Fifth-Street Baptist Church (colored)
mas sixty days in which to exclude John
Mitchell. Jr, editor of the Richmond

hand Of fellowship withdrawn.
This was the unanimous opinion and
decision at the General Council, in ses-
sion yesterday at the First Baptist
Church tcoloredl. The body was COM

the First Baptist Church expelled him,

UP the question of the right of the First
Church to withdraw the hand of fellow
sliir--in other words. to sever all ties
and connections which should exist be-
