Washington JPost : “Nothing is clear ei‘ than the administrat’on \s trying to iutimidate the government of Lousiana. The shot-gun has not jet appeared, but John SUermau is masquerading as a Ku lvlux.” Mr, LbiToii—.1 (Communicated.) find that my last arti¬ cle on bankruptcy and homestead laws* has shaven too close on some people to be veiy comfortable ; and just here-, I have this to say : I had, nor have not any axe to grind for myself or any one else, and therefore, had no personalities. When I use them, it shall be over my own signa tiiie. One word to E. Strebor. You aie Very much mistaken when you think you recogbise in Philanthropist, the hand that dealt you Such heavy blows last summer. 1 am not the man, but will try and interest you. To my subject.— I am much pleased to see in the N. Y. Ledger, of last week, an article frorii the pen ot the celebrated Bishop Clark, of Koovisland, in which he uses the same theory, il not verbage, that I did in my last article. I will quote a few paragraphs from his letter, “I do not know who to trust. This exclamation is wrung from the public, when they see men from whom they had a right to'expect better things, covering up their property under the folds of some legal fictiou to corceal it from their creditors. It is wrung fr 0111 the public by the reckless extravagance ot men and women, who are living on the property of their creditors; going in¬ to bankruptcy or suspending payment and then buying up their papers at low rates; then claim that their first duty is to support their families,” The Bishop claims that their first duty is to pay their debts, and then go to work to support their families. In the conclusion, the Bishop says ; “There are men that have no right to live as they are now living, and that their removal to some other sphere (f existence would be no loss to the world.” 1 shall only notice a few paragraphs in Strebor s so called reply, for reply or argument it is not. He does not allude to a single passage of scripture I quoted, I may be too fast, he may intend answer mg them next week ; if so. he will please me much, and he can have the pleasure of answering a few more before I close this article. Does friend Strebor honestly believe that it the poor widow he refers to, had of had that Christian confidence in her God, that the poor widow of Za* rephatb, 1st Kings, 17c. 10th to 17th vs., had, that it would have been necessary to have “pleaded” the homestead, in or¬ der to have kept the barrel ol meal and cruse of oil from failing? StiCbor emphatically pronounces these laws as “holy, just and good,” and that! the Bible justifies them, and refers me to one passage alone, to sustain his assertion Well, if Sirebor or any one else can find a -‘model homestead” in the 25th chap¬ ter of Leviticus, [where men and their families tvere sold to pay their debts,] his or tlifeir perceptible proclivities, or imagination, is far larger than mine. In the conclusion ot his sophistry, he virtu¬ ally admits I am fight. He says: “If the debtor is dishonest, and betrays his creditor.” Strebor evidently needs a promptor. Enough of E, Strebor for the present, I ask every honest thinking man or wo> man : Is there a member of your church who would loan his Pastor (to say noth¬ ing of less officials) one thousand dollars on call, without tangible security ? Your answer is emphatically, “no,” Well, why ? Is he not a Christian, and should not a Christian hold his religion as the strongest bond that could be brought to compell him to pay his honest debts ?— Can this state of affairs be traced to any other source so fruitful of all abomina¬ tions, as these iniquitous laws ? They, and 4be ^ a ^ one * bave displaced confidence, and my honest opinion is, that any pro fessor of religion, be he official or lay man, who take advantage of these laws to avoid paying an honest deb!-, does ibore harm to the cause of religion and good morals, than any single grogshop keeper in the State of Georgia—and they do harm enough,- God knows. Does not the blessed Saviour, in Mat. 6th 6. 40th v., tell us “If any man sue thee at the law and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also,” Again, he says, Alat. 7tbc. 12thv., “Therefore, what* soever ye would that men should do unto you, do yoa even so to them,” In Mat. 5th c, 16th v,, he tells us “Let your light so shine before men that they seeng your good works, may glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” St. Paul, in Thes. 5th c. 23 d v., enjoins upon those profess ing godliness to abstain from all appear¬ of evil. I will not make the argu¬ ment now, but leave friend Strebo [who, by-the-way, seems to be very tender whenever the homestead is mentioned,"} to explain the passages of scripture I have given ill this and my former article; I nlay then answer and make the argu¬ ment. I now close with a quotation from St. Paul to the Romans, 13 c. 7th and 8th v,, “Render to all their due, owe no man anything; but to love one-' another - T for he that Idveth another hath fulfilled the law.” P iilL ANTH ROPIST, - Tweuty-six persons have been prostra¬ ted in Richford, Vermont, by disease brought on by using water from a well o*n Main street.

No. 178, A. M. Again we are called upon to pay oui last tribute of respect to otie of our be» loved brethren. Brother Welcom \V. Aldmand has been sumraond by the grand faster to give an account of his Stew¬ ardship. To the world, W. W. Almand was all that a neighbor or friend could ask— Generous, kind and trank. To us, who so often in years past, obeyed his gavels as Junior Warden, calling us from la¬ bor to lefreshment, and mixed and mm gled with him in our pleasant ceremonies. We were not surprised to hear that when the gavel fell on the night of the fourth instant; calling him from his earthly la¬ bors to that Celestial Refreshment, he was ready to enter without a murmer, on that joiifney lrom whence no man ever returns. Brother W. W. Almand, has long b een a worthy member ot our order; his many virtu3s we will strive to emulate, and cheerfully draw the vale of charity over the few friuits he had and strive to live that we may make one in that Grand Celes^ tial Lodge to which we believe he has, ere this, been admitted And while we bow with reverential awe to the mandates of the Great Mas¬ ter, Be it Resolved, That in the death of w, VV. Almand, this Ledge has lost another of her brightest jewels, and we a laitful brother ahd friend* Resolved, That a page be left blank in our minutes sacred to the memory of our deceased brother.
