The moderator read the rule. lie read from the digest to prove that he was correct. The sentence was too heavy for only one office in a matter where there wide difference of opinion as to its rectitude; and offense again the charges against Mr. Block have not been fuUy substantiated. He read several ca-es which the general as sembly had reversed, even where the offense was greater than Mr. Block???s and the pun ishiuent the same. The proper way to nave met this case was by kindness, and not by severity. Rev. H. Quigg, of Conyers, gave in a brie and |*ointed manner his reasons for voting in the presbytery to sustain the api*eal of Mr. Block, lie thought Mr. Block had been rudely treated, and had not been dealt with the spirit of the Christiaq religion. Dr. Leftwich asked if lie had a right to correct a misrepresentation. The Moderator???^"Yes, sir.???

Mr. McConnell??????I would ask whether not we are confined to the record? The Mmlerator???"Certainly, sir.??? Mr. Quigg then concluded his remarks.

We- Anderson and Sypher went to Wash ington City. Weber declined to testify for over two weeks, giving as a reason that the democratic inailagers whom he named would pay him the sum he demanded. On 27tn of June Weber informed A*nderson that "satisfactory arrangements" had been made, and he was ready to testifv, which he the 2d of July. * Weber then showed Anderson a letter received by him (Ander- ) and D.

Mr. Bradshaw, of Covington, gave lii: reasons for supporting the action of l -ion and for voting against the npj*ellant. He said the action of the session could not lie reversed until ita powers were changed. It acted in pursuance of its definite duty. Rev. Mr. McMurrav, of laiGrange, spoke in suppor.1 of the action of the session s' cinctly, giving his reasons for his vote the presbytery.

Mr. McConnell rose and said???"At the proper time I will call the attention of the synod to the gratuitous insult which has been offered to me on this floor by a mem ber of this synod???Mr. Clisby. I shall speak of this matter hereafter.?????? Colonel Anderson here continued his ar gument after the little tempest was past. lie argued that Mr. Block, a model gen tleman and a good member, had been dealt with in a most rash and rude manner. Is there any reason for such a summary pro ceeding? It is inconsistent with the spirit of our confession of faith and of the Scrip tures themselves. I^t me soothe the troubled feelings of this b*??dy by reading from the word of God. It lias* not been read from yet. Colonel Anderson read from the 14th chapter of Paul's epistle to the Ro- He said this chapter laid down the true Christian rule for such a vase as this. The spirit of this teaching is that a man who does not dance has no right to judge of one who does. Who can say that God has cast off this brother? And are we holier than God? Can we say that God has barred against him the gates of heaven? How- dare we to bar against him the doors of this earthly temple? There has been too much him. Cast him not down. St. Paul "1 know and am j??ersuaded by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself." Weigh these words. There is a world of meaning in. them. The kingdom of God is not meat and drink. It is righteousness and jieaoe. We dare not erect a different standard from what Christ has raised. We want oeaoe. But there can be no peace when this Presbyterian church goes forth like Mohammed with the Bible in one hand and the sword in the other. The general assembly says all dancing is evil. Paul says the same of eating meat. But he does not say that for eating meat one mav be summarily taken before the church and turned out. 8nch is not the spirit of the Scriptures. If we enforce the law of God we must reverse the action of the presby tery and the session. How very small"a matter is this which has occupied so much attention. Mr. Block had an entertainment at his home on the 27th of December. He invited a few j*articular friends to meet a sister from a distant state. There was a dance on the oecation. Only two couples waltzed. The record d-x-s not say who waltzed. There is no evidence that the sexes waltzed together. Is there anything wrong in a couple ot ladies waltzing together? It was said last night that all round dancing is lascivious. Is it lascivious for two ladies to dance together? Pr. Leftwich here called the speaker to order, saying that he was out of the reoord. If Mr. Block will say that the sexes did not dance together he would withdraw that ele ment in the case. Colonel Anderson continued???There is no proof that there was any promiscuous dan cing in this house. They simply hear that there wa* dancing, and they at oncefiiandle Mr. Block without waiting to hear all about it. How insufficient is the evidence to sup port this action* And they take his de fense for contumacv and contempt. Neman is to be condemned without a hearing, and for contumacy he could not be condemned without a citation to answer to the charge of contumacy. Dr. Leftwich, interrupting the sjieaker, ???aid that such was not the law. Colonel Anderson???"I cannot give way for half a dozen speeches.??? Pr. Leftwich???"1 am not making a half dozen speeches." Colonel Anderson continued his argu* ment on Mr. Block's defense Mr. Block claims that the deliverances of the general assembly on dancing are not law for the gen eral assembly would not dare to add to the word of Gt*d. and for this he is accused of contempt for theceneral assembly. He dis claims responsibility for the dancing and says he heartily disapproved it. and yet. he is condemned. Tlrs is not the spirit of Christ cr of the church. We must have charitv. If you sanction such proceedings yon will deal a blow at our church from which she may not soon recover. Dancing belongs to that class of offenses to which SL Paul refers along with eating p^at and drinking wine. It never was de- After no The synod met at 3 o???chick in the after noon. and, in spite of the jtouring rain, there was a very large attendance of visitors. The body was called to order by Pr. Baker, the moderator. The committee on foreign missions submitted a rej??ort recommending increased interest in the missionary field It was received and adopted. Mr. S. D. McConnell asked the attention of synod to a question of privilege. He said???: " While interrupting the counsel for the appellant on a point of constitutional privilege, a member of the synod???Dr. Clis- [>v???characterized the act as indecent. To allow him full opportunity to exjdain, 1 asked him if he meant to characterize mv act as indecent. He said he did so intend. I said this morning that at the proper time I would call the attention of the svnod to this Jinatter, ami I now do If I have violated any rule of this house I am ready to apologize to the synod. But this insult has been east uj*on me and it has pained me deeply. I learn that the brother retracted the offensive word soon after its utterance, but I did not hear it and uinny of the svnod did not hear it. I now give the brother an opportunity to explain his remark and hope lie will do Pr. Clisby n*se and said: "In using the word indecent, I was called to order. At once I ajMilogized to the svnod as I was bound to do. As to the brother. I did not mean the won! in its gross significance, hut in its Scr" and I still thin! sense. I intended not in any way to reflect on the brother personally." Mr. McConnell???I cheerfully accept the brother???s explanation as he meant nothing offensive tu me. COLONEL ANUKHSOX COXTXXVES. The unfinished business was then taken up ami Colonel Anderson resumed his re marks. He said he would notice only a few more points in the already prolonged discussion. Even John Calvin may be brought forward as a witness against this prosecution John Calvin, the only man who has set a precedent for such action ??? even John Calvin is on the record against discipline a case like this. He read from Dr. Adger an exposition of Calvin???s views on the sub ject. Calvin s??vs we must not attempt carry discipline where the disease is widespread that the sympathies of the peo ple are not with us. If Calvin fails the prosecution, whither will they g* more attention be given to preach less to discipline, and we shall have a better church. Pr. Adger call* preaching the effective weapon of a gracious ministry It must be apparent then that there is m law in the Bible that authorize* this prose cution. It is apparent that all the leading lights of our church agree that this is not a case for discipline. Pr. Adger uses the very wonts. Not only ha\e the proceedings been irregular and rash??? Mr. McConnell???"I call the speaker order; he is outride of the record.'??? Colonel Anderson???"1 wish I had the i c??nl; I am tired of bearing that.??? Mr. McConnell???"So am I." Colonel Anderson???"No doubt you are Here Colonel Anderson read the appeal prove that the session acted hastily in si K tiding Mr. Block.

It is charged that he refused to be examined before the ?? Colonel Anderson, in alluding to t manner in which Mr. Block was examined, was called to order as being outride the record. Colonel Anderson.???All rieht! But it in the record that he was disagreeably i terrogated, and that a minister told him he need not answer the question. The whole examination was irregular and our book does not allow it. , But Mr. Block is also charged with con tumacy. The book defines contumacy as refusing to appear when summoned before the court. He did not fail to appear. T was made a witness against himself, and this meagre evidence he was suspended. The whole trouble seems to be that Mr. Block will not come on bended knees to the majority of the session and say, "I am wrong and you are right.??? There is a (Treat principle involved in this OO the watch-towers to guard thea???.. . . Martin, of Atlanta, next being called on responed by reading his retnar??? made at the presbytery where lie voted sustain Mr. Block???s apjieal. His reasons were strongly put and plainly expressed.

Frazer, of Decatur, expressed the reasons why he voted to sustain Mr. Block's appeal. There is nothing in the church standards against dancing. He said the dictment itself was too weak to stand, and the session should have quashed it said the whole proceedings were irregular, and the sentence quite beyond the law. Mr. Frazer continued, when Dr. Irvine asked, "How many reasons have you Mr. Frazer???"Three or four.??? Dr. Irvine???"Ah, well, let us have them then.??? [Laughter.] Mr. Frazer continued his remarks, tacking the authority of the church to bind any man???s conscience. You can talk your church courts, but the people considered, too. The courts are for the peo ple, and without their consent there is church power on earth. Mr. Fleming???"Mr. Moderator, I do object to the longitude allowed the sjieaker. but I do object to such latitude as he ha* " Mr. Frazer???"Yes, sir." [I-au liter.] Several members here asked Mr. Frazer confine his remarks to the reasons which fluenced him before he voted in the pre tery. Said one, ???Give the reasons tor faith that is in you." Mr. Frazer???That???s just what lam doing Mr. Frazer continued. Pr.

Several members here called Mr. Frazer to order, and said he was taking too wide vauge. Mr. Frazer??????Well, then,I take it all back. I wish I hadn???t said it.??? He then completed his remarks. Rev. J. L. Rogers, of Atlanta, briefly gave his reasons for voting to sustain the api*eal. The case was novel and the precedent dangerous. An old dead-letter law ceived in this case. At the conclusion of Mr. Roger' remarks, synod adjourned to 0 o'clock to-day. A Wreck of the Ring. New York Letter in Washington Post. Mary K. Hoag was a beautiful daughter of a sister of Thomas C.

Ky..c Saturday, Nov. 30,1878 fO POSTPONEMENT! $315400 in Cash! HINTS GROCERS. it IS POOR POLICY For any retail merchant to sell inferior goods because lie can make more money on them. Ijj-trad of trying to find the cheapest that can be bought,he should always select THE BEST In the market. We know of no business anywhere, in the city or country, that would not sooner become permanently established, and in the long pay better, by handling only fair and honest good*. To W Mire, custom may for & while tie allured !>/ low prices into the purchase of inferior and adulterated articles; r even take up with short weight and other swindling; but time rights all these things,and nothing is more certain than tliat HONESTY IS THEBEST POLICY MEN DO BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEYS Ths surest way to accomplish this is to build up a permaaeat trade. This can not lie successfully done , if inferior pods are soil ??? It is only by keeping the l*st articl t of thcli kind, even if they do not pay the largest immeduue proCt, that a permanent business is built up. Keep the best soap, the best starch, the best spices, the best baking powder, and so on through, the whole li.-t. We have known a grocer to lose a customer whose trade was worth a hundred and fifty dollars a year clear profit to him, Ju-t because he would not supply a baking powder ll.at v.aa demanded by the Itti Hade. SEA ??OAM Will firawiora trafeto your Store taaajoteiEtMiiii tie Grocery Line. It la a first-class article, wl???l ??lo all claim for it, and never fails to work AVELI.. It is a credit to any merchant s sfix-k, and is one of the few good things he can confidently recommend to every customer. It will sell itself after one trial. f>*r its great merits are soon appreciated. And not only so, but one lady using it will tell others of the wonderful properties of Sea Foam, and where it can be purchased, and so the tide of trade will gradually but surely set towa:d the enterpris ing grocer who keeps it in stock. Actually, the ladies of Georgia where Sea Foam Ires been introduced, arc noted for making better bread, biscuit, com cakes, and other cookery than can be found anywhere el.*e. and they give Sea Foam fV trrdu, ari l won't use any other baking preparation. And it it nU to be viju-l: iv i c???., ntlur, for Sea Foam NEVER FAILS TO MAKE GOOD BREAD when used according to directions.^ More than half the complaints fTad P.our arise from tbe useof common baking powders, which not infrequently make the best of flour turn out dark bread.
