RELIGION AND CHURCHES,' WITH A RESUME OP THE PARISH LAWS. L-,?.:. . ; The early settlers of Rowan County were religious people. The Presbyterians, f Scotch Irish extraction, were probably the most numerous in the section now comprise ing Guilford County, In the Jersey! Settle ment, in Western Rowan, and Iredell coun ties, i The Lutherans and German; Reform ed (the latter sometimes called Calvin Con gregations, and Presbyterians) prevailed in arts of Guilford, Tavidson? East and South iowan, and Catawba counties. I nime the regions us they are now known, bat they were all then in Rowan. In Davidson and Randolph there were Baptist Churches. In Salisbury, in the "Jerseys, and elsewhere, there were Some members of tht Church of England. It is probable that ! William Temple Coles and his family, John! Dunn, perhaps Cdrbin and Inncs and theFrbhocks were attached to that communion, j We infer this pimply from their nativity and their connection with Earl Granville and Gover nor Dobbs, as Agents or Officers j of the crown. In regard to Dunn we have a more certain tradition, as we shall hereafter men tion. It, will be -remembered that ' , St. Luke's Parish j was established cotemporaneously Iwjth the County, as a part of the great ststem of Government here wrought out, or attempt ed ; a9 nearly conformed to the system ofj the mother country as practicable, j During the Administration of Gov. Dobb3-ih 1754, according to Wheeler ten years later ac icordinjj to other authorities, ce Wheeler, p. 337, Carulher' Caldwell, p. 175,) steps were taken to provide for the ministry of the word according to the rubrick of the Church of England. A petition, signed by thirty four persons in the county of Rowan, and addressed to Gov. Dobbs, represents, ("That his majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects in this country, who adhere to the! liturgy and profess the doctrinesjpf the Church of England, as by mw established, havenot the privileges and advantages'" which! the ru brick and canons of the church allow and enjoin on all its members. That the act of the Assembly calculated for forming a regu lar vestry in all the counties have never, in this county,f produced their happy fruits. That Iie County of Rowan, above all coun ties in th Province, lies under great disad vantagesv a3 her inhabitants are coinposed almost of all nations of Europe, and instead of a uniformity in doctrine and worship, they have a medley of most of the religious tenets that have lately appeared; in the world ; who from dread of submitting to the national church, should a lawful vestry be established, elect such of their owb com munity as ejyadc the acts of the Assembly Land refuse the oath, whence we can (never expect the regular enlivening beams pi the holy Gospel to shine upon ns." ; j From the fact that there were only thirty four signers to this petition from the vast territory of Rowan, we may naturally infer that the population in those days was hope lessly plunged into "Dissent.1' And yet it was the purpose of the far-away rulers of England, and of the North Carolina Assem bly, to have the Province to conform as far as possible to the eclesiastical system at hornet And so the Parish System of Eng land, as far as practicable, was incorporated in the system of North Carolina law. What that system was, can be gathered from a voluminous "Act" of thirty-three sections, passed by the General Assembly at Wilming ton in 1764. Other acts and regulations of the same general tenor had been adopted on various occasions before, but the act of 17G4 with a supplementary one in 17G5 is the most full, and gives an impartial view of the system as perfected, just before the final downfall of the whole scheme at the Declaration of Independence in 177G. 1 will endeavor to give an impartial resume of the Parish System. : According to this "Att" the Freeholders of each county, on Easter Monday or every third "year, were required to" elect twelve vestrymen to hold said ohMcc for the term of three" years. A "freeholder" according to existing laws was a person who owned at least fifty acres of land, or a lot in Some town, j These freeholders were required to vote for vestrymen under a penalty of twen ty shillings equal to $2,50 in specieand the vestrymen ., so electedwere required to subscribe an oathihat "they will not oppose the Doctrine. Discipline and Liturgy of the Church of England, as by law established;" and in case of refusal to qualify, any vestry man elect was to be declared -incapable of acting in that capacity. Out of the twelve vestryman two church wardens were to be chosen, who were required to hold office at least one year, under a penalty of forty shil lings, equal to five dollars, in specie or ster ling monev, and they were to forfeit ; five founds if they did not set up their accounts or public inspection, in the Court House. These vestries might appoint one- or more clerks or readers, to perform divine service at such places as they might designate, j The vestry were lilso empowered to lay a tax of ten shillings, proclamation money, on each "taxable" in the county for the.purpose of building churches or chapels paying min isters' salaries, purchasing a gleoe, erecting "Mansions" or Parsonages' etc. etc. "Taxables," as we gather from another act, were all white male persons over six teen, years of age, all negroes mulattocs, and mustees, both male and female, over twelve years of age, and all white persons male and female over twelve years of age who intermarried with negroes or persons of mixed blood. Such a tax, faithfully col lected, would have yielded an immense rev- enue tor tne support, oi reiigioii. Dciug u noil tax. and not a property tax, it fell heav ily upon the-poor, and lightly on the rich. The tax thus Jcvied was to ue coiiecteu uy -the Sherilt, as the other taxes, and j paid over to the vestry ; and m case of refusal, the Sheriff was required to "distrain" the iroodsof the delinquent and sell them at pub lic auction, after publishing the sale by post ing it on the Court House, door, tne cnurcu door, and by public announcement to the people immediately after divine service! See Dati1 BecUal of N. C. latcs, edition 1773 p. p. 304, 309). By an "Act" passed in 1765, during the administration of Win. Tryon, as Lieut. Governor, and called an "act" for-establish-ing an orthodox clergy" it was provided that every nuaister of a parish was to re ceive a stateof salary of 133, 6s., 8d.,j and for each marriage solemnized in the parish, whether he performed the ceremony or not; provided he did not refuse, 20 shillings for nreachiic each funeral 40 shillings. In ad dition to this he was to have the free use of a "Mansion House" and "Glebe," or "Tract of good land," of at least two hundred acres, or twenty pounds additional until such time as the "Mansion House" . and "Glebe"! were provided: The "3Iansion House wasrequircd to be thirty-eight feet in length, and eighteen feet in width, and to be accompanied with a kitchen, barn, stable, dairy and meat-house, with such other con veniences as they may think necessary." (See DaviS Ittvittfd 1773. no. 33S-9). .Krora this it will appear that the Assembly of North Caroliua made a fair and liberal provision for the support of her parish ministers, and with the exception of the Glebe, which lie need not , cultivate himself, rendered him "free front worldly cares and avocations." Idly But the difficulty lay in putting these rcg- illations into effect. In Uov. Douus' ie;ter I IU lilt!

(See Carut7ierrtuCnldifU.n n. But let Parson Miller, in th4tfpr ilmvn referred to. tell how matters were conduc ted in Rowan Countv and in Salisburv. es pecially. He says, "Subsequently to the year 17C8 the Rev. Mr. (Theodore Drane) Draig came to Silisbury, in Rowan County, which wasJhen St. Luke's Parish, and so far suc ceeded as'fb be able to have a small chapel erected in what is called the Jersey Settle ment, about nine or ten miles east of Salis- oury. Jiut tne opposition made to his set tlement as Rector of that Parish, b th Presbyterians, was so very rancorous as to raise great anirnosity-in.their minds against all his endeavors to that end thev beinc far the most numerous bod v. having uTorn I large congregations well organized in the adjacent counties, and one of them in the vicinity of Salisbury. I well remember an anecdote told me by Dr. Newman, (and) John Cowan. Sen., in their life time, and indeed by several others in the vicinity of ciansuury, some or whom may yet be living. That on Easter 3Ion day, when an election according to the then law of the Province was to be held for the purpose of electing vestrvmen, the Presbvterians stt nn Mnrli. dates of their own persuasion and elected them, not with anv desisrn either to serve or act as vestrymen, but merely to prevent tne episcopalians irom electing such as would have done so.' This caused much bitter animosity to spring up between the parties, ana so, mucn discouraged the Rev. gentleman. Perhaps the approach of the Revolution war had its influence also; but be that as it may, after a four years' fruit less effort t organize an Eoiseonalian enn- gregation in this section he left it as he found it, witnouc any.

Best and associates. -Syndicate Bill endorsed ly Oov.'Jarvis and others. I Comment: if a private citizen purchase a plantation for $10,000, and make two pay ments of $2,000 each and tben fail, what then ? What docs the law say ? Does the original owner of the land return him the $4,000 and take back the land ? Not a bit of it. He retains the title in the land and pockets the $4,000. In other words, the purchaser loses all he has paid. Why should a great sale involving mil lions be made to !a Northern Syndicate on terms far more favorable than those that the law provides in cases of private sales ? Why should a private citizen, who may sell prop erty, Ijc better protected in his interests and rights than a great State selling out a great railroad line ? W are not lawyers, have consulted with none, and only ask the question ? It looks to a plain common sense eye that the terms for the sale of a railroad ought to be as stringent as those required iu the sale of a house or a tract of land. Ought Best and Company, if they fail in their Contract; to be let off as easily as the above section indicates? We pause for a reply. In section 13 we read that Best and his associates, in case of a failure on their part "to observe and perform the contract made with them" by the State shall nevertheless be allowed a lien upon the road from Salis bury to Paint Rock to the extent of their "actual and necessary'' outlay "in building, repairing and equipping said road," but the amount shall not ! exceed $850,000. Thus the State, as we understand it, would be come actually indebted to said Best and his associates, for the sum of $850,000. There is already a lien of $850,000; so here would be an indebtedness of $1,700,000 in case Best and associates failed in their contract, this ii called getting out of debt. This supposes that the ($850,000 debt is worth that sum. If only $550,000, the amount then will be $1,400,000. If a-gale is to be made, let it be genuine: let there be no aftcrclaps. If we are to have an extra session at a great cost to sell out let the sale be complete. We do not wish to hear some time hence that there has been no sale, but an additional debt has been created and that too after the heavy expense of the, extra session. But if a sale is made it ought to be on no better terms for tlie Syndicate, as we have said .above, than those which prevail in pri-1 vate .transactions as between man and man. The Governor cjaims that the road from Salisbury to Paint Rock will be worth fully $3,000,000 when competed. Mark that if you please, and now see what sort of a tra der he is. He proposes to sell the road for considerably less than a million and a half (f 1,500,000) or ! about 1,400,000. We say this because it is evidently estimated in the bill of sale that $S50,000 or less will complete the road.; The $850,000 lien upon the road is valued at $550,000, we believe. So we find the Governor anxious to sell property which he says will be worth $3, 000,000 when completed, and it will require not more than $850,000 to accomplish this, and for how much 1 The lien upon the road costs the State $550,000 really, as we under stand. Eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars or less will jcomplete the road, equip it, etc. It will bct worth $3,000,000 when this is done. It must be sold, however, for what appears to be a good $1,400,000. This is called a good sale. The Star repeats : it is not oppose to get ting rid of the overgrown and pampered elephant; but it favors getting rid of it on the best possible terms, and insists that the sale shall be bona fide, complete, final, with no aftcijclaps. Thd Star further insists that the terms shall be equitable but stringent, and that the State's important interests shall be fullv nrotected.l It further suggests that three or four of the best lawyers such as no rings can in- fluence-r-be selected to report upon thcSyn dicatc bill, and to make it strong wherever lucy I1UIJ lit CK.-p tl untnyivit, uiui .
