strain;n~ the CITY Treasurer from paying
certain c;tv emnloyes until our municipal
affairs arc settled by the courts, as Iar ~
the street hands are concerned. lhc suec'
denartment. for certain reasons, was sur
rendered fo the committee appointed by
the Council on July 1st, and has been op,e,,
rated Inv that committee ever since-tnc ola
dcn,rfment retiring. There has, there
fore. been but one set OF enpioyes
in this department. II was urged that
Tho nroncr working OF this depart
ment is necessary to, the maintenance
az the sanitary condition OF the CITY. Inc
mon employcd to do this work are OF
class that need pay for their labor. These
facts and others were laid before Judge
Weisigcr. who is at the Allegheny Springs,
bv the CITY Attorney. and the Judge very
nromptlv dissolved his Injunction, as far
rs this particular department is concerned,
and directed the City Auditor to pay the
street force for the time they have been nj

4 meeting OF the Tabb-Street Church
congregation was held yesterday after
morning service, over which Rev. DR.. A.
Shotwell, Of Richmond, presided as mode
rator. A letter was read from DR..
WitherSpoon resigning the pastoral charge
OF the church, which he has held for nearly
nine wears. He announces that he had
reached this decision through much pain
and conflict OF spirit. lie resigns for no
want OF cOntentment with his lot here. On
the contrary. so tender and strong is the
love he bears the congregation, and such is
his sense Of their uniform kindness, that il
il were the Lords will he would esteem
himself happy to spend the remainder OF
his davs here. He assigns as the reasons
which influence him to accept the call to
the First Presbyterian church in Louis
vile rs follows First, the field for etlec-
tive ministerial labor in large and grow
ing city like Louisville is far wider and
more hopeful than in smaller and less
tlOurishing Onc second, there are pecu-
har features connected with the position
which seem in the providence OF God to
open to him ga great and effective door,
and to give to the call IN imperative
ness which he dare not disregard;
third, he has reason TO believe that
both in respect OF climate and
comparative rest for few yeats from pull
pit preparation, he shall be able to accom-
plish more with his limited physical
strength than he could do here. Under
these convictions he feels constrained to
ask OF the Prcsbytery a release from en-
gagcments with the Tabb-Street church
and dismissal TO the PrcSbytcry OF Louis
vile. The letter was received with much
sadness by the congregation. but in re-
Spouse to Or. WIthcrSpOon'S request, no
objection was raised.
Resolutions were adopted reluctantly ac-
ccpting the resignation and uniting in
wishing PrcSbytcry TO dissolve the pas-
toIal relations for the reasons stated, and
cordially commenting DR.. WitherSpoon to
the church at Louisville and the people Of
that city aS a true man, a faithful and able
minister, and sincere Christian gentle
man. ROBIN ADAlR.
