SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 18C7. The Proposed Ilcunion of the Presby terian Church. It will be remembered that the General Assem blies of the two great branches of the Pres byterian Church, known as tho Old School and the New School, at their sessions in May host appointed upeeial committees to con fer together, and Bee whether they could not agree upon some common and satisfactory basis of union for the two bodies. Those committees comprise the names of such distinguished divines as the Rev. Drs. Beatty, Backus, Gurley, Reid, and Montfort, of the Old School Church, and Adams, Hat field, Fowler, Nelson, Stearns, etc., of the Kew School Church, besides several distin guished laymen of both bodies. The late Rev. Dr. Brainerd, of this city, was also one of the Hew School Commissioners. The committees are now in session in New York. It is certainly to be hoped that they may agree upon some basis of union for this great and powerful denomination of Christians. There is no good reason why they should not. The form of Church government is identical in both branches, and they have a common Con fession of Faith. Although the quarrel w hich thirty years igo divided the Church was a very bitter one, yet the causes which pro duced it, and tho parties to it, have now mainly passed away. There has been a good deal of toning down of tho theological ques tions which in part produced the separation. Indeed, doctrinal differences are no longer dis tinctive of the two parties. The liberal and rigid forms of Calvinism prevail more or less in each. Moreover, the old relationship be tween the New School churches and the Con gregational body which, under the form of 'The Plan of Union," prevailed quite exten sively in some parts of the country thirty years ago, has been mainly broken up. The Congregationalists have assumed a more dis tinctive denominational aspect, and no longer seek affiliation with the Presbyterians. The slavery question, too, which really con stituted one of the most radical points of dif ference between the Old and New School Churches, has, in the order of Providence, ceased to be any longer a root of bitterness. The secession of the Southern Churches has also rendered a union between tho Northern Churches more practicable as well as desirable. There is, therefore, no good reason why the Presbyterian Church should not be reunited. The sentiment among tho masses of the laity in favor of Union is practically unanimous. The people desire it ardently. The power and influence of the Church would be greatly aug mented by it; the tendencies of the times favor consolidation ecclesiastically as well as politi cally; and the great interests of Christianity itself protest against needless and unfounded divisions. Should an Officer be Paid for Doing His Duty ? The question whether a special reward should be given to an officer of tho Government for the performance of what is merely his duty, lias been brought before us by seeing that the Senate has passed a special appropriation of $190,000 to Captain Winslow and his crow, of the Kearsarge, for sinking the pirate Alabama. The law on the subject of prizes takeii by our men-of-war is a peculiar one, and is of a char acter which seems to us neither warranted by sound reason nor justice. One-third of the value of a prize goes to tho Government, one third to the commander of the squadron, and the remaining third to the officers and crew of the captor, to be divided pro rata according to their salaries. As the Alabama waa ' not captured, a npecial appropriation is needed, to give their share under the existing law, and $190,000 has been appropriated for that purpose. We mean no reflection on the commander of the Kearsarge or her crew, as, .so long as the present custom is in vogue, they are certainly entitled to ns much profit for pinking the pirate as they could have been had they captured the vessel. But we think that the whole theory of such claims is based on an assumed right, which will not lear investiga tion. A naval officer is a paid servant of tho Governmeut-i-ho is paid for performing a cer tain work. That work is to cruise in pursuit of enemies of the Government and seek to overcome them. When, therefore, he cap tures or sinks a Rebel gunboat or a foreign foe, he is only doing that for which ho is paid. He id educated by the Government, in order that he may be able to do this very thing. We do not think, therefore, that he deserves any extra compensation. It may be years Jjefore they can do the Government any of that service for which they are paid, whether they are successful or not. When, therefore, the time arrives when they can bo useful, can they, in justice, claim extra pay for doing merely a duty? We think not. We cannot Bee, therefore, what claim there is m equity for any prize money. Nor does analogy between the custom so far as other officers of tho Government are con emed, strengthen their claims. The pay of the army officers and the navy officers is nearly the same. Yet our army officers do not receive a cent more for winning a battle than they do for lying idle in camp. Gettysburg brought no pecuniary reward to Meade ; Look out Mountain no extra pay to Hooker j nor the march through the South anything to Sherman. Yet the services performed by these Generals were as great as those per formed by any naval oflhier. In fact, far greater ; and they were ns brave, and Jrisked as much ns any Commodore ; yet we see, in the allotment of the prize money, Admirals Porter, Dnlilgren, mid Dupont receive over a hun dred thousand dollars each. Is this just to our nrmy officers? Clearly not. The Govern ment is exhausting its already depleted Trea sury in paying extra moneys to servants for doing only their duty. It is time that the cus tom le amVnded, and this unnecessary expense at once prevented. There is no reason in crying that the war is past, and that no new claims will be made. We do not know what may come in the future, but even if not a cent should Ik? paid, the principles of in justice remain tho same, and demand correc tion on our statute books. A Protest Against Emigration to Hrnzil. Thomas K. Bkrciikr sends a hearty remon strance from Rio de Janeiro against any further emigration of poor mechanics and laborers from the United States to Brazil. He says those that are already there are in a condition of grent distress, as it is impossible for them to compete with the slaves and cheaper work ing men in doing tho ordinary labor of the country. A well-managed colony, he thinks, might succeed, but for solitary poor men it is a poor place. Why any American laborers should choose to emigrate to such a country as Brazil, when there are millions of acres of fertile lands in our own country which may be occupied, free of cost, under the Homestead act, we are at a loss to imagine. I2vc the Rebels who went to Brazil at the close of the war have, for the most part, become disgusted and re turned. There is no country oh earth where, all things considered, the laboring man has so good a chance and may enjoy so many of the blessings of life as in the United States. Kentucky's Opinion. The Kentucky Assembly has very solemnly resolved: "That this Assembly nml the people of Ken tucky are unalterably opposed to negrosulFrauo, whether unlimited or wpecliil, Kcuernl or quail fled, and they lo most earnestly protest aig-tinst the ptiSKace of any law by Congress which has lor its object the extension of bucU hullrugo lu any State or Territory. " We do not know of anything that would lie less likely to have weight either with the Con gress or with the loyal people of the United States than a resolution of the State of Ken tucky. If that half-hearted, "neutral," and behind-the-age community condemns a public measure, it is pretty good evidence that the measure is right. CoitroitEAL Pi'NisiiMKNT IX Schools. A Chi cago police justice has decided that corporeal punishment in schools, whether moderate or excessive, is illegal, and constitutes an assault and battery. The common sense of the West ern people will hardly stand such nonsense as this. A teacher must either be allowed to enforce discipline by proper punishment or by expulsion. Without discipline a school is worse than useless ; and if discipline can only be maintained by expulsion, the school will soon be broken up. A judicious use of cor poreal punishment is neither cruel nor un necessary, whether administered by parents or teachers. Nebraska. General Thayer, Senator elect, started from Omaha yesterday, with the offi cial act of the Nebraska Legislature accepting the conditions of admission proposed by the recent act of Congress. Upon the reception of official intelligence of the action of the Legisla ture, President Johnson will issue his procla mation announcing the admission of the State Nebraska will be the first State that has en tered the Union with a truly republican form of government since the rise of the slave power. In a recent descent upon a gambling-house in New York the police arrested the whole party present, finding among them no less than eleven clerks and book-keepers. If em ployers would pay a little more attention to the personal habits of their clerks, they would not so often be astounded by defalcations, embezzlements, and thefts. No clerk can be a gambler without sooner or later robbing his employer. The fact that any man visits such place should cause his instant discharge from any fiduciary capacity. The steamship Great Eastern has hail her bqttom examined, and was found to be sound and tight. She is to ply between the United States and Great Britain and Prance tho pre sent season, leaving Liverpool on the 20th of March. She is fitted with every convenience for two thousand passengers. Wo believe this great vessel has never yet lmen made to pay expenses. Perhaps, with the great amount of foreign travel from this country likely to be caused by the French Exhibition, she may do better. Illinois is sending to the Paris Industrial Exhibition a specimen of "The Western Farmer's Home," a kind of ready-made house which is manufactured in large quantities in Chicago, and is in common use in the newer prairie villages of tho West. A common school-house, equipped with desks, apparatus, etc., is to accompany the "Home." The pro ducts of the State and of the Northwest are to be exhibited in these structures. The Workingmen's Convention of Connecti cut have very sensibly concluded not to nomi nate a State ticket. Great efforts were made to seduce them into the support of the Demo cracy outright, or to the running of a third ticket in its interest. If the workingmon act wisely, they will keep their movement for reform aloof from party politics. .The President has signed the bill for the election of a Congressional Printer by the Senate. Hon.
