ing absent.

Of q place for the next meeting, the mem

place, and the 18th Of August next as the
time. ,e- !,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, of Danville, informed
the Presbytery that there were circum-
stances which forced him to esk that the re-
lationship which he had sustained to the
church In Danville for fifteen years should
be dissolved. He thought that 1t would be
hest for the church and best for himself
that he should be relieved Of his pastoral
charge. He presented a letter from the
elders Of his church, in which they COM
mended him to the people at large but uni
ted in his request to be discharged. i
On motion of Mr.. Moseley, he was re-
lieyed, and Mr.. Whsley appointed to visit
Danyiile and declare the church vacant.
Mr.. Peck submitted his report to the
Presbytery on Sunday schools. Most of
the churches had Bible classes and schools
in Furnishing condition. The report was
approved by the House and orderedto be
forwarded to the Assembly.
DR.. Peck, at the solicitation Of the PreE-
bytery, proceeded to examine Messrs:
Young, Of Tennessee, and Baskerville, OF
Virginia, on ecclesisstic history. The re-
sponses of the candidates were highly Gre
ditable to their intelligence and to the
Union Seminary, where they were eduea-
ted, as o school Of theological instruction
Before the examination was completed, MIR.
Moseley moved that the house arrest it at
that point and express their entire satisfso-
ton with and approval Of the candidates.
DR.. Alexander, from the Committee on
Language, Arts, and Sciences, reported that
the committee had examined Mr. Basker-
vile, and moved that the examination be
sustained, Carried. rZ79 ~

boats could go !; at which point it was ne
cessary to ride ashore on the backs of men,

conscious that the unanimous sentiment Of

he gave his views at length on the subject

Mormon and proved to the satisfaction of
his gentle auditors that the whole thing
was infamous aud illegal aud ought to be
abolished He was followed by Gov.
Ross, of Illinois, who fully endorsed the
arguments aud opinions of the Vice
President. Such freedom of speech from
such source and on such subject has
never before, il is claimed, been exercised
in this city.
These gentlemen, it Is said, will be

Excitement Among che Hamilton
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Gov

The action Of Messrs. Boutwell, and
CresweIl and Of Gen. Reynolds toward
the Hamilton Republicans Of Texas has
produced great indignation through the
State. Gov. Pease, Judge Bell, and many
other leading Republicans will take the
stump fer Hamilton at once. The folS

! ton:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, AUSTIN, Sept. 30,
1869. Breyet Major General J j Rev.
nolds, Commanding Fifth Military Dis /,
trict.-GENERAL: The substance of a
letter from yourself to President Grant
has recently been published, in which
opinions are expressed concerning the
two parties in Texas that call them>
selves Republican which do not con-
slider warranted by the course that has
been pursued by these parties during the
progress to reconstruction. This letter
indorses Gen. Davis and his followers,
who, whatever may be their present pros
feSsiOn, have heretofore made the most
strenuous and factious efforts to prevent
adoption of any constitution by our late
central committee and to induce Congress
to delay the reconstruction Of the State.
IL also condemns Gen. Hamilton and his
supporters, among whom are not less than
eighteenths Of the educated Republicans
OF the State, through whose influence 4
constitution was adopted by the commit
tee that secures to every citizen a perfect
equality of civil and political rights.
since the.date Of the letter referred to, the
administration at Washington Is reported
to have removed from Office many Of the
Republicans in Texas who are supporting
Gen. Hamilton and filed their places with
supporters of Gen. Davis, and it is now
understood that the influence and patron
age Of the Military Commander Of this
State and Of the administration at Wash
ington are being used in behalf of those
Republicans who have exerted themselves
to delay and defeat the reconstruction of
the State, and against those Republicans
who have in good faith used their inAu.
ence to carry out its reconstruction strict
Iy in accordance with the laws. and have
succeeded in that object 80 far as the
measure has been allowed to progress. II
is well known that l was appointed to
the position l occupy without being con-
suited. In accepting it, was influenced
solely by desire to aid in carrying out
the policy Of Congress, which consider
10 be the formation of constitution giving
equal civil snd political rights to all cis;-
zens, and the election Of officers who /
would administer it in good faith to secure
that object. have believed for some
lime past that the only mode of doing |
this was by rAtifying the new constitution |
and electing the ticket headed by Gen.
Hamilton. Under existing circumstances.
am unwilling to become in any way |
for the course being pursued
by the military commander and the adj
at Washington. therefore
resign the Office of Governor
Of Texas. Very respectfully your oLedi-
ant servant T. M. PEASE
