New York, May 27.—With perseverance characteristic of Presbyterians, and especially of western Presbyterians, the California men won In the contest for the privilege of entertaining the general assembly next year. It was a spirited contest between Ohio and California, as Cleveland and  Angeles were the competitors. Los Angeles had given a pledge in writing that It would entertain the commissioners and the officers of the assembly free. Cleveland had not given a pledge, but one of Its elders, whose name has Jieen attached to many a cheek for religions, educational and philanthropic institutions, said, with a childlike simplicity, that he would put his pocketbook into the hands of the stated clerk as an evidence of good faith In the statement that Cleveland would do whatever the assembly expected her to do.

The fact that (ieneral rhall'ee dissented from the recommendation of the court Is not at all remarkable. It has frequently been the ease that the reviewing authority dissents from the findings of the court, but he must approve the sentence no matter how inadequate or unjust it may be in his opinion."
