JAMES, JB, THINKS NOT Mr Editor : Of course the election will have beeo held when this ie published, bot I beg that yon allow it to appear in your columns Io these days of perplexity I am in doubt as to how much iojury a Christian should stand before the point of active resentment is reached I for one leave the Old Testament out, tho' I believe everything chron? icled therein, aud that the morals it j points are high and ennobling, and that the Jewish historians were truthful and impartial, aud from their writings we learn the character of God and the divinity of Jesus Chri*t Our salvation begins with the new dispensation. We are reformers on the old school Peter abhorred the idea of returning to the law, and I from it wo are now free Returning to tho question : Jesus j rebuked His disciples for asking Ilim to call down vengeance upon tbe dwellera of a certaiu village And again, when He entered Jerusalem riding the colt of on ass His adhcr ente were sufficiently numerous to clear the city of His enemies Even whilo dying He begged forgiveness for those who brought about His death If we consider the fact that He bad the power to overwhelm His enemies we may faintly discern tho stupendous self control exerted and sacrifice made in order to set us an example Aud Stephen following that example prayed thus, "lay not this bin to their charge " Paul also uffered many things and multitudes others were destroyed by tbe whelming flood of Satan's rage, and yet not one has been recorded as having heaped curses upon their persecutors. And why ? Because God so loved the world (oot the cburcb) that He gave His only begotten Son, &c, and they being His imitated Him. Were the crusaders right in trying to redeem the tomb of Jesus from pollution ? I thiuk oot, for we all pity the error and smile at the fanat iciam of their efforts We say we are more learned now, and I ask. are we ? I read ten rea? sons why we should vote so and so io the primary, published editorially in a denominational paper, and Sena tor Tillman in one way or aoother was mentioned io nine of them. Have we the authority to avenge our wrongs ? "Vengeance is mine saitb the Lord " If one induces a man to lay aside evil, evil is crushed and a man is saved ; now on tbe other hand, if it takes too much time and effort to accomplish along that line shall we appeal to Ceasar and destroy the man along with the evil ? It has been written that the mis? sionaries advised the razing of Pekio, I could not then believe it : shall I now ? I road of a bishop denouncing tho utterances of a statesman as lies aod ho a slanderous liar. Is that hisbop led and controlled by the harmless aod helpful spirit of God T If he is there are two effeots produced by tho same spirit Ho has novor affeoted me that way Jesu9 said God would send angels to defcod Him if He so requested His every wish would have been grati? fied whetoor working good or evil on man. We oredit Paul with good miracle*, why not then also with tho power for aoy kind of ruiraolo. Shall we say that God only gave him power to do good ? That would be uoreasonablo for Jesus wat) ablo to do harm to meo us well as good and Paul most aaauredly had Ilia power, yet he never expressed the faintest desiro to use it for aveng? ing injuries to himself or other Cbris tiaos. Jesus Christ did oall Herod a fox Bat tbe Hev Gardner called Tillman a thousand foxes. When Jesus was deridod and aoorned did Ho sarcastically advise hia formen tors to aet up a doctrine of their owu ? He did not, but Rev Tboaiaa rtdvhes Tillman to establish a thculogioai .nemt oary of his own thereby holding up that olass of soboola to contempt I well know the temptation to expand wbon we have the power, aod how wo love to bring to naught those who dare, but is it Christ like? Should the preacher* single oat one mm of oar oountry and from tbo pulpit undertake to crush Dim as a penalty for tho crime they call irrevcreoce while within a stone's throw perchanoe of some of those pulpits stands a synagogue io which is proclaimed tbat there has never boon a Christ nor ever will be ? aod if you will remember last Sunday's lesson positive ly stated that He was tbe only way. Io the latter days do we value TIabak kuk above Matthew ? What a beautiful aod forceful lesson this generation would have had if the preachers bad beeo led by the right spirit aod silently submitted to what* j ever real or imaginary slander that had been heaped upon them aod tbe Way, restiog upon tho strength of the Rook of Ages, praying God to deal gently with the crriog sons of men, whiob would have beeo no more than their duty. Christ *i9 leading us aod He has nil power io heaveo and ou earth. Why not "leavo it to Him," leave it to Him. W. A. James, Jr. Biehopville, S C NEWS FROM'oHINA. Washington, August. 28.?Several communications oame to Washington from tbo United States officials io China today, but being without dates in most cases the Government was by oo means satisfied with tbe state of commuoioations aod tbo Cabinet meet iog held this afternoon gave tho larger part of its attention to the problem of rectifying this state of affairs. Evi? dences of interference with the mes? sages have accumulated to a point wbero tbe Government has determined to take steps to establish channels of its own, aod to employ the rather expen? sive devioo of a. raan-of-war plying between Shanghai aod Che Too for this purpose Either the New Orleans or the Princeton will be ordered on this duty. Mcaowhiie word comes that rapid progress ia makiog with the ebort cable which is to connect these points and it is believed that within a week this means of communication will be open. Three messages from Geo. Cbaffeo were received today and while they east oo direot light on the military situation they were inferentially important. Ooe was as follows: "Taku, China?Adjutant General, Washington : Siege battery not needed. ??Cbaffee." This dispatch is io reply to an in? quiry sent sotce time ago to Gen. Chaffee relative to the Biege battery which was taken to Maoillla, via Nagasaki, to bo sent to China if needed. TROOPS DIVERTED TO MANILA Anoouooemect was received of tbe arrival of tbo Garonoe, with eight companies of tho is. oavalry aboard, at Kobe, Japan, tod a eoupaoioo ship, with animals for the troopers. An order was seot from here to the govern? ment's agents nt Kobe to divert tho eavalry aod their animals from that port to Manila, instead of allowing them to prooeed 10 Taku, aocording to their origiuial orders. Gen Cbaffee's statement that he needs oo siege bat? tery, taken in connection with tbo diver* sion of the 1st cavalry, which was bound for Taku, to Manila, seems to make clear that there is oo intention to enter into a prolonged campaign in China, such as would involve the use of heavy artillery, or of reinforcements io the shape ot men aod borsos. Formal Negotiations Now Seem Probable. Washington, Aug 27 ?After sev? eral days intermission in Chinese ad* vices tho government today received two dispatches which presumably bring its advices up to the most re? cent date. There are indications that the principal delaya in tbe lines of communication are encountered between Tien Tsin and Pekin, a fact explainable by the newspaper advices that small bands of Boxers are opera ting ou thu lino of communication of the campaign force Just such in* terference with tho work of tho sig? nal corps men was experienced by tho United States in tho Philippine! and by Lord Roberts' troops in the Transvaal campaign Usually those interruptions aro very short, the marauders being driven oil and the lines restored within a day or two. Tho fact that morn than a week was covored by the last interruption gives rise to tho belief here that these attacks upon tho lines of communica? tion by Buxers are more formidable than waH supposed to be possible, after tho heavy losses inflicted upon them by the international forces in its advance The important dispatch of the day was one from Minister Conger, rela? tive to the military situation in Pekin. NO IMPORTANT MOVEMENT Waehington, Aug 27 ?Tho depart ment of state makes public tho fol lowing dispatch from Minister Con? ger, received this morning: Taka, Aug 27 Secretary of State, Washington: No more important movements since last dispatch. Military to re? store order. No representative of the Chinese government encountered yet Several ministers of the tsung li yamen reported in the city and are expected to appear soon. Gen? erals decide not to enter imperial palace, leaving it practically vacant Two thousand Germans arrived to? day. Conger. This dispatch is undated, but from the fact that it mentions tbe arrival of German forces nt% Pekiu, which has not yet been reported from any other quarter, it is presumed to be of very recent origin. Unfortunately the dispatch lacked a date, the minister presumably not haviog yet received the department's instruction to include the date in the body of his dispatches. From inter? nal evidence the ??t?te department concluded that Mr Conger's message was certainly later than any official emanation from the Chinese capital. Mr Congers's reference to the arrival of 2,000 fresh Germ&ns troops caused some surprise, no one apparently having closely watched the move meuts of the German contingent, which is now arriving with fairly regular frequency in China, and which consequently may be expected soon to equal to numerical strength the military contingents of any of the European nations there represented A Signiftaent statement in Minister Conger's dispatch ia that respecting the expected appearance in Pekin of some of the members of the Tsung li yamen A natural construction to be given to this statement is that theae ministers wi6h to undertake to re? present the Chinese government for? mally In negotiations with the powers It having been found im possible up to this moment, according to Mr Conger's statement; to meet any representative of the Chinese government in Pekin who was com potent to open negotiations, it may be inferred that if these ministers actually appear with proper creden? tials, one of the problems connected with the present difficult situation in China will be solved The War in South Africa. Report of an Advance With Indefinite Results London, Aug. 23 ?Lord Roberts reports under date of Belfast, Aug. 27, as follows : "Our movements are slow on account of tbe exteot aod nature of the coun? try. Today wo made a satisfactory ad? vance aod met with decided success. The work fell entirely to Boiler's troops and resulted in the capture of Bergendal, a very strong position two mileB northwest of Daimanotha.
