Hew. Emits M. Weed, a prominent
New York politician, who was implicated
in the eipher telegram business by the
New York Tribune, states that while he
cent some dispatches from Scnth Carolina
there is not one word of trath in the

‘SiMi-OmciiL War.’—The Eossian

British officers in the Turkish service
daring the late war. The Golos says
that ’England, having allowed Messrs.
Baker, Kimball and others to fight tor
Turkey, Russia will not prevent her
officers, volunteers and ammnnition
merchants from going to and fighting for
Afghanistan. This wonld be semi-offi

official rapture, which is not to be appre

not see anything in the cipher dispatches

election in Florida. He has no doubt
that Mr. Tilden ’eras honestly and faiily
elected in Florida, and was swindled ont
of his election by the returning board.’
Gen. Barlow has no doubt also that th?
returning board wcold have given Mr.
Tilden the electoral vote if his friends
had seen fit to pay for it With respect
to the dispatches he thinks that no one
who knows Gov. Tilden or Hr Mnibli
will doubt that they knew nothing of the
dispatches, and he believes that their
denials will be accepted as truth without
reservation on evasion.

Twenty years’ experience as an ednea-

credit several chairs of instruction, and
devoted much attention to both ancient

xbe Afghan Cloud
appears to ha thickening. It is very
dear that the English have persuaded
themselves that Russia is at tho bottom
of the insulting and defiant demeanor of
the Ameer, and the Enssian coart journal
of day before yesterday is quoted as re
sponding to oertain dediarations of Sir
Stafford Northcote that, “if GreatBritain
is aiming at on extension of her frontier
in Asia, an attempt ts carry out such a
policy might early lead to serious compli
cation.’’
At Versailles yesterday a second Cabi
net council was to bo held, as wes alleged
in consequence of the gravity of the situ
ation between Great Britain and Afghan
istan, and a novel statement comes from
Constantinople. It is said that Arif Bey,
the President of the Red Cross Commit
tee, has gone to Mecca to hob-a-nob with
the crowd of Pilgrims irom Central Asia,
whom he will meet there next month, in
opposition to the schemes of Russia and
in favor of British polioy.
Thus, possibly, “the"Eastern question”
may be juit beginning. Affairs may b<3
just now becoming serious, and Grea*
Britain is not going to rest till her Eastern
dominions are so locked and double-lock
ed—bolted and barred, that no chance
for Russia remains;
Turkey is already embiaoed within a
British protectorate, and tbe British army
and navy will aland sentry at Cyprus
ready to flank any Russian column mov
ing for Afgbanstan. Simultaneously with
these arrangements comes the Afghan
quarrel which is probably intended to
eventuate In a new frontier still more ea
sily defensible than the Panjanb. Lord
Bsaoontfteldprobably intends now to set
tle tbe “Eastern question” at once and
for all time—for there will cease to be n
question when he shall have taken the
whole east and Bhnt the door agaicBt all
oomers. Bat meanwhile what has France
to do with it ? Why should she be hold
ing Cabinet eonnoilsat Versailles?
Tbe Storm.
The Western press telegrams of the
23d report th- • aU severe at New York
and Brookl , bough cot so heavy as at
Pbiladtlph:.. Its velocity was fifty miles
an hour. Ag >od deal of damage was
done at Brooklyn, Long Branch and
many of the seaside resorts.
Some of the antics of tbe great storm
at Philadelphia are aejoribad as fo lows :
Over forty churches, of all denomina
tions, were more or less damaged by the
demolition of steeples. Walnut Street
Presbyterian church, on Walnut street,
between Thirty-ninth and Fortieth, wa3
badly damaged. The spire, which is one
hundred and eighty feet high, was blown
down, and in its fall struck the roof of a
dwelling, which was very badly damaged.
In its fall a portion of the church roof
was carried with it, and the vestibule of
tbe church and organ loft filled with de
bris. The organ was completely demol
ished. The damage to this church
amounts to $35,000. The steeple of the
First Baptist church. Thirty-sixth and
Chestnut streets, 170 feet, was blown
down. In falling, the spire doubled up,
and the top, with the bell, fell into the
street. The damage is $25,000. In fall
ing, the top of the spire struck houses
opposite, damaging them considerably.
Tho spire of the German Emanuel Luth
eran church, Fourth and Carpenter
streets, 222 feet high, wa3 also among
the many chnrch steeples blown down
to-day. A great many market houses,
and passenger railway depots wore badly
damaged, and hundreds of dwellings,
chiefly in the northwestern section of the
city, were unroofed, some of them being
entirely demolished.
Along tbe Delaware river front no less
than twenty warehouses are without
roofs, and tbe water is running into stores
on the east side, doing great damage to
private stock and to goods stored on the
wharves. It is estimated that at least
fifty storehouses along the wharves were
blown down from their fastenings, and
great quantities of goods floated eft with
the tide. The Reading Railroad ferry-
house and steamers above South street
were demolished. The tido was the
highest known for twenty-seven years
A ship discharging ballast at Reed street
ituarf was blown on her beam ends at
Point Bretz\ Two brigs are reported to
have capsized. Tho Schuylkill river al=o
overflowed its wharves, and there are re
ports of much damage in that vicinity.

Georgia’s Governor
AT OLD MIDWAY - AMONG THB COL
ORED PEOPLE.
The above is the caption of on extend
ed article published in the Hineeville
Gazette of October 21st.
It appears that a committee of negroes
from Liberty county, ono of them Sam
Molver, who the writer taught to read in
old Sunbury when but a child himself,
sent a note to Governor Colquitt inviting
him to visit Midway church, which was
founded in 1752, and address the colored
Sabbath schools of the county.
The letter to the Governor was well
conceived and couched in conciliatory and
patriotic language. It appealed to him
to come and visit this portion of his con
stituency and speak words of cheer to a
class of the community who were strug-
ling to better their moial and temporal
condition.
Nothing could be more appropriate
than the place of rendezvous in the ven
erable taberaacle, which, having fulfilled
its mission in the palmy days of old to
the white race, and sent forth several col>
oniea and fifty ministers of the gospel,
when abandoned by the exodus after the
war of those who were wont to worship
there, was kindly loaned to the negroes,
who still occupy 'that insalubrious re
gion.
Here, traditions ivnd fond memories of
the eventful past are thickly clustered,
and the bones of heroes, statesmen and
saints repose in the quiet churoh yard,
Here, the faithful were wont to assemble
every Sabbath from a radius of fifteen'
miles, bringing their dinners with them
and listening to the ministry of each men
as Moses Allen, of revolutionary memo
ry, who preached with hiB musket in one
corner of the pagoda-like pnlpit, Daniel
Baker, Mr. Murphy,Bobt. Qoarterman,I.
8. K. Axsoa, T. 8. Wise, Dr. Stiles, Dr.
C. C. Jones, D. L. Bnttolph and ofttimes
others of the most devout and gifted of
the land, and here the centennial of the
church wae celebrated wiih great pomp
and rejoicing in 1852, the cannon of tbe
Chatham artillery firing the salute, Hon.
.William Law profionneing the grandest
Miou of his life, and the inhabitants
-ontalmost unanimously. T

Waite,
jubilee to the negross, and it was a gra
cious and kindly aot on the part of the
Governor to respond to their hearty invi
tation and appear among them uttering
words of cheer and good oonnael. Three
thousand colored people and many whites
greeted the Executive of the State who
was the guest of Mr. T. Q. Cssscle.
Of his address to tbe Sunday sotools,
tbe Gazetteers*:
As a Christian father be telked to them
of the importance of being diligent,
pnnotnal and fsithfnl in their Sunday
schools—of the duty of parents both by
preoept and example to train op their
children in tbe right way, accompanying
them to the Sunday Eohools and engaging
with them in the devotional exercises of
the sohool-of tbe great good that children
even, are instrumental in doing. In this
way the Governor spoke, adapting him
self to the simple minds of the youngest
children, and enlisting the attention cf
all, old and young.
When tbe Governor concluded, Mr.
Cassels, in a few remarks, expressed the
opinion that great good would resnlt from
his visit to the whole community. An
other enthuaiastij man, whom we take to
be R Republican, Rsv. N. L. Houston,
“then, as if by an uncontrollable impulse,
arose and said that although Governor
Colquitt had been eiooled by & different
party, yet ho was the right man in the
right place—that God was with him, and
the Soripture was fuifiiied, “When the
righteous rule, the people rejoice."
Afterwards the Goveror addressed the
mnltitnde assembled on tbe green before
tbe oharoh in a speeoh of an honr’s dura
tion. Again we quote from the Hines-
ville Gazette;
la a simple, unpretending manner,
the Governor, eschewing ail reference to
politics, told them of the important du
ties which devolved upon them. He
told them to act honoBtly and justly one
with another, to attend to their work and
endeavor to build themselves up in ma
terial prosperity, not to listen to those
who would try to lead them off from their
duty, but use their judgment to tbe best
of their ability to promote the happiness,
peace and good order of the country.
That aa citizens of the State of Georgia
they should work for the good of their
State. He advised them to cultivate
friendly relations with their white neigh
bors, that the attachment between tbe
two races was a strong tie, and that their
interests were identical—that the pros
perity or adversity of one would affect
tho other. Tho rights of both should ba
respected, and rogues shoal 1 be branded
with public contempt, and that even-
handed justice should be administered to
them.
The entire heart of this people was
won by Governor Colquitt, many of them
esteeming it an honor to b9 never forgot
ten that they had touched the hand of the
Chief Exeontive of the State. The grand
ness of his character was exemplified in
this, that while he mingled with the
great, their peer in every respect, he still
had a feeling for the humblest subject of
the State.
After visiting the venerable cemotery
and deolaring that it should always bo
properly kept up, the crowd dispersed,
and Governor Colaaitt departed, well
pleased with his reception.
We doubt not that this kind act of the
Governor’s will go very far towards in
creasing tbe sympathy and friendly rela-
tions of the numerous colored population
of the seaboard,to wards thenativo whites'
who are their tiuest and best friends.
Tho Lcitwicii-Bloct Case.
Tho last advices from the Synod of
Georgia, contained in the letter of cur
own correspondent at a late hour last
night, were, that it had been decided that
he patties at issue should each be allow
ed two advocates, to be chosen from the
Synod, and that the appellant, Mr. Block,
was entitled to the opening and closing
speech.
Hon. Clifford Anderson and Rsr. Bon
aid Fraser, D. D„ appeared as ccnnsei
for the latter, and Dr. Lsftwich and El
der D. McConnell represent the Atlanta
Central Church.
Dr. Fraser made a very able and lucid
argument in which the s ilient point was
made that the deliverance of the General
Assembly open which the action of the
Atlanta Presbytery was predicated, had
not beeD passed upon and ratified by the
several Presbyteries, and therefore pos
sessed no binding constitutional force.
He wae followed by Mr. McConnell for
the prosecution, who animadverted upou
what he termed the “contumacy” of Mr.
Block, and his alleged defiance to the
ruling of the church and General Assem
bly, which justified the punishment im
posed upon him.
Dr. Leftwich will be heard next, end
then the oase closes with the argument of
Jod ■> Anderson. It will probably ora
sun, < at least another day, and then a
geserai debats may ensue in the Synod
unless tbe previous question be inter
posed, wbioh wilt greatly protract the dis
cussion.
Muoh feeling is exhibited npon this
qaestion, but it mast not be forgotten
that though the Leftwich party would
seek to convey that impression, yet It is
not traethat any isane is made as to tbe
propriety or impropriety of ohnroh mem
bars engaging in the dauoe, bnt only as
fca the right of a church Session to exoludo
an otherwise blameless member from the
communion for that alleged offense only.
The lateness of the hoar prevents further
comment, bnt we cannot bnt hope and
believe that tbe appeal of Deaoon Blook
will be sustained by » deoided- majority.
Tlie Glasgow Bank.
One cannot help sympath.z.ng deeply
with the nnfortnnate shareholders of tbe
City of Glasgow Bank, who will, as to fsr
tbe larger part of them, be pursued to
alter insolvency. Up to the day of tbe
failuretbece people had not a doubt of
the solvenoy of the bank, and even of the
greet value of their property. It had al
ways paid them good dividends, and none
but their fraudulent bank officers and a
few habitue* on change knew any reason
why the atock should csssa to pay.
Bat the loss of tb9 stock is but a small
misfortune to those who have anything
else to liie. An assessment of $2,500 per
share has already been called for, 'paya
ble on the 221 of December and 24ib of
Janaary cex*; aud it is Baid will be fol
lowed by far larger oallej and as tbe
shareholders are driven into insolvency,
the assessments increase in volume on
those still able to respond, until the last
dollar of tbe Bank’s indebtedness is made
op and discharged.
Aa the bank holds a largo amount of ita
own stock this will alsb come upon the
other shareholders, and finally, if the
Wqalied “liquidators” are in any degree
aa wasteful aa those corresponding fucc-
tionaries in America, who figure as “as
signees,” the shd<eholier» may as well
feel for their bottom dollar at once—no
matter what may be the size of thoir pile.
Even the Duke of fatherland, tbe
wealthiest of the British nobles, who i D
-id to be a large chareho’.dor, may be
-«d for resources.
oust ATLANTA LETTER.
The Asanal Fair—Immsase
Crowds—The Synod ol Georg*
gin.
Corretpondenoe Telegraph and Xessenger-l
Atlanta, October 25.
The scene at tho Oglethorpe Park yes
terday was one of varied color and inter
est. The crowd was mnob larger than
on any other "cay, numbering no less
than ten thousand. The roads bronght|in
on their early trains large throngs of peo
ple from the oonntry.
I most say here that tbe order has
been admirable, very few oases of intoxi
cation or fighting having ocourred daring
the whol9 fair.
RACING
is the main feature of the fair, and most
enthusiastically have the sports entered
into the fall enjoyment of the tnrf.
4 (The racing has been unprecedentedly
fine, more and belter atock having been
entered for this fair than I have ever
seen at any other time, either here or
elsewhere in the 8tate.
The only objection I see to the entries
is that, in my opinion, the training of
some of the racers has been too fine, that
is, sustaining strength has been, in some
instances, sacrificed to lightness snd
s peed. The resnlt has been that the
victors in one and ono and a half mile
dasbe3 have not the power to sustain
themselves on a more lengthened race.
However, there has seldom been col
lected a more beautiful and valuable troop
of flverB for years in this State.
TBX BACKS.
The first race was of one mile heats,
open fer all ages. There were four en
tries, $200 purse, of which the second
was to receive $50.
The race was very exciting, and money
was put np heavily on ‘‘Bill Dillon,” the
favorite, who did not deceive expectation,
but came in first hard pressed; time,
1:45}; Springlet, a beautiful little chest
nut mare, second.
SHX NXXT BIOS
was a three-quarters dash for two year
olds. Twenty dollars entrance, pay or
play, $200 added. The second to receive
$50—four entries. Ben Hill, a chestnut
gelding, was largely a favorite with the
Atlanta meo, pools of $50 being pnt on
him very freely. Tue oolts all did well,
though they ware restive at starting, and
so made things rather irregular as to
evenness of start.
No Name came in first; the next beet
horse was Ben Hiil, though he oame in
tired.
TBX THIRD BACK
was trotting, 2:40 olass. There were five
entries, bnt only four starters.
Bill King was the favorite, Kimball
Jackson seoand, and tbe field nearly a p
to him. The best time made in this rao e
was by Katy T. in 2:41.
XICING BACK.
A match between pacers came off, be
tween heats. Sleepy George and Mattie
T., were entered. George is claimed to
be the fastest pacer in the Union, having
made it in 2:13-
In the first heat Mattie T., lead, mak
ing in 2:26- Batin tbe second the horse
came in three lengths ahead, in 2:27
easy.
THX JCDCBALL HOUSE
was a scene of gay enjoyment last even
ing. A large crowd of ladies andgentle-
men met in itsolegant parlors to enjoy
the classic music of the band of the 18th
United States Infantry.
STOOD OF GXORGIA.
I staled yesterday, the 24th, that tbe
hoar of 11 o’clock a. m. was set apart for
the address of Dr. Wilson on the subject
of “Missions.” The Doctor delivered a
most excellent discourse on this subject,
which evinced most severe and earnest
research into the question, and received
the careful attention of the entire Synod.
The rest of tbe day was consumed in
reviewing reports from the several pres'
fcyteries on the condition of tho churches.
Dating the afternoon session, a motion
wbb made by Rev. Mr. Lane, of Athens,
that tbe appeal of Mr. Frank E. Blook,
former deaoon of the Central Presbyte
rian Chnrch of this city, from the notion
of the Atlanta Presbytery sustaining the
sentence of the chnrch session, be not
disonased by the Synod bnt be aarriecLup
to tbe General Assembly, and the matter
deoided there finally.
This motion was amended by refer
ring the matter to a committee who
wonld decide whether the trial be en
tered npon at present, or postponed as
ii.bove stated. The committee, after
■‘considering the subject, came to the con
clusion that the trial must bo taken up
at tlio present session of the Synod.
During tbe discussion several excellent
epeeobes were made, Rev. A. W. Clisby
delivering an able and striking argument
for tho Immediate trial of Mr. Block's
case.
Lost evening the same Divine preached
in the Central Church, selecting his text
from the book of Acts, on the interview
of St Peter with the Centuncn Corne
lias. Tho discourse was well delivered,
and able, and gave much pleasure to the
cntiie audience, many of whom expressed
themselves in highly complimentary
terms npon leaving tho Chnrch.
WHAT WAS DONX THIS MOBSIKO.
This morning the Synod convened at
10 o’clock.
The first business before the body was
a protest from the Savannah PreBbytery
against being attached to the Synod of
Florida.
Tbe matter was referred to the proper
committtoe.
The Block appeal was then touched
upon.
A motion was made by Mr. Howard, of
Savannab, to limit tbo time of each speak
er to ten minm.us.
Rev. Mr. Quigg, of ConyorB, moved to
substitute one hundred minutes.
Dr. Irvine, of Augusta, said tho “time
anould be unlimited. “I may speak five
minutes only, but I would rather go home
than be trammelled by a limitation.”
The motion was lost.
Dr. Leftwich then got the floor and
commenced to disouss the question of
who were the proper parties to the ap
peal, but took his seat upon a point being
raised as to discussion being in order at
this stage. ' ,
The point of order was sustained, and,
upon motion, the Block appeal was made
the regular order of the day for 3 o’clock
this afternoon. Caboltok.
Breaking Up Again!
The Herald, under that time-honored
inquiry, “Is th* Democratto party breaking
up?" is very much of the opinion that this
is about the faot in the caqp. The Demo
cratic party is "bo foolish”—and no douot
it is a foolish party when we accept the
Radical report of it. Yery wicked, too—
for Swaills eays it is interfering with ne-
grtf suffrage in South Carolina, and what
Swaills says must be true, aa he never
was yet known to tell the truth by his
most intimate friends.
Bnt in spite of its folly the Democratic
party will cot die. It is principled against
it Even tho war did not hill it. For
about ten yearB, whon it had nothing to
do, hope or expect, but to come up yearly
and vote in mere obstinacy, it would not
die. It is trne, there is more danger of
death now that it is electing Presidents
and getting majorities in the Senate and
House. It is always easier to be honest
when there’s no temptation—to he pure
when yon have no opportunity do
wrong; and nothing is so fatal to parties
as villainy; bnt let us hope that what
ever foliy and impracticability may do,
the Democratic party may be saved a
death from knavery. Let the Herald
pray for us.
’At a shoe manufactory in Lynn, Mass,

Counterfeits ana Counterfeit-
.era.
There never was any discovery, suc
cessful invention or article of value that
has not been counterfeited. It is an
adroit method of stealing, and at the
same time concealing the obloqny of the
act. Hence, the names of solvent men,
thebeBt executed bank bills, and even
the eolid coin of the country are subject
to adulteration, change or imitation, and
the community is in constant danger of
being imposed npon.
A striking illustration of this fact may
be found in the case of onr former popu
lar townsmen, J. H. Zeilin & Co. No less
than eleven imitations bave been made of
the famous “Simmons Liver Regnlator,”
and they have actually established a
“Rogues’ Gallery ” to hold up to public
reprehension the names and persons of
these cheats.
At this very time, too, they are en
gaged in a heavy law suit to bring to
grief some of the thieves, and with
good prospects of success.
This house has expended seven hun
dred thousand dollars in advertising their
excellent medioine, besides making ex
tensive outlays for machinery, buildings,

Their compound finds sale extensively
not only at home, bnt in foreign lands,
and is deservedly considered one
of the best alteratives and moBt valuable
remedies for many of the diseases to
which flesh is heir, that has ever been
discovered. No wonder that they com*
plain of the many attempts to rob them
of their property and the fraits of their
energy and oapital. The proprietors
trntbfoUy say that “only when the com
mnnity demands that every dishonest act
shall be panisbed, and every fraud dis-
ooantenanoed and bani-hed, will times of
prosperity and confidence return.”
Oar xesderB will notice that the “Regn-

tomed plaoe in onr columns, and few fam

Their new quarters are airy and spacious,
and in a few days will be in perfect or

tour floors, each almost eighty feet
square, and handsomely lighted and ven
tilated.
The basement is nsed for a storehouse,
for hides, leather, tallow, beeswax, stocks
of oils, axle grease and other merchandise
of that character. The first floor is
general salesroom, and stooked with
harness, saddles, leather, shoe and har

as a general assortment of goods for re
tailing. The second floor *is devoted to
wholesale trade, and displays a large va
riety of goods; and the third is used for
mannfaotnring.
Here they employ about forty hands,
and produce everything in the shape of
harness and saddles, which they selL
They employ skillful workmen, end are
finishing off some exhibits for tbe fair,
which will please the publie. Their col
lars are produced in a separata and sd-

Their business, it will be seen, is main

The Kepresentativo Exposition
ot the People of Georgia.
OUR 8TATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
Nf-ver since 1869 has there been so
flattering an outlook in advance, for the
annual exhibition of the Agricultural So
ciety of Georgia.
Apprehensive that the show of the
“North Georgia Stock Association,”
coming juBt one week ahead, wonld
prove detrimental to the State
Fair, tho farmers and people cf
Middle and Southern Georgia, and
indeed of all other parts of the State,
have been put upon their mettle, and are
making grand efforts to bring forward
theii contributions for tbe honor of the
commonwealth.
Already has all the spaoe in Floral and
Agricultural Halls been taken, and every
stall and stable on the grounds for stock
has been sesured by exhibitors, and oth
ers are in process of erection.
There will be a grand presentation and
array of the products of the farm, gar
den, Isom, workshop, factory, poultry
yard, dairy and machine shops, besides
the handiwork of our notable housekeep
ers, in the shape of bread, pickles, needle
work, and specimens of the fine arts. Our
merchants, too, will all show what they
are selling, and the superiority of the
Hacon market over all Others in the Stato
In short, there is every prospect of a grand
display, and the entries exceed in number
up to this writing (Saturday evening) any
previous State Exposition.
We have advices also that Southern
and Southwestern Georgia intend to be
present en masse. • . . , ?
Tho exhibition of stock, fast horses,
etc., bids fair to be unprecedented, as
Mr. Peters and many of the Atlanta tx«
hibitors will be on hand with their cat-
tie, sheep, hogs, etc., etc.
There are other attractions which will
be offered to the public also dating the
week, prominent among which will be the
performances of our own amateur min
steels, and divers festivals, concerts, and
other amusements.
We can promise much to interest the
people and hope to see them torn out to
their own State fair by tens of thousands

Synod ot eeorgla.
Correspondence Telegraph and Heasenger.l
Atlanta, Ga., October 25,1878.
The synod convened at the hour of three
in the afternoon. The case of appeal of
Mr. Frank E. Block from the decision of
the Atlanta Presbytery, in sustaining the
ssntenoe of tbe session of the Central
Presbyterian Church, of Atlanta, was
taken up, as (he hour upon whioh it was
fixed as speoial order had arrived.
Some few miontes were consumed in
discussing a preliminary question relating
to the number of speakers to be allowed to
6Soh aide.
The Moderator, Rev. Mr. Baker, D D.,
ruled that tbe understanding of the Chair
man ot the Judiciary Committee, to
which the whole matter was referred yes
terday, was the rale, to-wit, each side
should, be represented by two advooates.
Mr. Block will be represented by Rev.
Donald Fraser, of Deoatnr, DeKalb
county, and Hon. Clifford Anderson, of
Maoon.
Dr. Leftwioh and Colonel S. D. Mc
Connell will represent the other side.
The Clerk of the Atlanta Presbytery,
Rev. Jamea Stacy, of Newnan, then lead
the record from the inferior court, (the
Presbytery).
This included every thing which had
been done in the premises to wit t The
printed defense of Mr. Block, sentence
of the Session, decision of the Presbytery,
etc.
Mr. Block’s appal from the decision
of Presbytery is as follows:
Atlanta, Ga., May 4th, 1878.
Eev. James Stacy, D. 2>., Moderator:
Dkab Brother—I hereretn most re
spectfully present my appeal to tbe Sy
nod of Georgia, to be in session in At
lauta in October, 1878, from the decision
of the Presbytery of Atlanta, rendered at
their session in Lawrencevilleon Monday,
April 29:b, 1878, in tbe oase of Frank E.
Block appellant, and the session of the
Central Presbyterian Church, appealed
for the following reasons: 1st, 2nd and
8th grounds of the appeal were stricken
as irrelevant.
3rd. On the ground that the decision
was not supported by evidence, there
being no proof offered that any sin had
been committed by myself or any one
else in my house on Deoember 27th, the
Session relying EOlely for proof on ques
tions asked me to make me con
vict myself, wbioh mode of conviction
is contrary to fundamental -principles
of justice both in civil and ecclesiastical
courts.
4 U. On the ground that 1 am suspended
from the oharoh npon a charge which
does not in itself constitute the essen
tials of en offense:
5th. On the ground that the verdict of
the Session was not corrected in the state
ment that I “justified dancing, both
round and square,” whioh is contrary to
tbe fact, as is shown in the evidence on
record.
6tb. On the ground that tho verdiot of
the Session was not corrected in the state
ment that I "denonneed the deliverances
of tbe assemblies as an unwarranted usur
pation of power on the part of said juriE-
dictories,” whioh is contrary to the faot,
as shown in the printed defense as of
fered before the Session.
7tb. On the ground that tbe position
taken by the sppellee and supported by
tbe Presbytery involves tbe making of
new terms of 'communion, not contained
in the Bible or in onr standard*.”
Frank E. Block.
The reading of tbe record being
concluded Mr. Howard, of Savan
nah, requested the Moderator to
rule that the speeches should be confined
only to the matters contained in the
record and the ground of the appeal.
The Moderator ruled accordingly and
then read the order ef the discussion,
which was, that the appellant was enti
tled to the opening and conclusion.
Rev. Mr. Fraser then assumed tho
floor.
Mr. Fraser opened his speech by
review of tho sentiment and history of
the Presbyterian church. He then took
np the various deliverances of the Gen
eral Assembly, onttaeBubject of dancing
in the order of date, and showed from
them most conclusively that there
was no authority by which the
sessions of tho churches could have power
to euBpend a member of the Presbyterian
Church for engaging in a social dance.
He, moreover, proved that the deliver
ance npon which Dr. Lefwitch and tbe
anti-dancers rely has no authority in this
case or in any other, as said deliverance,
to become a law, must be, ss proscribed
by the constitutional law of the churcb,
sent to all the Presbyteries, end an as
sent and endorsement given thereto in
writing by a majority of said Presbyteries,
and until this was dono said deliverance
had no more authority than any other
dictum.
Mr. Fraser speke at considerable length,
deploring the dDsenlion in the. church.
Tho speaker also contended that there
should bo no more new terms of churoh
membership or communion ;‘al8o that no
rulo of conscience can be made by the
opinion ot any mero man.
Tbo remarks cf Mr. Fraser were mark
ed by clearness and n oderatioil, and evi
dently produced a striking effect npon
tbe entire Synod.
Mr. Fraser concluded after supper,
about 8:30 p. m.
Tbe next speaker was Mr. S. D. Mo-
Connell, in behalf of the session.
Tbe first portion of Mr. McConnell’s
speeoh was directed to the discussion of
the law of tbe case. This he proceeded
to do, quoting from Dr. Tbornwell and
other venerable and rover, ad authorities
of the Cnurob, utterly ignoring, however,
the point that tbe constitutional law of
the Presbyterian Otmroh prescribes but
one mode of vivifying a deliveianoo into
a law, and in this oase the ralo had not
been complied with.
Tbo law referred to ia as follows, and
Is found in tbe ConbUtutionof tbo Pres-
beterian: Form ef Government, Chap,
ter 12. Title, of the General Assembly.
Section 6.—Before sny overtures or
regulation proposed by the Assembly be
established as constitutional rules, it
shall be necessary to transmit them to all
tbe Presbyteries, and to xeoeive the-
returns of at least a majority of them, in
writing approving thereof.
This speaker was also interrupted by
adjournment.
Atlanta, October 26.
The Synod met this morning at nine
o’clock, the moderator in the chair.
After tbe roll call and reading of the min
utes some lesser business was transacted.
The memorial of Bev. Mr. Milner in be
half of the heirs of Joseph Line, oou-
Ntraotor of the building o Oglethorpe
College, asking for payment of a claim
against said Institution, was taken up.
Said memorial was presented yesterday
by Rev. Dr. Jonee.
This morning Rev. J. L. Rogers moved
that a committee be appointed to investi
gate the Validity of Baid claim.
Tbe committee consisted of the follow
iog gentlemen: Rev. D. Fraser, S. B.
Speneer, 8.D. McConnell, W. M. Lowry.
W. A. Moore, M. A. Candler and J. B.
Estes.
Mr. McConnell then, npon a motion to
take np tue unfinished business before
the house, resumed the line of his argu
ment, at the point where he suspended
last evening.
The main points made by Mr. McCon
nell this morning are that some of the
points Of appeal were not deoided by the
Presbytery, and consequently should not
be considered in this trial; and that the
session was justified in their action by
what he was pleased to call the contuma
cy of Mr. Block and the contempt and
heinous sin of suggesting that the As
sembly might be guilty of fanaticism
This is n fearful sin, but one in which
Mr. Biook has the best of company, when
we recall that Dr. Breckenndge, on a
certain occasion, made much stronger and
more salient remarks of like import about
tbe Assembly.
Mr. McConnell concluded about 11:30
A.K.
Some debate then arose as to the seat
ing of two members, whose appointments
were slightly irregular.
Rennie Mr. Estes was seated; Mr.
Price L'vings'.one was rrjeoted. The Synod
50 cants. Forsale.by R. B. Hail. Maoon, Geo?. 1 then adjourned after tile usual r. l.gions

THE STATE FAIR.
A Tremendous crowd Expected.
TheExhibitlons Already Very Extent
_ slve.
Tbe Finest Racing Ever In the South
Reduced Railroad Rates.
To-morrow the greatest State Fair
Georgia has seen in nine years will open
at the Park. The prospects of the ex
hibition hare in the last two weeks sur
passed the hopes of its beat friends, and
tc-day they were never surpassed by
any Fair ever held in tho State.
Sixty thousand people are expected,
and they will not only attend from Geor
gia, but from Florida, Alabama and
South Carolina.
From persons who have just returned
from various portions of the State, es
pecially In Middle and Southern Geor
gia, we learn the gratifying intelligence
that the people are deeply interested in
the sneoess of the Fair, and will not onlv
wish it well, but will oome and oontribnte
by their presenoe to itB snooesp.
the exhibition
will be exceedingly extensive and elegant.
We feel so hesitancy in saying that the
stock exhibition will be the finest ever in
Georgia, if not in the South, and every
otherdepartmentwill be well represented.
Yesterday the Secretary and his clerks
made over six hundred entries, and if
not another article is pnt on exhibition
tho display will be uncommonly large.
Yesterday afternoon the Park was a
busy place, and exhibitors were arranging
their displays. Among other things,
there are no less than six pianos on ex.
hibition by one firm, and ten or twelve
organs are being arranged. The art
gallery is brilliant with fine paintings.
The stock and machinery are pouring in,
and by Monday all things will be in read
iness for the inspection of visitors.
THr TE3T3 OF 8FXKO
will be the best ever seen in the South.
Among the trotters which will appear on
our track will bo John M„ Scott Thomas^
Tom Scott, Hotspur, Aliice West, and
other horses, some of whom have a rec
ord of 2:20.
Sleepy George, piobably the fastest
peeing horse in the world, will also be
here, and another pacing horse, Mattie
Hunter, who made a half mile in Atlanta
in 1:08.
Among the runners will be Bergamot,
Glenmore, Bill Dillon, Eskley and twenty-
five or thirty of the most noted horses
now on the turf. These testa of speed
will show what can be accomplished by
enterprise, good judgment and good
breeding, and, like scientific agriculture,
encourage and show the benefits of hav
ing fine stock, and taking measures fo
improve in this department,
THE 18th INFANTRY BAND.
Another special attraction is the ISih
Infantry Band with their 22 silver horns
and the interestingjprogramme they have
arrarged especially for the Fair.
Dr. Carver, with his wonderful feats,
will astonish every one. He is the cham
pion shot of the world, and will exhibit
his flying elks and carriage, whioh will be
a novel eight in Georgia.
ENTRANCE FEE?.
The charges at the gate will be fifty
cents for general admission. No season
tickets, except to exhibitors. Admission
for a horse and buggy one dollar for a
season ticket or fifty cents for each time;
two-horse carriage season, two dollars or
one dollar each entrance; single horse,
twenty-five cents for each entrance at the
gate. Children under twelve years of
age will only pay twenty-five cents ad
mission.
HOW TO GST TO THB FAIR.
The authorities of tbe Fair have made
special arrangements with the railroads
and all will bring visitors to the Fair at
ono fare, they paying fall fare coming
and returning free.
The Central railroad will ran a Special
train on the Southwestern road, between
Macon and Smilhville.
The Macon and Augusta will bring the
crowd along that line into the city daily,
on an excursion train between Macon
and Cuinnk, It will leave Camak at 5:30
a, ra., reaching Macon at 9:50 a. m.
Ramming it will leave Macon at 6:30 in
the evening and reach Camak at 11
o’clock at night.
The Brunswick Road will run its regu
lar trains with extra coaches as will the
other lines.
WANT A SPECIAL TRAIN.
The people along the Estonton branch
of the Central Road are clamoring for an
extra train as the schedule cow in force
on that line almost debars their attend
ance on the fair, except at great loss of
time and expense. A petition was yes
terday forwarded to Savannah largely
signed for aa extra train to be put on,
aedwe earnestly hope the authorities
will see fit to comply. Such a train
wonld materially benefit the fair.
TC-HOHROW
the Park wiU ba very attractive—a splen
did opportunity to examine the exhibits,
and hear the splendid music of tho
18th infantry hand, etc.
The grounds will ba open at 8 o'clock
in the morning.
This is the people’s fair snd such an
attendance is looked for as only Geor
gians who teke a pride and interest in
the material advancement of the grand
old commonwealth can give.
Tue attractions will be here and If only
remains for the people to make tbe Fair
a triumphant sneeew, and we believe tbey
wiU. ~
The Cathelic Fair.
A very interesting and brilliant Fair
will be given this week by tbe Catholics
nt the store on the corner of Second and
Mulberry streets, in Johnston’s build
ing.
The ladies and gentlemen of the con
gregation bave been busily engaged in
decorating the booths which are fitted up
with much taste and beanty in design.
Tbe object of the Fair is for the bene
fit of Mont de Sales Academy, under
the charge cf tho Sisters of Mercy in this
city. It ia a home institution of recent
establishment and commends itself to
the patronage of tbe people generally.
Beside* the-numerous attractive ar
ticles which will be exhibited at their
opening to-morrow, Monday night, a
splendid sat of furniture and a handsome
Brussels carpet will ba raffled; also, a
splendid checker board with pieces that
can be nsed either for draughts or obees
A number of very valuable articles have
been contributed which will be mentioned
possibly in our next issue.
