For the first time in the history of the Presbyterian church, the Synod of the Stale tret at Butler, last week, and wheu the delegates (some two hundred in num ber) arrived in town Thursday ftiorning. they not only found a handsome, capacious and beauti tally decorated church-room in which to h-ild their meetings, bu also that every arrangement had been made for their comfort and entertainment. Their sessions began at 11 a. m. Thurs day with a sermon by the moderator, Rev. Earner; followed by roll call, and when the n< nn hour arrived a number of tbe boys ot tbe C. E. brigade in uniform con ducted the ministers to th-iir places of entertainment. That afternoon Rev. Loyal Young Gra ham of Philadelphia, a native of Butler; Rev. John B. Stockton of Mercer, and Rev. Bain of Altoona were placed in nom ination tor Moderator; but KeV. Bruce of Franklin who nominated Rev. Stockton made so strong a sectional appeal tor him that the other candidates withdrew and he was elected by acclamation. Then Rev Oiler welcomed the Synod to Butler and referred to some ot the cele brations of the church here, said that everybody welcomed the Synod to Butler excepting the feathered songsters of :uo barnyard, who would be made to contrib ute to their comfort etc iloderator Stock ton responded to the welcome. The com mittee on arrangements reported a program for the Synod; and the Moderator appoint ed the different committees. Friday afternoou the Synod list"ned to a number of addresbes on the proposed million-dollar Memorial fund, including one address by ex-Gov. heaver, and the ynod voted SIOO,OOO to endow a chair in lue Allegheny Theological Seminary. Saturday was occupied in hearing and discussing the reports of tho Committees, and some of tho discussions on chnrch cases now riade famous wero very livelj . Bicycle riding on the Sabbath and Sun day excursions were denounced Christ ian men were urged to vote against tbe granting of license for the liquor traffic, and all were urged to see that the laws were enforced. Cnfermented wine was recommended for the communion. Rev. Dr. McCauley's case was reported on by tho commission, of which Rev. Dr T. M. Maxwell was chairman. Secretary Hays read of the finding of the commis sion, which sustained the action of the Philadelphia Presbytery in suspending Dr. McCauley tor his immorality. Dr. McCauley is a married man, 73 years ol age and has been preaching for 40 years The judgment aud sou tence of the Presby tery was unanimously affirmed, and it was ordered to record the finding on tho min utes of the synod. On Sunday the pnlpits-. of most of the Protestant churches of the t own were fill ed by delegates to tbe Synod, and some Vory able sermons were delivered. On Monday the wine question was the subject of another lengthy debate, and the "anfermcnted" again won the day. The Washington-Jefferson college mat ter, the West Elixabeta and Bdrgetistown, cases, anil other cases were also gone ove:, and towards evening the Synod adjourned, without knowing where they will meet next year. Moderator Stockton made the closing remarks, and he was very appreciative of the hospitality ot the people of Butler. QPITK a nurnbes of tho del egates to the Synod visited and were shown through the Plate Glass Works. TUB plants were furnished and the church room decorated by W. H. H. Riddle Esq. The Twofold Assault [Communicated.] The unanimity of the American people all matters periainiug to our public eduea tion, unhappily, is now disturbed by twn gfave controversies A s;, MIUOUS demand is made, in the name ol justice and tali play, that paroohial or sectarian schools be supported out of tho public treasury. An eqdaily strenuous, aud thus far more suo cesslul, assault lias been made against thi readu gof the Bible in thy schools aud against all religious ideas or exercises in the school room The great ci'ies of the west and north west anl some whole states like Wisconsin nave plaoed their whole work of education upon 'i purely and avowedly seculur basis. For tue citizens of Pennsylvania this whole quea'.ion has been lifted into new and unexpected importance by a suit now p nding in the Courts Lackawanna county to restrain, by injunction, the reading ol the Bible and all religious exersises in th< schools of the borough of Waverly. What ever he the decision in the County Courts the case will go by appeal to the Supreme Court of the State, and ihe decision then will determine the attitude of Pennsylva nia toward the christian elements in hei pub'in education. A committee was (ormed some time ago under the auspices of the National Reform Association, with headquarters in Phila delphia, for the defease of the public schools. This committee is seeking to bring the whole question, in its present aspect, before the people of the whole state. A public meeting will be held in the United Presbyterian Church on Fridai evening, Oct 25, at which Kev. T. P .Stevenson, D. D., of Philadelphia, Corres ponding Secretary of the Committee, will address the citizens of Butler. All who are concerned that our public schools be maintained against »ectaiiau encroachments 011 the one hand and atheis tic or secular assaults UDon the other, ara cordially iuviteJ to be present.
