launched out in an attack, or misrepre

from the Smalcahl Ariictes, in support j
of his charge of predestination. Mere
he is ai/un wrong, and if he has in his

P'or although nature be able in some
sort to do the external works (for it is
able to withhold the hands from theft
and murder) yet it cannot work the
inward motions, such as the fearof God,
trust in God. chastity, patience, and
such like." Now, my "logical" friend,
will you ple-se put that magnifying
glass to youreyesonce more, and search
our church Symbols through and
through, or may I not now ask you to
have the frankness to confess that the
Smalcald Articles do not teach predesti
nation? J'wia thi* effort of Rev. l>e
Long's to charge upon the Lutheran
church the doctrine of unconditional
predestination, accord with his asserted
Iraternal spirit toward her, and espe
cially when that doctrine is not even
implied in any of her doctrinal state
rnentsT Mr. l>o Long speaks of my
"bad temper" and "low abuse" as over
against his "clm dispassionate argu
ment," whicli i( not egotistic, is at least
an admission that it was necessary to
infornt his readers that what he wrote
was an "argument I" How hard it is to
"twist" an assertion into an "argument."
If I have been obliged af'>nr\lo conduct
the discussion with i/ignity, it is simply
! becaui'i I desiro truth and justice to
prevail without disparagement to auy
one of the reformers.
"Revs. I)r. Fisher, Schnff, Hedge,
Nevin, Cox, etc., are no authority."
Nobody said they were. Indeed iam
not uwaro that they ever claimed to be
Lutherans. Ifw, then, can they be
Lutheran authority? Mr. He Long's
assertion that I either directly or indi
rectly admitted that Luther wan an
"absolute unconditional predestinarian"
is certainly news to any one having
rend my former articles, to which 1
would refer the reader to mv vmdica
tion ot Luther, but as Mr. He Long sees
everythirg to suit Am Jview on tb> qties
tion at issue, by implication, there is no
limit to his "logical'' inferences. What
ever were the views and utterances of
Luther on this subject, they were a
mere side issue a mere ripple, and he
never asked to have them embodied ns
a doctrinal statement. In regard to
I>r. Wall her, I again inform Mr. Ho Long
that he(( Wsither) positively declares ! it
views on predestination to be not Lu
theran, but Calvinislic. As to tuy use
of Seisa in consubstantiation, Mr. l>e
!-ong sees no call for that aa be is not
aware of even "mooting the much
hated word." He has a "distinct recol
! lection" of part of his address in Ontre
I Hall, but of the language, "gross carnal
conceptions of Luther" on the sacra
. menla, which he did use only a few
weeks ago in he has no recollec
tion. And if Mr. I>o Ix>ng is desirous
of knowing who the doaeu or more of
persons are who I can bring forward to
substantiate my charge as to his saying
that "Lutherans have largely come to
Xwingh's view of the Lord's Supper," I
will introduce him personally to each
of them, if he • desires, as my veracity
has not yet been so questioned a* to be
put to the strait of dragging their
names into public print.
In regard to bringing to the notice of
Dr. Seia anything in connection with
which I have used his iBci#') name, Mr.
De Long has my .consent. I will be
obliged to him !De Long) to do so. Let
me also confidently aure Mr. He Long
that the General Synod, whilst repudiat
ing the "Galesburg Rule," does not re
pudiate Dr. Krauth's vindication of
] Luther's refu-al of the hand of /.win
j gb. In a recent issue of the Isitkrran
, published at Gettysburg, the
| headquarter* of General Synod Lulber-
I nnism, a masterly article on this |>oint
j ippears, by Dr. K. Miller, a General
I Synod man, which is most heartily ap-
I proved bv oorchurcb. to my know)
jedgoof I'r. K'dniis, 1 know suliieieiil ot
him to say mat he defend* Luther ami
j the Lutheran Symbol*.
And now once more in regtrd to
! Luther's ini- dectuai inferiority. Ihdil
i not require intellectuality of Hie highest
irder to up the " Ninety-live
I rhevc*,' the Marburg \rtith , the basis
of the Attitbtut Confeaalon, the Bowl
! old Articles, who-- finedo< trin.il State
men is have never yet been excelled, the
i irger and smaller citerhisin*, the
'.liter, ac mding to Her'--,' Cych-j dia,
1" raid to be, next to the Bible, the most
extensively used book ever written.'
The Commentaries on Genesis and j
Galatinn*, not to mention numerous j
other controversial writings, and last,
because so herculean a task, the trans
■ation of the Bible into the German
vernacular, thereby, at one stroke, re
creating a language and a literature
which is today acknowledged without a
rival, to do ail this, which Luther did,
was not th" mo-t vigorous intellect
needed? And yet Mr. De lmng rays
that Luther was intellectually inferior.
Here let me close by calling Mr. De
Long's attention toafew things: You
have admitted the five noints; you are
"ilent on the i bsrge tliat you <//, in
• iilwtnncc, that nntr you could not
•peak well of all the Reformers and do
justfee to Zwingli; I have taken away
from you, by n full quotation from the
Smalcald SrticJe*. the charge of pre
destination. I can, therefore, feeling
"unusually go-al over the result ot this
controversy,' leave you to rest on the
couch of y-iur own making.

Editors Dixociut.— l noticed in
your paper that you are soliciting cor
respondence from different parts of the
County, and I therefore thought I
would give you a few items about
Aaronsburg.
This is rather a quiet village. Our
people are generally minding their own
business, and are not interfering with
- titer peoples business, so you see in
this way wa are moving along quietly
and peacably. | can therefore give you
n-( enrationat stone We have one
lintel which is kept by II U. Hbafer, in
•neb • manner that it is an honor to the
p:onrietor and the. town, if that can be
said of any hotel. You hear no cmr
ousing, no fighting, except an oooeaiou

There are some person* here that will
ocoMionelly enjoy a glass of beer, and a
few that may sometime* prefer some
thing a little stronger, but a drunken
man is a rare sight in our town, unless
he comes from some other place.
Our population is partly made up of
retired farmers, men who have earned
their living by the sweat of their brows,
who have been economical,of temperate
habits, and have thereby gained a com

' very respectable and enviable position
, during the remainder of their lives.
Hut we also have professional men, m< r.
chants and mechanics living here.
Three ministers, three doctors, one
lawyer, onesquire,three merchants nnd
a number of good mechanics. We have
four churches two school house* (but
three schools), and three stores. Our
villge is noted for wide streets and
> flowing pumps in the middle of the
' street.

' laid out by Aaron Levi, a jew, living in
Philadelphia who owned a large body

( dispose of it laid out a town on rather a
. ! large scale with wide streets and free
• j lots for churches and school purj>oe<.
1 ' In order to dispose of the-e town lots,
( he made a lottery, sold tickets and a
' good ninny of the lots were drawn by

Mr, J. B. Benson, formerly Chief of
the Secret Service division of the '
Treasury department, testified before
the House Committee on Expenditure*
in the Department of Justice yesterday
in relation to the defalcation of United
States Marsha! 11*11 in the Western
district of Pennsylvania. In speaking
of the present organization of the I' uited
States District Attorney'* otllce in Pitt*
burg, he said thafall the work was done
by the Attorney, Mr. Stone, and his
assistant, Mr. Wilson, and that Mr. D,
Cameron, who is Senator Mitchell'* law
partner and brother-in-law and who
draws a salary of $1,250 per annum US
an Assistant Attorney, (live* at Wells
boro, Tioga county, about 100 miles from
Pittsburg, and renders no public service.
This state of affairs, he said, had given
riE to a good deal of scandal in thedi*- |
trict. He also made a statement in J
regard to the failure of the Venango N.I J
t onal bank, to the I-LLECL't hut when THE
failure occur ro<l the bank owed the Gov J
eminent $250,000, which wa* there on j
d -po-.it : that by tome manipulation the J
bank got the United State* to agree to
take I,2lft acre* ol land in the oil region* j
in I lynu nt of the del ■ . that tin- Gov
ernmcnt had subsequently to pay an
old mortgage of $13,000 in order to get
a clear title to a jiurtion of the- land,,
and that about two-thirds of the land
was sold afterwards for s'.l,oo*l. The
witness had heard, and believed, that j
also "by some manipulation" the bank .
hinl succeeded in withdraw ingits deposit
in the Treasury of sluo,ooo, thus leav
ing the Government nothing but this oil
land in lieu of the $2*0,001); or, if the
deposit was not returned tojtho bank,
in lieu of thedebt of $lBO,OOO. In answer
to a question bv Mr. Milliken the !

GENT*—Whoever you are, I don't
know; but I thank the Ixnii and feel
grateful to you to know that in this
world of adulterated medicine* tin-re is
one compound that proves and doe* all
it advertises to do, nnd more. Four
years ago 1 had a alight shock of j>al*y,
which unnerved me to such un extent
that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last M*y I
was induced to try Hop Hitter*. I used
one bottle, but did not see any change ;
another did so change my nerves that
they are now as steady as they * ever
were. It used to take both hands to
write, but now iny good right hand
writes this. Now, it you continue U>
manufacture a* honest and good an
article as you do, you will accumulate
an honest fortune, and confer the
greatest bl< -sing on your fellow men
that was ever conferred on mankind.
