They have such high ideas of their own superior abilities, acquirements and fitness for the work; they want always to have their hands in the treasury box of the church; they have so long succeeded in making others believe that they are great men great preachers, greet pro tensors, when th* fact is, that they are neither greater, nor better, nor more learned than they ought to be. Such men will give trouble, but they must not be listened to. They have a way of working under handedly, ot whispering behind the sceue, of — it may be termed — backbiting. We entreat all the brethren not to heed them. The laymen of South Carolina will see to it that the Syn od they represented so well iloes its part lilierally, and not mercenarily.

The case before the court was that of a Presbyterian church in Ixiuisville, which had become divided through old troubles relating to slavery aud the civil war. After various proceedings before the es tablished tribunals of the church— the Presbytery, the Syuod aud the General Assembly—the dispute waft taken into the courts; Unit into the State courts of Kentucky, ami after- Court:-I he decisions in tlie State courts being all in favor of one party, aud iu the I'nited States Coart of the other. Finally, the case was brought before the Supreme Court of the I'nited States, which decided, substantially, that no court has pow. er to interfere with the action of the General Assembly, which is the Su preme judicatory of the Presbyterian Church. Its decisions, whether right or wrong, must be accepted as final in all church matters, and civil tri bunals have uot the authority even to inquire whether, under the con, stitution, the church, the Assembly has jurisdiction over cases brought before it, or whether its action is in conformity to the rules and jirece dents of the church. From this, it would appear that in any church the decisiou of the ecclesiastical judicatory which is recognized as of the highest authority, can not be overruled by any civil court. Preaching in German The Dutmske Zeitnng, in speakiug of Dr. Rude’s sermon, preached last Sunday in the new German church, takes exception to the fact that the same was preached in English. It says: “There are in Charleston about Hfty churches, in all of which sermons are preached iu English every Sunday, while there is ouly oue church set, apart for Germans, which should be kept specially for them. But it seems as if we are to have the old story over again, and who knows iu how short a time Eng lish only will be preached in onr beautiful German church. It is to be hoped that the builders will not live to witness this sad event. The St John’s Lutheran church was built by Germans, but not a German word is beard there now. The Ger man Friendly Societ)* was fouuded by Germans, but where is their Ger man language uow f The few Ger mans here must combat every ag gression on the part of the English language, or they will nnrely be swamped by it. Our beantilul church should remain German—if not for us who understaud English, it should remain so for our brothers from the old Fatherland, who arrive here straugers in a strange land, aud who, of course, will wish to bear the consolations of religion in the Ger man language.”—CharlenUm Xciet.

Onr city and country certoiuly owe much, very much, to the Her man and his tongue, ami I think we all take pleasure in acknowledging it. German is taught in many schools in our city. Several socie ties use that language exclusively, and it is with much gratification we have lately witnessed in oar old city a most pleasing affiliation between the German and Amencau elements a tendency to share the advan tages of peoples ami tongues. Thus should it be!
