The Independent * Farewell
With full consciousness of having dis
charged onr duty faithfully to oar patrons,
both advertisersacdsubscribers, weenu lay
aside our pen without the slightest remorse.
We have had, during our two end i> half
years editorial career, at heart the weal of
our common country, especially the inter
ests of the South, Georgia and Florida have
been special objects of our solicitude.
With Georgia's successes we have rejoiced ;
with Florida’s defeats wo have wept. We
have vindicated right to the very best of
our ability j we have denounced wrong in
public places in until ensured terms, spar
ing not the wrong doer ; and while we
without reserve, denounced the miscon
duct and excoriated and laeceruled the
official, wo did it believing it to ho a duty
due to the public, but acquit ou rconseieuee
of any persoual malice or ill will towards
any. We are not infallible, and in some
instances may have misjudged the cause;
may not have fully utidcrtood tho motives
of men, aud may bavo been unwarranta
bly severe in onr denunciations. If so, it
was error of judgement and not of inten
tion. We Ml all wo conld for our coun
ty. for onr Senatorial and Congressional j
restrict* in the late campaign. Wo claim
nothing for our individual efforts. Whether
we accomplished anything or uot, we
leave it to the people to decide.
After this issue The Independent will
visit you no more. Wo have sold the
office to Wossrs. Haw, & Mclntosh, of
the Reporter. The very few parties tlmt
have paid u* in advance, will receive the
Reporter until their term of subscription
expires. We repeat that they are very
few. Wo have reasons, of course, for
bringing our editorial career to a close, and
we have no hesitancy iu giving them first
and paramount to nil other* are, that we
•re tired of the publication—the manage
ment of the office. With that part of the
business we bad no acquaintance, and
have never acquired any taste for it, aud
consequently, we have boon greatly im
posed upon. Onr patrons have’neglected
to pay us, nnd wo have continued to in
dulge them until we seo tlmt further iu
dulgenee would prove disastrous. The
office has made money ; its assets are ten
fold its liabilities. Indeed, its liabilities
•re compnrtirely nothing, therefore to
•void reposted auuoynnees, growing out
of the nmnagemeut of the office, wo pre
ferred to dispose of it aud to turn our at
tention to something more agreeable nnd
profitable. We think the failure of our
subscribers to pay ns is attributable more
to forgetfulness than the want of inclina
tion ; but their forgetfulness was just as
injurious to ns, ns if the neglect had been
willful. If they had paid us, even for tho
two first years, (we mean the delinquents)
we would have sacrificed our own feelings
end inclinations nnd continued The Inde
pendent through the campnign of 1876;
but they didn't do it though oft requested,
and we aro determined not to involve our
self or friends. Wo could have controlled
uny essential amount of money to continue
the paper, but wo have long since de
termined to abandon nonpaying enter
prises. The Independent died both sol
vent and testate, and we are its sou! exe
cutor. Its liabilities shall be paid; its as
setts must be collected. And now, we
pledge ourselves and everybody else, never
to take charge of the business manage
ment of a printing office. We know noth
ing about it now, and we nro determined
uot to grow in the knowledge of it. In
laying down tho quill and bidding adieu
to our contemporaries, we are happy
to say on onr part, that the relations and
intercourse have been of tho most pleasant
character. No unkind words hare passed
and nothing hut emotions of kindness
have fouud a lodgement with us. Aud
now, to the individual members of the
press, we wish tho greatest success, and
hope that their combined efforts will ho a
power for good. To one aud all farewell.
And now, for tho good of the oountry,
we hope that the Reporter will receive a
patronage commensurate with its merit.
There Is nothing that tends more directly
to the udvauoemeut of the country's iutcr
eat* than the press, and it should he sup
ported. We eon safely say that the Re
porter will be conducted with abili'y, and
prove, if liberally patronized, n source of
inestimable value to tho country. Wo
wish tho proprietors great aucce*a, and
lies peak for them a largo patronage.

[For OAi.nAiiau’s Inuei-esi.ekt, )
Is Baptism Essential to Salvation 7
Mb. Editoh : As I am an honest seeker
after truth, and therefore ready to correct
any mistakes into which 1 may fall, you
will allow me space to say that I cheerfully
retract my inference from the r<qx-titiou
of the thought tlmt "Inquirer’' was no
theologian. I did ni t give the proper
emphasis to the word “*uH,”awniull word,
sir, but liko some other small words, a
vastly important one. Home three or four
months ago, when this inquiry was first
propounded in your columns, ‘-Inquirer"
was not a theologian ; but happily for him
self and the world, that state of ignorance
is past and we now have one theologian
more added to the list. I made a mistake
of, we will say six months, in this matter.
This at least is what I suppose from the
language, "That is not repeating the ad
mission that lam not a theologian now,"
which "Inquirer" makes use of in his last
article. Bo I auppose lam to understand
the other phrase, "I was ignorant Hum."
I will also take the liberty of suggesting
further to "Inquirer: Paul nays, "When I
was n child, I spake as a child, etc., hut
when I became a man, I put away childish
things." Now, lot "Inquirer” act upon
this wisdom. When he was a povitiate
in theology (as he was obont six months
ago) he did right to adopt the name which
he still retains—"luqniror it was a fit
ting discription of his “then” attainments,
but had lie not better now put away that
name aud adopt one more in harmouy with
his “now” attainments? Since I have ta
ken it upon myself to aid and assist him,
let me say that "theologian” might fill tho
requirement of lire situation ; but, sir. do
uot let him suppose that everybody will
believe the title properly assumed. Men
have a perverse way of thinking for them
nelves iu this free land of ours, and if he
docs not hereafter show any greater evi
dence of his right to that namo than he
lias done heretofore, I am afraid his claim
will not be recogiiizcd~ho will lie in a
condition of “a man" to whom the Apos
tle James alluded, who says lie has faith
but lias not works-that is, nobody will
believe hint. What we judge “Inquirer”
by, as well as others, is not bis assump
tions or clnims, or even his words, but Iris
works; and there is yet wanting evidence
to convince tho skeptical that he is a theo
logian "now.” “Inquirer” does not at
tempt. to do what lias been demanded of
him—that is, give a single direct declara
tion in support of his theory, Biich as to
have shown in support of the doctrine of
justification by faith, Uutil he does that
or bliowb that tlmt is not necessary to the
maintenance of his position, I conclude
that his theory is not established. I wish
to examine one or two of the passages he
adduced in his last article. “The commis
sion," he says, “for thoso who advocate
salvation by faith alone ought to read, He
that believeth, and is saved, may be bap
tised if convenient." Will he allow no
the same liberty to suggest that it might
road for him and thoso like him, "lie that
believeth nnd is not baptized shall he
damned, ns well as ho tlmt believeth not.”
Moreover, I would have tho render of this
controversy to hear in mind that • ‘ln
quirer” is the only ono who bus admitted
that the essentiality of our baptism (to
salvation) depends upon circumstances,
lie it is who said, "I believe tlmt thou
sands, yea, millions, of heathens have and
will lie saved, who never heard of Christ,
or of baptism ; so in reference to children
who die before they reaoh years of ac
countability.” He it is who said. “I did
say, and now say that baptism with tins
condition precedent, nnd the opportunities
Tendering it possible, is essential to salva
tion.” lam one who advocates the essen
tiality of baptism (not to salvation) inde
pendent of circumstances—circumstances
ennnot properly relieve any ono of tho ob
ligations he is under to obey God ; even
"Inquirer,” now will admit that I believe
iu the importance of obedience. Do not.,
therefore, represent those of ns who be
lieve til at salvation comes by faith alone,
(not a dead faith alone), as under-valuing
the importance of obedience to the law
of baptism and all other laws of Christ.
Hut again. "Inquirer” gnvbled tho scrip
ture when lie represents I’eter as saying:
"The like figure wherennto even baptism
doth also now save us," nnd cuts oft - the
remainder of the sentence by which that is
qualified. That remainder is as follows :
(not tho putting away of the filth of the
flesh, lint the answer of a good conscience
towards God) by tho resurrection of Jesus
Christ Now read “The like figure where
nnto even baptism doth also now snvo ns
(not tho putting sway of tho filth of the
flesh, Vint the answer of a good conscience
towards God) by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ.” Moreover, if you compare with
this the command to Paul “to wash away
his sius" yon will desive light from the
comparison. It Paul’s sins were to be lit
erally washed away, then it was the put
tiny away of the filth of the flesh, or it
was tho application of a material visa tile
element “water to aniuvisablo immaterial
part of the mail—the conscience. ” I think
it is easier to believe that the words “wash
away your sins” are to bo understood, as
they are often interpreted emblem at ically.
Thanking "Inquirer” for the information
given in regnrd to tho existence of the
epistle of James, I would call bis attention
to the fact that if Abraham was justified
by works iu tIS seuoe in which ho ("In
quirer”) seems to urge the necessity of
works to justification, then he was justified
by a work which he never performed. He
Dever actually offered up Isaac, aud there
fore ho was justified by a work which lie
never performid. "Seest thou flow faith
wrought with his works, and by works
was faith made perfect ? And the scrip
ture was fullfilled which saitli Abraham
telle red God and it was accounted unto
him for rigeteousnes*." Faith wrought
with hi* works ns a living man would
work with an implement of any kind—and
tho faith wiihout work* is a* a dead body
would be in the eye* of other*—destitute
of tho evidences of life. And thi* brings
me to tell why baptism should he observed
by even Chrixtians—as an evidence of our
love for the Saviour who observed it and
commanded it himself. Why was baptism
instituted 1 It is a test of our allegiunce
to the King in Zion ; it is essential, not to
salvation, but to the complete obedience
of that law aud hence to the perfect vindi
cation of his profeimioh. This, like other
works of divine sppointmcDt, is evidence
of otir faith in Christ, moreover, it si
lently bnt eloquently preaches Christ to
thoso who may witness it. The two great
declarations of Paul, ‘‘he died for our sins
and srose again for our justification” are
embodied in it. It separated the Child of
God from the world—he onght to be so
separated It is the bodge of disci pleali ip
and ought to be put on by every one who
believes. It is is a burial with Christ and
ought to bo administered to every one who
is dead with Christ. Resides all this Je
sus has commanded it, and the loving loyal
heart delights in his commands for the
command's sake, but doos not vitalize and
keep alivo my faith- -nor does any other
work. The Spirit, living, active, opera
tive, does that. He whom Jesus went away
to send to us. Even the Third Person in
the Godhead is the power that does that,
"Born of water,” os made use of by Jesus
in his conversation with Nicodcmus may
or may not refer to baptism, I freely coti
feas I do not know. ’ Many correct inter
praters of the sacred scriptures think it
does ; many others think differently. If i
it does, it does not teach the Popish dog
ina adduced from it by "Inquirer"—that
is, that there is no salvation out of the
Church ; nor docs it teach the other equal
erroneous dogma which Lather contend
ho vehemently against some three hun
dred years ago, nnd which Paul had so
pointedly condemned previous to his day
—that is, of salvation by works ; nor yet
does it teach that other doctrine which so
many atrivo to believe, of baptism regen
eration—tho efficacy of water to wash
away the moral malady which afflicts the
race of Adam. That array of profoundly
learned men which “Inquirer” collated
might bo indefinitely increased ; but
Querist is so fearful of the human author
ity, which in tho first part of his last arti
cle “Inquirer" charges him with relying
on or looking to that, it does not satisfy
my mind like one single pointed declara
tion of inspiration. Standing upon tho
plain meaning of the lunguage of Christ
—language which iN susceptible of only
one possible interpretation, “He that be
lieveth hath everlasting life,” nnd Hint
confirmed by its frequent repetition. I
feel perfectly safe, and do not need the
aid of human creeds or human authority
of any kind, either to understand that
passage or to confirm or strengthen it ;
and when Christ says that, Bloomfield
and Hnrucs, nnd Whitby and Dwight, the
Methodist Conference, mid the Episcopal
Convention, and tho Eeumsrieal Cyuucil
may all say to the reverse, hut it does not
shake my faith. They all are fallible ;,
only Christ is infallible. No possible trick
of u Conference or Council, or of n man or
of any other being can pervert the lan
guage or obscure the meaning. It is so
plain tlmt a wayfaring man, though a fool, >
uoed not err therein. "110 that believeth
hath everlasting life." Who then of us is
justly chnrgable with seeking for truth in
human creeds ? ” “Blessed is lie tint oou
demneth not himself in that thing which
he alloweth.” llow merciful is he ! How
generous ! not to inflict the severe eriti-;
cisms for grammatical solecisms which i
Querist has rendered himself so obnox-1
ions I How grateful ought I to be ! and
how doulilly grateful ought Ito be, par
ticularly if lie should make such work of
this as he does of scriptural exercises ! But
alas ! alas ! that ho should so mar the
the beauty of that generosity by speaking
of it so publicly 1 Well, even so does it
sometimes come to pass ! Aud he will
look for argument! Does a man or theo
logian who finds wlint be wishes to with
such astonishing facility as lias been uni
formly disylayed by this writer ever con
descend to look for anything ? IXios lie
suppose that people will beiieve that one
who has been metamorphosed into a theo
logian from a mere inquiry in the short
space of six months, ever lias any need to
look for anything. Querist.

THE NEW BURR- A NAME FOR IT.
From Whence It Cometh.
Shortly after the war, a little dark, green
weed, hearing a small yellow bloom, term
inating iu a star-shaped burr, made its ap
pearance in our vicinity. It has flourish
ed and increased ever since, seeding freely
and spreading rapidly, until now it covers
all waste places about this, and many
neighboring towns, where nothing else
will grow. It is no use whatever, so far
as we can learn. The burs adhere to tho
ladies’ dresses in rather u troublesome
manner in tho autumn, and on this ac
count, ns well as its luxurious growth, and
no person knowing anything about it here,
except it has not been growing {in tiiis vi
cinity many years, being comparatively a
stranger, we give tho following descrip
tion for the benefit of thoso who are curi
ous in this respect. The name of the plant
is Aouulhospermum Xsnthiridcs, of liave
uel. It is one of the order composita-, and
near to the common aheep burr—Xantlii
um—whence ita specific name. It is not
yet in the botany books, having been
only seen since the war.
It ii supposed to have been introduced
from South America, through wool
imported for the factories. But however
introduced, this exotic like tho Lespidiza
Strata, has certainly now got as strong a
foothold, aud spreads as rapidly as native
vegetation.

Hicks and Live Oak.
Tho Live Oak Times made its reap
pearance on lust Saturday, as sprightly as
ever, and does not appear to bo much con
cerned in reference to the threat of Dr.
Hicks, to prosecute it for slander. Itpub
lishes an affidavit of Mr. Williams in ic
gard to Hicks' conduct at the depot ou
the night of July 15tli, fully sustaining its
previous statement, and expresses gratifi
cation at the threat of tho Doctor to take
ttio matter before the courts, as, tho edi
tor says, "such a proceeding will enable
us to force several persons to state w hat
they know of actions of tho protector of
a poor fallen woman, on the night of the
15th of July. We asked one of these gen
tlemen for information, nnd his reply was,
‘I don’t want to tell what I saw that night,
it is too dirty to talk about ; and Hicks
had better stay at the North, now he is
away.’ If the case does get into court, we
advise the Judge and jury to supply them
selves with smelling bottles, for a vast
amount of filth will bo upturned.”
Under such circumstances we trust the
affair will not he carried before the courts.
Dr. Hicks' cifanrch authorities can hear the
evidence, in secret council, and render a
verdict as to the guilt or innocence of the
accused. The Beecher ease lias furnished
a sufficiency of obscenity to satiate the
purient appetite of the. masses for many
future years. Let the matter be quietly
settled by the church authorities.—Monti

It Was a Bee.
[From the Detroit Free Press.)
Any one passing along Howard street
just before noon, yesterday, would have
seen him lying under one of the shade
trees iu his yatd, a pillow under his head,
bis feet on a bench, aud a magazine in bis
hands. He looked the picture of comfort
and contentment, and the women who
were going along with pull hack dresses
on sighed and wished they were men.
The great City Hall bell struck tho hour
of noon. The deep-toned echoes floated
out on the still summer air and touched a
i tender chord in tho Howard street man’s
heart. The echoes sounded to him like
funeral whispers—like the whisper* of the
uiglit wind sighing through the grand old
wilderness.
"Oh ! solemn bell I ” he said. "Ob 1
sad, solemn— ! ”
That was all lie said about the bell. A
bumble bee settled down on him to look
for sugar, and as he turned partly over he
gave the bee a rub. It is a bad thing to
rub any kind of a bee. He feels insulted
ami gets annoyed at things which a mud
turtle or a dove would pass liy without a
thought. Tho echoes of the bell were just
dying away when the Howard street man
got up. He got up liko a man in a hurry,
He went away from there. He didn't
meauder—be went like a rocket. Bonn -
tiring seemed to ail him. ne made a line
for the house, went up the steps at a
bound, and, as his wife asked him the
cause of hisiiastc, he replied :
"Thunder—oop ! hoop ! ”
"Is tiiis house on fire ? ” she asked, as
ho tore around the parlor nnd upset
things,
"House be oop ! Lardy !’’ be an
swered, as he made a circle of the room
and dashed into the hall.
The dog rushed after him, the wife
rushed after the dog, and the man hound
ed out of the house.
"Are you crazy, Robert ? ” shrieked the
wife as she beheld him pounding his legs
with his new silk hat.
Two or three boys ran in from the street,
a strangling came in aud got up a fight,
and ail things conspired to make a lively
time.
"He’s got tho colic 1” yelled one of the
bovx.
“Or the tremors !” shouted another,
“See that hut ! " called a third.
“Boys, go out of here ! ” whispered the
panting man as he stopped using Ins list.
They went out, and ns lie limped into the
house, his tearful wife asked :
"Now, then, will you tell mo what has
happened ? ”
“No, I won't theslionted, and he didn’t.
She fell into hysterics at the thought that
he had used ills brain too much, and had
suddenly become crazed, and he went
down to the drug store and applied arnica
to the spot, aud informed the clerk that
eleven thousand of the largest kind of
bumble bees settled right down on him iu
a body.
A Clandestine Marriage in St. Louis.
A clandestine marriage recently occurred
here which is likely to cause a good deal
of talk. The parties are Lieut, W. H.
Tiffany, of the regular army, and son of
the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, of the Metropolitan
Church of Washington, and Mrs. Cupt. D.
\V. Wallingford, n leudiug Washington
belle, who was the recipient at the centen
nial tea party last winter of marked atten
tion from Secretary Belknap, which caus
ed newspaper comment.
Tho ceremony took place nt the resi
dence of Dr. Vanundu, of tho Uuion
Methodist Church, in the presence of that
gentleman, his wife and a leading clergy
man of this city. The w hole affair was
kept very secret, the parties not living to
gether after the marriage. The husband, i
however, visited the lady nt her hotel, and |
upon one occasion was caught by the vir- i
tuous night wntehnmu entering tho lady’s :
room. The matter was investigated, and j
to shield themselves from scandal the cou
ple explained the situation nnd enjoined j
secrecy,
Lieut. Tiffany was ordered to Fort Con

puuied him ns far ns Austin, and then went
to her relative, who are very wealthy, anil
resident Dalton, Gu„ her father being W.
H. Wetmore, ono of the largest slavehold
ers iu the State before the war. Her first
husband was Capt. Wallingford, who lost
his life iu the Modoc campaign, The pur

can get all the news, for six months, by sending
one dollar to the publisher; or for one year by
sending two dollars.

organ of panic opinion that it has always been—
vigorous, thoughtful and conservative iil the dts
! cussiou of the issues of the day, and lively
Hparkling and entertaining in its mesentation of
the news. In gathering and publishing the la
test information and in discussing questions of
public policy, the Morning News is fully abreast
of the moat enterprising journalism of the time*.

the Daily News. Price fO for 12 mouths; $3 for
0 months.
