Senater Maliene having been insulted by General Early conies te a decision, that be Iim "arrived at advisedly and maturely," " that the rank of General Early, which is his sole claim te receg nitien, does net outweigh the ether con smeraiiens wnicn ioreia such recogni tion," and that, therefore, General Early .. " may proceed with his falsehoods and would-be insults, assured of immunity se far as I am concerned." Nene will be inclined te dispute Senater Mahone's declaration that this decision has been maturely reached ; and it is a very wise decision. "We commend it for its geed sense- We are net sure that its manifest wisdom will obtain much applause for it in the Virginia community te which it is addressed, for they de net seem te held down there that wisdom has "much te de with the consideration of a challenge te mortal combat. There is slim chance for pondering the advis ability of a challenge permitted te the unlucky object of abuse ; about the only question he can ask himself, being, " am I insulted by my social peer ?" As Gen. Mahenc does net dispute his having been insulted, and as the position of him self and Gen. Early, as major-generals in the Confederate service, would seem te put them en the levelest sort of platform with one another, it appears as though Mahone'.s mature decision -would be unpopular in Virginia, its clear wisdom te the contrary notwithstand ing. The senator does seem te make some sort of a .shadowy suggestion that he won't challenge Early because of his bad character ; although as he previous ly declares that Early's charge " would be neither met nor evaded by recrimina tion," we may net be justified in sup posing that he means te intimate any evil of his antagonist when he says that " the public of Virginia need no specifi cation of the facts concerning General Early en which I rely for this action." The public of Virginia arc better posted than the public of the nation generally who will be puzzled te determine hew ex-Majer-General Early is net fit meat for the pistol of ex-Majer-General Ma hone. Te tell the truth we fear that General Early bears the better character of the two ; but it may be because he is net se well known. "We knew him as the general whom Sheridan whipped, and as the fellow-commissioner of General Beauregard in drawing a lottery ; we have also heard of him as an old man with a very sharp tongue. All of which may be things net te be proud of, but still they don't unlit him te be shot at by Mahone. Perchance Mahenc may mean te intimate that Early is crazy ; but lie don't show it in manifesting a low opinion of Mahone. " e greatly fear that the senator will have te rely upon the indisputable wis dom of his course for his justification. It w:.s wise because dueling is foolish, and especially wise because Gen. Early is an old man of nearly eighty years who is seen te step out of a world in which he has no particular cause te linger. Whereas Gen. Mahone, with a score less of years marked against him, has the very nice ellice of United States senator, and duties beside as the leader of a party in Virginia, te wed him te earth. It is manifestly a very unequal combat, te which Gen. Early would provoke him ; and as both the combatants have well- earned reputations as fire-eaters, and hate each ether ii tensely, it is a certain conclusion that if they met one or both would die before they separated. Ma hone cannot afford te die ; therefore Mahone will net givhislife into Early's keeping; and would be a feel if he did. Can it be that Virginia will condemn him for net being such a feel ? It is most likely. They have strange ideas down there of what constitutes felly. They get angry and call one another evil names and sheet and don't hit and shake hands. Congressman Wise and State Senater lliddleberger shot three times at each ether a day or two age and then Riddleberger approached Wise with ex tended hand and smiling face and de clared that he had always loved Wise as a brother, or words te that effect , though he had challenged him for calling hini a liar and a thief, or something of that kind: and they clasped hands; and are supposed te have done the very clean thing no doubt. A Question or Attachment. The triangular contest in the Dauphin Lebanon judicial district will result in the election of the Democratic candidate, provided the Republican candidate in Lebanon can command the vote of his paity there. There is some doubt as te the completeness with which he can de this, as he has influential Republican enemies in his own county. He tri umphed ever Funk for the nomination and new a very geed excuse is open te his fclNwv Republicans who have no love for him te desert IiimforSimenton ; but he can retaliate en the latter te some ex tent in Dauphin, se that the probability is that the Democratic candidate will have a plurality in the two counties. As, however, Simonton, will probably have the plurality of the vote in Dauphin, his purpose is said te be te claim te be elected by it en the ground that Dauphin is the district and Lebanon is only at tached te it. The verbiage of the con stitution and the law en the subject may create a possible question in the mind of a hair-splitting lawyer, but no layman of ordinary sense will doubt that the pur pose of the law is te give every voter in the district a vote for its judge. Dauphin has the 40,000 population needed for a special district. The con stitutien says that such a county " shall constitute a separate district " ; and fur ther provides that counties of less popu lation "should be formed into cenve--nient single districts, or, if necessary, may ba attached te contiguous dis. tricts." If a small county is thus" attached te another it certainly becomes part of it for the purposes and uses for which a judiciary is.previded, and it can net be reasonably claimed that it Is net se miifrii n. imrh nf if. nc tn Ani- i, i.,f I - . v j.iiw bite UUIJ UL I cheesing the judge upon all "the electors. We congratulate the Kev. Dr. Green wald upon the completion of his fifty! years et service in the church, which he has adorned with eloquent words, zeal ous labors and blameless life. As" it has been given te him te see the right, Dr. Greenwald has earnestly declared it, and higher reward than this cannot be given te man, te whom his talents are given te be used according te their measure, te earn the award " well done." Nene in this community will dispute the eminent fitness which Dr. Greenwald has shown for his calling, or the lustre his life has shed upon it. Perhaps Riddlebcrger was leaded. didn't knew it Ax English critic,speaking of the Seuth era states of the Union, prophecies that their future development is te be one of the wonders of this century. When Mahenc and Early, get at it, it is te be hoped that they will net emit the important matter of providing their pistols with caps. It is a great shame te deprive the practice of the cede of this last ro re maininir vestige of interest. As a factor in the social ethics of our agiicultural and once peaceable county, the hip pocket is forging rapidly te the freut. It broke loose again Saturday night iu a rural town and the result of its antics is elsewhere reported in the account of the bloody tragedy en the line of the Reading railroad. It is quite tee utterly touching te read of tiic beatific smile that adorned Riddlc berger's visage as with hand outstretched in friendly gesture he walked up te the person who had denounced him as a liar and scoundrel, and had, moreover, pepped his pistol at him three or four times te show that he meant what he said. Rid dlebcrger, if nothing worse, has certainly demonstrated himself an amoesin' cuss. Tin: burden of proof rests upon Mr. Wolfe, as pointed out by that stout cham pion of his cause against the Besses, the Petroleum World, the editor of which, Goeiga E. Mapes, is a warm peiSDnal friend and coadjutor of the independent Republican candidate. He has charged a public officer with serious offenses against the state ; the allegations have been promptly and fully denied ; the next step is te submit the evidence in the case and that duty devolves upon Mr. Wolfe. Tin: glimmering suspicion long enter tained by sensible people that Mr. Dis trict Attorney Corkhill is a crank, has strengthened with each succeeding day of the history of the presidential sheeting, until at this time it has assumed the shape of a positive conviction. The latest reli able eutciving of this frisky functionary is his expressed opinion that the fact that Guitcau is alive te-day is a disgrace te the country. The administration of a little salt might possibly have the effect of bringing Corkhill te a true sense of his position as the vindicator of law and order. Brave old Baren Stcubcu deserves an honored place in the memory of the Amer ican people. He it was who first drilled the continental army and converted it from a gathering of patriots te a body of drilled troops, and the example of his own sturdy courage produced an inspiriting effect in the often wavering arms of the struggling colonists. It is therefore emi nently fitting that the United States should give a heaity welcome te his descendants whom wc have invited te take part iu the Yorktewu centennial. It may be interest ing te stale, as showing that tin old Baren's instincts still prevade his descend ants', that the brother of one of the German visitors, also a Yen Steuben, was in the Union army, and was killed at Spottsyl- vauia court-Heuse. His brother, after finding the grave, proposes te erect a monument ever it. Oi'it esteemed contemporary,! he Wilkcs barre Union-Leader, is wilfully blind te actual occurrences, wheu in an issue as recent as Saturday it calls upon its readers te " mark the prophecy ! David Davis will never sit in the chair lately occupied by vice President Arttffer, " or else there is an cecal t significance iu its words te determine which it may be necessary te read between the Hues. Friend Begert certainly can-net be guility of any such revolutionary purpose as resisting the per fermaucc of the duly expressed will of a majority of the scnateis. Is it possible that the Leader's implied taunt, "he can't, " which supplements the above sol emn prediction, is designed te poke fun at the distinguished fence-sitter's corpo cerpo corpe ral proportions. The wicked editor should show mere respect for the peweis that be. Whatever nees up w;u sutiiu- anmn dewu. The well-worn saw of childhood has been recently exemplified in the grain markets aud we have a further illustra tion in that ordinarily inueceut commodity milk. During Saptembcr last there was quite a boom started in the milk market in Philadelphia and the price went up uatil it finally reached as high as six cents a quart wholesale. The effect of this was te attract large quantities of milk te the city aud-semc creameries stepped making butter, shipping their milk supply in stead. The result was that en Wednes day last there came a crash aud the price of milk fell rapidly. At the Reading depot plenty of milk was offered at two and a-half cents a quart and no takers. A prominent creamery manager in Chester county, whose butter is most decidedly "gilt-edge," thinks that the milk business will be unsettled for some time, due te the overdoing of the creamery business. The first break in prices was in the skim milk cheese market, which eecamc overstocked Jrem the supply turned out by the numerous creameries and the price of all ether dairy products followed. The effect of the creameries will ba te keep it out of the power of the milk dealers te advance the price of milk beyond a certain limir.geverned by the price of butter, for whenever it becomes mere profitable te ship milk instead of unking it into butter, the large creameries which control large quantities of milk can ship their milk and the result is the breaking of the milk market as it did a few days age. This action en the part of the cream eries caused considerable disgust te the I LANCASTER DAILY JUVTELLIGENC JEfL M01S DAY, farmers shipping milk te the city, and one farmer who had been getting eight cents a quart for a week or two and had te drop te below half that was mere than dis gusted. m m PERSONAL..

ISTKY. xtV HIS M1N- Au Autobiographical Sketch of n Leng Career or J.aber In the Gospel, Con densed from Uis Discourse in Trinity Lutheran Church Sunday Kvenlnc "And thou slialt remember all the way which the Lord thy Ued led thec." Dent, viii: i. I have never been mere embarrassed iu the preparation of a discourse than I have been as te the kind of address I ought te prepare for this occasion. Something seems te be required of me, but what would be proper for me te say I really de net certainly knew. I would rather say nothing at all. I would much prefer te let ethers speak whatever is suitable should be said, aud te remain silent mvself. I am deeply moved, and heartily grateful te my t uear irienas ei tue ministry, of the vestry and of the congregation for their kiud sentiments, and I yield te their judgement as te the propriety of commemorating the eOth anniversary of my ministry. I have net opposed their determination te cele brate it with appropriate exercises. I thank tlicm that they have respected my wishes te glorify the graceand church aud work el Christ, aud te refer as little as possible te ray unworthy self iu whatever is said and done en this occasion. My life has been te insignificant and my work tee barren of important results te render it worthy of special commemoration. I have pursued the even tenor of my way since the beginning of my ministry 50 years age. My ministerial life has ilewcd quietly en ; it has net been striking or prominent in any way, nor different from the ordi nary pastoral work or thousands of ether ministers of our church, uer in any respect mere deserving than theirs of any special notice or remark. Still I thank Ged that lle has permitted me te complete fifty years of practical work as a minister in His church. I yield with, much reluctance te the judgment of my brethren te occupy the pulpit te night, especially as that judg ment takes the form of a request for some personal reminiscences of the fifty years' ministry, which it is the purpose of the occasion te commemorate. I am placed in a delicate and rather embarrassing posi tion. It is always painful for me te oc cupy a position, or te use language that may be liable, iu auy degree, te the im putatien of egotism. As, however, all reference te myself is unavoidable in any reminiscences of the past that I may utter, still I will endeavor te avoid every thing that could saver of self-landatien. Iu the direction given in the text te the Israelites te remember the way along which Ged has led them. He recalls net only things commendable, but also things humiliating. Such humiliating rcminis cences the record of almost every man's life will furnish. Ged's ways lead net always ever high places," but as often along deep valleys. The text calls for a " remembtanec of the way which the Lord thy Ged hath led thee." Such remembrance is always proper. It is the duty of all men. It is useful te ourselves and te ethers. It is taken for granted that the Lord Ged de'lh lead us. Ne Christian man doubts this. It is an article of our faith. Ged rules in the affairs of the church aud 1 he world. He holds our lives in his hand. He orders our ways and cheeses our changes for us. The destiny of individuals as well as of nations is directed by His su preeo will. His unseen hand leads us. It is often by a way that we knew net, and perhaps would net have chosen, but which He orders, and prepares, and cenduc te such ends, as His infinite wisdom ordains. Among the things te be remembered t -day, I would name first. The lluuible Condition in Lire in which the way of Ged's Previdcncn. personal te myself, commenced. My father was a carpenter, and his principal employ ment was framing and building the Iare Swiss barns of Frederick county, Md. They were similar te the large Penn sylvania farmers' barns, se common in this county, and nearly all in the region around him were huildcd by him. My mother's parents died when she was yet quite young, and she wa3 put out te live among stranger? She performed such labor as women then, as new, performed en the farm, and in the dairy. Beth parents ate the bread of toil. Beth were in humble circumstances. Beth belonged te the laboring class of society. Bv industry and economy they were able, at length, te purchase a small farm, and lived in a home of their own, but up te the hour of their death, they lived plainly, industri ously and without the luxury of wealth. I was brought up in the country, and as neither of my parents would tolerate idle boys and girls about them, their sons and daughters were early taught te work and make themselves useful. When old enough, I and my two younger brothers cultivated the small farm, whilst my father was away louewmg ins tracicet a carpenter. At cer tain seasons of the year, when there was net much te de en the farm, I was re quired te assist my father at such light work at the carpenter's business as I was ab!e te de. At that time the free school system was net introduced into that section of the state, and all our schools consisted of one, or perhaps two, quarter's pay school, in the mid-winter season of the year. My father was an ardent friend of education, and although he had enjoyed very limited educational advantages himself he was anxious te give his children the best edu cation which he could afford. My father was a man of decided relig ious principles and a regular member of the church. His large German family Bible, aud Arndt's AVahres Christcnthum, and Jay's Morning and Evening Exercises, constituted his favorite and almost his only religious reading, My mother was a particularly devout and godly woman. She loved Christ and His church and was a regular attendant and communicant. The last and most vivid recollection of her that is daugucrrcetyped en my memory is her sitting in the Lutheran church in Freder ick at the preparatory service of the last communion she partook of en earth. I re member well her habit of sitting iu her room ou Sunday afternoons reading the Bible or some book of devotion, whilst the silent tears coursed down her cheeks aud wetted the page she was pursuing. She would talk se seriously te me of Ged and Christ, and my soul's salvation, that I was often compelled voluntarily te kneel down by her side and pray. Fer granting me godly pa-.eatr, I most devoutly thank Ged ler their instruction, nxample and influ ence, I ewe uuder Ged whatever of geed my subsequent life has brought forth. And here I call te remembrance another important fact in the way of Ged's leading which is : The Gradual Development and growth of a gracious disposition from very earliest childhood. The system of conveisien, neiu and taught by a certain class of Christians, which requires all per sons te pass through a certain process of conversion, aim who insist upon their knowing the time and place and circum stances thereof, I am practically wholly unacquainted with. I never passed through any such experience. I have no knowledge of the time and place and circumstances of conversion. As far back as I have auy recollection, I entertained serious thoughts. loved the name of Christ, relished religious j iceimgH, auu practiced anu ioek pleasure iu piaycr te Ged. I was consecrated te Ged in holy baptism, and thereby entered into sacramental covenant with Him in the early months of my life, and from the spiritual regeneration of which baptism is the divinely appointed means, ray future Christian life grew and sticngthened and developed, se that I relished divine things at se early a "period that the beginnings thereof lie back of all memory te locate anything like the time and place and circumstances of it. The spirit of a pious mother was se early infused into my ncarc mac i seem always te have breathed it. And the strong masculine faith which a believing father se confidently expressed and which was se utterly opposed te all un belief and doubt en the one hand, and te all emotional extravagances en the ether, fixed my religious convictions at se early a period that they grew with my bodily growth, and strengthened with my physical strength. Ail my subsequent observation of religion, in ethers a3 well as my own maturcr experiences of religion in my own heart, have convinced me that this is the true priuciple that ought te ba realized iu every one's Christian character. The principle of a divine lite in the soul im planted at baptism, ought never te die, but live aud grew and mature, until it is perfected m Heaven. Commensurate with physical life, should be the beginning and the progress of spiritual life. The lamb ought never te be turned into a wolf, te be changed back te a Iamb, or a sheep of Ged's pastil re again. Once a child of Ged, at baptism, it must remain a child of Ged, forever. Dr. Greenwald continues at. iinsii1ir. able length te notice ether interesting reminiscences of his early life ; of his theological education under the tuition of Rev. Dr. David E. Schaefler, of Frederick, 3Id., te whose care and wisdom he is se much indebted, for whatever of classical and theological education he received. Dr. Greenwald next refers te his nnnli. catien for ordination into the ministry ou the 10th of October, 1831, of his being licensed te preach by the Synod of Mary land en the 18th of the same month, and of his subsequent ordination by the Synod or Ohie. Dr. Greenwald then gives a very graphic and interesting account of his journey te what was then the far west, and we are sorry we have net space te print it iu full. Theio were no railroads then, and he traveled ever the mountains en horseback with saddlebags thrown across his saddle, and overcoat and umbrella strapped en behind. He knew net whither he was going, but finally struck the Ohie river at Wheeling, crossed en a ferry beat and ascending the Ohie river, aud striking into the interior for 53 miles, reached New Philadelphia. Here after a con ference with Rev. Jehn hteugh, the pioneer of the Lutheran church in the West, he finally made arrangements te locate in New Philadelphia, then a vil- iage el eUO inhabitants, new a city of e,UUl. lle preached the gospel te the in habitants for many miles around, often travcrsiug readless forests te meet his ap pointments ; and though nearly all the people lived in rude leg cabins, he feuud them intelligent, generous, pious and often cultured. Dr. Greenwald remained in New Philadelphia 20 years ; thence he was called te Columbus 3 years, thence te Easteu, Pa., where he remain ed for 12$ years, and then came te Lan caster, where he has been stationed for the past 141 years. Iu all these places, and through this extended period of time, he had endeavored te pi each only " Christ, and Him crucified." His ordination vows obligated him te preach net philosophy, nor the arts, uer politics, nor morals merely, but salvation through a crucified Saviour. ic is common te hear a certain class of persons talk of advanced Christianity, " "advanced Christian thought." But these terms have a very delusive meaning. The " advance " spoken of is net progress forward, but a stepping backward. If it means mere than Christianity, it is net Christianity. If it is less than Christianity it is net Christianity. We waut a Chris tianity, pure and simple, as Christ taught it, as Christ lived it, as Christ made it, in His own person, and in that of His holy apostles. Seme men gleiy in "liberal Christianity," and beast they arc "liberal Christians." They de net mean liberal with their money, or their charities, or their influ ences, but liberal with their opinions. But such a " liberal Christianity " is Christianity diluted, adulterated, a com pound with the smallest part Christianity. Such a " liberal Christian," has usually the Christian part left out. Let me bu able te say at the end of my ministry and at the close of my life, says Dr. Green-, wald, " I have believed en Christ, I have loved Christ, I have preached Christ, I have lived Christ, I am Christ's, and I hope te be with Christ iu His kingdom of glory forever," and I can sav no 'mere. I desire no mere, I can have no mere, and I will be content with the review of the past, and I will with joy contemplate the revelations of the future. Dr. Greenwald again rcferrini! te his preceptor. Dr. Shcail'er speaks of his un wavering adherence te the doctrines and order of the Lutheran church, aud adds "I have never held any ether system of the ology than the Lutheran system. I have never for a moment cither questioned or doubted its truth. The conviction that the word of Ged is the only rule of faith, and that the symbolical book of the Lutheran church are a true confession of the faith of the rule, hnscrewn with mv growth and strengthened with my strength." The Rev. Dr. next refers te the revival and progress of the church during the east fifty years and concludes his sermon in the following : I thank Ged that I am spared te celebrate this preset-1 occasion. Goodness and mercy have followed me all the days of my life. If it were 'allowed me te live my Hlfe ever again. I de net knew that I would cheese it te be other wise, than that along which Providence has led me. However fimpcrfectly I fel lowed the leadings of Ged's providence, yet I always felt and feel new, that in every change I made.- Ged chose and opened up the wav.ler me. Life has its bitter as well as its sweet. Iu my life, I acknowledge with a grateful heart, that the sweet has been in great ox ex cess of the bitter. My four pastoral rela tions of 20 years at New Philadelphia, of 3 years at Columbus, of 12 at Easten and of 14 i at Lancaster, have been productive of the greatest amount of earthly happi ness. Each was pleasant, and yet each one succeeding seemed mere pleasant than the proceeding and the last the most delightful of all. The affectionate heartiness with which the vestry and the -members, both male and tcmale, el this church of the Hely Trinity, have devised, and planned, and carried out, these anniversary services that of all etherr, pastors and members, who have manifested se deep an interest in them, has awakened emotions of grate ful feeling in my heart that I cannot ex press. Te one and all I would extend my heartfelt thanks, and I pray that the best blessings of our dear Lord Jesus Christ may be vouchsafed in largest measure te all, in mind, body and estate, and that lie would grant te them and theirs " in this world, knowledge of His truth, and in the world te come life everlasting." Hew lone our kind Heavenly Father mav yet spare me for any degree of activity and usefulness in His church, I, of course, knew net. The increasing frequency with which, of late, I have been prostrated by illness, reminds me that auy time my life work may be ended. I wait in hope. I have ever been in Ged's hands, and lam iu His hands still. I could wish that my life work had been better done. I, perhaps, have done what I could, but net what I would. Rude as it is, I leave it with mv Lord. Dravins that He will pardon all deficiencies, cover np all defects, overlook all mistakes, rec tify all errors, and save me at last, a peer unworthy sinner, who hopes for salvation net for any worth of his, but alone for the sake of the merit and mediation efJesus Christ our only Lord and Saviour.

Regar, Clinten Leush and ethers, who had been spending the evening at Ebcrly's tavern, started toward their homes, and en coming te Miller's tavern, which was closed, halted upon his pavement, and some of them said. " Let us go in." Ludwig replied : " Ne, we will net?go in ; it will cost money te de se and I have no money." Seme one of the party insisted en going in, and Miller, who was standing at a side gate adjoining the store-room, overheard the remark. He retorted that they should net go in even if they had money. One of the Rcgarssaid with an oath that they would go in that it was a public heuse and they had a right te enter ir. Miller warned them te go away ; that they were un der his reef, and if they did net leave he would make them de se. Draw ing a pistol, he fired a shot upon the pave ment, as he alleges, for the purpese el" scaring the party oil". Immediately they rushed towards him, Gensemer calling te one of the party. " Give me that," where upon the one addressed handed him a re volver. Miller at once lired thrce mere shots, all of which took elleet iu Gcnse mcr's body one of them entering near the groin, another penetrating the windpipe, and another entering the check, and per haps penetrating the brain. Gense mer reeled backward, cried " I am shot," and after staggering back ward a few steps fell en the pave ment. Drs.

Squire Garmau visited the scene ; there was a great crowd pres ent ; Gensemer had been carried across-the street some distanec front the tavern, and was taken thence te his home. During the row stones were thrown and Miller was struck upon the hand and badly bruised by one el them, but no bones weie broken. Whether this was before or after he litetl the pistol is net stated. He claims te have acted strictly iu self-defense. A com pi lint was made against Miller by A. L. Ludwig and he was arrested by Constable Welfskill, en a warrant issued by Sqnire Garman. After Gcnscnicr's death, Squire Gaiman committed Miller te the Lancaster county jail for a hearing before him en Saturday next, and the ac cused war, taken te prison last night by Constable Welfskill and Win.

They viewed the body, and adjourned until this afternoon, when a pest mortem examii:a ion will be made by the surgeons. Who the illen Arc-. Beth 3IHIcr and Gensemer have borne fair reputations up te the time of the present sad affair. Miller owns a large store and tavein in the village, is in geixl pecuniary circumstances, is almost fifty years of age, has a respectable family and has been looked upon as one of the most useful and progressive men of the neigh neigh neigh boihend. lie was especially careful, it is said, iu complying with all the previsions of the liquor law, and was somewhat im perious, ill tempered and even insulting te these who wished him te violate them. Gensemer was a tanner, a geed an I steady workman, though he sometimes drank mere than waa geed for him. lie was about 33 years of age anil leaves a wife and child. He did net own the tan nery in which he worked, but he owned the heuse in which he lived. He w.is net rich but his near relatives are among the most solid people in the uiiitlii-ru end of county. The tragedy has cieated great excite ment in -the community in which both men were se well known. Miller has retained S. H. Reynolds and J. Hay Hrewu as counsel te defend him, and the friends of Mi.
