DISPOSED To doubt the benefits OF Life Insurance,
and the desirsbleness Of efscting . policy 70

small sums annually, large amount at their

~ como 20 our knowledge. The late Daniel
Smith, IT., of Sseo. some Ave years ago took

UNION OF THE OLD AND New SCHOOL
PREsBYTERIANs-For a long time past
the subject of a union of the Old and
New School Presbyterian bodies in
this country has been debated in Cen
eral Assemblies, Synods, Presbyte.
ries, Sessions, and among the peo-
pie in the churches. The distinctions
of the two bodies being almost with
ont difference, the people of both
communions have long felt that it
was their duty to come together in
form, as they have long ago united in
heart. There is nothing in the way
Of this union excepting the respect
for technicalities growing out of the
very forms 0! government which both
bodies alike hold to be the best cal
culated to promote the cause of Chris
tianity, as it is preached in their pull
pits and taught in their schools and
to the end that all obstacles to a union
should be removed a conference of
members from both churches met in
New York last week, and whatever
the members may agree to recon-
mend will undoubtedly be ratified by
the respective General Assemblies
which meet next May.

Personal and Political.

The Republican State Conven-
ton of Rhode Island, held at Providence,
Friday, renominated General Burnside for
Governor, and the Congressional Conven-
ton renominated Thomas 4. Jencks and
Nathan F. Dixon for Congress in the First
and Second districts.
The House thought it worth while
to have a committee to investigate sundry
allegations of political bargaining between
the President and the Members of Congress.
The result is, Mr.. John Wentworth's rather
uninteresting report wherein much is hint
ed but nothing fully discovered-and the
whole ends in smoke.
The Union State Convention of
Kentucky is a good contrast to the late Reb-
el-Copperhead demonstration therein. The
Convention is sturdy protest against Ken
lucky Conservatism and pledges its loyalty
TO the true Union men of the country and
their party in Congress. The Convention
nominated for Governor Col Sidney NJ.
Barnes, and full ticket of loyal and able
men.
Rev. G. II. Spurgeon, the celebra-
ted Baptist pulpit orator, of London, is ex-
pected to be in attendance at the meeting of
the American Baptist Union, in Chicago in
May next.
Gen Grant is now fairly in op-
position to Andrew Johnson and his policy.
A provision in the military appropriation
bill, which restricts the power of the Presi-
dent as Commander-in-C Chief of the army
and navy, was inserted after consulting
Grant.
Coy. Geary has appointed John
Stauffer, Of Lancaster county, and Captain
VIM. d. Franks, of Philadelphia, whiskey
inspectors at Philadelphia.
Ex-Governor Aiken, of South Car
olina, is a dethIoned stakeholder who, in
the very hottest time of secession, preserv-
ed, if not a neutral attitude, at least an ad-
mirable equanimity, and is to-day confded
in by the Union officers in that State.
The Washington Republican says
that the tender of the Boston Collectorship
to George Bancroft was merely compliment
tary, because it was understood that his lit
erary engagements made it impossible for
him to undertake the duties OF the office.

dutins Of President during it's session.
The Senate went into executive ses-
sion, and when the hour of IL o'clock
arrived the acting President declared
the Senate of the Thirty-ninth Con-
gress adjourned SINE die
The Senate of the Fortieth Congress
was Immediately called to order by
Mr.. Wade, President pro tenn, and af-
ter prayer by the Chaplain the newly

braska drew lots for the long and
short terms, Mr.. Thayer drawing the

1871, and Mr. Upton the short one,

PROGRESS.

The colored citizens of George
town voted on Monday for the first
time. Many Of them have been
slaves-all of them the victims Of
prejudice, neglect, and oppression.
No test Of Intelligence was made !;
the most illiterate voted side by side
with the most learned. The Demo-
cratic papers predicted that, in case
the colored people were enfranchised,
such would be the influence of their
masters over them that they would
vote as they were bid. 1t was also
suggested that drink of whiskey
would buy them How utterly these
ISLANDERS were refuted by the quiet,
self-possessed, unanimous action of
the colored people, the Republican
success Of Georgetown bears testi-
mony. Georgetown, tho hot-bed of
pro-slavery prejudice, has been taken
from the control Of that reactionary
element, and has received a new i'm
petus for material and political pro-
gress, and we hope to see, next June,
Washington city become a Republi-
can city.
Throughout the whole South, the
colored population will range itself
with unfaltering fidelity to the cause
Of the Union. They have been op-
pressed too long they hold the in
estimable privilege of the ballot too
sacred to cast it against their friends
and their interests. In few months
number of Southern States will
present themselves reorganized, with
State governments and Senators and
Representatives, in accord with the
dominant political and religious SEN
timent Of the nation then the cur
ious spectacle will be seen of the
Democratic party which has clamor-
ed SO loudly for immediate admission,
resisting, as best they may, the ad-
mission of these States.
In the election Of Georgetown the
future of the South may be read.
Everywhere loyal whites will cooper
ate with their colored friends and
fellow-citizens to drive from power
the influential traitors who have
brought desolation on the country.
The time is not distant when treason
will be more odious at the South
than at the North.

ORPHANS OF PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS.
The report of Thomas 81. Burrowes,
Superintendent of Soldiers Orphans,
states that during the past year four
new schools have been established,
and three additional schools, now re-
quired, will be organized as soon as
possible There have been admitted
during the year 1875 children, and
the total number of scholars on the
lst of December was 2658, of which
1891 were boys, and 1867 girls.
These are all cared for until they
reach the age of sixteen, when they
are discharged, being judged compe.
tent at that age to do something
towards earning a livelihood. The
total expense of the system for the
year ending November 80 was $685.
349 26, which is a small sum when
we consider the benefits which are to
be derived from it,
