Probable Reunion OF the Presbyterian
Church,

THE news from st. Louis points to the pro-
babe reunion, at no distant period, of the
Old and New School branches of the Presby.
terian Church. The General Assemblies of both
bodies are now in session at st. Louis, and, for
the first time since the rupture in 1887, they last
night met together to discuss the subject of re-
union.
1t is unnecessary to go into the history of the
causes which originally conspired to divide this
great body of Christians. Differences of doc.
trinal opinion, exaggerated far out of their
legitimate Importance. did something the
ambition and overbearing temper of few lead
ing spirits did MORE After the division had
once been made, pride OF opinion, personal re-
sentiments, and gradually diverging tendency
OF opinion between the two bodies upon the
subject of slavery-that great ploughshare of
political and ecclesiastical division-served to
keep them apart. So it has been for thirty
years. A generation has passed away, and the
passions and resentments aroused by the origi-
nal rupture have passed away also. Slavery,
too, has gone out of existence in the darkness OF
attempted revolution.
The doctrinal differences were always charac.
teristic of individuals rather than of the bodies
themselves. Nothing now stands in the way of
reunion of the great Presbyterian family. The
people are almost unanimous for it.. Reunited,
the Church would be one OF the most powerful
of the land in numbers, wealth, and influence.
Its home and foreign missionary operations, its
church erection and publication enterprises, its
colleges and theological seminarles, could be
consolidated, enlarged, and prosecuted with in
creased capital and efficiency, and with greatly
augmented results We trust that so desirable
a contamination may not be far distant 1t will
be signal for that general reunion of organiza.
tions once severed aud kept apart by slavery,
which all must long to see.

A GIANT RADIsH.-The Pail Mall Gazette says:
-''The last new thing in vegetables is really
quite startling wonder. Think of a radish
with seedpods about three feet long, and some
times growing five or six inches in four-aud-
twenty hours We can think OF nothing like it
except Jacks immortal beanstalk, which au-
thentically described plant is nevertheless not
spoken of as good to eat whereas this radish is
said to be as palatable as it is monstrous. The
plant comes from Java, but we are told that it
has been fairly tried in the open ground in
England, and succeeds perfectly WE'LL To add
to its merits, its pods are ready for use in less
than three months alter the seed is sown."

Secretary seward,s signifcapt SDeecb.


MR.. SEWARD, according to his usual custom, has
taken occasion on his recent visit to Auburn
to deliver an utterance upon the topics of
the hour. His speech is chiefly remark
able for its tone of Cancellation between
Congress and the President. He declares that
they disagree only upon non-essentials He
thus groups their agreement upon what ne calls
the 'only essentials:"-
'Ihe representatives of the National Union party
in Congress 90 not agree with the President but 1
think they d fer only IN regard 10 ,non-essentials
Some are understood to insist that the peop of no
State ought TO the right of secession or dis.
union The President says eXacGlo The same thing.
State that should claim to reserve right of seees-
sion cOu d not be loyal Others contend that after
rebellion State ought not TO be accepted which
insists upon or readmits the vadltygOI the debts of
the Rebellion. The President says exactly the same
thing. State that should insist Upon the VALIDITY
OF such debts could not be loval Others argue that
as consequence OF the ABOLITION of slavery change
OF the pa is OF representation has become desirable
and necessary. This can be done only by amend
ing the constitution OF the United States. While
upon the form Of such an amendment. the Presl.
q mt saYs;-'Let us amend the Constitution so as to
proportion representation according TO suff age.'
"Iheseseem to me TO be the only essentials Two
otthem are already secured ny the unFepresented IN
their constitutions The third is work OF time
quirnp the action of hree-fourths OF the States by
amendment OF the Constitution"
1t is especially noticeable here that Secretary
SEWARD fully commits the President to the
policy OF an amendment of the Constitution
upon the vital and allimportant matter of an
equalization OF Che basis of representation.
He denies explicitly that President JoHNsoN's
"plan" is of his own originahon, but says it
grew up necessarily out of the unavoidable
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-05-23
predestined change from war to peace. And
hence he sioniAcantlv remarks,

predestined change from war TO peace. And
hence he Significantly remarks;--
Congress is to be expected, therefore, to concur
with the President, not IN adopting an which he
existing oveituros Of reconciliation in the form in
which thew have occurred. think that the proceed
tngs Of Congress hitherto indicate not an ultimate
dsogreeent and failure, but only
tchich TO the impatient Is iHconvsnieHt and 90 the
tinlid ddTT3ag."
These utterances of the astute Secretary, we
may rest assured are well considered, and have
apurpose. They point unmstakably to re-
conciliaton between Congress and the Presi-
dent
Equally in this line of thought are those sub
sequent passages of his speech where Mr. SEW.
ARD so emphatically asserts the full and entire
power of Congress to determine the loyalty of
those persons who MAY claim seats as members
of that body. He avo ws that ii may adopt any
test or standard for determining, that question
WHICH 1t may choose. He also alludes to the
vetoes OF the President, and saws "all three of
those measures in which the President declined
to concur with Congress are purely extraneous
incidents, and have no necessary or real bearing
upon the question of reconciliation"
Mr.. SEWARD sums up the whole matter in one
of these hopeful bursts which are so character
istic Of him as political optimst:-
al am hopeful of the President, hopeful of Con
gress, hopeful OF the National Union party, hopeful
OF the Democratic parry, hopeful of the represened
and unrepresented States, above ALL hopeful of the
whole people, and hopeful OF the continued favor OF
Almighty God, when | shall return here from the
field Of pubic service, and shall come to m,nge once
more in your quiet and peaceful pursuits"
The roseateness of this view may not be
accepted by all who remember Mr.. SEwARDs
celebrated ''ninety days" speech in the early
part of the war; still it is not q bad thing for
the country, either at home or abroad, that we
have one statesman who so habitually looks on
the bright side of affairs, and so pelsistently
proclaims the greatness and glory of the re.
public. We hope, at the very least that this
speech will serve to reassure our melancholic
Democratic brethren, who are just now so fear
tul that constitutional liberty is being badly
damaged at the hands OF Congress.

Senator Wilson's Bill for Equalizing
Soldiers BOunties.

THERE is no topic upon which m ore complete
unanimity exists among all our Union soldiers
than upon that of fair and just equalization
of bounties. 1t is well known that the thou
sands and tens of thousands of gallant men who
rushed to the field at the earlier calls of the
Government, did so without the stimulus of
bounties. At a later period high bountes were
paid both by the general Governmen and by
the States, and in many instances by cities and
counties also. Justice requires that the early
soldier who went voluntarily to the field unin-
auenced by the hope of pecuniary re ward shall
not now be forgotten by his country.
Senator WILSON'S bill, reported to the Senate
yesterday, goes upon the simple principle of pay
ing to every Union soldier, sailor, and marine
of the late war, a bounty of eight and aIhalf
dollars per month for the time he was in SER
vice, deducting therelrom any bounty or prize
money he may already have received or be en-
titled to. 1t is estimated that it will require the
sum of one hundred and eighty.fve millions of
dollars to pay these bounties
We regard this as a sacred debt, due in all
honor and honesty to the men who saved the
country in its hour of supremest peril; and we
trust that Senator Wilson's bill will pass.

PASSED AT LAsT.-At every session since the
organization of tine Republican party, an effort
has been made to secure the passage of gene
raj Bankrupt Law 1t seems that the Repre-
sentative OF Rhode Island has made this bill his
speciality, as each successor has taken the in.
Ierest felt by the former occupant of his seat
upon himself and pressed the claims of The bill.
IL has been universally defeated by vote of
not more than twelve majority against it. Yes
terday the persistent efforts of Mr.. JRNoKEs were
rewarded with success, and the bill passed by
majority of nine. Its principal provision is that
any debtor, whose liabilities exceed three
hundred dollars, may come before United
States District Court, swear to his inability TO
pay, and surrender all his estate into the hands
OF an assignee. If in after years he acquires
property, that property cannot be seized by his
former creditors. 1t virtually removes the load
from an insolveht debtor and gives him an in.
centive to energy and hope for future success.
