Tbe JjelttricU-ISiock Trial.
Now, that tbe smoke of battle hu blown
away and tbe action of the Synod stands
dearly and overwhelmingly pronounced
in a verdict anstaining the appeal of Mr.
Block, it may ha wall to repeat that the
true isane of the case waa not whether
the Synod of Georgia and tbe Presbyte
rian Church, favored, or approved of dan
cing per se. Not so. This amusement,
ae commonly practiced, is considered to
belong essentially to the wotld, and net
In consonance with that gravity and decc
ram, of which the disciple of Christ should
be the true exemplar. Nevertheless,
when not indiscriminately indulged in, as
on the theatrioal board*, at mixed public
balla, masquerades, etc., (end it is not for
the writer to lit in judgment even upon
those who danse in such places,) there is
no law that should obtain bat tho law of
ccoscience, and tho sense of one'* account
ability to hi* God.
There are many exemplary ehnreb
member* who nan see no barm in tooial
dancing In the pnvaoy of their families,
and lend their children to danoiog school
ass part of their edooaUon. It would be
monetrona. Indeed, end otteily duropt
th* Chnrob, if all each were arraigned
charged with contomaoy, and summarily
ejected from oommnoion and fellowship
with believers for doing what their non
sciences did not d:eauprove of, nor the
Word of God interdlst. Yet snob would
be the retail, if Dr. Leftwiobend the ma
jority of the ■ east on of the Central Chnroh
had been snetstned tn this unwarrantable
provocation and enspension of Deacon
Block. We cannot donbt that tbe appeal
to tbe Supreme Tribunal of the Chnrch
will remit in another Waterloo defeat lo
tbia ill-starred movement.
The debates of Synod are exceedingly
interesting, and plainly set for forth the
trne inwardness of Presbyterianism, ae
utterly opposed >o intolerancy, and injus
tice in any form. Never did a minority
have such an eihauativv bearing, and, it
may ha added, never was a minority
more aggressive and uncharitable in its
deliveranoes.
The pastor of the Macon church waa
ever on tbs gut sire to protect the right,
and ah'nt' down the’flOod gate* of vitu
We can hot rejoice again at the draoe
eneul, and tmet that Mr. Block and tke
whole Prettytenan church stand • jimti-
fitd before the world on the dance qnea'
peration and ungenerous enimadvereion
upon the conduct of blameleea member*
of th* Atlanta Presbytery, who had the
hardihood to eupnort the plea of Mr.
Block and rroiat the quasi usurpation of
power by the Central chnrch under tbe
lead of the irate Dr. Leltwich.
All right thinking men most Indorse
bit manly action against the introduc
tion of the writings of laeclviona authors
on the dance qaeeilon, which were ob
viously prepared for speculative purpo
ses, but overdid their aensrtional busi-
nrei and have fallen still born upon the
public.
Prominent also among those who con
demned th* oourae of th* Central Chnrch
were those distinguished divines Dr.
Woodrow, editor of the Sovlkcm Prej-'-y-
ieriun, and managing editor of the South-
era Presbyterian Jtrrieir, published in Co
lombia, South Carolina, and the gifted
Dr. Irvine, of the Augusta church.
Dr. Woodrow is an eminent theolo
gian and logician, and his remark* were
oogent, eloquent and to the point. Speak
ing of the charge made by D<- Lefttncb
that the dancing at Mr. B'oek-’a house
waa 'Taeciviona.” he aaye
‘•Tho charge, so far aa any evidence
that I have aeon goes, is not true. No
effort waa made to prove It. It can be
falsified by tho ondenpe of many Chris
tian expert* on this question. It-tasaid
that it i* trne, in the Tery nature of the
case, that the danee must be •Iodbinous.
It is said that the pleasure of the dance
is the consciousness of sex. In the com
panionship of tbe saxes some of the pur
est pleasure* of life are found. 'They an
not vile and not to be repelled. These
pleasure* are gitsM by God, and see
should thank him for them. Tnere is a
charm in tha presence of woman like the
fragrance of the .violet, like the moss on
the roee; like tbe warm covering of the
otherwise cold landscape."
Mr. Cliaby—"May I illustrate this
point?”
Dr. Woodrow—"Tee, sir.”
Dr. Olisby—"Recently, A. T. Stewart’s
magnificent womans’ hotel was broken
into simply because no male visitor* were
allowed. [Laughter.]
But w* cannot follow the convincing
argument of the apeaker.
Dr. Irvine is too well known as « great
eermooixer, and able ecoleslanio to re
quire introduction. Ha said—wa-quote
from tha Ccmsiitafien:

Let Ttiem Have h Fall Vote.
We Insist open a full vote in thia and
the Third district cert Tuesday, notwith
standing there it no opposition either to
General Cook or Mr. Blount. Such
thoroughly acceptable candidate* de
serve it a* a compliment it nothing alee.
The fact that they have no opposition is no
season why their friends should not torn
out. It is their right and we demand it
for them. It will not do to say there is
no nee in taking the trouble to go to the
pells. That is not tte view to take of it.
We bold it to be th* duty of all good
dtiameto vote at all elections, and es
pecially wnen faithful and able pub
lic servant* are np for popular approval.
Itiajnat as mntn their due when tbe
field i* cl jar as when the con-
teat is sharp. It is a recognition
of their service* in the past and a stimu
lus ’or their labors in th* fatnre, which
all true men have a right to expect.
Both these gentlemen have served Geor
gia long and well. They have fully jus
tified the hopes of their friends, an I
boldly met tha demand* of every du’y.
Ripened by experience and armed with
tha knowledge tbat only practice in legis
lation can give, they are more fitted now
for good work than ever. They have a
right to expect, and we, too, ask a hearty
recognition of these fact* at the polls
next Toeaday.
Hear tbo Conclusion ol the
Whole Matter.
The annual Pair of tbe State Agricul
tural Society baa proved a brilliant suc
cess. From an official we learn that, by the
actual count of tickets sold on Tharsday,
fircnly-fito thousand persons were ou the
grounds, beside* deadheads and
exhibitors, which wool-1 easily awell
the figure to twenty five thou
sand. This is far in excess of
any popular gathering aver held in the
State before. We accept it as a happy
sugary that the people are resolved to
cherish and stand by that Society which
bat done so much to redeem tho com-
monwealth from the wilderness, and
supplement its resources.]
In onr lost day’s stroll through the
•evercl halls, which were being rapidly
dismantled and despoiled of their orna
ments, in tho shtpe of almost every
thing that is known in the economy of
man’s earthly want*, we found several
exhibits which woro previously over
looked.
Prominent among theae waa the
nrraiL duflat
of Messrs’. Waxelbaum .t Bro., which waa
one ot the largest at the Fair. Their
goods war* artistically arranged and piled
utmost to the ceiling, and ahowed such a
variety of pretty things aa has seldom, if
ever, been witnessed before in Floral
HslI. To describe thorn all ie simply
impossible, and tbs reader u informed
that he can have ocular demonstration at
headquarters on Mulberrry street, under
the Mieooio Temple, if he really ie a
“doubting Thoms-.”
Tho display ot clothing by Messrs.
Winahip k Callaway was also very excel
lent and beautiful, and the same is true
of tho tasty goods of R. S. Sanlabury,
E In the Art Gallery two splendid schools
of painting were entered from tha femslo
colleges of Macon and Forsyth. Both
were ruled out, because three entries were
required to ensure a premium for anyone
of them. But the judge* pronounced
both displays highly oreditablo to all in
terested.

waa executed at Car era, Italy, and tbe
first shipment of U reached August > a
short time since. Mr. Mark waiter com
menced it* erection at once, end on last
Saturday the entire work, including the
base, waa finished.
Toe monument is Mveaty-two feet in
height The base, which is of Georgia
granite, is twenty-two feet square. The
foundation of brick is four feet high,
making the whole eeventy-six feet in
height At tbe corners of the first sec

marble statues of Generals K. E. Lee,

Engraven upon tablets are the following
inscriptions:

Oa the aonth aide—Worthy to have

Onr city has been honored during the
past week with e long list of representa

did not report xmoiim it is almost impos
sible to recall their names, though onr
attentive city editor has made the attempt
to give them. We crave pardon for all
omissions, end declare to onr brethren
tbs’ the writer and bis associates have the
highest admiration for tbe Press of Geor

There ore men upon onr weeklies who
wonld grace a metropolitan daily journal.
And ofttimee in making their deliverances,
which the telegrams of the Associated
Press and a multitude of newe items and
local demand! deny as the privilege of re
producing, we feci the deepest regret that
the light of each men, comparatively
speaking, should be “hid under a bushel.”
To oar visiting journalistic friends, when
ever encountered among the vast crowd in
attendance upon the fair, we endeavored
to extend a cordial and whole-souled greet
ing. tendering to them the entire freedom
of the office ot the TiLtsKarn and Hex-
sxmtxb And,the hospitalities of our sanc
tum.
It win ever be a labor of love with «s
to help smooth the “ragged” edges which
eslt.oocar in the life of every fearless
editor, and give aid and comfort to all
of onr brethren who need the support cf
their comrades when beset by men of Be

never even hesitated to assail and colum

Mrs. Stonewall Jackson was present in
a carriage accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
John M. Clark. Governor Colquitt rode
in a carriage drawn by four white horses.
From tho eloquent oration of Co!ooei C.
C. Jones we quote this extract, as show
ing its style and spirit:
With rapturous joy do wo hail the ded
ication of thie goodly monument. With
kindling hearts do we respond to the in-
apiratiocs and the memories which its
presence bespeak*. We glory in the rec
titude of the cause, and exult in the
valor of the men symbolized by its tower
ing form and martial outlines. In open
day. and tn the face of the world, we
here protest that so far from being “reb
els against legitimate authority and trait
ors to their country,” our Confederate
dead were “lovers of liberty, combatants
for constitutional rights, and, ns tx-im
plan of heroic virtue, benefactors of their
race.”
For the past wa have no apologies to
offer, no excuses to render, no regrets to
utter, save that we failed in onr high
endeavor; co tears to ehed except over
withered hopes and the graves of cur de
parted worthies. We yielded in the end
because we were overborne by superior
numbers and weightier munitions. Any
pledges given will be by us duly observed;
but it is well known, alike by friend oad
stranger, that nothing has been abso
lutely determined except the question pf
comparative strength. The issue fur
nished only a physical solatitn cf the
moral, social and political propositions
involved in the gigantio straggle. The
sword never does, and nevsr can com
pass other than a forage-arbitrament in
matters of conscience, principle, and in-
alienable right. Even now tbe funda

at Bramel’s wharf across tbe river, had a
very miraculous escape yesterday from
serious injury. The steamer is discharg
ing coal, and tbe large iron bucket used
for tbat purpose by some means became
detached when just above the upper deck,
and fell into tke lower hold, where a col
ored man was at work, striking him
squarely on the head. The bucket, which
weighs one hundred and forty-eight lbs.,
contained two hundred pounds of coal,
and yet the only result was the stunning
of tlie colored individual and the breaking
in twain of the backet.

Synod ol Georgia.
Correspondence Telegraph mud Messenjrer.l
NINTH SESSION.
Atlanta, October 30th, 1878.
The Synod .reassembled at 7:30 r. si.,
and was called to order by the Moderator,
Dr. Baker.
Dr. Woodrow had the floor.
Dr. Woodrow said that he wonld not
give a long review of hia remarks thi9
evening. The speaker then resnmed at
tbe point at which hs bad suspended
to-wit: Tbat the deliveranoe in this case
are not law. I say I thick 1 can estab
lish what I say.
These deliveranoes do not profess to be
low, on their faoe. If there is any over-
tnre to tbe assembly that there is any der
eliction of duty tbe assembly mnat send
down a deliverance which binds.
I will ssy in passing that ua common
fame reported that there bad been danc
ing at Mr. Blook's house, the session wae
bound to investigate tbe matter, bnt they
were also bound to see if any law had
been violated. It was their duty to beve
examined the law, and to Bee if any of
fense fell under any law of tho Ohnreb,
and then their finding mnat have been
different, and they wonld thus have
obeyed the Assembly.
The Assembly may give directions on
oil matters of morals. The Assembly
has a legal making power given lo it.
Here he read from the constitution of
the Chnrob. The authority can only be
exereised through judicial processes.
Here be read from the digest by Moore,
page 478.
“It cannot be pat under statute, and
cannot be law.” Reading further from
the same book a deliverance on the sub
ject of diseipltne, touching the greut ein
of slavery, u they term it, and the ac
tion of the Northern Assembly upon it,
Dr. Noll ostqd tbo time of date*
Dr. WoodicST-ANOt?. I would hay that
the time was'4hek the feeling wa$ warm
est on tbe Bubjcc* The effect cfTthe de
liverance was that they have no power on
constitutional principles to pass any law
other than advisory; that it has no right
to pass an authoritative law, and that if
any attempt at- reform is made, it most
be strictly according to the constitution.
The whole truth is here stated, and it is
unnecessary for me to comment. If a
decision m a judicial case, it is binding
os law, but if rot reached in a judicial
case, it is act law, but only advisory.
That no exposition of law has ever pro
ceeded from the General Assembly as law
in the fornf of a deliverance. There ia
nothing trivial in any proceeding of the
Assembly, but the proceedings in a judi
cial osau are more important than any
other proceedings. A deliverance is btnd-
insraccording os it is in consonance with
the law of God, and whatever is not in
aooord with this book—God’s Book—are
leas than binding; ahd net only aro they
not binding, but each of ua now sitting
on this case are sworn to disobey and
resist. Blind obedience not only destroys
liberty of conscience bat reason itseif.
It ia made our duty to watch any attempt
to lord it thas over God’s church and
wist it to the death if neceisary. So if
any- chnrch attempts to lay any each
burden on me it is my duty to resist. Mr.
Moderator, reaiatance to tyrants is obe-
dienoe to God.
Rev. W. Aron—I wonld like to know
what you mean by personal resistance, by
law or otherwise.
Dr. W.—That depends on ciroum-
Etanoea. The Doctor then proceeded to
illustrate by giving as an instance of the
action on the part of the Augusta Pres-
bytery, in resisting tbe decision of tbe
Synod at this time.
When a chnroh attempts to make an
addition to the laws of God, what is it
doing? It is adding to God’s law and
comes under the sentence of those who
add lo God’s law. Yoa have put words
ia God’s mouth, he has not spoken;
you have taken the Throno of God; yon
are guilty of the greatest act of treason
yoa could be guilty of. The duty oi re
sistance ie established es well as tbe duty
ofloyalty. And now, Mr. Moderator, we.
eome to tho duty of obedience to the'
powerr'thkt be. But if yon transcribe
the power given yon] I defy and despise
yoor commend. It is only the powers that
be ordained by God that are powers
at all. Let ns look at on illustra
tion: St. Paul thought that he could
serve God better unmarried; so the
eborch in the early, ages recommended
eome men te remote unmarried, and it
was found that they were more efficient;
end so, by degrees, these deliverances bo
ned the cfo-rgy began to be un
married. So, in time, the law of min
became more powerful than the law of
God that man ihonM marry, ani it be
came a leas ein for *-priest to break the
lawcf God than to marry. Mr. Modera
tor, we must not yield to the authority of
the church where God has not command
ed it.” % j .
Mr. Gordon—“His the General As
sembly any right te declare the social
dance offensive to the law of God? And
wbat effect would a deliverance have on
thelsro?-’-
Dr. W.—Of no elf eat. The Assembly
has no right to make a deliverance a lew,
but the decision judicially rendered is law
and binding. We can only get tbe moral
weight of the Assembly when there is a
judicial decision rendered. , We now
came to the qnestion of lascivious danc
ing. It is admitted that lascivious
dancing ie a violation of tha command
ment. What is lateivioai dancing ?
The instance of Salomon is given, bat
the kind ol dancing charged is not this
kind. I do not know what ia a lascivious
danoe, and I do not believe that the wit
nesses know either. Who ore they?
Dr. Palmer azd others, who do not know
it by personal knowledge. I have bad
scores to tell me that there is no lasoiv-
iossceae in denting, and some yean ago
when I published an article in the South.
era Presbyterian, I had many good wo
men to come to me and as; tneie was
nothing wroag in it, and that to Bay ea
was a slender. I cannot tell, bnt I think
it a doublfat question at least, and there
fore there must be proof in each particu
lar case, find here there was no such proof
and the charge I say was false. It is laid
ttut the natnie of the case, the m ugheg
of the etxe* and th# constqnent pleaBnre
I, sin. tut I ssy tM« mingling of the yonlh
and mii.Une ie not sin. It is false; I deny
there wee prejudice. That there was no
lew against worldly amusements except
in their etcess. that there was no viola
tion of tbo seventh commandment, that
the deliverances are not law, and that we
ought to restore Mr. Block for these rea
sons, te the fall communion ot Christ’s
Church.
Mr. J. B. Cleavland, said he was in
an embarrassing position, sandwiched be
tween a Doctor of Divinity on one side,
and a Doctor of Philosophy on the other,
and another D. D., on, the other side.
Dr. Irvine asked the speaker to come
forward, and spoke on creating much
merriment for a few minutes by telling
an army anecdote. He then went on to
give his reasons why he would vote
against the appeal from the Preabytery’e
decision, eulogizing several members
of the Synod including Dr. Lefcwich.
Tbe speiker then gave eome little ex
perience of his own on the subject of
dancing.
Rev. Mr. Goetchius, said that ae he
understood it, ail ministers are opposed
to dancing, and preach against it.
Bat this is not tbe case, as there is no
dispute on thia subject. Now, I oensid -»
tbat thia is a concrete case of law. Th «.
be did not believe that tbs deliverano -
were law, and that, if they are law, the
proceedings aro irregular, and that the
oase does not come nader tho 139;b
question of the Cateobism, as there was
no evidence to prove that this dance was
lasoivions, therefore, ba wonld vote to
sustain the appeaL
Rev. Mr. Milner said that he believed
there was law, and wide spread law, for
this offense—that there was some one to
tell tbe session what wa9 law. Bat I am
afraid that the deliveranoes do not meet
the offense, though they are lawful. So,
though I cannot disapprove entirely the
action of the session, yet I cannot ap
prove the sentence.
Rev. Mr. Fitzsimmons said, “I will
vote to sustain Mr. Block's appeal, for I
don’t believe he is guilty of any offense
against the law of God and the church.
Mr. J. B. Morton and Mr. Simpson
were absent.
Rev. W. P. Grady—“I am obliged to
sustain Mr. Block’s appeal by my vote
purely on disciplinary grounds. The
whole sentiment of the chnrch is against
dancing and members should conform to
it. I ses nothing in this case to depart
from the chnrch; that there was no word
in such precipitate measures.
Dr. Irvine said, “I wish to say that I
do not approve of dancing and
know nothing of it personally.
I have no personal feeling in this matter
at all, knowing neither of the parties
personally. I have four reasons why I
ask the Synod to restore Mr. Block to his
offioo, or at least to the membership of
the church. First, I say that aa far as I
know, thie case is without precedent,
either in the churches of thisoouatry,
England, Ireland cr Canada. The hie-
• tory of these churches does not furnish
an instance of discipline on this subject.
Tbe only case adduced is the cose of John
Calvin, who imprisoned two persons for
dancing. Secondly, I ask that the Synod
sustain the appeal, on the ground that
there is no law for the case. I have
examined the digest of the church
of Scotland and during threo hun
dred years against the danoe, bnt
nothing appears on tha subject, and I
will say there is no tew in the Irisn
Chnrob. There is no tew in any chnrob
in America. The Doctor then went on to
prove bow ths deliverances were obtain
ed. What trouble the seekers after new
law found in the word “promiscuous,” a
word any school boy ooatd have defined
for them. [Laanhter.] The sentence is
nnlawfal. Will yoa imitate John Galvin
and have Mr. Bluok pilloried before tbe
world from this little thing down to the
Police Oaaelte t Yon will have tho honor
of setting „tbte precedent, oh excellent
Presbytery ot Atlanta! Dancing is not
laid down among tbe heinrns sins. The
Atlanta Presbytery could get no tew on
this subject, and tbey are now like tbo
counsellors ot Babylon. Daniel wee a
good man, and bad the confidence cf
the King and the Counsellors envied him,
and they, bis enemies, said: “We can
find nothing against him, except tbe tew
ef bis God.” So tbey went and got s
tew passed that for thirty days, no man
should pray to any God, save to thee, oh,
Kteg, to catoh Daniel. So the Atlenta
Presbytery wrote e circular letter to catoh
eome body, and they caught Mr. Block.
They toonsed him of two heinous sins,
one of having n danoe and causing others
to dance, and to ein. The whole process
waa irregular and illegal from beginning
to end. The rules of tbe chnrch have
been invoked, bnt to make the case good,
you most give an inatance of church ao-
tion ia anon ocies. Yoa mast have* a
Oatholio Block, a Baptist Block and ia
Black for every church that haa been
Blocked out here. [Laughter.]
M; next point is, tbat tbe sentence,
was unwarranted!; harsh and cruel
There ia no proof that the second count
of the indictment is true, it is not even
looked at, “That he caused others to
sin,” os it proved. I have two faults to
find with Mr. Block. He ought not to have
submitted to tbe eeesion, and he was not
contumacious enough, Mr. Moderator,
there are times when resistance is lawfnl.
Dr. Irvine here alluded to letters and
sermons of Dr. Leftwich.
Mr. Glisby—Were not these ruled out.
Dr. Irvine—If they were I will not
use them.
Dr. Nall, hero objected to the Doctor
saying that that the sermons were ridi
cule towards Mr. Block.
Dr. Irvine, “I eaid they looked aa if
their intention was to throw ridicule on
Mr. Block, and so they do.”
Several other members here interrupt
ed Dr. Irvine.
The Moderator—Why are these inter
ruptions? Wa have already been com
pelled to listen to the lsngaage of others,
whieh was most important, and why is
this speaker thu3 interrupted. [Ap
plause.]
Dr. Nall rose and said, if there was any
farther manifestation of applause on the
part of the audience be would move that
the church be cleared and the Synod sit
with close doom.
Moderator—“If the brother will make
the motion tha Moderator will put it.”
Mr. Fleming asked “if the applause
was proper in tbe house of God,” and
called upon tha Moderator to quell it.
The Moderator asked what could he do
further than bad been done.
Dr. Irvine then, after a few more re
marks, concluded, and the Synod ad
journed till 9 a. m. to-morrow.
ihe sentiment of those of the Synod
who have thns far Epoken, is six for
Block, three for Leftwich, and one doubt
ful. CanoLTNK.

Tbo undersigned has no hesitation in
asserting that in low latitudes, and espe
cially m those malarial district* m
southern and oaaterr Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida Where chills or d
fevers are almost universal in the fall
season, the judicious use cf Simmons*
Regulator, piepared by J H Zailin A Co*
os a preventive and tonic to the system,
will i*ecure comparative immunity from
weakening and dangerous influences. A
cloud of witnesses, numbering the best
and noblest of the land, will attest the
truth cf this remark. Th) Regulator
acts mildly upon the biliary ducts, is
free from mercury, and perfectly harm

Safa Medicine for Children,
Tour Regulator is superior to snj other ret
edy for malarial diseases ootong children, and it
has a large sole in this section of Georgia.
W M RUSSELL, Albany. Ga.
For children compla-ning of colic,
headache or sick stomach, a tewpoonful
or more will give relief. Children as well
as adults eat sometimes too much supper
or eat something which does not digest
welL producing sour stopaache, heart-
bum or resUevscoM. A good dose of Liver
Regulator will give relief. This applies
to persons of all ages. It is the cheapest,
parrot and beat family medicine in the
world.
