Capt. Gee. D. Wise, Commonwealth At
torney for the City of Richmond. in his
speech in the Crittcnden case, stated that If
there was not stop to official stealing, the
entire Treasury of the State would be stolen.
This sounds pretty large, but when it is all
boiled down it don't amount to much. A
few weeks ago Cynthie Kurtz, one of our
corporation officials, and we believe county
officer, also, had claim against the Com
monwealth of SIS. He sent it to Richmond
to be paid. 1t was returned, with the in
formation that there was no money in the
Treasury. Now if the State could not pay
old Cynthie this meagre amount, what
would be gained by stealing the Treasury?

'fhe clerk then proceeded to read the char
ges, and vote was taken separately on
each.
Specification first, wherein Mr.. Miller de-
MES the Immortality of the soul, was read,
and 30 ministers voted to sustain the charge F.;
none voted against them. Specification sec
ond, which is based on that portion OF the
book which asserts that Christ Inherited a
corrupt nature as a child OF Adam, was read.
Mr., Miller asked whether il this specifica-
tion was sustained did it argue that he
taught that Christ inherited Il corrupt ma
ture. He received no reply, and the voting
was proceeded with. The 80 ministers an
swered to their names in the affirmative, and
the specification was sustained. Specifica-
ton third was then taken up. The charges
that Mr.. Miller teaches that there is but one
person in the Godhead, which is contrary to
the Confession of Faith. The vote on this
specification was unanimous. A vote on
sustaining the charge as originally made,
embracing all the specifications, was then ia
ken with like result. The following reso :
luton was then read by the clerk:
Resolued, That Rev. John Miller be and is
hereby suspended from all communication
with the Presbytery of New jersey, until
such time as he shall make manifest his re-
to hold, and avOws his solemn purpose no
longer to proclaim them.
Mr.. Miller, after the reading OF the resolu-
ton, slowly rose to his feet, and, running
his hand over his broad, intellectual FORE
head, said he would never change his views.
sGod forbid that should say won't, but
rest assured will not" He said he would
rather be deposed than suspended, aud that
he did not intend to preach or promulgate
the doctrines contained in his book. The
Moderator then arose, and said all those who
are in favor OF the adoption of the resolution
signify by saying ''yes.'' Thirty voices re-
Piled in the affirmative, and when the con-
trary was called not voice was raised
against its passage. Mr.. Miller then handed
the clerk communication, which, upon be-
ing read, was as follows:
''Mr. Miller desires to give notice to the
Presbytery of New Brunswick that he con-
siders it his duty to appeal to the Synod of
New Jersey to set aside the decision of the
P-esbytery.' The communication was re-
ceived in silence, and the Moderator arose,
digest in hand, and read as follows: "Where-
as you, John Miller, have been found guilty,
in the Judgment of the Presbytery, of the
sin of heresy, by writing and publishing a
book containing doctrines contrary to the
Confession of Faith, we do declare you sus-
pended from the ministry of the Presbyte-
rian Church of New Jersey, until such time
as you shall make manifest your renunca
ton of the errors you have been found to
hold, and avow your solemn purpose to no
longer proclaim them. Mr.. Miller had risen
to his feet while the sentence was being pro-
Eounced, and remained standing while the
prayer which followed was being offered.
The session then adjourned until tomorrow
morning, when it will re-assemble for the
purpose of transacting other business. Mr..
Miller will appeal the case to the Synod.

Upon the Presbytery reassembling at
O'Clock, the roll of the members was called,
and those who chose had an opportunity to
express their views on the charges. Rev.
Mr.. Kennedy said that before he read the
book he thought it could contain nothing
but what could be explained away, but in
this he had been mistaken. He thought it
was belittling the work of God to write and
promulgate such doctrines as Mr.. Miller held.
He was in favor OF sustaining the charges.
Rev. Mr.. Hegcman held that the book did
not teach that there was no Immortality of
the soul; the true meaning OF the passage on
which this charge is based was misconstrued.
But he did not agree with Mr.. Miller in all
things. This was trial for heresy, and
was grave charge to make against minis
ter of the Gospel. The speaker thought that
it should be defined as an offence in violation
of some principle Of the church. When Mr..
Miller's book came out, continued the speak
er, and denied the doctrine Of the Trinity,
was shocked. have read the book through
and through carefully, and prayerfully, and
I am not ashamed to say that l agree with
Mr.. Miller as far as regards his doctrine OF
the Trinity; thank him for writing that
book. Mr.. Miller admits in the book. and
here before lis, that he holds to the Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost. I think there was o
IutStthc nduc ny LIC ldOuCAS VI tAC CNuTCu
in naming the three, Trinity. It seems to
me that there is nothing vital i'll the charge,
and justify Mr.. Miller as far as he speaks
Of the Trinity; SO do all here. We should
have proceeded against MIR. Miller's book,
not against him. Instead Of condemning
Mr.. Miller for what he has done, we should
thank him for the ideas he has brought out.
There Is altogether too much mystery con-
nected with our doctrines; we should not
keep them locked up but rather ventilate
them. l would not vote to sustain the char
ges for which may believe that my soul
may 90 to Heaven and be with God when
die, some other man may come along and
say that God will come and spend a thou
sand years ON earth, end may be left out
altogether. The speaker concluded his re-
marks by asking to be excused from voting
on the charges, as he was relative of the
accused Pastor. His request was granted
by a unanimous vote.
With very few exceptions, all the other
members waived their right Of speaking.

Nessrs. Gauy Matthews, Ct. ais. Committee:
GENTs--Your proposition to settle debts
for advances made during the year at % per
cent on the cash prices Is received. The
proposition is a fair one. and more advan-
taveous to the merchants than the way
they are now settling with their customer,
by allowing them liberal credit price for
their cotton.
Rut as business men, the merchants fea T
that your proposition is not practicable Is
the association able and willing to make a
settlement in full for all its members who
are in debt? If the association can not
speak for and be responsible for all its mem~
bers, then the practical operation IS that
each individual would have to state his own
business. If SOme-aS there always are
who will not be able to settle on this basis,
and have 10 crave indulgence and be carried
over. then the proposition of itself tails to
the ground, and leaves the business Of the
country to be settled on tho e time honor
ed rules which have prevailed since the
world was created, to-wit: each individual
TO make his own contracts privately ana
settle them accordingly.
The merchants are sincerely DESTROYS to
save the credit and confidence OF their pa
irons and if they will come up according
10 nromise, each individual in his own prl-
yate capacity for a settlement they will be
met with a liberal and Just spirit, and we
Know that the poor class who are deeply
In debt and not able TO pay, will have

ment made than they could obtain, or has
ever been proposed, from any other source.

Any person visiting this city might spend
a month here among merchants and bust

thought and energy to the reconstruction

to the colored man, now thai he is paid reg

OF a Republican is just as safe as in any

the courts and civil officers are protecting
the cOlored people III their rights, and the
better and the larger portion OF the whites
are sustaining the courts and officials. IL
many parishes, however, there still fingers

show that they have no real Or genuine an
tipathy of the Northern man, here is a cir

farmers from the West, having bought a
tract of land a piece on Bayou TeChe near
franklin, each 100 acres in extent, and de-
string to erect buildings thereon tor the ust
of their families, were assisted by five
neishbOrinG farm ers two of whom were
colored. When the buildings were finished

front doors were hung with flowers, the
Stars and Stripes were lung to the breeze

were called, were introduced to all present,
welcomed to the place, and, amid hearty
Misunderstanding, Joined IN an old fashioned
Virginia reel. After their guests had de
parted the two farmers happily found
themselves the posseSsors of variety of
fowl, and a lamb, around the neck OF which
was a blue ribbon attached, to which was
