Dr. Woodfonr Must Quit the Theological Seminary. COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. The report of the Committee upon Theolog leal Seminaries was then taken up at ihc point where it *vas left off the night before, upon the following section of the report: "Columbia Seminary-^-A v6ry brief repori from ^he Board of Directors In this Institution Alls us with sorrow and amazement. It telle us this beloved seminary, with its asseU ^mounting to?270.000 and the annual cash in com'fe of. S11.7&1, closes this term wl#h only eleyen students, and that Ave of these are in llie Senior class, leaving only sfrt afs the pros pcct for next yeur. it ieus us mrmcr twenty-two students matriculated; that Dr. Woodrow resumed his duties as the Perklus Professor about the middle of last December; that eleven students were dismissed, aud that Dr Girardeau has resigned. "Therefore, in view of these facts, especially the small number of students and the large amount expended in training them', your cominlttee recommend the following: "Resolved; That this Assembly recommend the lour Synods controlling this Seminary, to suspend It for the present, and until the Providence of God shall indicate that it should be opened again de novo." Dr. Woodrow spoke in opposition to the report, saying the Inferences to be drawn from it were unwarranted and unfair. The statement is made In such connection as to convey the Idea that 811,000 was the expense of the Seminary lastyfear, which is not true. Again the impression Is cr/^ted that Dr. Girardeau resigned upon my resuming ray duIn thfi Perkins DrofessorShlp; this also Is not true. Again it Is alleged that been use t here are so few scholars, the seminary should be closed. Was there evqr such an argument; Before this there has been a smaller member; sblp of students in attendance, but it never was considered a reason for closing the semi' nary. Rev. It K. Mosely, of Texas, offered the following amendment.: "We roeommead that the Synods in charge speedily take such steps as in their Judgment trill be best designed to restore the seminary Lo the confidence of the church." Rev. J. A. Preston?The way for the Presbyterian Church tQ reach this matter is not tc abolish th$ chair. but the professor* Qo and put your lund upon the man, whoever h< may be, ttiat is standing in . the ,way of tht success of the Institution And soy; "Sir, you inustgelout." 1 am not afraid to have sc! en<se alongside of our Bible.

I want us to do the right thing?the manly thing. Rev. R. K. Mosely?I say also let us do the manly thing and put our baud upon thetroubler, Dr. Woodrow?Do you mean ir.e? Rev. R. K.

Can it be claimed that Ibis Assembly has not the right to do this? Dr. M. Van Lear?There Is no doubt as to the power of the Assembly; the question is vs to the propriety of exercising that rlgbt. The deliverance of this Assembly will have rreat effect, and will be equal to rendering: a verdict against a gentleman wbo has not had the benefit of a hearing. Itev. Dr. Hooper, of Alabama?There can be 10 doubt that the cause of this trouble wan !he address upon evolution delivered by Prof. Woodrow, by request of the Board of Directors of Columbia Theological .

Dinwiddle?In the absence of Dr, Hcndrlck, Chnlrmaii of the Committee on Theological Seminaries, I offer the following iinondineut: "Resolved, that whereas the General Assembly Is convinced that Rev.

If we believe Unit these principles are the true principles, Ihen the only manly course for us Is to follow the question to its logical outcome.

THe tnRtter of nominating a candidate for Congress from this District by primary eleo"nn nnnllnllPB t.n h? A Kllhlt-ct of diSCURSlOn. , Abbeville has held her county conventiod > and expressed her approval of the -primary plan of nominating our candidate. The Far' mor's Convention went further and paused ; resolutions recommending the domination of candidates for Congress aiitf for all State and . County olflces by primary election. At? our County Convention has been called to meet In June, and as the plan of nominal ing for Congress and perhaps for Stale oflicers , Will be di#cusscd aud acted qn by it, we think the various clubs should consider the matter and indicate their preferences through their delegated. If the voice of a majority of the | Democratic votes of the State can be reached , in any way all must agfeb it to be oreicruble ' to voice of delegates from the counties as the , former would be too remote from each other and too numerous to corhblne for any iudi| vidual. The vote of each voter would express > his preference among the candidates ana upj on a general canvass much information would be disseminated among the people. . Leading questions of governmental policy . Would by uiscttssed and the vote would Indii cate the Viewfi of thb majority Of the people on such questional In a Congressional campaign the views of , each candidate would be asked on the matter [ of national aid to education, in the States, or what is known as the Blair bill j on tile sub' Ject of sliver cotnagc, the tariff. pensions and i other matters relating to the moral and pe. euniary interest of all the States. We would like to see the primary system adopted for Congress. If worked well it would be continued, and it not we could discontinue It.

The , only dltlerence lies in the fact that their nom; lnation. which, with us, is their election, . would defend on the Democratic vetes polled , for thchii ftnd nbt oh the whole vote of the District. This Is right and we hope our coun! ty will stand by theCounty of Abbeville as to ttie plan of nominating Congressional candl! dates.?Ktowee Courier. The A nderson Journal on the same subject , says: There can be no question about this being the proper plan of getting a true ex, press I ou of party preference and by fixing the election in all the counties ou one day it . can be mn?le entirely fair and practicable.

IU tUHtlllUOl Uicuiruivouic pivvv v. .v{,v.?v muln culled the "Hat name." A nderson Journal. Next to the question as to who will be chosen comes another nearly as Important: How will the Democratic candidate be chosen? The fact that the choice of the party candidate Is equivalent to an election Is good ground for the party at large to clulm the right of making the choice directly Instead of through a delegated convention. This ques? tion has been agitated and discussed before, and the late Farmers' convention in Columbia passed a resolution favoring the primary plan. On last saleday tho Abbeville county club also resolved in favor of choosing our Congressional oaudidate by a primary eleotlon. There cun be no question about this being the proper plan of getting a true expression of party preference, and by fixing the election in all the counties on one day it can be made entirely fair and practicable. If a close and uncertain race were anticipated between opposing party candidates It might be claimed as best to have a convention of delegates, more or less experienced in political affaire, nominate the candidate deemed most available, and let the party vote for him as against his opponent; but as It Is there Is no reason for the people to yield their right to * - ? ?? l?l? rt^nfr>i<rtnftA vote, cacil mull 1U1 ma niujimuni iiiviviemwi Then comes the geoaraphical consideration, which Is bo liable to influence nml bias contending delegates in a convention. We do not believe in the doctrine of rotation per ?e. If Hue greater number of the people see proper to choose their Congressional Representative from any one county ad infinitum there Is no ground tvr complaint. The man chosen is i supposed to represent the whole district, and I not the county, or township, or precinct, or , quartcr-secUcm be might come from. ? I^et the choice off Col. Aiken's successor be -1 fairly made, and let the people see to it for i i themselves tbat the falling mantle does not 5! rest on unworthy shoulders, and all may be | well, however much-regret is felt than one j i who has served us sotfalthfully man servo us ? no longer. ! Ata vocetit convention of the Democrats of 1 Abbeville resolutions were adopted favoring . the adoption of the primary election as the mode for nominating the candidate for Congress in the Third Congressional District. The convention in its preamble says that the nominations by the Democratic party are equivalent to election, and that consequentE ly every Democrat should have tho right to participate directly In the choice of all repre? sentatives, both Htate and National.

To which the Newberry ClserHer replies as 11 llows: ? Like all arguments we have Seen for a Conllutlonal Convention, the above Is .exceed- 1 glyj vogue ?and Indefinite. Not a single tjcctlonable Item Is mentioned, and not a f ngle change suegesled. It is'sntd, In a genul way. that "the present Constitution gives f lacninbrous and expensive form of goyernent.1' In what respects? Wnat ra there imbrous about It? Or what expensive? e H us see: Article I Is taken up entirely with a dcclara- o an of rights, In which no reasonable ohjec- y an can be found. It contains nothing either c imbrous or expensive. Article II relates to the Legislature, and tbe annerof their apportionment and election. > defy our cotemporary to suggest any Im- . ovements. Any "unnecessary offices" 1 fere? It also provides for a homestead. If e homestead law is to be abolished, tbe way g accomplish it is to submit the question to ie people by way of amendment. Article III relates exclusively to the execute department, and Is very plain and 8lm- s e?could not possibly be made more so. It Jovldes for the election of Governor and oth- 13 State 6fHcers, ami there is nothing cum* Otis or expensive about It, And no one will a intend that there are "unnecessary offices" tne executive department, L Article IV provides for the election of Su- * emc and Circuit ana Probate Judges, Clerk ' Court, Sliei iff, Corotter, .Solicitor' County 6 irurols^loncrs and Justices of the Peace, othlnc; "cumbrous" about tills. The Constl- 1 ition does not require that these offices shall 7 ; "expensive", for the salaries are left to be ted by the General Assembly. Are any of . icse offices "unnecessary"? If so. what jes? A few persons?very few?think the Hce of County Commissioner Is unnecessa- c The General Assembly heretofore has re- ? irded Justices of the Peace "unnecessary", id has refused to provide for them; but It <j is provided for Trial Justices, not required c Y the Constitution, and conforming in every sentlal particular to Justices of the Peace, r ccept In name iind in the fact that they are 1 >pointed by the Governor Instead of being cclcd by the people. . ? Article V provides for arbitrators, change of jnue in certain cases and for the codification * ' the laws every ten years. Nothing expen- g ve about that, unless It be the codification u ' the laws. And we remember that cartain eglslators atone time opposed the codlflca- v on of the laws on account of the expense, . id we remember the remark made by Judge ? ackey that?in economical member from his t >unty had prepared a bill to have the laws >fllded by convict labor. Article VI relates to eminent domain?to t hlcli do objection can ever be raised by anj>rlv' Article VII relates to impeachments; is r iin, and simple, and entirely unobjectionae and incapable of improvement Article ViXI, relating to the right of Sufage, could not be improved. Article IX relates to finance and taxation, id we have never seen or heard of the least Jjection to any thing contained therein. Article X relates to education: provides for State Superintendent of Educntlon and aunty School Commissioner?all necessary, id not more expensive than necessary. 1th the amendment of 1S79, it provides for a mill tax for common schools?put in the anslilution hy the Democrats, wlioarepledg1 to keep it there.

Tr.o above Is a brief summary of the "Radl- J tl GonstHutlon." The fact that it is a Itadlr il Constitution Is, we believe, the chief and ( most the only objection to it. Tlje objection i simply a sentiment. Sentiment is weil e louxh, but South Carolina is too poor Just ? )w to pay forty or fifty thousand dollars to i Htlfy a sentiment. Leaving out the queson of sentiment; we have no hesitation In . tying that the probabilities are the present , institution coutalns much less objectionable ( laterlal than one that would be udopted t ow. Better beHr the ills we have ttian tly to lose wo know not of. Better change the ConItutlon by gradu&l amendment rather than J > go (o tin expense of forty or fifty thousand } ill.'irs to get one that may not be as good as ? 10 one we have. Talk of the "people" framiga Constitution; the people no more frame 1 Conslitutlon thac thoy make the laws. One ndrad and fifty-nine men make the laws; i id thev do not always .make such as the people want or need. "One hundred und flff-nine men would frame a Constitution; and 1 >ore Is no ussuranco whatever that they ouId frame It to suit the people. 1 But to return to our esteemed cotemporary < 'Anderson. What are the "unnecessary of* i ses" provided (or by the Constitution? i The Constitution provides for Governor, s lout-Governor, Secretary of State* Comp- s oiler-General, State Treasurer, SUperinten- I ;ut of Education and Adjutant General for le State. Are any of these "unnecessary"? ? he Constitution further1 provides for three iipremc Court Judges, Circuit Judges?nurajr not specified, but left to the General As* i imbly, which divides the State into "con ven- ' nt circuits", and elects a Judge for each?a Mieltor for cach Circuit. Any "unnecessary j flees" provided here by the Constitution? The Constitution further provides for the Howlng County offices: Clerk, .Sheriff, Pro- 5 ite Judge, Coroner and three County Comlissioners. Any "unnecessary offices1' here? ' so, name them. It also provides for Jus- , ces of the Peace. Probably these are the inueccssary offices." But it is hardly worth hlle to go to an expense of forty or fifty { lousand dollars to get rid of Justices of the 1 eace, when the General Assembly manages ? get rid of them for notliiug. ] Wo have named all the offices provided for y the Constitution. Will th'e Intelligencer jint out those that are "unnecessary"?
