Serious charges have beeu rumored over the County against the Steward of the County Poor House, affecting both his management and his moral character, the County Commissioners recently fully investigated the matter. They summoned all the witnesses to whom they could trace any of the rumors, and all per? sons likely to know anything of the man? agement before them. Mr. John 0. Whitten, the Steward, was represented by Messis. Murray, Brea/.cale it Murray. After tho Commissioners had taken all *of the testimony in their reach, the attorneys for Mr. Whitten moved to dismiss the charges on the ground that the evidence not only failed to make out a caso against Mr. Whitten, but even showed that his management compared most favorably with any of the former Stewards, and that the inmates of tho Poor llouso woro well and properly cared for. The Com? missioners conferred together, and unani? mously decided that the testimony failed to show improper conductor bad inauago ment on tho part of Mr. Whitten, and dismissed the caso.

On last Tuesday afternoon, 27th inst., about 1 o'clock, at Mr. T. E. Dickson's gin house, at Sandy Springs Camp Ground, Doc. Rice, a young white man, was killed by Mac Johnson, a colored boy about 15 years of age. Coroner Nance went to the scene of the affray Wednes? day morning to hold an inquest, and up to tho hour of going to press we were un? able to get any of the facts from eye wit? nesses. Tuesday night Sheriff Bolt was sent for, and ho proceeded to the place and arrested Johnson, who had made no effort to flee from justice. The Sheriff ar? rived in the city Wednesday morning early and lodged the prisoner in jail to await the investigation. Mr. Bolt could could not give us any of the particulars, but granted us the privilege of an inter? view with the prisoner, whose statement is, in substance, as follows: His name is Mac Johnson, and is about fifteen years old. Lives on Mr. Walker Russell's plantation, but has been work? ing at Mr. Dickson's gin. Tuesday after? noon a young white man and a colored man, both oi whom work at the gin, and he were in the gin house. The young man was playing with him, when Doc Rice came up and said something to him (Johnson). One word followed another, until Rico cursed him. He returned the epithet. Rice then picked up a broom handle and attempted to strike him. He (Johnson) picked up a pole, nine feet long, which is used in measuring bagging, and struck him on the head. Rico foil to the floor and Johnson went immediately to his home Rice lived about one hour after he was struck, but never moved or spoke a word. Johnson is about half grown, and seems to be about as intelligent as the average boy of his race. He says that he and Rice had had a difficulty during the last Camp Meeting at Sandy Springs. The above statement is his side of the affray. Next week we will give the result of the Coroner's investigation. A Correction. Messrs. A. J. Sproles and T. F.

C, October 23.?The Synod of South Carolina convened here yesterday. A permanent organization was soon effected. About one hundred and fifty preachers and laymen are in attendance. Yesterday and last night the sessions were consumed in discharg? ing routine work. The various commit? tees rendered reports, and many papers were properly disposed of. the woodrow question. The committee on the Columbia theo? logical seminary, to whom was referred a communication from Dr. Woodrow com? plaining of the injustice done him by the directors, submitted a majority and a minority report. The former sustained the professor and the latter upholds the action of the board. The majority report, recommending that Synod condemn the action of the Board in its treatment of Dr. Woodrow, catne before the body for discussion, and elicited a prolonged debate. It reopens the evolution controversy which has shaken the Presbyterian Church so se? verely. This morning there was an im? mense crowd present to hear the great debate. In response to an invitation that he address the Synod on the ques? tion at issue, dr. woodrow appeared upon the stage and delivered a most re? markable speech in his own vindication and in condemnation of the action of the board. It wa?, indeed, a splendid effort, masterful and eloquent. The audience at one point applauded the speaker, but tbis demonstration was re? buked by the moderator, who admon? ished the assembly that applause could not be permitted. This checked an audience which would have frequently testified its admiration for the speaker, and shown its commendation of his course. Though consuming only thirty minutes, Dr. Woodrow's argument cov? ered every point, and disposed of every question germain to the issue. He proved conclusively that he had been unjustly dealt with ; that he had suffered condemnation and punishment without ever being confronted by his accusers, or given a fair trial, or offered an opportu? nity of vindicating himself from the charge of heresy. Dr. Woodrow stated most emphatically that he bad uever de? clared bis intention to continue to teach evolution in the Seminary, except in an expository way. He denounced as false the statement that he had ever asserted his purpose to maintain in his teaching the truth of the evolution hypothesis. Tbis disclaimer produced no small sen? sation, and well it might, for it should be remembered that it cvas upon this false assumption that the action of the Synod and the board of directors was based. Dr. Woodrow, in a noble pero? ration, feelingly declared that during the twenty-five years in which he has labored for the cause of Christianity he has never swerved a hair's breadth from the straight line of duty, or taught any? thing not strictly in harmony with the Scriptures. "But," concluded the doc? tor, "if I am guilty, try me, and if I am guilty, convict me. I only ask for a trial before the rightly constituted tribunal, and that justice shall be done me." Dr. Woodrow's address was listened to with the closest attention throughout, and produced a most favorable impres? sion upon all. the opposition speaks. Dr. Frierson, of Anderson, one of the j anti-Woodrow most aggressive and able champions, replied to Dr. Woodrow in a long speech. He was followed by Mr. Morris, one of the members of the com? mittee that signed the majority report, in a short and powerful argument in favor of its adoption. Then came one of the big guns of the opposition, the great agitator and fiery anti-evolutioni3t, Dr. J. B. Mack. It is held generally that Dr. Mack instigated the crusade against Dr. Woodrow, and is therefore responsi? ble for all the trouble iu the Church. He came well equipped for another des? perate attack on his victim, and he did not spare him. The audience gave him a respectful hearing, but he produced an exceedingly disagreeable impression. Dr. Mack spoke nearly two hours. Mr. Holmes then made a feasible argument for the report. Here a motion was adop? ted limiting all speeches to five minutes. This was done to bring the debate within such limits that the Synod can finish its work by to morrow night, otherwise this discussion might have gone on for sever? al days. At six o'clock a recess was taken till eight. The discussion on the Woodrow mat? ter was kept up until near midnight, when the question was demanded and a vote taken. Some half dozen members spoke on both sides, and the audience seemed tired, and wheu Dr. J. L. Gi rardeau, the most formidable of all of Woodrow's opponents, took the stand, this revived a general interest in the debate. It was expected that he would make the great speech of the session, which was proved true. Dr. Girardeau gave a clear and dis? tinct review of all the proceedings in the case from its inception to the present time. He maintained that the Board of Directors of the Columbia Theological Seminary had done no injustice to the complainant; that they had performed only their plain duty. When the fact that Dr. Woodrow was teaching probable truth of the evolution hypothesis was brought to their attention, they were bound to make inquiry, and when the Perkins professor announced his inten? tion to continue this teaching so long as he occupied the chair in the Seminary, they felt it to be their duty to ask his resignation. When he refused to comply with that request he was expelled. Dr. Woodrow at this juncture rose to his feet and said: Mr. "Moderator, the statement just made by Dr. Girardeau is not correct. I assert that I never, at any time, said to any person that it was my intention to continue to teach evolu? tion as long as I remained a Professor in the Seminary, save in an expository way. I did say that I held to the belief that the evolution hypothesis is probably true. I now believe so." Dr. Girardeau, resuming, said that Dr. Woodrow bad condomncd himself out of his own mouth by bis own confessions. He said that the complainant had put himself in opposition to the Church and j the Synod and the large body of Presby- j terians. He had insulted and defied ! them. Dr. Girardeau made some sublime i flights of oratory, and his eloquence ex- j cited an outburst of applause, which the ? moderator quickly checked. His effort was a good one, and it was thought it decided the matter against Dr. Woodrow. The question was demanded and the following vote taken in the matter: To adopt the majority report sustaining Woodrow and condemning the action of the board, yeas 80 and nays 09. This j result is deemed a triumph for Dr. Wood row, and should the South Georgia and Florida Synod take a similar action his victory will be completed. Several members of the Board of Di? rectors have resigned, and the resigna? tion of all the others are .sure to follow, j Tho anti-Woodrow faction, led by Dr. Mack, are sadly disappointed at the action of tho Synod. Dr. Girardeau insists upon withdraw? ing from the Seminary at the expiration of his present term. ?
