisions at
first attended by efforts of the con-
verted TO bring them to the new faith
that continual wrangles ensued. 1t
was no new thing to see the whole
body of Comeouters baptized anew
every day, SO much SO that Cedar
creek was kept muddy.
The Comeouters acknowledge no
leader but Christ, no discipline but
the Bible, recognizing nothing like a
session, presbytery, synod or general
assembly, no association or mission
boards. They have no church roll,
never open or close the doors of the
church, have no clerk, depending
entirely upon the recording angel to
write the names of true believers in
the Book of Life and to blot them out
if they backslide. They allege that
the church is Gods, and that none
but he can open or close its door, and
that none but he can receive and ex-
clude members, and that he alone can
enforce the Bible discipline.
The Comeouters believe in mans
free agency, and when one processes
faith in Christ the preacher baptizes
him by immersion. If the convert
backslides and is reclaimed, he must
be reimmersed. And only such are
true members of the church as the
Comeouters call themselves. They
preach the doctrine of "the new birth, "
that it occurs among all denominations,
but none will remain except such as
"fulhll all righteousness" by submit
ting to immersion and having their
feet washed.
They further believe that the day of
physical miracles has not passed, that
miracles are as frequent and necessary
to life and prosperity of the church
now as they were in the days of the
apostles, and that their wonder and
power, as formerly, is according to
the faith Of the performer and the
subject. They sell all their property
when they have any and live in com,
mon, awaiting the coming of the Lord

THEATRICAL GOSSIP.
the FUTURE OF GRAND OPERA
IN NEW YORK.

Al Interesting Contribution on the Sub.
ject by Maurice Grau-John Hare
Speaks of the Differences Between
English and American Audiences.
Regarding the future of opera In
New York, and the large salaries paid
to the principals, Mr.. Grau said re-
Gently: New York Is too important
q musical centre to be deprived of op'
era even for n season. The public is
exacting, perhaps too much so, being
absolutely unwilling to put up with
any thing but the very best. l don't
think, however. that such a company
a ours could be duplicated any
where The salaries of the leading
artists I don't regard as extravagant,
as some would have the public be-
lieve, in view Of what the same ar.
lists can earn elsewhere. The sala-
ries of most of them. it is true, have
Increased since their first visit to
America, but in many cases these in
creases were provided for in con
tracts which were for terms of years

The Contractor Was Discharged.

Franklin w. Smith, a Boston con-
tractor, was tried by court-martial and
found guilty Of pocketing a thousand
or two dollars out Of a contract with
the Navy department for supplies. The
report of the court-martial was sent to
President Lincoln for his examination,
who returned it with this characteris-
tic endorsement:
Whereas, Franklin w. Smith had
transactions with the United States
Navy Department to a million and a
quarter Of dollars, and had the chance
to steal a quarter Of million; and
whereas, he was charged with stealing
only ten thousand dollars, and from
the final revision of the testimony it is
only claimed that he stole one hundred
dollars, l don't believe he stole any
thing at all.
Therefore, the records of the court
martial, together with the finding and
sentence, are disapproved, declared
null and void, and the defendant is
fully discharged.
