Bj- T"let;raiih to tli& News and Observer.
U.vltimoke, M. Dr., May 25. The
General assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian church resembled at
three o'olock this afternoon Rev. Dr.
J. Henry mith of NorA Carolina in
the chair. A report was made on the
records of the synod of North Caroli
na as properly kept and adopted.
Pending t!.e rase stbe complaint of
Rev. Dr. VVoodrow'Sifair.st the Sjnod
of Georgia was roRtitue'd. Rev. Dr.
Sfcrickler, cf Georgia, ad.iresscil the
Assembly on the part of the Synod,
lie said he had no personal feelicg in
the matter, but his object to ancer
tain the truth, i He reboorscd
tho chargo first brought against
Dr. Yoodi:ow, of adopting the evolu
tion tLeory, quoting from the speech
z4 ! r. WooJrow his vioui' of 4io for
mation of Ihe body,of Adam in as
sorting that tho bpay of maii was do
rived from tie lowor aciniuls. If that
was the case, it could oaly Lavs so
come by birth. The record .showed
that Dr. Woodrow argued or asserted
that Adam was of animal ancesLry.
The Synod of Georgia had . voted
pga:nst the action of the Treabytery
of Atlanta. The Synod of Georgia
acted upon the record, and the Gen
eral Assembly in voting on tbrs case
must bo governed in this ctse by the
record. Dr. Woodrow said evolution
was probably true, and all tho evi
dence before him bore out that idoa.
That was evolution, and Darwin aud
Huxley and others, vh6 have been
its champions, could not have said
more. The point at isstie is whether
his assertions are countenanced by
the standards of the church.

The County Convention of Bun
combe has done some, notable things:
It instructed for Mr. Stedman, for
Governor. This was probably what
might have been expected because of
the fact that Ashyille .is the home of
one of Mi. Stedn:an's close relations,
who is an' earnest and very intetligent
worker, and a most estimable gentle
man. .,
Buncombe also instructed for the
rofaent Attorney General ote of its
own honored citizens.1 This too waa
ery natural. J .
ZlBat what is specially peculiar, it in
structed for Mr. Mclver, an estimable
gentleman indeed, for Auditor !
v hat havo the friends of Mr. Dar-
uen, ci Mr. liourae, ci r- sanaer-
iin, of Gen. Roberts, the present
worthy & uditor, and the friends of
other eeemen to tin lerstand by
this?
Is there any peculiar reason that
Mr. Davidson's friends in Buncombe
can give for this instruction? If so,
it behooves them to furniwu it, as the
various delegates to the Convention
of the 30th would like to knew what
they are expected to do !
Une way m which this Auditor in
struction matter can be settled is to
nominate the Hon. Lse S. Overman,
who is in every way qualified, to the
oiiic'o of Attorney-General. Lei us

THE PRRMDEUT
ON THR PHOETER ATICHIS. kr . at'THE i
PEKSBYTE3IAN CHURCH
:1 il"i(.lila Times.
The President, who looked about
the sams as when here at tho Consti
tutional celebration,- was attired iu
black and spoke with much feeling
and in a voice that was easilv heard
by every one. He said:
I am very much gratified by the
opportunity here afforded me to meet
the representatives of the Presbyte
rian (iurch.
Surely a man never- should
lose his in'eresit in the welfare
of the ; church in which he was
reared nind yet I will not find fault
with any of you who deem it a s.vl
confession made When I acknowledged
tbat I must recall; the days now long
past to find my closest ' relations to
the grand anil nioble denomination
which you represent. I say this be
cause those of us who inherit fealty
to our church as ij did begin early to
learn thoBo things which make us
Presbyterians all the days of our
Uvea; and thus it is that the rigors of
our early teaching! by which we are
grounded in our jlasiing allegiances
are especially vivi and perhaps tho
bttst remembered.! The attendance
upon church service three times
each Sunday apd upon Sab
bath school dirinjj the neon
intermission may be irksome
enough to a boy of ten or twelve
years of age to bp well fixed in his
memory; but I haVenevor known a
man who regret ted $hese things in the
years of his maturity. Tho Shorter
Catechism, though j thoroughly stud
ied and learned, was not, perhaps, at
the- time perfectly understood; and
yet in the stern labor acd duties of
after life those arc j not apt to be the
worsjreitirsns who jwere early taught
"What iff the chief end of man 7-
Speading of. these things, and in
the presence Of those hore assembled,
the most tender thoughts crowd upon
my inincf all connected with Presby
torianisni,,and its teachings. There
are presefit withmej now memories !of
a kind antl affectionate father, conse
crated to ihe cause, and called to his
rest and his reward jin the midday pf
his usefulness; fa e acred recollection
of the prayers and; pious love of a
sainted mother and a family circle
hallowed and sanctified by the spirit
of Presbyteriariism. j
AJ-WAfS AT TS3 KBOtiT;.
I certainly cannot i but express tEe
wish and hcoe that the Preebvterian
Church, will be at the front in every
movement which promises the tem
poral well as the spiritual advance
ment of mankind. In the turmoil and
tho buEtle of every day life few men
are foolish enough to ignore the prac
tical value to our people and our
country of the chutich organizations
established among us and the advan
tage of Christian example and teach
in it I
The field is vast and the work suffi
cient to engage the efforts of every
sect and denomination; but I am in
clined to believe that the church
which is most tolerant and conserva-
tive without loss of spiritual strength
will soonest find the iray to the hearts
and affections of the j people . While
we may be pardoned for insisting that
our denomination is the best, wo
may, I think, safely concede much
that is good to all other churches
that seek to make men better;
I am here to greet the delegates
of the two general assemblies of the
Presbyterian Church. One is called
"North" and the other ."South." , The
subject is too deep and intricate, for
me, but I cannot helpi wondering why
this should be. , These words, so far
as they denote separation and
estrangement, should btTobaolcte. In
the counsels of the nation and in the
. . ... . '
business oi the country tuey no
longer mean reproach and antagon
ism. Even the soldiers who fought
for the North and for1 the South are
restored to fraternity and unity. This
fraternity and unity is taught anL-en-ioinad
in our church. When sbafl she
herself be united with all the added
strength and usefulness that harmony
and union ensure? i "
'When the President spoke of the
impression made upo"i him in boy
hood by going to church three timo3
on Sunday and learning the Shorter
Catechism there was; a very loud
smile, but when a few minutes later
he added that those wete not tbe worst
citizens who were earlyr taught "the
chief end of man," thre A were cries
all over 'the assemblage of 1'Good:"
Good!'.'

General Sheridan is undoubtedly a
very sick man, and has been vefy
near death's door, and is even now in
a critical condition. His disease is
said to be. valvular affection of the
heart. The members of his staff and
family from whom the information
regarding him during the current
week has been given to the public
have not at any time before today ad
mitted that his case was serious, but
have on tho contrary gave reassuring
statements in regard to him. It has
become known, however, that several
consultations cf physicians have been
held over him, ami tbat he is con
stantly attended by medical men.

An Art Association
News and Observer.
Qbr
In the May number of the Xtn-lh
Cnrolina Teacher is an announce
ment to the effect that a Slate Art
Association will be organized at the
Teachers' Assembly at Morehead City
next month, qannot refrain from
expressing my conviction as' to the
immense importance of the movement
of art education "in North Carolina.'
Art belongs to the refinements of
civilization and therefore has a great
claim upon the schools of, the State.
Art has, liesides, other uses than to
minister to tho cultivated tastes.
One of the great purposes to which
it is being applied tho world over in
ten thou3and ways i3 its. application
to ornament in industry. "There
is no class of our people so deeply
concerned in art education as the
men whoe toil lies at the foundation
of our industrial wealth. It is sim
ply a question "r'nether'onr workmen
are to be It ft to handle -the materials
cf industry in tloir crudest condition
er whether they are to be transformed
by education into creative forces, ca
pable of giving to the wood, iron and
stone which paas through theU hands
forms cf beauty which shall lend as
sistance to their uae; and thu3 while
enriching and improving the! whole
circle of socie y. be rendering! them
selves worthy of recognition as one
of its nob'est factors.'' The foremost
educators of the country are advoca
ting dratving as the first "steps in any
system of industrial education.! Thou
sands of teachers are 1 being
taught in the New England
and Western - States who are to
give the required instruction in those
sections of our country. Ybiie our
vst.Am.of fid tied tion is cool ftnd rrr p nr.
nrnM. hic mdde. taI nthr
tion8 c the country are using a sys
tem which, while it is called advanced
education, fits a larger number at pi
earlier age to earn a livelihood and a
more remunerative one than otjr sys
tem aoes at present-
It is with just pride that we allude
to Mr. Eugene G. Harrell, whose in
defatigable efforts on the part of or
ganized educational systems has done
so much for the educational interest
of the State. Now let every person
in North Carolina engaged in art, no
matter in what branch or how feeble
the elTort, attend or join the first Art
Association ever organized ia the
South. Mr. Harrell has proposed this
and success will attend it, but it is
the duty cf press and people tot give
whatever aid is m their powel to
wards establishing this .Art Associa
tion. P. CJE. -
Strange Sensibility to Blno. I
From the Albany Journal!
A prominent gentleman in a neigh
boring city is always made sick by
the smell of watermelons. He! can
detect the odor if one is carried
through his house two or three hours
before he comes in. When percepti
ble to no. one elao it makes him deadly
sick. Speaking cf this fact, the en
gineer of train No. 358 on the Hudson
liivor Railroad said : "I have had a
peculiar experience in referenda, to
poisonous substances. Poi3onl ivy
has never injured me, and no external
poison that I have ever handled! has
done me harm except in one instance.
I oneo wore a pair cf blue overalls,
and iwore them to go swimming. IThe

Two new juigfts are to be nouii
nfitttd, and it is concodol that ono
should come from the est and' the
other from the west, and in casting
about permit me to call attention to
a gentleman of Eastern Carolina who
standa pre eminently high in the legal
profession for probity, integrity and
legal ability, and who has upon ihe
Supreme Court bench so conducted
himself as to win the esteem and ap
plause of all wherever he has presided
over our courts. The gentleman I
allude to is the Hon. James E. Shep
herd, the judge of the first district.
Judge Shepherd is a self-made man,
coming out of the late war penniless.
By untiring zeal and ntnJious habits,
coupled with high moral rectitude, he
gradually arose iu his profession until
he became one of ike leading lawyers
of the State, and a few years ago waa
elevated by his people to the high
olnce he now holds. It Las been
often remarked by the members of the
bar " practicing before him that his
quickness of perception, coupled with
the vast store of legal learning pos
sessed by him. and his gentlemanly
manner peculiarly fitted him for judi
cial honors, and the suitors and wit
noss83 always have a kind word for
him. The fact is Judge Shepherd
possesses in aa eminent degree those
delicate qualities of heart and mind
that are necessary in the make-up of
a great judge, and his firmness and
decision of character are among his
best parts I am talking too much.
Let the people of North Carolina
wherever Judge Shepherd has held
court speak out and there would be
no doubt of his nomination on the
30th next. His nomination would
greatly please the eastern people.where
he is exceedingly popular and very
strong and as one who has witnessed
his course in the past I sincerely
hope our convention may see. fit to
reward merit and elevate him to the
position ho so richly deserves upon
the Supreme Court.

,v. We believe that with Judge Fowle
ior urovernor. ani uon. a. a. Alexan
der for Lieut. Governor we cari carry
the state by a good maiority. After
having heard the views of numbers of
our citizens from -different sections of
the county, we thick we wijl be safe
in saying that Fpwk and Alexander
are the choice of the Democrats cf
Porson county for the first and second
place on the State ticket, and the

nated. J'erson Co. Courier.
Judge A. C Avery was in town
this week. We have watched with
interest and pleasure the recommenda
tions of divers and sundry Democratic
county conventions in the State of
this good nan for Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. It seems to us
that he has developed more strength
than any name mentioned in mat
connection; we don't think there ia
auy doubt about his nominations The
judiciary and especially the Supreme
Uourt is the most important function
ary in our body politic. It construes
and expounds the law. Aside, there
lore, from the legal and other re
quirements which Judge Avery pos-
esses in an eminent degree, it is ne
cessary that the duties cf the high
position be exercised tj men of the
purest character. Whilb tuch men
are upon the Bench justice and equity
under the law will be administered.
McDowell is a unit for Avery for the
Supreme Court Bench and we believe
nominated a large per cent of the
Republicans of the county will cast
their votes for him. Marion Bugle.
ihe Republicans of Illinois are
worried about a report put in circu
lation by the Democrats to ihe effect
that "Private1" Joe Fifer, the Repub
lican nominee for Governor, is an in
fidel and thoroughly saturated with
the notipns and sentiments of Col.,
Robert G. Ingersoll. Dispatches are
pouring into eloommgton, Fifers
home, from all parts of the State, in
quiring as to the truth of the report,
and it is said he will lose a large num
ber of Republican votes unless a sat
isfactory denial is forthcoming.
