The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-05-28

This body has been with us now nearly
ten days and has transacted its most impor-
tant business. Two days of last week were
foreign missions, parts of days to such
themes as the relation of the Presbyterian
Church to the German population of the
United States, of the Northern Assembly to
the Southern, of education among the freed
men, of ministerial sustentation, Church
publications, Sabbath observance in differ
ent aspects, of promiscuous dancing, repre-
sentation and Roman Catholic baptism. Ex-
cert on the subject of missions, domestic
and foreign, and determination with the
Presbyterian Church South, very little en-
thusiasm has been displayed by the body.
Indeed, it is altogether too conservative
and staid o body to ovince much spon-
taneous enthusiasm on any subject GER
tain Puritanic reserve clings to 1T which it is
next to impossible, if it were desirable, to
escape from. 1t has been quite refreshing,
therefore, to listen to the humorous sarcasm
of DR.. Kempshall or the sober centennial
wit of Dr. Dickson, who invariably dis
turbed the sombre sedateness of the Assem-
bly, and set the Commissioners In roars of
laughter. On the question of determination
with the South, Notwithstanding the rebuff
that the Assembly met with year ago and
the tone of the Southern official journals
since, the Assembly exhibited unexpected
enthusiasm and sent its greetings south
ward again. 1t the Southern Church after
this refuses to fraternize she deserves to be
treated as heather and publican by her
Northern sister. With churches as with
States and individuals, there is limit
where all efforts at reconciliation must end,
either in peaceful union or in open hostility.
The Northern Assembly has done ali that
good fellowship and Christian obligations
required to effect reconciliation with its
Southern sister, and if the issue is a failure
that Church alone will be to blame. The
Assembly contains very few able debaters,
or else the ablest men are holding back for

Our London Cable Letter.

The British capital does not present .
picture Of light as seen in our cable letter of
to-day. There are times when great city
takes on a gloomy aspect and everything
seems to lend its aid to deepening the tones.
Hanging batch Of mutineers and having
another batch Of these to try is unpleasantly
suggestive work. A sort of outward Joy
at the Queens birthday is darkened by
the illness of the Prince of Wales. The
fearful shadow of q great European war
hangs brooding over the metropolis and
drives stock brokers into panic, and bonds
are sent downward with rush. News Of
troubles in the coal and iron trades lend
their depressing influence A valuable pic
ture is stolen, and the Four-in-Hand
Club take their drive in the rain.
News comes, too, that daring Spectator
has been buying his way to the credulous
public through the money articles of the
London papers. These things are not pleas

blue ribbon of the turf waving a
Jews days of, and learn that all
London, from Belgravia to Whitechapel, is
interesting itself pecuniarily in the result.
Then, among smaller matters, we learn that
Mile. Rosavella has fallen happily under the
care of Nine. Patti, as her American sister
singer was fortunate in engaging the kindly
assistance of Nine. Nilsson. The Pandora
left Cowes yesterday for the Arctic regions,
and in her mission to the brave explorers,
now SO long unheard from, the hearts of the
fair and brave will 60 with her.
