/. A MINISTER TRIED FOR WHIPPING
HIS WIFE.-Presbytery of Chesapeake
met in Baltimore to-day to try the case of
Rev. HI. E. G. Baskerville, of Laurel,
charged with whipping his wife. The
specification is that one Sunday morning
a short time since, the Rev. gentleman,
who is the provider for his household. hav-
ing forgotten to provide anything for
breakfast except bread and butter, was
surprised to find some eggs on the table,
and being informed by his wife, in re-
spouse to an inquiry, that she had borrow
ed them of neighbor, told her he would
''teach her how to break the Sabbath"
and did so by slapping her jaws, one Of his
slaps striking her on her eye, and "black-
ing" that orb into which he had so often
fondly gazed. Mr.. Baskerville acknowl-
edged the charge, and expressed himself as
being deeply sorrowful. The Presbytery,
after deliberation resolved to dissolve the
pastoral relation of Mr.. Baskerville, and
suspend him from the office Of the ministry
until further action of the ecclesiastical
body. There were extenuating circum-
stances in the case, and in the judgment

REV. r. L. DAVIS, OF LEESBURG,
said he had read in the bible the history of
a prisoner who was sent for trial bound,
but with no charges against him, and now
this Diocese has sent its prisoner. i'll the
Committees report, to the General Con-
vention for trial, we should send the
charges with him Why not make the
charges :? They say possession is nine
points of the law. Our prisoner has had
possession for seventy years, and now when
we send him for trial, we must send rea-
sons why we want him disposessed, IT we
do truly wish to get rid of Ritualism, then
it is desirable we should get some change
in this institution Office. I believe the
word ''altar" was designedly inserted as
set off to the word ''table,'' used by the
Reformers, and which is used in other
parts of. the services. 1t was inserted in
book where the Ritualists find their strong
est footing-the Prayer Book Of the Eng
lish Church. In this book the Office of
visitation of the sick is made authorita-
tive, and in that collect the priests Of abso-
luton are impregnably ertrenched. The
followers of Pussy can't be driven from it,
and so with all relative doctrines. The
fathers of the American Prayer Book saw
this, and left out that collect, saying that it
was not in harmony with the spirit of the
book, and their action is a precedent for us
in this case.
REV. JOHN R. M'GILL, OF FAIRFAX,
said the main idea before the Council
seemed to be that the efforts of its dele
gates, to the General Convention, against
would be prejudiced by the pas
sage of this resolution. Now, Ritualism
was distinct question from this. The
High Church in that General Convention
from Maine to Mexico, will rise up against
even if the diocese of Virginia
were to remain perfectly quiet-so there is
nothing to fear in that direction. Let us
have this thing out mow, honestly, and
There is great effort being
made, land I do not mean to impugne the
motives of those who make it, to stave the
question off. say let us ventilate it. It's
ventilation cannot prejudice our delegates

FIRST CONGRESSEGNAE DIS
TREfT.

Major Jesse J. Yeates, as we have
already announced, has been NOM
mated by the Democratic Conservative
Convention for Congress in the First
District. Major Yeates will bring out
the full strength of the party, and if
the frauds by which Cobb was elected
before can be prevented, and under
the amended election law we believe
they can and will, he will no doubt be
returned.
We learn from the Raleigh Neacs
that there is serious division in the
Radical ranks, there being a strong
feeling in favor of Dr. Ransom,
Senator in the last Legislature, and
against Mr.. Cobb. The Nominating
Convention, recently in session at
Plymouth, was in session three days
in consequence of this division of SEN
timent, and the nomination of Cobb
was only obtained at last by the with
drawal of the whole Ransom wing
from the Convention, which wing sub
sequently met and nominated Ransom.
So there are really two Radical Con-
gressional tickets in the field in that
District. The Radical party in the
State, it would seem, has become
thoroughly Disguised with it's own cor
ruption, and the evidences of it's dis
solution are to be seen on every hand
The Democratic party of North Caro-
lima has only to put its shoulder to
the wheel in August next, in order to
wholly overthrow and overcome their
opponents.

EVENING SESSION.


WEDNESDAY, May q, 1874.
Order for the hour being the report
of the standing committee on Foreign
Missions,
DR.. Stratton read the report, which
is as follows:
The committee rejoice and return
thanks that the past has been SO sue
cessful year in the interests of this
important enterprise, SO much SO that
Notwithstanding the financial panic
during this year the committee closed
the year with not dollar of debt, and
having surplus in the treasury of

Missions properly established should
be regularly reinforced, Our ten
missionaries will have to be reinforced
the present year with ten more.
All the letters from our brethren in
heather lands call for help. We have
young men and ladies saying ''here,
and send me-" Nothing therefore re-
mains but for the church to say that
they will supply the money necessary.
The amount thus far contributed to
this cause by our churches does not
yet amount to SO cents per head per
year. Let not this have to be written.
On motion, a collection was taken
up while the audience sang the Mis-
sionary Hymn.
The Assembly then adjourned until
morning at 9 O'clock.
Closed with prayer by DIR. J. r.

SCALES AND DAVIS,

LIT will be seen from our Geographic
columns that these two distinguished
gentlemen have been nominated for
Congress i'll their respective Districts
by the Democratic Conservatives. 1t
gives us pleasure to make the an
nouncement. Our party throughout
the State, with hardly an exception,
are choosing standard bearers who de-
serve and viii win victory.
Both of these gentlemen are no less
sflsti,'r i1i~i al FIR their services in the
fieia n; Il civil walks of life. We
served 'gilout the war with Gen
eral SCALE. and it is with pride that
we refer to him as our friend. No
drawer soldier or truer gentleman
lives, and his election to Congress will
be hailed with pleasure by lis friends
throughout the State.
Captain DAVIS is as we'll and favora-
bly, known. His services in the field
and, especially, the care with which he
administered to the wants Of The North
Carolina soldiers in prison at Jo,,a-
ston's Island has endeared him to eyery
son of the State.
We predict the election of both.

this Assembly and entitle that COM
mittee to the full confidence of all
our subordinate courts, ministers and
people.
8. The Assembly labors nnder the
painful conviction, that the continued,
and, in some cases, increasing pecu-
mary weakness of many of our
Churches, aid to which, under the
five year Rule" bylaw No. 81 must
soon be materially diminished and
finally withdrawn-will result in dis
astrous consequences to such Churches,
their faithful members and their fami-
lies. In this view is found an addi-
tional and potent consideration to
quicken the efforts of our subordinate
courts, ministers and people, in pro-
viding for supporting able Evangelists.
For as the ''five years Rule" may not
be set aside, without endangering the
whole interests involved in the Sus
tentation scheme, the only relief for
the feeble Churches, is to be found in
the provision of Evangelist, to whose
care and ministration they may be ulti-
mately committed. And it should be
felt by all concerned, to be O most
tender trust anda most solemn duty to
supply all our people, however feeble
their ecclesiastical organizations, and
however isolated, as to Church rela-
tons, their homes, with some ministry
of the ordinary means of Grace"
5. Highly gratified as the Assembly
feels, in the increased contributions
to the ''Invalid" fund and the increase
of subscribers to the Relief Fund.
both of which enterprises appeal to
the confidence of our judgments, and
the sympathies of our hearts with
which the needy among cur ministers,
and their bereaved families are re-
garded, the Assembly reiterates the
earnest commentators of its prede-
cessors, in respect to both ENTERPRISES.
6. The Elk Committee of Sustenta-
ton is hereby authorized and directed
to prescribe an additional condition on
which ministers may become eubscrib-
ers to the Relief fund, viz: "Whenever
any minister, for himself, or any
church or other party for him, pro-
poses to subscribe to this fund, there
must be furnished to the committee
satisfactory evidence that such a min
lister enjoys ordinary good health.
