HOUSE.

Immediately after the reading OF the
journal, Mir Wood called up the Senate
adjournment resolution and moved to
postpone its further consideration until
June SIh. The yeas and nays were or
dered.
There being number of vacant seats
on the Democratic side, Mr.. Reagan
asked if it was in order TO have call Of
the House, to which the Speaker replied
that he thoHght there was q quorum.
Mr.. Wood-For the purpose OF ascer-
tanning whether there is q quorum pres
ent, | move lha. the House adjourn.
Mr.. Hale-Does the gentleman want
to ffllibuster on his own mo:ion2
Mr.. Wood-No, sir; but l want fair,
square vote on the proposition.
The yeas and nays being taken, the
motion to adjourn was defeated.
The vote was then taken on the motion
TO postpone the consideration OF the reso-
luton for final adjournment until June
S.n, and it was defeated yeas l24, nays
1872. This was party vote with the ex-
ception of Messrs. Bell, Bland, Bouck,
Buckner, Cutler, Fuller, Harden burgh,
Lst ders, Morgan, Morse Pridemore and
Willis, of n. Y, who voted with the Re-
pubhcans. and the three Kansas members,
Messrs. Haskell, Phillips and Ryan, who
vo.ed with the Democrats.
Mr.. Wood then moved TO lay the
Senate resolution on the table.
The question being taken on the mo.
ton to lay the Senate resolution on the
table, it was rejacted-yeas 1885, nsys l3l.
This vote was the same as the preced-
ing one, exceptlr g that Messrs. Buc6ner
and Bland this time voted with their pO-
htical associates.
A vote was then taken on the Senate
resolution tor final adjournment, and
resulted-yeGs l27; nays l3l; so the resS-
luton was defeated.
The Democrats who changed their
vote from their former variance with
their own side snd voted with the party,

Mr.. Wood then moved to make the
date of adjournment the oath OF June,

RELIGIOUS WORLD,
General Assembly of United Presby'
terIans.

CAMBRIDGE, o., May 2S.-The Gener-
al Assembly of the Presbyterian Church,
which has been in session at this place, is
attended by about three hundred MINIS
tiers and delegates, and crowded house
of witnesses al each of the sessions, which
are held at 9 A. NJ, 2 P. NJ. and u P. NJ.
each day. s. &. Irvine, DID, OF Oregon,
Moderator, presides at al the meetings.
The Chairman of the Committee on
Temperance offered the following resolu-
tions, which were discussed and adopted
yesterday:
!. Drunkenness is an evil of giant pro-
portions, having inherent and appalling
mshgnity. 1t is strongly intrenched by
custom, cupldiLy and appetite. 1t works
widespread ruin in society, and destroys
mems souls and bodies.
The manufacture, sale and use Of
Intoxicating liquors, except for medicin.
a., mechanical or scientific purposes, are
unmixed evils, dishonoring to God and
destructive TO man.
To aid either of these great evils by
selling grain or hops to brewers or dis
tilleTs by making machinery for brew
ing or distillIng, or casks to contain
liquors, by leasing property on which in
toxicsting liquors may be made or sold
or drank, or by any other way, Is to
crimlaally participate IN the most sbhor-
rent sin.
4. While in certain instances, when it
results from inherent infrmity, drunken
ness may be regarded as misfortune, it
is at the same time sin against God and
ones own body, and also crime against
society.
5. Human power alone, whe' her a
pledge, al organization, or profession, or
otherwise, is entirely inadequate to the
complete and permanent reformation Of
the drunkard. Reformation from drunk
enness or any other immortality, TO be
etfectusl, must combine human effort and
divine influence.
6 The Christian Church sympa.bizes,
and should sympsthize heartily and ac.
lively, with tie honest, intelligent effort
to reform inebriates, and prevent and
suppress intemperance.
7. Christians must oppose the manu-
iacture, sale and use Of intoxicating bev-
erages by all practical methods. Legal
prohibition, moral sussion and the praC-
tice of total abstinence are demanded.
O. The Church of Jesus Christ is an
adequate agency, il faithfully consecrated
to the endesvor, for the reformation OF
inebriates and the suppression Of intem-
peranCe.

Several Senators opposed the motion
on account of the want of time to consider
the bill, as the Legislative appropriation
bill would come up at the expiration OF
