Citv Affair.
Yesterday nioniins;, nbnut 11 o'clock, a
serious n II ray occurred in a tenement house
No. liia l'l'im street, occupied by seven families.
Henry Sharkey, who occupied the second story
with his wife, jrot into an altercation with Miss
Mary Jane Smith, a ti'irl of fifteen years of ue,
who, with her widowed mother, occupied tlio
story above. The dispute was about . riii;,
which, it was ullced. Sharkey had, and which
belonged to Mr. Smith in hfs lifetime. Frotn
words the parties got to blows, and Mrs. Smith
soon took part in defense of her daughter. It
is alleged that Mies Smith armed herself witli a
hatchet, and struck Mr. Sharkey on tho head,
inflicting a llesli wound. The battle then ceased
until nltcrnoon, when it is alleged that Mr.
Sharkey made an assault upon Mrs. Smith's room,
using bricks to break a panel in the door. One
of the bricks was taken by Mrs. Smith and
thrown back, striking Mr. Sharkey on the head,
fracturing the skull, it is believed by the phy
sicians at the hospital, to which tho wounded
limn was removed shortly afterwards. Mrs. and
Miss Smith were arrested and held to await the
result of the injuries to Mr. Sharkey, who, last
evening, lay in a critical condition. "Miss Smith
denies using a hatchet, and Mrs. Smith alleges
that she acted in sell'-tlcfense.

Iu the Schoppc murder trial, now proceeding
at Carlisle, l'a., three and a half days have al
ready been occupied by tho prosecution, and
they have but one more witness to examine,
when the defense will open. The direct testi
mony of the persons who were present during
Ihe illness of Miss Stclnecke, goes to show that
she died from no natural cause, but must have
died from some violent dose, cither taken by
herself, or administered to her by the prisoner.
Dr. Conrad, of the Baltimore infirmary, testitied
that he had made the voM mortem examination,
and that the healthv condition of her orpins
proved that she died from a violent cause. I'rof.
Aiken, of the Maryland University, tcslided
that he analyzed tho stomach of the deceased,
twelve nr thirteen dnvs alter her death, and
found faint but unequivocal traces of prusbie
neid. Dr. Dittcrman, of Carlisle, who was
present during her Illness, testified that in his
opinion her condition indicated that she died
from a compound of lirussic acid and morphia.
Drs. Kielfcr, Dale, and others testified, iu answer
to n hypothetical ease presented to them,that she
died from no natural disease. The opportunity and
motive are clearly proven, and the question
rests entirely uiiou the sulllciency of the medi
cal testimony. Ou this subject the counsel for
the defense feel very hopeful. Ouo of tho
strongest ground In nrnvini? the motive was
the production of a will, dated and executed a
very short time previous to her death, which
bequeaths her entire estate to the prisoner, and
ui which ne aim in lainerare the only subscrib
ing witnesses.

London, May 27 Tho Alabama claims still
form the great theme of conversation and news
paper comment. The Times of to-day has an
article on the communications of Sir Francis
Head, which have recently been published here
respecting the case of the steamer Caroline, and
the course of the United States towards Canada
during the patriot war.
The Times says Mr. Sumner's assertions of
England's hostility to America is met by the tes
timony of American oftlclals. Abuses much
more flagrant occurred within the frontier of
the United States, for the popular feeling of tho
State of New York is admitted to have more
than countenanced tho Fenian expeditions to
Canada.
The Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, who built
the Alabama, have recently published a let'.er
giving legal opinions and extracts from docu
ments and speeches, to prove that the building
of the Alabama was not illegal. The letter has
been extensively copied, and is thus commented
on by the press to-day:
The Star says: "Laird maybe guiltless, hut
that England cannot escape the penalty is the
verdict of the best authorities, and is a foregone
conclusion."
The J'tmt say: "The vindication of the Lairds
is complete. The law was inadequate to prevent
the transaction, and the remedy lav with the
Legislature, and not with the Executive."
The Mctinlard says Laird's vindication con
demns the Government. The inadequacy of the
lawis nninsullicieutexeuse for a breach of in
ternational obligations. England's obligations
were broken for the North as well as the South.
The Americans were equally guilty of a breach
of national obligations iti the case of the Caro
line, and in Ihe case of the Fenian drillings
and organizations. The final reckoning will
give a heavy balance to tho debit of the United
States.
PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.
The I'liin Adopted by the Two AHncmhlicn In
New York-' nil Text of the Joint Commit
tee's Kcport.
This is the plan agreed upon by the joint com
mittce of the Old and New School Presbyterian
Assemblies now in New York as a basis of re
union. Last evening it was adopted:
v PLAN OF KEfNIOS.
"Believing that tho interests of the Redeemer's
kingdom would be promoted by the healing of
our divisions, and that the two bodies bearing
the same name, having the same constitution.
and each recognizing the other as a sound and
orthodox body, according to the principles of
tne contessiou common to both, cannot be lustl
lied by any but the most imperative reasons iu
maintaining separate and, in some respects.
rival organizations, we are now clearly of the
opinion that the reunion ol those bodies ought,
as soon as the necessary steps can bo taken, to
be accomplished upon the basis liercinalter set
lorth:
"1. The Presbyterian Churches in the United
States of America, namely, that whose General
Assembly convened in the iinck Church in the
city of New York on the 20th day of May, 18(i!l,
and that whose General Assembly met in the
Church of the Covenant in the said citv on the
same day, shall be reunited as one Church, under
the name and style ot the rresbyterlau Church
in the t inted States ot America, possessing al
the legal and corporate rights and powers per
taining to the Church previous to the division in
18o8. and all the legal and corporate rights and
powers w men the separate churches nowpossess.
"a. ihe reunion shall bo enected on tho doc
trinal uud ecclesiastical basis of our common
standards; the Scriptures of the Old aud New
Testaments shall be acknowledged to be the in
spired Word of God, and the only infallible rule
of faith aud practice; the Confession of Faith
shall continue to he sincerely received and
adopted as containing the system ot doctrine
taught in the Holy Scriptures; and tho govern
ment and discipline ot the rresbyterian i.uurcn
in tne Limed Mates shall be approved us con
taininir the iirinc.ioles and rules of our Dolitv.
Each of the said Assemblies shall submit
the foregoing basis to its Presbyteries, which
shall be required to meet on or belore the loth
day of October, 18C.I, to express their approval
or disapproval of the same by a categorical an
swer to the iouowing questions:
"Do you approve of the reunion of tho two
bodies now claiming the name aud rights ot tho
Presbyterian Church in the Uuited States of
America, on the following basis, namely: 'The
reunion shall be effected on the doctrinal and
ecclesiastical basis of our common standard
the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments
shall be acknowledged to bo the inspired word
of God, and the only infallible rule of faith
nnd practice; the (. oniession ol laitii shall con
tinue to be sincerely received and adopted as
containing the system ot doctrine taught in the
Holy scriptures; and the government and (lis
ciphne of the Presbyterian Church in tho United
Slates shall be approved as containing the prin
cipics and rules ot our polity.
"Each Presbytery shall, before the 1st day of
November, 180!l, forward to the Stated Clerk of
the General Assembly with which it is con
uectcd, a statement of its vote ou the said Basis
of Reunion.
"4. The said General Assemblies now sitting
shall, niter finishing their business, adjourn to
meet in the city of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, on
the second Wednesday of November," lSli'J, at 11
o clock A. M.
"If the two General Assembles shall then find
nnd declare that tho above-named Basis of Re
union has been approved by two-thirds of tho
Presbyteries connected with each branch of the
Church, then the same shall be of binding force
and the two Assemblies shall take action accord-
Incly.
"5. Tho said General Assemblies shall thou
nnd there make provision for the meeting of the
General Assembly of the United Chnrch on the
third Thursday of Mav, 1870. The Moderators
ol tho two present Assemblies shall jointly pre
side at tho Assembly of 1870 until another Mode
rotor is choicn. The Moderator of tho Assetu
blv now sitting at the Brick Church aforesaid
shall, If present, put ull votes, decide questions
of order; nnd tlio .Moderator oi mo otuer Assem
blv shall, if uresent. preach the opening sermon
und the stated clerks of the . present Assemblies
shall act as 6tated clerks of the Assembly of tho
United Church until a stated clerk or clerk
sbiill have been chosen thereby; and no com
uilssioner shall have a right to vote or deliberate
in said Assembly until his name shall have been
enrolled bv the said clerks, and his commission
examined and filed umong tho papers of tho
Assembly.
"o. Each Presbytery of tho separate churches
shall be entitlud to the same representation In
the Assembly of the United Church in 1870, as
h is eniiued to in the Assembly witu wmeu it l
now connected."
CONCURRENT HECLARATIONS.
"As thero are maiteri pertulni to tho late
rests of tho Church, when It shall have bocotne
reunited, which will manifestly require adjust
ment on the eominp: together of two oouios
w hich havo so long acted separately, anu con
cerning som oi wnicu manors u is uikioj "
lrablo that there should bo a previous good
understanding, the two Assemblies agree to
adopt the following declaration, not as articles
of compact or covenant, but us In their Judg
ment proper and equitable arrangements, 10
Wit:
'1. All the ministers and churches embraced
n the two bodies should be admitted to tho same
standing in the united body which they may
have held In their respective connections up to
the consummation of the union.
'2. Imperfectly organized churches arc coun
selled and expected to become thoroughly rres
byterian, as early within the period of Ave years
as may be permitted by the highest interests to
be consulted, and no oilier cnurcues snau no
hereafter received.
'3. The boundaries of the several Presbyteries
nnd Synods should be adjusted by the Goneral
Assembly of the United Church.
"4. The ollicial records of the two branches of
the Church for the period of separation should
be preserved, and held as making up tne one
history of the Church; and no rule or precedent
which does not stand approved by both the
bodies should be of any authority until rc-esfab-
lL-hed in the united body, except in so far as
such rule or precedent may affect the rights of
property lounucd thereon.
"5. The corporate rights now held by the two
General Assemblies, and by their Boards and
Committees, should, as far as practicable, be
consolidated, and applied for their aeveral ob
jects ns dell tied by law.
Mi. lhcre should lie one set ot i:ommittees or
Boards for Home and Foreign Missions and tho
other religious enterprises of the Church, which
the churches should be encouraged to sustain,
though Iree to cast contributions Into other
channels, If they desire to do so.
'7. As soon as practicable alter the union shall
have been effected, the General Assembly should
reconstruct and consolidate the several per
manent committees and boards which now
belong to the two Assemblies, so ns to represent
as far as possible with impartiality the views
and w ishes of the two bodies constituting tho
tinted Church.
'8. The publications of tho Board of Publica
tion and of the Publication Committee should
continue to be issued as at present, leaving it to
the Board of Publication of the United Church to
revise these issues and perfect a catalogue for
the United Church so us to exclude invidious
references to past controversies.
"'.). in order to a uiiiionu system 01 ecclesias
tical supervision, those Theological seminaries
that are now under Assembly control, may. If
their Boards of Directors so elect, be translerrcd
to the watch and care of one or more of tho ad
jacent Synods; aud the other Seminaries are
tdvised to introduce, as lar as may lie, into their
constitutions, the principle of Synodical or
Assembly supervision, in which case they shall
be entitled to an ollicial recognition and appro
bation on the part of tho General Assembly.
"10. It should be regarded as tho duty ot all
our judicatories, ministers, nnd people in tho
United Church to study the things which make
for peace, and to guard against all needless and
offensive references to tho causes that have di
vided us; and in order to avoid the revival of

Church prior to the controversies that resulted
in the separation.
