Ten, who say they had serious doubts all
through the exciting times of last winter,
bf the wisdom of employing the means
used in the reTiTals, nd okgiving their
town sanction to the same. And that they
were kept from saying and doing anything
against the "movement," partly from the
influence of popular setiment, and partly
because the "movement" had many of the
external evidences of the presence and
guidance of the Holy Spirit, and so they
desisted lest haply they should be found
to fight against God.
The writer of this article classes him
self among these; he kept aloof from the
wares of excitement as long as he could,
and when he did open his church and in
vite his people to lend their voices and in
fluences to the work then going on, it was
with many misgivings of the propriety, and
doubts of the fruitage of such work. And
.what has been the result f Ask those who
were most ardent in their praises of Mur
phy one year ago ; ask those who labored
days and nights, gave thousands of mon
ey, and forgot everything else in their ad
vocacy oi this reform and this reformer,
fheir answer shall be my answer.
Last winter it was constantly asserted
that saloons were being closed for want
of custom ; that "to lets" were numerous.
This was true, I saw, much of this with
bay own eyes But I went over the city
recently ; saloons are all open, looking
better patronized than ever ; not a single
"to let" on a saloon to be seen. I asked
a prominent leader of the movement, a
few days ago, about the present temper
once status of the city. "Better," he re
plied, "far better for ua if we had never
teen Murphy, I am convinced that no per
manent good was done."
MBut," I demurred," "Murphy is said
to be coming back to revive the work."
"Hell never come," he replied, "Mur
bhy knows better than to come back here;
he could do nothing or next to nothing.
He may go on to other places and do as
be has done here, but there is no possibil
ity of his returning here."
There was some good done ; some refor
tnauon effected. No one will deny this,
But not any more and probably not as
much real advance made as would have
been done by ordinary effort. J do not
disparage the work of Murphy ; I think he
does good ; I hope he may do much more.
But what I would say to my brethren in
the ministry in Illinois is this : I pity you
when this wave strikes you as it did us

ays: :
U Is hot generosity that I ask for;- I ask
for simple justice. Be just to God ; be just

exhibition of conscience, not of feeling. To
pay a just debt is not an emotional act.
God Is not a beggar knocking at your door

this collection conscientiously, therefore,
looking upon it as a matter of duty, and not

i Peotestant Episcopal Missions to
the Fkeedmen.A meeting was held itt
Baltimore; March 21, under the auspices
of the Protestant Episcopal Board of Mis
uions, at which the cialrilS of the frcedmen
upon the Episcopal Church were fullydis
cussed. There are already in the South
37 chapels for colored worshipers of that
denomination, 57 clergymen and teachers,
fire of whom areblored, and one colored
evangelist. It was held that o the five
millions colored people one-third had since
the war risen to a higher 'driltetf01? and
a higher life) one-third had goue down to
a lowen plane, and sob-1 thinly were left
victims of drcumstanceal The Re?. Ir.
Crummell, rector-of St. Mary's (eolored)
church, Washington, maintained that the
Episcopal Church was especially fitted for
the colored people. It was a great .mis
take to suppose they were distinguished
by their fanatical qualities. In Washing
tou there was a division between old Af
rica and young Africa; the old were cling

young were after enlightenment, Chris

Thk Kkts or Jkkcsalbjc. Upon the ac
cession of each new Sultan, the keys of Je-
riKuth'm ftncortlincr to ancient custom, are
claimed by the Jewish community, and de
livercd into their hands by the Turkish au
thorities. They areonly retained for a short
time, and returned by tho Chief Rabbi to
the governor, just as the keys of the city of
London, on visits of the queen, are presented
to her as an act-of homage, and then re
torcd to. the safe keeping of the civic magis
trates. The ceremony was witnessed by
Mr. and Mrs. Finn, of theBritish.Consulate,
and Signor Pierotti, on the accession of the
Sultan Abdul Assiz. This recognition of the
Jews as the rightful owners of thc. Holy
City is, at present, a mere form, but it may
be the symbol and presage of a real and
permanent transfer of power to be witness
ed in the future. The restoration of the
Jews to Palestine is an idea at present chief-
y discussed by students ot prophecy. But
it may come to be a great political reality.
It is an old saying that he who is master of
Svria has the key to Esrvt. Let the Jews
posse s again their own land, and it would
matter little to "British interests" whether
the Russians or the Turks rule elsewhere.
The passage to india by the Suez canal is
the chief "British interest" that can be en
dangered by any change of power in these
reeions. and Ervnt would bo safe if the
Jews were guaranteed, by the E .ropean
powers, in the possession of Syria. Tins
may come to be the true solution . f "the

Church Sold. The Episcopal Church
of the Intercession, of New York, which

Sectabian Appropriation Resisted.
JThe Baltimore M. E. Conference at its recent
session adopted a protest against the pro

$32,000 to the St. Mary's Industrial Insti

ground that the Institute is a sectarian In

TOBACCO RAISING.
T. D. Goodiidcro. a tobaeco erower of
Kentucky, gives the following advice
about raising tobacco : As it is getting
time to prepare for a tobacco crop,
thought I would give my tmbacco grow
iug friends my advice, as well as cxperi
euce, in the tobacco culture. It is a fact
unquestionable' that when we grow a crop
of tobacco, we grow it for the pounds, for
what we expect to profit by it; therefore,
don't plant it ou new land when you can
do better. I find that it pays a great deal
better to select a very rich piece of old
land, break it early and deep, and harrow
well. Then, when your plants get largo
enough to set out lay off your ground
three foet wide, and if you don't wish to
hill it, plant your tobacco on the edge of
tho furrow, abont 16 inches apart. By so
doing you will make more tobacco than
you know what to do with. I followed
this last year and made from half an acre
1,322 pounds of tobacco. How is that for
high 1"
How to J pphj Ashes and Salt.
Uuleached ashes may be applied at the
rate of 40 or 50 bushels per acre upou
land that is full of weeds. The more veg
etable matter there is in the soil, the more
ashes it will bear. Salt may be used at
the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per acre :
Sawdust is quite useless until thoroughly
rotted. By mixture with liquid from the
stables, it may serve as a useful vehicle
for this valuable fertilizer.
A Wiltshire dame, the mother of a large
family, was ouce asked the number of her
children. "La, me,'' she replied, rocking
herself to and fro, "I've got fourteen,"
mostly boys and girls.

had ample evidence to secure tho speedy
conviction of cx-Governor Chamberlain
forhis share iu the crimes against the
State. Resolutions, however, which pass
ed the House on Wednesday passed the

that, notwithstanding the investigations
have proved the truth of the several
charges made against him who had since
1868 ruled aud almost ruined the State,
the Government is requested to order a

PROSPECTUS OF
The Davidson Record, well known to the
people of Davidson county as their campaign
paper of 187G, is designed to meet a public
WK.nl of the business men and of the interests oi
the county. The lime has come when almost
every county finds it indispensable to have a
public journal of its own to represent its inter
ests in the various affairs of business, local and
general. There is no county in the State that
would not be greatly benefited by a journal
within ils bounds especially devoted to the pro
motion of the local iulfre.!s of the community.
Such :i paper appeals very Mrongly to the par
tiality and pride of the t-eciion il serves; and
every citizen f-hould give it his countenance
and suiiort it liberally, as a nie-jns of incn-ast
ing its usefulness and extending its influence at
home and abroad. Tho stronger it becomes
the more beneficial it will prove; and as the
money required for its suport is far less than
the material good it does, it is the best invest
ment any county can make.
The Record will of necessity take part in
the politics of the country. If it is the duty of
every man to keep himself well informed in
respect to public affairs, and to take a decided,
and manly part therein, U is especially- the
duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully
to investigate all questions ot public concern,
and give to his readers the facts of the same.
The undersigned pledges himself to be true in
this regard. He will not knowingly deceive
his readers for the sake of party or anything
else; but by laying before them the facts, as he
may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to
aid all to act wisely for the general good. As
political matters now stand, his personal con
victions are most decidedly in accord with the
views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva
tive party. He believes that tlie efforts of this
party in IS7G wrenched from the grasp of tyr
ants and corruptionists in high places the civil
liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that
great victory as second only to that gained by
the fathers of 1778. The danger wan immi
nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour
age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative
party proved itself equal to the occasion, and
gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of
the people. While that party shall continue
more pure and truly patriotic than any other,
he intends to be fully identified with it.
But the main design of The Record is toserve
the county of Davidson in all the ways it may
be possible to advance her interests and pro
mote the welfare of her people. And to this
end the undersigned desires such intimate re
lations with her citizens as shall enable him to
perform his duty efficiently.
The paper will be published weekly at $1 a
year in advance. It will be Bin a 11, but neatly
printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes
to make up in quality what may be lacking in
size. The first number will appear about the
first week in January, 1878.
