The General Assembly of the Psesbyterian Church | Opened iis annual session yesterday morning in the Brooklyn Taveroacle. There was a congregation of about 1,500 persons present, including the Commis- sioners of the Assembly. Tho exercises opencd with a Voluntary on the great organ by Mr. G, W. Morgan— the “ Hallelujah Chorus” and “ How beautiful are the feet,” &c, The Doxology was then sung anda bdricf prayer was offered by the Moderator, Dr. Morris, The hymn, “Jesus, Lover of my Soul,” was sung by the congregation, the forty-eighth Psalm was read by Dr, Prime, of New York, alter which the Rey, Dr. Wills, of Fushington, D. C., prayed at length tor Divine guid- ance in the deliberations of the Assembly and that the delegates might houor Christ by all they shall say and d that rich blessings may rest upon the Taber- pacie church and upon the people who entertain the Commissioners. Tho hymn, “Blest be the tia that binds," was then sung, atter which Rev. Dr. ator of the last Assembly, delivered the annual sermon. He based his remarks on the sixty- third chapter of Isaiah and the forty-cighth Psalm. The former is a psalm of commemoration of the historic grace of God to Israel, In all their afflictions He was afflicted; in His love and pity He redeemed them and He carried them all the days of oid, &e. ‘The Pralm (forty-eighth) 18 a survey of hope in the success of the church and of hor {uture, Walk about Jerusalem, go round ner and mark well her bulwarks that ye may tell it to genera- Hons following.

In this historic year we are led to review the nearly two centuries of the existence of our denomination on this continent that we may find reasons for saying with the Psalmist that this God who has been, and is, shall continue to be our God for ever and ever. Two themes were suggested by the texts chosen, namely :—The past and the future of American Presbyterianism, The Doctor declared that American Presbyterianism started from Engiish rather than Continental Calvinism. The Doctor, by a brief review of both British and Conti- aental Presbyterianism demonstrated this proposition, When it came hither there were four State churchos tablished on this continent. Prelacy in Virginia, Romanism in Maryland, the Dutch in New York and the Puritans in New England. But its doctrines were preached and re preachable, and though it was banished from’ one place and another it maintained its ground a8 “national thurch—a church tor the people. The Doctor ad- mitted that while Calvinism had mado. impressions Bpon other forms of taith, it, too, had be by others, He tracea its differences and divergencies, _ but declared that in principles and doctrines all the branches of ESHYTERIAN CHURCH ARE SUNSTANTIALLY ONE, it in its methods of work, in its donomi- and contrasted its growth from the outset with ils Seven Ministers to the present with its 4,706 ministers and nearly 5,000 churches and 500,000 mem- bers. thas hardly a_p: Old World and in this, where ions make the continent trembie with their tread as they march from city to city and State to State throughout our country singing their songs of faith and bope aud love. One hundred years ago thero were 133 Presbyterian ministers aud not more than | 600 church members On this continent. Now the Stato of Missourt has more than these, During the past fitty years the ministry of the Presbyterian Church has multiplied sixfold aud its membership eightiold, in di-cussing the second part of his theme—the future of Presbyterianism —the Doctor asked, What is the true line of progress tora church? Is the Church lo preserve its unity from generation to generation? Is Presbyterianism over to be uniiied? and what are to be the relations of this Chureb to other churches of a like type of order, doctriue, polity and government? Of ali men Presbyterians are more likely to differ than others. The torces of segregation and disintegration were considered, and the Doctor remarked that to hold together 1,000,000 Presbyterians lor a century would be A MIRACLE, INDEED, upon which the world might Jook with wonder. But under the recent union this Church is passing into a state of stability; it is assuming new positions and progressing everywhere, Klements of discord are being eliminated and the Church is growing stronger, god nut weaker, The Doctor next essayed to treat of the denomivational unity and the specific unification of American Presbyteriauism. He referred with kindness to the Presbyterian Church South, and remarked that no one who studies the sigus of the times be dis- wppomted at Lue issue. There are no distinctive prin- capies in this case which require separate organizations for their propagation. He touched lightly upon the forces which have procuced this rupture and said there were yet many iigame the denomination elau ing for umon.

LEONTIEFF. Yesterday afternoon at about four o'clock a dense and cxeited crowd congregated in Exchange place, near ‘Poverty Corner,” in froat of the office of tho Russian Covsul General, Mr. Bodisca. The gathering was composed of bankers, brokers and their clerks, and # dozen carriages were stationed in the middie of the street. The general re- port was that a Russian bad endeavored to obtain possession of a three-year-old child beionging to him, and that the child had been dragged from his arms by the police by order of Mr. Bodisco, and tha the father had been given into custody for creating a | disturbance in the street, A Hewat reporter fought bis way through the crowd and sought an explanation from Mr. Bodisco, the above-mentioned Consal General, who made the following statement :— Dr. Leontieff, a Russian physician, recently residing at No. 7 Thirty-scventh street, Philadelphia, who alleged that Mrs. Olga Tebetchulin has abducted histwo male children, requested that he might have an inter” view with her and the said infants, The lady requested that the interview should be held on neutral ground, and I consented to allow my office to be used for the meeting place. She came and met bim and then went to fetch the children, of woom he claims to be the father. Upon their arrival he embraced them tendorly, After waiting a long time, seeing that no solution was being arrived at, I told him that it was time for him to take his leave. He objected,and insisted upon carrying the younger cbild down stairs in bis arms. The lady | also objected, and I told bim that as he had broken his | word of honor with respect to his conduct, he huving promised not tv molest her, 1 should instruct a police officer to take the child trom him upon arrival down stairs. He persisted in carrying the infant down, I fol- lowing bim, and a struggle took place tor tho ebild, which was finally wrested from him and given to tho | custody of the mother, who drove off with it in a carriage, together with her other infant. The man, who is an adventurer, has not, I think, the means to support her. No certiticaty of | their marriage has been shown me, and I am thus | forced to think that they are not married. The bus- band says that Mrs. Olga Tchetchulin was formerly his paramour, and that on a recent occasion, when she visited Russia, she married a Mr. Tchetchulin, As tho children ure illegitimate, or opperently so, and of ten- der years, they must clearly remain in the custody of | the nother, both according to the laws of this country and Russia, Leontieif made a flery harangue in the street, and said he was an American citig:2n—which he is not—and said he claimed American protection, and also distribated the police descriptions of bis com panion and children, The following 18 a copy of the said description :— TO ALL.—Look out for Mrs. oe Teherehull pryion a ones ol age, gpa! per apes Bo sion, Higlit hair and ¢ Polk who hws ahducted Sin Leontiefl. voy four | age, fair complexion, light huir, three feet eight inchos high, dressed probably in a blue sailor suit; also Vola Leou- tiolf,'a bey three years of age, dark hair and complexion, blue flannel {rock trimmed white. gray felt ht, blue ribbon, from Philadeipbia by the above woman May 13, 1878. In conclusion, said Mr, Bodisco, I am rosponsible for the protection of the lady and her chiidren and th | antee to produce her and the children before any judicial court that may demand her prosence in any matter of litigation. The prisonor: was taken to the New street police | station, and at aquarter to four o'clock sent to the | ‘Tombs Police Court, but as the court had adjourned he was taken back and locked up in the New stroct | police station till this morning, when he will be brought | before a police justice.

BOWEN EXPELLED. Final Hearing of His Case by Plymouth Church. THE ACCUSER’S LAST WORDS. ® A Resolution of Excommunication Passed Unanimously. Henry 0. Bowen was expelled from Plymouth charch last night by the unanimous vote of the members who thronged the lecture room. It will be remembered that on Wednesday night woek, when the resolution for his expulsion was offered, his counsel, Dr. Ward, of the Independent, obtaincd an adjournment until last night to afford his client an opportunity to prepare an argument, whereby he would show cause why tho resolution should not be passed. This was granted, and therefore the lecture room was filled yesterday evening, a8 wore also the parlors on tho side, by per- sons desirous of seeing the last of this contest, Mrs Beechor,\with her daughter-in-law, was present, but Heury Ward Beecher was absent, Shortly before oight o'clock Clarence and John Bowen entered and took scats up im front, directly op. posite the Moderator’s desk. Henry C. Bowen and his counsel did not put in an appearance. After tho arri- valol tho Moderator, Mr. F. M. Edgerton, the pro- ceedings were prefaced with prayer by Mr. H. 3B. White, after which the minutes were read, amended and approved. Then 8. V, White moved that tho resolution for expulsion be- taken from the table, aud it was so ordercd. At this: moment Clarence Bowen stepped up to the Moderator and asked him to | which of the gentlemen in the absenco of the clerk, Mr. Tilney, he should hand a communication. Mr, Edgerton indicated Mr. H. W. B, Howard as the prope person, and to bim young Mr. Bowen nauded a large package and withdrow. A moment of silenco ensued. 1t was broken by the Moderator, woo called attention to the contents of the package, which, according to | Mr, Bowen's accompanying note, was a statement of the reasons why the Church should not excommuni- cate bim, - Mr. A. B. Blair moved that this communication and document be roferred to the Examining Committee. Mr. Shearman thought it bad botter be read; but Mr. Blair pressed bis motion, on the ground that Mr. Bowen had often sent communications of this kind to er had amounted to anything. Furthermore, he bad slighted the summons to attend, and indeed had brokou the tacit agfeemont be had entered into at the last meeting toappear and show cause for his retention in the church, This document might contain statements that ‘no man would dare to utter in person, and that ought not to be heard by the church. . Mr. McKay opposed tho receipt of the document, and wanted the question put on the resolution, but Mr. R. W. Raymond thought that the substance of the paper ought to be known, and Mr. H. C. King was of the same opinion, Alter some further discussion on the propriety of receiving the communication it was agreed, on motion of Mr. F, G. Shearman, to read it for injormation’s sake, BOWEN’S APPEAL In bis lengthy appeal Heary ©. Bowen opens with a preamble, in which he recites the effurts made for two years to effect his withdrawal or removal trom th: church, Hostates that the knowledge of the tacts his ion became public without any fault of h: that he refused to divulge them in order to save the honor of awoman, He then comes tothe discussion of main and real charges against him, which he alleges to be simply one of nce. He thus meets it:- “It my silence is so great an offence, it is an offence not recognized in tho Old Testament or the New, it being nowhere Jai down in the Bible or suggesied as a duty that the man who bas knowledgo of the seeret sin of a neighbor 1s obliged to publish und prove it, be an offence, it 18 une not recognized in any code of Jaws or digest of ethics. It isa matter af very com mov experience that one persou becomes in some cognizant of an offence committed by another, which would, it" published and proved, consign ‘him to prison, but which, for some reason or other, be thinks it wise uot to make kuown. I have had more than one such case in my own experience, and have, on Mr. Beecher’s own advice, forgiven and roe- tained in my service an employé who had robbed me. Nocharch, so far as L know, ever excommunicated a | member for such a concealment, and it is iu itself no Tecognized offence”? Mr. Bowen then treats what maz bo termed a de- velopment of the charge—viz., that his silence ts pecu- Nar:—First, inasmuch as thut, if he has no Informa- tion, he ought to say so and thus clear Mr. Beecher secondly, thatif he hag he should give it to the co: mittee for the purification of the church. He moots this dilemma by saying that he should be but too happy, for Mr. Beecher’s sake, to say he had no information, if such were the case. He urmly de- nies, however, that his obligations to the purity of the church required him to divulge it. “For,” says he— ‘*First—The information cume so coniidentialiy and trom euch a source that I could not honorably give it to the public. “Second—It would be a terrible blow to a woman whom I did not think it_my duty to expose before the worla, I did not know but it maght kill her. It would cor. tainly biacken if not fatally blast her reputation—a loss greater than that of life, Third—Because Plymouth Church did not necd in- formation as to any other woman’s confessions so long as it had neglected to inquire about Mrs. Tilton’s con. |, lessious to nearly a dozen different people. Fourth—Because, when it became evident to me that the olyect of the officers of Plymouth Church was not the purity of tho church, bat the shiciding of its pastor, it followed that I could not out becoming the party (0 @ farce, through their agency, sock the ex- posure of the truth, even if I had m at liberty to do so. He then goes on to contend that there are othor duties to individuals, quite as piacins as those to any society, however sacred. One of these duties ts to screen offenders if repentant and their fault be not a public scandal. He adds that every one of the commit- ORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1876,-TRIPLF SHEET, | ‘tee ought to and would have actod in the same manner | ‘as he himself had done; that the commitiee’s purpose ‘was and is not to use such knowledge for the puritica- tion of the Church, but to injure him. He would not ; nor will he divulge., Ho knows that it would be a heinous wrong aud offence to do so. 1a thus actingand thinking he says he is Jaboring under no hallucination, Mr. Bowen says tho committee further ih contend that it is logical but pormtedty retorts tnat iL logicatity is Lo ground for excommunication, He adda | that it was scandal-seekers of their own number who told him, with a threat, that he most either speak or Jeaye; that the Examining Cominitteo told him, through the mouth of Mr. Blair that*he did wrong in not saus- tym Mr. White and telling all the facts in his knowl- edge. The appellant then asks why Mr, Pratt did not tell him to bo silent, unless he could deny his knowl- edge and why the commnitice did not act in like manner. Io summing up tho reasons for the course pursued by him, Mr. Bowen says:— “it was a iact that I had received from a woman, whom I had every reason to believe, tuli confessions of adultery with Mr. Beecher. I said 80; and I did right. And, in doing 80, I followed as tar as possible the advice of the committee, I refused to go further. My rofusal was right By it spared woman's fame. Under these circumstances I make no further apology for my conduct in telling you that I believed Mr, Beecher to be an adultorer, por- jurer, and hyp.crite; and it was the confessions T had rayeeit received that convinced me many years ago of bis guilt; for— irat—It was truo that I had received such confes- sions, Second—You never advised me to keep still, if it was true; but the contrary, Third—| T lollowed the line of your advice, obeying # | go tar as I could, Fourth—Tho fuct given by me that I had such knowl- edge wi sufficient explanation of my previo and nothing else could explan it Only in movement to expel me, lh—My statement did not injure the woman in- volved and added nothing to Mr. Beecher’s burdens, so | tong as he was calious to the evulcuce which was kept out of court by his resugal to allow Mrs. Tilton to test- ify and to be rebutted and which testimony is to this da} spe held back.” appe' next contends that he has been brought to trtal for nothing cise but for offences said to have been committed in the process of his defence, He contends that whatever he ard or said in thé pro- ‘cess of the cage was legally and morally Priviloged, and should hav h BO treated. uvier’s Law Dis tional first obarge ts thei Jowing terms:—That he jad refusod tw make affirmation or denial that be had made state. ments or d knowledge, He admits tho charge, as at first, but says that he yielded to pressure, Ho aifirms having had tho confession meade to him. socond charge he reduces to havirg made an infamous accuration or accusation against the + containing neither facts nor names of wituesses and that he published it. The charge is admitted, but tho act justified. The third cl of equivocation, Mr. Bowen emphatically denies. Tho fourth charge, of slander, he states is defectively made, not by seordent, bat for urpose of falsely’ pretend- ing to make one charge while making another, is Paes ete lengthy preambie, No slander is adduced, eit! or by tion, in the ification. use the offence specified as slandor is not slander, but silence. Third—Because the prosecution did not, until after Bowen to the fol- ‘Qrgument was indicate im what tl slander consisted. Fourth--Hecauso testimony to justify the slander charged was disallowed. Mr, Bowen concludes :— ‘And now, brethron sebagai ent cane fain your hands I recognize Searveunnes ot ¥e He docs not | is quoted al edcon hae of this view, T.¢ | | Baltamore and Obio Railroad, in_Baltimoro, and tho Pennsylvania Central, in Philadelphia, had long since | P- | to the city and a reproach to the Dock Department; _some action had been taken, otherwise ere long New | and J fully believe taught me from my youth will not forsake me whea 1 am old and gray beaded, To Him is my prayer, “Let,them curse, but bless thou.” ‘The Moderator pe ngaae upon br beg sang of this document, a er 80! ppositior rs HL B.

If Mr. Bowen, he bons) gone'a little farther mn bis logal research he would have learned that an objection to a complaint must be mado, before the trial bogins. The reason Mr. Bowen bad not ee ae Oe speciGcations spoken of was that e sped a word jn reference to them till the case was closed, and then the Examining Committee had offered to reopen the whole matter aad furnish what the de- fendant*demred. fay bape amen that ofier, and it ‘Was preposterous im to complain now, The cnr ‘onthe resolution was then put, and it was carried without a single dissenting voto. ‘The Moderator then rend a letter trom Dr. W. H. Ward, stating that the lattor had sent to Mr. B. L. Pratt the name of the person who told Mr. Ward’s informant - that he thought Mr. Pratt was a tool of Mr. Beecher. Mr. Raymond was rae to receiving any communt- cution ‘from Mr. Ward while toe latter had not apologized for his insult to the church at its last meet- ing. but after some discussion the letter was accepted. The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the chair, to be announced trom the pulpit WHAT NEXT? After the meeting Mr. Henry C, Bowen remarked that “the end was not yeu’? nh whited on and asked whether un appeal were possible er nut, he replied that the church might agreo to the appointment of a mutual council to review its action, or he might call an ex parte council for the same purpose. s NEW, YORK’S GRAIN TRADE. lowship of GREAT DOCK IMPROVEMENTS BY THE NEW YORE CENTRAL—AN ATTEMPT TO RECOVER LOST TRADE—THE TRIANGULAR DUEL BETWEEN NEW YORK, BALTIMORE AND MONTREAL— VIEWS OF THOSE WHO KNOW. At a meeting ot the Dock Commissioners on Tuesday last there was some business transacted which, while not appearing very important, may still prove of the highest consequence to the commerce of New York city. Permission was granted to the New York Cen- tral and Hudsou River Railroad Company to extend the bulkbead between piers Nos. 4 and & Fast River seventy-five feet, for the betrer accommodation of canal boats, Now piers Nos. 4 and 5 are at the foot of Broad street, and any one acquainted with that lo- cality knows that a great business is transacted there, chiefly for the New York Central Railroad, and that flatvoats, barges and steamers of the tarbor and River Transportation Company, of which John H. Starin is manager, crowd these and tho ncigh- boring piers with cargoes of flour, petroleum and grain, The extension of this bulkhead, therofore, was thought to mean that the railroad company were about to com- mence in earnest a system of improvements which the adopted, aud which has so materially assisted the com- merce of those cities at the expense of New York. In order to ascertain the facts a Hrnatp reporter waited on tho engineer of the New York Central Railroad, whose office 13 in the depot at Forty-second street; and recerved the todowing information :—That -the com- y were about extending the bulkhead between piers Nos, 4 and 5 seventy-five feet in order to INCREASE THE TERMINAL FACILITIES and that the improvements ed would not only be of asubstantial butan ornamental character. Plans were shown of oposed pier sheds and explana- tions given of the mannor of opening and closing the entrances by solid sliding doors, whieh conclusively owe that the work 1s not. intended t» be temporary. ‘We are alxo,” said the engineer, ‘‘about to widen pier No. 5 twenty feet, so that 8 OF fiatboats holding ten ‘cars cau be brought from our Sixty-fifth street pier, North River, and ran on the aocks and there unloaded. You can seo what. an advantage this must prove over the present defective manuer of handling ireight. From piers Nos, 25to ®on the North River we are also making an extension of the platform from 150 to 180 feet, and rails will be placed thereon so that cars can bo runontbe piers and conveyed directly into the | city; in fact, the convenience there will be roater than that at the company’s depot at St john’s Park.” (Tho improvements at Sixty-fifth wstrect, North River, are of the finest charactor, and havo becu previously doseribed in the Haran ) “As to whether the energy recently evinced in the improvement of the company’s terminal facilities is because of the cortainty of the continuation of the railroad war I cannot say, but I think it extremely probable tha hayng seen ‘what Philadelphio, Balti- more and MontPeal have accomplished by tmprove- ment of their docks and the erection of elevators, that the Central 1s endeavoring to aid New York iu the same = way. Ne. William H, Vanderbilt, the Vice President of the road, upon being applied to, said thore was no change in the situation of affairs as to the ireight dispute be- tween the trunk lines, and that Mr. Rutter, the general freight agent, was out of the city, but wi returned he should be bappy to fully iniorm the writer of the ation, both within and without New York. THE BUSY PIERS. - The next visit of the reporter was to piers Nos. 4 and 5 Kast River. As already mentioned, they are at the | foot of Broad street, and the locality is one of the ‘Dasiest along the whole river front. In the neign- borhood the great grain deulers havo their ware- houses—the offices of such firms as David Dows & Co,, Jesse Hoyt & Co., are within a stone’s throw; the oi! shippers and produce doaiers occupy stores in Broad, Pearl and Water streets, in the immediate vicinity. Upon the piers were stored immense quan- tities of flour, petroleum and grain, boats were dis- charging and ‘loading, teams were everywhere crowd. ing each other, The piers themselves are a disgrace the planks of the roadway aro ont of pluce and rotten, making it dangerous to man and beast to walk upon them, Mr. John H, Starm, whose office is at No. 125 | Broad street, and whose company owns most of the | boats duing business in tho locality, was sought the reporter for further information as to the ratiroa provements, He said in effect:—“It is about time ‘York would simply become A PACKING HOUSE FOR THE WEST. “The Dock Department, instead of trying'to raise the rents on the wharf property belonging to the city, should rather reduce them, in order to encourage the commerce of New York.

An old grain merchant was spoken to on the sat subject, ana he said he looked upon the tnaugaration of the improvements on the East River by the Coutral road simply as a continustion of the railway war with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore trank roads, The fight was a bitter ono, and ii the railroad whose nat- ural'terminus is in this city does not give merchants the facilities for business thoy will go elsewhere, I know of shippers who have established branch houses in Baltimore because they could bring their there from the West cheaper tian to New York.
