special Correspondence of state journal.
DENTON, Oct 2-Tbs Caroline county
court convened here yesterday, Judge
Stump on the bench. The other judges,
Robinson aud Wioks will arrive To day.
There will h4 ap unusually shof, term,
lastlag nnt longer Than tArer or four
days.
There are no civil suits of impor lance
to he disposed of. On the criminal
docket there are two caaeB attracting COT
siderable attention. One is the Seward
case. Miss Emma Johnson, the young
woman who was outraged by william
Seward, was beiore the grand jury
yesterday. That body will doubtless
lind a. indictment against the accused,
but as his arrest has not yet been made
he will not be tried His hiding place
is unknown, but he is thought to BIZ still
concealed in the neighborhood, near
Henderson, where his wife and several
children live. There has been little
effort toward his capture, and Johnson,
the father of the young woman, still says
he will shoot him on sight.
Another notable case is that of Thomas
G. Atkinson. who is indicted for attempt
ing to kill William Singgold. Atkinson
shot Ringgoid in quarrel over peaches,
and his trial would have come up
before this court at the April
session, but at that time he was in the
custody of the United States authorities,
charged with uttering counterfeit money
in Centreville. Atkinson WAS released
by the Government authorities because of
his failing health. 1t will now be urged
by his counsel that the excitement of
trial would be attended with serious If
not fatal results to the accused.
Atkinson is under the care of two ply
soans who are of the opinion that he
would never recover from the disease
| from which he Is now suffering, hemor-
rhages Of the lungs, If confined to prison.
It ia not yet known whether a postpone
ment OF trial will be granted by the
| Court.
The session will be distinguished by
having two divorce oases brought up for
| settlement.

THE SYNOD OF BALTIMORE.
Its Annual Session to Convene In
West Nottingham Presbyterian
Church, October 10th.


The Synod OF Baltimore which COM
prises the presbyteries OF New Castle,
Baltimore, Washington and Rio Janerio,
Brazil, will hold It's annual session in
the Presbyterian church at West Noting
ham, Cecil county, Md, about Ave miles
above Port Deposit, beginning on the 10Th
inst. All the Presbyterian churches in
this State, Maryland, the District Of Col
umbia and missions in Brazil, s. A, are
under the Jurisdiction Of the presbyteries
above named. Until last year each
church was entitled to send its pastor as
n delegate to the sessions OF
the synod which made that
body unmanagsably large and the
rule has been modified go as to give
one delegate from each OF the four or five
Presby terrain churches within the juris-
diotion. By this new regulation which
makes the synod a representation body
there are about SO delegates in all
representing the four Presbyteries. THIS
reduction enables the synod to hold its
sessions in smaller towns or country
churches, where Its influence is felt most,
as entertainment can now be obtained for
all the delegates, which was not the case,
heretofore until last year. Aud for the
first time in its history the synod this
year holds its session in country church.
The synod bears, in church matters,
relatively the same position to the Gen.
eral Assembly that the Circuit and Dis
triet Courts do to the Supreme Court. 1t
has the authority to settle all cases of
discipline, and matters touching the con.
stitutiop of the Church. Formerly every
appeal could be carried to the General
Assembly, but under the present law but
few appeals are taken to that body. The
chief business OF the synod relates to the
benevolent works in the Church and re-
ports are read from.different boards which
perform offices in this line OF work. The
synod's relation to the Church since 1t ia
representative body ia through the
presbytsries.
There will be about 10 delegates named
to represent the Presbytery of New
Castle, two of whom will be Wilmington
psstora. They will be chosen at the
presbytery's meeting, which oonvenes
this evening at Dover.
The exercises OF the synod will be
opened on Friday evening the 10Th inst.
with sermon by the retiring moderator,
the Rev. Samuel Ii. Howe, d. d. The
session will last four or five days. The
Rev. Lafayette Marks, d. D., pastor of
Hanover Church this city, is chairman of
the committee on bills and overtures, and
the Rev. A. N. Keigwin, pastor OF West
Church, is chairman OF the COMMITTEES on
temperance.
