Synod..The Presbytery Formall,
Directed to Erase Swings Mann,
From its Roll.
: The'Presbytelian Synod of Norther,
Illinois, yesterday, the 23d, after :
prolonged discussion, voted by a large
majority to sustain the appeal Of Prof
Patton from the verdict of the Chicago
Prcsbytery in the Swing case. Subse.
quently the report Of the committee
appointed to express the action Of the
synod in reference to the matter was
submitted, with the recommendation
that the Synod proceed to vote
on the charges and specifications
severally, and that the
synod be at liberty to take such final
action after the vote as it in the wis.
dom Of the body may seem best. The
report was adopted, and the synod pro.
cceded to take vote on-the charges
and specifications. Charges first and
second with the specifications were
sustained. At this point Rev. Findley
submitted a preamble and resolutions.
reciting the action of the synod in the
matter, and sustaining and commencing
Prof: Patton in his action, reproving
the Chicago Presbytery for it's verdict
in the case, but for the sake of ending
the unhappy controversy, and as the
accused person has declared himself an
independent minister, directing the
Chicago Presbytery to erase the Rev.
DIR. Swings name from its rolls. After
further discussion the resolutions were
referred to committee, who brought
in the following, which was adopted:
The committee appointed to prepare
minute expressing the synod's sense
in the matter Of tha appeal Of the Rev.
r. l.. Patton against D. Swing, from the
decision of the Presbytery Of Chicago,
recommend the adoption of tho follow.
ing:
First. The synod sustains the appeal,
and reverses the action of the court
below.
Second. The synod finds that both
charges were proven.
Third. The synod believes that
the proof Of these charges would,
under other circumstances, re-
quire it to pronounce the
sentence of suspension from the gospel
on the Rev. David Swing, but
in view of the fact that Mr.. Swing has
not appeared before the bar Of this
synod, and has in fact declared himself
to be an independent minister, the
synod forbears to pronounce this SEN
tence, and disposes of the case by re.
quiring the Presbytery of Chicago to
erase his name from the roll.
The Swing matter being thus ended,
the Synod adjourned sine die.

OF w. ID. WASHRURN.

1t is with great regret that the DIS
PATCH is compelled to announce to-day
the failure of w. D. Washburn of Min.
neapolis, who assigned this morning to
II. I. Welles as trustee for his crcdi.
tors. Mr.. Washburn is one of the
largest lumber dealers in the State, the
owner of extensive mills at Mime.
apolis And Anoka and also the DOS.
Sc sor of immense tracts of pine land.
His failure has been produced by the
extremely low price Of lumber the pres
ent year, and the sluggish trade at any
price. From a statement submitted to
his local creditors this morning it ap-
pears that his assets are double his lia-
bilities, and reasonable degree of
time is all that is necessary to set
him right again. Aside from his
employees, his principal creditors are
the banks at Minneapolis and capitalists
in the east. 1t is propable that an ar.
rangement will be perfected whereby
MIR. Washburn will conduct his business
in the interest Of his creditors until the
obligations are swept away. Fortunately
his principal creditors are abundantly
able to wait until his assets are made
available, and there is, therefore, no
need of apprehension relative to the in
volvcment Of others.
The failure of so enterprising and
public spirited citizen as Mr.. Wash
burn, is calamity which it would
be useless to disguise. His enterprise
has done much to advance the
entire State and the public will join US
in hoping that Mr.. Washburn will soon
recover from his temporary reverse
and be able to resume
his business with that energy
which has placed him in the front rank
of business men in the west,

The Enforcement Laws.

Judge Ballard Of the United States
District Cours of Kentucky, in answe,
to qq estions of the grand jury, as the
otienses which would be classed as
against the United States, under the
enforcement acts of 1870 and 1871, de-
clares that the crimes of individuals

would not be so classcd, and saws:
Il am inclined to think that when q
State, in its law or its judicial tribunals,
denies to some persons within its iuris-
dlctlon the protection it accords to
others, Congress may, under the ex.
pressed powers conferred upon it to en-.
force all the provisions Of the four
teenth article of the constitution, pass
laws investing the courts of the United
States withauthority to give to all its
inhabitants equal protection, that
is to afford those inhabitants
to which the State gives
the least protection, the same protec.
ton it gives to those whom it pro-
tects most. But where neither State
laws nor State courts make any distinc-
ton in the protection which they give
the inhabitants Of State, when the
State laws and the State courts give
equal protection to all, there is no
ground for congressional legislation.
There is in such cases no denial by a
State of equal protection. and therefore
no ground either in the clause of the
X1Vth amendment, which we have been
considering, or in any other clause Of
the constitution. on which to base legis-
lation looking to equal protection; or I
should rather say there is in such
case no authority in the courts of the
United States to assume jurisdiction
under laws passed, or which might be
passed to meet contingency of State
denying to any persons within it's iuris.
diction the equal protection of the
laws.

Miss Webb professed faith IN Christ in the
sweet unfolding Of her sixteenth year. Soon

Christian, faithful unto death" Her tran
gull Virtues made for her many friends. She
was an earnest Methodist in the communion
OF the Central Church in this city, ard at the
same time rejoiced in the nigh fellowship OF
all holy souls.
For years her health had been failing. but
she was hopeful, and "her daily prayer had
been that she might live TO see her grand
cnildren grown" she was a: Hot springs,

when her friend raised her to give her medi-

mother with such untirng devotion. Her re-

Music and Dauei az.

The select invitation chop" which
came of st the Grand Central hotel,
Raleigh, on Tuesday night, was without
exception one Of the most enjoyable af-
faiTs Of the sind that ever took place in
SbeiOy county. A special train lett the
Louisville depot at eight o'clock in the
evening, having on board large num-
Der Of the bellies of Memphis With their
ga liant escorts, and the narrow-gaug
train was Just about entering the
ancient capital of Shelby as Queen
Luna burst forth and lighted I'D
the Landscape. The green spreading
foliage Of the forest trees took
"a a silve. zed hue, and the moonlight
scene was truly beautiful The l.eat de-
pot at Raleigh was brilliantly ihlGin-
ated, and ls ps wero placed ali along
the line Of ti gentle ascent leading to
the Grand ho5 u. The visitors quickly
reached their destination, and while
many wandered about the adjoining
woods Others went inside the building
to examine the spacious proportion of
the magnificent ballroom, which was
brightly lighted up throughout. Ar
nOld's superb band occupied the orches-
ira, and soon the merry sounds Of a
'fQuickstepn were heard, and the
Raleigh bellies with their begux
came trooping in in large numbers
to participate in the festivities. The
visitors to the famous watering place
were out in full force. The ball WIS
opened with grand march and waltz,
and the floor presented really fine ap-
pearance. The dancing-hoor was de-
clared superb. and all had room and
verge enough, owing to its spaeiOusness.
Colonel II. T. TOmlinsOn officiated as
chairman of the floor managers, assisted
by an efficient staff of young gentlemen
who performed their arduous duties ad-
mirably. The entire arrangements
were under the personal super
vision of Colonel John Dono-
van, the president of the Raleigh
railroad, and it is almost superfiuOus to
say everything was complete and gave
general satisfaction. Mr.. NJ. McKeogh,
proprietor OF the Coleman house, was
chef de cuisine and set most superb
supper, 90 which all did the fullest JUS
tice, when the "Witchin' hour" arrived.
Dancing was then resumed, and every
body was surprised when Arnold's band,
which had been discouTsing most deli
ciOus music, struck up "Home, Sweet
HOme,n and the announcement was
made that the train would leave for
Memphis in fifteen minutes, the hours
having fitted without one in the large
assembly taking note of time. This
city was reached as day began to break,
and ail went to their homes pleased with
the nights proceedings.
