PRESRYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEM-.
RIIES.

ST. LOUIS, May 25.-The subject of the
reunion of the Old and New School
Churches was reported upon in the Old
School Assembly to-day. The plan suggest
cd is for the appointment of a committee of
nine ministers and six elders, to meet a SIM
liar committee Of the New School Assembly,
who. after consultation, if they deem re-
union desirable and practicable, are to re-
port measures for its accomplishment to the
next General Assembly.
A motion by DIR. Van Dyke, that the
Confederate Assembly be invited to join in
the union, was tabled.
The report Of the committee was adopted
by large majority.
The remainder Of the day was mainly Oc-
cupied by DIR. Thomas and Dr. William
Breckenridge in speeches relative TO the
Louisville Presbytery case, the latter taking
the ground that the Assembly has no right
TO ignore the existence Of the Synod, and
act directly with the Presbytery.
The Old School Assembly take an excur-
sion to Pilot Knob Iron Mountain to-
morrow

WHERE THE FENIAN MONEY WENT

The Fenian Committee of Investigation
are unearthing some strange facts, as to
where the money went. Immense sums
were daily received from the organizations
throughout the country. This money was
paid out in the most indiscriminate and
reckless manner. For instance, a Colonel
Mulcahy was given a rowing commission,
with the snug little sum of 81 900 for some
unknown and mysterious cause. $4,000 was
drawn to remunerate pilots who were to lead
an imaginary fleet to Ireland. A head
directress Of the FenianhOod Sisterhood re-
ceived 81 SEQ for her services, and her clerk
$500 year. One Mr.. J. j. Rogers now re-
signed or decapitated, received SD a day
for his services in the army of suffering Ire
land The board bill Of the Military Con-
vention, which was in session at Sl4 Broad
way during the interval that the Congress of
Pittsburg was in session, amounted to S23,
600. Hundreds of thousands of dollars dis
appeared in n most miraculous manner, and
still contributions came without stint The
sum now remaining in the Union Square
Treasury does not exceed Sll, 900.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL-On
the fourth page this morning will be found
the law establishing the Metropolitan Police
Board. We have, while the bill was pend
ing, expressed an opinion as TO its propriety
and justice. Ii is now the law, and as it in
PRODUCES an entirely new system Of police
management, our readers will, Of course,
feel interested to know its purport and pro-
visions
Ii viii be seen from our legislative report
that the Senate refused to confirm two Of the
nominations for commissioners Mossrs.
Brown and Sparkling.
The 4lst section Of the law applies to this
city, and provides for the appointment Of
of ho0 commissions. Unless there has been
some amendment subsequent to the passage
of the bill, we do not see whence the Gov
ernor derived the power to appoint three. II
there has been such amendment we have not
been advised of it,

REPORT on THE MEMPHIS RIoTs.-
Major Gilbert, the officer sent by General
Howard to investigate the Memphis riots,
has made partial report on the subject.
From il we extract the following:
THE civil authorities have not taken the
slightest notice Of the terrible riots, and
seem 20 regard them as simply a skirmish
between the police and negroes. Ii was
certainly very one-sided skirmish, as, from
the testimony, no resistance was made by
the negroes AFTER the first night. The citi-
Hens have been advised to hold a meeting
and denounce the conduct Of the mob, but
still they either neglect or refuse 20 do 50.
"The papers of Memphis are at the root Of
the whole matter. They have melted riot
aud murder for months, and this is only n
Legitimate result OF their infammatory ar
ticles; and these poor whites, between whom
and the negroes feud has always existed,
have been but their tools
