A sensa tional outcome of the bitter contest over election of United States Senator ap peared-lit the Senate this afternoon. when Senator W. D. Chlpley. of Pens.

I am further informed that the present unau thorized Bolder or my property Mas shown said letter to members of this Legislature for the purpose of doing me an injustice, and that he said ; to others that he held- such a letter and that it would injure me. i "The letter now lliegaliv held b member of this Legislature was written to me by a friend in Jacksonville under the sacred confidence of a close and In timate correspondence between friends The letter was written to me Inr trrr friend, placed under the protection of a umtea estates postage stamp and taen deposited in tha writer's coat pocket. that he might mail it in the postal car at the terminal station at Jacksonville, it being his Intention to depart from that station the next morning.

'In all ages a thief has been despised aniLexecrated by honest men; yet there is a lower and a viler criminal than a thief, for a thief at least has the nerve to risk his life when invading his sleep ing victim's home, but the beneficiary of the theft whe secretly receives the stolen gods to his own profit, or; to further bis own interest and purposes. is recognized by the law and the judg ment of all honest and brave men as a worse and more dangerous criminal than the cringing thief himself. sj I protest against this unlawful and surreptitious possession of my proper ty by a member or this Legislatures I protest against the nefarious and ee cret use of that letter in an effort: to Impair my usefulness and defame tny character as a Senator.

Mr. Alexander for a loved one wife or member of the Assembly who is ill. The minutes of the preceding day were read and approved. -Dr. Wilson announced an additional commissioner enrolled Rev. J. C Car- rothers, of the Presbytery of Northern Mississippi. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY A telegram was received, which read as follows To the Southern General Assembly in Session at wnarlotte, N. C. : The Northern General Assembly, session at Eagle Lake, Ind., heartily re ciprocates your cordial and fraternal greetings. See EpheBlans 4th chap.,4-6. SHELDON JACKSON, Moderator. WM. HENRY ROBERTS, Stated Clk. INVITATION. An invitation wsb read from Dr. San ders, president of Biddle University, in which, in behalf of the University, he extended a cordial Invitation to the Assembly to visit the institution at any time, as a body or individually, and he and the faculty would take pleasure in showing the Assembly the buildings and grounds On motion of Dr. Reed, the following acceptance was maae: "The Assembly receives with thanks the kind invitation from the president of Biddle university, to visit that insti tution, and would answer .that the members will take pleasure In accept ing the invitation if the business of the Assembly will permit. Rev. S. C. Alexander called atten tion to the proper cataloguing of the names by the seminaries. Columbia had gotten him mixed up with another man a very wrong one. DR. DABNEY SPEAKS. Dr. Dabney asked that the report on ministerial education, part of which was read at a previous session, be re-read and acted upon. He said there was a principle of equity involved in the matter. Two classes were repre sented: those who have means and can provide for themselves; those who have not. A sense of Justice ought to forbid discrimination against the amount they receive. That os Just: that is fair. Individuals have a right to do all they see fit for any young man. The Church has not the ecclesiastical power to for bid It: but if the Church, or Assembly, or individual has already done a part by them, then the Assembly ought not to give more assistance. Those candi dates for the ministry, who nave or ex pect aid from any other source than the executive committee, should not re ceive aid from the Assembly's funds except in case of imperative necessity. Fur colleges to bid for numbers, mak ing money a consideration, he thought very unseemly. He did not charge that any of the Presbyterian seminaries had done this, but other colleges had, and humanity Is as liable to be wrong in one as another. The report was read by Rev. Mr. Mol loy, the reasons proved and recommen dations voted on. EDUCATION FOR THE MINISTRY Your committee to which was referred the minutes and report of the Assem bly's committee of education, would re spectfully report that they have ex amlned, and desire to commend, the report and minutes of the executive committee of education, with the sum mary of facts therein contained. After consideration of the same, we desire to recommend to the Assembly: First, That the time for the observ ance of a day of prayer for colleges and seminaries be changed from the first Sabbath in November to the last Thursday In February, as unanimously requested by the executive committee, and by the overture of Montgomery Presbytery, referred to us. Second- That the Assembly reiterate and Impress upon all our Presbyteries that it is a settled principle of the As sembly not to assume the whole sup port of any candidate preparing for the ministry, but only to give such aid as will assist him in the prosecution of his studies and prevent his discontinuance of the same. To this end, the Assem bly urges upon Presbyteries to be ex ceedingly careful in recommending candidates for aid, and to be governed by the action of the Assembly In its former deliverances on this subject. Fourth, That the executive commit tee be instructed to apportion the sum of $30,000 among the Presbyteries for the current year, and that the Fresby terial chairmen of education be urged to apportion their Presbyterial quota amonar the churches; and urge each church to raise the amount expected of it. Fifth, That the executive committee of education for the University for the ensuing year, be composed as follows uev. is, m. Richardson, L. D., secre tary: Rev. N. M. Woods, D. D.; Rev. W. M. F. Alexander, Rev. E. A. Ram sey, D. D.; Rev, J. S. Foster, Rev. J. H. Lumpkin, Mr. G. W. Mac real, treasurer; S. P. Read, Thomas Well ford, John Johnston and C. H. Al bright. Your committee recommends the fol lowing action suggested by the ex ecutive committee: First, That the Assembly requests all of our pastors to ask a contribution from the ladies' societies and Sabbath schools in connection with the churches, for this cause. Second, That the Assembly hereby recommends to ail our people, ministers. officers and members, to pray more earnestly and more frequently for God's blessing upon all our candidates, and for tbe continued and enlarged useful ness of the system of beneflclary edu cation. Sixth, The standing committee rec ommends that the Assembly adopt the following resolution: "That the Assem bly heartily approves the fidelity and diligence of the executive committee of education and oi its chairman, secre tary and treasurer, the thanks of the Assembly being; due them. Finally, your committee asks that the modera tor will now assign an order of the day for the consideration of the report of this committee, tbe reasons for this - - recommendation being ; that the' V ealy - practical ' -test - s. the Church has of true self-devotion J a her candidates is in requiring them ta man ifest tt by the appropriation of their own private means or their own per sonal labor and efforts to their prepar ation for the holy office of the ministry. Third, That while the Assembly does not claim to restrain the discretion or l-generosity of churches, individuals or societies In rendering; belp to candi dates, it would instruct, the executive committee not to render aid to any can didate until it be advised of each aid as the candidate is receiving, or expects to 'receive outside of the committee's aid, and not to grant aid to them unless it be Imperatively demanded by the Presbytery under whose care the can didate may , be foe whom the aid is asked.' . : . , ; - . -. -: Dr. Price thought the' executive com mittee restricted. .y-...-. r;yy :. Rev. W. H. Davis thought the point waa covered in the last etauaeof the re. port "unless imperatively demanded. or. Seattle said it was a difficult and perplexing matter. Suppose we take for granted that the beneficiary system is practical, necessity laid upon us. When we come to administer It. we find a good deal of perplexity, -kecause tbe money conjee from various sources from eellegeev private benevolence, so cieties or individuals, er from the edu cational committee, and some from the yeosg men tharnselves, their parents or; th- - frinda From every acquaintance tii-s iatricare r"at?'r.

"Who la to be the Judge of the imperativeness 7 The matter la serious. I would like to see the beneficiary gen eral; would like to seel the Presbyteries relieved of providing tne money." r The time for the order of the day bay. lag" arrived, further discussion on the subject was "docketed.- Dr. Reed re quested permission to be out of order long enough to ask that a special time for bearing from the Fredericksburg Home and School be named, and that as early as possible, before the Assem bly got weary in well doing. Wednesday aftitrnonn waa ilrM aa tm Mm - The report of the standing committee on colored evangelisation was called for. It waa read by Dr. Bachman, the en air man. - i . COLORED EVANGELIZATION.

An overture from the Synod of Georfria. asklnjr than an independent Church be organised. From all these, and from conferences with brethren engaged In the work, your committee is made fully aware that there are many embarrassments in the prosecution of the work commit. ted to the hands of the executive com mittee. Obstacles have, arisen which none but the godly and faithful men having charge of the work could ap preciate. There have been times of darkness, when they could do nothing nut stand still and wait. But we are peraauried that neither the executive committee nor the Church at. targe should be discouraged over-much, Faithful and efficient work has been done with the means at command. It is no little matter that under the sup erintendence and labors of these breth ren so -many of the colored people have been wisely educated and sent out Into the field as good teachers of the Word of God. Greater things will yet be done. If the Church will only devise liberal things for this cause. The condition of Stlllman Institute demands the attention and earnest sup. port of the Church. Under the stress of financial stringency the executive committee has thought It wise to close for a time the academic department and confine the work to instruction In theology only, and this to but ten of the most promising candidates. Your committe would recommend that this action of the executive com mittee be approved, but suggest that the Assembly direct the opening of the academic department as soon as the way is clear, and that the development along the line Indicated by the superin tendent be pursued by the executive committee at the earliest period practl cable. By the direction of the last Assembly, the executive committee put Rev. O. B. Wilson, one of the teachers in the in stitute, in the field as a missionary, or evangelist among the colored people. A report of his labors shows good work done and a hopeful strengthening of the things that remain; and your com mittee recommend that his labors be continued. Correspondence with the Reformed Chureh. As there Is good hope that this body will co-operate with us In the near future in the work of evangelisation among the colored people, your com mittee would reccommend tnat the cor respondence be continued. Ferguson and Williams College Your committee would recommend that, as soon as the way. Is clear, the amount of t.i.OCO. determined by tbe last Assembly, be raised for the purchase of this in stitution. . Independent Church. Your commit tee has sought all available light on this question. -A voluminous corres pondence with many of the most thoughtful In our Church has been sub mltted to us: also a full correspondence with the colored ministers of our Church, showing that out of fifty-five, thirty-three are desirous of organiza- lon. Six are opposed, three are doubt ful, and eleven are unheard from, We have also learned that it ts the intention of the independent Presbyteries tjo call a meeting at an eariy aay ror tne pur pose of organizing a colored Presbyte rian Church. In view of these facts. and remembering the settled policy of our Church, your committee would re commend : " First. Should the Independent Presby. teries call a meeting for the organiza tion of a colored Presbyterian Church, that our executive committee be direct ed to confer with them in fixing the time and place for such meeting; and the Assembly does hereby authorize any of its Presbyteries or ministers and hurches. on consent of their Presby teries, to withdraw on their own mo tion from Its Jurisdiction to Join said Church. Second, A committee of five be ap pointed to represent this Assembly in tbe event of such a convocation being held, and convey these brethren our fraternal salutations, and the assurance that It is our determination to continue our financial help and give them a hearty co-operation In every good work. Funds Necessary. Your -committee would recommend that the sum of $15, 000 be raised for general work and the committee have authority to raise $10, 000 additional for the development of Stlllman Institute. We believe that a pecial effort should be made to Increase the fund at the present time, and we respectfully suggest that this Assembly enjoin the Presbyteries to see that the cause be presented to every church. Your committee would recommend that the records of the executive com mittee be approved and that this com mittee for the ensuing year be consti tuted as follows: Dr. E H. SholL Hon. . W. Lapsley. Rev. L. S. Haudley, D. D.. Rev. J. A. Bryan. Hon. J. H. Miller, Gen. R. D. Johnston. Dr. J. T. Searcy, Rev. Jno. Barbour, D. D., Kev. E. P. Davis. Rev. A. B. Curry, and Rev. A. L. Phillips, D. D . secretary. The moderator appointed J. w. Bacn- man. A. b. curry a. L. rniuips. B. n. Sboll and J. W. Lapsley a committee to represent the Assembly, as provided above, Upon motion, the moderator was added to the committee. CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS . Dr. Bachman explained reoort. The academic department of Stlllman In stitute (colored) is closed, be said, un der pressure of finance. It is hoped to re-open it as soon as funds can be "se cured. - -' In the next place, the work of evan gelization has been most helpful -and successful. - Rev. Mr. Wilson is in tbe field as our evangelist. In the next place. I recommend thnt correspondence with tle Reformed Cburcn be contin ued. The Institution at Abbeville. 8. CL. is In need. The Synod baa recom mended that tS.Ooe be raised to pur chase It. The executive committee thought it not wise at tbe time, but now thinks otherwise. As to - organising an Independent Colored Church, your committee has bad the Judgment of many.- white and - colored, men af thought, who have the good of the Church at heart., and after considering the whole matter, year committee is ot the opinion that we should accord them tbe privilege of setting- up - for them selves. That is in substance the report. Dr. Bachman then asked for the floor for Rev. O. B. Wilson, missionary for the church among the colored people. MR. WILSON'S ADDRESS.

Suppose a physician re fuses to go to those who are the most sick; what would you think of him? You would say he was unworthy.;.. The negro has the most need' of any. class tor the Gospel, and it belongs peculiarly to the Southern Church to give It to him. - ' ' "Some people say, turn them over to the Northern people. The Northern peo ple can't do the work aa well as the Southern people. It is peculiarly the duty of the Southern Church to lay hold of this problem. We know the ne gro and. the North does not. The ne gro Is not yet ready for the higher ed u cation. That is where the Northern Church makes a mistake. A treat many things have to be done, leading up to that, I don't say that all negroes are snot ready lor tne mgrner education. When ready they ought to have it- There are only ten churches within the bounds of our General Assembly that have made any effort to maintain Sun day schools among the negroes. "Btillman Institute is struggling for existence. The people won t give men. ey for the education of tbe colored peo ple. A lady in a church. South, said to me: : 'If you teach a colored Sunday school I will leave the church,' and she did leave it. Another said to me: 'If you give the communion to colored peo ple you ought to be tarred and feather, ed." "It is the duty of the Southern Church to realize that negroes have souls, and we ought to try to save them. There are a class of people who don't value a negro s life. Some act on the principle that negroes have no souls and dsn t mind shooting them down like - dogs. And there are white men, vile scoun drels, who don't value a negro woman's virtue, but make them the objects of their special attack. Therearegood negro women: women who are struggling and praying to get upon a moral plane and stay there. I tell you, brethren, God holds us to account for these faithful servants: We know their faults; we know their merits. It has been said there were never such slave owners in the world as those in the South. It might also be said there never were such slaves. Suppose we had had In dians for slaves instead of negroes, and had left them in care of our families when we went to the war. The Indians would have risen up and killed the wo men and children. But there is not an instance where a negro slave did so. Who have been our faithful servants; nursed us; attended to our houses and gardens? The negroes. I might plead for grace for them, but I plead only for Justice. I ask that we shall be helpers to those who have helped us." . A COLORED MAN SPEAKS. Rev. E. W. Williams colored, of the colored institution at Abbeville, S. C. was introduced to the Assembly. "I am glad," said he, "that your distin guished body has heard the story from your missionary. It waa a dark story; the darkest. I think, I ever heard. We are here, and here to stay. The ques tion is. How shall we stay?- Are we to be here as drones In the community and society? or are we to enter in and be a part and parcel of all that goes to make up a part of the world? This Is a question for the .attention of the whole Church. It Is the great question before the Northern and Southern Churches. We have made progress, yet we have not entered upon the best methods for developing the negroes Into sound Pres byterians. You have read tne overture in reference to the establishment of the independent Church; the overture to cut the negro loose. We ask the right to cut ourselves loose. I believe the negro will never develop into Presbyterian ism or any other 'ism' as long as hej leans upon someone else. If you want to teach a man to swim you must throw him overboard. Many questions come before your Assembly which do not belong to us at au; in which we have no Interest, Some peo Die say if we cut loose the white peo ple might forget us. I have no fear of that. What is true in the Southern Church Is also true in the Northern Church. I have been in the Church 30 years and know this to be true. The Northern Church has put us out of our sphere: we are being made dwarf a What we want is to throw the respon sibillties on the negroes' own shoulders. He is side bv side with you in your Synods and Assemblies: he has adopted your standards. There is no danger oi us going astray. You will come and help us and keep us straight. It has been said by your missionary that we have hemed you. Now you help us. 1 have no fear. I have confidence In the Southern people. All I ask of the As sembly is to give the negro a chance. and we will Drove ourselves men. I was once a slave, and I am now ready to carry the Gospel of Christ in the Southland. We want the Gospel and all the education we can get. We believe n all-round education, education ot head and heart and hands. I helped build the Institution with which I am connected. The education of hand as well as of heart and head is the spirit of the age. Education is the same among the colored people as with the whites some can take it and some cant. (Laugn terl. We want to add emphasis to the trt that It is Deculiarly the business of the Southern Church to take hold of this work. Talk about prejudice about neeroes: there Is no more of it tn tne Southern Church than In the Northern. sneak from a 30-year s experience. Take a negro and let him pass within the doors of the Northern cnurcn ana you will find where the prejudice is. rAnnlause.) A negro is a negro. any whereIn Maine or Georgia The South ern Church should recognize tne re- Koonslbilitv to the colored race that God has placed upon it." The report on coiorea evangelisation was then adopted. Rev. Dr. Phllllpe. secretary of colored evangelization, was called on. "I don t want to maxe a speech." said he. "I will Just take up a collection." This was done, and $74 was contributed toward the colored work. The renort on ministerial education was again taken up, being read by Mr. Malloy. Dr. Shearer added mi testimony xo tbe importance for Church aid for needy candidates for the ministry. The whole subject, he said, was difficult He is a strong ad vocate of Church aid. After Dr. Shear er's remarks, a recess of five minutes was taken. AFTER RECESS. The announcement that Rev. Dr. Hoge was to deliver an address at 12 clock, packed the house at that hour. The audience was the largest of the week. Both the main auditorium and annex were filled. It was a handsome tribute to the distinguished divine. On the platform . with Ds. . Hoge,: amonrst other distinguished divines, waa Dr. Dabney, his life-long friend and colleague s conjunction of Intel-: leetual stars. After prayer by Dr. HemohlU.

INVITATIONS. Cordial hearty, pressing invitations were read and heard from New Or leans, Richmond, St. Louis and Athens for the Assembly to meet with them next year. Dr. Walden presented the invitation from Athens in person. It was heartily endorsed by Mr. J. M. Hodgson, a mem ber of that Presbytery. The otner in vltations were In writing. Dr. Mallard presented New Orleans' advantages, but relied principally for the Assembly's acceptance of the lnvl tation, on the fact that "Dr. Palmer asks it." and on this account tbe church of New Orleans asks it. Judge Welford made a strong appeal for the "central city of the central Presbvterv of the South Richmond. Rev. Edward Mack, who represented St. Louis, seeing- that the contest would be between New Orleans and Rich mond, withdrew St. Louis invitation. Dr. Walden withdrew the Invitation from Athens. A rising vote was taken. The result was New Orleans, 155: Richmond, 44. . Dr. McPheeters moved to make It unanimous. Seconded by Judge Well- ford. Carried. In endorsing- the Invitation from Ath ens, Mr. Hodgson said: "It may be urged that we are too small a place to entertain you. I ad mit we could not hope to achieve such a delightful reception as we are now enjoying at the banda of - thia most de lightful people and pleasant surround ings. I have the honor to be a member of a family In which there are 11 boys this being a Presbyterian body. I will not mention the number of girls suffice It to say we could make her keep si lence In the family (brethren we all had a sister). - There were so many boys that my mother adopted the expediency of making our clothes rather large, so that we might grow to them. So we have been trained to great things. No man can do more than crow to or out grow his clothes, and if not equal to the Assembly, we will grow to It by next year. I would like my people to expe rience the same great pleasure that I am now passing through. It makes me proud that I am a Presbyterian.' proud er still that I am a Christian.
