The remarks of Mr.
We bespeak for the
One Hundred Years ago. —We
have been shown by one of our legal
gentlemen a copy of Blackstone just
one hundred years old, and which is
in a good of preservation. The learn
ed commentator in his lecture on the
study of the law, page 27, after tell-,
ing us that "ethics are confusedly a
branch of accademical learning'' adds,
that "Aristotle himself has said, speak
ing of the laws of his own country, t hat
jurisprudence or the knowledge of those
laws is the principal and most per
fect branch of ethics." The copy to
which we refer is an American edition
and was published in Philadelphia from
the last English edition. We are left
to infer that the above italicized words
are to he found in Greek characters in
the foot note of tho English edition, as
the American editor apologise* in the
foot note of his Work, thus : "There
being no Greek characters at present in
Philadelphia, we hope the learned read
er will accept the Greek in Roman let
ters." Philadelphia has advanced
some since 1771.
War in the Camp.—A bitter fight
has broken out between the regular
Republican Committee of New York
city, and the State Central Committee,
apparently as to "whether the State
Committee has the power to dissolve
the city Committee." But the real
question is, according to the N. Y.
Sun :• "whether Grant shall have the
thirty-one delegate* from New York in
the Republican National Convention of
next year. The State Committee are
mild but inexorable in their determina
tion to dissolve the city Comixittee,
while the latter in their appeal to the
Republicans of the State are sharp, se
vere, and defiant."
The. city Committee have issued an
appeal, denying all charges prefered
against them, and charging the State
Committee, with fraud, falsehood, etc.
In summing the probable result of the
rupture, the Sun concludes :
In fine, the appeal declares open war
on Grant, raises the flag of no surren
der, and calls upon the Republicans of
New York to go into the fight with a
free will. That this puts an extinguish
er upon Grant's chanehes for obtaining
the delegation from this State in the
next National Convention, must now he
as evident to his friends as it long has
been to all impartial observers.

"Workings op ihe Spirit."—O n
Thursday week one of tho strangest
manifestations of the "workings of the
Spiiit" that we ever heard of, occurred
at aschoelhouse near Temploville, Md.
The teacher, Mr. James It. Dill, had re
turned to school after tho noon inter
mission, and on opening the door was
surprised at finding the whole school in
tears. On inquiring the cause, his little
daughter sprang up and exclaimed, "Oh
papa, we've had such a good time." It
appears that during the noon intermis
mission Mr. Dill's daughter and another
girl, aged about 14 years, both earnest,
devoted young Christians, had com
menced singing hymns; the other schol
ars becoming interested, they started a
prayer meeting, during which ten chil
dren became converted, and professed
their belief in Christ. Mr. Dill
footed almost beyond control. School
was. not to be thought of that afternoon.
The spoiling book was laid aside for tho
Bible, and a season of praise and prayer
was enjoyed such us the old schoolhouse
had never before witnessed. In answer
to his question, as to how many would
meet him at church the next Sabbath
morning and make public profession of
their faith, five of the older scholars ex
pressed their willingness to do so. Thus
were the humble efforts of two "earnest
workers" rewarded by a result which
cannot help proving a blessing to tho
community, and an advancement of the
cause of religion—while tho old school
house is invested with an additional
charm, which will forever render it sa
cred in the eyes of all Christian peoplo.

Sharp Practice.—A gentleman of
this town was last week arrestod for a
supposed violation of tho Internal Rev
enue Laws and started to Baltimore in
custody of a U. 8. Deputy Marshall.—
Arriving at Wilmington tho parties were
compelled to wait for sometime for the
connection train from Philadelphia,
arrival of which the prisoner was
quested by tbe officer to "get aboard,"
which invitation wis positively declin
ed. On being commanded and
strated with by the U. >S. D., he (the
prisoner) said he believed Jie wouldn't
go any further*in that direction, as he
had business in Philadelphia which
must be attended to. Tho officer becom
ing somewhat exasperated, demanded
to know the cause of such conduct in
defiance of the majesty of the law, when
the prisoner produced the requisite doc
uments, showing that he was "ull right
on th© goose." When asked why he did
not show his papers before leaving leav
in home, he said he wanted to go to
Philadelphia and didn't mind having bis
passage pnid as far as Wilmington.—
With this lucid explanation he bade the
Marshal "good evening" just as the train
was moving off. It is said that the offi
cer muttered something uot very com
plimentary to the prisoner and his fu
ture state of beatitude.— Salisbury {Md).

For tho Herald.
AN INDEPENDENT CHURCH.
Mr. Editor:—T he smoke has cleared
away, and we find ourself calm, compos
ed, and unhurt by tbe fearful discharge
oi artillery brought to bear upen us by
"Independeace." We are happy to be
able to inform the honored personage
that bis canon was loaded with (instead
of grape and canister as he supposed)
ly a blank cartridge. A loud report,
a great smoke, but no damage done.
"Independence," has not proven him
self to be independent as his signature
would imply. He has become depen
pent upon an independent church. We
did not, or do we think the readers of
the Herald understand us to attempt
to deny the possibility of an indepen
dent church existing, that "Indepen
dence" advocated. It would be folly for
us to attempt to refute tbe idea of tbe
existence of an independent church,
when wo have living witnesses of that
existence. Let us consider tbe differ
ence between the existing independent
churches, and the one that existed only
in the shallow brain of "Independence."
Tbe existing independent churches have
a certain form and mode of worship, and
the members of tael, church conform to
their form and mode. In that church
their isn© "sprinkling and dipping" no
"standing and kneeling to pray,' and
"reading their prayers from a prayer
book;" out tacli me in bei' is united on
one certain form with one head to guide
and direct it. "Independence's" church
would bo composed of all sects and de
nominations, some standing and some
kneeling to pray—aod ethers reading
their prayers from a prayer book.—
Wbat a sight for the nineteenth century!
Oh the harmony and congeniality ! It
would be a model for a\l Christian
churches to pattern after. We think
"Independence s'' church would be bet
ter named if called a variety church—for
it would be composed of a variety of
sects and denominations. The church
question is too deep (wo fear) for "Inde
pendence's" brain,—hence the confusion
of his ideas. "Independence"
church controlled by the conscience of
its members. God forbid that the mem
hers consciences should be like his, or it
would be sorry church. "Indepen
dence's" mind takes a wild flight, and
pays a flying visit to all the different
sects and denominations to prove their
is no hurmony or congeniality existing

a few words to "Unity."—
He asks the question "why are not all
churches as one?" We answer they are
in faith and belief, and all are foun
ded upon one rock and that is Christ.—
All institutions must have form and
discipline to govern them. Ever since
the confusion of languages, men have
been of different minds. When tho hu
man family becomes of one mind, to
hear, think and see alike, then "Unity"
will realize bis (grand) idea of church
»vnity. If he will hold on to this mortal
life until the millenium, it will then be
realized und not until then.

For the Herald.
Mr. Editor:—I am glad to see that
"Unity" has placed his name upon the
Roll-Book and himself upon the turf.
lain glad to be able to leave the con
test in tbe hands of Buch able competi
tors, for you may rest assured that "J"
will contest every inch of tho ground
with him and I think "Unity" will find
him a 'foeman worthy of his steel' (pen).
It is an old saying and true, that when
"Greek meets Greek then comes the tug
of war; they have met and I am in
hopes they will fight it out on "that line
if it takes all summer."
"Unity" modestly asks not to he criti
cised too severely, to which petition I
trust that my friend "J" will not turn a
deaf ear. I am not given to criticism
myself. But if I was ever so disposed, I
certainly could tiud nothing in his ar
ticle to call for, or that would admit of
criticism; he only asks to be let ©lone
that he may worship God beneath his
own grape vine and peach tree. A
modest request, indeed, and one I thin
"J" and "the rest of mankind" will
grant him. But, Mr. Editor, if he is
"going it on his own hook" with his
conscience as his guiding star, I'll ex
tend to him the parting hand, for I'm
not going that wasy.
"Which I wish to remark,
And my language Is plain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain.
That Kenton shinee is peculiar."
