The Assembly ordered, that 5000 copies OF

The Comprehensive Church Commentary
question was taken up, and the whole matter
referred to the next General Assembly.
The documentary property Of the Church was
ordered to be put in the hands OF the stated
Clerk, who resides at Princeton, New Jersey.
The vote had been reconsdered, transferring
the Belgian Mission, in Wisconaion, from the
Domestic to the Foreign Board, and the case
put upon the docket. Il was now, on motion,
taken up, and the Assembly refused to make
the transfer.
Dr. Hoge offered resolution, that the Stated
Clerk In having the Minutes printed, be instruct
ed to leave out the Southern Synods and Pres
byteries.
Dr.. Dumont said he was not prepared to thus
recognize the independence Of the Southern
Churches, Presbyteries, and Synods, aud could
NOS, therefore, vote for the resolution.
DR.. Mcdonald also opposed the resolution.
Dr.. Stevenson did not want the Southern
Presby teries and Synods left out; but he wanted
them printed In such way as not to occupy so
much space.
Rev Mr.. Coe moved to lay De- Hoge's reso-
luton on the table, which motion was carried
The committee on that subject reported back
resolutions Of thanks, to the people of Colum-
bus for their hospitality, to the Ohio Legisla-
ture for the use OF the Hall OF Representatives
to the Superintendent OF the State House (Dr
Awl), for his kind attentions, and to the Mod
orator for presiding over the deliberations Of
the Assembly, which were adopted.
Dr.. Tustin remarked, that the committee
we're In favor Of thanking the Dolly StatesmdR
and the Daily Journal, for their full, accurate,
and satisfactory reports Of the proceedings OF
the Assembly, and that the members generally
had high appreciation vi these reports--espe.
cially, as other papers had published very un-
truthful and unreliable report-out, as an of.
fort would doubtless be made to include papeFs
that we're not deserving of thanks, II the com
mittee reported 10 favor Of any, which would
give rise 70 an unpleasant discussion that must
be avoided now, they concluded, though very
unwilliDgly, to leave all out on hat subject.
Dr. Hoge responded TO the resolutions, on De.
half Of the people Of this city and of the State,
in an eloquent and appropriate manner.
The minutes Of today were read and sp.
proved.

fern, by tho Moderator pro teHI., with the in-
junction that another be chosen 10 like msnner
