(Vfifm, the ?t>pai 5.4atastitutQn.) o' re the trial of Dr J. G tiongby he ecclesiastical court on chargee of hoXation and conduct un becoming a:ministr. No One has forgotten the general regre over the announcement of Dr. Armstrong' conviction and the subsequent sentence o the Bishop silencing his eloquent voice fo the space of five years. ' i 'e sequel to that memorable trial an " Sentence may be read to-day. Dr. Arn Strong will never preach again. Since his conviction he has been in th Insurance business. Although suspended he was still a minister. In Augusta a short time ago he attende< an insurance banquet. It is claimed tha ho was intoxicated there. He denied it however, and his friends denied it. Withii the last two weeks a number of aflidavit have been made to the effect that he wa intoxicated at the banquet, or on the da afterward. These aflidavits were lodgec with the authorities of the church, and ai Episcopal minister wrote to Dr. Armstronf that the only way to avoid another trial wa to renounce the ministry. Dr. Armstron tit once telegraphed that he would renounc the ministry of the Episcopal Church, ann the Cona. tution's information is that he dic so last Saturday. When spoken to about the matter by Constitution reporter, Dr. Aristrong woul not talk. He was much surprised that th news had gotten out, lie said he ha nothing whatever to say concerning th matter, but would let his course becom public through the regular channel. A gentleman, who is a friend of Di Armstrong, said, however; "The letter has been written. I have no seen it, but I understand that it recites the the doctor desires to relieve the Episcopi Church from any responsibility whatevr for his action, and desires to be relieved o any responsibility to the ministry. TlI reasons for this, I believe, are that lie fel that he could not, with consistency, o with dignity or peace, maintain a rcInatio with a church, the authorities of whie were unfriendly to him, whether ,justly c unjustly. lie felt that lie would have t either renounce the ministry of the chi rc: or leave Atlanta, which lie hadl determine( to make his home, lie chose the forme course." The gentleman was asked what )r. Arm strong would1 do in the tutu re. "I lo not know," lie said. ''For the present, at least, he will continue in th service of the E(itiitaie Insuraune Con pany, which is pleasant aund profitable. think, however, his whole inclination leads him to pu liir speaking, and I believe tha will he his inal a cuurse in somie form O othcr."

The Columbia Record agrees with th Herald in holding that something shoulk he done with the homestead law for tin building up of credit. In talking witl a lawyer from another State sonic timi ago, he remarked that his State, too, had a homestead law, but it was a cheel on fraud, and not an encouragement tc dishonesty. Their law gave a man nc exemption from his honest debts unles. the homestead was set off' before thc debts were contracted, but on the con trary prohilited him from setting asidc to his family more property than a lixed amount, andl then trading up1oI his own appearance and rel)utattion for wealth, and thereby defrauding the ignorant. In our State a man may give everything ho hats to his wife, live like a lord, and when men, ignorant of this secret an rangeinent, demand payment for just d'bts, may defeat their claims ont the ground that he hits nothing. And even if he has neglected to do this thing, our law still says he can keep ; I,,500 before he pays a (Lollar on his most sacred obli gations. The fact is that we have en tirely misunderstood this law. It had its origin in the \Vest, and was in the nit ture of a bankrupt law. Mcn who had lost everything in the East frequently wcnt to a Western State, took up a gov ertnment ''section,'' cleared up the wilderness, and built them a home. in the enjoyment of this holne they were protected from the rapacity of foreign creditors; and this was right.. Bit these conditions do not exist ini South Caroli na, and we have nto need of the law as it nowv operates, if a man meets miisfor tune, aiid gives up (everiythinfg to his creditors, they shioil forgive him whtal lie cannot pay.

Breok enridge in Richmond, and onEr Sunday afterncon we were sitting alone in front of the Hlallar( hotel. I asked him, if not unpleasant, it would be gratifying to have him give an account of his escape after the down fall of tlie Confederacy, and how it occurred t hat Mr. Benjamin was separated from h im. Ho replied that he would cheer.. fully do so, and said that after following Mr. )avis some distance on the retreat he became satisfied that Mr. Davis had selected the most dangerous route, and to continue under his guidance, which he lersistecl in, capture would be certain and inevitable. "I decided (o pursue a differ ent course, and, taking with me some trusty men and as few as possible, left Mr. Davis and his escort and struck off for the llorida coast. Soon afterward Mr. Davis, as I predicted, was captured. I met with some soldiers of the Federal army. They did not recognize me, and nothing specially occurred to cause me to apprelend my arrest or safety. I passed a S(uaud of them in a gallop, but no demon stration was made against me, nor did they seem to he aware who I was." lie then said: ''aving been familiar in early life to hunt and travel in the night in Kentucky, I recalled the experience of my youth, and adapted myself to change of circumstances, traveling incognito and with a few faithful and fearless followers. in a short time, with nothing specially perilous during the journey, we reached the coast in safety. \We then procured a small boat and a supply of provisions, which were easily obtained, as I was sup plied with sonic gold, and with a small pocket compass wlich I always carried with me, and with .1. Taylor Wood and t wo others in an open boat we startcel for ti' coast of Cuba. In two days and three nights of the most delightful and propi tious weather we landed within one mile of =t he island, our only guide being my pocket t comipass. Capt. Wood fell overboard dur ing the voyage, but was soon hauled in, nal was not the least disconcerted or al,irmc:l. lie was one of the bravest of muen. After reaching Cuba I found friends and accommodations; remained l there a brief time and then went to Paris atnd back eventually to Canada. The bal atice you are no doubt familiar with." "W' ere was Mr. Benjamin?" I asked. "ITe remiined with mne only a day after lea ing Mr. )avis. He was aremarkable nuian, couhl adapt himself to any society or circumstances; could speak French, Gertman and other languages fluently.
