The speech Of the Hon. Chas. Manly
Busbee in support of the articles of
Impeachment yesterday afternoon was
the effort of his life. It rang clear
as a bell from start to finish;it was
compact, logical, epigrammatic; it was
elegant in diction and eloquent in de-
Livery. It is hardly too much to say
it carried conviction TO those who.
heard it.-Raleigh News and Obser-

There are extra pious' people in al
denominations who are not content uni
less their relations in all the business
affairs of life are wholly, or as nearly
so as possible. with members Of their
particular denominations. Hence we
often see the statement that a Method
dist merchant. a Presbyterian DOCTOR
an Associate Reformed Presbyterian
lawyer. Or a Lutheran. Episcopal, Bap-l
fist or Catholic business or professional
imam or mechanic can find an opening
at some point. lnlS means tHdl peoPSeI
of a certain sect want to patroniZe a.
member of that sect in preference 20
all others. Now it is commendable
Ienough in members of any particular
denomination to do what they can to
aid n encourage the growth Of their
denomination and to aid in proper and
Legitimate ways the members of their
denomination. But there is always a
line. dictated by common sense. as to
how far this matter should go.-States-
