Where there is no law there is no penalty. He would vote for the apjK*al, because the whole mat ter ha# lK*en hasty, precipitate and irregular. The case has had a very had effect on the Central church, and on this ground he would ote for tlie apj>cal.

Then we will run the ploughshare through all the httrehes in the land. In nearly every ???litirch there is dancing. There is dancing n my church, and without sin, too. I am unwilling to adoj??t any princijde which will bring snen ruin to the churches. Dancing < not a sin. If it were I would not sjteak do. I shall vote to sustain the ajtpeal. Rev. A. G. Johnson said: ???I have lieen cry much astonished at my brethren i this case. For the first time in my life have heard brethren advocatingsocial danc ing. It is said there is no instance where dancing has been treated in our church as it has been in this case. There have lieen many cases. Somewhere the j*arties hav been turned out of the church. The seasioi had been denounced as cruel and had lieen likened to Mohammed with the Bible in one hand ami the sword the other. This is not the i They are good, tender-hearted men. I believe that the deliverances against (lanc ing are law and are constitutional. tSome of the brethren seemed to be advocating ??lancing. Such is the imjiressiou in the city, and it is going all over tlie state. We i a critical |K>int; we have the issue liefc and we must decide for or against dancing. surprised to hear the statement that there is no sin in dancing.??? The Moderator??????I merely interrupt y to jirove that there is, in rejily to the argu ment, if you Mr. Johnson???I will. ???We must keeji the law in every tittle. Mr. Block^admits that he liad a dance in his house, and the circum stances are such tliat we cannot say that this is in keejiing with the law in every jwr- ticular. Would any brother here allow his children to dance Saturday night and then go up and jireach Sunday? 1 am sorry some of tne brethren allow their children dance.??? The Moderator??????This is not pertinent the question. I call the brother to order.??? Mr. Johnson??????I must vote to sustain tlie session, and I wish I had twenty votes cast. I want it written in big letters on t record.??? Rev. T. C. Crawford next spoke. Said he All these remarks tend to make my mind tnort confused. Wc don't understand our constitution or our deliverances. We want rest for our mimls and hearts. The session not only had a right.but were bound to take this case in hand. It was their plain duty, am somewhat troubled about the jienalty. t is severe, but I do not think it more severe than the case required. As lo wit nesses, I do not think there was need of more. Mr. Block defended himself ably, and had full justice accorded him.. Mv feelings are with the susjiended individual, but ray judgment is with the session.??? Rev. S. EL Axson, of Rome, said: ???Mr. Johnson is afraid of tlie world. The Pres byterian church has very little to do with the world, except to convert it. We are not accountable to world. I have as little resjiect for the world as for anything in the world. We cannot obev every jot and tittle of the law, and if this is the condition of salvation there is no chance for me or for brother Johnson, for neither of ushave kept the law that fur. I have reached a conclusion obscured by a shadow of doubt. It is the design of the church to leave each mem her to be a law unto himself on such a mat ter as the dance. The church has taken jiosition on this subject. The deliverances pronounce dancing to be an offense and discijilinable offense, too, under some cumstances. The church has usurped authority in thus declaring the law. seems to me a correct interpretation. These deliverances are binding when they are consonant with the Word of God. These injunctions do not bind us to proceed judi cially in every case of disobedience. There are some which we must not discipline ??? arraignment. The idea of disciplining ev offense of dancing, makes tlie sin consi: in the act of dancing and no intelligent gent Presbyterian will maintain that. Then we must arraign every church member who dances. Set such a precedent as this and it will be followed, for it will not have tlies: tion of general opinion in the church. Look how divines differ or^it. I will not do by a vote what the united wisdom of the church has always refused to do???make dancixig sin |*er se.??? . Mr. Newton??????No one, so far as I know has contended tliat dancing is a sin perse. Mr. Axson??????I thank the brother f* statement. It is asked what is the i deliverances if they a*re not to he used dicially. I answer that they give tuense moral force to our doctrine subject. We need a reformation opinions of our jieople on the dance, and thus help us to bring it about. But 1 can not deny the right of the session to jiroceed judicially iu this case. Mr. Bl*K*k did wrong. The onlv question is, did that ses sion proceed judiciously? I fid they make a just application of the whole law to the case? The whole question turns on the cir cumstances of the case. The dance at his house lias been called corrupt, flagitious and an enormous sin. Such epithets come from the imagination. But we must remember that Mr. Block was an officer as well a- a member of the church/ We must remember that mentality of saving souls???? Mr. Axson??????The Presbyterian church is not a dancing church, and there need be no fears of its ever being so.??? Rev. T. EL Smith next spoke, saying: ???I shall vote to sustain the apjieal in part, as the penalty is too severe. Otherwise, I shall vote to sustain the lower courts. It is the sound policy of higher courts to be slow to reverse the decisions of lower courts, for they have the best opportunities of preach ing the truth. * We have a right vested in sessions to liandle members for any offense, ??lancing included. The session in*this case thought it had a right to proceed judicious ly, and it did 90. Tlie proceedings were regular. Mr. Block's appearing and plead ing were a recognition of the tight of the court to proceed as it did in his case. In the dance as an act there can be no sin. Says St. Paul, nothing is unclean of itself. The attending circumstances make the sin. Tiie law of blendings makes it very bad to find just where dancing ceases to??be harm less and becomes sinful. No definition of orldly amusements has been given, and no tatute can define them, and there can be statute law on the subject. The conse quences of this case on the church are not Ik* employed as an argument against the ???nstitutionality of the session???s action, 'e tuust look to the animus in the case and learn it from the facts in the case. The purpose of diseijiline is the glory of God. We are too apt to think of its punitive -haracter. It is fraught with blessing, and just as good in its place as any other means given to us. We are bound *to dis- pline offenders.??? Rev. W. A. Milner next spoke as follows I am not here to make you laugh, or to make you mad, or to make you glad. I am here to discharge a duty in the jiresettce of the synod and those who honor us with their ???resence. I do not disajiprove of dancing, made a top dance for some children. There dancing of shadows on the ocean???s waving, .unatics sometimes dance in asylums. Dancing, abstractly, I do not disapprove of. Dancing is not in violation of God???s holy law. T do disapprove of the modern social dance???that fashionable, fascinating amuse ment???for that is in violation of God???s law. The modem social dance is evil. The hristian consensus is surely against it, and jircsumption that i*t is sinful. All agent that lies outside of I alu \ defend tlie dance. God has created us under law.

All the devil {teople approve, while a very few disapprove *t. The uance comes under our definition f offenses. The deliverances on dancing no new law. They merely reaffirm an Id law. They tried the dance by the Bible and pronounced it evil. Three times they have said God???s law forbids it. The consti tution and Bible are against the dance. The Bible tells us to shun the very aj*j>earance f evil. The consensus of the world is that there is a divine law against dancing. Dr. Woodrow says that the social dance, in best iciety, is not evil. He is not a comjtetent fitness, for lie says he has not been to these dances. Dr. Woodrow here said he had been fre- juently misrepresented, but would not at- tciujtt to correct the numerous mistakes relative to his sj*eech. Mr. Milner continued his argument : ???There must be a law somewhere on subject. Brother Block himself say does not apj??rove of round dances on gen eral principles. If .there is no wrong in dancing, why would even dancing Chris- object to seeing preachers dance? The session, acting in accordance with the law, usjKfiided brother Block from he communion of the church. He aj??jH*aled to the presbytery and the pres bytery sustained tlie session. He now conies to the synod with liis aj??j>eal. I have been shocked at the manner in which these lower liave been ridiculed and characterized, it lias been said that they were tyrannical and that they snarled; that a court ol i???hrist jdayed tlie dog.

They are entirely oj??]??ised to the jtroprieties the gosjiel and should he discouraged bv jirojier means. In all churches that I fu. served during fifty-four years, there has been difficulty on this subject. Mr. Block did wrong, and the session was right in attemji ing discipline. I shall, however, vote sustain the apjteal for the irregularitv of t proceedings and the severity of the sen tence.??? The sjieakcr was asked if he had ever known any such instances of discipline as this. He said none of tlie same character, 'reaching and exhortation, lie said, are j*roj*er methods. Rev. J. C. Grow said: ???The synod must affirm the sentence of the session or it must discipline the presbytery anti the session. We liave no evidence that Mr. Block rountged the dancing. He says he did approve tlie round dancing. All things evil hi themselves are forbidden by the Word of God, either by the letter or by necessary inference. There are many offenses which can be j??roj*erly brought fore our session and adjudicated. The assembly lias said, that the session should he the judges of 'each offense, and the discijdine that should apply. He admits the offense liefore the session, and this evi dence is dhnjdete.

The closing religious exercises were sol emn and impressive. The following is the finding of the com mittee appointed in the Block case. The committee appointed to rejtort a paper expressing the opinion of the synod in tlie case of the appeal before it beg leave to re- |K>rt, recommending that the following he adojtted as the decision of the synod in the case of the appeal of Mr. Frank E. Block from the decision of the presbytery of At lanta confirming tlie sentenseof the ses- n of the Atlanta Central church by which ___ was susjtcnded from the privileges of church membership: I. That laws exist in onr constitution ..Inch are applicable to all offenses, includ ing under that term, popular amusements of all kinds when these arc in their own nature sinful, or from attendant circum stances become so. II. That when common fame charged Mr. , . . E. Block, a deacon of the Atlanta Cen tral church, with having violated a law of the church in connection with dancing, it us tlie duty of the session of said church ... investigate this charge, in obedience to tlie commands of the general assembly, as contained in its deliverances made in an swer to overtures of Drs. Ross ami Dabney and the presbvterv of Atlanta, in the year 1865, 1869 and 187*. III. Tliat the jtroceedings of said session i conducting the trial to which this inves tigation led were irregular. ^ 1. In failing to ipeoify with sufficient particularity in the liarge what law of the church had been . iolated. 2. In failing to observe, the re- juirements of the .Book of Discijdine, in chaj*ter4, section5. 3. In including in the sentence sj*ccifications of offenses not set 'i??rth in the charge. IV. That the decision of tlie said session ???t sustained by the evidence. V. Therefore, on these grounds, the synod verses the decision of tlie presbytery of Atlanta in this ease, and the sentence j??ro- mneed tijKtu Mr. V. K. Bl??*ck by the ses- of the Atlanta Central church; and it restores Mr. Block to the j??rivileges of ciiurch niemltershij*. NOTES. Elder J. P.

The a|tjK*al or complaint g??>es to the general as sembly of the Southern Presbyterian church, the highest court of that denomination. The assembly will meet in liOttisville on the third Thursday of next May. The ImkIv isc comjKtsed of about one hundred and fifty members. There are sixty-tliree presbyteries in the church, and each of these is entitled to lie represented by one clergyman and one elder. If rfhe membership of a presbytery exceed twenty-five, then it is entitled to two cler gymen and two ciders in the assembly. The general assembly is one of the m??*st august -hureli tribunals that assembles iu this ???uiitry. It is composed of tlie liest talent a church noted tor its able and Godly men.

It is charged that Mr. Block exhibited no signs of rejientauce. He could not repent for that which he regarded a# no sin. It is said he justified his sin. No; he simply defended himself, as he had a right to do. Contumacv is charged, but there is no proof to substantiate it. and Mr. Block distinctly denies it, and says he i??* inraj*ableof con tempt fur the authority of the church.

The discussion of the unfinished business was continued. Rev. A. V.Clisby, D. D., sj*oke as follows. ???With my jiresent views???and I am subject to conviction to the last moment???but i ??? ??? my jiresent light 1 shall vote to sustain ajqieal in jiart. In jiart I shall vote to tain the session. There was an offense com mitted. and the ajijiellant, with a knowledge of all the deliverances on this subject, did that which they discountenanced. Thus far I shall vote against tlie apjieal. In their jirojier sjihere, and only there, the deliver ances of our church are binding. 1 shall vote to sustain fully the ajijieal in that jiart in which it denies any sin, and also denies that deliverances may be elevated to be stat ute laws. 1 deny that there is any sin what ever in social dancing, iu itself considered. The very idea is prejmsterous. We cannot, ah Dr. Hodge says, make such things sub jects of statute .prohibition, for in the very act we would violate the Word of God, which forbids us to add one word to it. The church can make no specific law where God has made no specific law. There is hut one law. Many of these ca#es are reserved bv God for tlie great final ajijiellate court. We are too weak and imperfect to handle them. We may always admonish an erring hrother, but must we bring uji for our adjudication all these offenses? Where there is no precejit and no law there can he no punish ment. Much confusion is cau>ed by con fusion of the word# evil aud sin. The modern dance is evil. Who shall say it is always sinful? Could we find a church court that would so sav, we should have a duty to jier- form toward that court???to try it for heresy by regular and proper methods. ???It is feared that our only danger is not in interpreting with sufficient strictness the Worn of God on worldly amusements. The greater danger is that we areexjiosedto the greatest crime known to human or deviue law, namely, the usurj*ation of our King???s authority. I had rather stand before his bar cliarged with the violation of every one of his laws than with this one crime. The thought makes me shudder. The brethren say we are not making law???we are only in terpreting law. This was said by the Jewish rulers who headed the jieople in ajiostacy. In every ca??e of apostacy this has been the plea. It is better to err on the side of bteak- uigthe law than to err on the side of adding to God???s holy law. The greatest of all crimes is treason, a*nd the very essence of treason is the assuming the power to make laws for ourselves. I resjiect the deliverances, but when we differ from them in our hearts it is our duty to resist them. ???I do not hesitate here to declare that I consider the deliverance at New Orleans a most ill-judged answer to ill-judged questions. Yet I am hound by it as an admonition until it is rej*ealed. am willing to lie re-ponsible for tli utterance here or elsewhere. If ti side of this question which we rejircse .t i# time and again defeated; if by no apjieal we can gain what we deem our rights, I give notice, and I pledge myself to carry it out fully, tliat I will join with any brethren of my own or any other presbytery, to call a convention and take measures to secede from the Presbyterian church and organize a church which shall preserve God???s own law as he has handed it down to us. I pledge mvself to do this. While the brethren are lurking the danger on the other side, they may well look to the danger on this side also.??? Rev. J. H. Nall, D.D., next spoke, say ???This is not a legislature. It is a court, sit here as judges and met as advocates. \V?? Night Nessioa.

UNDER THE WEATHER. The Lew Price er Cotton and What It Mean* and Hew It will last. For some days j*a#t our merchants and farmers have been disturbed at the low prices of cotton. The fall in the price has made farmers dubious about bringing in their cotton, and the receipts arc small. In addition to this, it is said that at the j*resent figures, the farmer realizes so litte on his cotton that he has no ???sjiending money.??? and must con tent himself with buying only tlie neces saries of life. WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF XT? That is the question that a Constitution rejiorter jiut to Judge 8trong, the veteran buyer of the citv. ???In the first jiface,??? he said, ???it is because of the disturbances, financial and jiolitical, in EmUixijkl The failure of the Glasgow tiank and the tienewalof the Uusso-Turkish troubles liave put the jiriee down.??? ???What do you think of the future ten dency of |iriccs???? ???It is hard to tell. No man has made up liis mind yet. Everything is uncertain. I do- not look, however, for any reliable advice. There may lie little ujiwanl spurts, but they will not amount to anything. If weshould! have a war in Ehirojie, which I do not expect, there is no telling where jiriccs will go to. I should sell if I were a farmer.??? A QUESTION OF FREIGHTS. ???Another reason for the low price here; and tlie falling off in our receijit*, is that tlie- railroad pool has ruined us on the freight tariff. With our freights of last year we were able to pmceutrate cotton here. We can not do this now. The small towns that have heretofore sliipjied to us can now shij?? to New York just a# clieaji as wc can. Of course eveiything added to freights comes off of the price of cotton. Last year we had a rate of 50 and 00 cents a hundred. This year we jay 86 rents. This is an cnonnous and offensive tariff, hut tlie jxjol has set the j??aiterii and the roads all seem disjKised to st : ck to it." t oiouel Bedell agreed with Judge Strong, and was even more )siinted on the subject of freights. ???The pool,??? he says, ???has de- prived us of tlie legitimate * benefit we should have from our com j>cting roads. We have four lines to New York, and yet the rates are fixed just as arbitrarily as if we only had one line. I understand that Selma and Montgomery liave a rate of 50 cents to New York, while wc jiay 85 cents. Of course this gives them an im mense advantage over us. Why, Rome and Athens can each one ship to New York cheajier than Atlanta can. This is? of course, altogether wrong. It costs us now as much to ship to Savannah a# it used to- cost us to shiji to New York. Unless v a fair showing on freights our receipts will go down 25,000 or 50,000 hales. _ A quarter ??? of a cent on cotton wjll control it.???
