The next convention meets in Detroit. End of the McCune Case.— The Rev. W. C. McCune, who was condemned by .the last General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church for holding errors on the subject of church fellowship, lias been? dismissed by his'Presbytery to join a Pres-' hytery in another body,; we believe the New School Presbyterian Church.— Presbyterian , 0. (S'. We understand that, since the General Assem bly's adjournment, at a session of the Presbytery held in Monroe, brother M’Cune demanded a deter mination of the case., His brethren, embarrassed with it, were unwilling to proceed, whereupon he asked for his certificate, and it was granted. Meet ing him with this in his pocket, one day last week, we proposed to “ open the doors” of the Methodist Church and let him in. His presence and labors will be a blessing to any Church. —Central Christ. Advocate. Connection Dissolved. —The church on Orchard street, Cincinnati, of which Rev. W. C. M’Cune is pastor, expressed on Monday evening of last week, by a unanimous vote, their desire to dissolve their connection with the United Presbyterian Church, and appointed a committee to inquire concerning the most eligible denomination with which to con nect themselveß. —Central Christ. Advocate. Such, we believe, is the end of the McCune case, and we, like our Methodist brother of Cin cinnati, offer him a hearty welcome if he has de cided to cast his lot with us. Such a condemna tion and on such grounds, is the best certificate he can bring wuh him. Or, if there is one bet ter and higher commendation it is-this, —that al though subjected to the trying ordeal of a con troversy largely personal, not a breath of imputa tion has sullied his good name. Something said- in the course of the controver sy in the U. P. Church misled us into supposing (and saying) that “ on intercommuning with other denominations) on. Psalmody and on secret So cieties, Mr.'McC. holds’ the strict views of his own body.” In regard to these three points he writes us:— . . “ (1.) This statement occurs in the preface of rny book: ‘ The law of Christ’s Church is that all who give satisfactory and scriptural evidence that tiiey have a saving faith in Christ have a right to membership in the Church, which of eourse includes the fight to observe the Lord’s Supper.’ We have ever admitted members of other Evan gelical Churches to commune in the church of which I was pastor. I myself communed in a New School Presbyterian Church several years ago. lam opposed to open communion, as prac ticed by Unitarians and other anti-Evangelical sects. ,f (2.) On the subject of Psalmody my belief is that we should carefully maintain the distinc tion between the inspired Psalter and uninspired hymns, however Scriptural and Evangelical. And I hold that a moderately faithful version of S rip ture must practically be recognized as inspired as to the matter of it. But I firmly hold that where the Bible gives no law, the Church has no rio-ht to enact one, and I can see no law in the Bible forbidding the use of uninspired hymns. “ (3.) I believe that Secret Societies are real rivals of the Christian -Church —that they are generally Christless and ensnaring. But Ido not b lieve that a man who gives good evidence that he is a disciple of Christ-should either be exclu ded from the Church or required-to yield his convictionS'Or his liberty <in ; this .matter.” THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, SHURSDAY, JULY 4, 1867. EPISCOPAL IMPRESSIONS ABROAD. The Pennsylvania Bishop Stevens, recent ly returned, and the Ohio Assistant Bishop Bedell, still abroad, have just expressed the impressions, which their visits to Italy and Rome have given them, respecting the struc ture and services of their own Church. The Pennsylvania Diocesan, in a meeting of- the clergy and laity held recently to welcome his return; stated in effect;-that his observa tion of the religious movements in Italy awakened in him a deeper sense of the value of the Episcopal Ghureh order, and he had returned with freshened purpose to promote it within the sphere of his .labors. In this connection, it may. be . remembered that, sometime last year, this-,prelate united with an English Bishop, also travelling in Italy, in discountenancing the Protestantizing ef forts, of the Waldenses, .American mission aries, and othersdn that Kingdom,'and rec-’ ommending in<plac.e .of an attempt at radi cal change, that there should be a gentle sliding out from the more abhorrent fea tures of the Papacy, into a reformed chureh ism, which should preserve enough of the forms and rituals, to which the Italians had been accustomed, to save their feelings from the shock of a change of religion. Taken in connection with that, {manifesto, we “can easily understand the impressions to which the Bishop now gives utterance as a reflec tion upon the whole "Waldensian .work, so far as it is an aggression upon and upon the entire missionary forc.e in Italy. There is no mission there which works upon ’ the plan of the Bishop, no Protestant effort which attempts to patch up a rotten system, and no immediate prospect, that we are aware of, of an attempt to Staleyize that field. Bishop Bedell writes from Rome to the Diocesan Convention of Ohio, recently in session in Cleveland. He looks out from the Protestant stand-point. He betrays no alarm lest the dissenting interest should be found in the lead of reform. Rome has been his study —that Rome toward which the ritualistic movement is so fast drifting the Church. He has seen the mother of abomi nations; he recognizes her as such, and his impressions are that his Church should put the utmost possible distance between her and itself, and that, to this end, the severest construction should be given to every sen tence in the Standards of the Ghureh against supernumerary vestments, and ceremonials —in short against everything Popish. 1 'The Ohio Diocese, under the chief episcopate of Bishop Mcllvaine, is probably least affected by high-churchlsin of any in the c'ouiftry, and the letter of the Assistant Bishop is re ported as having given great satisfaction. FROM OUR ROCHESTER CORRESPONDENT. A SABBATH IN ELMIRA. It was a hot one, and well filled with varied services. Dr. Curtis, however, was .absent, hav ing gone to Galesburg, 111., to deliver an address at the Commencement of Knox College. Rev. Isaac Clark, of the Second Church, was also away, being in attendance upon the meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association in Mon treal. Rev. T. K. Beecher, of the Congrega tional Church has recently returned, with “per fect health,” he says, from his journey of four teen thousand miles, completely around South America. He is now engaged preaching a series of morning sermons on the old Testament. He has also changed the character of his evening services; he omits the sermon, and has “ves pers,” consisting of reading, singing and pray ers. His congregation is very large, and much attached to their gifted pastor. But the day, we said, was filled with varied services. Somebody preached on Missions in the morning in the Second Church. Dr. Cur tis’ pulpit was supplied by Rev. D. S. Johnson, late of Waverley. A children’s meeting was held in the Seeond Church at half past four o’clock .in the afternoon A sermon was preached in the Academy by Prof. Steele at five o’clock; Vespers at Mr. Beecher’s at six o’clock, and the Baccalaureate of President Cowles at the Col lege at eight o’clock. The sermon of Dr. Cowles was excellent, laying down valuable principles and giving admirable advice to the young ladies. The graduating class numbers ten, and is well spoken of for ability, and scholarship. One hun dred and thirty pupils have been in attendance the past year, one-half in the collegiate depart ment, not half so many as there ought to be in this excellent institution. Some admirable improvements have been made in the college building, such as painting, papering, frescoing, new carpets and new furniture might be expected j(o.makc in hall and parlors. Last winter the college obtained an endowment of §25,000 from the State, on condition that another §50,000 should be raised from private sources; §25,000 to add to said endowment, and a like sum to be laid out in permanent improve ments': Mr. Simeon Benjamin, who has already given so much'to the institution, gives the sec ond §25,000 for endowment; arid an effort is in progress toward raising the third $25,000 among other friends of the institution of which three fifths are already pledged. This sum completed, and-the : property of the College will be worth, it is thought, $175,000,-; | It certainly is beauti fully located;, has a jfinq building, an excellent faculty, and seems wall fitted for all the proper ends of a first class female College. It deserves great success. , ■' PUr.l’iTS AGAIN, One of the finest pplpits we have seen in many, a day was that whipi was used in Dr. Shaw's church during the pttings of the General As sembly; which consisiid of a simple marble table about three, feet, lons by eighteen; inches wide, with a small desk in fee jniddle upon .which to lay the bible. .

The Declaration and Testimony Men— A Con ference of Four Presbyteriesiiiet recently at Louis-' ville, and ageed tb call a meeting of' Synod for the 26th of dupe'to take final and decisive action inthe matter of .their higher relations. A correspondent of the Missouri Presbyterian says:—“ The sentiment was unanimous that we are sick and tired of the con troversy on hand for six years, and wish it closed. And the feeling was almost unanimous infavor of going South next fall. The exceptions were only' too, and they were not elders, although the elders' outnumbered the preachers in the conference.” ‘‘ ’ lhe Louisville True Christian Commonwealth' re marks :- “ There are but three courses open before the churches of Kentucky. .Either, Ist, a combina tion with other churches of like opinions and cir cumstances with them in the, formation of a third General Assembly; or, 2d, go into open'independen cy, either as churches, presbyteies, or as a synod; or, 3d, form alliance with the Southern churches, and such of the Northern as may choose to follow our example, and endeavor to establish the present Southern Assembly all over the coputry as. the true, constitutional,.

This, however, capnot be true of all the Presbyteries of that Church. We have understood that a clergyman belonging to our Church lately connected himself with the Presby tery of Brooklyn, of the other branch, and that pre vious to his admission he was examined, for more than an hour, upon various theological topics, and that this examination, was close and thorough.
