NEW YoRK, May 24.-By the ar
rival of South American mails we have
full details of the assassination of the
South American General Urguiza.
which took place on the 11th of April,
in Buenos Ayres. The scene was
frightful. The General was shot in
the mouth By band of political OPP
ponents who broke into his house.
His two heroic daughters attempted
to defend him, and the eldest killed
one of the assailants.
The murder was one of the incl
dents of the new rebellion now rag
ing in the Argentine Confederation.
General Lopez Jordon. who is a
son-in- law of Gen. Urguiza, has sur
rounded the palace of San Jose with
four hundred men. Upon the killing
of UrRuiza, the troops all marched
upon Conception where the Legisla
ture was then sitting, and surrounded
the town, which up to the latest re-
ports, held out.

moving the charge OF desertlon Iron sol,
diers who had served out their term ana

ed. The bill to revive American navlga-
ton and commercial interests was as
cussed at length. The House, by avote OF
85 to 81, refused to order the main quess
tton to be put. One or two contested cleo
ton cases were disposed o.: Tne Consular
considered in Committee OF the Whole.
Voorhees,, of Indiana, wanted to drop SAM
tiago De Cuba from list of ConSulates, and
made a spread-eagle blood and thunder,
demagogical speech, denouncing the
Secretary of State for imbecflity, &C., and
heapfng up such epithets as blackguarGs
most readily command. Banks thought
the reasons urged by VOORHEES, for the dis
were the strongest reasons
that could be offered for the continuance
ef the consulate. Logan thought the Gov
ernment had neglected too long to express
It's sympathy for Cuba. Sargent and Gar
field took part in the discussion. Garfield
ridiculed The statement of Phillips, the
Consul, and represented him as undeserv-
ing of credit, having despoiled bis prede-
cesgOr In Ofice, General Steadman, who
wife and family any account whatever
of the circumstances of his death, or
making restoration of the money and
effects he had taken possession of. Logan
knew nothing about Phillips. One thing,
however, was true, that American citizens
had been shot and killed by blood-thirsty
Spaniar6s in Cuba, and that American
citizens were not safe there under the
American flag. No government ever sat
so quiet as the present Administration,
whiIe the struggle is going on between
oppression and liberty. AS to the inen-
ciency of the Navy. If the United States
had not permitted naval vessels to be sup
piled to Spain, there would not now be a
strong Spanish fleet In Cuban waters.
Dawes contended that the Navy was
strong enough, If it had been efficiently
managed. Mungen favored the recOgnt-
ton of the belligerent rights of the Gu
bans as ali that was necessary to protect
Americans there. The discussion was con-
tinued until interrupted by hail-storm
pattering on the glass roof, when the Com
mittee rose and the bill was reported to
the House and passed The House again
went into Committee of the Whole on the
Post once Bill, which appropriAtes S24, :
no. ,O93 from the Post Office revenues, and
S725, 900 from the Treasury. After discus
sion on the letter-carrter system, some
members adding an increase of pay TO

adjourned.

Presbyterian Assembly Meeting at
Louisville,

LOUISVILLE, May 21.-The most
interesting discussion of to-day In the
General Presbyterian Assembly, was
on the subject of lay preaching. One
of the boasts of the Presbyterian
Church is the high standard of edu-
cation required of her ministry. A
year ago the assembly authorized the
licensing as exhorteTs of men who had
not received this thorough training.
One of the Presbyterians requested
that this authority be withdrawn, and
the request gave rise to a lengthy, an
imated, earnest and able debate. This
question comes up again tomorrow.

A dispatch from Gen. Hancock,

at present.

Session or the Reformed PresbytePi-
an Synod at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, May 24.-In the Re.
formed Presbyterian Synod, the entire
day has been consumed in the discus
sion of the question of a union with
the United Presbyterian Church on
the terms agreed upon by the Joint
Committee, which was substantially,
that the Churches should form an or
ganic union on the basis of principles
contained in the respective testimo-
nies, and other subordinate standards,
and that the name of the Church
should be United Presbyterian. The
discussion was opened by DR.. Nc
Master, Chairman Of the Committee,
who spoke one hour and half. He
traced the history OF the union move
ment from 1888, down to the present
time, and urged the reasonableness of
the terms agreed upon by the Joint
Committee, and the necessity upon
the church to move.
In the afternoon, Robt. Guy, of
Philadelphia, and venerable DR..
Clarke, of Nova Scotia. spoke In op-
position to the proposed union; both
dwelt upon the venerable character of
the church; the purity of its doctrines
and practices; claimed that the rea-

testimonies and usuages were not so
cOnformed to the customs of the
world. Each spoke in great kindness
of other members of the Presbyte-
rian family, but thought it would not
be best at present to consummate the
proposed union.
Rev. M. Harshaw, of Illinois, fol-
lowed In a speech that was listened TO
with marked attention, no less by the
opponents of the Union than by its
friends. His statements were made
with so much candor, his appeals
were so earnest and touching, and his
demeanor to the opponents so kind
aRd considerate, that the Union cause
was strengthened. He said the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church COM
menced well. but its forces had been
scattered. The descendants of the
fathers of the Church were not now
with it; at least in the West. There
was something the matter somewhere.
Great agencies had to be employed in
t. is age of the world; colleges, schools
and the press must be brought into
requisition. We must have home aud
foreign missions. These agencies the
United Presbyterian Church already
had.
A recess was taken till half past z

the committee, having the floor.
