In the General Assembly.

SARATOGA, May 22.-In the Presby-
terrain general assembly to-day the
committee on bills and overtures pre-
scented partial report. An overture
had been received from the presb ytery
of New Albany, asking the general
assembly to memorabilia Congress to
enact such regulations with reference
to the personal life Of their mem bers as
will prevent the presence in the ma
tional councils Of men with immoral AMI
dissolute habits. A recommendation
that no action be taken upon the sub ect
was adopted.
The question Of theologicals in con
troll so far as the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian Church is conc earned is
settled. BY vote OF almost four to one
the report OF the majority Of the COM
mittee that considered the matter was
adopted to-day. The report provides
for gaining the power and right to ap-
prove the appointment OF professors and
directors and asks the directors of the
seminaries to declare trust In favor of
the Presbyterian Church which the
general assembly may enforce in the
civil courts.
