the arms and paws of another grizzly: the
back and sides are also orDame ted with
immense claws. The seat is soft and ex-
ceedingly comfortable, but the great ''fea-

cord, the head of a monstrous grizzly
bear, with extended jaws, will dart in

Missionaries Needed in New Eng
land. lt5r ..r.r .'9

In the course of the discussion on the Re-
port of the Committee on the Board of Do
mestic Missions, in the Old School Presby-
terian General Assembly at Pittsburgh,
J Rev. G. W. ADAMS, of the Presbytery OF
Connecticut, made vigorous and perth
nent speech, reminding the Assembly that
no adequate provision had been made for
missionary effort and missionary labor in
New England. He said that in the Provi-
dence of God he had been called to labor In
that field; but he would have thanked Him
if He had called him elsewhere! Yet, as
he was there, he wanted the Assembly to
send other laborers; for there was no part
of the country in which orthodox preach
ers had such an immense work to do-not
even in the South, about which so much had
been said. He said that everything bad,
which was to be found throughout this
great country, could be traced as having its
origin .'down East! All kinds OF hetero-
doxy, whether found in books or in the
public mind, were started "down East!
All the isms and schisms, that are fatal to
pure morality and true religion, come from
"down East'l In short, said Mr.. ADAMS,
we want help from this Assembly in New

North Carolina.

The President has promptly responded
to the reviving spirit of loyalty in North
Carolina, by naming Mr. Holden Provis-
ional Governor, by proclaiming liberal
terms for the assembling of convention of
citizens prepared and entitled to take the
amnesty oath, and by opening wide the
door for the early return of the State to her
place in the Union. The grand feature of
the Presidents plan is its simplicity. He
imposes no conditions but those of simple
obedience to the laws and support of the
proclamations:of the National Government.
He leaves the question of suffrage-without
regard to negroes or whites-to be deter
mined by the convention, or the Legisla-
ture constituted and organized by that
body.
Only such voters (taking the, amnesty

The StatesiMah has Done mo Such
Thing.


The State Journal of Wednesday morning
says that "THB STATESMAN finds fault with"
its announcement In Saturdays Journal OF
the fact that Gov. BRouGH had written
letterto the Mayor of Cleveland, contribu-
ting ON behalf of the State $1,000 to the
fund to provide for the reception OF Ohio
soldiers to be mustered out of service at
Camp Cleveland, ''nor did THE STATESMAN
lash itself into ill-humor, and misrepresent
things generally"
., Perhaps, The Journal is excusable for It's
misstatement in relation to THE STATESMAN,
inasmuch as it does not habitually read The
STATESMAN, and usually knows nothing
about its contents, save as retailed to it
by somebody else, who probably takes adj
vantage of its Incidence aud credulity.
What The STATESMAN did in this matter
was simply to state that this $1,000 donation
was represented in the columns OF The Jour
nal as made in the name of the State, and by
the Columbus special of The Cincinnati
Gazette ''as his (BRoUGH's) contribution"
We did not question the authority for
this contribution; but we did, In hum
bleness of spirit, and in gentlemanly and
modest language, inquire whether
"'Offcial Integrity and his friends intend
! this little newspaper puff to be con-
strued by the readers as prirate donation
by Official Integrity out of his own pri-
yate funds" These conflicting represen-
tations left us in doubt. We knew that If
the contribution were indeed out of Gov.
BRouGH's own private funds it deserved to
be classed as little short of miracle; for
never before had we heard of his bestowing
donations from his own funds upon any
body or on anything; and we wished to
chronicle it accordingly. In this age OF
selfshness, it is something worthy of spe-
cial mention to find grasping official be-
coming imbued with liberal spirit. The
Journal repels, with an indignant intona-
ton, the intimation that the Governor
should have INDUCED in any such praise
worthy liberality with his own money, in
the following language:
"The Governor distinctly states that the
contribution is on behalf Of the State"
That is as much as to say: "What! do
you think Governor BRoUGH would indulge
in such liberality with his private fundss
You don't catch him doing any thing OF
that sort. 1t is only with the funds OF the
public that he is thus liberal"
The Journal gives us to understand that,
inasmuch as there are only three places in
the State where troops are to be gathered
for discharge, the Governor will deal out
the funds of the State, with impartial lib
erality, to each of them. r~i.

The Old School Presbyterian Gem
@ eral Assembly. ~

The 10Th of May was an exciting day in
this body. In addition to the usual morn
ing and afternoon sessions, there was long
night session, which closed amid great con-
fusion, according to report of the proceed
ings that lies before us. Early in the morn
ing session, the Committee on Bills and
Overtures, to whom had been recommitted
the Committees Minute and the "Lord
Memorial" against the Southern Synods,
Presbyteries, Churches, Preachers, Elders,
and Members, submitted1a new Report,
which seems to be no Improvement, either
in spirit9or purpose, on the original Minute
and Memorial. This Report elected a
stormy and excited discussion, which con-
tinued until late hour at night, when the
Assembly was adjourned by the Moderator,
amid great confusion, as has already been
stated. Amendments were offered during
the day, whose spirit was more in ac-
cordance with the teachings of our
holy religion; but. they were summarily
voted down. Some of the ablest and
best men Of the Assembly implored
its members to pause in their wild and in
considerate course, before it should be too
late; but the current of wild fanaticism and
vengeful passion swept on in an ever
widening stream, submerging everything
before it. And thus the Assembly closed
the labors of the TENTH DAY with prayer
by the Moderator!
The sessions of the 30th of May were no
less stormy and exciting than those of the
preceding day. The discussion on the Re-
port against the Southern lPresbyterians
was continued, and several able and pow
erful speeches were made In opposition to
it. An attempt was made to substitute the
"Lofd Memorial" for the Committees Re-
port, which, however, failed by majority
of 81 votes. The Report was afterwards
adopted. A protest against this action Of
the Assembly was presented by Rev. s. r.
WILSON, d. D.. signed by himself and 9TH
ers, which was spread upon the Journal
This body held another night session, and
disposed of other unfinished business very
rapidly; after which 1t adjourned. I

The sIanacIing of JEFF: Davis.

The Baltimore Sun, The Boston Post Ne,o
York World, and other journals, discredit
the story of JEFF. DAVIS having been man
acled. They look upon it as story that
has been invented to create sympathy for
JEFF. DAVIS and to make the United States
Government appear unenviable in the
presence of all civilized Governments.
These journals may be right in their opin-
ion, though we feel confident that there are
men connected with the Administration
who think that they will stand justified in
any indignity they may offer to JEFF.
DAVIS. Col. FoRNEY talks of isapproach-
ing trial in a manner to convey the impress
sion that Judge CARTIER, before whom he is
to be tried, has already made up his judg-
ment. and that the trial will be merely for
the sake of form.
The clamor is for vindictive executions,
and those who clamor Tor them have per-
suaded themselves to believe that it is the
only way by which ''treason" can be rem
dered odious. They do not stop to reflect
what influence such executions may have
on the great work of paciication, or how
they will be viewed by the civilized world.
History conclusively proves that no Gov
ernment has ever lost anything by the ex-
ercise of clemency towards its citizens who
may have been guilty of insurrection orre-
bellion. Before the world our Government
now stands as the most powerful. To this
reputation it should add that of clemency
and humanity. And if it shall do this and
thereby give speedy and permanent pacifi-
cation to the country, it will outrank all
other Governments in all the elements of
