janitor, made him, under tL.e t: of in
stant - death, reveal the'com ^nation of
the safe to them and deliver up tho keys
of the bank, They rifled the vault of
presumably a large amount, as twenty
tin bores, known to have contained bills,
were fonnd on the floor empty.
The building is a eix story one—the
bank occupying the ground floor with
entrances on both Broadway and Bleeker
Btreete. Wendel Kohlman keeps a barber
shop in the basement under tbe bank and
the janitor lives on the second floor. The
barber opened his shop, and, looking at
a clock in the bank office, saw it was 35
minutes past air. He says there was
nothing unusual ia the bank at that
time.
At twenty minntes past nine o’clock
he was startled by the appearance at the
head of tbe basementstaire of janitor Louis
Wertel, white with fright and excitement,
with bis hands handcuffed tightly and the
key of the bank clntohsd bst ween them.
He was only half dressed and gaBped
“Thieves 1” “Robbers!”—“come and see.”
The barber accompanied him into the
back and saw the doors of the great
vault wide open and the floor littered
with empty tin boxes and burglar tools
scattered in every direction.
Tho barber notified tbe police, who were
scon on the scene. The doors, windows
and all means of access from without were
fonnd intact, and it was evident the
thieves had entered by mease of kejs.
Dan Keeloy, the night watchman, said
he left his post at 6 o’clock a. m„ aroused
the janitor as was his custom, and left the
bnilding, locking tho ball door after him.
He wa3 certain be left the comer at 6:10
a. m , and then everything wa3 right and
quiet.

assured the latter that the Russsianhave
taken no part in the Bulgarian uprising
in Macedonia which is merely a series
of act of brigandage by Bulgarian and
Turkish deserters, possessing no political
character.
Vibnna, October 28.—Tho Abend* Post
states that tbe latest news in- regard to
the development of the Bulgarian rising
is disquieting. The insurrection appears
to have tuccesifuUy resitted the first at
tempt at forcible, suppression, and is
rapidly extending. The insurgents are
sow advancing on Saves, On- the other
hand, some individual bands have been
defeated, and the Mohammedan element
is rising on all sides to assist the Porte,
and, moreover, considerable forces have
been dispatched from Saloniea to the in
surgent territory. The object of tbe up.
rising is unquestionably to realize the
idea of Bulgaria reaching to the Agean
S«a, in acoordanoe with the treaty of San
Btefano. It therefore has more than lo
cal significance, and tonohes questions of
undoubtedly European character,

Synod olGesrcla.
Atlanta, Oot. 26, 1878.
AITXBXOOM SB6SI0N.
Dr. Lsftwieh resigned the offioe of
Chairman of the committee on “Bills and
Overtures” and nominated Mr. Gordon,
of Savannah, of the same oommittee
Chairman. -
Tho nomination was confirmed.' Dr.
Lsftwioh then assumed the floor, on-mo-
tion to take op the unfinished business of
the day. The Blook trial was then resum
ed. j
Dr. Lsftwioh opened With ft glowing
tribute to the constitution of the Presby
terian Church. How a member of a con
gregational church has no reooorss, bat
most submit, but in this obaroh a delin
quent has three courts to which he may
carry the causa of his tronble.
That the defendant has the beat of
counsel, one of the beet lawyers in tbe
Siate, if not in the Sontb, that oonsoions,
as he was of his own inferior powers, yit
when he remembered the story of the
Snepherd boy and Goliab, the story of
the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon,
when he remembered the story of the'
few fishermen who went out to oonqnes
a world, be d .d not despair of victory even
If the power of his adversaries are mul
tiplied a thousand fold.
That though some of the brethren wish
ed to spare him and bis people the pain
of the discussion of this subject, yet he
rejoiced that tbe trial had come on. Here
iu this church, here where I have spoken,
I am glad that this trial will be heard.
It is more than poetic justice in trying
this matter here.
Mr. Block founds bis appeal on error.
Tha error must be in either tbe injus.
tice, amount of punishment, in the law or
in the discipline.
There was no injustice in the action Of
the Session, for Mr. Block gave a dancing
party at his house, and in this sinned
himself and also tempted others to sh>.
If the doctrine of the church is truth, the
firse brings with it the latter. So I wil
say no more oa this head.
I say, second, that there has been no
error committed by tha Session in tho
law of the church.
Dr. Lcftwich then read ithe asseition
offered iu 1865 by Dr. Ross: “Duty is that
which is due—that which bind3 tbe cou-
ecience.”
It is said that in all governments there
are three departments which are net only
distmot bat separate—the judicial, the
lei'islitiie and the executive. But this
is not true in the Presbyterian church.
Here, the judicial and tha executive were
the same. This deliverance is not
against any particular kind of danoe, bqt
against all dancing.
The teachings of the Bible and the
standards are indirect opposition tz the
social dance.
That the deliverance of 1865, teaches,
that tbe evidence of men of the woild is
against the dance, yet men will rise here
and eay tbe dance ia no violation of the
law of God.
That the eame deliverance say that the
sessions must exhort and entreat an ab
staining from this amusement; nest that
they must, after all mild means are ex
hausted, then modes must be resorted
to to separate such offenders from tbe
cbnreb.
This deliverance not affecting the cure
of the evil, Dr. Dabney, in I8G9, offered
an overture on this subject and other
worldly eins, such as intempesance, non
payment of debts, etc.
In this deliverance the Assembly en
joins the application of discipline provid
ed by our constitution.
ThR was a strong deliverance, Jaut the
sun has a spot upon it, and In this deliv
erance there was a blemish. The word
“promiscuous,” what does it meaD. The
dictionary says mixed, bnt bow, some eay
that it means danoing between the
sexeB, or the dancing together of the in
temperate with the temperate.
Separate these and you do away with
the lascivious character of the dance.
But tho true meaning is the union of
the sexes. The ancients even avoided
the union of the male and female in the
dance.
The speaker then read the deliverance
of 1877, and said that the Assembly de
clared that they were persuaded Chris
tians only sinned in this respect through
ignorance or thoughtfulness. But the
church has condemned all dancing, not
only lascivious, round, social, publio or
private, but all dancing without excep
tion.
We now oomo from the Supreme Court
of our church; we stsp down to the
Presbytery of Atlanta.
Dr. Leftwicb then read from tbe pro
ceedings of the Presbytery of Atlanta of
1877, that the Presbytery directed the
preparation of a pastoral letter on worldly
sins by a resolution that there wa3 not
a dissenting vote or voice.
Dr. Martin—Excuse tbe interruption,
I expressed m; dissent, though I voted
neither way.
Dr, Woodrow asked that nothing out
side of the record, printed or written,
should be touched upon.
Dr. Leftwicb—Well, there was no
vote against it.
The speaker continued: The Pres
bytery has deolared that to have any
connection with dancing is to hold com
munion witb Belial, and have fellowship
with the unprofitable words of darkness.
Tbe Synod then adjourned, as Dr. Lsft
wioh complained of feeling unwell.
A motion was made to adjourn till nine
a. m., Monday, the 18th, but Dr. Left-
wioh saying that he would be able to con
tinue his argument after supper, a motion
to adjourn to half-past seven was then
mads, whioh was oarried.
Ootober 26, 1878.
NIOHT SZJ6I0N.
The Synod sommenoed at the hour of
adjournment.
A report on the Theologioal Seminary
in Greenville, S. C., was heard and re
ceived. Dr. Woodrow then reported on
finance.
. The uoflished business was resumed.
Mr. Gordon, of Savannah, then arose
and said be wished the seventh section of
the twelfth chapter of tho Form of Gov
ernment expounded.
Dr. Leftwieh explained this passage
by saying that the meaning of the eeetion
was that tbe consent of n majority of the
Presbyterians mast be obtained before
yon- eonld ohange any old constitutional
law, and tbe name with making a new
law.
In my remarks I said that the session
bad either smd in the faols.of this case
or tbe law, or the discipline or tho
measure of discipline. The speaker then
briefly reviewed his evening address.
He then prooeedsd.
It Is said that error in dootrine tends
to eiror In prsetloe, and one of tha results
of this trouble has been that it has driven
brethren, who, In the past, were eminent
for oonsistanoy to error.
' It would be amusing, if it were not
painful, to see some brethren who shall
be nameless.
Dr. Woodrow—Shall these persons be
described ?
Dr. Leftwieh—IJam in order, and can
substantiate all £ say. These deliver
ances, if they are law, they bind; if they
are not law, tbenlheydo notbind. Those
who era familiar with this controversy
know that one of the features is, that
thess deliverances are not law. One of
the evils, I say, has been the separation
of the brethren. Men can be driven into
comers by toe untenability of their posi
tions. To deny the validity of the de-
liveranoes, is to strip the courts of the
church of all authority.
What is a conrt ?
The Speaker then read from a large
dictionary the definition of, a conrt.
The next point was that the decrees of
tbe Assembly bind, and to deny the fact
that the decrees bind, is to deny the ob
vious meaning of words. He then read
the definition of decrees.
Dr. L. then said that the courts of the
church were similar to the Council at Je
rusalem. You see, Mr. Moderator, that
the view that the Council at Jerusalem is
similar to our General Assembly is mon
strous, and other speakers say the same
thing.
Presbyterians, the world over, claim
that that Counril is tbe model of our As
semblies. Congregationaliste deny this,-
and here the glove is thrown down be
tween the two. I am surprised that any
one who hag ever read a course of the
ology could ever doubt that.
All sound Presbyterians are on tbe first
Bide.andall CocgregHlionalists, Presbyter
ies and some members of this Synod have
the honor of being on tbeothe.r. There can
,b« no more sound Presbyterian than Dr.
. Dickj and I ask permission to read his
views oa this snbjeot. The Doctor then
read tbe passage, alee a passage from Mr<
Cunningham’s book. “Then if the deliv
erances of this oounoil bind them at Jeru
salem, then tbe deliveranoo of our Assem
blies bind also. But if yon deny that one is
tbe model of tbe other, then yon deny the
jvsdivinvm. If yon deay this, yon have
no authority for your Synods and Assem
bliee. To deny the dootrine is to deny
ell Apostolic authority ; if yon deny this
dootrine, yon deny Presbyterianism and
uphold Congregationalism, and this con
troversy resolved to its last analysis ia
struggle between Presbyterianism and
Congregationalism. “Let no man be Of
fended. - ’
The Dooior then prooseded to give the
difference between these two sects. -
I am met with tho -proposition that
only judicial decisions bind, (reading
from page 130 of printed report extracts
of the speeoh of Dr. J. L. Rogers.)
The speaker then complained of being
hoarse, and the debate was suspended
till 9 a. m. Monday, tbe 28th.
Dr. Leftwicb d d not speak with his
accustomed power to-night, and on more
than one occasion lost his temper. In
short, this night’s effort is said by many
of the Synod to be a breaking down, not
vary short of a failure.

THIS GEURU1A JfJttGSS.
The Savannah Netos has the following
concerning the steamship General Barnee,
which foundered off Cape Hattera* in tbe
gale lact week:
Oar readers will learn with regret
through a dispatch in onr telegraphio
columns, of the loss of the steamship
General Barnes, Captain W. S. Chees-
man, which left here on the 19.h inet. on
her regular trip for New York. She had
careo of six hundred and thirty bales of
cotton, ninety-four barrels of spirits of
turpentine, three hundred and seventy-
three barrels of rosin, forty casks of rice,
three hundred and six barrels of cotton
seed oil and one thousand three hnndred
and thirty-five sacks of cotton seed cake,
but carried no passengers, lc would ap
pear from the dispatch that tbe Barnee
encountered the full force of the gals off
Cape Hatterae, and was foundered, her
officers and crew being resoued the same
day by tbe schooner H. W. Drew, of Bel
fast, Irolanl, destined for St. John's,
Florida.
The steamship, which is reported as a
total loss, was built in New York in 1864,
and was a schooner rigged steamer of 1365
tons. She commenced xnnning to this
f ort soon after the war, on what was
□own as the Livingston and Fox line.
On tbe organization of the Ocean Steam
ship Company of Savannah in 1876, she
was one of tbe vesseli purchased, and
since then has continued running regular
ly on that line from thiB city to New
York. She was commanded by Captain
W. S. Chaos man, an old and experienced
Beaman, and her first officer was Mr. L.
M. Murray, at one time commander of
the famous Nashville.
It may bo remarked here, as a singular
coincidence, that about seven years ago
tho steamship Charles W. Lord, whioh
encountered the schooner Drew with the
rescued officers and orew of the General
Barnes, was met by the General Barnes
in a disabled condition, and towed into
port, having broken her shaft. The Lord
then a3 now was running between Phils*
delphia and Havsnna. Captain Chess
man and bis men remained on the Drew,
with the intention, it - is supposed, of
coming to this city on the amvil of the
schooner at Jacksonville.
The Hews has an aooount of a national,
greenback-labor, etc., meeting at Savan
nah, Friday night, at which “the men
tion of Beast Butler’s name was received
with a round of applause.’’
The Chronicle and Constitutionalist
learns that Mr. George E. Ratcliffs, for*,
merly of Augnsta, died on tbe 8th inak, in
Lob Angelos connty, California. Mr. 5.
waa one of the principals in the Tilly-
Ratoliffe duel at Sind Bar Ferry, near

Wx jndge the Albany Advertiser has it
down about right in the following refer
ence to Wade’s proposed race against
Captain Smith in the 2i District;
Wade does not hope or expect to be
elected. He has been trying for several
years past, however, to work himself up
to a lucrative and respectable—God save
the remark—position in his party; and
he now proposes to make a martyr ,of
himself at Washington by being. beaten,
by a Democrat. Mark the prediction:
after the election, yon will hear a pitiful-
howl from this same E. C. Wade. He
will charge his defeat to “intimidation,'
and, loaded with artring of blood and
thunder affidavits from the negroes, he
will proceed to Washington to claim his
reward.
A Gcod Catch.—About twu weeks ago
Mr. Wm. Culpepper diecoveied a Urge
oovy of partridges crossing the road near
his house, when he proonred bis net and
after arranging it, drove nineteen birds
out of a “possible” twenty-two into the
meshee. This is good hunting for onr
clever friend.
We find the above in the Talbotton
Georgian. We differ with our neighbor
bb to its being “good banting” The birds
deserved a chance for their lives, and
most sportsmen will agree in theopinion
that they don’t get It with a net. Bnt
wa gueas we would have dona pretty
much the same thing if the birds had
tried to bite ns.
Wx find tbe following horrible story in
the Oglethorpe Echo:
One of tbe moat horrible sickening sto
ries comes to onr ears this week we ever
heatd. Ic appeals that a negro woman,
living on the plaoe of Mr. W. A*. Hardy,
of Woodstook, owing to cruel treatment
by her husband, committed 6nioide by
jumping lathe well. There ehe remain
ed a week, a nnmbei of persons using
water from the well all the time, nntil the
su3pioion of the family was aronsed by a
most nauseous taste in the water-even
the horses having refased to drink it for
a day or so before its use was discarded.
At last the water drawn up was fonnd to
be Btreaked with blood, and an examina
tion brought forth the pntrid tody of
tbe woman. ,

The Savannah News learns from a
friend in this district, who writes from
Valdosta, that “Hon. W. E. Smith, the
nominee of the Second Congressional
district, addressed a large and enthusias
tic meeting tn that place on Thursday,
and that he waa to address the people at
Mllltown y erday. Oar“corraspondent
says the Democracy of Lowndes are solid
for tha gallant standard bearer of the par
ty in the Seoond distriot. Our private
advices from’ all parts of tbe First and
Second districts are most oheering, giv
ing assnranoe of a glorious viotory over
Radicalism, Independentism and all other
isms on the 5:h of November. The De
mocracy of the wlregraBS region of the
State will stand firm to their colors, and
give a united and hearty support to the
nominees of the party."
Election ox Jusoxs.—Under this
head, the Americas Republican has these
good words] tor Hon. Thomas J. Sim
mons. of this oity:
Among.the important duties to be per
formed by the next Legislature, will be
the election of Judges of the Superior
Court in those circuits where the office
expires by limitation of law. Among the
names mentioned In the Macon Circuit,
we see thxtnf Colonel Thomas J. Sim
mons, of Macon, a gentleman- of fine
legal and liteiary attainments. He was
once President of the Senate of Georgia
and a member tit the Constitutional Con
vention, in whioh high positions he hon
orably acquitted himself. In his deport
ment he is dignified and congenial at all
times, and never austere. Meaning no
disparagement whatever to other gen
tlemen whose names are mentioned in
connection with this high. position, the
election of Hon. Thomas P. Simmons, wa
have bat little doubt, will meet the hear
ty endorsement of the people of the Ma-

People who complain so much of- the
existing “hard times” would da well to
reed the following from Benton’* “Thirty
Yean’ Recollections.” He says :,“i tin
“The yean of 1819 and 1820 were a
period of gloom and egony. No money—
either gold or lilver; no paper converti
ble into specie; no measure or standard
of value left remaining. The local banks,
ell but those of New England, after a
brief resumption of speoie payments,
again sank into a state of suspension.
The B&nk.of the'.United States, created
is »remedy for all these evils, now at tbe
head Cf the evil 'prostrate and helpless,
with no power left but that of suing Its
debtors and selling their property, and
purchasing for itself at its own nominal
price. No priee for either property or
produee; no sales bat those of the sheriff
and the marshal; no purchases
he execation sales bnt tbe creditor or
one border of money; no employment
OS industry; no demand for laboi; no
sale for the product: of tho farm; no sound
of hammer bnt that of the a

knocking down property. Stop-laws,
property-laws, the replevin-laws, stay
laws, loan-office laws, the intervention of
the Legislature between the creditor and
the debtor—this was the busin<B3 of
legislation in three-fourths of the States
of the Union—of all south and west of
New England. No medium of exchange
bnt depreciated paper; no change even
bnt little bits of font paper, marked so

changes deranged to the extent of fifty or
one hundred per oenf. DiHtress, the uni

An Absurd Rumor.
Some parties unknown, having pat in
circulation sensational and false* reports
concerning the late illness and death of
Mr. Charles Pattishall, of Houston
county, a student of Mercer University,
Dr. Battle, President of the institution,
forthwith precured the following certifi
cates from (he attending physioisns,
who stand in the very front rank of
their profession, and the ojm father of
the unfortunate youth, -himself a medical
practitioner of repute.
- . FHTBICXANS’ OEBTiriCATX.
In consequence of the ramors now cir
culating in the city that young Mr. Pat
tishall, a student of Mercer University,
who died recently, was a case of yellow
fever, we, tbe undersigned, beg leave to
state that the report is nntrne. We were
hie attending pbysioiane. The disease of
which he died was Hcsmorrhagic malarial
fever, which he contracted before leav
ing home. We give below tbe statement
of nis father, a very eminent physician
of Houston connty.
Wm. T. Holt, M. D.
' D. W. Hammond, M. D.
■E. Fitzgerald, M. D.
Then folio vs the statement of the fa
ther of thedeoeased:
My son Charley M. Pattishall who
died this day at Mercer University, was,
daring bis life a great snfferer from fre
quent attacks of malarial fever. Some
four or five years ago he had a severe at
tack of hemorrhsgio ms lari a 1 fever, then
prevailing in my locality in Houston oona-
ty, Georgs, preoisely the same from
whioh he died. I had met with this grade
ol fever iu my locality the present sum
mer, though it has not prevailed to aur
great extent. I make this statement to
relieve tbe apprehension which any may
feel respecting the healthfnlnees of Ma-
oon.
Daniil Pattishall, M. D.
Monday October 23;b, 1873.
The above requires not a word of com
ment, bnt we would simply remark that
the health of the students of Mercer is
perfect; and everything moving on
qnietly and successfully, with a gratify
ing inorease in the attendance over pre
vious years since the war.
Avery large addition is expected, also,
in January, with the opening of the new
year.
For near seven years, with the exception
the late instance, not a death has oc
curred in the University, and the health'
of the yonng men has been uniformly
excellent.
Indeed, if called npon to point ont a
site in the State of Georgia, or anywhere
else, more salabrions and free from ma
larial icflienoe or causes of sickness than
the commanding emiuencs on whioh is
perched the beautiful University building,
we should bs at a loss to answer where
snoh could be found. With tbe absence
of chills and fevers, there is also an si.
most total exemption from the typhoid
pneumonisF,’malignant dysenteries, etc.,
of higher latitudes. The above report
oonldonly be attributed to the grossest
ignorance or willfnl malioe.
A Chance-Letter’s Work.
Beddelord (Me) Journal.I
A year ago last winter, L. J. 8trout, of
Limington, while barrelling applets sold
to parties to be shipped to parts un
known to him, oonceived the novel idea
ascertaining their destination, by
writing a' letter and inclosing money
therein topsy the postage on retnrn letter,
and depositing tbe same in one ef tbe
barrel* of apples, kindly asking tne purch
aser ol that carrel to write him the date ol
peniog the same, name and residence of
the purohaser, the prioe paid, tba condi
tion of the apples, when opened, eto, In
about three months Mr. Stront reoeived a
Utter from a me (chant in London, Eng
land, saying one of his customers found
the letter and passed it to him. and by
him it was very neatly answered, giving
all the desired information in regard to
the appies.eto. Last winter Mr. Btrout re
ceived a latter from the same merchant in
relation to filling an order for some Maine
apples, bnt the quality and scareenes* cf
the fruit preveated his Hilling the order
satisfactorily to himself. This week Mr.
Stront has reoeived another order by oa-
ble for sever si hundred barrels as samples
for the same parties. The English gen
tleman wilt no doubt be surprised at the
aiae and quality of the fruit, whioh is this
year probably a third larger than two
years sgo.

Lovely woman, if thou wouldtt always

let more than five or six hours pass with
out closing your eyes for a short time—
say ten minutes; not necessarily to sleep,
but to repose the muscles of tbe eye.”
Every movement and play of the fees ne-
oessarily tends to fatigue these muscles,
whether it be a smile or the expression of
surprise or of fixed action. The closing
of the eyelids at intervals is, therefore,
recommended ae ft “beauty rest.” The
