.■'- * ■ MOTHER SERIAL BY I. ) BRET HARTE. I Romance of the Jerseys, 1779. IN LARGE TYPE! ILLUSTRATED! Will Shortly Appear in this Paper! Bret Hart* baa written many delightful •toriea, but the romance of petite, ▼fra ctals and audacious little THArom BLOSSOM la undoubtedly one of the most exquisite of the great number of novels emanating from his pen. Located in New Jersey, in Revolution ary times, it deals with Gen. Washington and his immediate surroundings during on* of the darkest periods of the great Struggle for independence. It is just his torical enough to possess an added charm an that account. The story has lots of healthful excite ment about it, and enough love, treachery and romance to give it test. After some thrilling and not a few fBnny incidents, the heroine marries a gal lant major in Gen. Washington’s army, and all ends well. The character of the Illustrations will ho indicated by the following, which are 1 those appearing in the textt DBOrrXD THX BEDt IXBTAKTLT. The Woodrow Controversy. (From the Ceiouibia Register.) When the Pivsbyteiian Ge ml Awenibly passed on the ease of Dr. James Woodrow of this city, nt its Baltimore ses>i<>u, it was thought the matter was settled, for some time at least, probably until the Geneial Assembly’s next session. Such baa proved not to be the ease, bon ever, and by action taken by tbe Charleston Presbytery st its session in Aiken last week, the mat ter again becomes a cause of con tention. and in a new shape of more threatening aspect to tbe unity of tbe Presbyterian Cburcb than ever before. Tbe fall meeting of tbe Presby- ten at Aikeu last week wai attend fd by .fourteen minsters aud ten elders, but three of tbe fourteen ministers were not received iuto the body ontil alter the mo*! important action had been taken. PROFESSOR FLINN'S ORDEAL. The examination of Rev. J. Wil liam Fliun, recently elected Profes sor of Mental aud Moral Science at tbe South Carolina University, who came with a regular letter of dis- mission from the Presbytery ol New Orleans, waa conducted al most wholly by Dr. Mack and Dr Girardeau. Professor Fliun lias long been a friend and sympathizer of Dr. Woodrow, bot has never been an evolu ionist. The Professor was also utimately connected with the trouble relative to certain stodeuts of the Columbia Theological Semis nary, who attended Dr. WoodiowV lectures at tbe South Carolina Col lege last year, aud whose attend ance was stopped by tbe faculty of the Seminary. Professor Flinn took a firm stand against tbe faculty in this matter, as be was the chairman of the com mittee of tbe New Orleans Presby tery, having under its cate Mr. El- wang, one of the students whose attendance on the lectnres of Dr. Woodrow waa forbidden. Tbe Presbyterian Church law requires that one Presby tery in re ceiving a minister from any other Presbytery shall examine him on bis theological views, etc. This examination it usually a mere f rm and occupies about ten minatan. In Prof. Flinn’s care, however, the examination lasted gome four boors, ami he was asked almost everv conceivable question by Drs. Mack and Girardeau. One ques tion waa about 10 this effect: “Will you promise not to teach or write anything agaiust tbe Assembly’* decision in the Woodrow case f” Prof. Fliun wan finally admitted by a unanimous vote, his attitude being courteous oat firm throagh- oat. A SORT OP DYNAMITE BOMB. In the midst of Professor Flion’g examination Dr. Mack intrednoed the following paper: “Tbe committee on Minn es of tbe General Assembly call the at tention of Presby tery to tbe judi cial caae decided by the Assembly (she page 408), and recommend the adoption of the following rosoln« tion: Presbytery hereby informs its ministers, rnliog elders and deaeooa that the General Assembly has jus dioially sflirmed the decision of tbe Synod of Geoigia declaring that tbe ‘belief of * * James Wood row, D. D . to ike origin of the bodo of Adam teat contrary to ike Word of Ood at interpreted in tke tiandardt ef tke CkurckS Therefore, that this Presbytery regards the bolding of said form of evolution as ‘contrary to the Word of God aa interpreted in tbe staudt ards of tbe chnrch,’ and forbids tbe pnblic contending against the de cision of the Assembly.” A PROTEST PRESENTED. I of this country 12,000,000 fsmilii family will oonrai This paper, which adopted by a vote of 14 to 7. said 1 | )ut oUltnod the l ight t<* lAlkis* I ft is ■** ftsaii'kiiislklee ■•itinr tani’ mitted to record, respectfully sob mit the follow log : 1. The Presby tery disdai ns any intention to use ofienwiv- language, or to Impute dishonorable tn’en- tion to tbe prnfrstants sod those whom they may represent, and it i« gratified at learning that the pro te*t*i>t* repudiate it as an niikiod and nncharitable su-pi«ion that they could publicly contend against the judicial deliverance of tbe Gen eral Aseembly. Tbe Presbyterv is glad to know that the pio estauts thus virtually pledge themselves to puisne an opposite course. 2. Tbe Assembly did uot feel itself called u|iou to forbid resist ance to its jodgmeut, rendered in a judicial case. The const it o'ional law is sufficiently explicit in regard to that matter, But inasmncb as there has been, since the meeting of tbe Assembly, pnblic contention against its jodiciai decision witbio the holders of the Presbytery, tbe Presbytery teemed it justifiable and necessary to forbid soch a course by those belonging to it & Upon the third (win the pro- estants answer themselves when they declare that it would be un kind, uncharitable and ba'sh to impute to them the intention to un seal their lipe in a pnblic couten tion against ihe judicial deliver ance of onr snpreme court. Tb« y, themselves, thus seal their own lipe in regard to tbe doings of what above Presbytery forbids— na uiely,pnblicly contending sguiust the said judicial deliverance ol tbe Assembly. The protestants misstate tbe terms of the Presbytery’s action when Jhey say that it seals the lips of any one under its jurisdiction against even a respectful aud tem perate criticism of tbe Assembly’s action if they mean by sncb criti cism tbat it is msde in a constitu tional manner. The protestants recognize the judgment oi the supreme court in a concrete judicial esse to be law, like any jnst law necessarily limits freedom to a eertsin exteut, and obedience to this law like obedn uoe to any each is true liberty. B. Mack, J. L. Girardeau, B. F. Wyman. A PROTEST FROM THE PULPIT. Rev. N. M. Woods, pastor of .he First Presbyterian Church, preach ed on Bund iy a sermon directly bearing on the propriety of the Presbytery’s action. His theme w. s “Chi istiau Liberty,* aud bis text being Acts iv, 18 20, and Gala tians i, 8. Tbe whole discourse was an exposition of “the dnty of a Christian when unlawful, unscrip tnrual demauds are laid npon him by those over him iu authority.” Briefly staled, hut points were: 1. Tuat God’s utterances, once delivered, are infa libly true, and never c-<n be abend by any rea- aouiug or commands of men. 3. Various passages ol scripture were ureseuted to show that God intends private Christians to si; in judgment on tbe doctrines aud com nauda of tbe highest tribunals in tbe church, fud to make obedi ence depend on whether or not these oummauda t re oomstest with the word of God. 3. Passages tiom the Westmio- ter Confession of Faith were quot ed, touching liberty of cousoteuoe aud freedom of speech. After ooncludi g bis m rmon, Dr. Woods made a statement to his congregation, relating the facts as to ,be recent action of the Presby - tery, and saying that he was one ol a small minority who were confi dent tuat the deliverance of the General Assembly iu the case of Dr. Woodrow was iu some respects extremely unfortunate.

Because the said action im plies the uncharitable suspicion ih t there are persons under its jurisdiction who would publicly contend agaiust said deliverance in an unlawful manner. Bach suspi cious are regarded by your protest tants as unkind aud harsh, aud as having a tendency to produce dis seusion rather than promote the pence and harmony of tbe chnrch. 2. Because Presbytery’s actiou goes beyond tbat of tbe Assembly, aud adds in an imerdici which the Assembly deal m-d to ini|K>se, al though a paper coutaiuiug a simi lar injunct ion was presented for its approval. Hence Presbytery’s pro- uibition is nuwarranted by tbe As- semtdy’a action, thongh professed ly based upon it. 3. Presby tery ’s action is an at tempt to practically seal tbe lips of eveiy one under its jurisdiction against even a respectful and tem perate criticism of the Assembly’s aci ion. It is therefore, in our bumble judgment, an unlawfnl invasion of our God given liberties, unwarran ted by tbe facts, and in violation of onr constitution. (Signed) W. A Clark, Nrandbr M. Woods, J.
