I ? ?! ! 11 ! ? ? r.i'. rxga u wtmmmm The Press and Banner. Br HUGH WILSON &W.C.BEXET) _ J Wednesday, April 30, 1879.[ ftcv. Mr. .Martin's Letter. In reply to our correspondent "En-ji qmrcr" wnose communication appt-ariu j in our last week's issue, the Rev. James;' L. Martin of the Abbeville Preshvtcrian, ] Church writes a long letter which We J publish in other columns, and which ourj readers will peruse with interest and we J [ )iope with profit. With regard to what!' Mr. Martin says about "Enquirer's" lot-!? tor we have nothing to say unless It be to 1 compliment Mr. Martin on the good;j temper and moderation ho manifests whilst discussing the statements of "En-1( quirer"?a frame of mind in happy keep- , ing with the urbanity displayed by "En- i? quirer'' himself. Theological questions are "kittle cattle to deal With,'" and po-|: lemical discussions are too often remark- j1 ablo chiolly for their acrimony and, ( strange to say, their uu-Christian spirit.]' Such a discussion as has been begun in j t our columns and has been thus far con-J ducted so fairly and pleasantly will work ; 1 no harm to the cause of religion, will 11 rather work for good in tho minds of all j1 who desire to see in these latter days ex- j 7 amplcs of that apostolic charity which 1t was the conspicuous ornament, and in-j< deed tho well-known badgo of the prim- j itive church. Wo reserve to ourselves ! tho right to cut short the discussion as far J as this journal isconcerned, just as soon ; as "the old Adam" obtrudes himself into j the communications, bringing with him i nny root of bitterness. A fresh, gentle. j wholesome broeze, come from what > quarter it may, can only do good to the plants in the ecclesiastical vineyard ; but a theological tornado, fitted onlv to uproot the vines and lay tho fences fiat with its violence, we have great objection to, and to such we will not wittingly grant an inlet in these columns. As to what Mr. Martin savs about the j P>-ess and, Banner's report of tho pro- : ceedings of the South Carolina Presbytery, when wo reached that portion ] wherein he says that he "immediately concluded nn onemj' hath done this," wo immediately concluded that we would ro- j, ply at length and satisfy him that we are j .no "enemy" of hira or of the Presbytery j ?albeit we nre opposed, to an extent be- \ yond which he himself cannot go, to "re- j ligious controversy through the secular | newspapers" as being "of all forms ! tho one most distasteful to" us. Cut niter reading the next sentence in which he says, "After reflection/I concluded that with one or two verbal alterations, it (i. e. our report) could still bo endorsed J by me as verbatim,"?after reading this it < , required no "reflection" on our part to J see that we had no controversy with Mr. t Martin nor with the Presbytery. We ac- j cept with pleasure Mr. Martin's "ver- ' bal alteration" of "might bo regarded" J into."are properly regarded,"?only add- 1 ing that we did notsuj.poso there was so j much virtue in "might," a word which J our reporter used having regard to the j c grammatical construction of a report'* which was cast in the narrative form. | f It will give us pleasure to accede to;'{. Mr. Martin's request to publish the letter I <J signed "Prosbyter" which appeared in j j; lust Friday's J^eics and Courier. Wop Khali nrint it in our next week's issue, i j The SupremefConrt?Important De-jti cisious. ^ The Supremo Court of this State has * lately had occasion to decide two very o Important cases, involving largo interests ^ of a public more than a private nature, o The eases referred to were test cases, represent&tive of two large classes of cases ? likejy to be affected respectively by two g Acts passed at the last session of our Leg- n Islature. Tho first case, Williams r.f. it Gaillard, Treasurer of Charleston coun- ,, ty, decided the constitutionality of the | ti Act passed "to facilitate tho collection of] ? taxes." by which the bills of the Bank | it tl of tho State were forbidden to be receiv- pi *d in payment of taxes. The second case, Tho State ex Relatione Branch vs. u .J. L. Leapheart, State Treasuror, nffirms ? the constitutionality of tho 19th section of tb? Act entitled "An Act to make Appropria! ions to meet tho ordinary ex pen- a *os of the State government," which section bad for its purposo tho application of ? the money in the Treasury to tho pay- b ment of the interest on tho valid bonds pf tho State. Tho affirmative decision of the Supreme Court in this latter case had a most appreciatory effect on the c money market. Within twenty-four [j hours after tho opinion was published, State bonds rose in value ten to twelve {j per cent. It would bo difficult to overestimate t tho importance of both these decisions I and the value of both these acts. With j ruierviivu fcu vutmi, iiur cuuuiv iias wiuoc ^ for congratulation that one of our repre- <i aentativet^James II. Rico, Ksq., is gntit- g led to much credit for tlio passago of "Act to facilitate the Collection of Tixes."' f, Wo have information that the bill at one | Jj timo had been indefinitely postponed; ii and would have been lost but for the!1 wiving watchfulness of Mr. Itice, wbojt promptly calTod attention to the impor- J tanceof the bill anckby his active exer- d tions was largely instrumental in indue- " ing the House of Representatives to re- e consider tbo act and pass the bill.' In *thl?, Mr. Rico certainly rendered our %mmon wealth most valuable service. * "Amenl'' | Our energetic and facetious co-tempo- t rary, the Baptist Courier, pleasantly re- j fors' to our bantering paragraphs of a j wecK or iwo ago aoom irre courier s anv- i ing "Amen Corner* all over its editorial J columns." Ho tells us how and where i and when he learnt tho meaning of ' "Amen." The reverend Courier mistook i our drift entirely. We did not question ' his knowledge of the meaning of this pious ejaculation. Our words implied? only implied?soine surprise as to the 1 use be was making of it. All Christians \ and Jews, not to mention Masons, know 1 the meaning of ''Amenand we believe as a rule the vast majority of them use it 1 with a proper regard to time and place, i It may be our fault but wo cannot imagine how an editor can write "Amen 1" (with a point of exclamation after it), read it over and maybe correct it in the proof, and then have it printed in cold ink; so that it appears in the editorial columns as an interpolation in some communication somewhat in this fashion "[Amen !?Ed.]." * Tbe Utile Law. We publish the second niiSallmeut of the Southern Presbyterian Review's article on the Maine Law. It would be pleasant and we trust profitable to have a temperate discussion of this mode of legislation and of its applicability to South 'Carolina.

Thirdly I have heard of the ?l> CalvlnlHlo Methodists who-aro('alvln- of jut not Presbyterians, nnd who in tho m iwenty years have Increased In greater of > than any other denomination In Eng- sii (171 per cent.) Fourthly, I have heard of j HI tontroversies in the past, and nowadays, i th ic "Established Church of England," and th (10 Episcopal Church of America; ono uii i?l contending that tho Thirty-Nino Artl-1 ty ire Calvintotic. the other that they are be Inian; butsuroiy, "Enquirer" will not I th t that the former are Presbyterians, (hi lly I have heard of the Reformed Eplsco- to ,'liurch, which Is Calvinistic bnt not Pros- rli rlan.

The tmo nclence f ' Astronomy hns been in tlie stars, ever I nee "the heavens first declared the glory of c od. nnd the Armament shewed his handlork," notwithstanding the differences that c ive existed, and thnt now exist, amongst ] tronoinersof the past ages nnd of the pre- 1 nt. The true science of Cleologr has been ^ corded In the different strata or the earth, er since "God created the heavens nnd the j rth," notwithstanding the dlirerences, that t ive existed, that now, or that may In the i ture exist amongst geologists. So too, the f lie science of Theology, of Ecclesl- s ogy. of Anthropology, and of Ks-js atology, has been Imbedded in the strata of | ?i e Divine Revelation from "Genesis to'/ jvclatlon," notwithstanding the differences |\ at. have existed I hut now, or that may in 1 fnmnvltf n tiwmnruf. Thf'iilrMrluliK- ; \ Thus it appears that when ''Enquirer" says I j lil? being unquestionably true," he hasjji fercnce lo "a fad" of the second specks, i Facts that are not ft ids?so that, in the} :ht of the ahovc exposition, we should ud?this being unquestionably not true;" d of course hla corollaries are simply uon [Uittir. 0 \s for "Enquirer's"apparent proposition to , elde the question of "Calvinism" and 'resbytorianism" v*. all other"lsms." by the J ites which he thinks he can count by "the llllons," It occurs to me, 1st, That this Is t operly a question which In its last analysis j ould be referred to the category of ltibllcal i terpretation. -2dly? Not being familiarh th this style of settling theological ques-jj tns, 1 should prefer to wait until I can ex- j line into its merits. For it strikes meat st to he like the verdict of a petit-Jury?a j f ry uncertain thing, until tlie noses are ( mi ted. Then too, i confess to some misglv- r g, for when I look at the interrogative form t he Solicitor's argument under t his head t Is very manifest, that, he liiisucontident/cxetation, that the verdict of this Jury, conised of "liie millions," will he indeed In his f ror. Whilst I. us the prisoner at the bar, j Ink I am entitled to the verdict. For there a dim recollection, floating through mrj Iwt, that I have sometimes seen these "mil-; c tns" footed upand majority counted for my j le. Can it be. that there is a "Turning t >ard" (as the darkey enlis it) manipulating | j r Eeelesiastlca Statistics?

At first (before the fall) there were ontwo vqtes, and both were on the side of L mteousness. Suddenly like a .weather- j, ck these two votes changed and voted unanlously on the other side, ami so they and I i eirnosteiity tluctuated. until about A.

When the Son of ? >d came to his own?the majority of "The i itabllshed Church of Judah"?a majority imbered by the "millions"?rejected him. j ) The same rule might be illusirated by a j Terence to the "Seren churches of Asia." ) We remember in one of the early coun- * s?there was a time wlien but one vote . uld bo counted In favor of the Divinity of c irist!

For, 1st, 1 may safely | " illenge, oven my most Implacable foe, to I irge me with ever having nwl "denunela- j h against any 'Evangelical" denomlna- s n of Christians. I have heard of the sol- ? rs of the. Confederacy onec fighting the cny with brickbats. Now of course ' y only resorted to the 'bats, because they ll I exhausted their ammunition, and lost. 1 lr guns and bayonets. Ah 1 have never , been placed in such an awkward dilemma JJ respect to the other denominations, fo I ' ve never yet felt the necessity of brickbat- e [ any of tliem, either from the pulpit or thg floor of any of our Ecclesiastical Jj Lirts. 2dly.

' , .t, ,et us then take the expression, 1st. As It nds. 2dly. As amended 'irst. As It stands. "Enquirer" concludes I: Is wonderful what "sweeping and ungual- s d" conclusions he draws), that the only ference between his August Majesty? n THE l'Ol'E OF NOME C 3 your humble servant?the Pastor ot Abmle Church?Is, that the former regards r ruQlnlanism and other bodies of profess- J ; christians' as wo^ehurehes," whilst I eon- > le "there Is a possibility In favor of their be- '? ; so regarded.

J11 the first place, as the Presbyter!-! ? is not a proselyting church, except so far 1 she proselytes from the world; so on the I ;ier hand, she has " NO A1>OLOOIR8 TO MAKE, either her Calvinism or her Fresbyterlan- a n.

Yes," he replied, "our population has dlnisbed by nearly three hundred In the lust cuty-tlve or thirty years; but our forms Hluee more than they ever did before." Selug asked un explanation or thut, he reed: "There arc three chief reasons, (/ncis r Improved Instruments of agriculture, r mowers, rcupers, tedders, cultivators, <ic., ible us to do more work with less bands, m now an old man, but 1 can cultivate ire land and produce larger crops than en I was twenty-rtve; for now the horses ? 1 oxen do the work, even to the dipping of s potatoes, which Is a great crop wltli us." A second reason is, that we farmers have rned that in order to get a good crop out of , ! wound we must put something into it to ike the crop grow. We make a great dcul :sxing for the soil in various ways that we ver thought of In old times." But the third reason and the greatest, Is s Maine Law. Forty years ugo there were renty drunkards in this place with only tlln hundred Inhabitants, and more than w it number hard drinkers.
