THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.

The General Assembly of the Presby-
terian church of the United States will
meet at the third church, Pittsburgh, on
Thursday, May 10th. The session will
probably continue two weeks, Lastyear
the Assembly met in Chicago, and con-
sisted of 5lS members. 1t is supposed
the attendance this year will be larger
It was in Pittsburgh, in 1869, that the
"Old School" and New SCHOOL, Assem-
blies met and united, thus closing the
division that had existed since 1888.
The Presbyterian is "a church without
Bishop" The government Of each
church is administered by the Session,
consisting of elders chosen by the church
together with the minister. This is the
first iudicatory. The next is the Presby-
terry, composed of the ministers and one
elder from each church within certain
district. This body licenses, ordains and
disciplines ministers, organizes churches
receives appeals from the Sessions and
reviews their proceedings. The next
judiCatory is the Synod, a body consist
ing of all the ministers and one elder
from each church in district embracing
at least three Presbyteries, This body
reviews the proceedings of the Presby-
teries and receives appeals from them.
The highest judicatory is the General
Assembly, the bond of union over the
whole, and the ultimate resort in the
way of reference or appeal.
The present basis of representation is
one clergyman and one elder from every
twenty-four churches in Presbytery,
though every Presbytery, no matter how
small, is entitled to two representatives,
called commissioners.
The following table gives valuable in
formation as to the condition of the
church and ita doinps in 1877:

THE HAPPY FAMILY,

Three ofthe most conspicuous Repub.
lican leaders in the Senate-all members
of the once powerful Grant clique-are
likely to retire from public life at the ex.
piration of their present terms. They are
Conkling, Hamlin, and Howe. Conks
ling has so alienated from him the Re-
publicans of New York during the past
year that it will be almost miracle if,
with all his skill in political management,
he can secure another election. The
Wisconsin papers agree that Howe's res
cent diatribe on the President was in re.
ality his own funeral Grafton. Hamlin
has grown old, rusty, and unpopular, and
his seat will be contended for by young>
er men. who have grown tired of waiting
for him to get out of their way. Proba~
bly, Eugene Hale will crystalline the op>
position and carry off the prize. There
are also fresh murmurs of discomfort
against Cameron in Pennsylvania, but
no strong man has yet stepped forward
to challenge his supremacy and organize
an opposition to his rule CIsVslaNd

PAPPY TAFT's 5000 MAN.

On inquiring at the Department of Jus.
tice it is ascertained that Selkirk, whose
statement appears in the New York
World as Another Florida Confessor, "
was employed by AttorneyNGeneral Taft
about the time he says he was. He was
furnished with money and sent to Flori-
da, but upon what business the records
of the Department fail to show. Upon
arriving IN Florida, he commenced
course of riotous living, He got very
drunk. This way exhausted his means.
and at the same time made 1t desirable
that he should return; consequently, he
was furnished with funds for this purpose.
Instead ofreturning here he renewed his
spree, or rather kept up the same old
drunk, He was finally gotten out of the
State, ticket being purchased for him.
Arriving here, he presented claim for
services, which underwent considerable
revision; but was finally paid. The last
payment on his account ($8I8) was paid
under the present Administration in
March, I877.-WGShingtON Star.

CUPP, the Clyde saloon keeper, murS
dered on Monday by William Hayes, was
indicted last fall for shooting, with intent
to kill, constable who was levying on
some of his goods, and fed, going South
to New Orleans, from there to San Ans
tonia, Texas, and making rather ex-
tended tour throughout the extreme
southern portion of the country. He was
seen in San Antonio and New Orleans
by Bill Powers, the Castalia cattle thief,
to whom Cupp confded the secret of his
presence so far from home. The murder
grew out of a claim of Hayes's for four
dollars and half. The Sandusky Regis.
ter says that no sympathy is expressed
at Clyde for Cupp, the people simply re-
GREETING his murder because it is severe
blow to his wife, children and family
connections. He was related by marriage
to some very good people in that part of
the country.

RESUMPTION.

By preconcerted arrangement all the
picayune National banks are announcing
now that they have resumed. This is
done to head off the proposed repeal of
the Resumption act by Congress. Cen
eral Ewing punctures this bubble in a
timely way by explaining that these
banks only pay gold on their own notes.
These are scattered all over the land, and
it is not possible for them to be present
ed in large quantities. A bank hasn't
got down to a specie basis until it is able
to pay gold to the depositors and holders
of checks, and the bank which now pros
claims that 1t has resumed, simply lies

THE OPINION OF ALL HONEST
MEN.

Whatever remedies these facts call for
as to the incumbency Of the Presidency
itself can be let become test ofparties.
That they will become much more fully
than parties will become test of them.
On one thing the people will insist, and
that is that Sherman, the Chambers, Ian
daulet Williams, Noyes and others, who
formed and effected the central conspira.
cy, shall be brought to exposure now and
to an ultimate justice now which will
know no limitation of time or any miti-
cation of punishment. The conspirators
who from New York and Washington
defrauded the nation, and used these
men as their tools, should be in Jail for
the period Of, at least two more Admins
istrations, at hard labor. AS to Hayes
and Wheeler,a a condition is being reach.
ed, in which every man, woman and
child in the United States can be able to
say to them: "You were not elected and
you have known you were not from the
first" That condition will not only dis
pose of them, and of "the question" but
it will also dispose of all the Republican
rascals who are seeking to bluffthe thing
through, and of all the Democratic tricks
sters who are counseling the application
of an9sthesis to the case, or the policy
of making the victimized party accesso.
