PRESBYTERIAN.
The Great Case Nov Before the u. S.
SHprems Court.

supreme Geurt'
A case is now being argued before
the Supreme Court of the United
States, which excites a very general
interest, particularly among the Pres
byteria7 people. 1t is the case of
Watson and others against Avery d
Co., on an appeal from the United
States Circuit Court for the Kentucky
district. The property in contest is
the church property Of the Walnut
street Presbyterian church Of Louis
vile. But the question involved
concerns the whole Presbyterian de-
nomination. The general assembly
of the Presbyterian church in the
United States Of America felt so
much interest in the case that they
made an appropriation to meet the
expenses Of litigation and employ
counsel. In 1865 the Presbytery of
Louisville put forth q document called
the declaration and testimony,
which arraigned the general assem-
bly, for its deliveranCe during the
war in reference to dOctrinal loyalty
and freedom. In 1866, the assembly
arraigned the signers of this paper
and passed the order known as the
IDSO FGctO order, which declared that
the signeTs, until their cases were dis
posed of, should not sit in any church
court higher than a church session.
Itfurther declared that any Presby-
terry aud Synod which admitted them
to seats in violation of said order
should be dissolved, and those minis
ters and elders who adhered to the
action Of the Assembly should be re
cOguiZed as the true Presbytery and
Synod in connection with the Assem-
bly,. After this order the Presbytery
of Louisville and the Synod of Ken
lucky divided, one side adheTing to
the Assembly and one renOunciug its
Jurisdiction, the latter now being
with the Southern Presbyterian
Church. The case involves a
question as to conflict Of jurisdic-
ton between the Federal and State
courts in Kentucky. The court will
be called upon 10 decide the relation
which exists between the civil and
ecclesiastical tributaries in this cOun-
try, and what effect is to be given by
the civil courts to ecclesiastical deci-
siOns. The Constitution Of the Church
is before the Court, one side affirming,
the other denying the cOnstitudonality
Of the AssemDly's action Of 1866 and
its various delegates during the war
on doctrine, freedom and loyalty. 1t
is said that the case incidentally in
wolves Center College, of Kentucky.
The Southern side is represented by
Thomas W. Bullitt, of Louisville,
while the other side is represented by
General John NJ. Harlan, of Ken
lucky, and Solicitor General BristOW.
