The Aupustuna SYNOD.

MOLINE, H., June l5.-At this mornings
session Of the Augustana synod the report of
the committee on resolutions, presented yes
terday, referring to the appointment of
now constitutional committee, was the
special order The committee reported u
new committee appointed, consisting of one
mcmber from each conference; that
each conference should also elect a

making the committee consist of one clergy

fuses to Surrender Him.
Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, has re-
fused to comply with a requlsition upon him
from Governor Thayer for the arrest of
Moses Levy, a fugitive from justice, who is
now sojourning at Union City in that state.
Some months ago the firm of Cornbloth
g. Pelzer, merchants at Norfolk, failed under
questionable circumstances. Believing that
their action was prem editated, and had as its
motive deliberate purpose of defrauoing
creditors out of just dues, they were arrested
and confined In the Madison county Jail.
The authorities, it seems, had reason
to believe that Levy was implicated
with them in their nefarious scheme, and
an officer came here searching for him. 1t
was learned that he had gone to Tennessee
and located IN Union City. Governor Fhayer
was at once applied to for requisition on
Governor Taylor, which he issued, and
the officer to whom it was delivered
left Immediately for Nashville, expecting, of
course. that he would find IL an easy matter
to get hls man. But because the crime was
not stated in the requisition, Governor Tay-
lor refused to honor it. This neces-
STATED considerable delay in getting
new papers, and in the meantime
both Cornblath and Pelzer have given bonds,
been released from custody and are now in
Omaha. Since some of their largest credit
ors live here, the case is of considerable IN
