to express his disapproval of the measure,
and ne had no intention to make any per-
sonal allusion to anybody. He very much
regretted that any exception should be
taken, or that he was under the necessity of
withdrawing those words. Laughter. He
desired to make the fullest apology to the
House for having used the words.
Mr.. McLane then withdrew his resolution
but Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, offered another
resolution ccnsuring Mr.. Van Toorhis and
advocated its adoption, claiming that the
retraction did not wipe out the offence.
Gentlemen should not say on this floor what

The question then REQUIRED on the Iesou-

find no precedent for q resolution of censure
after an apology had been offered.
Mr.. HERBERT don't know whether there

to all who bear the name of Baptists and
hold their faith. The subject was "The
Baptists and the People," or what can be
done to broaden and deepen the principles
of Baptists among the people?
Rev. c. Tyree, d. d., made the opening
address in plain words of good advice and
wise and timely suggestions, coupled with
encouraging statistics of the progress of
Baptist principles in Virginia and the
world. The speaker entertained all present
in one of the best addresses with which the
Congress has been favored. There was no
Baptist brag no disparaging comparisons
with other denominations. He noted the
fact that there are more than two hundred
thousand Baptist communicates in the State
of Virginia
He was followed by Rev. ". " Landrum.
the young and talented pastor of the Second
Baptist Church of Richmond. He is new in
the State and this was his first introduction
to his denomination in Virginia. His varied
talents won the admiration of Virginia Bap-
lists and all were sorry for Georgia but Glad
for Virginia. He was pastor Of the First
Church of Augusta
The Welch orator, Phillips, was called on
fora few remarks and his wit and wisdom
were largely enjoyed Wharton closed in
one of his pathetic speeches. Hsone point
was The Baptists believe the Bible and all
