The Southern Presbyterians.

SrAuSroS, Va, May 26.-At the ses-
sion OF the General Assembly to-day Dr.
Mullaly presented Q formal protest to
the action OF the Assembly in sending
iraternal greetings 10 the Northern AS
sambiy. The protest insisted that the
Northern Assembly should have taken
the initiative, as that body had wronyed
the Southern Church and that wrong
was as vet uuatoned for. Another rea.
son given was that the signers opposed
any tendency to surrender the distinctive
Independence OF the Southern Church.
The protest was signed by Drs. Mullaly,
Patterson, Fletcher, ID. l.. Young and
George White, and was admitted to
record. The Moderator appointed q
committee to prepare q reply.
The retrenchment and reform ques.
ton was decided AGAINST the reforIners
by a vote OF l23 to s. A protest against
the action of the Assembly was entered
by Rev. Taylor Martin, on the ground
that freedom had been denied to the
committee on revision OF the book OF
worship.
Dr.. Adger. Chairman, presented q re-
port of the many alterations made in the
r, Wis on OF the most important omission
OF all forms except the burial service

THE CASE OF PkoF. ROBERTSON SMITH
IRELAND.

Probable Strike Against the Payment Of
Rents.
DUBLIN, May 26.-It is probable that
the next movement OF the Land League
will be the Inauguration OF q strike
against all payment OF rents. This was
hinted at recent meeting in Dublin.
Several speakers, including Mr. Kettle,
the chairman, and Mr.. Harrington, Of
Tralee, stated that the people are now
prepared talarry out the Land League
principles to the end. They bad been
exasperated By the arrests OF Mr.. Bren-
nan and Father Sheeby. The arrest Of
the latter was denounced as foul in.
suit to the Irish people. Loud cheers
greeted the suggestion that payments OF
rent should be suspended, and it was
spoken Of as an impending national
demonstration. At the grand review in
Phoenix Park the Lord Lieutenant was
very coldly received. Not cheer was
raised either as he entered or left the
ground. Even the splendid marching
OF the Guards and the brilliant man@u.
vres which followed failed 10 elicit the
slightest enthusiasm.

This note, il is said, was sent to such
members as had not already

who are known to ne unwilling to give
expression TO their sentiments. The
division remains to night the same as It
has for the past "a hours, and there
il not the least chance OF it changing
before the day OF the election. next
Tuesday. The rumor that the Demo
Gratis will aid the Conklingites ii they
will vote for Democrat was renewed
again, but the Democrats point to the
fact that they have called a caucus as
a sufficient denial. Tie dead lock. and
there is a certainty oi one, will have to
be broken some other way. Ii Is also
said that Mr. Conkhng will make
a public address on Monday
evening, in which he viii
saw more than was expressedin a letter
of explanation. A leading adherent oi
the Conkling section to-day, pronounced

claimed tonight that the Conklingltes
secured fifty signatures to their caucus

in favor Of the maintenance Of the regu.

Some OF the Democratic Readjusters, II

A Recess Until After the Fall Election
Talked Of-Ths Great Bashi BaSouk

can Just from New York, and who spent
several days there, says Conkling can
not be reelected at present, and that
Conkling's friends kuow ii. One plan
much talked OF by Conkling and the
Stalwarts, is to make a short fight and
then bring about recess OF the Leglsia'
ture with the understanding that the
Senators shall not be elected until
after the November election; that ii
the election shall show the sentiment
of the Republicans Of the State to be
Stalwart and with Conkling the present
Legislature shall again meet, and then
Conkling will claim an election.
III something like this is effected Conk-
ling will 90 right to hard work to make
the Stalwart sentiment assert itself In
every locality and for every officer to be
nominated and elected. This Senator
saws Gonk ing will endeavor TO defer
the Senatorial election because he can
not muster the force to win now,
and should the legislature take recess
Co:.kllng could DO much during that
recess. This Senator further says the
Republicans OF New York are anything
but confident OF carrying the election this
fall, and that 10 postpone the Senatorial
election takes the issue into the canvass
and divides the party, while the Demo
Gratis seem inclined TO heal up their past
differences.
