The Gold and Stock Markets.
Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
New YORK, May 27.-Gold opened this morn
ing at 1885, from which point the premium
gradually fell off to 13S9l. Subsequently there
was marked recovery in the tone of the mar
kettle premium at one time reaching 1898
1t is palpable, however, that there can be
no permanent recovery in the price of gold in
the absence of some commercial demand for it,
which can only arise from an improvement in
the exchange market. The recent high rates of
gold tempted the cliques to sell out and go
short. From being bulls they are, therefore,
now become bears, and the market feels the
weight of their influence. The stock market is
better, quotations being little higher but sales

The New York Perjury Case.
Despatch to The Ereni1lg Telegraph
New YORK, May 27-The McIIenry perjury
case was before the United States Circuit Court
this afternoon. William Orton, President Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, being
called by the defense, testified that he was re-
tanned by Pike to effect the release of Pixies
establishment, and settlement of the charges
made against him by Collector Bailey; that he
was retained on account of his experience in
legal points touching the internal revenue; that
the matter was settled by Pixies paying so, 900
into court through him (Orton) and that witness
never paid the Government officers anything to
have this or that matter settled. The case was
then adj ourned until Friday
The Presbyterian Assemblies
this morning agreed on basis of union. The
union shall be effected on the doctrinal and
ecclesiastical basis of our common standards.
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments
shall be acknowledged to be the InspiredWord Of
God, and the only infallible rule of facts and
practice. The confession of faith shall continue
to be sincerely received and adopted, as contain
ing the system of doctrine taught. The HolyScrip-
lures and the government and discipline of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States shall
be approved containing the principles and
rules of our polity. Each of the said assemblies
shall submit the foregoing basis to its Presbyte-
ries, which shall be required to meet on or be-
fore the 18th day of October 1869, to express
their approval or disapproval of the same.
The Presbyterian churches in the United
States of America, that whose General Assembly
convened in the Brick Church in the city of New
York on the Goth day of May, 1869, and that
whose General Assembly met in the Church of
the Covenant in said city on the same day, shall
be reunited as one Church. under the name and
style of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, possessing all the legal aud
corporate rights and powers pertaining to the
Church previous to the division in 1888, and all
the legal and corporate rights and powers which
| the separate churches now possess the General
Assemblies sitting SHALL after finishing theil
| business, adjourn to meet in the city of Pitts
| burg on the second Wednesday of November
| 1869, at II o'clock A. NJ.
| If the two General Assemblies shall then fine
and declare that the above named basis of re
] union has been approved by two-thirds of the
| presbyteries connected with each branch of the
| Church, then the same shall be of binding force
| and the two assemblies shall take action accord
| ingly.
| DR.. MusgrOve then made few explanatory
| remarks. He said it was the only conceivable
basis on which he was willing to vote for a re-
union. The others have added something, ol
have been ambiguous. This embodies the sount
doctrine of Calynism, from which he was no
| willing to swerve.

Roasted.

In its description OF the explosion of an immense
gasOmcter, the Cincinnati Commercial says:-
The most terrible feature of the affair was q spec
tacle towards which ten thousand banched faces OF
the crowd which collected were upturned-that OF a
large powerful naked man, black and blue and red
in hlOtches, who had been at work on the frame OF
the holder, and who still sat on one of the pillars.
The man had been roasted alive, and yet he lived,
and moved little, and retained his consciousness,
he covered there, in corner, the base of the
capital of one of those tall and stately monuments.
He waiting for relief. He felt that he was grow
ing weak and might not long be able to hold himself
there, and he called piteOusly to those who were
bringing the ladders TO hurry up. He wanted to
reach the ground and see his wife and
three children, whose terrible anguish he felt and
knew. And so this fearfully suffering man, whose
mutiated trunk and limbs were thrown out in bold
relief against the shining backness OF the tarred and
painted angle OF ornamental iron work, waited
there, fifty feet or more above the ground, while
long ladder of the Fire Department was elevated to
him. The crowd shuddered and wondered as they
looked there and saw this naked dying man slowly
raise himself to standing position, as he leaned
against the column, climb over the attCed brace
fOr the ladder was the other side, and then, in
his great strength and endurance, actually descend
as would fireman, only quite slowly and with man
preceding him to steady his steps. 1t seemed as
though he must fall to pieces, as would an over
boiled chunk of beef! The poor fellow died at six
o'clock.

That 'GOOd Old Man' is Heard From Again.
Smalley, the London Tribune correspondent, writes
the 18th OF this month Mr. Senator Grimes is at
his old work of giving aid and comfort to the enemy,
the party in England that hates America The letter
in the Times Of May 12, signed "An American Cti-
zen" may suppose be assumed to be Mr.. Grimes
production, being dated from the lodging
where he is staying. He writes apparently
with the object of belittng Mr.. Summers
Mr.. Summers views only and published at
his own request and against the wish of the Senate
or at least without any desire being expressed by
anybody else for the removal of the injunction OF
secrecy He assures the British public that the sole
grievance of America is the escape of the Alabama
and the cordial reception and support afterwards
given her i'll English ports; resentment at the re-
cognition of the Rebel belligerency, and the sym
pathy shown with the South being only 'the
establishment of the advocate and orator. -
right to say so; but if they true, then
what all the newspapers in America have
been saying for the last six months is not true and
as between Mr. Grimes on the one hand, and the
whole American press on the other am inclined to
believe the latter. 1t is only just to Mr. Grimes to
say that his letter is animated by the most pacific
sentiments and to some parts Of it no objection
need be made But 1t is, unluCkily, conceived in the
ReYerdy johnson vein, and we are by no means
in need OF amateur or volunteer successors
to that departing speeCh-maker Moreover,
Mr. Grimes ought to know that he commits
a folly in writing to The Times at ALL There are
special cases, where the emnenCe OF the writer in
Mr. MOtleys case, early in the war, compes The
Times to print letter damaging to itself and to the
ant-Amercan SIDE of which it was and is the un-
tons The Times publishes only such American letters
it thinks likely to njure the they are meant
to defend. 1t has printed Mr. Grimess letter fol
that reason and chuckes over it to-day.
