Fell from tbe Bluff-Painfully In
jured.
Mr. David, Robertson, purser of the steam
er Cumberland, met with an accident last
night about half past eight o’clock, by
which be was painfully injured, and it is a
marvel that It did not result in instant death.
He had been looking after some cotton
hocks and was returning to his steamer,
which is lying at the wharf foot of Drayton
street. In passing along the north
side of Bay street, near Barnard,
in the darkness he made a misstep
and fell from the ratling to the street below,
a distance of nearly thirty feet. He struck on
his face, cutting his mouth and chin, split
ting his tongue and otherwise bruising his
face and body. Fortunately a policeman
was near by, and hearing the noise
occasioned by the fall, he proceeded to
ascertain the cause, and discovered Mr.
Robertson ou the ground in a semi un
conscious state. Summoning assistance,
be conveyed him to the steamer,
where he was made as comfortable as
possible. A messenger was dispatched for
a physician, and returned shortly with Dr.
G. H. Stone, who sewed up the cuts and
rendered such attention as was possible.
Considering the distance from which Mr.
Robertson fell, and the fact that he struck
on the paved street, It is wonderful that he
escaped more serious or even fatal injury.
A Gratifying Exhibit.
At a meeting of the Young Ladies’ He
brew Benevolent Society, held on the 30th
instant, the committee in charge of the re
cent entertainment given for the benefit of
the Savannah Female Orphan Asylum ren
dered their report. The grand totals are:
Receipts S3S4 50; expenses sl7 25—leaving
a net balance of $367 25, which will be turn
ed over immediately to the Treasurer of the
Home.
This is indeed a gratifying and noble work,
and the young ladies who so well conceived
and so successfully carried out this munifi
cent charity deserve in the highest degree
tbe gratitude of our entire community for
their disinterested efforts.
At the meeting above alluded to, the
young ladies adopted resolutions thanking
Mr. Branch for the free use of tbe hall,
Messrs. Ludden <& Bates for tbe loan of the
piano; the ladies and gentlemen partici
pating in the performance, and to the gen
tlemen of the different committees who
kindly assisted the young ladies upon that
occasion.
4 a light withs Bag of Canned To
matoes.
As Policeman Mock was patrolling RlTer
street, in the vicinity of Montgomery, he
encountered a negro ambling along with a
bag on his shoulder, the weight of which
evidently distressed him. He was endeav
oring to keep on the dark side of
the street, which aroused the suspi
cions of the officer, who took him
In charge. An examination showed that
tb bag was filled with canned tomatoes.
Ii is supposed the negro, whose name is
Jack Graham, had stolen a box of the
canned goods from one of the wharves,
carried It into a dark corner, broken it open,
aod was carrying off the cans in the bag.
He will, however, be granted an opportu
nity to-day to explain the matter.

The Lecture on Wesley and ffileth*
odium”
The lecture of Rev. J. O. A. Clarke, D. D.,
on “Wesley and Methodism,” delivered in
Trinity Church on Sunday night last, at
tracted a large and Interested audience, rep
resenting all the evangelical churches, and
was a literary and religious treat such as is
rarely enjoyed by any community. The sub
ject itself was deeply interesting, the sur
roundings altogether favorable, and the
time and place notably appropriate, while
the literary character of the lecture was of
such high order of excellence as to me-”
the most favorable criticism.
Tbe enthusiasmjwith which Dr.C’ar’ po.
traved the lofty genius, the Christl. i
and the wonderful achievements !i
great founder of Methodism, wi *<. u |
caught by the vast audience, and wii
they reached tbe conclusion that nc
since St. Paul has left so deep an im
upon the thought and principles and ac
of humanity. The lecture was charai
ized by that catholicity of spirit which i
eminently distinguished Mr. Wesley, a
while it justified all the claims that ha
been put forth as to the glorious Issues c.
the Methodistic revival and reformation, it
was not marred by a single uncharitable or
sectarian expression.
Tbe tributes which the foremost writers
of the old and new world have paid to the
character and genius of Wesley, with the
eulogies upon this great man, which the
truth of history has forced even skeptical
historians to record, were most iklllfully
used by the accomplished lecturer, and
showed conclusively that Robert Southey
was right in considering Mr. Wesley “the
most Influential mind of the last century.”
The place where this lecture was deliver
ed gave the lecturer occasion for some of
its finest passages. Here, in Savannah,
where was Mr. Wesley’s only parish; where,
as he himself says, “the first rudiments of
the Methodist societies” originated, and
where the beautiful Monumental Church,
which the religious people of the world are
uniting to erect to his memory, here is the
most appropriate of all places to give utter
ance to the judgment of the gifted minds
who appreciate the true greatness of this
servant of God, and the effectiveness of that
system which he organized for “spreading
scriptural holiness” over tie whole earth.
The lecture made 6uch au impression up
on one of the audience, a gentleman who is
known as foremost In every good work,
that he subscribed for two hundred cop es
(SI,OOO worth), of the “Wesley Memorial
Volume,” edited by Dr. Clarke, for distri
bution among those who are not able to buy
it themselves. The proceeds of this vol
ume, which the press, both of England and
America, unite in commending as one of
the most valuable contributions to the re
ligious literature of the age, are devoted to
the completion of Wesley Monumental
Church, In Savannah, and all our readers
will do well to procure a copy for them
selves.

A Bad Barker—He Threatens to Cat
a Policeman.
About eight o’clock last night Policeman
Jones, whilst patrolling his beat at the Park,
observed a colored man meandering along
Dr^yto ll street, near Bolton, toting a bag,
apparently well filled. Suspecting that the
individual, from his movements, was not
exactly all right, ho approached him and
inquired what he had. The fellow replied
that he had some potatoes, but seemed so
anxious to get beyond the observation of
the policeman that the vigilant guardian of
the peace followed him up. As he came
near him, the colored traveler finding him
self brought to bay, turned savagely towards
the officer and threatened to cut him up if
he laid his hand on him. By this time Po
liceman j ones was close enough to secure
him, when ho found that the bagleontalned
not potatoes, but cotton, which it Is sup-
Dose'dhad been stolen from tho cotton in
the Park extension. The prisoner was car
ried to the barracks, where he was registered
under the name of John Brown, i and this
morning will be brought into the Police
Court for examination.

Baying In a Supply of Coal.
Last night, about quarter-past eight
o'clock, as Sergeant Lee of the police force
was riding aloDg River street at the foot of
East Broad street, he discovered a colored
individual moving along suspiciously, filling
a bag with coal from Taggart’s coal yard.
He hailed the fellow, who made a dash up
Gas House bill, and was pursued by the
Sergeant, who succeeded in snatching the
fugitive near the brow of the hill. He vio
lently resisted the officer, and nearly jerked
him from his saddle. The Sergeant is not an
easy man to get away from when he once
gets his grasp on a transgressor, and the
wlored coal picker was compelled to suc

THE CAUSE OF IHSUFS.
Address ot tlte Krlah Natlocai Land
League*
At a meeting of the Irish National Land
League Association on Friday evening, the
18th Inst., a committee was appointed to
prepare an address to the Irish residents of
Savannah and all in sympathy with their
movement The following is the address
prepared by the committee:
Totht Iruh people of Savannah, and all other
in sympathy with the cause of Liberty :
The National Land League of Ireland has
issued an appeal to the Irish race through
out the world for the aid and support which
they are bound by the ties of kindred and
country to give.
We, as an auxiliary branch of the Land
League, deem it our duty to impress on the
minds of our countrymen the necessity that
exists of taking immediate steps to respond
to their appeal and prove by your actions
that Savannah is always in the v&Dguard
when called on in a just and righteous cause.
Ireland today presents to the world the
spectacle of a people, who, down-trodden
and oppressed for hundreds of years by the
most cruel and unjust means, rising in their
manhood and telling their oppressors in
tones there was no mistaking.
God made this land for the benefit of the
many, not the few. We mean to have our
lust rights. We will stand your tyranny no
The Irish Land League organized by the
one-armed patriot, Michael Davitt (who now
languishes in a British bastile), proclaims
to the world the justice of the cause they
advocate. They hold their meetings on
every green hillside throughout the land,and
by the power of moral suasion and indomi
table perseverance, educate the people to
a true sense of their just rights; and the
proper and legitimate means of redressing
their grievances. We do not think it neces
sary to remind our countrymen of the suf
ferings of our people. Every Irishman
knows to what extent they have suffered
from the effects of an oppressive and mer
ciless land law which places them entirely
In the power of the landlord. Their ap
peal has gone forth time and again to the
charity of the world to feed their starving
and clothe their naked, and all this In a
fair and fertile land capable of supporting
three times its present population. The
money given for such purposes to a great
extent eventually finds its way to the
coffers of a titled pack of landlord aristo
crats without benefiting in any way tbe
condition of our people.
The National Land League of Ireland,
under the leadership of Charles Stewart Par
nell and his gallant compatriots, have roused
the people to a sense of their condition and
the means of bettering It. They have suc
ceeded, so far, beyond the expectations of
the mo6t sanguine. They have forced the
English Government to acknowledge that a
change in the land laws is necessary.
They have united the people as they never
were before, not even in the days of the
immortal O’Connell. Bishops, priests and
ministers of all sects and creeds are seen on
the one platform advocating the same doc
trine—the land for the people.
The Protestant North marches side by
side with the Catholic South, proclaiming
in trumpet tones Orange and Green will
carry the day.
The leaders of this grand movement,
though under threat of being thrown Into
British bastiles (as In the case of Davitt)
still hold their place at the head of their
people, and, conscious of the justice of
their case, defy the power and might of
England.

—Dr. Laadrom’s Address—Compli
mentary Action.
It will be remembered that on the occa
sion of the recent anniversary of the Savan
nah Port Society, Rev. Dr. Sylvanus Lan
drum delivered the address. In our notice
of the exercises we referred to his address
as remarkable for Us ability, eloquence and
force, and ventured the opinion that it had
made a deep impression. The following
copy of a letter from the Correspondljg
Secretary of the Port Society to Dr. Lan
drum shows the estimation placed upon it
by the society. The acknowledgement of
the Indebtedness of the society in tbe
premises is couched in deserved snd beauti
ful complimentary terms. The letter is as
follows:
Office of Savannah Port Society, 1
Savannah, February 18, 1881. j
Rev. Dr. S. Landrum :
My Dear Sir —The Savannah Port So
ciety, grate: ully appreciating your sermon at
Its late anniversary meeting, and believing
that your faithful presentation of the claims
of the sailor will win favor for the society,
has instructed me to address you this letter,
and to express to you the thanks of its
officers and members.
The Port Society has always regarded you
as one of its warmest friends, and it takes
pleasure In acknowledging your uniform
interest and good will In its behalf. More
than once has its annual meeting been held
in your church, and on each occasion it has
shared your counsel and sympathy. We
have heard, within a few days, of your In
tended removal from Savannah, and we
shall sincerely regret your departure. To
us it will be a pleasant remembrance of you,
that your professional seryice In this
city, outside of your own parochial work,
was to commend the care of the sailor, in
his religious and social needs, to the Port
Society and its friends, on the 6ib inst., in
so generous a spirit, and in a sermon so
impressive and instructive. We cannot
doubt that it will do the society great good.
While we lament, my dear sir, your leav
ing Savannah, where you have done so
much good, we trust that it will take you to
a wider field of Influence and to a more
pleasant line of duty in the new situation
you are invited to occupy. We thank you
as the friend of seamen, whose welfare we
are organized to promote, and we cordially
wi6h for you every blessing.
I am, reverend and dear sir, yours very
respectfully and truly,
Wm. 8. Bogart,
Cor. Sec. of Savannah Port Society.

The trial of the Bryan Baptist Church
case, the points of which have been pre
viously given, before a jury in the
Superior Court, was commenced on
Monday, February 7th, and the hear
ing of testimony occupied the un
divided attention of the court up to Friday
afternoon, 12th, when the case was post
poned to Monday, 14th, at 10 a. m., and at
that hour the trial of the case was resumed
and continued up to Thursday night, when
the jury were discharged to Monday, 21st,
to receive the charge of the court In wri
ting. They were charged, and retired to
their room, and shortly afterwards agreed
upon and returned the following verdict:
“We, the jury, find for the defendants
“Geo. Poindexter, Foreman
“ Savannah , Ga., February 21,1881.”
Upon announcing the verdict, consider
able confusion was apparent among the large
number of colored folks In interest present.
The court room was, however, soon deserted
by them.
Counsel for the complainants gave notice
of a motion for anew trial, and It is not at
all unlikely that the case will again go to the
Supreme Court.
The following is the charge of the Judge
in full:
Richard Baker et. al.. complainants, and Peter
Houston et. al., defendants. J. R. Saussy and
A. P. & S. B. Adams Tor complainants; Leater
& Ravenel and Chisholm & Erwin for de
fendants.
The complainants, it I understand their bill
ask first, To be restored to the church building
as a place of worship, from which they allege
that they have been forcibly expelled. Second,
That the persons who were trustees of the
church at the time of their expulsion hold the
legal titles of the building, and are entitled to
its possession. The bill thus makes two ques
tions which the court and jury are called upon
to decide. These two questions are not all the
questions involved In the case, but their decis
ion will virtually decide all that is necessary to
a final disposal of the case in this court.
And first as to tbe forcible exclusion or ex
pulsion of the complainants from the church
building. This is a question almost exclusively
of fact. Were they expelled, and if expelled
how was it done) It was certainly wot done by
any action of the church in conference by
formal resolution. X have not forgotten that a
Judge may not express or intimate an opinion
as to facts in reference to which there has
been testimony, but as to a fact in
reference to which there has been
no testimony it is not only his right
but his duty to say that the fact does not exist.
He may not leave it to the jury to find a fact
as to which there was no testimony. The
Supreme Court has said that to do so is error.
Counsel may ask why allude to a state of
things made by the bill? I answer, to bring
out more distinctly that the bill means what it
says, that complainants have been forcibly
expelled from the church building. Imther
words, that force has been employed in expell
ing them. Now force is of two kinds—physi
cal force and moral force—and If the jury
under their ev dence find either, the allegation
of the bill that the complainants bave been
forcibly expelled would be sustained. As
to the first kind of force, physcal force, there
is not a particle of evidence to sustain it, and
therefore it would be error to leave It to you
to find the fact of physical force. As to the
second kind of force, moral force, it is a
mixed question of law and fact. It is therefore
proper to leave it to you to find it under the
facts as you may find them, and the law
arising on those facts as I shall give it to yc .
in charge. The moral force mnri ' isiv. li’ . ; ,
to justify the comploi" - . ; n
Short of this ft vm
tio* fit
J to. cihly epe!!ix! Short os this, leaving the
out ling would be- voluntary act n-.i not ..oe
1 result of fore*, lue law of a * .of eou.-se
; • St: urn /. ' ’■■d-. T ‘ ... therefore
t a matter of necessity that the Judge
J be* tocli&:f 'Die law on a e chimed at at-> of

, ycor •> im* to regard it un
.- i m i J.—a that make the law ap
iu the absence of proof that physi
: torce has been employed, the question is
narrowed down to the question of moral force.
And here I repeat what I have already said,that
the moral force must be such as to justify the
complainants in yielding to it. Suppose, for ex
ample, that there has been evidence of threats
by the defendants that they would resort to
violence if necessary to keep the complain
ants out of the building, this, in my judgment,
would be sufficient to sustain the allegation of
the bill that complainants had been forcibly
expelled. Suppose, on the other hand, that
the evidence shows that the complainants left
and remain out because they found it unpleas
ant to associate with the defendants because
they could not meet with them without bick
ering, strife and contention, this, in judgment,
would not be such proof of force as would
sustain the allegation of the biiL Who
ever heard of a church conference or a
public meeting of any kind where all the mem
bers of it were of one and the same opinion on
every subject brought up for consideration?
Who ever heard, because the members differ
ed in opinion, the meeting could not be held
and conducted in peace? 1 admit that a mem
ber may for a while Interrupt the peace of the
meeting by boisterous and udparliamenta y
cooduct, but the legal presumption is, that the
presiding officer, by whatever name called,
would Immediately put down such conduct,
and restore peace. It is no reply to this to say
that the complainants do not mean only that
they could not hold a conference in peace,
but they also mean that they could not
attend the church in peace. The answer to
this is obvious. There is no evidence showing
or tending to show that they could not go to
that church without encountering violence.
So far as the evidence is concerned, every com
plainant in this bill can go to that church next
Sunday without interference from any one.
There is no evidence of threats ©f violence if
they do attend. There is no evidence that sen
tinels are placed at the door to keep them out.
Will complainants say they are unwilling to wor
ship under the pastorate of Mr. Gibbons? That,
it seems to me, is proof that they are not kept
away by force, and is the very strongest reason
why they should return to the church, for if it
be true, as they claim, that they are the ma
jority, they can soon elect their own pastor
and remove the present pastor.
I have thus, gentlemen, given you my views
of the law as to forcible expulsion by the use
of physical force or moral force. Apply it to
the case if ypu find the facts that make it ap
plicable. In my judgment, the complainants
have the same right to worship in that church
as the defendants have, but neither to the ex
clusion of the other.
Tbe trustees hold the building for the use of
the Baptist Church as a place of .worship—not
for a part of the church, but for all the
church, including complainants and de
fendants. Neither party can claim the posses
sion of the building to the exclusion of ttie
other party. I am not now speaking of the
trustees and deacons who have filed this bill
as the party complainants, but of them and
that portion of the church represented by them
as the party complainants, and of the trustees
and deacons of the defendants in the same
way as the party defendants As between the
trustees, of course, whoever you find to be
trustees would be entitled to the possession of
the building—the exclusive possession.
As to this matter of forcible expulsion, I
charge you that if under the evidence you
find the fact of forcible expulsion by moral
force, which you must do If you find ft at all,
for there is no evidence of physical force, the
complainants are entitled to be restored to the
right of worshiping in that church, and your
verdict should be so formed as to restore to
them that right of which they have been forci
bly deprived; not, of course, the exclusive
right, but the same right that the defendants.
•dJhve. If yow fail to find the fact of forcible
expulsion, your verdict h not necessary to
give the right. The trustees, as I have said,
hold the building for the use of the church
as a place of worship, not for a part of
the church, but for the whole church, including
both complainants and defendants, and it is for
this reason that I say neither is enti
tled to the exclusive possession. The next
question made in this bill is the great question
of this case. That question Is, who are tne legal
Dustees. My first impression was that Mr.
Williamson, executor of one of the original
trustees, was the trustee by operation of law.
Butin this I was mistaken, for I find that bv
act of the Legislature “every ehurch or reli
gious society Is authorized and empowered to
fill up all vacancies which may happen in the
said trustees by death, removal, expulsisn or
otherwise. If, therefore, yomflnd that vacan
cies have happened in the trusth of tfais church,
and the church has filled up these vacancies
then the trustees appointed by the church
are the legal trustees, and continue such
until a vacancy happens by-death, removal
expulsion or otherwise. If th’en yoi find that
wrtain persons were trustees by appointment
of the ehurch at any time, who are still in life
and who have not been removed or expelled
or resigned, which I suppose is what is meant
by the word otherwise, they are trustees still.
Right here the question comes up as to the
legality of the conference held on the third
Monday in November. The complainants claim
that it was not a legal conference because the
pastor had announced from the pulpit on the
ass? a .
was a legal conference because it was the
regular 1 day for the conference by the church
and tbe pastor had no right or power to Dost’
pone it. I don’t understand that there is anv
dispute as to the facts on which eachnartv
puts its claim. It Is admitted that the an
no ncement from the pulpit was made Itio
admitted that the third Monday in Novemher
was the regular day for the conference The
only dispute is ai to the legal effect of the am
nouncement. Had the pastor the Dower t->
postpone a regular conference? Tha rrmstltn
tion and rules of the church give uVnolleht
on .his subject. At least they have not bfen
referred to in the argument. The question
has to be determined on evidence-of that
zpss. ™ sttswErfe
con erence held was not a judlcatorv hrviv of
the church- was not au ecclfilastkAl WT and
all they did was absolutely null un
less you should find that what they did was
Afterwards Willed and confirmed by the
church; and by the church I mean 4 legal ju
dicatory of tpe church. Such ratification aid
confirmation would make their action the ac
tion of the church, and binding upon its mem
hers- If the question of &wer the
pastqr h 4 arisen on the construction ot a
provision iu the constitution of the church
hr on the construction of a role of
the church, I* would have been a pure legal
question, audit would have devolveduponthe
Judge to decide it; but as it depends upon the
evidence, the duty of deciding it devolves upon
the Jury. I cannot thing that the civil courts
have any jurisdiction to decide the powers of a
Baptist pastor, or tho powers of a pastor of
any chur h. It is, in my judgment, a question
emphatically for the church to decide for it
self- It may have been ,and, in my opinion, to
say the least, discourteous, and, with many
pastors, would no doubt have caused a
resignation of the pastoral office; but if the
pastor had no power to postpone the confer
ence, the right of the church to hold it, not
withstanding the A— ■- . wnxi to
me, cannot be doubt-. Well did ”, - church i

church. That it was ever so ratified and ap
proved Is denied by complainants, which
makes a question of fact for your decision
under the evidence.
We now proceed a step further in the ease.
I hope I will not be considered as invading the
province of the jury, when I say thatTt ap
pears from the record of proceedings in this
court that Young, Baker and Butler were ap
pointed trustees by the church, and upon ap
plication to this court, by petition, they were
also appointed by this court. De
fendants say this court had no
jurisdiction to appoint It is by no means
necessary to decide this question of jurisdic
tion, for, admitting that the court had no
jurisdiction, its appointment cannot invalidate
the appointment bv the church if the church
“ , *L an . appointment. If this court had no
jurisdiction, its appointment is mere surplus
sage, and cannot affect the appointment by
the church.
But defendants also say that they. Young,
twker and Butler, have not been appointed by
the church, because the appointment has not
been recorded in the Clerk’s office of the Su
perior Court. If you find that it has not been
recorded in the book containing the record of
bU L th ? : *7 1148 been recorded in the
Clerk s office in the minute book of the Su
perior Court, that, it seems to me, is sufficient.
At any rate, gentlemen. I charge you if you
find these facts, that Young, Baker
an “ Butler were legally appointed trustees,
and that they are trustees now unless they
have been removed by the church, and by the
church I mean a legal judicatory conference
of the church. This brings us one step farther
in this investigation. Have they been remov
ed? Complainants say they have never been
legally removed; that they never were notified
of any charge against them; that they never
received any notice to attend any conference
to answer charges; that they have never been
afforded the opportunity to defend themselves;
that they have been condemned un
heard. They invoke the protection of the
maxim, which is both common sense and
common justice, that no man should be con
demned unheard. This is a strong appeal to a
sense of right and justice, and ought to have
availed in the ecclesiastical court. The court
ought not to have proceeded against the old
trustees and deacons without notice, and with
out giving them the opportunity to defend
themselves. But has this court Jurisdiction
to review and correct the irregularity in'not
giving notice, the injustice in not affording the
opportunity of defense to the parties? In
mv opinion the only question bearing upon
this matter, of which this couut has jurisdic
tion, is whether the judicatory or the ecclesi
astical court, whose action is before us, was a
legal judicatory of the church. If it be a legal
judicatory this court has no jurisdiction to re
view the Irregularity of its proceedings, or the
injustice of its decision.
If the civil courts have this power, where, I
ask, is the limit to it? What decision of our
ecclesiastical court may not be brought before
the civil courts on the ground that the pro
ceedings were irregular or the decision wrong
or unjust? It does seem to me that this ming
ling of Church and State ought to be most care
fully avoided.
There is, it seems to me, a difference in this
case, as between the old and new deacons and
the old and new trustees. Deacons are officers
of the church, and the right of the church to
remove them and put others in their places is
undoubted, at least not doubted by me. Trus
tees are not officers of the church; they need
not be members of the church; and at first I
doubted if the church had the power to
remove them. My idea was that the clvi
courts alone had this power. In this,
however, I was mistaken. TheLoyfshitnrf ias

dooiil : r form of govorr.ment, in which the ma
j nUolute and irresponsible despot
: mere is no higher tribunal than the
church conference to which a party wronged
may appeal. Whatever a majority of the con
ference does is done, whether right or wrong.
'1 here is no higher tribunal in the church, and
the civil courts have no jurisdiction to supervise
and control it. In this respect trustees under
the act upon the same level with
deacons and members of the church. As to
the rules of discipline the majority ought to
observe them, but if they do not, where is the
remedy? Echo answers where? The majority
has spoken, and the majority in the congre
gational form of government is absolute. I
say again what I have already said, that the
only question for the civil courts is, was the
body claiming to be a conference of the
church a legal conference? If not legal, all
they do is void; if legal, all they do is binding
on the members of the church, whether right
or wrong, just or unjust.
I will cite a single authority to which I have
been referred by counsel in the argument, as
sustaining, or, at least, tending very strongly
to sustain the views I have expressed. Its
language as seated in the United States Digest
is; “When persons have voluntarily associated
themselves into a society of Christians, recog
nizing no ecclesiastical tribunal, with authori
ty to revise its final determination, such a
church is what is denominated congregational
and bos the exclusive right to deal with its de
faulting members, aud the courts cannot su
pervise or control that jurisdiction.” 6U. 8.
I will add another authority. In 33d Ameri
can Reports the court says: “Itfbelongs not to
the civil power to enter into or review the pro
ceedings of a spiritual court. The judgments
of religious associations bearing on their own
members are not examinable here.” A little
further on the court says; “Whether in what
the church did it acted right or wrong, this
court cannot approach its precincts to inquire
and is powerless to redress any wrong inflicted
on appellant thereby. By becoming a member
of the church he subjected himself to its eccle
siastical power, and neither this nor any other
earthly tribunal can supervise or control that
jurisdiction.” In another place the court,
speaking of the church judicatory, says: ‘-We
cannot go behind its action to inquire whether
it acted rightly or wrongfully, justly or unjust
ly, and its action is not examinable In a civil
court.” y
Much importance has been given by counsel
on both sides to the question. Where is the ma
jority? Not, however, more than It is entitled
to, for wherever the majority is there Is the
church. On this subject I charge you that the
majority you are called upon to decide Is the
majority as it existed at the time of the split
or at least at the time this bill was filed, not to
the majority as it exists now. If theseceders
were the majority they are the church, not
withstanding their secession. For while the
church has the right to worship in the building
yet they may, if they see fit, worship In any
other locality. They would only cease to be
the church by connecting themselves with an
other denomination. If those who remained in
the buiiding were the majority they are
the church. Wherever you find the major
ity, gentlemen, there is the church, wheth
er you find it in the brick building
or at the Beach Institute. Neither
party has connected itself with anoth
er denomination, so far as the evidence shows.
Complainants and defendants all claim to be
members of the First African Baptist Church,
and profess to adhere to its form of govern
ment and discipline. They are all entitled to
the right of worshiping ia the building;
neither can exclude the other.
I have been referred to the decision of the
Supreme Court, rendered in the very case we
are trying, as settling all the law by which it is
to be governed. I recognize that decision, as
I do all the dec sions of the Supreme Court, as
law. This I would do, even If I differed from
the Supreme Court. Much more will Jdo it
when I believe, as I do believe in this case,
that the decision is right. 1 hsvp but one re
mark to make; Before you apply the law,
find the facts that make the law applicable.
As the case stood before the Bupreme Court,
the allegations of the bill were true without
proof, for it was before them on demurrer.
The case stands before you on the evidence.
You must, under the evtdeno a , find the facts
before you apply the law.
One remark, in conclusion: If you reinstate
the old trustees, or retain the new trustees,
whichever is in the trust, hold the building in
trust as a place of worship for the church—
the whole church. Neither party can use it to
the exclusion of the other. This remark does
not apply to the case as between the contend
ing trustees. As betwean them, whoever you
find to be the legal trustees are entitled to the
possession of the building, to the exclusion of
the others; but they hold it under the trust
which is for the use of the church as a place
of worship, not for a part of the church, but
for the whole church. No portion of the church
is entitled to the use of the building as a place
of worship to the exclusion of another por
tion.

The Wealey memorial Volume.
Like many who were perfectly fascinated
by the Sabbath night lecture of Dr. Clarke,
I wanted to see the book. To say that the
goods in bulk equal the sample Is to say a
great deal, but not too much. lam famil
iar with subscription books, and made one
that I sold six thousand of, and I never
saw one better made, and never one &o
wonderful In matter or more able in man
ner. That the city proud of Oglethorpe,
Greene and Pulaski has even'more cause for
pride in that here Wesley had his only
paiish narrower than “the world,”
Is a fact that few of us have
realized. And yet It is true that
he made our sands hallowed by his
tread, as If a Luther or a Paul had walked
here. To review the book honestly, would
be to qxote it, and such a review can be had,
with all the pictures and auto-llthogr&phs,
in the book itself for only five dollars. One
gentleman of this city has paid a thousand
for his copy. Meeting Dr. Clarke after the
lecture, he subscribed for two hundred cop
ies, and gave a thousand dollars. One hun
dred he is to give to the poor and the ap
preciative, and the other hund'ed Dr.
Clarke Is to so distribute. The compliment
has no precedent so far as I know, and yet
It Is Dot so much to Dr. Clarke, nor yet to
John Wesley, as to Him they love. The
music of Charles Wesley has a noble place.

A FORTUNATE TURN
The R'marlt ...le i-t-'-k of ,1 J .
Comet Flayer, wh Mate. a Small
Fortune lu n Single flay,
Mr. G. Clayewe, first come? of the Frestf, |
| Opera Company’s Orchestra. Ia Certainly a
; ? mtieman whose good h iine many per I
j soai wii inyr. The history of the- ■ rcutu I
I stances a;.tending the stroke of In k by I
j which he became the possessor, suddenly, I
h'tee ■ t-. jo;an : dollars, illustrates the
1 fact that on' ia guided to the road to for
-0 sometimes by events apparently very
insignificant.
Last Friday, Mr. Wsyettc was atioliing j
aloDg Royal street, ia tue vicinity of Conti, j
when he chanc' and to observe a J
enter the offic. of. uau Jose Libano, No. 85 i
Royal, and Ins some of the tick
the monthly and, wing
tery Company. j and
watched the 1 roc and in his
mind wheth.
his luck. He saw the gentle
man lay 1 dollar
purchase half .of a ticket. Tl
course, he con he had re
marked the plat ;;k : > ■ from which
the ticket, had lake;. h walk- j L
and purchased ..mat: 0 of the
ticket upon whku ms attention bad been
fixed. It was the number 93,586. But
Wednesday came, and Mr. Clayette, glanc
ing over the list of prizes published in the
Picayune, was astonished to find that ticket
No. 93,586 had won thirty thousand dollars.
He held half of that ticket, and conse
quently wss entitled to fifteen thousand dol
lars—seventy-five thousand trades! This in
telligence he conveyed to his friends, but
they could scarcely realize that their con
frere of the orchestra had been bo success
ful. They thought there must be some mis
take. “SeveDty-five thousand francs for
one dollar 1” It w 6 too much. They could
not believe It.
Nevertheless, it was true, delightfully
true, so far as Mr. Clayette was concerned.
The writer met him on Thursday morning
as he came out of the Louisiana Lottery
Company’s office, on St. Charles street, with
a check on the Louisiana National Bank for
$15,000.
Suffice it to say, it was Mr. Isaac Kern
who had preceded Mr. Clayette into Libano’s
office, on Royal street, and purchased half
of ticket No. 93,586. He, too, Is now richer
by $15,000.
“You are from France, I believe,” re
marked the reporter to Mr. Clayette.
“Yes,” he replied in French, “this Is my
first visit to America. I came from Paris
with Mr. de Beauplau’s Opera Company.”
“Is this your first speculation in lottery
tickets?”
“No, indeed,” said Mr. Clayette, “I have
before bought tickets in the Paris Lottery,
but never won anything, and was begin
ning to think that I never would be so for
tunate as to obtain a prise In a lottery.”
“You will not forget New Orleans when
you go away?”
“Certainly not,” he responded with a
smile, “I have a beautiful souvenir of this
city,” pointing to his check.
In the course cf conversation, Mr.
Clayette observed that he would still con
tinue to play the cornet, but he thought the
notes would sound sweeter than they had
ever done in the past. Before leaving Paris
he had had a presentment that some good
fortune was in store for him, and it had
come; he was happy.
Mr. Clayette is a handsome man, in the
prime of life. It was learned that he has
traveled much, and at one time was a
soldier.— New Orleans Picayune, Felt. 11,

SIRS. ALLEN’S CASE.
Mother and Bon Relieved by Simple
Means.
I write to state that last spring I gave my
•'back a severe wrench, which caused me
great pain, from which I could get no relief
until I was induced to try Benson’s Capclne
Porous Plaster, which brought rest and
cured me. My little boy had a considerable
bronchial affection. I cut one of the Ben
son’s Plasters in two parts and applied one
of them above his breast bone, the other
between his shoulder blades, and noticed
that on the following day his cough had
entirely subsided. I have used the old style
of porous plasters, and am convinced that
Benson’s Capclne Porous Plaster is far su
perior. Mrs. W. H. Allen,

“Simmons’ Liver Regulator Is certainly a
specific for that class of complains which it
claims to cure. Of Its beneficial effects we
do know something; and, from personal ex

have not been exaggerated by the many
flattering notices of the press. If any of our
fellow-beings are suffering from hepatic

ment of Philip to Nathaniel, ‘Come and
