of morality and good government this

Grant this morning said that his father
had passed better night than he did
on Sunday, when he slept for eight
hours. The General feels bright and
comfortable to-day.
Because his last two drives have
been followed by increased pain in the
throat, General Grant has grown ap-
prehensive, and for that reason he did
not drive to-day. Besides that, the
first printed sheets Of his book had
been brought to him for revision and
insertion Of new matter, and most OF
the day yesterday was devoted to that
work.
After he had seen the General in the
afternoon DIR. Douglas said he thought
he was freer of pain and was feeling
better than at any time within two
months past.

The Northern PresbS ietlaIis.


CINCINNATI, ONO, May 26.-At
the Presbyterian General Assembly
this morning, after dispoSing of the
business from the standing committees,
the resolution and amendments con
corning the suliiciency Of Catholic bap-
tism came up. DR.. G.. 7. Hayes. of
Colorado, opened the debate, saying :
The plea is made that the minimus
Of truth being retained, the corruptlons
that ovcrlie it do not invalidate the
minimum. If we believe that there is
truth enough in thi, Church. we act in
consistently in sending missionaries to
South America and New Mexico to Ia
Dor amongst Catholics.
Rev. c. X. Burnley, Of bennett, y.
Y, said We are on the verge Of dan
ger. | believe that it is dangerous to
pass the resolution. BY 30 doing we
put into the hands Of the Roman Cath
ole priesthood and every devotee Of the
Keenan, Catholic Church just the weapon
they have been looking for.
DR.. Worrall, of New York, spoke Of
the ability Of pastors. as well a. the
illogical professors and other learned
men, to decide upon this subject. He
was opposed TO the amendment. and
spoke Of the reason he had for favorins
the original resolution. He declared that
the Reformers themselves did not hold
that the Catholic Church was the
Church that Luther had said himself,
- She is a hopeless spostate."
DR.. Alfred YeomaIs offered the fol-
lowing resolution
Ressired, That it is the decision of
the General Assembly that its last de-
li,ersnce on the subject Of RomiSh bap-
tism, leaving the question Of rebaptiSm
to the decision Of the session in which
the question may arise, does recognize
the validity Of such baptism, while it
does not enjoin upon the session the
admission Of Roman Catholics into
their communions without rebaptizing.
This Assembly reaffirms the decision
of 1875 as its deliVerance at this time.
The decision of 1875 is as follows
That the decision of the question be
left to the judgment Of each church ses-
sion, guided by the principles govern
ing the rules concerning baptism as
laid down in the standards Of our
Church.
DR.. C. A. Dickey, of Philadelphia,
would like to have offered another
but did not do so because
two amendments we're already pending.
DR.. J. T. Brownson, Of Washington,
Pa, moved to Law the whole matter on
the table. Carried unanimously.

A CRAZY RIDE.

a Lively Ride.


Lively Ride.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
MACON, GA, May 2G.--Jesup, Ga,
is the meeting point for trains Of the
lower division Of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad, and has a
negro character known as "Crazy
Bill" Early yesterday morning q
freight train Of thirty cars, bound for
Macon, was waiting the arrival Of the
passenger train from Macon. Bill stole
into the locomotiye-cab, blew the whis-
tie, and started off, shooting over many
switches, but keeping the track. The
lunatic ran the train five miles, but was
stalled at the foot of hill, as the water
in the boiler ran low. The engineer,
yard-master. and others on seeing the
train leave ran after it, and found it at
the hill. The lunatic on stopping blew
a signal for the switchman and then sat
down on the end Of cross-tie, and was
found there by crowd reading his Tes-
lament. He was secured and no time
lost in side-tracking the train, which
was accomplished just as the passenger
train came up. But for the stoppage Of
the freight, it would have met the pas
ssnger train in frightful collision.
The lunatic was placed in jail and will
be sent to the asylum. The only dam
age done was the tearing up of the
track in the yard at Jesup.
