The Georgia Synod has at last dis- posfid of the evolution theory. By * vote of 60 to 21 it has decided th»t Dr. Woodrow must not teach it in Colum bia Seminary. That aettles it, aa far aa the Georgia division is concerned. It must occur to every one that a secular paper has nothing whatever to do with a church disturbance. On doc trinal points only the doctors should take the floor; but we respectfully sub mit, without taking sides in this mat ter, that the theory of evolution is pub lic property, and no public journal should stand tamely by and sco such property wantonly assailed. *The TsLEGRArn’a opinion is that the theory of evolution, now so universally popular as to almost preclude the fill ing of the Perkins professorship if it he barred, has not had a fair trial before the TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Tnx Galveston Newt says "Boothern Democrats are largely In favor of free trade.” That ia the kind of talk that gives Northern Democrats a great deal trouble. A Flobida explorer claim to have found the celebrated "volcano” of which so much has been written. It turns out to bo huge sulphur springs, and the sup- posed smoke Is merely sulphuric vapor.

One usual variety of matter ia pushed out o( our paper of tbla morning very full and satisfactory election reports, which an the best ever offered to the pub lic on any occasion in anr country. Much editorial comment is laid over by reason of this fact, and that our staff waa over whelmed a 1th pleadings from Atlanta ior lata and trustworthy nasra. Georgia Synod. The wrong aide haa been forced to furnish the evidence, and the jury that tried the case was not competent. Dr. Woodrow has either broken the laws of his church or he has not. If he has,why then he should tried upon specific charges. It should have been charged that in teach- _ the theory of evolution, he taught principles and instilled ideas inimical the Christian religion. It was his right to appear before a church court where form limits the methods of as sault and where every plan cf attack may he known in advance. As it is,he being hauled up before first one and then another wing of the church, sur rounded by antagonists and given but half a chance at best. Wo specify Dr. Woodrow, because at present he is the evolution theory. If he has not broken the laws of his faith, then no one beyond the direc tors of the seminary have power to in quire into his method of teaching science. This is a secular view; it is an out line of the impression made upon the ontside public. Tlie theory of evolution has enter tained and interested the brightest minds in tbe world for years. It is still the topic amongst controversialists. And it may be said that men who be lieve in and urge it are largely Chris tians. Prof. LeConte would scarcely pass for an infidel. If we mistake not his belief in evolntion is not only strong, but supplemented, as is Dr. Woodrow’s, by the belief that there perfect harmony between science and religion. LeConte has spent years, as have his great contemporaries, in arriving at his conclusions. Our friends of the Synod have finished in a week. Granting as we do that they are men of sense, and by reason of their profession and its necessary pre paration far above the avorage in in tellect, they are still incapacitated to pass upon the questions embraced in the theory of evolution. We confess to a feeling of disappointment at the result. It has occurred to us that the Georgia Synod might have said “Dr, Woodrow may teach evolntion so long as he teaches it in harmony with the Bibleor that they might have sub mitted the whole question to n select jury of the entire church with instruc tions to spend years if necessary in its investigation. What has been accomplished 7 Nothing. Dr. Clisby outlined tho fu ture when he said to the Synod: Formerly bt (Woodrow) said this theory of evolution Is probably (alto but tho word ol Ood is true. Now be lays thta theory U probably true but aaaln he says tbe word ol Cod fa true. Be was put there to do that very thins-to evioce the harmony between sci ence and tbi word ol God.

To oa down here who are merely lookers on at a great and heated content, it means little and will pass for nothing, but over the whole North, East and West it will be worked for all and a great deal more than it is worth. If a little blood-letting was necessary in Louisiana, it should have occurred much earlier in tbe campaign or have been postponed until after the election. Thirgt political are represented not to be in the best possible condition in Louisiana. The unwise agitation of tho tariff at the last session of Con gress, and the foolish speeches then and there delivered, have made so profound an impression upon that State that she lias taken steps to change her Congressional representation. It is held by many that the result of tho pending election will be exceed ingly close. There are the usual ru mors of bribery, fraud, intimidation and ctfttttptiatt. Some hold that there is likely to bt trouble about the elec toral votes of some of tho States. It will be remembered that the vote of Louisiana has been once stolen. We mention these things, not that we lay any great stress upon them, but to call attention to the possibilities that might follow a bloody outbreak. The bloody shirt is not a myth in Louisiana. This circumstance will be brought to the attention of voters in a way not to its advantage. If those who have figure out a close and doubtiul election arc correct, this accident may exert a powerful influ ence, and wo regret it. Bill Jones, who was equally guilty with Mason, has just been tried by a civil tribunal and acquitted. We give this summary of the trial, taken from the Washington Star: To-day In the Criminal Court, Judge Wylie, the case of William Jones, Indicted November 26th, 1881, for an aasault and battery with In tent to kill Charles J. Gultcau on the 19th of the same month, waa taken up and tried—Mr. Coyle prosecuting and Messrs. R. K. Elliot and R. Ross Perry for the defendant, it was testified by James Leonard, former driver of tho van; Perry n. Carton, Jorrat r officer of the van; Dr. McWlllUm*. Mr. McGuiganand others that during the trial of Gulteau for the murder of President Garfield Jones followed the van to the comer of First and East Capitol streets and then fired one shot into the van ; which perforated the side and passed through the left sleeve of Guite%o'i e^at, Just grasing his arm. Officer Black testified to the arrest. James P. VlcTcc-r, of Wythevllle, Va., testified tbat he heard a man in the mornlug say; if I can weed him out of there, I'll end. tbe trial;” in the afternoon saw a man qb sorrel mare, and saw him gallop r.ftcr the van; the prisoner looked like the non. For the defense John J.

It comes jost aa the public mind ia inflamed and aiotued to the highest pitch of ex- v - clinical Caucasian. Emory Edwards, a consulting engi' ncer of Baltimore, and author of s number of atandard works on steam en gine*, wrote to the Baltimore Sun as follows; -Of late years much has been said aboutthe cheap labor and laborers of Europe, affl of the necessity of protecting our owl working people from the competition of such by a high tariff orslmllsr means. Eitcnsivetravel every countiy of Europe whllo attached to the Bulled States navy In an official capacity, and aclosa observation ot their methods of manufacture, convinced me that it la the skilled labor alone that is driving onr manu facturers and mechanics to tho wall. In spite tariffs—high or low. Now, this skilled la- hot of theirs Is due almost, If not entirely, to tho excellent technical school* established and generously maintained by the different natlona. In these school* training of tho eye and band receives equal attention, and thus tils that their workmen arc Cited to com mand the market of tho world. These marks have been called forth by the gratlCca lion derives from a visit made to the manual training school of this city. Hero It was manifest to me that we have the gfrm of o -e ot the best technical schools' In tho world. Though yet In Its Infancy, tho practiced eye can see clearly and appreciate folly the marked progress that has been made even In the short time It haa been In operation; and It the cltDens of llaltlmoro could aee a frac tion of tha good that must necessarily accrue to them and theirs, they would, aa prudent in vestors, lay broad and drep, by libera' appro priations, the foundation of an Institution which will confer Its blessings upon succes sive generations as they arise. Commenting en the above the Memphis Avalanche says: We print elsewhere from the Baltimore Son some hard common sense observatl-ns about technical education and tcchlnal schools. It Is assigned as a reason why Americans wbo lead the world tn skill are In due course and according to the law ot compensation, falling off, that European! are teaming anew in technical schools. If they are not absolutely falling In skill tbe opinion la expressed that they are relatively declining. Tbla Is doe to tho advance of Eu rope In technical edncatlon and the growth of technical schools. As n matter ot fact American workingmen *r* dally growing tn skill, hot relatively they are toeing pace be cause of foreign prosresa. However this may he. there la no doubt that tbe crying need of this country to techni cal edncatlon and acbeoto of the arts and io- dustrtes. In this respect the Southern states, tnraany o< those things which promise a great progress, ahead ofalltheworld.are behind the whole world.

These are good, bnt they are crowded, and the true prizes are to be fuund In the industrial walks. To this end—to be eought but not waited for te hnieal and 'ndustrlst schools ere one of out chief educational needs. The Tilxurapii, in bringing this sub ject before the people of Georgia three yearn since, abowtel the importance technical education to onr laboring people. To compete with the cheap labor of Europe is impossible, if we desire to preserve the high standing labor in this country; but when we consider that tho cheap labor across the water haa the benefit of technic education and inherited tendencies, D easy to see the dirndvantage under which we are placed. Every country may imports common labor. Its skilled labor can only obtained by education. Skilled labor does not emigrate to any large extent. The subject ia now squarely before tho people of Georgia. The joflmala have dealt with its every aspect. The Legislature has beard it diecuued well posted men. Its committee haa visited the workshops of the North and has accumulated much valuable infor mation in respect to methods and salts. There is nowhere in the State opposition to a movement in favor of technical edncatlon. Let the law-ma kers provide means by which itabli Inga may be conferred npon the people. Mrs. Vlratnia Kerch testified that she was In a carriage near the north wing of the Capi tol when the vau passed; saw the man on a hone, and the prisoner d Id not resemble tbe mao. TV. R. McCheaney testified to the good repu tation of Jones. Thts closed the testimony, end the counsel argued the cue. The jury, after an absence ol twenty min utes. found a verdict of not guilty. The verdict of the jury is only equaled by the neglect of the officers of the law to put Bill Jones on trial at earlier date. The verdict must stand a'ongside e in the star route cases and em phasizes the suggestion of Attorney- General Brewster, that ail criminal cases be hereatter tried at any point in District of Columbia, but Wasbing- City. No matter how the people may have felt towards the madman who murdered Garfield, Guiteau, so long as he was in the hands of the law was entitled to its full protection. So long as he wasa citizen deemed worthy trial, the law conld b» out raged in his person. There was no excase for Bill Jones, but bad as he may be he is a better and safer citizen than any of the jury that have acquitted him. A community that is afflicted with citizens so regardless of their duties is a dangerone condition, and the heat to be hoped is that the discharged desperado may effectually use his pis tol on the men who have issued to him and otiiers a license to murder - ... i Why Death Ensued, lances, and aa the representatives of many .. „ governments.
