QnAmcn guUlUgettm E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1881 TERMS s ONE Y KAU..-.-.-?I.CO. SIX MONTHS. IBO. Two Dollar? If not paid in advance. The Senate bas by a vote of 19 to 10 passed the bill repealing tbe Prohibition Act for Ocouee County. There is, bow ever, very little doubt that the House will defeat tbe bill, and leave our prohi bition friend.i in ?conee on top aga The correspondents of tbe Newt and Courier never let au opportunity pass without making some uuculled-for fling at the temperance people. This may amuae the reportera, but we ure glad to neo that it does not hurt the advocate? of tempe* rance. Governor Hampton was unanimously re-elected to the United States Senate by the Democrnts in the Legislature. This isa compliment which South Caro lina is always ready to confer as long ao she ia represented in thc Senate by such men ns Hampton and Butler. Some of our exeb, -ige? were congrat ulating the people on the fact that the present Legislature had no talking mem bers in it. They were a little premature, a* the present Huuae has developed quite a number of able nnd ready debaters, who do not hesitate to ea prcas themselve8 when they see proper. The State ia to bo congratulated on this fact, for discussion is necessary to the proper determination of a great many important queationa. When wo aaeerted last Summer that the South Carolina University had come to stay, some of our friends were dis posed to be offended with the statement. The vote in the House last Monday in which the friends of tbs University polled 7G votes while the opponents only got 29, ought to convince all that further opposition to the University can only make an opportunity for the airing of a little surplus rhetoric. It cannot ac complish any other object. The Univer sity ia here to stay. The Senate by a vote of 17 to 15, de feated the bill to repeal the Lien Law. Senator Mooro voted against the moliou to s.riko out tho enacting clause of tho bill. While we did not concur in the particular features of thin bill with some amendments, we think it ought to have been passed. Wo do not favor the repeal of thc landlords, lien for rent, and think it would be better to pass tho bill to take effect twelve months after date, hut we are satisfied that the country would be more prosperous if ino lien for supplies were abolished. Some time ago tho INTBLLIORKCBB predicted that it would be a waste of j valuable time to attack the South Curo lina University and the Citadel. The greater part of the day of Monday wns spent in fighting the appropriation in the House, but it.'pussed by a vote of 76 in favor to 29 opposed. This was proba bly a waste of over five hundred dollars to accomplish no good, and ye' this same foolishness is to bo gone over within thc Senate. The uhalructioniats will learn from experience, if in no other way, that South Carolina does not intend to go backwards in the cauae of education, while every other State in the Union is moving forward. Thc Uouso bas passed a bill to amend tho charter of the city of Anderson, which was introduced by Col. Ruclcer. It was introduced, for the purpose of permitting the collection of a suflicient tax to meet the interest and installments to become due on the subscription to the Savannah Valley Railroad, but instead of amending the Act authorizing the collection, of taxes to meet these bonds, they have simply removed all limit upon the taxing power of the City Council. The present charter limits the tax to thirty cents on the hundred dollars for city purposes, and in our judgment this limitation should be restored. Wo be lieve nine out of ten of our business men concur tu this opinion. The amenJed bill was introduced sad passed the House without the City Council ever belog con? suited or even seeing Its provisions, and without any petition, aa far as we can learn, from the citizens of Anderson. Tho point was doubtless not called to the attention of tbs author or tbs Rep* resentatlvea, or it would have been cor rected. We trust this provision will be restored by the Senat?. By this meaos a proper limitation will bs put on. the city government,.without io soy way damag* log the railroad interests. In fact tho credit of the city will be batter witt) this limitation than without it. - Tho Lcginlaturo bas had a retry Inter? eating contest over tb? bill to repeal tbe law exempting maa a factoriesi from taxa tion. In tba Se?ale the bill was defeated by a Tot? of 18 to 17, ?bile io the House St was passed by a vote of about two to one. We have not seen the volo of tbe members, from : this County In detail, esjeopt that Maj. Moor? voted for tba repeal iu the Senate, and Mr. fciudday spolre In favor of tba repeal in the House. Wtfare.glad their views did not prevail, for exp?rience bas shown that the law tends 'to develop manufacturing io our midst, ned manufacturing brings pros* perfty. ' The exemption only extends for ' ten years. In tho meantime, the State ! gets the taxes npoo the Increased val ita? \ Uoa of all classes of property around tba 'factories, andr* tho end often years gets ih? taxes upon tho factories them eel tea for ?li time to come, It tends to Increase the wealth of the Stat? by I bringing not only money ? ero, but popa- < lotion nico; ned It affordsprofitable'em* \ ployaient to women, ana children, who wro ia considerable degree n non -produc- I lng population, lt builds op towns, and 1 creates k demand for ali kinds of arri- ] cultural predicts, which greatly benefits ' the farmer* around the faatoriet j and by bringing tho-millo wither reach, cf tba cotton-fields, afford* athamo market for cotton, which tends to keep up tho ?.ric?.

The Nev? and Courier endoreet? tho views we expressed lust week about the Railroad Law, end conclude* ita article with the following strong and forcible presentation of tbe needs of our State : What is wanted io this and in every other State, as the Savannah New? forci bly says, is capital. Immigrants are also wanted. The South has un abund ance of the element? of wealth excepting workers and money. It is a abort-sighted policy, therefore, to tax foreign capital so as to drive it awuy, or keep it from UH ; und it prevents or cramps progress and development to make foreign capital bear U!>nece**ftry burdens. The true policy is to encourage the investment of capital and the promotion of public en terprises by thu enactment of liberal laws. South Carolina, UH a rule, has been liberal enough, but there is no lib erality, or justice, in subjecting railroad companies to regulations wh'.ch would not bo tolerated, or expected to be borne, by cupitalistB engaged in any other class of business. The Legislature, we are aware, baa but little time before i'., if tho determi nation is lo adjourn ou the day before Christmas. This, h iwever, should not bc permitted to stand in the way of such amendments to the Railroad law as are demanded by the highes? interests of the people of the State. S-iuth Carolina should pay tho salaries and expenses of the Railroad CommisH?Oii, and substitute the Massachusetts law for the entangle ments, obstructions aud ambiguities nf tho present system. It is tho duty of the Legislature lo determine amendments to the Railroad Law upon their meritH, and not tty them asido simply to avoid extending the ROHS iou for a few days. It should be thor oughly dlHcussed and fully examined before action, and if necessary a recess i until after Christmas should bo taken. Too many interests of tho Stato are in ' volved to be thus summarily disposed of. I THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. Removal ol Professor Woodrow on Ills Refusal to Roslyn- Resignation of Pro fessors noses and Hemphlll-The Re ealt or Teaching Evolution "As Probably True." The Board of Directors of the Theo logical Seminary met on Wednesday morning, twolve of the thirteen members being present, of whom Gre were now members. The President stated that the purpose of tho'meeting was to settle tho position of the Seminary in reference to evolu tion. The first blow delivered in the contest came from thc diBciples of Dr. Woodrow, who opposed the sealing of Rev. Dr. Adams, who bed been elected by the Synod of Georgia in piuco of Dr. Clisby, the latter having been displaced by the Georgia Synod, becauso be refined to obey .tho instructions of tho Synod to stop tho teaching of evolution in the Seminary. Dr. Adumu, however, was seated by an overwhelming vote. Agaiusl.this action a protest was entered by three of the Board. The next blow came from the disciples of orthodoxy, who introduced tho fol lowing paper : Whereas tho Synods of Georgia, Ala bama and South Georgia and Florida have disapproved of the views of Prof. Dr. James Woodrow on the subject of evolution, ns contained in tho address submitted by bim to the Board of Di rectors in response to their request for him lo givo fully his views as taught in this institution, and have also instructed the Directors to take steps to prevent the teaching of Bitch views in their Semina ry ; and whereas thc Synod of South Carolina has disapproved of tho teach ing of evolution except in a purely ex nository manner, without intention of inculcating its truth ; and whereas Prof. Woodrow nus publicly announced that if he continues lo be their protestor, he will hereafter tench as probably true the hypothesis of evolution ; and whereas he ls thus disqualified from tetnainiug SH a professor in their jjeminury, and thereby rendered Incompetent to discharge du ties in wbieb'b? up*???k* in the name and hy the authority of these Synods ; there fore, be it Resolved, That this Board, in obedi ence to the above instructions, appoint a committee, consisting of Messrs. Stacy, Webb and Sibley, to walt on Dr. Wood row and ask for his resignation. This paper was adopted by the follow ing vole i Ayes-Messrs. J. B. Maple, James 8tacy, G. W. 8cott, D. E. Frierson, F. B. Webb, H. L. McKee, W. 0. Sibley and William Adams. Noes-Messrs. T. H. Law, James Hemphlll, T. D. Fraser and W. J. McKay. Tbe Board took a recess to await the reply of Dr. Woodrow. in the afternoon the following porpmu mention waa received from Dr. Wood row : '.Tb the Board of Directora, eto. GENTLEMEN : I have received by the bands of your committee the preamble and resolution adopted by you, in which fou ask for my resignation as Professor n the Theological Seminary. "I have no desire to continua to teach in the name and by the authority of the Synods which control the Seminary, since they have expressed disapprobation of my views, but yet I am constrained roped tully to decline to oner my resig nation, for the reason that I would there by acquiesce in and so to some extent recognise the justice and rightfulness of the action of the 8ynods on which you base your request, and which I regard aa illegal in form and incorrect in fact. ''The resolutions adopted by three of the Synpds to which you refer condemn, with greater or lees dearness, my teach ings as unscriptural and contrary to our utandards; and this condemnation bas been expressed without judicial investi GMon. ny which alone such matters can authoritatively determined. , "I bold, oo tho other hand, that my tc ach i nRa, co far as they are expositions of tho Sacred Scriptures, accord perfect ly in every particular with the teachings of the 'Confesi?n of Faith and Cate chisms.' and, so far aa they relate to natural science, do nd., on any point contradict the Sacred Scriptures as inter preted in our Standards. "In View of these facts, I respectfully uk that you proceed to determino the inesttons as to my alleged incompetence ind unfaithfulness In teaching whit ia contrary to the Sacred Scriptures, as In terpreted in our Standards, by a full trial, is ls provided in the Constitution of the seminary, Section 2, Arliclo II. * Yours, very rcanccttull: .'.JAMrs WOOOBOW, 'Perkins Professor of Natural Science in Connection with R?v?lation." A resolution was then introduced look* og to the removal of Dr. Woodrow, io >rder to prevent his teachings and thus >bey the instructions of tho Synods vhich control tho Seminary. Before discussing the- resolution, the olio wing action vms taken : That Dr. Woodrow bo invited to appear before the Board, at 7.80 y? m., to ehow cause wh; .bo pending resolution may not be adop ed. ;'! ? * A committee, consisting of Messrs, adams and. Law, wer3 appointed to iommunicftto ' tho invitation io Dr. ok a recess until ir they resxserq ili^^hen MeMrs; *>5ama and Law -i the, following report ; f'W commitiee appointed to wait on Jr. Woodrpw and put into bis bauds the esolution requesting him to appear and bow ?aus? Why the solution propoaiBtf o ratnow kk*imtn bia professorship hould cot be) MQpfc?? 4k?g We" to re port that.Dr. Woodrow replies tbat he doe? not desire to comply with the invi tation of the Director*." After the reading of the above report tbe resolution proposing to remove Dr. Woodrow from II?H professorship wa* taken up, amended and adopted, ai fol? lows : "Inasmuch as the Kev. Ur. James Woodrow, Perkins Professor, bas de clined to appear before the Hoard of | Directors to show cause why he should not be removed from II?H professorship ; and inasmuch oil he ha? already liad a full hearing in person before three ol tho Ky nods ario through his friends und ad vocates before th? fourth Synod ; atid inasmuch an these Synod? have already condemned his views and teachings on thc subject of evolution ; and inasmuch art, in bi? reply to the committee appoint ed to wait upon him, Dr. Woodrow de clares hi unwillingness to tender hi? re?ignalion ; therefore, Resolved, 1. That be be, at:d hereby is, removed from II?H professorship, accord ing to the authority given this Hoard. |See Constitution, Sec. 2, Articles ll and 13.; 2. That the Secretary bo directed lo officially notify Dr. Woodrow of thin action. The following resolution was also adopted : Resolved, Thal in tuking this action the Hoard desiren it to be distinctly un derstood that in ?tn iuterpctration of thu instructions received from the Synods it doe? not understand thal any undue restrictions shall be pluced upon any professor of our Seminary, or limita tion put upon the discussion ol nny legitimate doctrine or hypothesis; nor does thin Hoard itself denire to limit discussion on any proper subject ; provi ded, ulwnyn, that the views inculcated aimil bc in accordance with the Stand ards of our Church. Immediately ufter the adoption of the above resolution, Hey. T. H. Law asked if tho Woodrow matter wa? dinpo?id of, and learning that it wit?, be drew from bis pocked and read the resignation of Rev. Dr. W, E. Hoggs as Professor of Church Uintory, who requested that it take effect June 30, 1880. The resigna tion, which seemed to bave bees pre pared in anticipation of the action of the Hoard of Directors with reference to Dr. Woodrow, waa promptly accepted without a dissenting voice. Next Kev. W. J. McKay took from bis pocket and read the resignation of Kev. Dr. C. R. Hempbill as Professor of Hiblical Literature, who requested that it tako effect July 1, 18S.r>. This resignation was also accepted. The Hoard then determined to meet in tho latter pan of January, 188ft, for the purporto of filling the vacant professor ships. The wholo case, as presented by the majority in the Hoard, is this: Dr. Woodrow's view?, in his carefully pro parcd address, were pluced by him be fore tho Hoard last September for their judgment as lo whether he could proper ly be permitted lo teach them, The majority of the Hoard, after a two days' discussion, approved these teachings. The minority protested, and this brought thc case before the four Synods owniug and controlling the Seminary. All ot these disapproved of the teaching of evolution "as probably true." and three of these Synods instructed the hoard to prevent such views from being taught. A? Dr. Woodrow announced that if a professor, bo must ailinn that evolution is probably true, the Hoard was com pelled to disobey tho instructions of the controlling Synods or el?e to remove Dr. Woodrow from hin professorship, which latter they did, in uccorduncc with the provision of the Constitution which says "the Hoard of Directors shall have- pow er to remove from his oflke any professor who shall bo found unfaithful in his trust or incompetent to the discharge of bis duties." A fow mouths have wrought a com ?lete revolution in the position of the card of Directors toward Dr. Wood* row. Last September his teachings were approved by nine members and opposed by four ; now nine members oppose the teachings and four approve them-all of the latter being from the Synod of South Carolina, three of whom hold over by elections previous to this year. Tho action of the Hoard created no surprise or excitement among the Semi nary students, as the result was what they expected from the action of the Synods, on which they had been fully informed. The discus sinus in the Board elicited no acrimony, and the conrteous action of the able President, Hon. James Hemp* hill, won for bim the plaudits of the en tire Board. The Board adjourned st 10 p. m. Wednesday uight. - The highest priced clock iq Ameri ca is owned by a Wall' street broker in New York.
