reports tho probable deatrnotion of tho
Steamship City of New Radford, osased
by running utkoro in a dense fog Satnr

These mishaps tro beooming fearfully
common.
Ws invito attention to the letter of onr
special reporter of tho Leftwick-Block
case, now on trial before the Atlanta
Presbytery in LawrencevUle. Tho friends
of Mr. Block srs very strong, and the re
sult la reported doubtful. In any event,
the church has suttiinod a cruel blow by
having this question thrust upon it when
it was wholly unnecessary, and can only
produoe division and hard feeling.

Wab News.—Thero la nothing portion
larly striking or saliont in the war news
by our telegrams this morning. To read
what Bismarck says, to-wit, that thero {b
uotaing in the way now of direct neeoti
ations between the contending parties,
Russia and England, and the former
stands ready to make all reasonable con
cessions, ono would suppose a friendly
parley would make all right.
But then comes the nows of the ex'
pected mobilisation of tho British Army
in India, tho issue of arms from the Tow
er of London for the reserves, tho Rue-
Mian privateering notes of preparation on
tbo Pacifio coast, nnd other warlike ru

and merely repeat, nous verrons.
Tim Columbia Cbew.—The attention
paid to athletic spoils at the North is far
in exocss of that devoted to them in
Southern colleges. Rowing, gymno&tio
exeroiso, etc., rooeive full attention while
such t-ports as foot ball, base ball andrnn-
ning matches, occupy a large part of tbo
time of tbo students.
The Northern colleges have to a great

rienced oarsmen they having been in the
regatta of the list season at Springfield.
Too littls attention is paid in Southern
colleger to the development of the physi
cal man, and reforms in this respeot are
mnoh needed.
Tiucnijji in Fun.—Those horrible
little nuisances that barrow in fresh pork
and when taken into the stomach, prey
upon the human vital?, causing frightful
pains and certain death, have turned up
in tho gills and lining membranes of tho
shad caught at Englewood, Fort Lee and
Coylesvllle, New Jersey.
Dr. A. Clandenim, with the aid of a
miscroscope.was able plainly to deteetthe
presence cf tho minute parasites. Some
of the full grown onea were an eighth of
an inch in length. The doctor cooked
same of tho fiib, and said the heat killed
the insects. There was great consterna
tion among tho people on tho subject.
The theory is that they were caused by
the fish feeding on tho offal of the sewers
near New York. What next?
Gen. Buti-sk on tho Florida return
ing board villainy, declines to tay what
street McLin't confessions may have
upon the House, on the ground that as a
member cf the judiciary committee be
may have to pass judgment upon them.
At the same time he ‘ lets on" sufficient
ly to discloao his own vindictive animus
against Mr. Hayes in what bo relates of
his communications with Dennis.
That worthy made a clean breast of it
to Butler, and said ho had held several
appointments under Hayes upon the
strength of those frauds ho had helped
to perpetrate.
The “Beast" talks also of being privy
toother rascalities m Louisiana by the
McVesgh commission.
Truly, Mr. Hayes’ worst foes are those
who were formerly cf his own household.
"What a pity Butler and Conkling are not
willing to speak cut, and that the latter
had not let the truth be known in time
to defeat the fraud of the High Commis
sion.
But then they expected, with Hayes
in his seat, a new lease of power would
be vouchsafed to the Radicals. Morti-
fit d ambition and defeated hopes are the
secrets of their present opposition nnd
hatred of the administration.
remedy so far as Mr. Tilden’s claim u
concerned.
This is the ground taken also by th e
New York Bun and Herald. The IVarid
makes no suggestions, bat is evidently
unhappy about it and thinks “Aliunde
Joe," with all his partisanship, left a
loophole of escape in his deliverances, or
at least did “concede that tho Federal
government could correct error and coun
teract fraud in a State." Thus that no
torious worthy said “if in any case it
should clearly and manifestly appear in
an unmistakable manner that a direct
frand had been committed by a return
ing board in returning the electors they
did, and if it did not reqnire an investi
gation on the port of the two houses to
ascertain by the taking of evidence tho
troth of the cose, I have no doabt that
tho houses might rightfully reject the
vote—as not being the vote of the State.
But whero no such manifest frand ap
peals and fraud is only charged, how are
the two houses to enter upon a career of
investigation ?”
But the inconsistency of Aliunde Joe
in that tbo frand was not shown
at the proper moment, for the best
of reasons, that tho Radical partisan
eight, of which ho was cne, re
fused to open the testimony and
allow the facts to come to light. Now
is too lato.
Even if shame should impel Mr. Hayes
to vacate his scat Wheeler would occupy
it; and if Wheeler followed suit, o-Re-
publicon President of tho Senate would
step in, or if his heart too failed him in
the face of an iniquity so stupendous,then
Speaker Randall might claim the succes
sion. There is no way provided for tho
seating of Mr. Tilden.
The attempt to do so would divide tho
country, and lose to tbo Democratic
party much of tho prestige which will in
here to it from the pronounced fraud of
their Radical opponents. It would ba
the signal for reunion (save in the
case of a few sore-heads) among the Re
publicans, and damage oar present ad
mirable prospects of success in the next
Presidential campaign.
Mr. Hayes seems resolved to act hon
estly, and is making a fair President on
the whole. Let the Democracy bide its
time. They can afford to wait.
THE CiJEOBUlA. JPKESS.
Let tors of Marque and Reprisal.
As was anticipated, it will be seen by
Sondxy’s telegrams that Russia is fully
on the gui vise in the event of the break
ing out of hostilities with England, as to
the importance of damaging tho com
merce of her adversary. Tho Unitod
States refused to sign tho declaration
submitted at Paris in 1850 that “priva
teering was abolished.” Neither upon
examination do wo find Russia mentioned
aa a subscribing paity to tho agreomont.
Moat of tho second rate powers of Eu
rope signed it.
Bat even if our government should set
its faco against sanctioning the accep
tance of these letters of marque by any
of her citizons, it would be difficult to see
how they could be prevented from en
listing as Russian sailors and soldiers in
Russian bottoms procurred by purobaio
or otherwise,and regularly commissioned
under the flag of that nation. Jnst as
Irish, Gorman and other foreign compa
nies and brigades wero commissioned and
placed in service by tho United StatOB
government in tho lato war, could Ras-
sia accept tho aid of Americans if regu
larly enlisted and commissioned by her
sovereign. Of course those thus em
ployed would, however, forfeit all claim
to the protection of their country’s flagand
become to all intents and purposes Rus
sian belligerents.
Tho desire for prlzs money wonld
doubtless soenro as many volnntoera as
Rassia oonld provide with arms or ships,
and the hi^h seas would swarm^vith hos
tile vessels. Tno injury to English com
merce wonld bo almost incalonlable, while
there wonld be no Russian marine wotth
speaking of upon which John Bnil oonld

London, April 25, 1878.
The New York correspondent of the
London Daily News telegraphs bsok here
tbo special oable dispatch of the New York

states that “sixty-five officers and masters
of the Enssiau navy had sailed for the
United States, and that in the event of

take oommand of vessels purchased in

Slates, and if snch was the caso that it

An Uolt Mistake.—A reporter of the
Constitution interviewed on the Georgia
Railroad train on Friday, the man who
was arrested for Dr. R. U. Palmer, at
Rutledge, and found that his name is
Professor O. fa. Plummer. He had been
released on-a telegram from General
Head, and was most justly indignant at
the treatment he had reoeived, and pro
poses to have legal redreis in the premi
ses. He denies applying to Carbine for
money, and says he has been treated bad’
ly generally. He resembles Palmers lit
tle, bnt not enough to be mistaken for
him by anyone who knows the former.

Won the Pkize.—Mr. E. S. Patterson
after a protracted and most stubborn con
test, won tho rod plume which was offered
to the best drilled man in the Atlanta Ca
dets.
Don’t Like Independents.—It begins
to look like Dr. Felton is not to walk over
tho conrso at last. Tho North Georgia
Citizen says of Bartow county:
She has twice supported Felton as the
independent candidate for no other reason
than that ho was from that county—and
it is now said if the party will nominate
Dr. Felton that Bartow will support him,
and we will have no contest—no contest,
provided Bartow gets the man. This is
as cool as a lump of ice as big as tho Fed
eral capitol. Opposed to nominations
when one of her own citizens is not nom:
nated, and in favor of nominations when
Bartow famishes the candidate ! That
county has heretofore rnled, and she is
now seconded in the support of Dr. Fel
ton, we understand, by the powerful influ
ence of all tho postmasters and all of the
revenue officers in the District; and then
tho doctor is busily engaged in distribut
ing chestnuts and walnuts by which the
rest of tho district is to ba brought into
his support. Then wo begin, with thi3
array of facts, to agree with brother Wil
lingham, that the people have bnt little
chance, when the doctor is supported by
Harlow county, tho postmasters, tho reve
nue officers, with the chestnuts and wal
nuts thrown in. But more anon.
North Georgia Citizen : Wo learn that
a man named Kiby, was fonnd dead in
the woods in Murray county, on Sunday
list. He had gone turkey hunting the
day previous, and when found he was ly
ing cn his back, his gnn, which was load
ed, across his breast, and a ballet hole
througn his body in the region of his
heart.
Still Leaving.—From the same : We
passed np tho read one day last week and
fonnd two parties of emigrants aboard—
one party from East Tennessee and the
ether from Coosaville, Georgia. There
were about twenty-five in all, the Ten
nesseeans being bound for Kansas and
the Georgians for Texas.
Labge Cobn.—South Georgian: The
largest com we have heard of up to this
writing is growing on the place of Mr. B.
N. Williams, of Appling county. His
corn—five acres of it—is now fail waist
high and has beon plowed twice. Lot
some farmer step forward and show a
better hand if he can.
Called to the Front.—Tho gentle
man who gave the editor of the Georgian
the information that Mr. John D. Mac
Leod. express agent at Lumber City,
male overcharges on an express package
will confer a favor by stepping to tho
front and explaining what he knows about
it, otherwise ho (the editor) will bo forc
ed to give the name of the party himeelf.
Come, show up, and let Mr. Mao Leod
see your hand, and save as trouble.
Chops in Franklin County.—A Times
correspondent say?: Our section of the
connty, I am glad to notice, has a full
share of wheat and oats planted, and, al
though not looking ns promising and
forward as at some ether times, we shall
harvest a good deal more of each, under
moderate season?, than any year since
the war. Judging from observation in
riding through the western end of onr
connty, I arrive at tne conclusion that an
ample crop of corn is planted, sufficient
to meet alt the legitimate demands of a
local natnre for another year—seasons
and proper cultivation being understood.

Local Lxgi,lation.—Hon. George A.
Mercer, one of the ablest lawyers in the
State, thus delivers himself on this impor-
j taut question in a letter to the Chronicle
■ and Constitutionalist :
The new constitution in article 3. sec-
; tion 7, paragraph 15 and 1G provides that
‘ all special or local bills shall originate in
i the House of Representatives. The
| Speaker of the Honse of Representatives
■ shall, within five days from the orgsniza-
j tion of the General Assembly, appoint a
committee to consist of one from each
Congressional distriof,whose dnty it shall
bs to consider and consolidate all Bpecial
and local bills on the same snbject and
report the same to the Honse,and no spe
cial or local bill shall be read or consider
ed by the Honse nntii the same has been
reported by said committee, unless the
same shall have been laid before it within
fifteen days after the organization of the
General Assembly,except by a two-thirds
vote.
No local or special bill shall bo passed
unless notice of the intention to apply
therefor shell have been published in the
locality where the matter or thing to be
effected may be aitnsted, which notice
shall bo given at least thirty days prior to
tho introduction of such bill into the
General Assembly, and la the manner to
be prescribed by law.
The evidence of such notire having
been published shall be exhibited in the
General Assembly before snch net shall
be passed. The constitution authorizes
local legislation only upon the perform
ance of certain conditions precedent.
Notice of the intention to apply is requir
ed to be published in the patticnlar local
ity at least thirty days prior to tho intro
duction of tho bill; and this notice mnst
be published ;in the manner to ba pro
scribed by law; the local act cannot ba
passed until evidence has been exhibited
that such notice—that is, in the manner
to be prescribed by law—has been pub

law,
made in a public gazette, or by proclam
ation, or by posting in public places, 01
both; how otten, by whom, at whose ex
pense, under what circumstances, and
with what detail?, must all depend upon
the manner to be prescribed by law. And
evidence that tho publication has been
made in the manner as prescribed by
law must be exhibited to the General As
sembly before 6uch act shall bo passed.
If tho Governor shonld not call as ex
tra session of the General Assembly, at
which a law could bo enacted prescribing
tho manner of such publication and no
tice, I do not see how any local legisla
tion can be obtained at tho next regular
session of the General Assembly, unless
the session of forty days should be con
tinued a sufficient time by a two-thirds
vote ot the whole number of each bouse.
A prompt appointment Dy tho Speaker,
aa scoa as he is chosen, of tho committee
to consider and consolidate local bills,
and a prompt passage by the General
Assembly of an act prescribing that one
public notice of a contemplated local bill
shonld suffioe, might enable tho General
Assembly at its next session, by a two-
thirds vote, to exact local legislation of
pressing importance withont a very
lengthy prolongation of its regular ses
sion. Without this relief, or that approv
ed by an extra session, local interests,
however grave, must, in my opinion,
bide their time until the second regular
meeting of the General Assembly.
Very respectfully yonrs,
George A. Mercer,
This Is a very important matter to mao;
of oar commnnities, and we are glad that
it will be thoroughly ventilated. A slight
prolongation of the regular session wonld
be more economical than to call the Leg-
isiutr.ro together in advanoo of tho cocsti
tntionid torn?
Old Capital: Mr. Emmott McOomb, a

tho platform of tho depot, when somenn-
acon person hurled the missile at the par

The colored depaitment, of this insti

A Kind Word.—Old Capital.—In com
mon with the) general pnblio we deplore
the deatrnotion of the Brown Honse at
Macon, whioh was burned last Snndsy
morning. The destrnotion of this home
like old hottalrie is an affliction—a griev
ous loss to Macon, to the pnblio, and to
the genial, whole sonled man, who, for so
long, has made its keeping a business.
That a miserable shanty—almoat value
less, shonld have been allowed to remain
in threatening proximity to this and other
vslusblo buildings, and finally, to kindle
the conflagration that destroyed them, is
a foroible commentary on the short
sightedness of tbo Maoon maniopality.

Important Decision fob BBUNawroE.
The Appeal: The case ot the Mayor and
council of the city of Brunswick, plaintiff
in error, vs. George A. Dare, defendant
mandamus, which was decided by the
Hon. H. 13. Tbompkins at the November
term, 1877, of Glynn Saperior Court,
making the mandamus absolute, was af
firmed by the Supreme Oonrt; as was also
the jadgment descassing so much of the
bill filed by the city against T. W. Lamb,
sheriff, and L. W. Hailiff, et. si. as pray
ed for injunction against the oreditoisof
said city to restrain them from bringing
suite against the city. It will be remem
bered that when the bill was heard on
motion for injunction the cbanoeUar,
Hon. John L. Harris, refused to grant in
junction only so far as to restrain the
jadgment creditors from selling property
neld in tra-t by the corporation dedicated
to pnblic use. Under tbo deoision of the
Supreme Court, the status of the ease is
that parties are still enjoined from at
tempting to sell property su held, and the
bill so far as it prayed other relief is
dismissed.

Lawbkxcxtillk, CIa., April 2G, 1877.
The Presbytery convened this morning
at 8:30 o’clock. After the usual prelim
inary matters were concluded. Rev. Mr.
King, of this place, moved that the rep
resentatives of the press be invited to
seats on the floor of the body, and that
their reports be subnrtted to the revision
of tho Presbytery before they are trans
milled to their respective journals.
The motion was modified by suostitut-
ing a committee in lie a of the entire body.
CONSIDEBBLi: DXBATE
arose on this questioc, Dr. Leftwicb, ad
vocating the examination of the press
reports before they were printed, fco;din_
that It was but a charity allowed by the
generosity of the Presbytery to suffer the
press correspondents to be present at all.
That though he would not question the
Aruth of these gentlemen or the press,
1 ^yet the whole Christian world was look
jpg on most anxiouriy fur the resulteoL
these deliberations, at d that it was fffost
essential that all reports should be cor
rect, and that it was well known that the
secular press was opposed to the church
in this matter and bs.d given such ex
pression to their readers. Dr. Leftwich
concluded with an appeal to the Presby
tery to sustain his position.
Dr. Jones mored to amend by reading
the resolution as follows: ‘‘That the
press correspondents should be requested
to submit their reports to the clerks of
the Presbytery for the correction of any
error, which might arise therein.” As
so amended the resclution was passed
Dr. Leftwich consenting thereto.
This distrust of Dr. Leftwich involving
the fairnes3 of the press comes with
sorry grace from one who has been em
ploying the columns of ono of the first
jonrnnls ot tho State as the vehicle for
the ventilation of his peculiar views.
The correspondents present were just
ly indignant at this palpable effort cn the
part of the ecclesiastical to muzzle the
freedom cf speech of a free and honors-
able press in a free lend whose funda
mental principles are freedom of speech,
freedom of religion aid freedom of the
press.
THE BLOCK MATTER
was then taken np.
It® will be remembered that some
mouths ago Mr. Front: E. Blook, a den
oon of the Central Presbyterian church,
of Atlanta, gave a party to his friends m
honor of his mother and sister, who were
visiting his family at the time, and who
wero on the point of leaving tor their
home in the West. There were invited, in
all, about thirty-five gaests, conainiiug of
several elderly people—friends and neigh
bors of the family—and tho rest young
people, who had called on Miss Block
daring her visit to Atlanta.
The evening was spent, us is tho cus
tom of the gentry class, in sooial enjoy
ment, tho principal feature of which was
dancing. The round dances were not
generally danced, only two conp'.os par
ticipating-in them.
In dae course of tirae Black was cited
to appear before the 1 ession of the Cen
tral Presbyteriatf ohuroh to answer the
following charge:
TUB CHSBOX.
Whereas, it is reported by common
fame that Mr. Frank ]3. Block, a mem
ber and deacon of this church, has been
guilty of violating tho laws of this
chnrcb, in reference ts wordly amuse
ments, in this, that, let. That said F. E.
Block did, on or aboat the 27th of Decem
ber last past, give 1:1 entertainment at
his residence, on McDonough street, in
this city, at which dancing was permit
ted and encouraged. 2 J. That he said
F. E. Block, by his owa act in thus en
couraging a violation of the laws of the
church, ha3 tempted other and younger
members of tho church to sin.”
Atrial before the church session was
the result of this charge, at which, “com
mon fame” reports a considerable exhi
bition of arcimonious and nnhrotherly
feeling was mado.
The rosult of the trial was the suspen
sion of tbo Deacon frern tho fellowship,
etc., of the church till ho should ropont,
by a vote of four to thrse, and said sen
tence was read out pntlicly a short time
after from the pnlpit of the Central Pres
byterian Ohuroh, by Rsr. J. T. Leftwiob,
D.D., pastor of said church.
From this decision, eeatence and rub
pension Blook appealed to the Atlanta
Presbytery of which seed ohuroh uossion
was a portion, and the case comes np on
this appeal whether the oonrt below erred
in suspending Block or cot nnder the law
and faots of the case.
Mr. Block has with him a short-hand
reporter who will take down verbatim
every word of evidenoe and argument on
both sides.
First in order was ike reading of the
sentence by the clerk, \t. Woolf, of New-
nan, after which the grounds of appeal
were read, also,
THE SENTENCE.
Mr. Frank E. Block, having admitted
before the session that an entertainment
given by him at his residence in this city,
(Atlanta,) on the 27th of December Isbc,
dancing, both ronDd and square, waspei-
mitted, and havingdefeaded and attempt
ed to justify the same, notwithstanding
the deliveranoes of the Presbytery of At
lanta and of the General Assembly, whioh
have both strongly enjo.med upon sessions
the absolute necessity of enforcing the
discipline provided in the constitution of
tho obnroh against snob conduct; and the
said Block having gone farther and de
nied the validity of this said deliveranoe
above referred to, as nr.sntborised by the
constitntion of the chmoh and tho word
of God, and having denounced the same
as an unwarranted usurpation of power
on the part of said jadioatories, it is,
therefore, declared, S3 the sense of this
session, that the said F. E. Blook be sus
pended from the privileges of ohnoh mem
bership nntii be shall give evidence of rs<
pentauce for this offense, and make prom
ise of refoimation for the future.
The grounds of Mr. Block’s appeal was
then read, as follows:
Atlanta, Ga., April 15. 1878.
'Rev. J, T. Leftwich, Moderator of the
Session of the Ceiiral Presbyterian
Church, of Atlanta, Ga:
I hereby notify you of my purpose to
appeal from the sense or decision of the
session of said church 11 tbe case against
me for permitting and encouraging dan
cing at an entertainment given at my
honse. By said decision I am suspended
from tho privileges of .1 church member
until I repent.
I hereby appeal from said decision to
the Presbytery, of which tbi3 church is a
component part, state tiia appeal because
the charges preferred against me do not
mako cut an offence under tho law of
God and this church. There is no proof
that any one sinned in the dance in ques
tion at my house. There is no proof that
caused anybody, younger cld, 10 tin at
my house. There is no proof that the
dancing d:ne on the occasion in question
was in any way sinful. For those rea
sons the session erred in passing sen
tence of suspension upon m-, and I res
pectfully appeal to the Presbytery
and pray a suspension of the sen
tence in accordance wi:h t!-.e rulcB of the
church.” Frank E. Block.
The clerk then proceeded to retd the
entire record from the session of tbe Cen
tral Church of Atlanta, including the min
utes of the session and tbo printed de
fense of Mr. Block read on tbe matter
before that body.
Mr. Block was then colled on to
MAKE HIS DEFENSE.
Mr. Block—Mr. Moderator, am I en
titled to conclude: I an the appellant?
Moderate!—You will be allowed a re-
j most certainly.
The Moderator then stated that the

a week’s sojourn at the Grand Central
Hotel, I have no hesitation in saying that
it is the best and cheapest first class ho
tel in New York.” ap30eodl.tr
original parties shonld be heard from,
and they were Mr. Block on one side ami vas concluded about midnight,
the session of the Central Church cn the* s. -o',' 'itu > C/. afril27, 187
other. Mr. Block delivered his conclndinj
Mr. McConnell tben objected, saying
that the charge is shown on the evidence
of common fame, and t sat common fame
was one party.
Tho Moderator declared that he had
decided the matter.
Mr. McConnell then appealed from tho
decision and spoke to his appeal on the
ground that the session was a court try;
ing the party, and not a party prosecutor
Dr. Jones oppo-ed the appeal.
Rev. J. L. Rogers, also oppesid the ap
peal, saying we are not assembled to try
Mr. Block bnt to Investigate tbe correct
ness ot the aotion of the oonrt below, re
ally to try tho session, and if their action
has been wrong to reprimand them. The
question wss called and resulted in tbe
sustaining of the decision of the Modera
tor.
DEFENSE CF Ma. BLCCK.
Mr. Blook then read his defense, found
ing it upon two gronnds, as follows:
Mr. Moderator: I have appealed to
this trlbnnsl from the sentence of the
session of tbe Central Presbyterian
ohnrch of Atlanta npon two gronnds :
1st. Because by that sentence I am
suspended from the ohnrch npon a charge
whioh in itself does not contain tho es
sential of an offense.
2nd. Because in tho evidence thero is
no proof of any offense with regard lo the
first item or count in the charge prefer
red against me. I urge that dancing in
and of itself is not sinfal, nor is it pro
hibited by tbe law of God or the consti
tution of tbe ohnrch.
By the session however, I was oan-
v| vioted, not for violating a law of God,
bnt for violating, as they claimed a de-
liverence of the General Assembly and
for oallieg in question the power of the
General Assembly to make lawn. I was
not charged with violation of a deliver
ance, or for calling in qnestion the pow
er of tbe assembly, and the session erred
in oonviothig mo for an offense not char
ged.
I have declared and now again declare,
that the assembly has no power to pass a
Inw—that the Bible is the only law of tbo
ohuroh of God, and that wo as Presbyte
rians have chosen the confession of faith
as onr constitntion of that Bible.
Before tbe session, in my defense, I
read an argument which forms a part of
the judicatory of the Central Church, be
fore which I was tried. In support of
tbatargumentlwillcitoHodgeontheCor-
fession of Faith, at pages 59, 60,61. 66.67,

well’s Collected Writing, vol. IY, page
312.
Mr. Block then read the above stated
authorities and sat down, saying he
would conclude his defense in his last
speech.
Mr. McConneil then replied on the
part of tho Central Church session, read
ing authorities and commenting thereon.
Mr. McConnell spoke till the hour of 12
m., when, upon motion, the Presbytery
adjourned to 2 p. m.
UPON THE BE ASSEMBLING
of the body, Mr. McConnell resumed the
thread of his argument, setting forth
fully his views of the authority of the
church to disciphno offenders against
what the session conceived to be law.
At one time the speaker touched rather
severely upon the supposed animus of
Mr. Block’d defense before the session,
alleging that he had charged the session
witn unchristian conduct. Mr. Black
called tbe speaker to order and read tho
passage complained of to the refutation
of the charge.
After Mr. McConnell bad concluded
the Moderator called upon any other
member of tho church session to speak
if they so desired.
In answer to this permission, Major A.
V. Brumby, of Atlanta, one of the church
sessicn and who voted to suspend Deacon
Blook, addressed the Presbytery in sup
port of tbo aotion of the session, in n
speech of some length and force, but was
called to ouler- by Mr. M. Van McKib
bon on account ot certain personalities
applied by him to the dissenting mem
bers of tho Central church of Atlanta,
whereupon Major Brumby disclaimed all
intention of hur.ting any one’s feelings.
Mr. McNaught, of Atlanta, alsa a
member of the session, and who voted to
acquit Deacon Block, then madeafow
remarks, which were unfoitunately de
livered in a rather low tone of voice and
their fu:l foroe thereby impaired. The
clerk then read a com munication from Dr.
. P. Logan, of Atlanta, a member of the
session, voting for acquittal al30, which
breathed the true spirit of Christian
charity and toleration. If the course
advised by this gentleman both before
the session and tho Presbytery bad been
taken much of this great evil in the
church would have been avoided. Mr.
M. Cole, a convicting member of tho
session, also spoke in favor of the sen-
tsnee. Dr. Leltwicb, pastor of the Cen
tral Church, tben took the floor and de
livered a speech of about six hours
length. I have been informed that Dr.
Leltwich has devoted much time end
study on thi3 effort, and it certainly
showed much research, and of apecaliar
and heterogeneous kind, his Epeech in
cluding ancr quoting not only the Holy
Scriptures, tbe Book of Government,
Confession of Faith, and other standards,
but also Washington Irving,
“dkwaldin ball room companion,”
and the famous, or rather infamous.
Dance of Death, by William Herman.
Mr. Block objected to the admission of
this testimony, as such had not been the
character of the dance at his house. The
Moderator overruled the objection in re
gard to the
“ball foom companion”
and tho Dr. read a full description of the
way a couple are placed to polka.
He began to read from*
THE DANCE OF DEAT^
page 20, the vivid picture of a most las
civious scene, such as is only witnessed
in the lowest bagnio of tbe crowded met
ropolises. Tho speaker had progressed
but a few paragraphs when Mr. Block
again objected, saying that snch was not
the dancing at his house, and that the
book was a most infamon3 production,
written by a prostitute to excite lust, and
would no doubt And market where it was
appreciated, and that no decent man
would allow a copy in his
house. A hearty and involontary
burst of applanso greeted tbe remarks of
Mr. Blook, and the book was read no
farther. In jiutioe to the Doctor we
wonld say that there were not more than
a dozen females in the ohuroh, as the
hour was far advanced into tho night,
and many had gone home.
Tbe followiog is an extract from the
short-hand report of Dr. Leftwitch’s ar
gument : “I am asked, are you opposed to
danoing?” “No, I am not opposed to it
at all.” “Are joa opposed to the wal.z ? ’
“No, sir." “Are yon opposed to the
glide?" "No, sir.” “To the dip?” “No,
air.” “To the German?” “No, sir?”
“To the ronnd dances?” “No, sir,”
“To the sqnaie dances?” “No. Bir."
“Then what are you opposed to?” “I
am opposed to the lascivious poslurj
iDg of ycUDg women in the presence of
young men, and, on the other hand, I
am opposed to the lasoivion? handling of
yonng women by young men. And,
therefore, when the chnroh speaks on the
snbjeot in 1865, it refers to it as the social
dance, and in 1869, as the promiooions
dance, and when it speaks of it in 1877, it
says tbe modern dance in all its form?.”
Dr. Leftwich laid great Btress on tho
deliveranoes of the Assembly and qnoted
them with great nnotion and foice, coa
feeding that tbe roles ot the Presbyterian
church were supported by the Bible, and
that tbe expression of the Westminster
Assembly as contained in tho large cate-
obism under the bead of the Seventh
Commandment, to wil: “Lascivions
songs, books, pictures, densing-i, stage
plays and all other provocations to or
ac.B of nncleanness either in ourselves or
others,” is the true rule in this matter.
That all dances were lascivions and ten-
ded to lasciviousness, and were therefore
forbidden by tbe law of the chnrch and of
will be tho final determination of tbe
trouble. In my next commnmcation I wil
give an account of tho epeech of Mr.
Block and subsequent proceedings in
connection with tLis matter.
