AND SOME STATISTICAL IN

FORMATION OP AN IN TERESTING NATURE. BY BV. J. If. FOSTER.

The Re. J. M. Foster, well

known ia this city, read an exhaus

tive paper Jfoee the Presbyterian Ministers Association of Cincinnati

last week. The article U too long to reproduce entire, bat the follow

ing extracts will be of interest to

C3 the people of this community, a we

have a church in Bloomineton of

the denomination as the one of

which Mr. Foater is a Minister.

So few of as know the reasons whyibis people refuse to vote thai all

will be glad to be informed by one

so able to give the information:

In 1774 Revs. Cotbbertson, Linn

and Dobbin organized tbe Reform

ed Presbytery of America, to maintain the principles of tbe Covenants.

To-day this church baa 111 ministers, 121 congregations, 10,745 members. The Psalms of David are used exclusively in the service of praise, and no organs allowed. No slave-bolder was ever allowed in their communion. No member of a secret oath-bound society is allowed in their communion. No brewer, distiller nor saloon-keeper is admitted. The members are not allowed to hold stock in Sabbathbreaking corporations: Their political dissent is the distinctive fe1 rare. The following paper, read before tbe Presbyterian Ministers' Association, explains it : It is generally known that one of the terms of communion in the Reformed Presbyterian Church is that ber members deny themselves tbe political privilege of voting and holding office nader the constitution as it now stands. This we call oar political dissent. This means pnblic objection to the action of an organic body. Only the members of a body can dissent from tbe action. None but the members of Synod can dissent from Synod's action. So of Congress and every other body of men. Statutory law is constitutional law unraveled; constitutional law is tbe moral law unraveled; tbe moral law is Jesus Christ translated into

life, and Christ is the revelation of

God. Now tbe "sovereign body' breaks this chain which connects the nation with tbe mediatorial throne. It rejects Christ as King, and will not accept of his law. On the contrary, it adopts a godless constitution. Against this act of rebellion Reformed Presbyterians enter their fundamental dissent. This is their national dissent. They cannot accept this instrument ; Ibey cannot

accept authority under such a com

pact of government. Tbey cannot

exercise their political rights under

it in tbe "political body." Tbey

separate themselves from the "political body and refuse to exereise their political privileges in it. This is their political dissent. It gives effect to their national dissent from the nations rebellion against Christ.

It involves separation from tbe government and foregoing "official rights" which are waived in our

government dissent. Oar political

dissent then signifies tar refusal to

exercise our political rights in the

"voting body' under the constitu

lion. This we regard as our duty I. Because the Constitution of the United States does not recognize the sovereignty of God, the kinship f Christ, nod the

supremacy or toe aivine law. There ia no tact in philosophy mere dearly established than the moral charao tor and accountability of the Nation. That tbe Nation is the creature of God, subject to His law just as an individual; that it has a unity and continuity running through the generations; that it has a . character for virtue or rice, righteousness or unrighteousness, obedience or rebellion, Just a certain as David and Ahah and the holiness brings down tbe blessing and sin the corse of God upon the Nation, are facts too patent to be questioned. The beat thinkers have observed that a Nation U possessed of reason, will and conscience those essential attributes of personality; that it is capable of doing right or wrong, and of being rewarded and punished. But the constitution is the Nation's letter of instructi on to its Government, directing how its will shall be carried out. That "letter of instruction" should reflect the moral character and purpose of the Nation. The constitution i "the translation into legal language of tbe forces of tbe Nation." And as it calls into exereise the- great powers with which God ha clothed tbe Nation, it should recognize the sovereignity ut Him who in the source of all authority and power. The constitution is the Nation's declaration of principles, and so should contain a clear, distinct and explicit recognition of the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, "who is King of kings and lord of lords,-' and the Nation's pledge to serve and obey Him. The constitution is tbe supreme law of the landad as anj law which cmtvavenes tbe law of God is no law at all it should fully acknowledge the absolute supremacy of die divine law. These things the constitution does not do. Therefore Reformed Presbyterians cannot accept of it. Thcv ran not unite with the "political body' in

aecepcia; astoonty unnvi it. ibey m.iyj

ly refuses to acknowledge the authority ad law of Him who occupies the eternal throne.

Now, the constitution of the United

States is in the main. stood. It largely

corresponds to the constitution of Christ s Government. It does not deny Christ's authority in so many words. It does not speak in disrespectful terms of his author

ity, m passes mm ny m imni wuwuupThis silence is treason, for this Nation is under as much obligation to acknowledge tho nutboritv of the Lord Jesus Christ as tbe Southern Confederacy was to acknowledge the authority of the

Government of the United States. Then

every man who swears to support the con

stitution of the United States becomes a

party to that treason, and every man wno

votes rcraaotoer w uu jl ior mm uwuv a party to the treason likewise. Bather than be involved in such guilt we will deny ourselves the enjoyment of all political "AjmTi heard a voice from heaven saying, come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that je receive not of ber plagues." While this is a call upon God's people to separate from the Papacy, a call to which tbe Reformers responded ia tho sixteenth century, it is equally applicable to every other organisation wrong in its constitution, or administration. In order, then, that we may be free from responsibility for the organised iniquity in our land, we must occupy the position of political dissenters. IV. Because political dissent is tbe most powerful remedy that can be applied to these National evils. ' While we work within the "political body," we can only lop off some of the decayed branches, but when we stand out as political dissenters we can strike at the tap-root of the evil. While working with in we strike bands with the evil, standing without we rebuke it. In tbe one case we go with the current,in the other against it. In the first we mingle with the masses and are unobserved, in the second we occupy the high, towers, exposed to all tbe darts of our adversaries. Let no one suppose that it is indifference to political matters that prompts us all to this course. We take the deepest interest in political affairs. It is a great cross for those of us whose hearts glow with love of country to abstain from political action, and nothing but a high sense of duty keeps us back. We do not regard U as a sin to vote or bold office per se. On tbe contrary, it is our duty to vote. And it is a sia to neglect the duty through indifference. We can subscribe to the sentiment so often expressed by Charles Sumner,

that the citizen who neglects his political duties is a public enemy. A law of Pythagoras pronounced every free man infamous who in questions of public moment

did not take aides. Compulsory voting

was the rule in ancient Athens, and on rainy election days we could wish It wore

toe rule Here. Tbe exercise of political privileges is not an optional matter. It is a duty which we owe to civil society. And when we are called to fill an office it is our duty to go, providing we are not neglecting a greater duty. Wo allow no one to go before us in insisting upon our obligation to perform these public duties. But it is a principle admitted by all, that when "men mifkethe environment of our duty such

that its performance involves the commission of sin, it ceases to be a duty."

Daniel took tbe office or mine Jamister ina heathen kindom and exercised it so

long as "the duties belonging to it were

right ia themselves, and they were regu

lated by a just law, and no oath of office was required, but faithfully to execute official duties." Sons of Oil. But when ho was required to cease praying to his God be laid down his office and went to tho lions' den rather. Before we can exercise our political privileges in the "political body" we oust swear to support the political covenant under which that body accepted of authority. This we regard as a sin. Bather than commit it we deny ourselves political privileges.' When wo d o right and leave all consequences with God, we are accomplishing the most good.

JUDGE LYNCH HOLDS COURT IN MARTIN COUNTY. A SHOItT TERM WITH Ho Bailiffa To Fay.

The Shoals, Martin co. Tribune,

tells of the triple hanging at that

town last week, as follows: A vigilance committee of 75 men, came

ia from Martin and Orange counties, Tuesday night, and made the attack on the jail about 12 o'clock. Tbe vigilants were .quiet and orderly. The Sheriff was first aroused by the barking of his dog, followed by a knock on the door. He

asked who was there. The answer receiv

ed was a crash with sledge . hammers

against tho door of his residence.

Blow after blow followed until tbe fragile door was demolished, and entrance

was gained. Sheriff Padgett was pinioned in his parlor, and the vigilants then went to the jail door, knocked off the lock, but were dismayed at finding another which would not readily yield to blows. Finally a member of tbe mob was found who un -

derstood how to work the cell doors. This

being done a rush was made for the Archers, and a moment later they were at the mercy of the mob.

The vigilants were provided with tools to effect aa entrance and guard against

any resilience loal migni De made. Tney bad provided long rods of iron curved at one eni, with which to grab the prisoners

around tne neck if tbey fnade any resistance. The Archers, seeing these imple

ments and a determined set of masked men, made no resistance. Before being taken from tbe jail their bands were tied behind them, and they were then taken to the courthouse yard, where beautiful maples," with spreading branches afforded curves for the banging noose. Tom Archer was asked by tbe leader of the mob, if he had anything to say, and he did not reply. He was at once strung up. Then followed Mart Archer, who declared, "I will tell anything you want me to," and repeated it thrice ; tbe leader asked about the Bunch murder and he declared that he knew, nothing about it. These remarks were his last on earth. John Archer then said; Gentlemen, you are hanging nn innocent man," but he might ai well have talked to the wind. Not a whimper, not a prayer, nor a request for mercy escaped their lips, aad they died as sinful as they had lived. Tom Archer, the older member of the gang, who was hung first was about 60 year of age. He had a half inch rope around bis neck, and about daylight tho rope bad stretched so as to allow his feet to touch the ground. Mart Archer, a brother to Tom, aged forty-five, was bung high with his eyes opened, presenting a most horrible and ghastly sight; John, son of Tom Archer was hung to a limb about forty feet west of Mart with his hands tied behind him. Her is about thirty yean old. The two last named were hung with a three-quarter inch cotton cord, and thir bodies swung to and fro in the soft western In-oez') that was blowing through the trees in the court house yard. After tho vigilants had hanged tho Archers to tbe trees in the court bouse vnrd

to and fro in the court house yard, and

the Coroner, who had been called in tho meantime, placed several guards on duly to -wateh the bodies until morning. The cause assigned for the execution of tho Archers is a review of everything that j is criminal and will fill an' iinportaiil chapter in the criminal history of Indiana, j The victims wore also accused of all the J petty thievery that has occurred in Martin county for the past twenty-five years. They have been n reigning torror both in Martin and Orango counties, and have co terrorized the community in which they lived that the people did not know when tbey retired for the night whether they would bo murdered or not. They never failed to visit vengeance for a fancied j slight, and manv farmers in Martin and

being robbed and property burned. Three of Marion Hinkle's children are sick with diptberia. Mrs. Hiram Lindley is at present in Orange county, with her mother, who is dangerously sick. W. B, Baker has been confined to his bed during the past ten days with a severe cold and threatened attack of pneumonia. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar of La Fayette will lecture in College

Chapel, Monday evening,March 29. j This will be tbe first lecture for next terra,and one of the best things of the year. Mrs. Gougar is known all over Indiana, and is regarded hi the east as one of the finest platform orators in the country. She will speak here on " Woman and the Ballot." We can assure her a good audience in Bloomington. Robert C. Foster is announced in to-day's Progress as a candidate for the office of County Auditor. "Bob Foster" as he is familiarly

called, has, we believe, a more gen

eral acauaintance thoushout Mon

roe county than any man in it. He is a genial accommodating man, with a pleasant word for every one,

and so far as we know, has no enemies-. His qualifications for the position aie unquestioned, in fact

be is regarded by Democrats and

Republicans alike as the most com

petent man we have to carry on the

business of a county office. It will be remembered that it was Bob

Foster who fell through the burn

ing building on the west side occupied by McCalla's dry goods store and that he, was held down by

heavy beams for several hours, with

the flames leaping all about him

but that be never lost courage in

that trying moment. If be is nonv

iuated he will face the- political

fight that follows in as calm and courageous a manner as he stared

death in tbe face on the occasion re ferred to. Prize Contests are getting pop

ular. The 'firm of Wicks & Co. now offers two prizes of $20 and

$10 for the best essay from the Un

iversity on the question : "What benefits result to the people of Indiana from a protective tariff?" This

contest is to be held some time in

May. Judge Baldwin of Logans

Dort offers a prize of $25 for the

a a best production on tbe question "Why are certain sections of Indi

ana Democratic, and why are other

sections Republican ?" For instance,

wby does Wayne county give 2,000

Republican majority, and Dubois

county 2.000 Democratic? The

young men of college are certainly

having enough subjects presented

to them to excite diligent inquiry.

The Woman Suffrage Association of Indianapolis, also contemplate of

fering a prize on their favorite sub

ject.

Tbe Temperance Contest last

Tuesday nigbt was well attended

On the program was one Senior

three Juniors, one Sophomore and one Freshman. The Freshman took the 1st prize, the Sophomore

the 2d, the three Juniors brought

up the rear, and the Senior "ske

daddled" before the fight began.

Tbe following were the subjects

and the assumed names: "Alcohol

ic Diseases," "Citizen" (F. M

Walters) "A Plea for Prohibition,"

"Liberty" (Mr. Howard) j "The Saloon System," "Gough" (Jesse W. Hubbard) ; "Prohibition or High License, Which," "A Crank" (C. B. Ellis) ; "Local Option, the means to the end," "Ergo" (E. B. Stewart) ; "The Liquor Traffic and its Cure," "Humauitas" (Mr. Dt'Larme). The judges were Prof. Atwater, Prof. Naylor, Mrs. L. A. Bicknell, and Rev. S. R. Lyons, Referee. The judges had decided on the essays before they were read, and without knowing the authors of any of them. They gave the first prize of $20 to "Gough," Jesse Hubbard, the second to "Liberty," Mr. Howard, which decision was as satisfactory to the audience that heard the es-

John M. McGee arrived from Washington City,one day last week. Three years ago yesterday (March 16th) the west side block of buildings was destroyed by fire. The congregation of Walnut st. Presbyterian church, al morning seyvices, last Sunday, subscribed $100 toward paying off the debt. Matson made a speech recently, in Congress, charging Dudley with sending his cleks out to electioneer ! This is cheeky, coming from Br'r Matson, aiut it ? Mrs. Pitts has moved into the building on the north side, formerly owned by Mm. Henderson,, having purchased the feed and flour store of Hash & Alexander. Dr. Jordan, Mr. Everraan and Chas. Bollman go to Florida this week, to collect specimens for the Museum. They will be gone about ten days.' Little Edith Jordan

goes along, we hear.

The "red sun set" prizes, offer

ed by H. Warner of Rochester, 2J. Y., were awarded last week. Tho principal prize of $200 goes io

Hamburg, Germany. Prof. Kirk-

wood of our city was one of the

Judges making the award.

The Democrats of Clear Creek

township held their convention on

Saturday last, and re-nominated

Ab. Dowden for Trustee. They

declared in favor of Pedigo for county clerk, Ab.Ketcham for Rep

resentative, and Wm. Duncan for

onerirx.

A new swindling scheme is

being worked by fruit tree men in

tbe vicinity of Wabash county.

Aeents take a farmer's order for

six or eight hundred dollar's worth

of apricot trees, stating that tbe

trees will bear in three years, when

the tree men will take and pay fur

half the crop. The farmer in real!

ty signs a negotiable note in return

for trees which can not live in this

climate.

A good many people iu Bloom

ington know what to go to when they want a real entertainment in

i.he way ot public speaking. All

these will hear Mrs. Cougar who

.peaks in the Chapel Monday, March 29th. The pleasure a person feels in listening to an orator is as keen as it used to be before the art of oratory died. It is said that Mrs. Gougar shows that the art still lives. -!-The Athenian Anniversary which occurs on the 12th of February, was celebrated this year on the 12th of March, (last Friday night)Mr. Thornton of Bedford was Anoiversarian, and a good speech he had too, with Messrs. Monroe and Thomas as very creditable associates. The efficient orchestra, under good management and well trained, gave us a taste of the dulcet strains we once enjoyed so much. May they appear again. Wm. Wcleh was acquitted, at Bedford, last week, of tbe charge of murdering old man Fedder. No evidence except that of Matt. James was introduced, and the jury did not attach much importance to it.

It is stated that Judge Miers made

a splendid defense of his client, aad gained the sympathy and good will of all who gave the case any

attention. Ho was ably assisted by

Col. Friedley. Van Bui cn Township. The Republicans of Van Buron Township met in convention Friday, March 12, U 86. The meeting was called to order by

B K. Tbrasbor. Mr. Wra. Kirliy was elected chairman and 0.' W. Eaton, Sec'y. After deciding that a majority of all the

votes cast sbould be required lor the nomination, the convention proceeded to the business of balloting, which resulted as follows: For Justice of the Peace, Wm. Robertson; Constables, Freelnnd Koons aid Frank Carpenter; Trustee, B. JjV Thrasher ; Assessor, J. H. Eaton. After the balloting several remarks wi're made by tho defeated candidates, al! declaring their intentions to stand by the nominees in the coming election. Mr. McPhoeters of Bloomington made a Tow remarks, announcing himself as a candidato for Clerk; also Mr. Neill announced himself candidate for Kecordor. The convention was ono of tho largest ever held in the township, and shows that tho Republicans of Van Buron aro wide awake and will not bo found wanting in the coming elections. O. W.
