tb Well that the views expressed in this letter
are not alone those of "One who Wants to be
taught," but many ethers beside. Our cop
respeedent propounds a question—or rather
a number of them, that makes the duty of
answering them seinewhest mipleatient on Our
part, because `of the church relations that ex-
ist batmen oureelves and others, ,hut duties,
however 'unpleasant, roust he discharged.
Our -
correspondent --askir-us--"-whereis•-• the
justice of expelling the man from the show
ground and allowing the- other te exist."
To our mind, there is none; 'one haglike re.
putation of being just as much gambling as
the other, only that, in oile instance it is done
under cover of another name, while the lel-
low who wonted to Work o0 the oahow ground
made no bows ,about it. 'It so likappene,tha
there is no law in the statute book to reach
exactly the cages .that coma under the head
of "stook gambling,'.' and poisibly_thai is
one roathn why establisments of that nature
are tolerated. If a tenth pad of „the rapiers
%het have.been current about stock eperations
here, aretrue„it indieates a state of morals:
deplorable indeed. Our correspondent very
naturally assumes that a Superintenden o

tion of managerdif a so-aalled stook exchange.

tion others who are of the same opinion.—
The two pesitions should be, in our humble
opinion, as far apart as the poles. .Them may
be such a thing as a man getting into a posi-
tion incompatible with his professions,.un-
knowingly, .a114• we will do the party whose
•amuse is here called in question the justice of
.saying that had be known the true character
of the ; affair at first we do not believe:be
vronld have had anything to do with it,but
there 10 00 remise for any one who remains'
thereafter finding out his mistake. While
•the manager of the Stook Exchange and our -
elves have hitherto been tbe best of friend,
and worked together in church work, we have
no hesitation in •saying, (humiliating though
it is that suoh an'adndision iiinecessary,I that
•his present. attitude is one we do.not
name, nor can it be defended on good ground,
is one that is calculated to do enormoug
jury to the cause ot which, hii is a. profeseed
adherent, and one will& no -therch shout cl-
tolerate-forany-timeined-this,we believe,is the
opinion of many Others. We may just sae it is
not any pleasure for us towrite in this way.:
...We, have personally disemittenanced the So.'
called stcor exchange, and have. been before
asked to insert articles eOneerning it, but
have withheld them because we did not wish
to .present Abematter in What might (be
termed an unfavorable light: • The question
is one teirly open to eriticiilln, our oorrespon7
dent is tenoned of intelligence, and the clues.
tione he aster are finch as any one might rea-
sonably propound and expect to be answered.
