PRESBYTERIAN General Assembly.

PRESBYTERIAN General Assembly.
WASHINGTON, June l.-When the as
sembly convened as court at $50
O'Clock, there was a notable decrease
in attendance both on the floor and in
the galleries, last nights vote having
been the climax of the meeting of the
assembly. The members of the prose-
cutting committee were in their accus-
toned places, but Prof. Briggs's party
was represented by Prof. Francis
Brown alone.
The moderator first announced the
committee, the appointment of which
was authorized last night, to formulate
minute expressing the sense of the
assembly as to the vote taken upon the
appeal from the judgment of the New
York Presbytery. BY vote of the as
sembly, Rev. Thomas A. Hoyt, D. d.,
of Philadelphia, was made chairman.
The committee were given leave to re-
tire for consultation, and the assembly,
as court. adjourned to be rcconvened
at the call of the moderator. Tho as-
sembly then resumed the considera-
ton of legislative business.
Rev. John Dixon. chairman Of the
committee on theological seminaries,
read the report OF that committee. The
institutions generally report prosperity
The committee appointed to fix upon
DR.. Briggs's sentence agreed upon
their minute and will report at the
opening of the afternoon session. 1t is
understood that DR.. Briggs refused to
make compromise, and that the COM
mittee will recommend that he be sus-
pended.
At 1850 the General Assembly took
recess till 2:30 p. NJ, previously
adopting the report of tho committee
on bills and overtures reallirming the
deliverance of the assembly Of 1892 on
the inspiration of the holy scriptures.

THE DEMOCRATIC" member of the
board of commissioners of the District
of Columbia has written a letter to the
President asking for the retention in
Office of a most offensive white south
ern republican, who is retained, and
now the whole board have created a
twelve hundred dollar office for one Of
the most offensive negro republicans
in Washington. And all this, too,
with the sanction and approval of an
administration that can reform the
board at will.

Elk REPREsENTATIyE BUTTERWoRTH
of Ohio, republican, says the thrusting
of the privilege of the ballot upon the
liberated slaves of the South was q
grave mistake, as "no one will contend
that any considerable number of them
had any full and just conception of the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship,
or any idea of the functions of govern
mcnt." Hindsight is much suror than
foresight, as republicans are slowly
finding out. In the sweet by and by
the idea may possibly enter their heads
that people who were born and raised
among negroes know more about them
than those whose only knowledge OF
them has been acquired from the pages
of Uncle Toms Cabin.

Prof. Briggs Convicted.

The appeal Of the prosecution from
the verdict of the New York Presbytery
acquitting DR.. Briggs of the charges
against him was sustained by the Gen
eral Assembly in session in Washing
ton, the vote being as follows Num-
Der of votes, 499; to sustain the appeal,
29S; to sustain in part, So; total to sus-
tain, 3S3; not to sustain, ZIG. This &C
ton of the assembly practically convicts
DR.. Briggs of heresy. There were five
grounds of appeal and thirty-four spec
ifcations, each of which were voted
upon singly. While the Briggs faction
carried some of the specifications, their
partial victory had no bearing on the
result. A committee will now be ap-
pointed to prepare minute for submis-
sion to the General Assembly prescrib-
ing the punishment to be meted out.
There are five things the General As
sembly can do in this case. They can
admonish !; they can rebuke; they can
suspend; they can depose him from the
ministry or they can expel him from
the church. One of the three last
courses is likely to be followed.
1t now remains to be seen what po-
sition the Union Theological Seminary
will take in the case. To previous
assembly it has already declared q GER
tain sort of independence, claiming the
right of the trustees to select the mem
bers of the faculty as it sees fit, holding
itself alone responsible for their theo
logical opinions and doctrinal tenets.
The seminary has stood by DR.. Briggs
all through his trials before presbytery,
synod and assembly, and is not likely
to desert him even now that his teach
ings have been pronounced heretical
by the highest council of the Presby-
terrain church.

AS THE bible is the one and only
foundation of the Christian religion,
the northern assembly of the Presbyte-
rian church was right when it decided
Yesterday that DR.. Briggs is hereto.
If the bible be the word of God, as the
PRESBYTERIAN church says it is, it must
be accepted in whole, and not in
part, and according to the common in
depreciation of its language, and not as
that language may be construed by in
terested people so as to accord with
their own peculiar views.

GENERAL BLACK, northern e1-
Union soldier, and eX-commissioner of
pensions, says "the pension rolls are
polluted with the names of towards,
deserters and imposters." That what
the General says is the naked truth is
as we'll known TO everybody else as it
is to him, denied as it is by the pension
agents and those in their pay. General
Grant said thirty millions year was a
liberal pension appropriation, and un-
less pensioners be immortal there should
be fewer of them now than then, but
instead of diminishing the annual ex-
penditure on pension account is near
" two hundred million. Purge the
pension list!

IT Is tclegraphed from Rome that
Archbishop Ireland, who iavors plan
that would break up parochial schools,
who advocates mixed schools, and who
has been one OF Mgr. Satolli's bad adj
visers, is not in rs high favor with the
Pope now as formerly. This is not at
all surprising indeed, it is only what
was confidently anticipated by those
familiar with the Archbishop's ways,
for they felt assured that his grade
would be fixed as soon as reliable and
observation-disclosures concerning those
ways could reach the Vatican. The
proceedings of the conference of the
Catholic bishops of the country afford
ed much better ground for determining
what is good for the church than the
advice of one ambitious member of that
conference

THE NEW YORK Press says: "The
lapse of years is making its impress on
the ranks of the veterans. Death is
thinning their numbers" Natur-
allv this ought to be true; but that

fired twenty-eight years ago, nearly q
million names are yet on that list, and
application for pensions for half a
