WASHINGTON PREspYrERY.
Its Action NJ 90 Making the synod a Dele
gated BODY.

An adjourned meeting of the Presby
terry Of Washington city was held in the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church yesterday morning,
Rev. DR.. Wills, moderator, In the chair. Chief
Justice Drake presented the following paper,
which was adopted ain view OF the probability
that, Mt the ensuing session of the Synod OF BalH
more, the question will come up whether II shall
be proposed TO the Presbyteries TO make the Synod
delegated body, as authorized by tho recent
amendment OF the constitution Of the Presbyte-
Ran church, the Presbytery of Washington city
deems II oxpodient TO make the following express
sions; First-Tho Presbytory IS Of opinion that II
would be proper to make tho Synod delegated
body, in order TO give n fair trial Of n sys-
TEN which has received the constitutional
sanction of q majority Of all the Pres
byieres Second-The adoption of that system
Is not understood as being irrevocable,
now existing system may be returned to when
ever majority Of the Presbyterles composing the
Synod shall so order Third-In the event Of Its
being decided that the Synod shall be composed
of equal delegations of bishops and elders elected
by the Presbyteries II would, In the judgment Of
this Presbytory, be judcious aud expedient that
the delegates should be elected on the basis Of
utes ofthe General Assembly. Fourth--Until other
wise, directed, II would. In the opinion Of this
Prosbytery, be expedient for each Presbytery TO
elect one bishop and one elder for every 600 COM
munieants so reported, and one Of each for any
fraction more than one.half of that number.
This would authorize at first synod Of ffty-slx
members. IL after experiment thfs number should
be diminished and the number Of delegates con-
sequently increased.

animation, Mr.. Christiancy frequently objectng
through his counsel to the assertions of his wife,
In the Of her testimony Mrs. Chrlstancy re-
ferred To her life since her marriage, and laid
special stress upon the actions Of Mr. Christiancys

that she was taken into family OF five sons,
FOUR Of WHOM WERE DRUSKARDS,
and who frequently came Into her presence in.
tOxcated, bOislerous, and quarrelsome. AT the
table the boys would quarrel with their father,
and broken Crockery was often the result. She
assumed entire control Of the housework, and had
for an assistant girl of fifteen years, who was OF
very little use, The sons, after being locked up
IN the guard house for spree, would come home
In most debased condition, and she would have
to clean up the house and mend their clothing,
which was generally torn into shreds on such
occasions. In reply TO statement In tho cross bill
that she had several times threatened 10 apply for a
divorce the witness said II was not true. When
she left Peru she came TO Washington, but said
nothing TO any one about the treatment she had
received. She had the same facilities and grounds
for divorce then that she had now, but she had de-
clined to take such action as she was opposed to It,
No specific acts OF cruelty were testified 10 beyond
those already given, and the examination was
concluded amer an hours session.

THEATRES LAST NIGHT.
a Funny Play at Ford's-A 'Big Attraction
at abe National.

The magnet which drew full house ut
Ford's last evening was Haverly's Star Comedy
Company in widow Bedott" with Mr.. c. b..
Bishop In the title role. Among those present
could be seen many Washingtonians, who had
laughed themselves hoarsc over the Widotps
foibles when Mr. Bishop played his last engage
ment here December 10 to 20, 1850, and that they
found the star just as funny as ever was amply
evidenced by their spasmodic commissions of
mrth during the progress Of the play.
The author, Mr.. d. II. Locke, {" Petroleum V. Mas
by" was In his happest vein when he wrote this
comedy and in Mr.. Bishop he has found Eli artist
more than equal to the satisfactory portrayal of
INC HUMOROUS and peculiar character OF the
UtdOW' Win h"inost of actors In q part OF this
nature where there are so many opportunities for
mnklnHghe humor at least Questionable, If not
Coarse and vulgar, there is often. pal
Ga6le u, inclination to take liberties with
In Mr. Bishops hands the wit incident to his rem.
dition of the IidO,0 Is clean and pure as well as
sparkling and irresistible. The play has been
dramatically reconstructed since It's former repre-
sentntion In this city and materially strengthened.
While Mr. Bishop still finds ample scope for his
talents, some very effective work in the same line
is accomplished by Mr.. Sol Smith as the Elder.
In fact, did we not have II Bishop we would
be entirely happy with a Sol Smith;
was accorded him and was well deserved
The balance of the company acquitted themselves
crediably in the parts assigned them, Mr.. Farren,
as Tim Crane, making quite hit, and the vocal
isms by the Misses Elliston md Creese, with Mas
ter Renner, made very fayorable impression
every evening this week and on Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons.

Justin Kaiser, John Ockershausen, and
Paul Burke, bakers, were before the Police Court
yesterday charged with selling bread below the
standard weight. The court fined them So for
each loaf, making SIS for Kaiser and $50 for ock.
ershausen, Burke was charged with having
eighteen light loaves In his wagon but he forfeited
$50 collateral. Mr.. s. O. Mills appeared for the de.
PENDANTS and nrgued-iirst that the bread was not
offered for sale and then that 1t had shrunk after
being baked. The judge howevers imposed the
fines stated. and Mr. Mills appealed There was a
general raid on the bakers the officers of the mid
night relief being instructed to examine all
bakers wagons and weigh the bread. From the
fact that so few captured It Is supposed that
most OF the bakers must have learned Of the in
tended oyerhauling.

Manager Albaugh can afford to dismiss
from his mind all anxiety with reference to bust
ness at the National this week, lie has an attrac-
ton that will draw like loadstone. The mere
announcement that the Kiralfy "Strogof" would
be given sullccd to fill the house better than at
any time this season, except during the opening
week; and through the long evening and the
tedious waits almost impossible to avoid on n first
night Of great spectacular piece the audience
sat patiently, and felt amply rewarded when at
half past eleven they lefth house. Barring these
waits and other defects which were attributable to
the same cause and which will not be noticed
hereafter, the great play was most admirably
put on and rendered. Gratifying as the
production was, 1t was evident that 1t would have
been still better If the stage was but larger The
scenic effects are magnificent the ncton of the
piece Is spirited the situations are thrilling and
The ballet has never been eQuned In this city Since
the early and best days Of the "Blacl; Crook"
with 1t all there is breezy bracing air of healthy
hardy manly struggle about the story which Is
wonderfully Interesting, So that,whiiG the atten-
ton is closely held throughout, the mind is left at
the close brighter more vigorous and healthier
1t is strong, clear yirile production, well worthy
of the patronage Of the public. Every night this
