The Report an Reconstruction.
The moBt Important business of the whole session
of the Assembly was then entered lato by taking np
the special order of the day, which was the recep
tion of the report of the Joint Committee an Recon
struction. This document we print entire to-day, commencing
on the first page. Notwithstanding its length, it will
be read with interest.
Dr. Miwarave'a Speech.
Previous to the reading of the renort on Recon
struction, Kev. George w. Mnsgrave, D. D., Chair
man of the Joint Committee, spoke in regard to this
important matter:
He said he bad treat pleamre ia announcing that the
report was unanimously adopted by the large committee.
The report is the result of many hours' labor. They in
vited suggestions from all the brethren. These made
from various quart ers induced the committee to modify
the report in a great many important particulars. In the
reading of the report I beg the Assembly to remember
the extraordinary difficulty the matter presented to tbe
committee. Of oourse we do net expect it will please
every minister, presbyter, or synod throughout the land,
hut from some of them we hire received cemmanications
expressing their approval, and weuld like
tbe Assembly to recollect that what is dona
by this reuse need not be permanent; for instance the
lines of boundaries, their decisions, these may be altered,
at tbe next meeting of the synod. The great object fist
get something established to make p regress ia the work
of establishment. The committee conld not undertake te
arrange the boundaries of presbyteries. It was utterly
impracticable. One of two plans was necessary one was
to order the meetings of the synods early in the summer,
in ordeT that they may reconstruct the presbyteries; and
the other was to adjourn over for a day, the assembly
itself to allow the commissioners from all the presbyteries
connected with the respective synods te confer to
gether and agree among themselves as to what
arrangement should be made, and then the Assembly,
thus advised by these commissioners representing their
presbyteries within tbe bounds of all the synods, eauld
make the arrangements at once. If they should aot prove
entirely satisfactory to tha presbyteries, they could at
S nee petition tbe stood at tae n.xtui.atinir to raaka a
inorent arrangement. Tbe advantage ef this latter plan
was thought to be very great. It avoids a continuance of
the present confused and uaoertaia state of things. Oar
presbyteries would at once be consolidated. They would
be reconstructed, and perhaps, to a very great extent,
satisfactorily reconstructed. But tbe thing would he
done, and every man would know to what presbytery
be belonged, and every churoh, for the
time being at least, would be ooaselidated.
and the presbyteries could at onee go te
work as thus reconducted, whereas the other plan would
keep us in tbe present disorderly, confused, aad naoer
tain condition for months together. Now I make these
general remarks in order that the Assembly may rightly
judge and kindly appreciate tbe preaositioas aad judge
. therefrom. After the readiag of the report, I would be
glad to make aay additieaal explanations, and se would
the other members of the committee, so far as such ex
planations would he required.
The Reading; af the Renort.
On account of the Imperfect eyesight or Dr. Mas.
grave, Dr. Charles C. Beatty, of Steubenville, Ohio,

city. The report, which is the fifth presented to the
Assemb v bv tne commiuee, is verv lenrtuv. em

have room only ior its most important points.
The report states that material assistance has

to give transportation to teachers more than a year
aen. lias continued neiierutta suiJiuiiunugiiii ior tuo
erection of school buildings and for the renting of
school rooms, i ue report lurtuer bujb:
The experience of the past, and especially of tha
last year, has led the committee to feel, tUrough all
the present year, that It might not venture to open
new missions, however promising the llelds ; nor
even to enlarge its work In old missions, however
apparent and pressing the necessity. Simply to sus
tain what bad already been undertaken was felt to
be all that the Church's liberality, as hitherto exhi
bited In this behalf, would warraut Its undertaking;
an 1 tbe most painful experience of all the year has
bcn this felt inability to enter new fields, 'whito
already to harvest;' and inability, as well, to culti
vate ground alreadv occupied, to the extent that the
very success of its work in the past urgently de
manded. Laborers have not been wanting. Nume
rous applications for work have been presented, but
the committee has been obliged to turn a deaf ear in
almost every Instance, even to tbe best qualified,
because unable to pay the hire of which their labor
would be worthy."

We have received from George Junktn, Esq., a Bon
of the late Kev. nr. dunlin, tne louowinK com muni
cation, to which we willingly give place. The Italics
are those of the writer:
"EUtornf tht gvming T$lrfraph: In your issue of the
17th instant you publish what purports to be a 'Historical
Sketch' of Fresbyterianism, Many of ns look npon it as
a distorted and one-sided account of tbe troubles in onr
Cburcb.wbich out-tit not to have been written or published
at. this time and nlace.
"In it occur several nnkind allusions to my revered
father. Dr. Georce Junkin. Among others it styles him
'the relentless persecutor of Albert Barnes.' I respect
fully request you to publish in contrast with these unkind
and net rue words what Mr. Barnes himself said in his de
fnnsA. snd afterwArds published in nrinted form. viK. : '1
have only to add that I cherish no unkind feelings towards
my prosecutor; I charge upon him aa improper motives.
I ilAifiht to ttfiti my humikle tetitmmyt in accordant trith th

that it may be kaowa who it is that can be guilty of suoh
a spirit in such a time ef general amnesty and peace.
"I am yours, respectfully,
"Msy 20, 1870. GEORGE JUNKIN."
We regret exceedingly that Mr. Junkin has
deemed It necessary to reopen the case of Mr. Barnes
"in such a time or general amnesty and peace." our
account of the persecution of Mr. Barnes was taken
from the recognized authorities, and we can only
refer the writer of the above communication to them
for proof that It is not "a distorted and one-sided"
narrative. As to Mr. Junkin's request for the name
of the writer of the article in question, It Is only
necessary to state that the publisher of this paper is
tbe only person who Is in any way responsible for
anything that appears in its columns.

President Allen's Address.
Prof. "William H. Allen, LL. D., the President of
the College, then delivered the Introductory ad
dress. After welooming the Alumni, he spoke of the change in
tbe management of the college which bad been made
without snook or jar, and said that if any apprehensions
had been felt on tbe introduction of a new dynasty they
have been entirely dispelled by the judicious aad conser
vative actioa of the new board. Ha bespoke for those
gentlemen tha same kindly feeling and respect which had
always been manifested for the members of tbe former
board who served the college so long and so faithfully.
He also gave some statistical information with refe
rence te the institution. In January but the college had
completed its twenty-second year, duriag which period
142j hoys had beea admitted; 45 had died ia tha college,
and 19 during their apprenticeship; the number who bad
died since tbeiraparenticethip was about 4. The num
ber ia tbe cellege ia January last was 634. The average
of instruction was about eight years. Tbe graduates com
prised yeuag men who had hailed from aD parte of tae
country, many of vita were new in a prosperous busi
ness aad in a social peeitioa equal to that of aay ethers
in the places where they reside.
The Professor eoacluded by saying: Aad new, my
friends, the alumni of Girard College ay, more than
friends, my sons siaee aothiag oaa change the deep in
terest in you and affection fer yon which will terminate
only with my lite if yea ceatiaue worthy, I have ao fear
that any sinister influences of tbe unworthy can ever
alienate you from me. I have found you true as steel ; aad
I "grapple you to my heart with books of steel." You have
little sympathy wiau the fewwhowiBh to forget aad to
snake others forget that they owe to Btephea Girard all
that they have and are, aad yon have still leas sympathy
with the very few who, for eelash and interested motives,
would destroy, if they could ,lhe intlutmoo and mar the
reputation ef those from whom they have received notaiug
but favors sad kiadaeases.
I hope that this day will be a seasoa of unalloyed plea
sure to yon, and that for many successive years your
society may partake of the hospitalities af your Alma
Mater, aad toat every reuaien may cement more ttrmlr
the friendship which unites f uu in one great brotherhood.

George 1L Magulre, Esq., a graduate of tbe col

Interesting address. After referring In appropriate
terms to the honor conferred upon him and his
selection to speak in behalf of the Alumni, Mr. Ma
gulre said:
"Whatever interest or pleasure the ooeasion may pre
sent toothers, between those who have beea the instm
nieDta under Providence af nurturing aad developing
their youthful miads; and these who have gone forth irom
these walls to engage in tbe active pursuits ef life, there
exists a feeling of mutual lave aad confidence essentially
and exclusively eur own, which gold and ailver may aot
buy aortima itself efface."
After reierriiig length to other circumstances
attending the reunion of to-day, Mr. Magulre con
tinued: "By tho will of Mr. Girard, it was expressly desired that

can institutions, aa guaranteed by oar happy Censtitutiua,
shoald be formed aad festered in the minds of tbe scholar.
It is set my iatention, it is surely not my desire, to say any
