Since writing you lsst week Of the meeting
of the Gonera Assembly Of the United Preaby-
lie former "old schoolP and 6 New School"
bodies, events have occurred which render it
by no meana improbable that other very con-
adorable branches Of tho Presbyterian Church
may be reunited to the larger body, and that
before long all the .sub-sects OF Presbyterian
ian may coaleece into one organic body.
On Friday last resolutions were submitted
to the General Assembly By tho Rev. Dr..
Adame of New fork, looking to reunion with
the Southern Presbyterian Church, whose
General Assembly is now in session in Louis
vile, Ky. The resolutions, which were unani-
mous1y adopted, are as follows:
WheItus, This Genetal Assembly, believing that
tho interests OF the Kingdom Of our Lord tnrougl-
out our entire country viii be gradually promoted
WnENEss, The General Assembly desires the
speedy estaNliah1ucnt OF cordial lE2ternal relations

| respect, and Christian honor and love:

VILE SUBSTITUTE FOB FUN.

The circus business is likely to be-
come a lost art if the Ku-klux Or
ganization is to be continued as
the chief delight of the South.
The great Oriental Circus under Ames
was suppressed in some part of Georgia
because rowdy concluded that the man
ager would make a good target. And
Richardson's Circus was invaded by
twelve six-foot rufians, who pointed to
their revolvers as their tickets to front
seats. Circuses do not pay with this sort
of patronage to keep them alive, so Rich
ardson has disbanded his company, can
celed his Southern tour, sold his horses,
housed his animals, and quit the
business until the country learns how to
suppress the revolver. Ten or twelve
men in remote communities have thus
managed to suppress the fun of an entire
section. And now the children will see
Mr.. Merryman no more, and their youth
full eyes will fall short of the monkeys,
the balloons, the camels and the beautiful
woman on the swift rolling horse. 1t is
too bad that a party Of men, with faces
like balloons, have been allowed to set
themselves up as the only show in the
South
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-11-30
TOO LATE TO BE INTERESTING,

If the Times could conveniently spare
the time to inquire about the assessment
levied on the government officials during
the last canvass, it might secure informa-
ton to the effect that no such levy was ever
assessed. This little fact, in addition,
might have the effect Of relieving it Of the
melancholy duty of coming objurgations
for the party that bleeds it's holders,
or else destroys them. The Republican
party, in the last election, collected sub
scriptions to carry on the campaign, and
the public officers gave literally, and of
their own free will, to the success of the
canvass. They were not required to dc
so, and in many instances gentlemen
holding responsible positions under the
Federal and State administrations failed
to contribute of their salaries, because
they did not consider themselves in a
position to do so.
As to the rule enforced at Washington,
for the first time in many years the clerks
in the departments were relieved from the
necessity of paying assessments. They
were solicited for contributions, but the
payment Of the same was left entirely to
their discretion. The other rule was
adopted. under the Democratic admins
trations of Pierce, Polk and Buchanan,
that the employees Of the government, both
at Washington and at other points where
the government had hired men, were
forced to contribute of their cummings to
support the canvass for public offices.
Butthe Times is SO new to politics that it
can not be expected to know the origin
Of evils in party management: and it is so
slow that an evil may be eroded from the
public machinery and be almost forgotten
by the general run of mankind before the
Times will hear of its existence Or its sup
preston. As, for instance, when it dis
courseth about assessments, it is guilty of
impaling upon the point of its critical
pen subject that has lost its importance
by desuefude
