Souther^ PlftSibyterlan Churches have not been relinquished, despite the failure of the Baltimore Con? ference. This Conferenoe*was held last January ?and it ended with the, refusal of tho S^uRiern Comiaktoo to agree to any plan of frate>nity until tho Northern Assembly supplemented its action, ex? pressing confidence in the doctrinal soundness and Christian character of the jembors of the Southern Church by re lutioh disapproving the "imputations'* leresy cast upon tneHouthern Church during and after the war, by the Old and New School Assemblies. The answer of the Northern Committee to this demand was that it cifr?cdwS iiieiv power and in? structions, and they contended, more? over, that the United Assembly had no authority to review or repeal the deli? verances of the Old and New School. Assemblies. The discussion was carried into the denominational press, and has been, conducted with considerable war hi th, each church approving and de? fending the' course of its committee. The question will come before the two AaMrnblies this month, and will doubt Jess be warmly discussed. The Presbytery of New Castle, Dela? ware, has unanimously adopted an over? ture to the Cleveland Assembly, approv? ing Che" course Of tho Northern Commit? tee at Baltimore, and asking, in view of the feeling of Southern Presbyterians, that the charges of schism, heresy and blasphemy still bear injuriously against them, that the Assembly take such action as may bo within its powers, "and by whioh it may be declared in the most solenut ana unequivocal words that all "charges complained of as injurious impu? tations against the ministers and mom i hereof tho Southern Presbyterian Church have been, and in order to prevent all possible misapprehension on this point, are now again, by the full authority of the Assembly, withdrawn and disa? vowed." The Assembly is also asked to appoint another committee of conference, apd to commission delegates to tho Southern Assembly.

Carroll. Carried. ( Committee on Ways and Means re? ported as follows: ? i i . . Columbia., S. C, May 12, 1875. To the Honorable Mayor and Aid w men of the OUy of Columbia ?Gkktlxheh : We, the Committee on Waya and Means, hav? ing carefully considered the application of School Commissioner C. J. Carroll, do respectfully recommend that the sum of $982.CO be appropriated for the purpose of keeping open the public schools within the city limits until the 25th Juno next. B. f. GBIFFIN. C. J. CABBOLL, Alderman Purvis was in favor of keep? ing open the public schools, but was Op? posed to any appropriation of the city funds for that purpose at present In fact, the city has no funds, and to issue certificates of indebtedness would be appropriating* the taxes of 1870 in ad? vance; and ho suggested that the School Commissioner call the School Trustees together, and see if the citizens of Co? lumbia would not consent to a small tax for that purpose. He thought that no citizen would object. Alderman Cooper objected on the same grounds, that certificates would absorb so muoh of the tax of 187G, and would close up the Alms House and t Hospital, and he thought that the poor of the city required attention from the city, as well as the public schools. Ho would vote against the motion. Alderman Swygert followed in the same strain. Ho was strongly opposed to the payment of any more* grants or appropriations in advance of the taxes; on the contrary, he was in favor of cur? tailing the expenses of the city. Alderman Carr regretted the necessity of his voting in the negative; but he really thought, considering all things, that the children could suffer but lit tie detriment by the loss of only one month's schooling. Alderman Carroll spoke earnestly in favor of the petition, and feelingly in re? gard to tho prospect of the children, about 700 in number, being exposed to all the wioked influences surrounding them in this city. Alderman Griffin moved for the ayes and noes. Ayes?Aldermen Grifiin, Carroll, Tho? mas and Simons. Nats?Aldermen Purvis, Cooper, Carr, Wells, Brown, Davis and Swygert. By Alderman Purvis?Be it resolved by the Mayor and City Council, That we levy a tax upon the real and personal Sroperty of tho citizens of Columbia, to efruy tho expense of the oity schools for one month, said amount to be raised not to exoeed $1,000. On motion, the resolution was laid on the table. Alderman Simons, from tho Committee on Guard House and Police, handed in the following report On motion, the report was amended by striking out a few unnecessary words, and received as information: Columbia, S. C, May 17. 1875. To Ute Hon. Mayor and Aldermen City of Columbia? Gxntlkmbw: The Commit? tee on Guard House and Police beg leave to report that they have made several attempts to discover the person or per? sons who purloined the diamond pin and cross, taken from the thief Henry Daniels by Policeman Lomax. We have held several meetings, have summoned witnesses and have exhausted almost every means of arriving at the facts. We have been embarrassed by the con? flicting testimony of the different wit? nesses. We desire to say that, nothing daunted, wo intend to prosecuto our inquiries until the guilty person or per? sons are discovered; and are only hin? dered at present by tho attendance of the witnesses on the grand jury, who now have the matter under consideration. WILLIAM SIMONS, Chairman, S. P. DAVIS, Committee on Guard House and Police. Alderman Carroll moved that the hall be clearod of all persons except Council, and one witness to be heard in evidence at one time. Carried. Council then proceeded to take evi? dence in the investigation of the missing diamond pin and the cross, and con? tinued up to 3 o'clock A. M., Tuesday. Council adjourned. BICHABD JONES, City Clerk, Foreign immigration still continues to exhibit a decided deoline, the arrivals at New York in April having been 5,066 less than for the corresponding month last year. Tho causes are well known, and it is not necessary to repeat them. There is no prospect of a revival before tho return of general business prosperity throughout the republic, the great num? bers now out of employment causing the most discouraging reports to be sent I to Europe. The emigration to California by rail, is chiefly composed of our own people. Whether the decline is perma? nent, remains to be seen; but it is very clear that the injury done to the immi? grant business, is deep-seated and hot to be easily remedied.

Every one had a story to tell of the eccentricities of Wesley Van Luisen, the illegitimate son of Susan Scutt. He was 38 years of age, industrious and sober, and had been employed by the railroad from his boyhood. Two or three days 'igo, there was an epidemic of suioidoB, and now there is a tendency among people to gct: run over by railroad trsins. These coincidences are sometimos very singular.
