Prime Minister Floquet in this Chamber or
Deputies last evening resulted in duel
Tho two gentlemen. attended by their

tor himself was a Philadelphia druggist

confidence 10 Er. Eastburn's judgment and

him in getting the right place.
Thus the stranger ratified and Mr.. East.

that he had a farm lying near the Red

The Error in the Minutes ofthe
General AsSembly.'

Two prevalent impressions, as to this
matter, seem to demand a brief state
ment.
lst. That the Permanent Clerk would
send to the Presbyteries some explana-
tion besides the one which he has pub
hshed. He sends, as a circular, to Stated
Clerks, that candid article-nothing more.
I'd. That the one mistake in the tran
scribing of the written Minutes for pub
licstion settles the matter. This is not
the fact.
That mistake was in writing two thirds
for three-fourths in the original overture
from Lexington Presbytery.
The correction of this mistake leaves
the question still in greater doubt; and
there is no further written correction.
The printed Minute, as corrected by
the written one, would show lst, page
2O7, that the Assembly docketed the re-
commentator, that the overture be not
sent down to the Presbyteries in its ori-
ginal form, ! e., requiring three fourths
vote of Presbytery for organic union. I'd,
page 23l, that the Assembly finally re-
fused to send down the overture in this
form, and never changed it.
That the Assembly did change three
fourths to two.thirds is, by the Permanent
Clerk inferred from certain action record
ed, page 236, where DIR. OTIS is allowed
to record that he seconded and advocated
an overture requiring two.thirds vote
OF Presbyteries in such cases.
II, therefore, Presbyteries vote on the
overture, they will vote on three infer
ences, neither Of which is sustained by
any record, either printed or written.
lst. We must infer that DR.. Otis referred
to the Lexington overture. I'd That it
was changed from three.fourths to two
thirds. Sd. That it was sent down TO
the Presbyteries.
The last recorded vote does not say
anything of two.t thirds or three tourths
and says the Assembly declined to send
down, by adopting the reporto the com.
mittee on Bills and Cvertures. See page
23l. P.B.P.

A scene, such as IS rarely witnessed,
occurred last week at a meeting of Bethel
Presbytery, in Purity church, Chester, S.
@. 1t was the licens ng of the fourth in
a line of ministers of The gospel of Christ.
The newly made licer tiate is Mr.. Edward
Mack. His father Is Rev. J. B. Mack,
D. D.; his paternal g grandfather was Rev.
William Mack, D. D., and his maternal
grandfather was Rev William Banks,
and his great-grandfsther was Rev. John
Harrington. And, more remarkable still
the widow of the last named, the young
preachers great-grandmother, was pre-
sent to hear and see him sent forth to tell
the glad tidings of great Joy 1t was a
scene long to be remembered. G. S.

The First Sabbath of May.
OFFICE OF FOREIGN MISSIONS,
Baltimore, Md, April IL. 88.

J
On the first Sabbath of May our
Church is called to make her supreme
effort in the year for the cause of For
align Missions. During the year Just
closed nine missionaries have been added
to our force in the field. The additions
to the churches at the mission stations
have been greater than ever before. The
contributions of the churches at home for
this cause have been $4 900 more than in
any previous year. Ali expenses of the
work have been fully paid no debt rests
on any part OF it, and the year closed
with balance on hand in the treasury.
Our Lori thus encourages His Church to
attempt great things for Him and to ex.
pect great things from Him.
At present seven missionaries are
under appointment to go out. Let us on
the day appointed by the General Assem-
bly,, by the largeness of our gifts, pro.
vide the means for sending out, not only
these men and women, but others also,
who may offer their service.
The cali from the mission fields is now
80 loud that it would seem that the most
indifferent Christian must be aroused to
action. All Japan lies open before us,
yet it is stated by the Rev H Ballagh
for more than twenty-five years mis-
sionary to that land, that OF the 81 mil
