NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DISCUSSION.
CHICAGO, May 30.-ln the Presbyterian as
sembly, this afternoon, Rev. MIR. Edwards spoke
at great length against the board system, and
charged that the Presbyterians had adopted and
were working in the Congregational harness.
He insisted that the boards governed the assem-
bly,; the secretaries were virtually created to
membership in the boards by their power TO
make nominations; their influence manufac-
tured public opinion; pastors had been set
tied, unsettled, and prevented from settling,
to favor the plans Of the secretaries of the
board, which is threatening to become numer-
GUS, full of mischievous tendencies, and their
effects are beginning to be felt.
The time had come for the assembly, and not
the secretaries, TO nominatelthe board. He adj
yocated recommitment of the whole subject TO
be reported on next year. Considerable excite
ment ensued, Degener getting into wrangle,
in which unparliamentary language was freely
used. A motion to table the whole subject was
decided out Of order. An appeal was taken and
the decision sustained. Judge Allison, of Phila-
delphia, characterized the speech of DR.. Edwards
as wholesale bill of indictment without title
of proof DR.. Edwards replied that he would
prove all he said, and more too.
