the publications of the American Home Mis-
sionary Society the General Assembly of 1897
having adopted a series of resolutions con-
demning the works issued by this society as
tending to promulgate views which were not
altogether orthodox. Fou; of the presbyteries
of the Church upheld the society and its publi-
cations, and the General Assembly adopted an
other resolution exscinding or accommodating
them and their representatives. When the
General Assembly of 1888 met, representatives
from the four exscinded presbytcries sprc-
sented themselves, but were denied admis-
sion. This action resulted in the formation of
the so-called New School Assembly, composed
of the representatives of the four excluded pres
Dyteries and of such others as sympathized with
them. The breach has become wider and wider
until the present time, when the membership of
the New School connection, as will be seen from
the statistics given below, falls about one-fourth
only below that of the Old School branch.
The close of the great Rebellion witnessed n
general tendency among the membership of all
bodies, civil, social, and benevolent, as well rs
religious, towards union. This has especially
been the case among the various branches of the
Presbyterian Church, and several movements
looking towards harmonious combination of all
these sections have been inauguratcd. The one
which presents the strongest prospect of fulfil
ment, and which is pre-eminently desirable as a
working basis for the final union of all the
branches is the proposed settlement of the diff
ferences between the Old and New School con-
nections, on a platform upon which both
branches can take common stand. The Gene
raj Assemblies of these two connections are now
in session in New York city, and it is understood
that a large share of their time and attention
will be devoted to the discussion of the terms of
union heretofore proposed, which are given in
full in our news columns. The friends of reli-
gious harmony and concerted action for the
moral and social elevation of the human race
have good cause to anticipate the best results
from the contemplated union, if it should be
achieved; and as the ablest and most influential
men in both Assemblies are committed to the
project, its prospects are of the most fattering
character.
As matter of interest in this connection, we
give the number of ministers and members in
each branch of the Church, according to the
latest and most reliable returns. The size of the
two denominations styling themselves the Re-
formed Protestant Church, but known popularity
as the German Reformed and Dutch Reformed,
are also given, as they are practically branches
of the Presbyterian Church, and there is some
prospect that they may in time be brought into
the united fold. The names and extent of the
ynTiOus branches are as fOlOWs:-

FUDGE!

The Inquirer is badly cornered onthe
subject of the State Debt, and tries to
wriggle out of its sorry predicament in
the following style:
In December 1853, just eight years la
ter, all Of Republican rule, taking the
Gdzette'S own statement the debt was
ss,,3s3}, ,28G, 9l6, ,13 But the Gazette forgot
TO make q very important deduction
from this amount At the time OF this
report there were in the State Treasury
stocks, bonds and other funds as assets,
making an Offset from the public debt
to the amount Of Sl0,79j, ,353,G2 beside
% 81 .0I2, ,925,37 in cash making an aggre-
gate of $11 sos, ,2TS, so to be deducted
from the S., ,2S6, ,946, Is and leaving as
the actual debt to be provided for 81, :,
17S, ,G67, II against S1l ,457, ,l67 80.
Is it ignorance, or malice, that is the
parent Of this Misrepresentation For
charity'ssake, we conclude that it is the
former. The stocks, bonds, &C., a.
monnting to SO, ,7g5, ,353.G2, were in the
Treasury during Cor. Packers admins
q fcati0n, and iee'e liQced there By the sale
oCbepu5lic ,CorkS. When Packer went
out Of Office, (since which period the
Radicals have had the State govern
ment) the State Debt was S37, ,969. .Si7.50.
This statement the Inquirer admits to
be true. Ifthe O,795, ,353.G2 of bonds
and stocks in the Treasury (at that time
as well as now be deducted, then the
amount of debt LETT when the Demo
Gratis went out of power was only $27,
IA, 1888. The Inquirer claims that
with the deduction of the above a
mount of bonds, stocks, and money in
the Treasury last Decem Ger, the dett
at present is $21, ,47S, ,667.14. According
to its own figures, then, in eight years
the Radicals have paid Off but a little
over five and half millions. But dur
ing those eight years upwards of t'ce''-
tn ire millions Including the receipts OF
1868 neaIy t,Centy eight millions have
been paid in taxes into the State Treas
ry, which by law should have gone in
TO the Sinking Fund for the payment
OF the State Debt; O sum actually great

of this immense fund? Ay, there's the

record abundant evidence that they

ResofUed, That the nomination Of
Hiram Findlay for State Senator, and
that of Joseph B. Noble and Thomas
Sipe for Representatives, meet our
cordial approval; and wehereby pledge
the people of this Senatorial and Rep
resentative district, that should they
choose these gentlemen to represent
them in the legislature, they will Sc
cure three votes for the repeal OF the
fraudulent ratification of the tlfteenth
Amendment, three votes tor the re-
duction of the expenses of the state
government, and three votes against
the "Rine'' which robs the Treasury
and levies black mail on all who go to
Harrisburg for legislation.
Res0zUed, That the Democratic COun-
ty Ticket, composed as it is of the very
best men in the county, challenges and
will receive our hearty, united and en-
thusiastic support.
ResolUed, That the unlawful demands
of the Radical State officials, on the
Commissioners of the several counties,
for large sums Of money, now that the
State Tax on Real Estate has been re-
pealed, should be investigated by the
legislature and such legislation be had
as will protect the people against these
plunderers.
The meeting then adjourned with
three cheers for Packer, Pershing and

DOESN'T WANT III.

In our issue of August 2Gth, we sta
ted that upwards Of hce,lty IRE millions
of dollars have been gathered into the
State Treasury, since the Radicals came
into power, which under the Sinking
Fund Act, ought to have been applied
10 the payment Of the State Debt, but
that only about four millions and q haf
have been thus applied that the inter
est on the State loans has been increas-
Ell, under Geary's administration, from
. to per cent, that the Radical Off
cials at Harrisburg compel the county
commissioners Of the several counties to
pay State Tar on Real estate out of the
County Lery; and that the people of
Pennsylvania pay upwards Of TioO MI
lions more State Idr per annum, under
Radical rule than they did during Gov.
Packers administration, the last one
under Democratic auspices. We then
proposed that we would forfeit One
Hundred DolIars to any man who
would show that we had made a sin
gle mis-statement in regard to those
matters, and called upon the Inquirer
to point out anything not strictly true
in our allegations. That paper has
failed to come to time. 1t cannot find
