REFORMATION DAT.-Tko Lutheran
Church in Europe aud America cele?
brates the 31st of Ootober in each year
, aa the anniversary of the Reformation,
they alio obierve a semi-oentenniul
jubilee, the last of whioh was oolobtated
in 1867, at whioh time the "Luther
Denkmal," or Lather monument, was
unveiled at Worina. Thia watt the se?
venth centennial, or tho 350th year
after tho inauguration ot the event to be
celebrated. During the year of each
jubilee, medals are otruok in gold, silver
or bronze. A very perfect gold medal,
struck in 1617, the second jubilee of the
Reformation, is now in the eabinet of
Mr. J. 13. Ripley, of Savannah. Reform?
ation Day is regarded as the day, of all
others, upon which the Reformation
oommenoed. The prominence given to
this day ariseB from the following cir?
cumstance: Luther was an Augustinian
monk of recognized learning and elo?
quence. He was appointed minister al
Wittenburg. His parishioners, instead
of complying with tho rules of the
church, in making confession and giving
evidence of penitence in order to ob tail
absolution, presented the Popo's indul
genet s, sola thom by Tetzol, aud upoi
them demanded absolution. Luther re
l\in*n\ to graut it upon suoh grounds.
Tuts caused a strong feeling of oppo
sition to him from high ecclesiastic,i
dignitaries. Thero was an old, dilapi
dated and much battered church in th
little town of Wittenburg. This ohurcl
contained a great store of relics, and wa
the resort of thousand*, who ' flookei
thither in former years. The Pop
granted free indulgence to all who wuul<
visit the old ohuroh-"All Saint!
Church"-on the 1st of November, 1517
Some days or a week previous to tin
day thousands poured into the Hui
town as worshippera. On the 31st t
Ootober-the day preaoding theappok '
ed day-Martin Luther walked to tb
door of tho church, at mid-day, forcin
his way through the crowd as he passe
along. He held ia oue hand a bammui
in the other Borne nails, and under b;
arma parchment scroll. At tho churo
he unrolled his scroll, aud, with a vigo
ons hand, nailed it fast to tho door, *
that all might read it. Ho spoke ton
one, but went as ho hud come. Th
parchment contained the celebrate
Ninety-five Theses. Most of the Nim
ty-flve Theses may be found in D'Ai
bigne's History of the Reformation, ve
I, pp. 2G9-272, Tract Society's editioi
It was read eyer and over again, iu lon
voices, and listened to by thousands. .

down by Luther, and all universities, e
olesiastioal orders, or learned monsiugl
were asked to take it np. Here the co
trovorsies began. This ia regarded
the opening of the Reformation, au
therefore, the Lutheran Church eel

day nearest the 31st/ as Reformata
Day.-Savannah Advertiser.

TH? PsoroSKD II^LEOAL TAX LKVT.
When tho regular Republican;) met in
Convention, at Colombia, they inserted
in their platform a declaration that the
fraudulent debt of the State should not
bo paid. On this pledge they vero elect?
ed, and to this pledge they are bound.
Mr. Noagle won one of that party, aud a
member of the Convention. Ho not
only did not join the boltors, but en?
dorsed the notion of bis party. Ho can?
not avoid his responsibility. It is too
lato for him to attempt to claim that be
ie not pledged with the rest of the regu?
lar Republicans to faithfully carry ont
tho promises made before the p opie.
To attempt to levy tho tax oontemplatod
to ba levied, would be a fraud upon the
public, and no man can afford to make
the attempt to do immediately after the
election what the party to which ho be?
longs pledged itself not to do. Leaving
aside the legal questions involved in the
removal of Mr. Gary, in which wo have
already expressed an opinion, we cannot
conceive that any man who desires to
preserve even tho shadow of a decent
name would venture, iu tho face of the
most earnest protestations that it would
not bo done, to levy a tax, a large part
of which would, if collected and honestly
applied, bo appropriated to an object
declared in tho platform of his own party
to be fraudulent and void.
The letters of Mr. Gary but realize
tho worst, fours of our citizens. Au of
Goer, confessedly pure, hasbeeu removed
for impure purposes, wheu it was found
that be would not sucritioe tho good
uume whiah ho hud earned. Has n more
pliant instrument, boen found in Mr.
Neagle? This is a question of vital in?
terest to our people. Even if tho pro?
posed tax were just, and its levy legal,
our people would not be in condition to
meet its payment. We have already had
ground from na the last dollar which we
can pay. With soil, elimata and other
advantages of natura tn our favor, we
have been prevented from becoming
prosperous by the enormous taxation
which has been imposed upou us, aud
the maladministration of tba Govern?
ment.
The taxes already levied bava been
misapplied. The State has received no
benefit from them. The schools and
asylums attest that the interest of the
people has been saorifloed. The various
departments of government have all
beeu turned against the people. The
frauds which have been committed have
been openly aoknowledgcd by both j
wings of the Republican party. The
poverty of our people proves that thc
Goveromeut of the State has been both
oppressive and unprincipled. We can
staud no more. Additional taxation, if
paid, would be ruin. Will Mr. Neugle,
in spite of his pledges, attempt to raise
Ibis additional tax? We hope not. He
known, us well as does Mr. Gary, that it
would not, if raised, be applied in the
manner in which it is protended that it
will bo applied. He knows that the at?
tempt to raise it would be unwise, unjust
and dishonest. He knows that the peo?
ple ure not iu a condition to meet such u
levy, and he must know that aa attempt
on his part to levy the tax would bo not
only a fraud practicad upon the people,
hut also in direct violation of the law,
whioh never contemplated that he should
perform the duties assigned to Mr. Gary.
To us it seems perfeotly clear that the
law abolishing the office of State Audi?
tor was intended to take effect after the
newly eleoted officers had assumed their
official duties, and not till then. If thu
law does not moan this, thou we ure at a
loss to know what it does mean. If, in
?pita of bis pledges, the platform of bis
party, and the injustice of such a coarse,
Mr. Neagle should see fit to make the
levy, then, as we said yesterday, ''The
people must take their destinies in their
own bauds. It is either this alternative
or utter and indescribable ruin."
[Charlesion Courier.
TEST THE TAX.-The frightful condi?
tion to which the finances of South Ca?
rolina have been brought is exclusively
tho work of tho gang of Northern plun?
derers, who, by the help of thc ignorant
and misguided blacks, have managed to
keep the control of the State ever since
the so-called "reconstruction" begun.
Bat that it has been possible for syste?
matic and unblushing robbery of tho
tux-poyera' money to go on, unchecked,
from year to your, is und ?niubly, to a
certain extout, tho fault of the tax pay?
ers tbemsulves. Possessing all the pro?
perty and intelligence of the State, with
more than two-tilths of I be voting power,
they have tamely submitted to bu made
the victims of a series of outrages, some?
times perpetrated under the forms of
law, butolteu also in direct and palpa?
ble violation of law, ut which the whole
civilized world stood aghast. It is true,
there is amoug them no lack of indigna?
tion at their wiougs, or of individual
willingness to seek redress; but in the
absence of organization or concerted
action of any kind, their threats and
their protests have uliko been treated
with derision and contempt. Time and
again has tho News urged upon the peo?
ple to stand together iu one determined
effort to secure justice for themselves
and punishment for their plunderers;
but, so fur, tba tux-payers have strangely
failed to make any combined or general
resistance to tho exactions of the ring.
But the time bas at last come, wo hope,
when the property-owners of South Ca?
rolina will rise as cue man, and demand
from the courts thut this shameless spoli?
ation should cease. More than a third
of tho State debt is declared, by the
very men who created it, to bo illegal
and fraudulent. And it is to pay tho in?
terest on this debt that a new and ap?
palling tax is to be levied. Ii cannot be
that our people will yield, without a bit?
ter and protracted struggle, to so iniqui?
tous an imposition. In resifting, they
have everything to gain und nothing to
lose. Tho moralsentimout and the sym?
pathy of the whole country, without dis?
tinction of party, will sustain them iu
such u course.-Charleston News.

THU HEINREIOH OuritAas JUDGED \
FROM A MERE POLITICAL STAND-POINT.
'Ibo Turf, Field aud Farm is a sporting
nod agricultural paper and never opens
its mouth on politics. Hear what it says
of the outrage upon Mr. Hoinreich :
ARBITRARY ARREST.-Attention has
been drawn to a case which ezoites in?
dignation in the breasts of all who value
personal liberty. A respectable German
citizen of New York-George A. Bein
reioh-was dragged from his private
residenoe by a Deputy United States
Marshal, taken before a United States
Commissioner, and, without. examina?
tion, refused bail and sent to prison. It
seems that.Mr. Heinreioh declined to be
questioned' by a man who insolently
thrust himself into bis presence, show?
ing no official badge until ordered from
the premises. As these are not tba days
of the inquisition we do not see why a
private citizen should bow to .any such
onutom as this Deputy United States
Marshal sought to establish. That any
officer has the right to intrude upon the
privacy of home, and there cross ques?
tioned at pleasure; ls something hard to
admit by men who set say store on free?
dom. T h'We is. a place to pursue all
l?gal investigations, and that place cer?
tainly is not in the midst of the family
circle. Home is a sanctuary too sacred
to be lightly trampled upon. And yet,
according to the statement of Mr. Hein?
reioh, for treating two impudent in?
truders as they deserved to be treated,
he was arrested, taken to a room in the
Fifth Avenu a Hotel, and from there com?
mitted to Ludlow street jail. Good bail
waa tendered, and, on a technioal plea,
declined. And so this German citizen,
by au arbitrary process? was compelled
to pass too nights in prison. On being
taken before Commissioner Davenport,
Monday morniug, the examination was
postponed, and the mau was accepted as
bondsman who, on Satnrday afternoon,
was refused the eamo office. The entire
oase is extraordinary, and it is not to be
wondered at that the oommunity de?
nounce it as au outrage.
The people muy be indifferent to
minor abuses, but when you assail the
personal freedom pf man, you strike a
sympathetic cord, aud .the whole com?
munity fly up at, you-with angry remon?
strance. The principle of arbitrary ar?
rest is too adidas to ever be sanctioned
by the American publie,.and it can only
bo put ia force at the point of the bayo?
net. Thanks to the goddess of peace,
we have not yet como-io that in New
x'ork, so it would have been better for
Commissioner Davenport to have
thought seriously before acting as hastily
as he did. lu fact, the mun whoso
duties ure judicial should never be
hasty.
'I ns HORSE EPIDEMIC.-The telegraph
still continues to bring us disastrous ac?
counts of the spread and extent of the
distemper which prevails among horses
in New York aud other Northern locali?
ties. This disease seems to have origin?
ated at or near Toronto, Canada. From
this point it spread to Montreal, and
thence to Portland, Boston, Springfield
and other to .vus and cities in Maine,
N *w Hampshire and Massachusetts. It
has appeared in Chicago and St. Louis.
But the chief line of its ravages has been
ii ulla io, Lockpovt, Rochester, Syracuse
to New York. The attack of the diseuse
lasts about ton days. It seems to be
conceded, as evident from the facts re?
corded and observations made, that the
spread of the disease is doe to the at?
mospheric influences and not contagion.
Ono result which may be predicted as
the consequence of this epidemic is the
substitution of steam for horse power in
all large cities as the motive power for
j transportation.

that at Society Hill, South Carolina,
after the war, three widow ladies, who
wore in great want, sent to some Charles?
ton merchants au inquiry whether they
could obtain glass jurs and sugar on a

serves, to soe if they could make uny
money out of the business. The credit
was given, the preserves made and
shipped to New York city and sold.
They found the business profitable. At
the present time forty families aro sup?
ported at Society Hill by ibis industry
alone, commenced by three enterprising
widows.

dents of tho Mormon Church, with u

grimage to Palestine and the Holy City,
to prove the commotion between thu
Mormon? and th 3 East tribes.
A MATTKB OF SATISFACTION .-Not *
bad story is told at the expense of ?
most distinguished oitizen of Philadel?
phia. It seems that a dinner party waa
in progress daring the recent brilliant
display of Northern lights, and this gen?
tleman, stepping not to cool bin bnrning
brow, waB startled by the display about
the frosty pole. He stood perfectly
amazed; then turning to the window, bo
saw within the wife of his bosom sitting
with the ladies, waiting for their liege
lords to end their champagne and cigars.
Pushing aside the curtains, be beckoned
Mrs. Agnes to come out. She complied,
when be Baid to her solemnly:
"WUK nea, d'y er see anything extrono
ry now?"
"Yes, Dolly, I see you have been
drinking too much wine." ,
"No I not that, Wag oes. I mean ci?
tron ory phornomonums in asmosphere."
"Why, where. Dolly?"
"Upper yonder, Wagons."
"Why, dear mel-yes, Ido indeed
the most brilliant aurora that I ever SAW."
"Wagnes, are things shootin'?"
"Yes, dear."
"And a-flashing, Wagnes?"
"YOB, Dolly."
"An' a sorter spreadin' and daocin',
eb, Wagnes?"
"All that, my dear."
"Hoi hoi" laughed the husband, much
relieved, "do you know, Wagnis-I
mean Hagnes-when I came out and
saw the o'lpstial phornomonums allow?
ing upper yonder, blowed effer I didn't
think I was drunk I" ? . -
In Pope County, Arkansas, the whites
vote one in nineteen and the negroes one
in two. The whites are disfranchised
and disarmed, and negroes repeat as
often as they or their musters, the oar
pet-baggers, think necessary. Hence
the outrages in Pope County, Ark.
