Detroit Presbyterian Assembly,

DETROIT, May 2O.-The Presbyterian
General Assembly has disposed of the
reports OF the Finance and Mileage Com.
mittees., Six cents per member has been
liked upon as the assessment for Assem-.
bly, purposes for next year. The direc.
tors OF the Theological Seminary has been
duly elected by ballot, An extended and
important report from the Committee on
the Policy Of the Church, has been adopt
ed, altering the lines of certain synods,
erecting the Presbytery Of Montana, and
determining other points relating to the
internal policy Of the Church. A com.
mittee has been appointed to consider the
propriety Of adopting some uniform
method OF publicly recognizing persons
admitted to the Church, and ii they see
mt. to propose to the next Assembly appro.
PIRATE forms for this purpose.
A memorial from the Prcsbytery at
Brooklyn, on the subject OF women occu.
pying the pulpits in our churches, was
answered as follows "That there is no
necessity for a change in the constitution
OF the church, and the memorialists are
referred to the deliverance OF 1889, which
expresses the judgment OF this assembly,"
This action declares that meetings of
women by themselves for conversation
and prayer are entirely approved, but
TO teach and exhort, or lead prayer in
public and promiscuous assemblies is
clearly forbidden to women in the holy
oracles.
The assembly this afternoon discussed
o report touching the Presbyterian rela.
tions OF certain ministers of the church,
A report was presented proposing an
overture to be sent down TO the Presby.
teries :altering the Constitution 80 as as
to provide distinctly for the limited term
OF service in the eldership. A minority
report was presented, declaring the sufIi.
cheney Of theaJudicial decision already
made. Both reports were laid on the
table and the moderator, DR.. Nichols with
DR.. 3. F. Hatfield, VIM. Adams Jno. G..
Backus, Byron Edwards and T. Ralston,
were appointed to consider and report
next year upon the methods of
publicly recognizing persons received to
membership in the church. After other
items OF little or no public interest, very
full and cordial vote Of thanks was passed
to all who have entertained the Assembly
and in various ways promoted the com.
fort and pleasure of It's members. The
resolution was warmly supported by Rev.
Theodore s. Brown, after which the Mod.
orator, the Rev. A. T. Pierson, pastor of
the church, and Rev. DR.. Hogarth, were
heard from.
At little before 8 O'Clock this after.
noon q very laborious but delightful ses.
sion of the Assembly was closed, and the
Assembly was dissolved by the Modera.
tor, and another Assembly directed to
meet on the third Thursday of May, 1878,
IN the Central Presbyterian Church, in
the city Of Baltimore.

"Wheeling," published in that papef-ol
the Goth inst, OF my betrayal of conf.
dence in publishing Mr.. R. ]. Alexander's
letter, addressed to me as Chairman OF the
Wheeling & Tuscarawas Valley Railway
Corporators; it Is only necessary to say
that Mr.. Alexander Is fully able to take
care OF himself, and If it becomes necessa.
ry to mako any charges Of betrayal oI
confidence, he is fully competent to do it
The conversation Mr.. Alexander had
with Mr.. Wilson was given to me or
Thursday last. the same day It was had
with Mr.. Wilson; and was kept inviolate
and would have been so kept, Il Mr.. Will
son had not taken the very undue advan'
tage Of trying TO make capital for his fat
contract by placing the Wheeling and
TusCarawas Valley enterprise In q false
position before the people Of Wheeling
Atter the publication by Mr.. Wilson o.
his letter TO Mr.. Alexander without his
knowledge or consent, both In the Sundd,
NeIoS and Monday mornings ReoiSter, h
was well understood between Mr.. Alex,
ander and myself that the agreement o.

JACCsoN has re.appeared in a new quar-.

Maj COOPER and printed at the job office
Of GIBBENs BRoTHERs. It appears from

claims that the trust under which the pa.

the paper, good will, or. subscription list.
These Mai. COOPER claims belong to him,
and he proposes to maintain the right to
them in the courts. Whether another
Gazette will be issued from the old office
remains to be seen, publication being sus.
pended after the sale. The new Gazette
