DEMAGoGUEs. the 'minor topics of
the New York Times, which, like Mr. Ray.
mond's votes and speeches. do not always
agree with the leading editorials, there is a
rational solution of the situation in the South
The editor of s'minor topics says:
Surprise seems to be expressed in some
quarters that the blacks at the South should
have fallen so generally as they seem to have
done, into the hands Of unprincipled dema-
gogues But why should they not? Do igno-
rant men, utterly unused to forming opinions
and SO voting, ever do otherwise2 Wherever
there is a large amount Of ignorant voting ma.
terial to be used in elections, there will also be
found plenty Of demagogues 20 use it. The
reason urged for giving to the blacks the right
to vote was, not that they were qualified to e1-
ercise it wisely, but that their votes were need
ed, and it was believed that they could be got,
for particular party. It may be found diff
cult even for that party by and by to control
the power which it thus created for its own use;
but this is. one Of the hazards it ran Other
demagogues, more reckless and selfish than it's
own, are already becoming numerous and pow

G GaS. Assembly to recommend to the
,nnrcbes a uniform plan for the religious
;ns,rnction Of the freedmen. A scheme
was adopted by that body urging the i'm
nortancc Of preaching to them, recon-
mending that they should be gathered into
the congregations with tho whites when
thew would agree to it; aud providing for
their organization In separate congregations
when they preferred. The committee to
whom the minutes of the General Assem-
bly, were referred for examination, to sec
whether they required any action from the
Presbytery, reported that no further action
was necessary. This report was defended by
Rev. Messrs. Miller, Shanks, and Thomas,
who thought that the adoption of DECLARE
lions in theSe-mere abstract opinions upon
the subject Of the negro-was unwise; cal
culated only to keep up strife upon this
prolific theme Of contention. 1t was OPP
posed by Rev. Drs. Moore, Baird, Brown,
and others, who wanted to adopt decla-
ration setting forth the views of the Pres.
bytery on the subject. After protracted
debate, it was decided to refer the whole
subject to q committee Of seven, who are
to make their report next fall. :.
In the afternoon, Captain Stephen Tay-
lor Martin preached his trial sermon before
the Presbytery and large congregation
of the people Of the place. His exami-
nation thus far is well sustained.
Rev. DR.. Hoge preached one Of his best
sermons at night. The house was thronged
Many returned to their homes who were
prevented from finding seats in the church.

mon of to-day. Most Of the business OF
