Trimble at death for murder committed
in Fayette county, because it came to his
knowledge that one OF the jurors took
several drinks the day it was rendered.
He says the question is too grave one
to the accused to have it submitted to
drunken men, and he will see that both
the juror and the sheriff shall suffer Sc.
riously for their conduct.

FPrF TBOrGHT IN SCOTLAND.

The prosecution Of DR.. Robertson Smith has
promoted the progress Of free Thought IN SCOT
land that ancient stronghold VI Calylnlsm.
II was only few years ago that the learned
divine was expelled from one of the chei pro-
fessorships Of the Free Church, and practically
from the religious communion itself, for heresy
in holding. teaching and publishing advanced
views respecting the inspiration and intalhbll-
ity Of the Scriptures. The General Assemblies
in recent session elected to prominent char
in the Free Church College at Edinburgh Or.
Marcus Dods by clear majority OF loo votes
over all other candidates. This was virtually
a triumph for DR.. Robertson Smith, for Dr.
Dods in some respects Is more advanced
thinker aud certainly is open to process ot
libel for heresy for some Of his published writ
ings He does not hold the doctrine oil plenary
inspiration embodied in the Confession OF fath
as interpreted by Cavinist ProteStants; and IN
his lectures on Genesis and the New Testament
has placed the broadest construction upon the
account OF creation, the story VI the iall ol
Adam, the myths Of the antedluvian world and
the Abrahamic legends, and made liberal al
Iowances for st. PauI's imperfect informa-
ton" apses of memory" aud errors in dates
/
contains mperfections, crudities inaccuracies
and even immoralitieS. Dr. Robertson smith
talked in the same vein and was prosecuted
for hercSy. DIR. DudSS election is a signal proof
that the rising generation Of preachers ana
thinkers in the Free Church is in sympathy
with liberal ideas of interpreting the Bible
The Scotch people attach great Importance TO
consistency in matters Of religious doctrine;
and it is only just to add that DIR. DodS's pro-
motion TO a chair where he would powerfully
influence young men i'll training Tor the hhh-
iStry was not only condemned by minority

a> a heavy blow 70 the Church and 10 old-tlme
standards Of faith. but it has also been followed
by u movement on the part OF tn" Uberal-thlhK-
ing majority Of IN" Assemblies for the rclaNa-
tioE Of the creed Of that religious communion.
Two days after the baIloting a motion was car
RED for the appointment Of committee to con
slider tho expediency Of modifying either the
Confession Of Faith or its terms OF subscription
as binding upon ministers and believers. Con
sis,eucy required this action, and it was taken
q, the instance Of one Of the oldest aud most
influential ministers in the Free Church. Df.
DUdS is 4 learned divine and man nf intel
lectual eminence; but with his critical views
respecting plcnary inspiration and the infall-
Lility Of tho Scriptures it would DO inc consistent
