Southern Presbyterian General Ab-
aembly.
9t. Lons, May 21.—The General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church South,
met again this morning—Moderator
Huge in the chair. The usual standing
committees were appointed and the Com
mittee of Sustenance made a report.
Rev. Wm. Brown. D. D., chairman of
the Committee on Friendly Relations be
tween the Northern and Southern church
es, made a lengthy report, which was laid
over for consideration. The gist of the
report seems to lie in the following pas
sage: In a communication from Rev.
Wm. Brown, chairman of Southern com
mittee, to Rev. Dr. Nichols, chairman of
the Northern committee, he says:
"If your Assembly could see its way
dear to say a few plain words to this ef
fect, that these obnoxious things were
said and done in times of great excite
ment, tnat they are to be regretted, and
that now, in a calm view, the imputation
cast upon the Southern churches are dis
approved, that would end the difficulty
at once."
In reply to this Dr. Nichols says:
“We cannot make this recommendation
to our Assembly, for the reason that we
are still of the decided conviction that its
action for the last four years so fully
cited to you, in our communications, con
stitute a snfficent ground for fraternal
correspondence.”
Dr. Nichols then reiterates that "all
the acts and deliverances of the North
ern assemblies, of which you complain,
are wholly null and void, and of no bind
ing efficacy as judgments of the church.
We represent, or as rules of proceedings
for its presbyteries and church session:
That in so far as they or any of them can
be snpposed to impart any injurious im
putations upon the present character and
standing of churches and members of
the Southern Assembly asTChristians or
Presbyterians, such on application of
them ’ would be unjust to you, and
would be disapproved of and greatly
regretted by ns: that the acts and
deliverances of the Northern Assemimro,
of which yon complain, were made in a
peculiar time and under strange and ex
citing circumstance, when the passions
and feelings of men were profoundly
moved ; that, as the acts of the assem
blies which we do not represent, we can
not sit in judgment upon them, nor ex
press any opinion as to their character ;
that wo feci competent to express the de
sire that they may be considered by you
ia the same spirit of charity and Chris
tian forgiveness, which we trust those
people whom we represent will exercise
towards anything to which they may ob
ject m the proceedings of the Southern
Assemblies.” . —
To this Rev. Mr. Brown replied: "The
grievances of which we complain, and
which we desire to see removed, lie en
tirely back of the present, and an ad
justment which entirely ignores the past,
is nn'atisfsetory.”'
This virtually elosed the controversy.

After the Smngglera.
New Yorjc, May 21.—A meeting of
dry goods importers was held this even
ing for the purpose of taking action to
prevent, in so far as they were able, the
smuggling of goods. About thirty firms
were represented. The matter was dis
cussed at great length, some importers
being of opinion that a committee shonld
be appointed to visit the Secretary of the
Treasury and enlist his services. Others
were in favor of taking action with regard
to semiring a reform in the Custom
house, and.of having bonds signed by
responsible parties, while others favored
only the formation of a permanent organ
ization for the present. The latter course
was finally adopted, and a committee on
permanent organization was appointed.

The Charleston Regatta.
Chabubston, May 21.—The whole city
gathered upon the water front to-day to
witness the four-oared race of the spring
regatta. Six shells entered, and the fact
that these included the Palmetto and
Vernon crews, which represented re
spectively Charleston and /Savannah at
Saratoga last year, gave great interest to
the race. The crews came in ip the fol
lowing order: One, Carolina; two. Elec
tric; three,.Vernon; four, Queen City;
five, Couper. The Palmetto’s boat stood
a good chance of winning, but was
swamped when the race was nearly com
pleted. The regatta concludes to-morrow
with a yacht race, for which there are six
entries.
LonlsvIIIe Race*.
Louiville, May 21.—The races were
run iu mud. A drenching rain through
out the morning and during the contest
made the track heavy. The attendance
was large, the main attraction being the
race for the gentlemen’s cup.
The first race—Tennessee stakes, thir
ty entries, fifteen started, three-quarter
dash—was won by Creedmoor, Teculo
second. Vagrant third. Time 1.22}.
The second race—gentleman’s enp, one
and one-eighth mile, two started—was
won by Misfortune, beating Oxmore by a
neck. Time 2:111. . :
The third race—association purse—
Belle Bruce (3 years) 11; Mainsail (8
years) 2 2; Vanderbilt (4 years) 3 (dis
tanced) ; Little Flirt (6 years) distanced,
Time 1:52, 1:53}. ;
The Folly of Too Many News
papers.
The Memphis Avalanche thus dis
courses on this subject:
It is fortunate for the public that the
cost of producing newspapers is now so
great that only thoso of positive merit,
and filling a sphere of usefulness recog
nised by the community, can hope for
more than an ephemeral existence. The
rapid increase, especially in cities, of
newspapers which are only newspapers
in name, their columns containing little
eitner useful or interesting, has wrought
much damage to publishers who attempt
to conduct a legitimate business, and
whose journals benefit the comteunity in
which they are printed. While breathing
the breath of life, the useless "dailies”
absorb sufficient patronage to prevent the
other class from gaming strength enough
to increase its sphere of usefulness. They
force journalism into a constant struggle
for life, without benefitting themselves;
then finally die and are forgotten. What
most cities and large towns need is fewer
and better newspapers —newspapers
whose business justifies their owners in
constantly increasing their excellence s
disseminators of knowledge and their in
fluence as instructors of the masses.
Cariosities of tlie Law.
The Kent county (Del.) Superior Court
has been engaged all this week with a
very important case. Under the laws of
Delaware the property of a wife who dies
without issue descends not to her hus
band, but to those of her own blood.
Ten years ago Henry Stout, a wealthy
Dover lawyer, died, leaving his property
to his three children. Five years ago his
only daughter married the Rev. R. N.
Hall, of Lewis, and a year after she died
in giving birth to her first child. The
latter, it was claimed by the father, lived
for a few minntes after being delivered,
but this Mrs. Hall’s brother denies. If
the babe breathed for a single second
»v«. w;,-th, then the mother’s property
descended to Her husband. If it was
dead when delivered, however, the moth
er died withont issue, and the property
descended to her brother.
To settle the question the brothers
brought suit for the property, and the
case occupied the attention of the court
the entire week. For the plaintiffs Sena
tor Saulsbury and ex-Senator Comegys
appeared, and the defendant was repre
sented by ex-Judge Layton, ex-Congress-
man Smithers and Edward Ridgely, Esq.
The first witness called was Dr. George
Goodell, who attended Mrs. Hall in her
fatal sickness, and delivered her of a
child. He wm positive that the child
showed no signs of respiration or muscu
lar motion after birth. This was all the
material evidence offered by the plain
tiffs at this stage of the proceedings. Dr.
Page who was also present at the deliv
ery of the child, was called by the defense.
H* believed the child had a distinct ex
istence. for with his ear upon its chest he
had heard its heart heat; he also saw the
temporal arteries vibrate and the umbili
cal chord throb. .
Dr Penrose, Professor of Ob3tetnc* in
the University of Pennsylvania, bring
called as an expert, said that from the
testinony he had heard, he felt positive
of th» child’s independent and distinct
existence. Drs. Jump snd Shoemaker
gave smilar testimony. Inrebcttsl. the
ffaiutffs called Drs. Caholl and ExfLri
and Mm. Cooper, who testified that the
child tad none other than sod
that ^existence was necessarily imper
fect atl indistinct—of no account what
ever^^establishing the defendants claim
to hisUead wife’s property.

was *ned at great length hy rounseL

Should not be regarded as a trifling ailment
—In fact nature demonds the utmost regularity
oi the bowels, and any deviation from this de
mand pares the way often to serious danger.
It is qulteas necessary to remove impure accu
mulations from the bowels asit is to eat or sleep,
and no health can be expected where a costive
habit olbody prevails. ,
. “The Regulator was used
, by me for Costironesg, and
had a very happy and' bene
ficial effect, and that, in mv
opinion, the same is a good
medicine.”—J. A. FERloW,
Esq., Amcricus, Ga.
This distressing affection occurs most fre
quently. The disturbance of the stomach, arising
from the imperfectly digested contents, causes
a severe pain in the head, accompanied with dis
agreeable nausea, and this constitutes what is
popularly known as Sick Headache.
Unfailing Remedy.—
”1 have used Dr. Simmons’
Liver Begulator in my fami
ly for Dyspepsia and Sick
Headache, and regard it an
invaluable remedy in these
attacks. It has not failed to
give relief in any instance.”

Mow many suffer torture day after day, mak

pleasure, owing to the secret suffering from Piles.
Yet relief is ready to the hand of almost any one
who will use systematically the remedy that
has permanently cured thousands. No dras
tic, violent purge, but a gentle assistant to na
ture. i . . .. t
Ia. it. Hinton, m. D. (
of Washington. Ark.,
says: “Your medicine is
steadily gaining popularity,
and has now got to be one of
the mdispensables in every
family that has given it a
trial. No other remedy
within my knowledge can
fill its place. 1 have been
practicing medicine for 20
years, and have never been
able to put up a vegetable
compound that would,like the
Liver Regulator, promptly
and effectively move the hrer
to action, and at the same time
aid (instead of weakening)
the digestive and assimila
tive powers of the system.”
