WHEN SCOT MEETS SCOT. A SPIRITED CONTROVERSY. A spirita ccatorergy between the Duke of Argyll and the Rey, J. Scanlar Thomson, minister of Inverchaolain, Argyth is revealed in letters which have. been sept to the Press. The origin of the correspondenes was a discussion at Dunoon Presbytres regarding a missing fant frem Cairndow Church, which way reported, to be in the Episcopal Charch of Inveraray. The Unks of Argyll wrote to the Press denying this story, and said the font had been found lying in his shrubbery, and bad belonged to the old parish church of Kilmalow, Invernray, The minister of Inverchaplain, who had been mentioned, in that communication, replied. In the course, of a letter to the Rev. Mr. Thomson, the Duke states:
On my return from Fanes I found that in my absence you had found time from your normal ministerial functiona to busy yourself and to meddle not only in the supposed affairs of the pariah of Kinlochgoil. Lochgailhead, but even in that of Kilmallow, which Intter parish does not even lie jo the presbytery whose meetings you enriched with your eloquence.",
The Duke takes the minister to task for a reference to an episcopal missionary ty the aborigines of Inverary," which showed, he declared, that curioua ill- breeding of which the old type of High- land minister would never have been guilty, The Duks concludes:
46 The innate quarrelsomeness of Presbyterians. in all places where they, have settled is notorious and remarkable. It will be, therefore, no painful surprise to you to know that I intend to have religious peace throughout the marches of my lordship of Cowal. Between this and Easter I shall write setting you certain penances to do!"
The Rev. Mr. Thomson dated his letter of reply: On or about the anniversary of the Lamont murders" (a reference to a notorious massacre of over 100 Lamonts by members of the Clan Camp- bell, of which the Duke is hereditary chief), Mr. Thomson says: "Long and silently have I waited for the imposition of penances befitting my misdemeanours, and I must now presume that you? Grace, following illustrious family pre cedent, has postponed valour to dis cretion. At this point let me яay that hereafter I shall, for conveni- erce, presume to address your Grace ns n ordinary being, then which, no higher complintent could be offere
ayne. Further on in his letter the minister states: "There are other points which I must pass. It were a sorrowful task to explain these to one to whom Prezidence has not granted a humorous mind. It may be enough to say regret. fully that I do not feel tempted, to take your Grace as a mentor, either in com- position or in manners."
EL
Concluding, he says: "Gone are the days when it was reckoned an honour to be kicked by an earl, cursed by a count, and maltreated by marquis. Gone, too, happily, are the days when Campbell sheriff, & Campbell jury, and a Campbell prosecutor, Campbell chaplain, and Campbell hangman, in n Campbell court, could further the piclicy and glut the vengeance of a Campbell chieftain; when the gallows seidon lacked a Lamont, a MacDonald, a MacDougall, or a MacLean; when wild clansmen set out on a raid of murder and rapine while the cautious chief established a careful alibi, a cunning expedient which history narrates did not avail one MacCailein, at least, on the day of his judgment.
