Adams offered a resolution that there be, two secretaries of the new Board of Domestic Mis-. Bions now to be constituted, which was agreed to. t Kev. Dr. Adams said he had one other motion to make, with the distinct understanding, of whiou lie hoped the clerks would take notice as a mutter of record, that this action would not be taken as a pre cedent for future action. - It bus been tho custom of cur several boards to take this action. It is neces sary we should rake extraordinary action. My mo tion now Is that we proceed to elect Kev. Jienry Kendall and Kev. Cyrus Dickson, D. D., as the Secretaries of the new board, and Hev. bamuel D. Powell, D. D., as the Treasurer of that board. 1 Kev. Dr. Breed offered the following amendment: ' RcHolvrd, That this General Assembly will cor dially commend to the new board Kev. Uenry Ken dall and Kev. Cyrus Dickson, D. 1)., as first and second Secretaries, and Kev. Samuel D. Powell, D. D.. as Treasurer. A motion was offered that this amendment be laid on the table, which was agreed to. The resolution of Dr. Adams was then adopted. Kev. William M. Paxtou, of New York, from the Standing Committee on Domestic Missions, offered the followisg resolution: Jttmilved, That iu view of the retirement of the venerable Secretary of the Board of Domestic, Mis sions, iiils Assembly recognizes his able and zealous eer7lces, and that we assure him of our Blnuere and cordial sympathy and of our earnest wish that his life may be spared for continued usefulness in the Church, and of our sincere prayer that a Christian peace and hope may cherish h s declining years. The resolution was unanimously adopted. ' Tue Committee on the Narrative. The chairman of the Committee on the Narrative. Kev. T. 1 Cuyler, of Brooklyn, presented the annual narrative of tbe state of religion within the bounds of the Presbyterian Church of the Lmted States. The consideration of this narrative was the second special order of the day for this inernlng. From tbe narrative we extract the following: The vitally important department of chnrca erection work has received a new impetus during the past year. Many of the presbyteries report tue commencement or the completion oi houses of worship. In others tue sanotua ries of God have been repaired or beautitied. But while graceful and elegant structures have been reared in larca t miit, and soores of substantial buildings hare been finished in the newer settlements by th timely aid of our "Church Fraction Boards," there is still a lamentable lack of suitable places lor divine wontbip in too many localities. Uur Western presbyterial narratives reiterate tueconsiant cry, "Bend us means to build euarchetand send us live men for tbeir pulpits." It may be mentioned as curious fact, tbat iu one of our presbyteries t Dakota) there are seven organized churches and yet not a single church edifice. ive oi the congregations meet in private bouses, amtasisth is now rem lug a log sciioalhouae as tin ir lewly temple to Jeuovau'e praise. 1 ne wrn oi clinrch extension has made fair progress in teveial of oar presbyteries. In tbat of Misseuri river seven new churches have been erawniaed ; in iexint;tou, five: ia Londonderry, two; while the Presbytery ot bout a Carolina have received aevea new organizations into their roll Six cburcJies have been organizei wiuiin tbe lioundscf tke Presbytery of Dubuque; in that of Albany mission cnaDel has grown iat an indopendvnt aoi flourishing church. Tnese are specimens of cheeriug facta which reacn ns and which partialis- atone for the gnevtom absence of an aggressive apirit in etkur portions of oar denomination. As a whole our grwwtu has net been as great as onr wraith could atlerd, and as our glorious faith and polity demand. , i Tho Narrative Received. A motion was made that the narrative be received, and tbat It be ordered to be read from the palpits of all the churches connected, with the Assembly. Objection was made to the last recommendation. An amendment was offered by Mr. Vaudvke to strike out all the words of the narrative relating to rotary eldership. Agreed to. A motion was also made to strike ont tbe words 'an uopardoDable sin ' usrd In connection with the failure to raise funds for the Board of Missions, and insert the words "a grievous sin." Agreed to. The narrative, on motion of Mr. Tnlly, was tbea received. The Resort mn Kreediaea. Tbe naflajs&va tuuibs at yesterday afternoon'! isenalon. the coTi.' ideTftnon or tne report oi r . mlttec on rreedmcn, was rranmed. VUm Kev. Dr. Katon, as one of the com" . had spent considerable . time In th Hon of this select, lie wanted to say (h parate or ganization was the JVa.t.le wav at this time. " w1." rccTe, l -"ftfailv. The committee were led to ad ipt this ornln ;om , he exp,,rlRn(,n i of tbe past. The rsiiortw'.iich they bro.ght forward lecommendea SfparatP. organizations. A separate depart nnt is absolutely neeearv at the preeat j itme. V e consulted, several vrell 'informed gentle nieu In resor-l lo the matt r, and thev all declared 1 that the oi-'.y way to work this system was by having a Pf iarate dopnrfment. We regard this entirely 1 reasonnb e. We all know there Is a division of laimr cvtrywliere. One department requires particular adaptation, und the Oevlston of labor is Its success, i There are separate works to be done. The work of , the frccdmen at this moment Is a specl il work, and a I jireat work. There are four millions of these people 1 within our limits. They aro to live amongst us. i Iix-Covcrnor Pollock sab' It was well to rndor i stand when we are on this subject, It is an liu- portant one and we should give it just consideration, i The amendment before the Assembly now is. as I 1 understand, that the work be transferred to the Board oi Domestic Missions. Both the majority report end i he amendment aeem to want n change of ! existing circumstances. Front the necessities of Up-. case tuat work cannot be a permanent worn ami cannot rennlre a special board. Thev must Boon come nnder the charge of our board. We must for the present recognize the difference between the colored and the white men, but the time, thank Uod, is coming, and that speedily, when there will bono dlllertnce whatever between ns, and we can theu be united under one common board. I therefore move that, the minority report and this resolution be laid on the table, with a view of taking up the majority rcpeit. This was agreed to. and the majority report was taken up for consideration. It was read by the clerk. Kev. P. A. (hinnlDgham, of Philadelphia, moved that the Assembly aubsti'nte the word "eommlttes"' Instead of the w ord "board." lie also thought the committee snoti'd be continued in tne city oi i'ltts hurg, where it was well and Judiciously carried on, aud where they aro better acquainted with its affairs. 1 hope the amendment will be adopted. We should keep up a distinction for a time, at least, in thts matter. I think It nt cessary to keep up the two distinct collections in our t nurcn. i oo not neuevo, II we put these all In one. that we can raise as much as we did last V'iar, and I think this c iramlttee will be Rpro!! ed,anil-inc work go forwardjas It bas done in tiielveai'S. past Rev. Mr. Dorian (.aid he. did not care what the name of the persons to preside over them was- whetherlt was called aboard or a committee. We wanted the men. I have for the last four or five years been the only white man in the field. We have done a very good work among the freed men iu the south, we ean make Jrresoyterians out ot tne colored men as well as any other class. If we can not make them Presbyterians, then fresbyterianiaiu Is not worth anything. The greatest calamity wo conld entail npon our country would be to withdraw from the missionary field. The colored men stick to her bosom and love the Church. Clvc ns a place to stand, aud give ns some nirm who have the heart to stand. We should develop the intellect and knowledge of the colored men. liaise up ministers and raise rip yonng females to be tiielr helpers, and in a short time we would open Africa to tbe Church aD'l religion. Jtev. Mr. Stnekton said be wab a member of the committee who brought In the minority report be lore the Assembly, we no not wish to nave a per manent board. We want it conducted by a tempo rary committeo. Mr. S. J. Thompson Fata ho wanted tho work to continue in the hands of the committee at Pittsburg, at least for the present. The majority and minority now coincide and agree on this ques , tiou. The work must be doue by somebody. Kev. Mr. Tany said he believed the time had come i for mcrglug this work In the borne missions. Kev. Mr. Crosby said that in order to specify be oneren tue lonowing amendment: JUHuloeii. That to the Frucdmen'a Committeo on Home Missions at New York to whom is intrusted in place of the board the work of thefreedmen, be Ictrutted this work until such time us the General Committee can act upon the plan of the Committee or Twenty-one. This was ruled out of order by the Moderator. The Question recurring on the amendment to i Insert ''committee'' instead of "board," it was then adopted by the Assembly. Pittsburg was theu decided upon as the head quarters of the committee. The board was made to consist of twelve members. After a few slight alterations, the report us a wnoic was adopted. The Publication Committee's Report. Tbe report of the Joint Committee on Publication was read by the clerk. The report states that a 'proper house of publication is greatly needed. The work of the board embraces the publishing or IbookH, pamphlets, and tracts, of Sunday-School ibooks, anil of tiie home and foreign record : It also 'embraces book Helling at the book stores and by col inorleurs: also, irrauiltous distribution. f This last branch requires several committees an .Executive Committee, a Publishing Committee, and a Corr.ml-.tee on Accounts. Tho (Secretary's duties are vaiious and onerous, embracing correspondence, the editing of books, und the Jiccord aud Visitor, aud the general business connected with the multifa- Tious operations of the bourd. j The various items of the report provide la every particular for the consolidation of tne board and tho Publication Committee. After considering several items of the report the Assembly adjourned witn prayer by Jjr. d. Alex ander. j Local Onns and Ekds. It is suggested that the Itlescendauts of the signers of tho Declaration of In dependence adopt the necessary measures to arrange a reunion or cacn otner on j uiy 4,147 u, in commemo ration of the centenary anniversary of tbe Indepen dence of America.

BUIUJLnV. , Heroic Condnet of n Woman Hhe Sheet a itnrainr. About 11 o'clock last night the residence of Dr. Getchell, No. 14:(5 Spruce street, was entered through a back window by a burglar, who suc ceeded In gathering together a number of silver forks, knives, spoons, wearing apparel, etc Like "Little Oliver," not sat'stled, he desired more, and accordingly commenced ransacking the parlor. At the time Dr. Oetcliell was absent 011 a visit to one of his patients, and no male adult, other than the burglar, was in the house. Mrs. Hetehell, in her bedchamber overhead, heard the noise in the parlor, aid at. once surmised the cause, but not knowing how many or how lew persons were in the nouse, site for a time kept quiet. At length she determined to nrave tne danger ana make a reconnoifsance. Accordingly she quietly made her way down stnlts, and approaching the parlor door, which was partially open, discovered but the one person, candle lu hand, searching for plunder. Now Mrs. Oetcliell, although a woman, does not lack courage, a quality some would have ns believe 110 woman possesses, and llndiug but one thief In the house she determined to give him battle. Making her way nn stairs again, ns noiselessly as she hail descended, she secured her husband's revolver, and once more proceeded down stairs. When near the bottom, the stairway mane a squeaking umse, and the thief taking alarm, dashed out of tho parlor and past Mrs. Octchell. Although the shock wiiH sudden she remained Urm, and coolly taking aim, tired at and wounded the burglar, although where, or to what extent, is not now Known, t ne rascal Kept on, cianmeren through the window by which he had entered Into the yard, then on to a hydrant, then over the fence ami escaped. An examination 01 tne premises showed that the hnrglur hail bled profusely, as splotches or the crimson were discernible all along the hall-way, on the window sill, In the yard, nnd on the fence. 'It, Is unnecessary to add that he secured 110 plunder other than the leaden pellet which he carried as a souvenir of Mrs. Cietcliell's skill as a "shootist."

The report of the committee on Kooms made at a special meeting ou the 17th of March last was called up aud the action of the special committee revoked. This was done because tne report was accepted by but a small nnmber of the members, the meeting being simply an informal one. Under tills action the rooms at Ninth ami Walnut streets were rejected.

Both delegations ot the Sioux Indians came to gether to the Indian Office this mornlnk, where they had a preparatory council with the Secretary of the Interior ami Commissioner Parker. Long, before the arrival of the Indians the pawaires of tho department were filled by a crowd anxious to In spect me rea men as tney passed, and this, besides being unpleasant to them, interfered very much: with their comfort, making It somewhat dlfllcult for them to wend their way into fko connjll chamber. After a while, however, they were all admitted and seated, Spotted Tall looking the personification of oignny, owing wun nis tnree companions on ono Bide of the room, while seated lu two rows at right angles from him were Red Cloud and hi larger number of chiefs and red men. together with tnn squaws who accompany them. mere were also present General Smith, who ae. companled the Red Cloud party hither; Culonel lieannais, or St. Louis; colonel Bullock, of Fort Laramie : John Richards. Vincent Colver. and others. After the Indians were comfortably seated and had passed me pipe arouna tne circle a lew tunes, com missioner Parker, accompanied bv Secretary Cor. entered the council room and were Introduced to each Indian of Red Cloud's band, having met the poiieu lau party previously. Alter taat ceremony the speeches of the occasion were made, the irst being by the Commissioner, who said : "I am verv glad to see you to-day. I know that too have come a long way to see your Great Father, the President of tbe United States You have had no accident; have arrived here all well, and should be very thankful to the -rat Spirit who bas kept you safe. The Great Father got Red Cloud's message, that he wanted to;come to Washington aDd see him, and the President said he nugnt come, we win oe ready at any time to bear what Red Clould has to say for himself and his pee tie; but want them first to hear the Secretary oi tha interior, who belongs to the President's Council. Commissioner, then stepped aside.Jand senctr cox addressed the circle saying, when we heard that the Chief of the Sloax nations wanted to come to Wash ington to see the President, and the Oiilcers of the Government, we were glad. We were glad that they themselves said they wanted to come. We know that when people are so far apart as we are from the Sioux, it Is very hard to see each other, andr to know what each one wants, but when we see each other, face to face, we can understand better what Is really right and what we ought to do. The President, General Parker, aud myself, an1 all tbe officers of the Government, want to do the thing that is right. While you are here, therefore, we shall want you to tell us wkat Is In your owo heart, all you feel, and what your condition Is, ao that we may bave a perfect understanding, and tbat we may make a peace that shall last forever, la coming here you have seen that this is a very great peoplv, and we are growing all the time. We want to find out the condition of things in the Sioux country, so that we may make satisfactory treaties. In a day or two the President himself will see tha chiefs, and In tbe meantime we want them to pre pare to tell him what they have te say, and we wlU uake our answer honestly as we mean. We want to use our luduence so that there shall not only be peace between the Indians and whites, but so that there shall be no more trouble about dif ficulties between the different bands of Indians. The Secretary npon the conclusion of his speech to Red Cloud and party addressed himself to Spot ted Tail, thanking him for being present, and telling him that he was glad of the good-will he had for tho whites. It was thought, at the conclusion of these speeches, that the conference would terminate, but Hvil Cloud announced through his Interpreter that he had something to say, and stepping briskly to tha table, be shook hands with the officials present, aud in a tJrm voice spoke as follows: My friends, I have come a longways to see you and the Great Father, but somehow after I have reached here you do not look at me. Whrn I heard the words of the Great Father, per mitting me to come, 1 came right away, aud left my womeu sad children. 1 want jou to give then rations and a load of ammunition to kill game witn. 1 v.ih you would telegraph to my people about it t tell them 1 arrived a.l right. Alter making these remarks be walked quickly back, and took his scat among the warriors. Secre tary cox said that,for the present, he would simply say, we welcome them airain. He thought ho would gratify them to come here tc-dat, and we desire to show them every respact and :kniiness. We will telegraph to Red Cloud's people that they are here safe, aud as to their other requests, will give them more careful attention. Ihe Commissioner told them that tc-.-norrow he would show them the points of Interest In and around the city, on the next day the white people aid rio biiKluens, and on the eveulug of the day after the President would met the Indians at the Execu tive Mansion. He has a grat many people to attend to and hai not been to see them, out has asked them lo coma and see him. Ou this occasion he wauls to sea them to shake hands aud a:ui- that will see them on business. The talk then ended, aud the Indians ail shook hands around once more aud left. They were invited to have their photographs taken, but Med Cloud declined for the present. X
