Ragsdale, editor of the DeKalb County News, and Prof. McClelland, Prin cipal of the Stone Mountain High School. The Prof, has concluded to abandon the school room, and accede to the wishes of his num erous friends by becoming a can didate for Congress from the sth District. He is well qualified for the position, and if elected, will no doubt give satisfaction to his constituents. Mr. Ragsdale is a pleasant gen tleman, and we wish him much success in his new profession.

A ' M ' WiU "‘ U “ d MrS ‘ The Atlanta Presbytery, Forty years ago. a Presbytery was held in our village. It was a most important event in those days, as men came horseback one hundred miles to attend its ses sion and enjoy its blessings. About four years since, a session of the Atlanta Presbytery was held in our village; and, when it was announced that this session would be held here, om- people were rejoiced, as it afforded them an opportunity to have in their midst for a week, a body of able and eminent divines. Preparations were made for the entertainment of all the delegates and visitors, as guests, and ar rangements made to meet them at the railroad, and convey them here. Most of the delegates arrived here Wednesday evening and were assigned to their homes. That night the exercises of the Presbytery were opened by a ser mon from Dr. Leftwitch, of Cen tral Church, Atlanta. His fame as an able and eloquent preacher brought out a fine congregation, who listened with marked atten tion to a very able sermon upon the organization and history of that Church, and more especially devoted to an explanation of the power exercised in the Church by its Sessions, Presbyteries, Synods and Assemblies. It was gener ally understood to be intended to express the views of the preach er upon the questions which would probably arise in the celebrated case of Block, which stood for trial,on appeal from Central Church of Atlanta. The relationship of Dr. Leftwitch to that trial and the interest manifested in the issues made throughout the country, gave his views more significance, and the lively comments which could be heard on every side next morning, enabled us pretty well to arrive at the bias of each speaker. At the close of the ser vices, the emphatic dissent of one of the leading ministers, gave un mistakable indications of the character of the discussion which was likely to characterize the trial. At tlie close of the services, the Presbytery was called to order by Rev. J. L. King, Moderator. The session being organized for busi ness, adjourned until next morn ing. Thursday’s session. Upon calling the roll, sixteen ministers and twenty-one elders were found to be in attendance, viz: Rev- G. A. Peden, Rev. Jo seph Stacy, Rev. J. H. Martin, Rev. John Jones, Rev. J. N. Brad shaw, Rev. F. McMurray, Rev. W. Dimmock, Rev. J. L. King, Rev. D. Fraser, Rev. J. L. Rogers, Rev. W. S. Dabney’, Rev. R. F. Taylor, Rev. AY. T. Hollingsworth, and Rev. M. C. Britt. Ruling Elders : Richards, Knight, McConnell, Block, Dem mock, Barrey, Blake, Byrd, In man, McKibben, Brockman, Dough lass, Stevens, Thompson, Woolf, Huie, Lyons, Smith, Hoytt, Rus sell, Peden. A quorum being present, the body proceeded to tlie eleciion of a Moderator. Various nomina tions were made, but all with one accord began rendering excuses; modesty seemed to be at premium or else none of them coveted the task of trying to steer the vessel clear where there was so “much difference of opinion among the crew. Notwithstanding his repeated declination, Rev. Joseph Stacy, of Newnan, was chosen Moderator, and Rev. J. H. Martin, stated clerk, and W. Woolf, assis tant On taking the chair, tho newly elected Moderator asked the earnest co-operation and assistance of the session in the discharge of tho duties of presiding officer. Minutes of the last Presbytery were read and approved. Order of business announced by the Moderator. Reports received from the Treasurer, S. D. McConnel. Report received from the sev eral Churches. At the close of these reports, a motion was made to proceed to elect delegates to the General Assembly; Rev. J. H. Martin mov-, ed that Rev. Jolm Joneb andY^ , A. Mocre be appointed to repre sent this Presbytery. Mr. Woolf offered an amendment that Mr. A. C. Russell be selected as the lay delegate. Dr. Leftwitcli opposed any present action. He insisted that commissioners should not be ap pointed until the Presbytery acl .cd on the two important ques tions which were to be passed upon at this session. And that delegates be chosen who are hi accord with the decision of the body. And moved its indefinite postponement, i After some further discussion, this motion was carried by a small majority. The appointments of stated sup plies for the several churches were confirmed. A question here arose as to whether, under the rules of the Church, the Presbytery must give its assent to the appointment | of ministers each six months or only once a year. After a pro longed discussion, participated in by Revs. Quigg, Jones, Fuser, Mc- Connell, Martin and McMurray, it was determined that an appoint ment continues for one year. The afternoon session brought a considerable increase of delegates and visitors. We noticed in at tendance Rev. S. S. Gilliard Frank E. Block,Col. Mynatt,W. Mc j Naught, Mr. Parkhurt, Samuel A. | Echols; Jolmy Jones, of the Tele ! graph & Messenger, Mr. Fuller, Maj. Brumby, W. A. Moore, Moses Cole, Mr. Shumate, of Atlanta, i Col. Livingston, of Newton coun j ty, and Mr. Parker, of Covington. Nearly all of these gentlemen ! were here either to participate in the approaching trial, or to listen to the discussion. It was the theme of private conversation on all sides, and the ordinary routine of business was apparently inter esting. After disposing of the reports of minutes, clmrches, &c, the Mod erator laid before the body the ap peal of Frank E. Block. Mr. Block, an Elder of the Cen tral Church of Atlanta, had been charged before its session with a violation of church discipline by permitting a dance at his house and encouraging others to dance. He appeared before the session and admitted that there had been a dance at his residence, but in sisted,by way of defence,that it was a private social dance, in which he did not engage; and that, in per mitting it, he did not violate the law of God nor any law r of the Presbyterian Church; and, there fore, he was not subject to be ar raigned and tided by its courts. This being the first case in which that church had sought to disci pline its members for this offence, more than usual excitement at tended the trial. After a full in vestigation, the session, by a ma jority of one, found the accused guilty, and sentenced him to sus pension from the church until he repent. From this decision the appeal came up for hearing at this Presbytery. On motion of Rev. J. L. King, the case was set down for trial next morning. At night, Rev. J. N. Bradshaw, President of the Masonic Female College, at Covington, preached to a large congregation. FRIDAYS SESSION. After the usual devotional exer cises, the regular order of business was taken up. Rev. J. L. King moved that reporters for the press be invited to seats on the Door, and that they submit their reports to a commttee of five. After some discussion, on motion of Dr. Jones, an amendment was adopt ed that tlie reporters be requested to submit their reports to the secretary, so that they may con form to the minntes. The record of the proceedings before the church session, in Mr. Block’s case, having be«n read, the Moderator ruled that Mr. Block would be entitled to open the case, to be followed by tho prosecutor in behalf of the church session; and then Mr. Block should be allowed the conclusion. Mr. Block then proceeded to read his defense, in which he took the ground that the charges made out no offense against the law of God or the Church. That danc ing was not forbidden by the Bible or tlie Constitution of the church, and was not in it self sinful; and that neither the General Assembly, Synods, or Presbyteries could make any new tests of membership, and read numerous extracts from the stan dard authorities of the church to establish this position. He was followed by Elder S. D. McConnell, who argued all the is sues. in a clear, logical speech, for at least two hours. Our limited space will not per cun a. i:.yn»yua yi incuts in this case, as they occu pied three ilays. Mr. McConnell was followed by Maj. Brumby and Moses Cole, in behalf of the church, and by El der McNaught and a letter from Dr. J. P. Logan, in behalf of the defendant, Dr. Leftwich closed the argu ment for the prosecution, in a speech occupying about five hours. t# At the close of Dr. Leftwiteh’s argument, the prosecution was an nounced closed, and Mr. Block pro ceeded to read his defence. The parties having retired, the clerk proceeded to call the roll, and the ministers and elders, as they were called, expressed their judgment upon the case, some of them going into extensive argu ments, and reviewing the whole case and authorities. And nearly all of the ministers and a number of the elders responded in writ ten and oral speeches. The de bate continued with unabated in terest from Friday morning to eleven o’clock Saturday night. On the Sabbath, divine service was held at the Presbyterian Church by Rev. Dr. Stacy, and in the Methodist Church by Rev J. L. Rogers. In the evening Rev. W. A. Dabney and Col. Livingston, bf Newton, addressed the Sabbath Schools. At night, Rev. Henry Quigg preached. Wo omitted to mention that the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered by Rev. John Jones, D. D. On Monday, the discussion of the Block case proceeded and con tinued until ten o’clock that night. It was a regular battle of giants, and manifested occasionally an amount of partizan bitterness that was remarkable. It occasionally reminded the hearers of the de bates in the forum, or in our courts. After all who desired had been heard, the vote was had. There were three propositions submitted. Ist. Those who were opposed to,.sustaining the appeal on all the grounds taken, were: Rev. A. G. Peden, Rev. J. N. Bradshaw, Rev. F. McMurray,Rev. Wm. Dimmock, Rev. W. A. Dab ney, Rev. R. F. Taylor, Rev. W. T. Hollingsworth, Rev. S. S. Gil liard; Elders, H. H. P. Richards, T. W. Dimmock, A. W. Blake, D. M. Byrd, John Thompson, W. Woolf, A. S. Huie, George Lyons, John Douglass, J. A. Hollings worth, D.C. Peden, and Moderator Rev. Jos. Stacy, D. D.—2o. 2d. Those who favored sustain ing the appeal generally,were: Rev. John Jones, D. D., Rev. D. D. Fraser, Rev. J. H. Martin; Elders, W. P. Innman, M. V. Mc- Kibben, L. O. Stevens, D Hoytt,, and W. L. Shumate—B. 3rd. Those who favored sus taining the appeal upon the ground that th e penalty imposed was ex cessive, were:. Rev. Henry Quigg, Rev. J L. King, Rev. J. L. Rogers, Rev. M. C. Britt; Elders, S. D. Kniglit, R. L. Barry, A. C. Russell—7. We omitted to mention that the next session of the Presbytery will be held in Covington. In reply to an overture from Ebenezer Church, the Presbytery replied that it was inconsistent with the profession of Christianity to engage in selling spirituous liquors. The session proceeded to elect Commissioners to the Gen. As sembly, with the following result: Delegates : Rev. J. H. Martin,and W. A. Moore ; Alternates, Rev. J. N Bradshaw and A C. Russell. A resolution was adopted that this Presbytery appoint a commis sion of six to try to harmonize the differences in tlie Contral Church, Committee: S. S. Gilliard, J. N. Bradshaw, Henry Quigg; elders, Woolf, Russell and Peden. It was resolved that when the Presbytery adjourn, it adjourn ed to meet at Central Church, in Atlanta, on the 3rd Wednesday in May to continue the business of the session. Personal explanations wero made by Dr. Leftwich and Dr. Jones, in reference to some un pleasantness during the session. Appropriations were made for various purposes. 500 copies of the minutes order ed to be printed for distribution. A resolution, returning the thanks of the body to the citizens for their entertainment, and to the railroads for favors, was pass ed unanimously. It was resolved that all the un finished business of the Presby tery stand over to the adjourned session.
