Old School Assembly.
TWELFTH DAY.

After long discussion on 3 motion
to. limit speeches in the Louisville
Presbytery case, on Wednesday, was
withdrawn, and the debate proceeded.
Elder III. K Clark, of Detroit, re-
sumed the floor in support of the Com
mittee's report-in favor of dissolving
the Louisville Presbytery. He claimed
that the Committee from the Louis
vile Presbytery had every privilege
accorded to them of appearing here in
their behalf They have been invited
here, and their refusal to appear drops
to the ground all the argument that
they are being judged unheard They
had spread their doctrines all over the
land, and tried to create a schism in
the Church. They were aggressive,
and, therefore, this Assembly must
meet it in that spirit He dissected
some of the representations of the
declaration and testimony pamphlet.
and denied its assertions in gross and
detail. He defended the constitution
atty of the deliverances of the Gen
eral Assembly of 1866, and said it
was merely an exposition of life long
principles of the Presbyterian Church.
Rebellion against lawful government
was sin, and he was glad this great
Church stood right on the record on
this point. The speaker examined
the condition of the Southern States,
and denied that they were entitled to
representation in the Church. He
quoted from sermon of DR.. Van
Dyke, preached in 49,, wherein he
commended the doctrine, of obeying
lawful authority, wherever their lot
may be. cast. 1t was the duty of
Christians, according; to. DIR. Van
Dyke, to obey magistrates, even if the
Government was fanatic. Now, when
the Southern States rebelled, they re-
belled against a Government which
had been in their hands for sixty
years.
Pending the speech, the Assembly
adjourned
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Elder Clark finished his speech.
DIR. Wiley, of the Reformed Presby-
terrain Church, addressed the assem-
bly, in behalf of his Church, assuring
them of the fraternal sympathies Of
his Church
The Moderator made an appropri-
ate response.
DIR. Van Dyke opposed the report
of the Committee. He referred to the
quotations from his sermon arguing
obedience to law He said it was a
sound doctrine, and he had submitted
to many things in the past five years, |
which, in his heart, he felt were
wrong, and if he had been in the
Southern States he would have sub !
mitted to the government in existence
without stopping to question it. This |
was his opinion during the war. and |
he should hold to it forever.
Now he meant to stay in the Church |
no matter who went out, and those ed
itors and brothers who stated anv
thing to the contrary were guilty of
Misrepresentation He read from the
conclusion of the sermon which had
been quoted from by Judge Clark.
and tried to show that he had depre-
Gated disunion, and declared then
that he would not be separated from
his brethren and the faith. He said
the fact that 100000 men lie in their
graves was no argument to him why
the strife should be continued There
had been blood enough, and he loved
and honored his brethren in the South
as much as ever.

ton picking machine has been invented
which it is said will do the work Of twen-.
ty men, and dispense with 3 the. labor of
extra hands. The inventor claims that it
will gather cotton at distance ranging
from six inches to six feet, that it will
gather iteas clean as the most expert
hand; taking the cotton only from the
bolls which are fully ripe and we'll
open, leaving the undeveloped pods nm
injured, and not harming the plant. 4, -

have been ovescome by the ingenuity of

proves true, the machine will be more Il!

To ne Editor Of the Pittsburgh Commercial:
The attention of the public having
been drawn to the consideration of an
tique litera' y publications, which
at different periods have appeared in
your columns, we thought we might
po 81 Ily add to this list of literary cue
rlosities by calling attention to one,
perhaps, more ancient than any which
have as yet been noticed in your paper.
Prof. Fendleton, ofour college, has in
his possession volume entitled "The
Epistles OF st. Ambrose" published in
the year 1892, only forty-two years
after the invention of the art of print
ing. 1t is printed in dark, heavy type,
somewhat resembling "black letter.,
and, according tothat period, elegantly
illustrated. The colors are still very
brilliant, apparently not having faded
in the least. 1t is religious work,
written in the Latin language, much
abbreviated, according to the ancient
custom. Consideringit curiosity, as
it has been preserved from the infant
labors of that potent agent of reform,
the Press, we beg leave to submit It to
the attention of your readers.
Respectfully, G.. ID.

The Herald's Washington special
says:
1t is understood that orders baVe been
issued for the immediate fitting out of
flying squadron for duty on the

Gus reasons are assigned for this move

ish West India fleet ut Halifax; another
is the Fenian scare; still another is the
termination OF the reciprocity treaty
and the effect on our fisheries. There
is one thing certain, we shall have a
fine fleet in the eastern waters capable
of taking care of our interests in that
quarter. 1t will probably equal the
English fleet in strength.
