PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The Presbyterian
Assembly to-day heard the delegates ap-
pointed to visit the Assembly at Louisville.
The delegates presented a communication
from the Southern Assembly, replying to
overtures for union of the two churches,
which states that the Southern church does
not approve of union because it is a total
surrender of all fundamental doctrines, and
embraces all shades of belief, and these are
impossible barriers to any official inter
course between the, two churches.
The delegation bringing the communica.
ton also submitted their report, showing
what action had been taken at Louisville.
Several representatives then present made
speeches, showing in what spirit the South
ern assembly had been directed in their
opinions. 1t was thought the report would
be received, and the committee discharged.

The Law of She ROad.

This is very important decision, and we
hope fast drivers of drays and other vehicles
will heed it:
In recent case in Boston, which arose
from boy having been killed by street
railroad Car, District Attorney May, in
closing for the government, explained to the
jury the law relating to the right of the
road, and cited a number of authorities to
sustain his Interpretation. His view of the
law is somewhat different from that which
generallA prevails, and totally at variance
with thecommon practice. He stated dis
tinctly to the jury that the rights of foot
Passengers in the act of crossing streets are
first and foremost, and superior to those of
any drivers of teams. He said the drivers
must stop to allow foot passengers to cross
streets, no matter whether they were cross
ing on tagging stones or not. and ne told the
jury that IN case either of them were cross.
ing street, and the driver interfered with
or attempted to interfere with their free
passage across the street, to use their stout
canes, if they had any, on the intruding
horse, and intimated that an application
of the cane to the driver might be of better
service

Internal Improvement South.

Internal Improvement south.
The Chicago Republican has this very
sensible editorial:
The Southern mind seems to be waking
up to projects of internal improvement that
would be worthy of Northern enterprise. A
proposition has been submitted to the
Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans for
the construction of a ship canal from that
CITY to Barratara Bay. cutting off one hun
dred and twenty miles in the present river
route to the sea, and for a system of cut-offs
along the river, from Cairo down, which
would shorten the route four hundred
miles more, reducing the distance nearly
one.half. By making use OF some OF the
deep bayous parallel to the main stream,
there is no reason why such work could
not be constructed, though the job would
be large one. 1t is estimated that 1t
would reduce the cost of towage, If locomo-
tives could be used along the canal por.
tions, from $3.50, the present price, to S5O
for each vessel, and that wheat could be
conveyed from Cairo to Liverpeol 1or Ten
cents. instead of twerty-three, as now
charged.
We are glad to see the Southern people at
least talk enterprise. In a few years every
route to the sea. board will be choked with
the surplus products of the country. no
matter how many are opened, and the polnts
that secure the trade will be those that nave
earned it by sagacity and foresight. new
Orleans has the natural advantages to make
a great city, if her people will wake up ana
work with will tosgive them due develop
ment. In haifx century more, those bot
tom lands will,ewarm with millions Of pop
ulation. and there is no calculating theAx-
tent or value 0f their business. = e s. {

Ludlow streea Jail to Await Trial ON
q Charge Of q Breach Of Promise-
Miss Ada f. Meyers Amdavlt Before
tho Hon. Abe H. Hummel.
from the New York SUM-
In the Supreme Court yesterday, Coun-
sellor William F. Howe made application to
Judge Cardozo, in behalf of Ada F. Meyer,
for an order of arrest, under section l79 OF
the Code of Procedure, against Robert
Schroeder, to recover $4,000 damages for
breach OF promise of marriage. The plain
tiff is a'maiden of respectability and educa-
ton. In May, 1869. she became acquainted
with Schroeder, and the acquaintance ulti-
mately ripened into mutual friendship and
| attachment.
| Schroeder, who is wealthy merchant car
! rying on business in this city, after having
promised to marry Miss Meyer, went to his
residence in Mayence, on the river Rhine,
and remained away until October, 1869,
when Miss Mayer met him in Broadway, in
this city, and demanded of him reputation
tor the serious wrong and injury he had
| done her. She swears that Schroeder then
| and there advised her to keep quiet, and
made very ardent protestations of love, and
| again promised that he would soon make,
her his wife, even making an appointment
| to 60 with him next day to minister and
| get married. 80,
Miss Meyer accordingly waited for Schroe--
| in consequence Of the appointment, and he
! called upon this plaintiff and took her in his
| private carriage, when they were, according
| to his instructions, driven to private resi-
dence in Harlem lane, where some person
representing himself to be minister of the
gospel, and whom the defendant represented
| to be minister of the gospel, performed
what purported to be a marriage ceremony.
| Relying on the honesty and candor Of
Schroeder. and fully believing that she was
his lawful wife, Miss Meyer continued to.
| live with him in different hotels in this city
| as his wife, and was always introduced by
| this plaintiff as his wife.
At length Schroeder became cold and in
different and treated Miss Meyer with
| cruelty, and when she asked him to ratify
promise which he had msde to take her to
Germany as his wife, he sneered at her and
said that the marriage ceremony performed,
| was mock ceremonial, and that she was-
not his wife.
Such is the substance of Miss Meyers.
affidavit. Judge CORDOBA granted an order
holding Schroeder to bail in ten thousand
dollars, which order was immediately exc
cuted by Deputy Sheriff Bancker, and in
default of the forthcoming bail Schroeeer
was committed to the care of Warden Tracy,
of Ludlow street Jail.

Our CITY Council Reports.

The official reports of the two meetings of
the City Council, which are laid before the
readers of the REPUBLICAN this morning
with such graphic clearness and complete
ness, will repay an attentive perusal.
Not least among the points of interest OF
the general meeting are the report of the
spirited discussion on the firemen's excur-
sion appropriation; new dog ordinance,
now for the first time made public: an i'm
portant communication on the subject OF
the Southern Paving Companys contract,
and complete list of the appropriations
for the past month.
The special meeting held yesterday after
noon involves the departure of Mayor
Flanders and Administrator Walton for New
York, and the appointment of Mr.. Emley as
Mayor ad interim, as well as the approval of
floating debt obligations to the extent OF
nearly million and half dollars.
This full exhibit of the proceedings of the
city government, down to the smallest peti.
ton, is in marked contrast to the system
formerly iu vogue of smothering all public
information between the two mattresses of
the upper and lower board, with the Mayor
seated atop to keep all quiet.

The skirmish at Huntingdon reflects as
little credit on the steadiness and prowess
of the Fenian soldiers as the previous
skirmish at Pigeon Hill having been equally
contemplate, though not quite so farcical
and ridiculous. It seems that the men fed
as soon as fred upon, and that their COM
mander, General Gleason, quilted the scene
Of action in disgust. When the men were
put to the proof, they were found to have
no confidence in themselves, their leaders,
or their cause. As soon as they had crossed
the border they took position and in
trenched. Intrenchment is sign of mis-
giving and weakness. 1t was ridiculous for
an invading army to put itself Immediately
on the defensive. The only thing now to
be done by the Fenians to retrieve their lost
fortunes is to do what every sensible man
in New Orleans does-buy tickets in the
Louisiana State Lottery.

The SENATORS AND THEIR CLoTHEs.-I
Wish that most of the Senators would wear
better clothes. 1t would not disturb my
individual peace if every man here looked
like a scarecrow. Butas q sovereign citizen
| have both pride and prejudice concerning
the high assembly. l have disinterested
desire that every man in it should represent
the finest type of American gentleman.
hood-that he should act like a gentleman :,
dress like gentleman and keep his hands
out Of his pockets. This is what very few
of the Senators do. Most of them sit with
their hands in their pockets, walk with their
hands in their pockets, talk with their
hands in their pockets. To see dozen or
two men thus posed at once, and a greater
number carelessly or unbecomingy attired,
is sufficient to detract very considerably
from the appearance of the assembly as an
assembly. 1t does not add to the Senate
rial picture, either, to see through the open
cloak room door company of these august
statesmen tipped back in their chairs, their
feet in the air, their mouths full of cigars,
their heads enveloped in smoke. Of course
nobody questions their right to smoke and
''lop" in the fit time and place; but, gentle
men, wouldn't do it within sight of the
Senate galleries Mrs. NJ. @. Ames.

This is much the largest amount collected

collection was nine-twenty- y-tifths, or a frac

Colonel Stockdale deserves credit for the
