PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.
Proceeding's of the Annual Meeting
—Action npon Oglethorpe College.
We select from tlie proceedings the
notion upon Oglethorpe college:
The committee on Oglethorpe college,
Revs. C. W. Lane, Henry Quigg, Dr.
Wills, Hon. J. J. Gresham, Col. Camp
bell Wallace and Elder Brew ster, to whom
was referred the proposition of Mayor
Spencer, of Atlanta, in regard to the fu
tore action of the synod relative to the
ttrflege, made the following report, which,
in view of the interest that has been ex
oited upon the subject among the Pres
byterians and others concerned, we pres
ent in full:
The committee on Oglethorpe Univer
sity, to which was referred the matter in
relation to the property in Atlanta be
longing to the university, beg leave to re
port, that they have investigated the mat
ter as fully as their limited time would
allow. After the close of the war vari
ous efforts were made to revive the uni
varsity, then located at Midway, near
Milledgeville, and to place it upon a firm
basis. These attempts were unsuccess
ful, and the institution was in a [anguish
ing condition. Finally, in 1869, a pro
position was made by some of the citi
zens of Atlanta to remove the institution
to that place. The synod of South Car
olina and Alabama, to whom this propo
sition was submitted, referred the sub
ject to the action of the synod of Geor
gia, the latter synod expressing itself in
favor of the removal.
At the meeting of the synod of Geor-
fiia in Tallahassee, in 18C9, it was deter
mined that the college should be removed
upon certain conditions, contained in the
following resolution:
Resolved, That this is the opinion of
this synod that Oglethorpe college should
be removed to Atlanta, Ga., provided the
council of said city reaffirm the donation
of ten acres of land heretofore tendered,
and that the citizens of said city will
raise forty thousand dollars to be given
to the college, the selection of the site of
the building to be left to the board of
trustees.
If there were any other conditions to
the removal expressed or implied, your
committee find no evidence of them.—
The money thus to be furnished by At
lanta and its citizens was intended to be
used in the erection of suitable buildings.
It will be observed that the ten acres of
ground given by Atlanta were sold and
became a part of the forty thousand dol
lars which were to be given in addition
to it, and a separate location, far less val
uable, was offered.
At a meeting of the board of trustees,
afterwards held in Macon, a committee
from Atlanta reported that they had forty
thousand dollars subscribed, and offered
a site one and three-quarter miles from
the car shed, which was accepted by the
board.
But the board upon examination, find
ing that th6 location was totally unsuited
for the purposes intended, being entirely
too far from the city to receive any local
patronage, abandoned the site and bought
the Neal house for temporary purposes,
and which is now the subject of contro
versy. It then appeared that many of
the subscribers claimed that their sub
acriptions were conditione 1 upon the lo
cation of the college at this particular
place, and they and others failed to pay
their subscriptions, so that instead of
Atlanta having given to the college $40,-
000 and ten acres of ground, the city
gave the ten acres of ground which were
sold for $12,000, and the citizens gave
aome six or eight thousand dollars with
out any site for the buildings. This mov
ney, moreover, was collected in smail
sums, and at long intervals of time, so
that the board of trustees had to pay
$2,000 in interest before the money was
realized to pay for the Neal house. This
failure of the city of Atlanta to pay the
sum promised as a condition precedent
to the removal, no matter from what
eause, was the first check to the success
of the enterprise. Without a building
and a site which Atlanta was to furnish,
success was impossible.
The next ruinous step was the use of
the permanent invested fund of the col
lege to pay current expenses. From
these two causes, and perhaps others, the
ehurch lost heart, and refused to contri
bute to a fund which was thus being
used, and a failure was inevitable.
The college having failed, from causes
thus enumerated, the city of Atlanta now
rfaimw that the twelve thousand dollars
given by her in her corporate capacity,
arising from the sale of the ten acres of
ground, shall be returned to her. If she
can substantiate this claim, the citizens
of Atlanta who subscribed to tbs fund
and paid, have an equal equity, and we
jnay expect it to be asserted, and we do
not see why others who subscribed to
the permanent fond which has been used
m> in Atlanta, may not equally claim their
share of the wreck, and there will be no
sod to the claims.
The synod, as your committee believes,
is totally averse to an assertion of her
fifimc in a court of law, and is e“ n ~
averse in being called into such a
lanta, when such high hopes were enter
tained by all parties—in view of the en
tire loss by the synod of all the funds,
(left by the war,) and which it took years
of hard labor to accumulate, a fund
which should have been held sacred, the
synod expresses the hope that the city
of Atlanta will withdraw her claims to
the property in controversv.
Your committee find that the term of
office of all the trustees of Oglethorpe
University has expired, and it is neces
sary to elect a new board of twelve trus
tees, and they offer the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That the synod will proceed
to elect twelve trustees of Oglethorpe
university to serve for three years and
until their successors are elected.
Resolved, That the trustees of Ogle
thorpe university be instructed to pre->
sent the views above stated to the city
council of Atlanta, and endeavor to set
tle the matter in relation to the property
in dispute, and report to the next meet
ing of this synod, and that in the mean
time they give proper attention to the
preservation of the property and see
that the library and apparatus are kept
safely.
The Mind Reader in a Ghost Shop,
Gives Ilia Experiences Daring a
Visit Is the Home of fhe E«Idy Family—
■ sgesioas Tests—Still a Ylystery.
From the New York Sun.]
Mr. Brown, the mind reader, thus de
scribes in the New Heaven Palladium
what he did and saw during a recent visit
to the Eddys:
I passed out with a friend who accom
panied me, and when he asked me what
I thought of it, I told him I thought it
all a humbug, and believed that the so-
called spirits got in through the little win
dow in the closet. The next morning I
took a ladder and climbed up the window
from the outside. [The hall is in the
second story.] I found the little square
window had been carefully covered with
musquito bar. the edgiugs and crossings
of which had been thoroughly sealed
with sealing-wax: and stamped with the
seal ring of Col. Oleott, the Daily Gra
phic correspondent, who has been here
five weeks, and who has weighed the
incarnated spirits on Fairbanks' scales.
In order to make sure, I placed pins in
the cracks of the sash at regular intervals,
pushing them in so far that they couldn’t
be easily discovered. I left the window,
feeling sure that no one could pass
through that window without disturbing
something. I afterward learned that the
brothers are perfectly willing that per
sons should watch this window from out
side during the manipulations, and that
many have done so without result. Go
ing inside, I entered the closet and thor
oughly inspected it, finding it a very sim
ple structure of frame, lath and plaster,
with no loop holes, secret passages or
trap doors. To be sure, I put pins in all
the floor cracks, covering them with dust
so that the boards could not be moved
without disturbing them. I then went
to Wm. Eddy and easily obtained permis
sion to enter the closet that evening just
before he did. Then I waited.
At 7 :30 the seance was announced, and
we all went up. After all were seated I
went into the closet and found all my
pins just where I had put them. I ham
mered the sides thoroughly, but discover
ed nothing like fraud. I then slowly
backed out of the door to my seat, keep
ing the door constantly before my eyes.
Now said I, the battle must be at the
door, if anywhere. Very soon William
Eddy entered the closet, and in five min
utes the blanket was lifted and a face
peered out. Immediately after the blank
et was again lifted and another face look
ed out, and this action was closely follow
ed by the appearance upon the platform
of an old gentlema i, dressed in old style,
who soon returned. A voice from within
then said: “Will Mr. Pritchard and
Mrs. Packard take seats upon the plat.-
form ?" These persons, guests like my
self, took their places on the platform.
Soon the blanket was lifted, and a little,
old woman, with very white hands and a
long white gown, came out. She was at
once recognized l y Mrs. Packard, who
said, “Mother, how do you do this eve
ning !” In answer the little woman whis
pered so that all could hear, “I am very
happy." She then took her daughter by
the hand and kissed her. Mr. Pritchard
stepped up to the other side of her and
the three talked together for several min
utes, when the old lady desired to be in
troduced to the guests. Her daughter
presented her as “My dear mother, come
back to earth.,’ The old lady disappeared
behind the blanket, and at once there ap
peared a stalwart, fine looking young man
with a heavy mustache. Said Mrs. Pack
ard: “William, my son, how lovely you
are looking,” and then took hold of him
and kissed him. He then went back, and
in two minutes there appeared a tall, old
gentleman, who was at once recognized
by. one of the guest as his father. Said
the son : “Good evening, father,” aiul
the old gentleman answered, “Good eve
ning.”
Several other persons appeared before
the end of the seance, which was dosed
with the appearance from the door of
Mrs. Eddy, the deceased mother of the
Eddy brothers, who spoke at some length
saying that she was sorry that her sons
were unable to convince people of their
honesty ; and that she hoped all would
see and understand the great truth. Be
fore Bhe came out many had appeared in
quick succession who had been, recogni
zed as fathers, mothers, brothers, or some
negr deceased relative by many in - ibe
audience, who came to the house as I
came, and some of whom have gone away
to their homes.
Something claiming to be "orge Dix,
a pirate, held up its hand say : “This
is my hand." It has but th.ee fingers.
Horatio Eddy has lost no finger. Next
a lady's slim, white hand was thrust over
the cloth and patted the assisting guest
on ibe forehead. He said : “This is my
daughter’s hand. I should know it any-
where. This is worth thonsands of dol
lars to me.” *****
The Eddy brothers say that the great
spirit, the Witch of the Mountain, will
be here in November, and that she will
be powerful enough to materialize fish
out of the elements of water, and do many
other wonderful things which can be
closely inspected. It is said that she
found Horatic trying to build a fire the
other day, and set the damp wood blaz
ing by throwing a dipper full of water
upon it. But this I did not see. Some,
of course, who are Spiritualists, believe
that the appearances were materializa
tions of the dead. To many others the
whole is a deep mystery, inexplicable as
yet. Of the latter I am one.
The Philosophy or Run.—To under?
stand the philosophy of this beautiful
and often sublime phenomenon, so often
witnessed and so very essential to the
existence of plants and animals, a few
facts derived from observation and a lorg
train of experiments, must be remember
ed.
1. Were the atmosphere here, every
where, and at all times, of a uniform tem
perature, we should never have rain, hail
or snow. The water absorbed by it in
evaporation from the sea and the earth's
surface, would descend in an impercepti
ble vapor, or cease to be absorded by the
air when it was once folly saturated.
2. The absorbing power of the atmos
phere, and consequently its capacity to
retain humidity, is apportionately greater
Id warm than in cold air. The air near
the surface of the earth is warmer than it
is in the regions of the clouds. The
higher we ascend from the earth, the cold
er do we find the atmosphere. Hence
the perpetual snow on very high moun'
tains in the hottest climate.
Now, when from continued evaporation
the air is saturated with vapor, though it
be invisible and the sky cloudless, if its
temperature is suddenly reduced by cold
currents descending from above, or rush
ing from a higher to a lower latitude, its
capacity to retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed, and rain is the result.
It condenses, cools, and like a sponge
filled with water and compressed, pours
out the water which its diminished capaci
ty cannot hold.

17 2t.) DANIEL B. SANFORD, Ordinary.
Thi lien law has its humorous side as
well as its unprofitable (to the planter)
one. A farmer consigned a lot of cotton
to Manon, the other day, his factor sold
it for $900, and the amount placed to his
credit. Bnt the farmer begged the privi
lege of taking the money home, just to
Qtxmi it and show it to his wife, promis
ing to return the next day. This request
woo gratified and sure enough, next day
to defend them, and we trust that the it was retained carefully wrapped up,
with a deep sigh. This is the beauty of
raising cotton and buying corn and meat.
