The elders had also adopted a Written address to allruling elders throughout the country, which was to be disseminated among the churches. There was a discussion on the reunion of the two branches of the charch. (old and new.) and a majority and minority report made. The majority report favoring a discussion of the sub- ject among the churches, was adopted. The prevailing feeling in the assembly seemed to be the uniting of the two branches. It was agreed that the next meeting ofthe General Assembly be hela in this city; but Dr. Gurley stating that bis church could not afford proper accommodations, it was reconsidered, and Dr. Sprague’s church, Albany, N. Y., was selected as the place of holding the next annual meet- ing. —_—__ THE Masonic TenrLz.—Workmen have commenced the foundation walls of the Ma- sonic Temple, at the corner of F and 9th streets, the corner stone of which it is proposed to lay in July.

John Tur- ton, re-elected Vice President of the rd of Aldermen. is also an old and valuable mem- ber. Mr.S. V.

D : hers lower Board, is perbaps the youngest member ever placed in Phat Position, and the fact of bis selection bears testimony to his marked qualifications for the place. He has shown such qualifications, we learn, as presiding officer of various organizations. The Secre- tary of the lower Board, Major H. A. Hall, is known asa leading member of t Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union. and is well qualified for the duties. A colored reading clerk and col- cored messenger were selected by the lower Beard. J.T. Johnson, the reading clerk, has been an employee of the House of Representa- tives for seme years, and seme of the members at the lust session of Congress paid him the compliment of proposing to intreduce his mame as a corporator in an important com- pany charter. E. S. Atkinson, the messenger, took a leading part in the canvass pre- ceding the late municipal election. ——_.—_—_. RIOT AND ARRESTS.—Last night, two col- ored men named G. W.H. Jones and Uniffee Barley, Tted from the lower part of the Seventh Ward to go to a meeting. Burley ‘was assailed by a young white man named Jobn H. Rollins, and Jones, trying to persuade Rollins to desist, drew the attention of the as- sailant to himself. Several other young men rushed up to aid Rollins, and the colored men ran, followed some distance by the assailants. Jones felthisarm growing weak, and some- thing trickling down which he supposed to be perspiration. On the chase being given up, Jones discovered that he had been stabbed in the arm, and believed that Rollins did it. Of- ficers F. A. Evane, Turnburke, James, and Marders, with Lieut. Gessford, arrested Benj. Greenwell, Thomas Boyland. James Berry, John Goldsmith, John H. Rollins, and Ge Rowles, and took them before Justice Tucker. Rollins and Rowles were positively identified, and were sent to juil for court. Greenwell ‘was also identified by the colored men, but there being evidence creating a doubt whether he or his twin brother ts the right party, he ‘was held for a further hearing. Boyland was used as a witness. Goldsmith and Berry were dismissed, and the arrest of other parties was ordered. Jones was not injured very severe- ly by the stabbing, thougb the wound bled protusely. ——_s—__—_ ‘TEARING WoRK.—We hear that on Satur- gay afternoon fast, during the absence of the gatekeeper, a party of about seventeen men— Joseph Birch, Lewis Crump, two Ives, and others—tore down, carried off, and destroyed the toli-gate on the Washington and Leesburg turnpike. situated a mile or so below the vil- 4age of Falls Church, in Fairfax county, Va, some eigbt or ten miles from this city. The offenders were all residents of the village and Vicinity, whese grievance was the bad con- dition of the road, on which they object to pay- ing toll until putin proper order. The com- pany owning the road will doubtless prompt- ly prosecute all concerned in the act. when further particulars of the affair will of course be developed. ——e PRESENTATION.—Last evening, at the meet- ing of Harmony Lodge of Odd Fellows, a set o! resolutions were presented on behalf of the Jodge to P. G. Bennet R. Lawson, of Thomas Wiidey Lodge. Baltimore, in token of the ap- preciation by the lodge of many and repeated acts of kindness to members of Harmony Lodge. The resolutions are in an elegant frame, in which are photographs of the six oldest past grands of the lodge. The presen- tation speech was made by Past Grand Fred. Prosperi, to which P. G. Lawson replied, and other addresses followed. ——_o—___ FRATERNAL VISIT.—Last evening, George Washington Camp, No 1. Sons of Liberty, jocated at the Navy Yara, paid a fraternal visit to Lincoln Camp, of the same order, lo- cated at the corner of 9th and D streets, being headea by Heald’s American Brass Band, in full uniform. The two Camps epenta very agreeable time together, listening to addresses, &c., and separated ata very late hour. There are now, we understand, four camps in this city whose members approach a thousand, and a new camp is.abont being formed. ee SaLzE oF CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL Company Stock.—Cooper & Latimer, auc- Uoneers. sold yesterday $11,000 of Uhesapeake | and Ohio Canal Company (preferred bonds With 15 years interest due thereon, ) at 30 cents on tne dollar.

Hall, the newly elected City Collector, has gone North, partly on business and partly in quest of health. It bas been stated that he will re- tain Mr. Samuel Cross in his present position as Chief Clerk. ‘The experience and ability of Mr. Cross would make him a valuable acquisition, but we believe he has not heard ot any such arrangement. Taw JURY PANEL IN THE SURRATT Case.— it is rumored that the action of the prosecution yesterday in objecting to the jury panel, was trom the belief that a considerable number of those on the jury list were of the same religious belief as the prisoner. As there are many ex- aggerated rumors afloat, it is probable that os is not the cause of the action ef the prose- ention. —_——— AN ObsxcT OF PiTy.—This morning.
