ni: WILL FREACU *0 MORB. Thc Rev. l?r. Armstrong Renouncer tli*- Coria linn Ministry. (From tiio Atlantaconstitution.) Evory one remembers Ibo trial o? Dr. J. Q, Armstrong by tho ecclesiastical court, on charges of intoxication audcouUuct un becomiug O minister. No one has forgotten tho general regrol ?iver the auuouuccinent of Dr. Armstrongs conviction anti the subsequent sentence ol tho Bishop silencing his eloquent voice for tho space of live years. Thc sequel to that memorable trial ami sentence may he rem! to day. Dr. Arm strong will never preach again. Since his conviction he has been m thc insurance business. Although suspended, ho was still a minister. In Augusta a short time ago he attended nu insurance banquet, lt is claimed that he was Intoxicated there, lb" dollied it. however, and his friends denied it. Within the last two weeks a number of iiflidtivtts have been made to the elici t that he was Intoxicated at the banquet, or on the day afterward. These affidavits were lodged with the authorities ol' the church, and an Episcopal minister w rotc to Dr. Armstrong thal the only way to avoid another trial was to renounce the ministry. Dr. Armstrong at once telegraphed that he would renounce the ministry of tho Episcopal Church, anti tho Constitution's Information isthat he did .so last Saturday. When spoken to aboill the maller hy a Constitution reporter, Dr. Armstrong would not talk. He was nun li surprised thtrt tin news had gotten out. He said he had nothing whatever to say concerning the matter. 1 ?ut would lol his COU rsc become public through thc regular channel. A gentleman, who is a friend of Dr. Armstrong, said, however: .'The letter has been written. I have not seen it. but 1 understand that it recites that tho doctor desires to relieve the Episcopal Church from any responsibility whatever for his action, ami desiri s lo bo relieved of any responsibility to the ministry. The reasons tor this, L believe, are that he felt that he could not. with consistency, or with dignity or peace, maintain a relation with a church, the authorities of which were unfriendly to him, whether justly or unjustly. He felt that he would have to either renounce the ministry of tin1 church or leave Atlanta, which he had determined to make his home. Ile chose the former course." Thc gentleman was asked w hat Dr. Arm strong would t?o in the future. "I do not know," he said. "For the present, ni least, bc w ill continue in tho service of the ?quitable Insurance Com pany, which is pleasant ami profitable. 1 think, however, his whole inclination leads him to public speaking, and 1 believe that w ill he his final course in some form or other." A Remarkable Failli Cure Reported. The Pittsburg papers re port a remark:', ble faith cure hom Usu ks ville, a mltiilig town two miles from thc city. As the storj goes. Maggie I lead ling, the 10 year old daughter ot a uml miner, had h ce ll hid ridden. Frequently of late die had lain in a trance, or comatose stale, for days, and when she would rellim to consciousness she would tell her friends . > it she had been to Heaven. In proof ol' the story of her transition .she told the names and do* scribed the appearance of relative.- who lind died bet. ire she w as born, and of others w hem she knew w lien they were alive.

Promptly at 3 o'clock tho young girl arose from her chair wit li her hands and. dinging them aside, walked about the room, to tm- overwhelming as tonishment of those present. The cure SCCIllcd complete, and she jumped about tho room like a child, Tho news was noised about, and almost the entire popula tion of Btlllksville turned out to see thc wonderful case.

A \\ millington Scandal. There is a SCaiidal agitating social and club circles w hich is now on every tongue. So much is this story turned over that ll is now as widely disseminated in Washington as if the details of the story had been pub lished in the World. Thc story involves an ex diplomat w ho was once an ornament in (ho Aim rican loreign service. For sonic time it has been ll source of wonder how this retired official manages to live amt go about In good society as he has done, as OVOiy one knew that he had no private for tune. Recently a well known public man missed some valuable jewels from his house. He placed the matter in the hands of a pri vate detective, who traced tia missing arti clcs to the 0X-Olllclnl. The further devi l opinent of the en. o showed that a lady member of thc public man's family had taken the jewels, and the ex official who had be-' i devoted to her, received and dis posed of them-whether for himself or the lad)' in question has not lu cn made clear. No arrests have made. Tho private dcteeti ITO Was paid a hands une SUIll to drop tho case. 1 in- Direct Tax mn. Contrary lo the expectations of the friends of the measure, the House Judiciary Com mittee luis agreed to report favorably the ?Senate bill providing for the repay mon I of tho direct tax collected from the States under thc act of 1801. Whether there will be time, in view of Un: backwardness of tho appropriation bills, is a question. Mr. Culbcrson, of Texas, offered in committee a substitute for thc bill, Which, had it been agreed to, would have largely bcnoflttcd thc South. It was based on the idea that thc Senate bill only carried with it partial justice. This substitute retained all the features of the origina! bill regarding the return of that part of thc lux which thc States had paid and the remission of that part which was still due, bul it went fur (lier ami provided that the States he paid all tho amounts Willoh were due to them ''y the L'niled States government and Which hud hoon withheld on account of their in dobtodnoss to the government, growing out. of tlie direct tax: that the owners of land sold for non-payment of tu.vns he returned tho amount paid at the sales, after deducted costs, etc,; that the amounts collected under Hie tax on raw colton be refunded to tin Southern States, w hich amounts should bc held in trust for tin- producers, "Frailly, Thy Nam?

Ju talking with a lawyer from another State some lime ago, ho remarked that Iiis ??tate, too, had a homestead law, but it was a clu ck on fraud, and not an encouragement to dishonesty. Their law gave a man no oxomption from his honest dobts unk . tho homestead was set off before tho debts were contracted, but on thc con trary prohibited bim from setting aside to his family more property than a lixed amount, ami then trailing upon his own appearance and reputation for wealth, and thereby defrauding tho ignorant. In our State a mun may give everything he has to his wile, live like a lord, and when men, ignorant of this secrot ar rangement, demand payment [or just debts, may defeat their claims on tho ground that ho has nothing. And even if he has neglected to do this thing, our ?aw still says he can keep SI,500 before he pays a dollar on his most sacred obli gations. The fact is that WO have en tirely misunderstood this law. lt had its origin in the West, ami was in tho na ture td a bankrupt law. Men w ho had lost everything in the Fast frequently went to a Western State, took up a gov ernment "section."* cleared up the wilderness, ami built them a home. In tho enjoyment of this koine tiny wore protected irma tho rapacity of loreign creditors; and this was right. But these conditions do not exist in South Caroli na, and WO have no need of the law as it now operates. If a man meets misfor tune, aud gives np everything to his creditors, they should forgive him whet he. cannot pay. But when a man con tracts an honest debt, has tho proporty to pay it, and rofuses to do so, it is de moralizing and disgraceful for tho law to shield him in his dishonesty.
