For the Tisks. A Mu'i Fall Hay be Ocd'S Call. Dr. Ilu^isi itf!ut wesks ' Ti hrs" struck tbo key n^i ia every christian heart whrn ho said * lhc ciuee of Clyivt would tuffer no bsck-d f.otn the fell of a Minister of this oounfy." vi vastly more influence end int-lli* I gence have before this had a do ?nfell witbr out hiudraoce to the cause which all chri? tiaas bn*e so much el heart. Did Beecher'e ero k'dnMj injure the Presbyterian Church ? It ec :ou almost a travesty t> ci'e this as a oowpari*when ?e consider the groat diffe'saow ia the men, ia|tf|aatuaUy. ' ? Pome people eaanot stand prosperity, end adHlaiion. It was notably so with this man. liis downfall ctmr, to some, like a clap of thunder from a e'esr sky. It may be, God gives woman a keener intuiti.u than man, for truth compels uie to own I was not at all surprised ; nor am I cast down. I have no fears that God's purpom^ will be frustrated or His plan of re leinpt o-? chang.d I rarucMly hope this will be a lesson to all churches, of whatsoever denomination, lo ntiL Ihftir Irnet in ft'wt nn.l nnt in man I - " ? I honor the noblo calling ol a'l ministers, regardle-8 of sect i-r ereei ; but bis life must conform to his preaching. What is a preaohcr but a tnan? Thej are no an;?ls. They, n> doubt, have the same trial*, strugbles and many of the temptations that we have. 1 have much more confidence in the sincerity of any man's religion, wbo will frankly own be lias a hard time to keep Aimer// straight. Let us draw a veil of chaity over the errors of this obco seemingly prosperous minister. If his call tu preach was from Qod,audhcis made of the right kind of materitl, he will rise from these troubles a better man. Ha will ren'ise bis own weak* Bess and that it is possible at times for even ? prcaohcr to sin, and will go right to the foot of the cross for help, comfort and guidance. There he w>ll hod sure help, which nevtrfail*! To his former adorers I cay. take heart of grace, you wiiL find this (to you) heavy stroke of fate, a Xieising in disguise. Your k church was getting olf the right track, and j I consider your miniver largely, but 1101 altogether, responsible f ?r it. My heir' goes out in sympathy for his ajed Father, a good, truo christiau, 1 believe. Wrong is wrong, 1 don't believe in that weak, silly sentimentality wlncu tries to tnako wrong seem right. To sustain a man in his badness, even though ho be your own Hesh and blood, is not a viituc but a weakness. This applies wiih just hs much lorce even though he be or may have been your pastor. I suppose sometimes it is quite possible for evon a minister to be n prodigal. 1 am sorry to say there is a kind of superstitious halo thrown around the heads of most prodigals, doub'less originating from tho divmo parab e or the human corruption of it; only people forget how that prodigal son, after saying 'I will arise," did really aritt, leaving behind him his riotous living, his husks and swine. He goes to liis father, humb'od and poor; his fathor welcomes, loves and forgives him. But most prodigal sons bring thoir husks and their swine with them, nor ever condescend to eay "1 have sinned." Thry appear neithor hungry nor naked, but quite cheerful and comfortable. It never I occurs to some of them to forsake their sins, nor feel any more penitence than is picturesque or convenient to show. Let us hope this ministerial prod;gal will be ns honest in his professions as the prodigul of whom the .Master tells. L. C. J. For the Times. jMh. Editor: I inteudod to let my pen rest awhile and devote more lime to my little farm, but the stir in political circles, _ Couuty meetings, and a big convention at Ithe S ate capital, all iu March, loo, have brought on auothcr spe.l of that old disease, caecclhfn scribtndi. llow is it, two years ago it was cousidered by some, u serious olfensc t? hold a poliiical convention in March. ' Mars, Iroiu which our third mouth derives its name, was tho Romau G id of war; hence, as thcro is a warfare beiug waged against Gov. Tillman, it is supposed 10 bo legitimate to hold conventions, iuvokc the aid of the Rom in deity, or do any thing else that will contribute to his overthrow. Two yctrs ago the convention in Columbia was the result of a popular uprising of the fanners and other laboring classes, to consult ns to the matter of reform in the I State government. We claimed then and still claim the right to assemble peaceably to consult upon nutters pertaining to our interest mid welfare. The only error poramitied w is the nomination of Governor and Lieu't. Governor, which you know 1 opposed and voted agiinst. Now it would be inconsistent in me not to grant the suae right to those composing the late couvention. Is this not auco for the gander, friend Stokes? Rut, Alas, I have just been informed that (lie r te.tiug in Columbia bas nominated a full / /ate ticke?, thereby committing a more grievous error than that of two years ago. Rut an Tidman is the fly in the ointment just now, I want to say something about liini and his adminisiration. 1 wisli to sta'c iu the outset, (lest 1 be charged with beiog prejudiced in his favor) tluit I had no peculiar attachment for Ti liitan, I voted for him because lie was the representative of principles iltaiJI chorishc I. 1 would have as freely totod for Knrlo ha I lie been in Tilltnau's place. Again, 1 voted for him because he tfaij the choice of a majority of the people, f *ujs?*^ge no o. c wilt deny our Governor to the benefit of the old adage. "Gtje the devil his due," \ Tjllman did wrong in urging the nomination of state officers in the convention. Rut . o more criminal than those who voted for State officers in the late convention. Ho has p nimiRcd errors, no doubt, during his aduiinis:riitioii. Rut 1 ask, who could fill me governor s oincc iwo years witnoui doing something wrong, confronted by the press of the State, charged with madcc aforethought, and in his rear a thousand bloodhounds thirsting for his blooi. In fnct would it not have been moie manly and magnanimous in his political enemies, after he was duly elected by the people ? to have extended to him their aid atid sympathy, than to have combined to make his administration ?. fa lure. Ail the governors South Carolina ever had combined, never had to carry such a load of abuse, ridicule and misrepresentation as lie bns borne. II Nothing has beon left uudone that a mali{ gaunt spirit, prejudice and hatred could I jflirut to accomplish this purpose. His I have been magnified, bis language I nMvonstrucd, and bis motive* impugned. 1 The beautiful mautlc of cbari'y has not been I cost about his shoulders, but is trailing in | the dust at the feet of bis enemies. | C. 13.
