AL'I.KX HAM KY, U0 .Superintendant. ty I welter From Profs. Voting and llooii. ' Editors 2Vftv? and Banner: pi in reading the article under the above ca iption in your last issue, the first ques- jy ion that presents itself, as we think na- ,f(, orally, is what was the writer's object in pc ssuiuing the signature of "Erskine ?" Joes he wish to come before the coniinu- th xity us the exponent of the feelings and [ fa, dews of the Literary Institution which iJ0 )cars this honored name? If .so, we|m, hink lie would have done well to delay j ni; mtil he was called to this work. j i,j The second question is, what does the 0t communication mean? to The Spirit of it is l'alse, and, as such, we tb tondenin it. The pre-eminence which i Iri he writer gives the denomination whose Wi lefense he assumes, in matters of "intel- j igence, refinement and education," de-ij] ,'otion to her own "institutions of learn- Sp ng," Ac., is vain and arrogant, and as ar tuch, wo despise and repudiate it. Who an jan read such sentences as the following as .vithout disgust??"Who doubts that to here is more intelligence, refinement UjC uid education to be fouud in thatdenoin-1 nation [the Seceder] than in any .it her in the county, or in all the others nit together?" "Js it surprising that tuch should be the ease when it is borne 1 n mind that this is the only dcnomina- 1 ion in the county, or I misfit say in the ' j ip-couutry, who have institutions of ] earning worthy the name." * ? * * "I so hink it is only'nocessary to cull atten;ion to the men who constitute that jody" the trustees of the De La Howe estate, "to enable any to determine where (U :lie preponderance of brains is to he iounu." * '* "In conclusion, Messrs. Edi- ^ tors,*I would say all this clamor is dutr' m a large degree, t<> envy on the part of Cf| Lhose who, if tliev were to speak out the truth, would bo obliged to admit that the Associate Reformed Church embraoes within its bounds, with a few exceptions, r, all of the most intelligent and best edu- ,, cated men in our County." We are sure that, whether intended to accomplish such an end or not, tlio set- , ting forth of claims so self-conceited, and so odious in their comparisons, is calcu- T lated to place the Associate Reformed Church in an unfair light before the eyes of her sister denominations in the coun ty. Do you believe it was written by a 1 friend of the Associate Reformed Church? j.'If so, save us from the zeal of such a V friend! Does itfuot rather suggest to you J? the language of the patriarch Isaac, "The . voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are [.J the hands of Esau." Does it not speak good, while evil is intended ? * The third and tinal question that we { will allow ourselves to raise at this timo in reference to the article is, why this ef- .. fort to raise divisions and jealousies j? among tho religious denominations of the j' county? Does the writer expectjto gain a point by creating strife ? So far as we . know, the battle for reform and honest : government has hitherto been fought on . its own merits. Whv now turn aside, to. degrade and drag religion into the mire of politics ? , We feel safe in saving that when our ^ denomination engaged, in common witli * other citizens of the county, in the political struggle of 1876, we did it with the. '? spirit found in the reply of tho great **; French seaman, Duquesne, to the proud H and bigoted Louis XIV, "When I fought u for your majority, I never thought of , what might be your religion." In making this notico of said article, ^ we are confident we express tho sentiment of the denomination of which we are members. _ j. x. young, = wm. hood. ; Letter From Rev. W. JL. Pressljr.

R. lax I J will endeavor to give a few of the objec;ions to this schema; first, we are tool |?oorto burden ourselves with thisaddi-l ional tax, and, secondly, it is wrong in principle. As to the lirst objection, it is! oneeded on good authority that six millsj, s all that property can bear and prosper, j Sow if this scheme is carried, let us see1' low our tax account will stand. Our State uul ceunty tax is now ton and a half nillsand every indication points to a timber rate. The sehenie proposes to, J evv a tax of thirty thousand dollars pay- ( ible in twenty years with interest at 7 [? >er eent.?only the inteiest to be paid for. s he first ten years, and the principal in j a on annual installments for the next ten j i 'cars. Tho taxable property of the j, mvnship is about three hundred and (] liirty tnoussand dollars. To pay the in- j crest on this thirty thousand will enuifo an annual tax of six mills for ten r earsv This added to the ten and a half 0 Stale and county gives us a tax of sixteen f nillu 1 IllflVI!

London, July i:i.?The treaty of peace i< sontains cixty clauses, and is reported to c >e the longest ever known. A Berlin lispatch says that during the discussion relative to the boundaries of the Bajazid Valley, the Russians suddenly claimed ,he pass of Sewin. The claim was disallowed. _ At Saturday's sitting of the Congress, liismarck moved that a supplementary ionferenoe bo held next autumn either at ? Constantinople or Berlin : but Lord Sal- c sbury declared his inability to accede to my proposal interfering with the imme- 0 hate submission of tho papers to the fl English Parliament, and the motion was , hrown out. Tho Government is bnsj with tho dcails of tho military and civil establishnents in the Island of Cpprus.

The rhoicc of Chlbst \Ie.i.?er.s Editors: I desire to snv a word in regard to the i reference of clubs, as to those men U'lid hall represent their immediate sections if the county. I think I do not err, when say, that it is theseutimcnt of the people o have our representatives selcetecl from liffcrent localities of the county. Whilst admit that such is the case, I am not an dvocate of such a sentiment unless the nen sent from those sections are the peers if any other five that could be chosen romotie locality or perhaps two. .But, inco such an idea as this prevail*, let us co how it is to be carried out with jusice to the different sections. . No club should indicate what its prcerenco is',/or a candidate othe.i than the me it proposes to send, for example, Abicvillo club should not indicate its hoico for a man in Lowndcsville, until jowndcsville has spoken out, and so on or those sections delirious of securing oprescntatives. Then if Ijowndesville r Ninety-Six or any other club, puts a nan in nomination, is it not tue neignt if presumption for Abbeville or Cedar Springs or Bordeaux to vote for another wirty who is not the choice of those clubs, t seems lo my mind that this voice ir. a Allonal one. Again, if Ninety-Six nas ndlcated a preference foi^i certain candiIsito, how win that club expect him to be upported by one whose choice for a repcsentutive is opposed by Ninety-Six? "his would soom to be swopping oiY men tdiieh I am bitterly opposed to, it being . species of electioneering, which I do iot believe Will result in good. But, this oines from the fiict^ that we are to have epresenlativci from different localities, ,nd tliis .being the case, fespcet should Ki had unto tlie choice of those sections, f ihis were not so, then the different loalitics would not be in the least benelltd, for they would have those to reprcent them who were not their choice and hey would be left in the same condition -s if all the representatives were*sent I'Ain ntio nliion Tlioan vinu'u tirr* linvnfl ntirely upon the fact that five ropresonntivgs arc to be elected l'rom different eetions of the county.
