WEDNESDAY, DEOKMBElt 17, IS81. EVOLUTIOX AGAIN. Tho Board of Directors of tho The ological Seminary nt Columbia have :« moved Dr. Woodrow froui his I'rufrssor ship of tlio Perkins Chair of Sciences it: Raid Institution, ami in consequence of this action of tho M<>ar<l Drs. I'op-^s and Hemphill have resigned their chairs. AVe are not auHicien tly conversant with the doctrines that l>r. Woodrow has promulgate*! to he ahlo to decide if ther be correct or incorrect. N'or is it with this question we have to do. Or. Woodrow's reputation for neiontific knowledge, and his nurc Christian character are, or ought lo bo, guarantees of tlio orthodoxy of Ijis religious v'u'ws Tho prolific source. According to Archbishop Manning, of tho infidelity and tmbelief so rampant in this dny and time of high mental culture, is t'«(- worship of intellect. It is demanded by (lie ag«> that tho things submitted to its consideration shall be judged bv the standard of human reason. And applying this tost to the doctrines of revealed religion men liavc professed to find nn irrecon- citable conflict hefwoen tin* teachings of human science sun I these doctrines. and thus encouraged, infidelity grows npact: with thw wonderful growth nnd expansion of the human intellect. To meet this danger in part, «s we understand it. Dr. Woodroyr i!i all humility and with n perfect faith in the doctrines of the lliblc, seeks to show to those who demand that their reason he convinced, that there need he no contradiction twixt the Mosaic account of the crontion. nail the established truths of * progressive modern science. We do not understand that he denies or seeks to refute n single dogma of his Church. And if he can demonstrate to the satisfaction of any doubting human reason that science and the laws of reason are not in conflict with the commonly accepted exegesis of the Bible, then he has struck a death blow at the foundation of modern infi- 1 delity and has dono valiant syrvicn in "the promulgation of Divine truth. Yet at the demand of men no les«< fallible than ho, and doubtless less '.earned, he is deposed from his choir, and turned from the portals of «n institution to which ho has been an honor and an ornament. A GOOD EXAMn.K. The County Commissioners of Kdgetflold county have procured the passage of an act, allowing them to borrow n sum of money, estimated by them as sufficient to meet all contracts mack: by the county during the next fiscal year. The act empowers them to pledge the incoming taxes as a security for this loan. This is a move in the right direction and looks something like the County Commissioners of Kdgefild mean 4(0 run the business affairs of that conn- ty on business principles. We urge again upon our County Commissioners the importance of a similar step. There is no reason in tho world why the county should defraud (not in an offensive sense) its citizens of a single cent' \Ve are satisfied if tliis matter can he shown up in its proper light that our J>oard will not allow the citizens ol this county to he "shaved" any longer.

Coi.it m hi a, December 11..The "Involution"' agitation has culminated in an anion which is the subject of a lively discussion all over tho cilv to-uigh. As wks muted in Tiik Nkws ani» Couiiiek tlris morning. the board of directors of tlie l'rcshyt»rian Theological Seminary met last, night to take action in regal «l to the al 1oj5«»i1 heretical teachings of l>r. Iallies Woodrow, tlie chiirman of tin' faculty of the institution. Dr. Woodrow's ntlVnce was tho delivery of a lec,«ilc last .spring; in which In- c.-tnva>srtl the subject of evolution, an.I expressed .he belief that the ' volution 01 Adum from a l.iwer animal was not ioconsistcnt with serij 111ra 1*t anh»n-jrs. *1*11 su'>Inr»»it proceedings *»f the lour Synodsupporting the seminary h-.v.-h.-.-n >ti i«ly published ami are well I.tiovrn. The bo-lid o.' directors, not long a ter the *niiounceiniMit of Dr. Woodrow's position had exeu'put d him from bhime by a vote of eight to three. The South t'ar»lir:i Synod expressed its confidence in Dr. Woodrow, but resolved ttir.t the treating of (lie subject of evolution, except in a purely expository manner, was wrong. !'r. Woodrow k-.{ nrver assumed jlo teach it as an established fact. Tho other three Synods resolved to have evolution tabooed and, it is stated, so changer! the conipoition of their delegation of directors as to reconstruct the hoard into a body prepared to carry out their wishes. The hoard at theij meeting last evening gave out nothing ol their action Cor publication. To-day ih< result wus announced. In order to inaki. a Tall statement f incorporate the account* of Dr. Wood row's opponents ami supporters into onr presumably harmonious whole : Twelve members out of thirteen wen I l»- V ' » inr.in.in * till jllinrKT.f Mljeclcil to th<- rnro!men! as n d:rc*c!nr o| Dr. Adams, of Augusta, on the groun«i that the Georgia Synod had no ri>;ht tr remove a director and appoint anodici in his pine.

Frastrand the It-.-v Messrs. Y. I!. Law nnu W.d. McKay.the hoard requested Dr. Woodrow's resignation froiu tin: I'i-rkinj chair on the following jrrotiihIh : That throe of th<> lour Synod.-; had 11eil his views ami teachings ami had in utructed their director* to put a stop tc them, and that one Synod had condemn ed the teachings of evolution with anj intent to inculcate its truth. That Dr VVoodrow was therefore disqualify* from teaching as the representative o these Synods and was incompetent tc discharge the duties in which he mux speak in their name and hy tbeii authority. I)r. VVoodrow being waited on by t committee armed with this request, re plied in writing that, he had no desire t< teach in the name of an unwilling church but that lie could not resign withou acquiescing in- the justice of the con demnntion of his views without ^ fail trial. He accordingly demanded a ful judicial trial beforo tho board in accord ance with tho requirements of tho srm inary constitution. A paper was then introduced into th< meeting 'removing Dr. VVoodrow fron his profossorship. IVnding action 01 this the Doctor was cited to appear be fore l.he board and show cause why hi should not be removed according to tht ' desire of the Syuodsi. Dr. VVoodrow declined to appear. Tho hoard then In the same vote 8 to 4. passed the pape making the removal. Immediately after this action I'rof. VV K. Hoggs, 1). D., and I'rof. Charles It I Hemphill, D. !>., tendered their resig nations to the board ami they wen ( promply accepted. This leaves Dr (.rirardeau alone of the; faculty, an» practically sions tho thirtv-eiirht stu dent* nt the seminary from studyinj until the hoard meets again in January to fill the vacant chairs. L)r. Woodrow looked for this action and was not surprised. There is a jjoot deal of strong leeling among laymen ii regard to this action. Dr. Woodrovr ha: a large support in Columbia. From hii side of the house comics the suggestioi that the hoard can, in their own riow select no person better suited by faitl and orthordoxy to Ik* the Doctor's sue eessor in the IVrkins chair of science in connection with religion, than tlx Uev.

EVOLUTIOX AGAIN.
Tho Board of Directors of tho Theological Seminary nt Columbia have :«moved Dr. Woodrow froui his I'rufrssorship of tlio Perkins Chair of Sciences it:Raid Institution, ami in consequence ofthis action of tho M<>ar<l Drs. I'op-^s andHemphill have resigned their chairs.
AVe are not auHicien tly conversantwith the doctrines that l>r. Woodrow haspromulgate*! to he ahlo to decide if therbe correct or incorrect. N'or is it withthis question we have to do.
Or. Woodrow's reputation for neiontificknowledge, and his nurc Christiancharacter are, or ought lo bo, guaranteesof tlio orthodoxy of Ijis religious v'u'wsTho prolific source. According to ArchbishopManning, of tho infidelity and
tmbelief so rampant in this dny and timeof high mental culture, is t'«(- worshipof intellect. It is demanded by (lie ag«>that tho things submitted to its considerationshall be judged bv the standardof human reason. And applying thistost to the doctrines of revealed religionmen liavc professed to find nn irrecon-citable conflict hefwoen tin* teachings ofhuman science sun I these doctrines. andthus encouraged, infidelity grows npact:with thw wonderful growth nnd expansionof the human intellect. To meetthis danger in part, «s we understand it.Dr. Woodroyr i!i all humility and withn perfect faith in the doctrines of thelliblc, seeks to show to those who demandthat their reason he convinced,that there need he no contradiction twixtthe Mosaic account of the crontion. nailthe established truths of * progressivemodern science. We do not understandthat he denies or seeks to refute n singledogma of his Church. And if he can
demonstrate to the satisfaction of anydoubting human reason that science andthe laws of reason are not in conflictwith the commonly accepted exegesis ofthe Bible, then he has struck a deathblow at the foundation of modern infi-
1 delity and has dono valiant syrvicn in"the promulgation of Divine truth.
Yet at the demand of men no les«< falliblethan ho, and doubtless less '.earned,he is deposed from his choir, and turnedfrom the portals of «n institution towhich ho has been an honor and an ornament.
A GOOD EXAMn.K.The County Commissioners of Kdgetfloldcounty have procured the passage
of an act, allowing them to borrow n
sum of money, estimated by them assufficient to meet all contracts mack: bythe county during the next fiscal year.The act empowers them to pledge theincoming taxes as a security for thisloan. This is a move in the right directionand looks something like theCounty Commissioners of Kdgefild mean4(0 run the business affairs of that conn-ty on business principles. We urgeagain upon our County Commissionersthe importance of a similar step.There is no reason in tho world why thecounty should defraud (not in an offensivesense) its citizens of a single cent'\Ve are satisfied if tliis matter can heshown up in its proper light that ourJ>oard will not allow the citizens ol thiscounty to he "shaved" any longer.

Shutting Up T!»p Seminary.Coi.it m hi a, December 11..The "Involution"'agitation has culminated in an

Dr. Woodrow'sntlVnce was tho delivery of a lec,«ilclast .spring; in which In- c.-tnva>srtlthe subject of evolution, an.I expressed.he belief that the ' volution 01 Adumfrom a l.iwer animal was not ioconsistcntwith serij 111ra1*t anh»n-jrs. *1*11 su'>Inr»»itproceedings *»f the lour Synodsupportingthe seminary h-.v.-h.-.-n >ti i«lypublished ami are well I.tiovrn. Thebo-lid o.' directors, not long a ter the *niiounceiniMitof Dr. Woodrow's positionhad exeu'put d him from bhime by avote of eight to three. The South t'ar»lir:iSynod expressed its confidence inDr. Woodrow, but resolved ttir.t thetreating of (lie subject of evolution,except in a purely expository manner,was wrong. !'r. Woodrow k-.{ nrverassumed jlo teach it as an establishedfact. Tho other three Synods resolvedto have evolution tabooed and, it is stated,so changer! the conipoition of theirdelegation of directors as to reconstructthe hoard into a body prepared to carryout their wishes. The hoard at theijmeeting last evening gave out nothing oltheir action Cor publication. To-day ih<result wus announced. In order to inaki.a Tall statement f incorporate the account*of Dr. Wood row's opponents amisupporters into onr presumably harmoniouswhole :Twelve members out of thirteen wen

Frastrandthe It-.-v Messrs. Y. I!. Law nnuW.d. McKay.the hoard requested Dr.Woodrow's resignation froiu tin: I'i-rkinjchair on the following jrrotiihIh : Thatthroe of th<> lour Synod.-; had 11eilhis views ami teachings ami had inutructed their director* to put a stop tcthem, and that one Synod had condemned the teachings of evolution with anjintent to inculcate its truth. That DrVVoodrow was therefore disqualify*from teaching as the representative othese Synods and was incompetent tcdischarge the duties in which he muxspeak in their name and hy tbeiiauthority.
I)r. VVoodrow being waited on by tcommittee armed with this request, re
plied in writing that, he had no desire t<teach in the name of an unwilling churchbut that lie could not resign withouacquiescing in- the justice of the condemnntion of his views without ^ failtrial. He accordingly demanded a fuljudicial trial beforo tho board in accordance with tho requirements of tho srm
inary constitution.A paper was then introduced into th<
meeting 'removing Dr. VVoodrow fronhis profossorship. IVnding action 01this the Doctor was cited to appear before l.he board and show cause why hishould not be removed according to tht
' desire of the Syuodsi. Dr. VVoodrowdeclined to appear. Tho hoard then Inthe same vote 8 to 4. passed the papemaking the removal.Immediately after this action I'rof. VV
K. Hoggs, 1). D., and I'rof. Charles ItI Hemphill, D. !>., tendered their resig
nations to the board ami they wen( promply accepted. This leaves Dr

L)r. Woodrow looked for this actionand was not surprised. There is a jjootdeal of strong leeling among laymen iiregard to this action. Dr. Woodrovr ha:a large support in Columbia. From hiiside of the house comics the suggestioithat the hoard can, in their own riowselect no person better suited by faitland orthordoxy to Ik* the Doctor's sueeessor in the IVrkins chair of sciencein connection with religion, than tlxUev.
