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. Lot 8. OTcrninii. of Rowili, for Oeaelral. Attorney Cor. ui the New iiiil (Jbsei vw.

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 !

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!'.' t A.

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.''

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 blue" color came oy on my body Sand poisoned rue. I was in 'B ach a cc&di- tiort that 1 had to be lifted from my bed on sheets.

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.

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.

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.
