TALMAGE'S TRIAL.
THE PULPIT GYMNAsr FREE
Final Scenes of the Trial-Talmage
Acquitted-Vandyke's Peculiar
zeal-Taimage would Ra-
ther be Catholic.

New York, May SIN the Brook
lyn Presbytery to-day, the final vote
was taken, on the charges against DR..
Talmage. The secretary announced
that forty-five votes had been cast,
twenty-five of which were against the
charges and specifications and sixteen
In favor of sustaining them as they
stood and four for sustaining them in
part.
The Rev. DR.. Rockwell offered a res
olution that all evidence having been
clearly disproven or fully explained as
to any guilty purpose or intent of de-
ceit, that the charges be dismissed and
that the Presbytery hereby express to
DR.. Talmage its heartfelt confidence in
him as minister of Christ and its de-
sire that he and his church may share
abundantly in divine blessing.
DIR. Vandyke at once gave notice of
complaint to the synod, in regard
to the manner in which the trial had
been conducted. There were various
other reasons expressed, one of which
was that the moderator had secretly
brought DR.. Talmage and the Rev. ].
W. Hathaway together whereby they
entered into covenant not to testify
at the expense of one another's charac-
ter. Moderator Ludlow denied this
assertion so emphatically that DIR.
Vandyke withdrew it.
DR.. Talmage then asked leave to
make a few remarks and said he felt
happy and was thankful to the counsel
who had defended him so ably; thank
full to his brethren and to the press for
the fairness and generosity with which
they had reported the case. He should
go out Of this trial with increased
hatred for everything like sectarianism,
for he had had the sympathy of the en-
tire Presbyterian church, handful of
this Presbytery excepted.
He had also the sympathy of the
Methodists, Congregatlonalist, Reform
ed Episcopal, and the Roman Catholic
churches.
Though he was a Protestant in one
respect, he would prefer to be in the
Catholic church, for they had but one
pope, while in Protestant denominations
they had hundred.
He pronounced his benediction ON all
of the committee who formulated these
charges. They would not hear one of
his friends, but spent weeks in gather
ing up all the venom of his enemies and
the action of that committee had made
more infidels than all of them will ever
be able to make Christians.
He thought the senior member of
this committee would have been very
careful about making this scandal be-
cause of his own past experience.
Some Of their brethren said they
didn't like his preaching. He just as
much disliked theirs.
His way of preaching was poor
enough, but he knew theirs would never
save the world.
In conclusion, he prayed for the
members of the Presbytery and their
families, and commended them to
God.
DIR. Talmage then left, and as he was
going out Rev. Mr.. Green, who was
on the committee, jumped up and said
DR.. Talmage had been guilty of another
falsehood in what he had said in refer
ence to the committee.
The Presbytery then adjourned until
Monday.

New York Press on the California Con
stitution.

stitution.
New York, May 9.-The Commercial
Bulletin, under the head of ''Alas for
California" thus concludes an editorial
review of the new constitution: ''There
can be no doubt that the Pacific coast
will suffer very severe retardation of
progress from this blind outburst of
demagogism, but those to suffer most
quickly and most severely will be the
very class that have made the revolu-
tion.n
The Erening Post heads leading
editorial 1.-The Calamity in California, -
and says the act is bad one, but it has
not been unprovoked. Enormous cor
porations and exacting monopolies
have long and notoriously pushed their
selfish DEGREES in California to extremes
that have weighed heavily upon the
people, and warranted their discomfort.
Yet, in spite of the gloomy outlook,
there are some rays of light. The en-
forcement of considerable part of the
new instrument is practically, if not
explicitly, left to the discretion of the
legislature. The more the constitu-
tion is examined and discussed, the
more clearly will its injustice and its
fallacies be perceived and appreciated.

As to Parole

London, May 9.-The Sportsman says
Parole won yesterdays race in the com
monest canter. 1t delares that there
can be no question but that he is a
good horse, but it don't think he is
much to be feared by Engligsh owners

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

SENATE.
Washington, May 9.-The house bill
providing for the payment Of money,
heretofore appropriated, to James B.
Eads and his associates for the con-
struction of jetties and other works at
South Pass, Mississippi, was passed,

by moving the previous question, and
the bill passed.

understand it. He acknowledged that
he had been then in the same situation
as great many of his friends were
now, and knew nothing about this
financial question, but he had new
light now.
He denounced the national banking
system. and when Conger and others
propounded the questions he said he
was willing to answer them singly, but
didn't want the whole syndicate at
once. Like the boy who allowed an
other to pull an end of India rubber,
while he held the other end in his
mouth, the stretching was all very nice
but the contraction was what hurt.
He would offer, at the proper time, an
amendment directing the secretary of
the treasury to cause to be paid out,
without discrimination, the standard
silver coin same as gold coin, in iqui-
dation of the coin obligations of the
government. He denied that the
greepback party was an imitation party.
1t was in favor Of gold, silver and legal
tender paper money, all issued by the
government, not by banking associa-
tions, and all of full legal tender quail
ties. 1t was not in favor of any wild
scheme. When the American congress
said that it would not enforce a law
but would allow the heads of the de-
partments to violate it, it was setting
an example that might be dangerous; it
was sowing the dragons teeth; it was
sowing wind and would reap whirl-
wind.
Haskell inquired what the difference
was between soft money democrat
and a greenbacker, to which Weaver
replied, that there was no difference
except that of organization.
Heilman opposed the bill, and said
the best thing that congress could do
was to do nothing ana go home. The
world was governed too much, and the
papering of the country with bills and
resolutions might as well stop for
while.
Warner stated that he would demand
the previous question on Tuesday next.
Adjourned.
