THE IDEAL SUPERINTENDENT.
THE BAPTIST UNION.

'Us,ION MEETING OF BAPTIST CHURCHES TO
CONSIDER THE MATTER OF ORGANIZING A
BAPTIST UNION.
A union meeting of the Baptist churches
was held at the First Baptist Church last
evening, to consider the matter of organ
izing Baptist Union for this city. The
attendance was large and much interest
was manifested in the proposed association.
Mr.. w. III. Knippenberg stated the object
of the meeting (which was given in the an
nouncement of the meeting) and nominated
Mr.. David Burns as moderator. who was
unanimously elected. Mr.. Edgar williams
was made secretary. The discussion upon
the propriety of the organization contem-
plated was begun upon the motion of Mr..
Ray; that the meeting proceed to said or
ganization.
A substitute, however, afterward took
the place OF this motion, requesting the diff
terent churches to appoint delegates to a
subsequent meeting TO take action in the
matter of organizing the union. These dele
gates are simply appointed to convey the
wishes of their respective churches on the
subject. Pending this substitute general
expression of views was INDUCED
in, all the speakers favoring
the plan, but differing as to
the purpose of the proposed union and what
connection the various churches should have
with it. The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be that the union should be
formed of individuals independent of the
churches. The decision of the moderator
was that the union could have no power
over the churches, and must of necessity be
distinct organization. Remarks on the
question were made by Col. John w. Raw,
| a. G. Atkins, VIM. G. Smock, the Rev. s.
Connelias, Mr.. Ames, James Sutton. Mr..
Jillot, Moses Brolls, the Rev. DR.. Day, the
Rev. @. s. Gillespie and others. The pend
| ing motion was then adopted, the number
of delegates from each church being limited
to three. The following named committee
| were appointed to draft a con-
stitution to present to the next meeting to
be held in two weeks from last evening al
the same place: Mr.. Swing of the Garden
Baptist Church. Mr.. Broils of the Second
Church, Mr.. Sutton of the First Church
Mr.. Singleton of Mount Zion, Edgar Will
Jams OF North Church. the Rev. Mr.. Gillespie
of South Church, Mr.. Temple of the Judson
Church, and j. Koobman of the German
Baptist Church.
After a brief prayer by Mr.. Broils, the
meeting adjourned.

The foolish and indecent idea is put for
ward in Tippecanoe county of contesting the
seat in the State senate of Judge John NJ.
Larue elected by large majority on the
ground that had the common please court
not been abolished by the legislature his
term of Office as judge would not yet be out
Such stuff is very silly. Judge Larue is a
republican, but was fairly and handsomely
chosen by the people OF Tippecanoe county
for their senator, and he is eminently quail
fed to honor the position. He will make
a most worthy senator no matter what party
elected him. 1t is not creditable for his OPP
ponents before the election to indulge such
evidences Of spleen over square defeat.

The Evansville Journal reaches its hand
over the party fence to say: We are gratified
to know. from paragraph which we copy
from the Henderson Chronicle, that the first
congressional district is not to be unrepre-
sented in the race, and that the friends OF
Col. George Shanklin think of presenting
his claims before the democratic caucus. It
is thought his services in defeating the re-
publican candidate for Congress entitle him
to such distinction. We need hardly say
that we are confident Mr.. Shanklin could do
much for Evansville in the Senate, and,
furthermore, that he can come nearer filling
the seat occupied by Dan Pratt than any
democrat in the State.
