THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1870. crrcsiTioN of the southern 1'Rh'SB YTERIAN ASSEMBLY TO REUNION. The committee appointed some days ago ly (he General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to visit the Southern Assembly recently in aoshion at Louisville, and to make over tures for the re-establishment of friendly re lations, have returned to thia city, and yes teiday they submitted a report which sub stantially confirms the telegraphic, despatch announcing that those overtures have for the present been unsuccessful. The way does not yet seem to be prepared for the abroga tion of sectional divisions in this great reli gious organization. The Southern Presby terian Church gave a friendly reception to the Northern delegates, and they agreed to con sider the matter of restoring amicable relations, but they insisted on conditions so preposterous end impossible that the General Assembly cannot submit to them without disgracing and stultifying itself. The Southern Church has not yet been fully reconstrscted. It is not yet ready to bury the memories of the war. Assuming an attitude of injured inno cence, it arraigns the Northern Church on the charge of fatally complicating itself with the State, and thereby betraying the causa and kingdom of the Saviour, because it openly proclaimed allegiance to the Union. The Southern preachers assume that the Church is a "purely spiritual body among men," and that the Northern Presbyterians so grossly violated this doctrine by their poli tical utterances during the Rebellion that they must purge themselves of this error before they will be worthy of the friendly and fraternal greetings of the godly men of Dixie. Con sidering that these same Southern preachers were for many years the zealous advocates of the worst sort of politics that ever disgraced humanity, the politics that was pledged to the perpetuation and extension of slavery, and that during the war they were praying and working for the success of the Rebel armies with as much energy as Northern Presbyte rians labored for the triumph of the Union cause, it is difficult for impartial observers to understand how they propose to establish their own innocence of the imputed sin of combining politics with religion. We know cf no theory they can employ for this desperate purpose, unless they have the sublime audacity to pretend that advocacy of slavery and rebellion is re ligion pure and undented, while the cham pionship of freedom and loyalty is pestiferous politics. The General Assembly, in pro posing to ignore past records and to bury the passions engendered by the war, pursued the only proper and practicable course; and it is as impolitio as it is ungenerous for the Southern Assembly to revive the issues of the conflict in which their deluded followers were so justly defeated amid the rejoicings of the whole civilized and truly Christianized world. Another point of objection raised to the re-establishment of friendly relations is the reunion of the "Old" and "New School" branches of Northern Presbyterianism. The Southern churches, with scarcely an excep tion, belonged to the former, and they con tend that the terms on which the late combi nation was effected "involve a total surrender of all the great testimonies of the Church for the fundamental doctrines of grace." This allegation implies a desire to not only per petuate a division between ' Northern and Southern Presbyterians, but, if possible, to rekindle in the North the dying embers of old dissensions. The Southern Assembly claims to be the "sole surviving heirs" of genuine Presbyterianism, and to stand on a much higher and better platform than the reunited Northern Church. These imputed offenses, as well as the alleged injustice of the expulsion of rebels from the communion of the Old School Pres byterian Church, the Southern Assembly now formally declares to be "an impassable barrier to official intercourse," and it demands that they shall be "distinctly met and reviewed" before amicable relations can be restored. The Lest to be hoped for under these cir cumstances is that the negotiations which the General Assembly was necessarily obliged to suspend may be resumed hereafter under happier auspices. Tiiae may bring on its healing wings a better spirit to the Southern Presbyterians, and teach them finally to for give those whom they have injured, and to become loyal citizens of the republic they vainly endeavored to destroy. ABOLITION OF THE INCOME TAX. The income tax came up for discussion yes- terday in the House of Representatives, and excited a lively debate, in which both sides of the question were probably as well stated as they could be. Those who favored the continuance of the tax advanced the old ar- guments that it produced a large revenue; that it fell upon the rich, and not upgn t!ie poor; and that it was the fairest aa 1 in st equitable tax that oouia be luipcHod. in advocates of the tax seemed to forget that one of the main objections to it id its in iiWU t orial character. The people of this contry are of the opinion that any la whiju makes them disclose thair imvite business affairs is far mire offensive than one which will take a m i-jli larger sum from their pockets. Such a la v would never have been imposed by Con jnm except under the pressure of a very urgent paused away there is no reasonable excuse for its continuance. General Butler hit the nail on the head when he said yesterday to the friends of the tax that the country demanded the abolition of the tax, and it must be abo lished or eke the places that now know them would know most of them no more forever. And Judge Kellcy demonstrated that the tax was unnecessary, by stating that the revenues for the present year would be in the neighborhood of f 120,000,000, while the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year were $2!0,000,00). If the taxes can safely be reduced without embar rassing the Government, the reduction ought to be made, and there is nothing better to begin with than the income tax, which is a nuisance to all classes in society. A largo surplus in the Treasury is a continual incen tive to extravagance, and if members of Congress can be inspired with some idoa of the necessity for real economy in the expendi ture of the public funds by the loss of the revenues from the income tax, its abolition will be a benefit, independently of the grati fication afforded to all who are now oppressed by it. TIIE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. The bill to abolish the franking privilege came up in the Senate yesterday for the third time during the present session, and, as on former occasions, its consideration was post poned on the plea of more urgent business. It is very evident that the Senate will not pass this bill, or even discuss it, unless under such a pressure of public opinion as will make further delay dangerous to the political hopes of those who oppose it. Last year the expenses of the Post Office Department ex ceeded the receipts by $.",000,000, and the Postmaster - General charges a large proportion of this deficit to the enor mous abuse of the franking privilege by members of Congress. Mr. Cres- well has been roundly abused both in the Senate and House of Representatives, but his facts and figures have not been dis proved, and are not likely to be. During the whole of the present session of Congress economy and retrenchment have been the theme of eloquent speeches by Senators and Representatives, but all attempts at reform have commenced at the wrong end, and no real effort has been made to curtail any of the extravagant expenditures that Congress men and professional politicians are inte rested in, and the franking privilege, like many other abuses, is likely to remain a burden upon the tax-payers of the couatry. The members of the House of Representa tives who voted for the abolition of the franking privilege probably counted upon the bill either being rejected point blank or else quietly smothered to death by the Sen ate, and from present appearances they are not likely to be disappointed. It is a great scandal that this abuse should be continued by Congress after the decided expression of public opinion on the subject, but it is a difficult thing to persuade a man to quietly give up a valuable privilege that is worth a large sum of money to him annually, and the majority of the members of Congress are not noted for that lofty and unimpeachable virtue that would induce them to deny themselves in a matter of this kind simply because it happened to be a little burdensome to the already overburdened people who have to pay for such extravagance. TUE NEW SOUTHERN METHODIST BISHOP. On the 21st of May the Rev. John Christian Keener was elected Eisuop or the Methodist Episcopal Church South, by the General Conference in session at Memphis, Tennessee. Bishop Keener was bora la Baltimore, Maryland, In 1819. In hla ninth year he entered the YUlbraham Academy, Massachu setts, of which Dr. Fisk was then principal. Three years afterwards Dr. Flak removed to the AVes- leyan University, at Mlddletown, Connecticut, and Mr. Keener entered the first regular class that was formed In that institute. He graduated in 1835 and went into the drug business In Baltimore. At the end of one year In business on his own account he resolved to become a minister of the Gospel, and Immediately sold out that he might qualify himself for tl at otllce. He removed to Alabama and was licensed to preach In 1842. The following year he was admitted to the Alabama Conference. The ap pointments to which he was assigned In suc ceeding years were arduous and responsible. Ia 1S43 a nan of peculiar qualifications was needed for the wont or the cuurcn in New Orleans, w hich was then considered a difficult and dangerous post. JMr. Keener was selocted. lie has- been almost continuously since that time identified with the cause of Methodism and of Protestantism In that city, lie has been pre6idlog elder of the dis trict, with brief interruptions, since 1859. Since 1S06 he has discharged, in addition to those of presiding elder, the duties of editor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate. He has devoted especial care to the colored cliurches, and has been very success ful with them. His services during the prevalence of the yellow fever and other epidemics are re membered gratefully. He is a diligent student and a strong writer. He is a man of positive character and of principle, with which he comblues a pleasing address, and a willingness to compromise ou nou- esteutial points. The degree of D. D. was conferred on him by Lagrange College m 18S0. The Methodist Episcopal Church South now has eight bishops. 6PEOIAL NOTICES.

STORE, Ko. 150 North FRONT Street. rLILAUELPUIA, FA. To vlmm ft nm.v concern: All the leading medical authorities rec agnize the value of diffusive stimulants. Numerous eminent physicians and surgeons might be named who have advocated their employment in the treatment of a large class of disorder. No Dispensary is considered complete without thorn. They are prescribed in all public and private hospitals, and administered by all bedside practitioners. But the difficulty has been to obtain .Alcoholic Liquors Pure. Tbe pungent aroma of tbe fusel oil and biting acids pre sent in ail of them can be scented as the glass is raised to the lips. The nauseous fUvorof these active poisons is perceptible to tbe palate, and a burning sensation in the stomach attests their existenoe when the noxious draught has gone down. Paralysis, idiocy, insanity and death are the pernicious fruits of such potations. Medical science asks tor a pure stimulant t. uso as a speciho, which, while it diffuses itself through the system more rapidly lhan any other known agent, is brought into direct and active eontact with the seat of disease. It is tbe property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of its peculiar nutritious component parts to invigorate, regulate, counteract and restore, and it ia by the happy union ot the principle of activity with the principle of in vigoration aud restoration that enables a 1'IHII'I WHISKY To accomplish beneficial results.
