THIRD EDITION
THE PREsBYTERIANs.
PrOct ediDRs OF tho OId school and New
bob0Ol General AanemhIiea

ST. LOUIS May A.-The proceedings of the
Old School Asse mbly to-day consisted mainly OF
the reading of the report of the committee on
the Louisville Presbytery case. The report
reviews the declaration aud testimony put forth
by that body, and considers it an evidence OF
organized conspiracy against the Church, and
concludes with series of resolutions which
declare the Presbytery of Louisville dissolved.
new Presbytery is to be constituted, to be
called by the same name and to occupy the
same territory, and have the care of the same
churches; the said Presbytery to be composed
OF so many ministers and elders as shall sub
scli6e to the disappro7al OF the declaration and
testimony, and obey the General Assembly. All
ministers Of the late Louisville Presbytery who
60 not apply for admission to the new Presby.
terry, and subscribe to the above disapproval
within two months from its organization, their
pastoral relations with the churches under the
care OF this Assembly shall be dissolved.
The Assembly di sclaims any intention or dis.
position to disturb existing relations of the
churches, ruling elders, or private members,
but rather to protect them in the enjoyment of
their rights and privileges in the churches.
Their choice of these would reduce them
into an abandonment of the heritage of their
fathers.
DIR. E. P. Humphrey offered substitute
strongly condemning the declaration and testi-
mony, and urging the Louisville Presbytery to
forbear further agitation of the subject, and to
return to its loyalty to the Church, and report
10 the next General Assembly its action in the
premises, said action to be then decided upon
by the Assembly.
AT the evening session DR.. Thomas made a
long speech in favor of the report of the com
mlttee. The Louisville Commissioners declined
an invitation by the Assembly to defend the
action of their Presbytery.

by stopping them. So, again, the necessity for

these causes.

BOUNTY ACT.-Frorn the OFF 3ial copy of
the Bounty Bill, sent out ba the State De-
partment, it appears thatthe first section of
the act provides that one hundred dollars
additional bounty shall b. plid to those vol
unteers who have enlisted since April 10th,
1861, have served fllll three years, AMI have
already been paid one hundred dollars boun-
ty, and to those of the above class who have
been honorably discharged for wounds, anl
to the heirs of those who died in tlrn service
of wounds. or disease contracted in the SER
vice. The second section is totally inopsra-
tive, as it applies to not u single soldier who
has served in the army. Theirs wa a boun-
ty Of fifty dollars authorized blythe act of
March Sd, 1853, to be paid to such Of the vol
unteers who had servednine months ~orless,
provided they re-enlisted for one year in a
regiment from the same State upon any fu-
ture requisition of the President for militia,
but the section does not apply to this class,
because the service is less than two years
No other class of volunteers or militia was
ever entitled to or ever ptiI a bounty of fit
ty dollars, and consequently not one cent
can be expended under the second section
of the act.

what they Mean.

In Vermont and Maine, the Republicans
are overwhelmingly in the majority, and
they do not hesitate to express their opin-
ions for negro suffrage in plain and direct
English. Thus, in Maine the Republican
State Convention declares:
"ReSolved, That we hold that oil men,
without distinction of color or race, are enti-
tied to the utmost civil and political right
Vermont wheels into line in the following
fashion:
ResolUed, That we vet insist that every
scheme Of restoration is imperfect that is not
based upon equal and exact justice to all,
and the equal rights, personal ciuH amt po-
Hticdt, of all loyal citizens, irrespective O
color orfdce."
In other States, like Ohio, Indiana and IL
linois, they resort to some indirection-
cheating and lying about the matter; bu
they mean the same thing, and will ulti
mately, if successful, arrive at the sam
goal.
