AUGUSTA, GA, May 29.-The

tonight after a nine days session.
The question Of Columbia TbeO.

ReS0Ired, That whereas the Gen.
eral Assembly IS convinced that
Rev. James Woodrow, ID. d., one
of the professors in Columbia
Theological Seminary, holds views
repugnant to the Word Of God and
to our confession of faith, as APP
pears both by his address put lish-
ed in the Southern I'resbyteriag
Reciew July, 1884, and in other
publications, and ; his statements
made upon tn cor of this as

Therefore, this General Assembly
does hereby, in accordance with its
action yesterday IN regard to over
sight OF the theological seminaries,
earnestly recommend to the synOds
of the South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and South Georgia and
Florida, which direct and control
said seminary, to dismiss said Rev.
James Woodrow, y. D., as pro
lessor in said seminary and to ap.
point another in his place, and
especially TO take such other steps
az in their judgment will be best
adapted to restore the seminary to
the confidence of the church,

A Republican View Of II.

The result of the elections in
Richmond and Staunton. Va, has
aStonished the regular Democrats
of those cities. Richmond has long
been considered the stronghold of
the Virginia Democracy. and even
IN ;hc time of MahOnc's greatest
power remained impregnable. But
there has been growing dissatis.
faction Of the people with the mu-
uicipal government Of that city, and
q Ncarning for a reform of some Of
It's abuses.
The reform movement which has
just been successful i'm Richmond
was brought about by a coalition
between the knights Of Labor and
the Republicans. These were the
only organized bodies, and upon
these all the reform sentiment Of
the city rallied. This victory is
sweeping, and the entire city gov
crmrnt of Richmond will undergo
important changes and reforms
H. is undoubted that the long lease
of power which the Democrats have
enjoyed in Richmond has led to the
growth OF "a number of abuses.
Moreover. Richmond has never
been truly Democratic. 1t was be-
fore the war the Gibraltar Of Old
Line Whigery, and the reluctance
of those old Wings to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket has often been anus.

tween the Democrats and Wings

BILE toindge. Michigan, for instance
Is one of the most lcuient states in
the Union, having long since abol-
ished the death penalty. Yet it has
the best criminal record, with the
lowest important crimes. ltmay be
stated, on the other hand, that
Michigan administers its laws ELI
GENTLY and that no guilty man es.

Next to Michigan in the efficiency
of it's criminal laws is New Jersey /;
but there. on the other hand, sever
ity prevails. No murderer escapes
hanging, no cmbezzler gets free
from a long Imprisonment, what
ever his money or political innu-
cuce. Vermont and New lamp
shire are also models in the rgidity
with which criminal Justice is ad-
minlstered.
On the other hand politics play
an unimpoltant part IN New York
and Pennsylvania, frequently turn
ing desperate criminals loose on
the community. Pennsylvania at
the same time does a good hanging,
standing at the head of the list,
with the greatest number of execu-
tons for murder. due to Molly Ma
gnire episode Of some years ago,
when muIdcrcrs were hung by the
dozen.
Only two states in the union are
without the death penalty. Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. iowa, Nebraska
and Minnesota formerly did not
punish murder with hanging, but
they have found it wise of late to
abandon this exemption, the change
i'm the case of Minnesota being due
to the inability TO punish the YOun-

SAN JONES' WORK DORE.

From tho Baltimore American 3lstl
The evangelists closed their four
weeks work last night. They
worked hard every day, and almost
every hour, from the beginning,
and expressed themselves as satisf-
eel with the results. Sam Jones
said he had seen evidence accumu.
lating, day by day, that people
we're becoming more and more in
terested in the services. One of
the strongest proofs Of this is from
tue letters, which have increased
in number from week to week.
Hundreds of these have been from
church members who have been
stirred up to live better lives,
many more from new converts, from
wives and husbands who have ex.
pressed joy at the conversion OF
each other, and large number of a
complimentary nature thanking
him for what he aud his cOwOrker,
Small, have done. 1t is admitted
that no previous revival has been
so productive in the number of con.
versions and in the general awaken.
ing and the interest IN religious
matters. 1t is impossible as yet to
estimate the number converted.
The best informed think 1t will
reach two thousand. Most of the
converts have given their names
to the preachers and workers who
assisted the evangelists and mum.
bers have applied for membership
in the churches. 1t is wogthy of
note that from sixty to seventy.
five preachers have labored day by
day with the two speakers for four
weeks without reference to denomi-
national lines, and design to con
TRUE the work for some weeks to
come. The collections at first
were not satisfactory, but it is
believed that generous responses
have lately been made to the ex.
ecutive committees calls, and that
there will be no cause for dissatis-
faction on that score. There are
many rich men in the city who
have attended the services regular
~ who could hardly fail to help a
work that has gone so deep at
nearly every service. Many more
than could gain admission have
come. One of the most pleasant
features Of yesterdays work was
Sam Jones success in raising over
$500 in Bond Street NJ. +. Church
III the morning, and about $500 in
the Rink at night, to help a deserv.
ing case which was brought to bis
by a letter to him. Both
the evangelists spoke yesterday
and on previous days of the gener-
Gus way in which they had been
treated 10y the gOOu people OF Bal
tlmOre. Sam Jones said he had
never seen prettier women than
those here, nor did he ever hear
better singing. lie heard six thou
sand sing one morning, and they
charmed him. The wives of both |
the evangeIists and others in the
party have nothing but good words |
for their new friends.

nights ago they were aroused by
the shouts Of Il mob which had sur
rounded their house, and on the
door being opened the Red Men
took possession, tied Mr.. Keck and
his wife, took them into the woods
near by, roped them to trees and
beat them in the most brutal man
ner with hickory withes. The

The Richmond papers again intl-
mate that Malone is not dead. This
is perfectly natural, insomuch as
they have announced that he ods

adopt Mahoneism. They adopt

They extol the Blair Bill and sup
port the men who murder 1t. They
advocate protection and rejoice at
the election Of free traders. But
for the shadow Of an approaching
Republican triumph they would
have cause for mourning in finan-

in Richmond during these years,
knowing nothing OF her antece-
dents. she had been living at the
house of a man by the name OF
Crawford, who, just prior to his
death, which occurred recently, dl'
yulged the name of the girl, to.
gether with the fact that he had
stolen her from her home in Elkton,
where her mother still lived. After
his death, a correspondence between
the girl and her mother established
the truth OF what Crawford had
said, and she at once started to re-
turn to her home In Maryland
The meeting between the mother
and her lOng-lost child was of the
most affecting character.
