this fate hes in the good sense Of those
who have never shown any good sense
thus far, IN the tolerance OF those who
have shown nothing but intolerance, in
the political sagacity Of those whose
most conspicuous contribution to our
political history has been the act of a
party OF maniucs. The outlook is not

political equality securely within the
power of the negro, was strongest at the
start, and in Its twelve years struggles
merely grew weaker from day TO day:
Its failure leaves Us helpless and the best
that we can hope for is that some an
tOreseen circumstances may avert a fate
which so many of our citizens are invit-
ing. Fortunately there is reason to be-
heve that great deal Of the Southern
intolerance, bitterness and bgotry will
pass away in the flush of triumph, and
it is even possible that the solemn prom

may come wisdom, and, through wis

a Joyous deer, she shook back her sunny
curls, and with a whole poem in her

wilIiul neglect OF family worship, etc,
under amended specifications II and ".
The court after patiently listening to the
testimony, and the arguments of counsel
on both sides, for six days, and after
prayerful consideration of the whole case
and careful examination of the testimony
find the first charge admitted to the e,i-
tent expressed in the following paper,
which was laid before Presbytery by the
accused, and adopted, as meeting all
the requirements of the case, and pres ant-
ing just grounds for staying all proc eed,-
ings under charge first, to wit:
TO the nresbytery Of luget Sound.

II, p. DUNNING.

The Court unanimous ly find the second
charge gesustained in part and adopted the
following paper as expressive OF said
findings
The Court tint' the charge against the
accused of abusive, i'll treatment of his
wife" nptsustained To he extent of per-
sonal violence but su stained to the ex-
tent of harsh words Willie under the ex-
citement Of temper, aroused by accusa-
tions injurious to his character as hus.
band and Christian minister. The
Court find the ch'rge against the accused
of 'neglecting family worship" not sus
tained to the ext ent of its being constant
or habitual, but that family worship was
sometimes omm,ittGd on account OF mat
tiers over which he had no control. The
Court also find, that on single occasion
the accused did not ask blessing, or
give thanks, in connection with the TAX
ing OF regular meal.
In consequence Of the above finding
the Presbyte ry decided upon the follow
ing as theiI judgment: The Judgment
of the Presl,ytery is that Rev. II. P. Dun.
ming shall be rrproved in open Presbyte-
ry by the Moderator Tor the conduct
which has led to the foregoing findings
of the Court; and admonished to set a
guard upon himself that he transgress no
more in appearance or word; ever re-
membering that the honor of our Lord
is solemnly committed to his care, that
the eyes of the world are upon him, that
the welfare of immortal souls may be
jeopardized by his conduct, that min
lister of Jesus Christ should ever be a
shining light rejecting the blameless life
of his Divine Lord and Master, and that
the domestic circle of the under-shephard
of Christ's flock should never be aught
less than a model christian home.

he carried in his pocket. The ball en-
