By XyiLLIASX K. WILMINGTON N. C. EVENING EDITION. -Monday, March 19, 6 P. M. v BET. SIR. PEARSON. "What went ye out for to see ?" A great congregation probably 3,000 people met in the new tabernacle on Sunday night to see and hear the v . eminent evangelist,Rev.Mr. Pearson. ' Of coarse idle cariosity carried many, but there were probably two r thousand present who. went with a sincere desire to be benefited to get more 3lght, more spiritual power, .juore religion. At (he close of the sermon probably more than two thousand men and women stood up " declaring in the act that henceforth ; "that would sow more to the spirit ' and less to the lesh. Bat what about the preacher ? No man can judge another by one effort. ' You may hear the masterpiece of his V life or yon may hear him when he -r bas dropped to the lowest rung in the . ladder of his intellections and suc cesses. The time, the occasion, the physical oondition,the mental health, - and in preaching, the Divine illumi ' nation and baptism, thave all to be " considered and all contribute to the results. A man at the bar, or, in the .Senate, or on the rostrum, or even in the pulpit, may on some very re- 'markable occasion speak above his , ability as Macaulay said of Warren Hastings. . But all speakers have an ; average. Mr. Webster once at the bar and once in the Senatejrose above himself Bod produced speecher that deserve to live as long as the Eng- - - lish language in which they were , spoken ..'Even Idmand Sarke, im- - - penal and x unapproached-... in . , the 7'rtplendor and resources of hia -teeming, mighty - brain, in liis - Nabobs of Arcot's Debtsv speech,' V and possibly t in one or two '. -. others, asoended to the heights that - Wen his sweeping and majestio wing , never tjfore-:hiai again. ; But why mul- " tiply instances ? The point is that by one effort, and that all men liave an average! - r'V"'- vf ?r,r:l!''' '. Whether MrT Pearson's 'first ser- , monin Wilmington' was beyond his : U8Ual rswn; or whether he fellbelow r his average standard -of execllence we cannot undertake to decide at this stage of the meeting. But what about his preaching ? ' This writer studied homUetlcs for eight, or tenyears.'. He has heard mora than a hundred men posaiblv , bundreds-r-preach the Gospel. pf the Son of ?God.-He has heard Tvne Hawksi Balcb-Ives,Atkinsonagg nthflr'fflen OT Iturta in t1. U.!. I,, heard Peck,Ana.oBi S.Mm Smith, Wilonn Yaugban jtndother -?ff-d . men in the; .Presbyterian Cburcb. He has beard Fuller, Broad us, Williams,. Hague, - Ford,, 7in gate; Carrie, Reynolds, J. R Graves, and other .eminent preachers in the; Baptist Churob.' He has heard'Hez ekiah Xeigb," ; Tom'lXdwe: Pielrce, Parker," Andre ws,y -vDeems, "'MoTaoj1 and other men of power in the Meth odist Church. He : has heard men in some , few other churohes. This is said to put before the reader 4he standard by which we propose to measarcs. Mr. Pearson. '- And now whatsis the jadgment?r; S -5H.TE. : Nature has done very little for im. He has none of the natural endowments that set off the great orator. His personal appearance is youthful, homely,, nnimposing. His voice is peculiar, and yet not without a certain fascination penetrating and not unmusical when you get accustomed to it. He has clear arti culation. His manner is deliberate, self-contained. His mind is logical, acute, responsive, aggressive. He is not eloquent in any high sense. He is not a rhetorician! He scarcely uttered in his fifty minutes discourse one rhetorical sentenoe. He is not imaginative. His descriptions are not remarkable. Then with all this negation, what is he? What power has he as a preacher? We fear irreligious, worldly men will scarcely understand us. He has power and of a very wonderful kind. It is the power that comes of God the power of the Holy Ghost. Of him it may be said as St. Paul said of himself: "And my speech and my preaching was not with entinng wrda rf man' vUdoin, but in demonstration of the Spirit and cf power." It is his closet work that makes him so effective. He has the holy unction from on High. He has that gift of speech that enables him to olothe clear thoughts in simple language. He is plain, simple, earnest, almost vehement. ' He is a servant of the Most High God, and he shows unto men the way of sal vation. He is a preaoher of the Cross of JesaB and we know how that is variously felt and estimated. Said St. Paul: "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishnest : but onto us which are saved, it it the power of God. " You will hear all sorts of criticism much that is foolish, absurd, even wicked. This is a good sign. The first shot from the Pearson gun brought down the enemy. It was in deed a centre shot. No man or woman in that vast assembly, how ever uncandid, however insincere, however depraved, will ever forget that sermon. They will remember it all through life, in spite of the etupi fyiog effects of the deadly opiate, and they will remember it in the Day of Wrath when the congregated mil lions of earth shall stand before the great white throne to be judged by the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Here then is our opinion of the preacher. He is the very' best Gos pel preacher we ever heard. He is not an orator, mind you; nor a rhe torican, nor a sensational pulpit banger of the Talmage type. Bat he is a preacher of righteousness an ambassador of God faith a mes sage; and this message must be de livered in all sincerity and faith, but with the utmost plainness, the ut most directness, the utmost simplici ty. The Master preaohed in such language that all could understand Htm. The Apostles all Peter and the remainder spoke to. men not in the language of science or philosophy, "vainly so-called," or of poetry. Men with itching ears crave garrish dis plays and ' rhetorical pyrotechnics and imaginative splendors, but per ishing men need the Gospel of Jesus in the words such, as are used in-com mon life. Technical language ts always out of place in the pulpit. The greatest men are the. simplest. Mr. Pearson plantsjhimself square I ly on the Word of God. With him I it is the law and the testimony first, I Holy Scripture are unanswerable; I tiaal, conclasive. His knowledge of I the Bible is profound. His abil- lity to use it most marked; ' It is easy to understand after hearing him once, how he succeeds so won der fully, - and why it is that dying men hasten again and again to hear this minister of Jehovah preaoh thai Word of Life. We think it cani all be summed up in a few: words; .'first, be relies . solely . npon God second, he knows God's Word. He is. -we -l Z Z - e ' " 3Pcher ; . .

Amen and Amen 1 ! :" ' You are always hearing from the Protectionists gushing sympathy for the laborers under ' their employ. They would have you believe that the only reason in the world why they favor a High Tariff is because it enables them to pay high wages. The Pennsylvanian employee can tell a story of oppression that gives the lie -direct to all of. this blow and blarney. The money question is what deceives. What is the purchasing power of a dollar and how much la bor is performed enters into this question of wage. If an American does three times as much as a work ing man in another country and gets but one and a half times as much he is not really as well paid as the other. Rev. John G. Brooks, in a recent Tariff Reform meeting held at Con cord, Mass., taid: "Brick a in Germany cost three or four times as much as they do here, and in all the other products ot Germany there is a similar excess of cost. If their products cost more than ours, of course they can't compete. And so the only way to con vince or error those protectionists wti think It absurd for our well-p-aid workmen to compete with f orelf ners who will labor for thirteen cents a day it to compare the cost of production In Europe with the cost here. The manufac ture of a watch for instance, costs in the Black Forest three times as much as here. and shoes in Vienna mere than twice as much as in America. A resident of India declares that one ot;lishman saws more wood than a score of natives. If anybody needs protection it is the cheaply paid a borer. The cheapest labor of the world is really the most expensive labor, and where the lowest wages are paid there the east work is done. Mr. J. S. Moore, the able and thor oughly competent Northern writer npon the Tariff, thus refers to Mr. Randall's bill in a communication in the New York Times: "As a matter ot fact, it has been com plained that the very colleaUen of the whiskey tax, or any vesiico or it. is un American and hUhly obnoxious. Then it was complained that the system necessitates a lot of office holders. Heoce. one fails to see why Mr. Randall should still keep a nxty-cent tax on whiskey ana the Deer ux. This will be hard to answer by those who believe in a total wiping out of the internal tax. It appears to a great many sensible and earnest people as absurd and unwise to re lieve certain kinds of useless luxnr ies and retain the tax on the absolute necessaries of life of the 20,000,000 of daily toilers in this country. Mr. Moore says: "But independent of this partial blunder. the decencv as well as the patience of tbs 60,000.000 people in this great land seems outraged that the drunkards should be re lieved and. get cheaper whiskey, or the manufacturers of perfumery should get free alcohol, and the hard-working or half starved millions in the great cities should pay IS cents a bushel on potatoes, or 80 per cent, on the sugar consumed, or SO per cent, on common mixed .woollen dress goods that anly cost about 20 cents a square yard and is worn by the millions of farm ers' families and the working people of the land. 1 don't think that the majority or the population can possibly give a prefer ence to reduce taxation on drink to the re duction of taxes on necessary food and on clothing." CURRENT COMMENT. Senator-Vest says he-no loh-i i ger intends to vote for pension jobs miroaucea in tne senate, in order to avoid a bloody hirt howl. - Mr. Vest as well as other Southern Senators should have taken this stand several years ago. There is no doubt about the fact that members "of Congress from the South have voted for pen sion steals simply because they thought if they opposed suoh bills the charge would be made that their action was prompted by hatred for the Union soldier. The time has passed when they should be inlu- enced by : the threat that they will "fire th Northern heart." New Orleans States, Bern. -:.

Lynchburg Advance, uen. Olarest or Supreme Coart Peelelena. Raleigh News-Obser? er. Murray vs. Haxell. Held, That thei jurisdiction of a court of equity to afford relief against deeds and other instruments casting clouds on title does not extend to a case where the purpose of the deed is clear, and it cannot operate pres ently or in the future to the injury of the party complaining. . Therefore where an assignee 'in bankruptcy, 'having set aside the homestead of the bankrupt in a two thirds interest in a tract of land, sells and cooveys the interest of the bankrupt in said land subject to the homestead of the baokrupt therein, such conveyance being authorised by the bankrupt act, is valid, but as the conveyance is subject to the homestead of the bankrupt on its face, it cannot operate to the preju dice of the bankrupt, and constitutes no cloud on his title that equity, can relieve. Williams vs. Siio. Where a testator devised two hun dred acres to her eon Robert and her daughter Ellen to remain undivided until Robert comes of age or until one of them marries and then to be divided, and in any olause says 'I will and desire that should Ellen and Robert die leaving no beir then the surviving one to heir the estate of the deceased brother or ejster;" and after the tract had been divided Robert died without issue. Held, that his share passed to his sister; the time contemplated by the testator when the contingency was to bap pen giving effect to the ulterior limi tation, being the death of either tenant without children then living. Johnson-vs. Allen. This action was brought by plain tiff to recover damages for enticing away and harboring bis wife. . Held, .That the trial judge may; exercise a just discretion in allowing the examination of witnesses, and ' il ia only when the exercising, of. his discretion is clearly erroneous and to the prejudice of a party; that it con stitutes ground for a new trial. Held, That evidence whioh, in con nection with other evidence, tended to show, defendant's illisit. relations with plaintiff's wife, was competent; Held, That while the minute of proceedings before a Justice of the Peace are quasi . records yet parol testimony may be heard as to such proceedings where the purpose is not to prove anything affecting the min utes but merely to show the oenduot towards each ether of persons con oerned in the trial. Held, That objections to the ad missibility of evidence must be made, in apt time. Generally the refusal of the court to exclude testimony ad mitted without objection is not as signable as error. - Held, That for tortious injaries janes are not confined in ascertain ing damages to saoh- as are merely compensatory, but may give punitive damsgesrthe amount to depend npon the obaracter of the parties, the na ture of the injary, the circumstances . of aggravation, the. pecuniary, cir cumstances of the .. defendant and like considerations. - . Held, That unless it appears that the court was requested, to give par-r ticular instructions add, refused, and that there is an assigriment of ' error in that respect, the objection' cannot.' be beard on appeal. - And; where special instructions were - asked ; by the parties, it cannot be assigned-as' error that some other possible - view of the fact might' also nave beencon sidered and submitted to the jury..' Held, That while Vill; treatment" is not a definite expression,, yet, mere "ill treatment" of the, wife by the husband does not warrant a stranger, in; entertaining her. and. keeping -iher7 apart from her husband, againsC.his' will.

All Palate. fn Telecraph to tbe Moraine Star.) WasHnroToir, Harcb. '19. The TJ. 8. BoDreme Uourt to-dar rendered a decision m tbe Telephone cases, which is in favor f the Bell Te.ephone Company on all points and in all of tbe cases. In coniider ing tbe qusstlon of the alleged anticipation ot Bell's invention by tbe telephone of Rtl. In Germany, the Court claim that Reis discovered the means of transmitting musical tones . and nothing more. Bell's patent, being for the process or art of transmitting speech, would have been just as valid, eves if he had used the apparatus of Reis in developing it. The Court holds that the apparatus of Reis was not success ful in transmitting speech, and that his in vention was -hot in any respect ah anticipa tion of tbe discovery which was made by Bell. The decision Includes the points set up in the claims of Reis, Yanderweyde and HcDoaough. The Court holds that the force of the testimony, abowiag that Drawbaugh had a telephone in ion before the invention of Bell, is completely broken by his own con duct, and the Indifference which he mani fested with regard to hie alleged invention, until Tears afjer Bell's telephone was known to the whole world.' The Drawbaugh claim la declared to be unsustained . Justice Bradley read an opinion dissent ing from the tlecisioa of tbe Court. Jus tices Field and Harlan also dissent, and Justices Gray sod Lamar did not sit with the case. The Bell patents are therefore sustained by a majority of the Court, the Vote standing four to three.
