The Tendency Towards Church Union.
We believe that tbere is ft verj general con
viction on tne part of intelligent Christians in
favor of churoli consolidation, as orr03e(i to
the farther multiplication of sects. This is
due somewhat, no doubt, to the natural re
action from the exoessive disintegrating, se
ceding, and sect-multiplying spirit which has
hitherto prevailed in our country, as one of
tho fruits of perfect religious liberty; but it
has a deeper reason, In the perceived fact that
Hie practical work of Christianity in the
evangelization of the world is seriously and
sadly embarrassed by the multiplicity of
cburoh organizations. This evil is sufficiently
apparent in our large cities, but is only seen
in Hi full development in our country towns
ai.d villages. It is no uncommon thing to
find in a small village of one or two thousand
in! abitanta three, four, or five religious so-ci.-
ies, each with its place of worship, its
ii. .tester, its Sabbath school, and its complete
chinch organization; and each a miserable,
starving society, giving its pastor but a mere
pitta ico of a support, dependent, perhaps,
upou foreign aid, and exerting only a feeble
aii'1 restricted influence upon the community
at huge. Now, if all these churches could be
lum 1 into one, with a large and well-appointed
churiili edifice, a minister of ability and elo
qut'uce, a Sabbath school fitted up with
plcuty of books, maps, globes, etc., how much
bitter it would be 1 Such a church would be a
powiT in the community, its edifice would be
filled with worshippers, its works of benevo
K uc and of Christian culture and education
v. ii,. id be carried on with spirit and energy,
and it would fulfil the ends for which churches
ai- supposed to exist. The present system,
a? it prevails all over our country, is lax,
-wakeful, expensive, and inefficient. It doe3
tin- work which the Church proposes for itself
to do in the worst possible manner, and at
tLu greatest possible disadvantage. Especially
in the rapidly growing communities of the
"VVe-t do we fiud the evils of the present sys
t. of multiplied church organizations at their
hiight. Every sect must "plant itself" at
every prominent point, even though it be to
drag out a miserable and sickly existence.
1'o know of a place in Missouri, of less than
1 a thousand inhabitants, that has the follow
i g church organizations'. An Old Boiiool
1'resbyterian Church, a New School Presbyte
vian Church, a Congregational Church, an Epis
copal Church, a Northern Methodist Church,
Southern Methodist Church, a Rebel Baptist
Church, a Loyal Baptist Church, a Campbel
lite Church, and a Roman Catholic Church,
and not one of the whole lot is self-supporting
t .
Our various "home" and "domestic" mis
sionary societies are not faultless in this mat
ter. They frequently encourage the planting
of churches in communities which are already
amply supplied. The result is to weaken
those already existing, and to divide a support
meagre enough at the best. The planting of
a church in a community where other
churches sufficient for the wants of the people
are already in existence, is generally a work
Of pure denominationalism, and a hindrance
to real Christian efficiency and success.
It is too much to expect that all denomisa
tionalism will fade out, and one grand organiza
tion carry forward the work of the Church; but
we welcome . every indication which points to
a diminution of the number of sects, a coming
together of those who substantially agree in
their faith and church government, and a gene
ral widening of the basis of church fellowship
and communion. The most striking mani
festation in thii direction, at the present time,
is the tendency towards union in the great
Presbyterian branch of the Church. As our
readers will remember, both of the Presby
terian assemblies, the Old School and the New
School, at their annual meetings a year ago at
St. Louis, took steps looking towards a
reunion of the churches. A committee from
the two bodies was appointed to draw up a
plan of union, and report this year. That
report has just been presented to the assem
blies of the respective Churches, the one
now in session at Rochester, and the other at
Cincinnati. It proposes a reunion of the two
Churches on the basis of their common
.standards of faith and government; the ad
mission of all ministers and churches of
either body to their prer-ent standing; the
consolidation of corporate rights; the records
of the two bodies to be hereafter held as con
stituting the common history of the Church;
the reconstruction of the committees, boards,
and other official organizations of the Church
at large; a revision of the catalogues of publi
cations, and a general and equitable consoli
dation of the two organizations.
There is no doubt that this plan of union,
-when submitted to the separate churches, will
be adopted almost unanimously, and that we
$haU soon behold these two branches of the
Tresbyterlan Church united in a common
organization. It will theri constitute one or
the largest, wealthiest, and moat influential
Churches in the country. But not ouly is
there this prospect of union between the Old
and New School Presbyterians there is alio a
movement in the same direction on the. part
of other branches of the Presbyterian family.
Resolutions looking towards an organized
Uflioa Of the entire Presbyteriau body, of
THE
whatever name, in this country, have been in
troduced in the General Synod of the Re
formed Tresbyterian Church, now in session
in New York; and the same question is being
agitated by the Cumberland Tresbytorian
Assembly, now in session in Memphis.
We confess that we look upon this tendency
to union among the different branches of this
great Church family with the deepest interest.
It is a movemont in the right direction. The
whole consolidated body will be broader, more
liberal, more truly catholic, than either of
its component parts could be alone. Its re
sources will be more economically employed,
and more effectual in accomplishing Christian
work. Instead of the machinery of three or
four separate organizations to accomplish a
given end, that ot only one will now be required.
By concentrating its energies and simplifying
its action, tho United Presbyterian Church will
vastly increase its influence and its power of
doing good.
We hope to see the time when a still wider
tendency to union shall prevail when non
essentials, whether of dogma or of polity, shall
wield less and less power over men's minds,
and the great essentials of Christianity shall
bind the whole Church in a closer and more
enduring compact.
The Evil of Carrying Weapons.
A few days since a young man by tho name
of Mahon was convicted of murder in the
second degree, in New York, and was sen
tenced to the State Penitentiary for life. The
Judge (Miller), in pronouncing the sentence,
delivered an admirable address te the pri
soner, which we commend to all the young
men of our own city. He said:
"Here let me remark, that the ratal trage ly of
which you are the author, illustrates with
striking force the Impropriety and great danger
of carrying deadly weapons tipou the person.
Had you not had lu your possession the wea
pon which oauHed tne deuth of your victim,
you would now have been at large and the de
ceased alive. Here is the great mlNtalce made
by those who thus resort to violence toavonge
n suppoed wroDg or to gratify their wlekoJ
puhs.ons. Although you are a young mau, yet
the circumstance presented und the enormity
ol your crime demand that the law sliould be
fully executed, nnd thai an example b3 made,
so that others may understand that there can
be no mitigation of punishment for so wreat a
crime. It is, in fact, but the stinplest Justice that
tho.se who ure guiliy of violullnsr, Uio laws of
society under almllur circumstances should be
I laced where they can no louger endanger the
livs end security of their fellow-meu, und in
the solitude of tne prison reflect for the re
mainder of their days upon the great wrong
and the fatal deed which they have committed."
In these few words of the Judge we soe the
genu of much thought for many of the young
men of Philadelphia. The habit of carrying
concealed deadly weapons we happen to know
is a very general one. In fact, it ha3 grown
to be considered the custom among a certain
class, and the tailors have gradually adapted
themselves to the wants of their customers,
and seldom make a suit without a "pistol
pocket." We have reason to believe that the
custom is much more widespread than is sup
posed. We would cite the instance of the
murder in New York, and also that of the
man convicted in our own city on Friday,
both of which crimes were due entirely to
having the weapon ready, and using it in a
passion. We are none of us sure of ourselves
on great provocation, and daily testing shows
to the wisdom of the law which strictly forbids
the carrying of such arms. We hope that the
example set in New York will be imitated
here, and that by the strongest enforcement
of the full penalty of the law, a proper dread
of the consequences may be infused among
our people, and induce the abandonment of
this most vicious and dangerous infringement
of the statute.
The Primary Elections.
Tub reward offered by the League for essays
on reform in the primary meetings has
attracted public attention to the subject, and
called forth an expression of opinion from most
of our journals, and also from some of our
public men. We have received the following
sensible communication from a well-known
citizen, and as the subject is one which should
meet universal attention, we lay his views
before our readers, doubting, however, the
practicability of some of his suggestions. The
idea of changing the time of holding the elec
tions meets our warmest approval.
To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph:
I have read with much interest tho remarks
in your issue of Friday last, lu refereuce to the
lelomis needed at our primary elections; und
though I am not of the opinion that the method
adopted by the Union League will accomplish,
much, still I am satisfied, even in the face ot
tu. fact that our primary meetings are lu the
main under the cgutrol of unscrupulous poll
tli iaiis, and "have continued to grow from bud
to worse," that the evil has its reiuedy.and a per
sistent effort made upon a well matured plan lo
secure the desired end will be successful. L'uder
the present system, attendance upon the pri
mary meetings, so earnestly urgod oy the press,
is useless. A packed room 111 led Willi political
trimmers, whose only appurent meaus of sup
port is whut they can make out of candi
dates for ofllce, prevents the honest
voter from any fair expression of bis
opinions or meaus of carrying them
out. Office-seeker, determined twuoceed
by any means lu ti.elr power, actinic upon the
belief that dishonesty In politics is no sin,
setting aside till principle, lo carry their
point, deem it to be out fair game lo buy, sell,
or deiraud at a primary election. With sucli a
party, and with-such surroundings, the right
minded tax-payer can of course have but little
Influence, and ull his efforts to prevent fraud
are of noavull. The experience of the many
men who have, In obedience to the injunctions
of the press, attended the primary meetings la
their respective wards, clearly proves the above
statement; and they, disgusted wllh the system,
and disheartened wllh useless and unsuccessful
efforts, have given up all attempts at reform,
and have, iu despair, left their wurds to the
mercy of the political rings that rule them,
who, unmolested, and wllh full possesslou of
the field, control the nominations, select their
own candidates, and lorce the very voters
they have ttiiis excluded to vote for
tueui, under the nariy whip and by parly
Ijrauny. How can this evil be remedied? First,
let the 1'ri'bidont I the Ward Kxeoulive Com
mittee, or fome other satisfactory person, ap
point three well-known and respectable citi
zens, whose duty It shu 1 be, one week before
the most important or all primary elections,
that of Judge and Insieciors, lo luuke a care
fully prepared register of all the Kepubltcan
voters of the ward, not of voters of recent con
version or of a doubtful character, but of those
who voted the Uepublloau ticket at the last full
election. This work can be rendered compara
tively easy by use ol the window book und the
aid of well-isted persons residing in the dif
lerent precincts. Let the election for Judge
and Inspectors be held at the usual places for
holding the general elections, and let the vole
be oast through a window at the polls, and not,
as la now the custom, in the upper story
of tome low tavern, or in the crowded and
packed room of a ward association, Tin
DAILY-EVENING TELEGRAFII PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
tnnthod would give every voter a fair chance,
and would pilecuially rule out imported
rm Rim or Mred cnnndrels who are aenl to
ward meetings by worae ollloe -seekers to ad
vanoe their intereftta, and to prevent the honest
voters Irom expressing their views or mr
c alng their -political rliihta. Again, change the
UIV? v.f ,1ld,n the primary eleotlous. IcHlead
of ihelrbeing held lu the month of Aogunt, let
them be held In June. Ordinarily through Au
gust a large proportion of our tax-payers are
abseutfrom the city, and for this cause the
meetings are overlooked or forgotten. In June
this would not be the caae; tbe meetings would
be well attended, and the tax-payers well re
presented; besides, by selecting candidates in
June instead of Aunusl, the interests of the
party would be advanced by securing the
active co-operation of the RiiccesHrul candidate
two mouths earlier, and relieving ell aspirants
for ollice irom the hungry hangers-on who
annoy and beset them by the various modes of
black mail so well undeistood ami practiced by
that fraternity. Aalu, let the time of holding
tho elections be changed from arter drk to
daylight. Darkness help to cover up and hide
the means used to secure the eleo'lon of candi
dates under the old method, with all their
evil and corrupt surroundings, and insures the
miccri-B of many a do.'-"ld scheme, which dure
not be adopted or carried out in broad daylight.
Make this change, and illegal and improper
voting would be prevented, and a fair and or
derly election secur d. To possess tho ad vautages
above recited would largely aid In giving purity
to, and confidence in, our primary elections.
Let these changes, therefore, he adopted. Lt
a strong effort to this end be made by the Union
Iieague. Let that powerful organization show
Its strength In this direction. Let its Influence
bo felt. Let a committee from that body wait
upon the City Executive Committee, and de
mand that these changes be made. Let them
do this, and their request would be acoeded
to and their demands granted. The Commit
tee, even if so disposed, would not dare to re
fuse so righteous a request from so Important
a body; und thus this valuable change, with
all lis good result!), would be scoured, and the
evils which have for so long a time surrounded
our primary elections be partially removed.

Where Booth is Hurled.
Tub following melo-dramatio account of
where and how John Wilkes Booth was buried,
we take from Detective Baker's book on the
adventures of the "Secret Service." It sets
at rest the dispute as to the final disposition
of the body:
In order to establish the Identity of the body
Of the assassin beyond all quesltou, the Secre
tary of War directed me to summon a number
of witnesses residing in the city of Washing
ton, who bad previously known the murderer.
Borne two years previous to the assassination of
the President, Iiooth had had a tumor or car
buncle cut from his neck by n surgeon. On In
quiry, I ascertained that Dr. May, a well-knowu
and very skilful surgeon, of twenty live years'
practice in Washlugtou, had performed the
operotioi).
Accordingly, I called on Dr. May, who, before
seeing the body, minutely described the exact
locality of tho tumor, the nature and dale of
the operation, etc. After belngsworn he pointed
to the scar lu iho neck, which was then plainly
visible. Five other witnesses were examined,
all of whom had knowu the assassin intimately
for years. The various newspaper accounts,
referring to the mutilation of Booth's body, are
equally absurd. Ueuerul Barnes, Burgeon
Ueneial U. 8. A., was on board the guuboat
where the post mortem examination was held,
with his assistants. General Barnes cut from
Booth's neck about two inches of the spinal
column through which the ball had passed;
this piece of bone, which la now on exhlblllou
in the Government Medical Museum in Wash
ington, is the only relic of the assassin's body
above ground, aud this Is the only mutilation
of the remains that ever occurred. Immediately
nfier the conclusion of tho examination, the
Been tary of War gave orders as to the disposition
of the body, which hud become very offensive,
owing to the condition lu which it had re
mained after death; the leg, broken in Jumping
from the box to the stago, was much discolored
and swollen, the blood from tne wound having
saturated his under clot hlnr. With the assist
ance of Lieutenant Ii. B. Baker, I took the body
from the guuboat dlreol to the old Penitentiary,
adjoining tho old Arsenal grounds. The build
ing had not been used asa prison for some years
previously. The Ordnance Department had
filled the ground-floor cells with fixed ammuni
tion one of the largest of these cells was
selected ns tbe burial place of Booth the
ammunition was removed, a large flat stoue
lifted from its place, and a rude grave dug; tbe
body was dropped lu, the grave filled up, the
store replaced, aud there rests to Hits hour all
that remained of John Wilkes Booth.
Skceetaky Stanton and thk Prbsidbncv.
The St. Louis Democrat, in discussing the Pre
sidential question, utters the following lan
guage: "There is a statesman who has been
the military superior of all our generals, and
whose part in the war has been not less
deserving of honor than that of the bravest
hero that ever slept on a hard-fought field.
There is one such man, and but one the
Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton." It also
favors the selection of the Vice-President from
Missouri, and says: "Of all the former slave
States no other so well deserves the honor, and
no other can more justly claim for her leaders
in this struggle the confidence and the grati
tude of the nation."
