There is now in Sc sion in this city. and has been
since the Goth instant, the General Assembly of
| the Presbyterian Church in the United States"
comprising a representation from one hundred and
| six Presbyteres. distributed among twenty one
Synods and amounting to one hundred and eighty
nine ministers and eders, inclusive of eight cor
| responding members from different Con egational
Associations. and other religious denominations
| and coming from all parts of our country--from
Maine to California, and MINES TIA to Alab
The separate existence of this body, as contra
distinguished from the General Assembly of
| the Presbyterian Church in the Unite ed States,o
now in session in Charleston, and bearing the
same name, occurred in 1888, in the city Of Phila-
delphia, aud was the result Of an attempt 10 pre-
| serve the Presbyterian Church in its integrity
ls constitutional basis, and to Illustrate the revolu
uonary attempt at ACKNOWLEDGMENT, by the ex-
scinding vote Of majority in the General Assem-
bly, OF 1887 which, by the ruling OF the Moderator
and that majority, excluded the representation
from four Synods, twenty eight Presby teres, five
hundred and nine ministers, five hundred and
ninety nine churches, and sixty thousand commu,
nicants, from voting on that exscinding act. The
two great parts into which the body became re-
solved, appeared subsequently liigants before
the supreme court OF the State of Pennsylvania,
which decided that the General Assembly organ
lied in 1888 for the preservation Of is integrity 10
the Presby Church of the United Statrs on the
basis of its constitution Judge Rogers, of the su-
preme court OF the State OF char ged
| aud jury rendered their verdict in favor OF that
part OF the Presbyterian Church which resisted the
| exscinding act. When the case was carried up to
the full bench, trial conceded, but il was
| ruled that very essential part OF the evidence
| should be excluded That new trial has not yet
been originated. Decisions have been had, in diff
ferent courts in different States, and also in differ
ent courts in the State of Pennsylvania, which
generally, if not altogether, in the of particu
lar congregations, have been in accordance with
the principles stated in the charge of Judge Ro
gers, and the verdict Of the jury in the first trial
parts, as they exist in TACT, and claim the
| name. The Assembly now in session in this city
has never scceded from the other, but still main
tains ts organization the bass OF the cunstitu-
ton and the integrity of the Presbyter Church
The other Assembly maintains their organization
consistently with their exscinding act, and the ba-
| sis adopted after it.
