Thi Herald, of
last . week' con-
tains another ariicle
that favors a
License Law. It is copied from the
New York Sun, and is as full of
falsehoods, almost, as It ia of sent

is the proper one ? W thought the

Ahtboot that happens down patt
John Stitt's residence, will conclude
that he has fixed himself to live
and enjoy life. Hia house, for con
venienoe and elegance, as tt appears
from the street, most certainly com
mends his idea of how to build
and refit, if we had more such
houses as Stitt along the river,
strangers,- traveling by boat, would
conclude that somebody lived in
McConnelsville.
Rickktlt some one tried to swin
dle one of the Stevens grocery firms,
Zanesville, out of twe thousand dol
lars, by forging a letter purporting
come from a man-by the name of
Hall, livag below Beverly, whom
the Zanesville Firm were owing,
and asking that the above named
amount be sent to McConnelsville
for Hall, Stevens done so, but took
the precaution to send it by a eheck
the Bank, instead of the cash by
boat, and the check not being pre
sented; it leaked out that the letter
wbb a forgery. -
A Blow Shuck at oua Clieot.
The Herald, of last week, strikes
the following blow at our clergy :
"Fourteen Temperance Societies, on
the Washingtonian plan, have been or-
ranized in Noble. The number of
members, five hundred. The work has
been done by a young Presbyterian
minister less than twenty-two years of
age. How much more commendable
and how much more acceptable to his
Master is the work of this young de
votee, than that ministerial slang
whanging whioh arrays neighbor a
gainst neighbor I Just what is needed
here ia such a noble, disinterested,
tealous man as Rev. Butter. With all
reverence : "O Lord, give this com
munity a Butter in the person of some
of our own beloved ministers."
Here in McCoinelsville, we have
clergymen that "have taken the
most advanced position on the
Temperance question. In fact, as a
body, they have avowed themselves
to be Prohibitionist, and, conse
quently, have time and again, en
deavored to impress upon all pro
fessing Christians the importance
of a decided stand against the Li
quor Traffic. In doing so, tbey
have not been choice in their lan-
rusee in denouncing the Traffic
and the inconsistency of those
church members that encourage it
by their "daily walk and conversa
tion." This course has aroused the
ire of the Liquor Vendors, and tboir
friends, and, as a result, these irate
individuals, who think it all right
to deal out slow poison to a com
munity, stigmatize the clergy as
"arraying neighbor against neigh
bor." .to., and it seems that the
Herald, in its hot haste to cater to
the whisky elements, has caught np
the cry and is makiug it familiar in
every household.
While Rev. Rutter is doing a
(rood and commendable work in No
ble county, and while we are glad
to hear it and hope he will contin
ue it, yet we doubt very much whe
ther he has done half as much with
in the past year as either of several
ol our clergymen have to further
the cause of Temperance, lftbe
clergy of Ohio, as a body, would
but take the poaition that four or
five of our clergymen have taken
on the Liquor Traffic, it would not
be long before the drunkard mak
ing business would cease in the
State, and intemperance become
one ot the things of the past.
The reason for the Herald cot be
ing able to see any virtue in the
efforts of our clergymen relative to
Temperance matters is apparent to
all. Our clergyman believe in legal
suasion as well as moral suasion,
and tkey believe that the legal busk
ion hor!d- be apphei to the foun
tain from which the evil flows.
This does not soil the Herald be
cause it is the organ of the party
that holds the manufacture and
sale of alcoholio spirit as a bever
age to be one of tbo indispensible
resources of the country. But, we
are of the opinion that our clergy
can stand it to be called "slane-
wbangera" by the Herald if the
Herald can stand it to do so.
Htuekial. W are in receipt,
through the kindness of Fin. R.
Hanca, of the St. Joseph (Mo.,) Dai

contains a glowing aceotml of the
wedding of Mr. J. C. Whittemore,
of Brownsville, Nebraska, and Miss
Juliette Bell, daughter of Judge J,
R. Bell, of St. Joseph, and formerly
of MeConnelsville. Had we space,
we would publish the account in
fall for the benefit of the many
friends in this locality of the fair
bride, but our typo warns us that
our paper is about fall, and we are
forced, thereby, to deny ourselves
the pleasure. The bride is describ
ed aa having been more charming
even than it has been her wont to
appearand wm robed in the fol
lowing described elegant costume :
"The bride's dress was of corded
silk, of a rich rose tint ; the skirt,
ith lengthy tram full and flowing:.
finished at-tho bottom with pressed
side-plaiticga of organdie muslin,
surmounted with a heaving rouche
of silk, feathered at the edges, giv
ing a Very pleasant effect. The low
corsage, handsomely trimmed with
elegant point applique lace, with
puffs and plaitings of malire, was
perfect in taste. The short puffed
sleeves, with malire frills, were
shaped by the veil falling graceful
ly, lastenea Dy a cluster of white
rose bad i and lilao blossoms, taste
fully arranged. Simplicity, taste
and elegance were happily combin
ed in the arrangement."
The presents wero both numer
ous and r6yal!y magnificent ; and
the supper was all that the most
devoted epicure could have wished.

Reason, or Shall Bigotry
Shape and Rule the Destinies
Shape and Rule the Destinies of Mankind?
Editor Coxsfrvativi : There is an
article in the Conservative of the 21th
nit. from John F. Moody, which, al
though in the main devoid of point,
argument or logio, yet contains some
statements which I wish briefly to con
sider, as the spirit they breath and the
assumptions they make, are alike de
moralizing and absurd, lie commen
ces by saving!
"It is not necessary for the Christian
Religion to be aspersed by the foal
mouth of Spiritulism and Infidelity,"
&o.
Now why this nrgentletsanly and
untruthful epithet, 'foul mouthed" ?
and why applied? ' Simply because
Spiritualists and Infidels chance to be
lieve, and have the honesty to express
opinions differing from those of Chris
tians. (Of course I allude to the whole
family, not recognizing the right of one
small sect to monopolise the generic
name.) And how this style of argument
smacks of that used by a l alvin, and
Puritanical bigots, when the gibbet,
faggots and the rack were deemed ap
propriate arguments for the conversion
of refractory "Infidels." When will
clergymen learn to recognise the fact
that defamation and scurrility are not
arguments which appeal to the rea
sorting and reflecting faculties ol man
kind I Again be says:
"But here, I think, the Doctor cries,
Reason! Where? Who has it? How
much more has he than the philoso
phers of yore? -and it has never taught
our race anything but idolatry, the
history of which is foul licentiousness."
What a commentary is this in this
age of culture and scientific attain
ments, upon that faculty of the mind
which preeminently distinguishes man
Irom the brute? How appropriately
may we exelaim, "a blind leader, of the
blind" ! and again, in poetic phrase,
Knowledge to their eves her ample page,
Rich with spoils of time, did ne'er unfold;
Chill penury (bigotry) repelled their noble
rage,
Choked the noble impnise of theirsouls."
And yet, this has always been a f&t
vorite dogma of Christianity, that rea
son is deception, and deplorable in its
results to mankind, and she must ne
ceasariaily ignore reason, as its free use
invariably results in infidelity, and
self-preservation is her only law. Yet,
from this faculty alone, has resulted
the discovery of America, the arts of
printing and weaving, the application
ot steam, the Jblectnc 1 elegraph, the
Sewing-machine, and all the arts and
refinements that distinguish the high
est civilization from the lowest condi
tion of the savage. Again he savs:
"You may draw a line br the Bible,
and for it I will place all the good and
pare our earth ever had.
J nis statement displays as much ig
norance and bigotry, or culpable dis
regard of veracity as was ever couched
in so many words. Does he not know
populous kingdoms and empires exis
ted thousands of years before Moses
was bcrn, and that some exist at the
present day, yet not one in a million
oi tneir countless multitudes ever
heard of the Bible ? Does he not know
that not more than one-twentieth of
all the people now inhabiting the earth
Know anything of the Bible? And.
yet, is he so silly as to affirar that there
is no goodness amongst this vast mul
titude, nor has not been throughout
thousands of ses ? Has he not, at
least, heard of those paragons of virtue
ana goodness, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
and Joseph, who lived and died ages
before iloses was born ? These, cer
tainly, were not good by virtue of the
.Bible I cut to come down to our own
nation and time. An hundred years
or reading, interpretation and prayers
from tbe expounders of the Bible, onlv
seemed to confirm a large portion of
the Christians of the United States in
the belief that that "sum of all villain
ies," Slavery, was of Divine appoint
ment, ana they louna no lack of passa
ges to prove their doctrine and send
Onesimus back to bondage; and I think
I may safely claim that three-fourths
of the forty thousand clergymen of
this country, taught this doctrine at
the breaking out of the late rebellion.
Bur, when a Spiritualistic President
had declaired the bondman free, then
the Church, with its Bible, acquiesced
in the reform. Again, for nearly forty
years intemperance has been denoun
ced in this country, outside of the
Church, as a great evil, a sin, a erime;
and even prohibitory laws have exis
ted in: some of the States for years and
the reform has become quite popular
all over the country, and, yet, never, to
my knowledge, has any Christian sect,
as a body, takes any action in refer
ence to this crime until within the last
year, and, even now. tippling is not
considered a bsr te membership by
any sect that I am aware of; again pro
ving that reformatory movements are
far in advance of the' Church, and that
it only sluggishly follows in the popu
lar wake.

About the Infirmary.
Mr. Xurrex: It is hoped you and
the pablie will pardon a second refer
ence to this institution. The silence
maintained by the aathorities seems
te be ominous.
Bat it were well to contradict the re
port that there is no worship at the
Infirmary, if this report is false; and
well to institute worship there, if there
is, none.
If oar poor have not the Gospel
preached onto them, it is a theme te our
County I en Penitentiary convicts
are not-so neglected.
To shut up aged women, and leave
the sick and infirm without the com
forts of religion, is cruel, not to say
barbarous.
Certainly there is no good reason for
so doing. Worship can do no harm,
may do much good. It will cost noth
ing, and, therefore, will be the cheap
est as well as one of the greatest com
forts thece unfortunates may enjoy.
Christians of Morgan County, atten
tion I If the spiritual welfare of our
poor is neglected, will our skirts be
clear 1

this matter. II. C.

Perplexed Again.
Ma. Editor: Perhaps I oajht to
be obliged to your corresponded
for bis attempt to help me ont of
perplexity. He doubtless did the
best he conld.
Bat the difficulty is untouched
not one question answered. Blind
Tom fumblinff the psper at mid
night would not miss the point more
perfectly.
Poor follow I 1 do not blame him
for this. If a man has no brains he
is not responsible for the use of
any. Blamo attaches only to his
conceit and impudence.
It is, however, something to get
thisbamblo confession froxi him
that he cannst solve the problem
presented, lie resorts to falso in
sinuations and bitterness, makes
appeals to the prejudices and feel
ings, and thus to every intelligent
reader betrays both his own silli
ness and tbe weakness of his cause.
But behold this man, who falls to
comprehend some very simple
questions, put in plain English,
throws out a challenge to debate ! 1
Oh 1
Asked to explain his eagerness
for religious discussion, his reply is
ohly an exhibition of that same ea
gerness !
It is pitiable to see him so anx
ious to be converted over to "Orth
odoxy." Ilia auxiety is easily ac
counted for. Orthodox people are
t-ontent; their minds nr6 at rest.
One out at soa in the storm may be
excused for envying the quiet coU
tagor on the shore.
As for debate, Orthodox people
do not propagate their views that
way. Christ gave a commission to
preach not debate. Besides, he
cautioned his rtcoDle against such
A C i
exercises as this man challenges to.
' Cast not voirr pearls before swine,

PERPLEXED.
P. S. Mr. McLane's extract from
air. Barnes is shamefully garbled.
Perhaps a boy, "only 22," may be
excused on the grcund of ignorance.
The censure, if any, belongs to the
Universalis! paper from wLieh he
seems to have filched.
Air. Barnes' exact words, printed
by himself in the American Pres
byterian lloviow for October, 1&69,
are :
"I see Hot ene rsy of light to disclose to
me why ain came into the world, why the
earth is strewn with the dying and the
dead, and why men roust suitor to all eter
nity. I have never seen a j-arti.-le of
light thrown on these subjects that has giv
en a moments (ui to my tortured rair.d, nor
have I an explanation to offer, or a thought
to suggest, wnicD could be of relief to you.
I trust other men, ss they profess to do,
Understand this better than I do, and that
they have not the anguish of spirit whioh
have, hvttf I confess, when I look upon
world of sinners snd sufferers, upon
death-beds and grave-yaris, en tne worm
of woe, filled with hosts to suffer forever;
when 1 see my parents, my family, my
people, my fellow-citizens when I look
upon a whole race all involved in this
sin and danger, and when I see the great
mass of them wholly unconcerned, and
when I feel that God only can save them,
and yet He does not do it, 1 am struck
dumb. It is all dark, dark to ny soul, and
eannot disguise it."
Mr. McLane quotes this, "when
see so many , &c.
The words cnclosod in brackets
