Peculiar Moderator Vote and Charlotte Articles Debate
The election for moderator yielded 84 to 67 with 20 for Alexander, no majority under 88. On the second ballot Howerton achieved 88, Cecil 76, Alexander 8, securing a majority. The Assembly largely discussed the Charlotte Article of Agreement, voting on day seven. misvotes and dissent shaped the debate. The move would form a council of reform churches with advisory rather than legislative power to guide home and foreign missions.

Also noted are diurnal notices and an advertisement for King’s Dyspepsia remedies, and a brief note on Japan halting speculative enterprise by dissolving six weeks of proposed firms with capital totaling 850 million.
