St: Lours, May 24.—The proceedings of
the tad School Assembly to-day, consisted
mainly of the reading of the report of tte
Committee on the Louisville Presbrary
ease. The report reviews the decla , zati o n
and testimony put forth by that bAdy and
considers it an evidence of orgr,,r ze d con .
spiracy against the church and concludes
with a series of resolutiara, which declare
the Pres , ,bytery of Draisville dissolved. A
new Presbytery is to be constituted, to be
-Ailed by the same name and to occupy the

103 shall subscribe to the disapproval of the
declaration and testimony, and obey the
43etheral Assembly. All ministers of the
lute Louisville Presbytery, who do not
apply for - admission to the new Presbytery
and subscribe to the above, disapproval
within two months from its organization,
their !pastoral relations with the churches
under the care of this Assembly, shall be
dissolved.
The Assembly disclaims anyintention or
disposition to disturb existing relations,
but rather to protect them in the enjoyment
of their rights and privileges in the
'churches.
Dr. E. P. Humphrey offered a substitute,
strongly condemning the declaration and
testimony, and urging the Louisville
- Presbytery to forbear further agitation of
the subject; to return to its loyalty to the
Church, and report to the next General

notion to be then decided upon by the As

negro Testimony Refused in Virginia.
WASHINGTON', May 25.—1 n the Virginia
-Circuit Court at Alexandria,yesterday,when
the case of the. Commonwealth vs. Roe, a
- white man, charged with felony, was being
- tried, the Commonwealth's attorney asked
- that he might be permitted to introduce ne
,,gro witnesses to testify, claiming the right
to do so under the provisions of the Civil
Rights bill. Judge Thomas declined
permission on the ground that this
was a State writ and he was
acting under the laws of the State which
ibrbade a negro to testify in a case against a
white man, except "when the case arises
-out of an injury done, attempted or threat
ened, to the person, property or rights of a
colored person or Indian, and when the of
fence was committed by a whiten in
conjunction with a colored perm,: In
dian." •

WEST PHILADELPHIA.—The hint thrown
out in the BULLETIN, in relation to the dan
ger of accident at the newly-completed tun
nel of the Pennsylvania State Central Rail
road, :at the junction of Darby road and
Market street, has:been responded to. The
evil has been amended.
One branch of society, and la most useful
branch it is—our firemen—have been unin
tentionally overlooked. Yesterday we
placed ourself en rapport with the whole
West Philadelphia department. The force
is as follows ; "West Philadelphia En
gine," Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth streets,
or Market; "West Philadelphia Hose,"
Thirty-seventh and Oak streets, "Mantua"
(Hook and Ladder and Steam-forcing Hose
combined), Forty-first street and Lancaster
Pike; "Union" (Hose), Thirty-sixth, above
Bridge street, likewise in Mantua village,
and the "Monroe" (Engine), located at
Hestonville. The members of the different
organizations number over 300 in active
service; and a more faithful, prombt, ener
getic body of young men, no suburban
district was ever blessed with. Considering
the extent of country in which their ser
vices are occasionally required, they de
serve the thanks of all that section of the
city.
At the Police Station this morning James
Urian and Adelbert Urian were held to
answer for an aggravated assault and bat
tery with intent to kill. The record was
barren - of particulars. Robert King was
committed for drunkenness, and Eliza
Riley fined $3 for the same offence.
"Jemmy"—Jamm McCabe—was rather un
fortunate. He got very drunk, and in his
drunkenness stole a fire horn belonging to
the West Philadelphia-Mose Company. He
was fined-$3 on the one charge, and then
-sent below to answer the other.
At the alms house there were 15 admits
slow, 10 males and 5 females; discharged
26, -22 males to 4 females; 3 eloped, and
there were a similar number of deaths—
one in the "Surgical;" one in the Children's
Asylum and one an "unknown woman"
in the 'lnsane department. She must have
had a history, but died, "and made no
sign."
The census to-day was 2,975; to last year
same date, .2,527. The increase was 448 to
472 of the day before.
ALLEGED Csmarazi THIS'.—A man
named John Lewis Schmidt was arrested at
Chestnut Hill, yesterday, with a lot of
chickens, turkeys and farm utensils in his
possession. The articles had been stolen
from the place of Benjamin Jones, in Mont
gomery county, about four miles above
Chestnut Hill. Schmidt had a hearing be
fore Alderman Thomas, and was committed
for trial in Montgomery county. While
being taken to Norristown, by officer
Shaffer, he jumped from the rain between
Spring Hill and Conshohocken. Shaffer
got off at the next station, and traced the
iugitive to Shippen street, where he resided,
and with the assistance of Sergeant Nutt, of
the Second District, succeeded in re-arrest
ing him. ' The prisoner was again started
for Norristown this morning.
x •
MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—James Uri a na
and Adelbert Urian were before Alderman
Allen this morning, upon the charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill.
The parties reside near the Sorrel Horse
tavern, on the Darby road, in the Twenty
seventh Ward. A colored man named
Samuel Nadine, who had formerly been in
the army, was passing that place yesterday,
when the defendants, without provocation,
commenced abusing him. Finally they got
to beating him, and they . did not desist until
Nabine was very badly ured. He is con
fined to the house, and was not able to ap•
pear at -the hearing this morning. The
accused were held in $2,000 bail each, for a
further hearing. .
THE "Crrr PAsroa" Casa.—The case of
Wm. McElwee, "City Pastor," charged with
the embezzlement of funds entrusted to his
charge,
was called up this morning by Re
corder Eneu for decision. Mr. Mitchell, the
counsel for the defendant, said that - he had
examined the law and he was of the opinion
that the trust of the defendant was not one
contemplated byact of Assembly. He de
sired an extension of time 'to -look further
into the subject. The case then went over
until al o'clock this afternoon. The evi
dence elicited at the hearing yesterday after
noon will be found on the sixth page of to
day's BULLETIN.

The Senate bill to incorporate the District
of Columbia Canal and Sewerage Company,
was taken up as the first business in order
during the morning hour. It provides for
a commercial canal and a sewer between
the Anacosta river, from a point near its
junction with the Potomac to a point on the
old canal and thence deepening ten feet
below high tide, the canal or ditch, to the
Georgetown terminus of the Chesa
peake and Ohio canal. The capital stock
of the company is to be a million of dollars,
its revenue to be derived from tolls and.
rents for the use of wharves and docks, and
the Company is botind, within thirty days
after the passage of the act, to cause a con
stant stream of fresh water to be turned
into the old canal, and continue to flow till

from the Committee for the District, ex
plained its great importance as a sanitary
and as a commercial measure, stating in the

construct a canal from the Anacosta river at
Washington to Annapolis, a distance
of twenty miles, which would give water
communication between Washington and
New York through the Chesapeake Canal,
thus diminishing, by several hundred miles
thepresent water route by way of Fortress
Monroe.

TTAGEDY IN JASPI2I COUNTY, INDIANA,
—The telegraph operator at Franotoville,
sends us the particulars of another Newland-
Evans tragedy, which transpired.in Jasper
county, near Rensselaer, on Wednesday..
Addison Parkinson, a wealthy farmer and
stock grazer of that county, highly esteemed
in all the relations of life, discovered that
his daughter, an interesting girl of fifteen
years of age, been secluded. She con
fessed her guilt, and divulged the name of
Newton Guthridge as the author of her ruin.
Gutbridge was a tenant farmer on the
lands of Mr. Parkinson, a young man
of about twenty-five years of
age, rather good-looking and had
hitherto borne an unblemished reputation.
He bad been about the homestead more or
less for a year past, and was engaged this
spring in putting in a crop on shares. Im
mediately upon learning of his daughter's
ruin, Mr. Parkinson armed himself with a
revolver, and proceeded in hot haste in
search of Gothridge. It was about seven
o'clock in the evening, and the young man
was in the barn putting up his team. Mr.
Parkinson called him to the door and shot
him down. Three balls took effect, trilling
him instantly. After committing the
bloody deed he announced himself pre
pared to abide the law and made no effort
to escape. The affair has created intense
excitement in the neighborhood, where the
parties are, well-known.--Lafayette Courier.
