Dividing the Tax.
The House has agreed to divide
the tax?one half payable at tin
usual time, the other half in August,
The Senate has not yet acted upon
the measure. We cannot see that
this change will he of any advantage,
We believe that it will result to out
injury. The Legislature will not
hesitate to levy a heavy tax when
it is to he paid in instalments. The
farmers are better prepared to pay
in lull now than they will be to pay
onedialf ol it next August, and w<
believe they preler it.

/Arrested for Forr?ry.
It is stated that I)r. T. J. Moore,
a brother-in law of Senator John J,
Patterson, was arrested and placed
in jail, last week, in Columbia, on a
charge of forgery. Fillebrowno. the
chief clerk of -O tflll ptroller Iloge, di*?
counted in September last a pole nl
Moore's endorsed by Patterson,
amounting to $2,500. Patterson do
clares his signature a forgery, and
Fillebrowne has had Moore crrested,
Tii.ro litis been bad blood between
Moore and Patterson for several
months, and .Moore lifts lrepn threat*
cuing to disotose gome damaging
lacls about Honest John in relation
to briliery in the senatorial election
and other matters. Patterson is underatood
to be the instigator of the
arrest, for the purpose of fiightening
Moore from his threatening disclosures.
We would like for the disclosures
to be made. It might unlold a tale

A correspondent ol the Charleston

The truth is that Hfoore and Patterson,
for what reason I know not,
unless it be that Honest John imagined
that he had paid him enough
for services rendered, have been at
dagger's point for a month or two.

1 "jpiaying the Devil."
i
, The Legislature has before it at
t this time about twenty-five hills to j
, amend and repeal different sections ,
, of tho General Statutes, and any |
number of other schemes of class j
legislation. The originators of some i
of these hills are actuated by petty j
spite, and Wish to cut down the fees :
of lawydft, and public ^officers, but j
at the same time increase their own !
pay. Other?, have a grander object J
in view ; viz: to protect themselves j
and the thieving clasp generally.?
When a body, composing the lawmaking
power pf a Si^te, attempts
to repeal one of the most important
sections in the ciimiual code, it is
' not only alarming to the honest property
holders, hut indicates a wretched
st^te of morals. The following |
is the section alluded to :
"Chap. 138, See. 2. It shall be law- !
fill for #ny ejlijjpn to arrest anv per- j
son In the night time, by speh efficient
means as the darkness and the
, probability of his escape may render
necessary, even it his life should he \
r thereby taken. In cu?es where he ha- j
committed a felony, or has entered a j
dwelling house with evil intent, or !
1 has broken, or is breaking into, an ;
( out-house, with a view to plunder, j
j or lias in Ins possession stolen prop j
ertv, or, being uinler circumstances !
which raise just suspicion of bis de? j
sign to steal or to commit some folo- j
> nv, (lees when he is hailed.
The'repeal of this spcliop would
deprive every citizen of protecting
himself, his family, ami his property.
It would virtually amount to a legalized
license 10 steal and burn with
impunity. The cotton fields of our
fanners would become the fat pas- i
' lures ol jpidnight thieves, $ruj the j
1 property of no citizen would be safe. J
' The ICev. Henry Ward Ueecher in a |
recent sermon remarked :
r
l,Jf (he laws do not protect n man j
' in defending his property i If a man j
when his house is entered, is forced
1 to lie still in bed, and say to the i
thief, "Take my watch,and my wife's 1
jewels, only don't take mv life and |
lot me not take yours"?it is an in- j
vitatlon and an encouragement to
every sncakvthiof and every twinler?
thief. No man is lit to keep house !
who is not fit to defend it hv his I
right hand and arin, with anything
that he can seize. His house is his |
fort, and let the man who enters it i
be made to ho regard it."
I sav I bat it is a Christian dut y f??i
men to fortify their houses. All the
houses on my street have been enter*
ed?some of them time and again.?
It isimnunitv?impunity founded on
cowardice?impunity founded on a (
bad interpretation of Scripture, that
makes it so easy for OtOU 10 r?k !
houses and escape.
Xts Oood Effect*.
The triumphs of the Democrats,
in the late elections in the Northern
and Western States,, is alarming to
many of the leading Republican
journals. Some of the most influen- j
tial journals in the West are leaving '
the partj'j assigning as their main j
reason the hopeless corruption of
their party leaders. The Chicago
Stoats chief organ of tho
German Repuhltunns of Illinois, thus
announces its departure from the J(e?
publican party: "The causes from
"which the Republican party rose
'have long ceased to exist. l?y its
"stupidity and short-sightedness" in

r/'o the Afuociqte Reformed C/iufe/t :
Tl?c love and adnurulioti we Itavp
ever maintained for our denotpina*
pun have grown with our growth
and strengtliened with our strength,
which a few ypras past would have
been al|)p)Hp impossible to changed.
For the A. |(, Church in docliine,
government and discipline (when
duly administered in mildness) was
esteemed by our fathers and professed
by ourselves as the best and ptt?
rest church under the broad canopy
of heaven; and the very name will
long remain dear to our hearts and
precious to our memories, Hut when
Shiloh and Tirzah congregm ions were
united together by twenty
ministry, for their Pastor whom they
loved as a good tpiujstpr t?f t||p gospel,
to he suddenly removed, hy the
tiisi Presbytery, from one of his
churches, against his anil thcjr pnits
Hontj ^yithout judicial investigation
or conviction of prime, was an act
too to be ffufyretf, fpr jt
wqs (i grieyou* wound inflicted upon
them in tint house of their fiicnds.
The wounds of our enetnies are cruel.
]?tit oh ! how grievous are the
wound1* of our friends! History infortjjs
iih that the great C'tcsar endined
$ score of wounds from his
enemies j b|jt pup only from hjs
friend lliulus w;p? sufficient to overcome
him.
Since the freedom ol' the press,kppt
within proper hounds, is protected
l?y law, for the publication of current
facts for the information of the
people, surely the first l'lesbytery
opght not to object ta have their official
acts fairly set before the peo?
pie. Hitherto, resting our cause upon
truth, carefully relating the circumstances,
characters and acts as
set forth, portrayed and delineated,
we arc opposed to their partial administration
which ciinull-* tlx' !< -
J-J"-- *"v
hors of a wotjj jpg minister, aleiiiates
the me in hers of Shiloh, ami expels
the congregation of Tii/.ah. For by
their acts they have forced the large
congregation of Tirzah to join the
I'reshyterians, have hroken Shiloh
congregation, and have compelled
Kev. D. I'. Robinson to pieach to
other denominations, or to travel beynj)i]
the limit* of the first I'reshy'
teiy. Instead of the Apostolic injunction
"Rebuke not an elder, hut
entreat him as a father, and eomit
him especially worthy of double honor
who labors If) the won) and doptrine,"
they summoned him tnaUuiol
j extraordinary inceliu^n at Winn?bo<
ro time and again. And, finally,
with closed doors they ended their
trial of the innocent preacher. For
hundreds of members belonging to
Shiloh and Tirzah, w ilh annual Reports
during |,|* Ivyrmty years ministry
are living "witnesses how holily
and justly and unhlamahly he behaved
himself among them while he
exhorted and comforted and charged
cvejy opp of them, as a lather doth
his children, that they would walk
worthy of (>od alio hath called them
unto His kingdom and glory."
Regardless of the wishes of Tirzah,
and of the earnest entreaties
contained in the Memorial from Shiloh
praying them not to remove their
pastor (loui them, grave considcras 1
lion was given to the semi-written 1
statements of a certain favored par- 1
tv ; for whose sake, although they !
unanimously voted him clear'of nil j'
censure, they proceetied inithu ill) to 1
remote tlii>* man of unclouded repi,- 1
lation from the bosom of his friends,
ami this milliliter of gigantic inleU '
Icct from the house ol (mm) whole 1
many of hi* most beautiful sermons I
had been delivered. For some time
Presbytery attempted to supply the J
vnenney hy secBiou* of their own.
Hut soon bottoming weary |?y distant
journey* from home, they carefully
sought out a ininiater trorn the seeond
1'ieshy lery to take charge of the
dismembered congregation and to
occupy llobtnson'a pulpit for ever.
If Job in the anguish of his soul
would exclaim "miserable comforters
are ye all if fchiloh ihould he broken,
and Tirzah should leavo ihe first
Presbytery by their unkind jurisdiction
towards them ; may not one who
was the greatest sulfcier ot thein all
exclaim against such uonduct as being
partial and not travel out of the
territory of truth and receive plhj
and not censure from them. I hit it
