A ooLoRED PASTORS TROUBLE.
Brickbats SHED at Him by His Con.
gregation.

An interesting case was tried in the city
court yesterday in which William Jourdan
(colored) was acquitted of the charge of
assault and battery upon J. L. James. a
colored lay preacher of the Baptist persua-
sion, Rev. James was the prosecuting
witness. The assault was alleged TO have
been made upon james on the night of
April 81.
1t appeared that Rev U. i. Houston.
pastor of the Bryan Baptist church, had re-
quested James to fill his pulpit, which did
not meet with the appreciation of all the
communicates Of the church, some of the
congregation leaving the church while the
lay preacher was attempting TO teach the
beauties OF christian charity to the satisfied
and the disgruntled factions. After tho
services were over aud the Rev. James
went outside to bsstride his mule and pro-
coed to his country place, some one SHE'D
brlckbat at him which he alleges struck
him on the head. He thought he recoy-
nlzed Jourdan as one of the group from
which the missile came.
The Indignation among the brethren over
Jourdan's miniStrations, it appears, arose
from statement that the Rev. James, who
speeds the plow of agriculture as well as
the gospel pillow, had gone cunning for some
thieves who we're making raid on his corn
patch when roaSting-ears were ripe for
pluckiug. If Rev. James would nave no
more consideration for thief than to fire
load of bird shot at him as the thief was
making off vita his plunder the directors
were unwilling to hear him preach until
after the rural divine had been sat
upon by church committee and
found not guilty of protecting his truck
patch with shotgun instead os trusting to
prayer-in fact those who mad the minister
under the ban thought that he should have
obeved the divine injunction to watch aud
pray and not watch and shoot.
The paraon evidel ly mad had some expert
ence in that line before from the incursions
of those who coveted his possessions, and
who, while being wrestled for in prayer,
would get away with his corn.
1t does no. appear that any Of the minis
ters blld-shot pa c5ured the anatomy of
of the urespassers, but.the attempt, and not
the deed, seems to have lost him favor with
some, aud resulted in his beiug received
with an indifferent welcome inside the
church ediice, and speeded away on his
mule with stones after his sermon
