Reunion of Presbyterian Assemblies.

On Thursday, the Goth inst, the two largest
Presbyterian bodies OF the United States assem-
bic BY their delegates in New York city, with the
ayowed object and intention of devisng some
means of uniting upon one common ground.
The moderator OF presbytery in Scotland, in
opening meeting with prayer, said, % lord
grant that we may be right, Thou knowest we
are very Decided" and this decision Of purpose on
the part of Presbyterans in this country has hore.
toiore tended to division of their forces into DIFF
ierent schools and synods, much more creditablC
to their honesty than to their tolerance and char
ity We therefore rejoice in the prospect that
this year reunion of these two schools seems
probable.
In the year 1893 the discussions which had for
many years agitated the Presbyterian church, re-
suited in the disruption aud division of that body
into two Assemblies, which have been popularl,
known as the Old and New Schools the former
numbering last year about 270, 900, and the latter
about 1000. Previously 10 the war tic New
School Presbyterans Of the South formed an in
dependent body, and during the war the Old
School Presbyterians also organized into dis
tnct body in the South and those two bodie,
have been united into one, which meets at Mobil,
on the same day with the two Assemblies in New
York

THAT ALLnNoE.-Ihe Springfield Republican
says that the rumor of triple alliance of Eng
land, France and Spain against the United States
does not find much credence even Mt Washington,
where they can believe almost anything When
General Grant heard of it, as he was smoking
with General Mcclellan, he took his cigar from
his mouth knocked off the ashes, and put it in
again, but said not a word.
Secretary Fish was more communicative, and
told the HeraH reporter he did not believe the
story lie said England had her hands full al
ready, and her peculiar territorial relations in
America would make her hesitate before entering
upon hostilities with the United States France,
Mr. Fish thinks, will be slow to enter into any
such alliance while Bismark lives, and Prussia
stands among the first, il not the first power in
Europe. As for Spain, she can do nothing Such
a proceeding, in the opinion of Mr. Fish, would
give rise to general war in Europe, and end in a
reconstruction Of the map" thereof. Prussia
would take care of France, while Russia would
walk down TO Constantinope and settle the East
ern question in her own way. Spain would lose
Cuba in about seyenty-two hours The State de-
partment has no adyces from Minister Reyerdy
johnson on the subject, which is of no conse-
quence, either way, for treaty might be signed
between the three powers and Reyerdy never sus-
pect it.

~ Mr.. Jacob Thompson, formerly 50 we'll
known in national politics, returned to his home
in Oxford, Mississippi, a fortnight ago. after an
absence Of five years. His old friends and neigh
bors took occasion to welcome him back and in
reply to an address by one Of the prominent men
Of the town Mr., Thompson spoke at some length.
One passage in his speech is interesting as show
ing the advance in ideas which has come even to
one who was supposed to be incorrgible. lie
recognizes the result of the war as a decision that
" we should remain one people, now and forever, -
and concludes that each individual is bound to
contribute his mite to make this people great
people-stroDg, happy, prosperous and glorious. "
lie shares the universal dissatisfaction with the
present condition of the South, but advises that
thepeople submit cheerfully to what is ineyita-
bic and await the dawn of better days. The ex-
ample Of King David, who mourned. iasted and
in his oriental fashion otherwise testified his sor-
row while his child was sick, but after death had
taken the hoy, arose, washed himself put on gay
clothing, and appeared to his attendants with a
cheerful countenance is recommended by Mr.
Thompson to the people Of the South lie shows
them also that while they are waiting in hope for
the time when the State governments shall again
be restored to proper basis, there is work to be
done in preparing to act well their part when
that day arrives
" Let us by industry, skill and economy rear
all the advantages which have been placed within
our grasp by the bountiiul hand Of Providence
in our prolific soil and genial climate. Let us by
the practice of virtue and sobriety, and all the
charities Of life, disarm all criticism Let Us
maintain high standard of education and mo-
possibility, deyolye upon them. Above all, lei
US struggle with hearty good will to build W
the waste places and secure prosperity and plen
ty to our people"

that sooner than make these concessions England
must be " prepared to fight first, at all hazards
and disadvantages" and which speaks Of the
" uselessness of iurther negotiations and the ne

u The next thing for the Pacific Railroad
Company to attend to is the eheapening Of The fare
between the Fast and San Francisco. The direct
control Of the company only extends over the line
from Omaha Westwardly-that is, the Pacific
road proper but they should not only reduce
the price there for passengers and freight to the
minimum, but they should negotiate with all the
Eastern Companies whose lines run in the drec-
ton of Omaha, 50 that through tickets may be
obtained at the lowest rates This is not only IN
the public interest, but in the interest of the
road-whose success will depend largely upon
the terms it may establish for transportation.

II 1t appears that the receipts of internal
revenue tax on distilled spirits, under the present
rate of 80 cents gallon, are now double those
realized under the old tax of So. The old rate
simply offered premium on fraud, and rascals
httened while the treasury suffered. The new
class OF revenue officers, called supervisors, are
proving to be quite eiectual, and TO their efforts
are attributed more income returns this year, in
many districts, than ever before.
