THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
'Rarely has any ecclesiastical body convened
--hi-Philadelphia more distinguished_for_its_col , .
teethe ability, or more' interesting in' its hi's
term associations and its moral significance,
- than the General Assembly of the Presbyte
rian Church, now in session within the same
walls that echoed the fierce debates which
receded the disruption of this great rellgiims
denomination, a third of a century ago.
If Time is the consumer of things, it is also
the-bealer-of-things.. -Thirty-three-years_of_
separation between brothers, equal in all the
qualities that go to make up great religious
kftlliet t have gr?dt:',', - worn away the technical
points of controversial difference ; and th 9 vital
Tower of a common ancestry, a common history,
a common faith, a common work,'it 'common
aospel, has drawn the once contending wings
of the Presbyterian Church together into one
body, more compact and. far more powerful
than when it was rent asunder.
Years have been wisely spent in mature de
liberations over the prablerd - of re-Mail:lg; -the
fold and New School branches of the Presby
terian Church. The two bodies have felt them
selves drawn nearer and nearer to each other
by an irresistible instinct, and as they have
narrowed the dividing distance, obstacles that
seemed insuperable have, one by one, been
" removed and cast into the sea" of oblivion,
A - p.crfcct , -and enduring-communfqn and
fellowship has been realized.
The General Assembly, nal? assembled, is a
noble collection of men, both of the clergy and
the laity, representing, in an eminent degree,
the educated intelligence of the American
Church. They are warmly welcome to Phila-
delpbia, and during their sojourn . here, will
v . doubtless enjoy all those generous hospitalities
for which our peOple enjoy such enviable fame.
THE QIIANDABY OF SPAIN.
The revolutionists.of Spain find it was easier
to empty their throne than it is to fill it. That'
baugage, Isabella, was packed off with little
trouble when the time came and the pluck
along with the time. But now, for more than
a year and a half, while the throne and the
monarchical system are declared by the Cortes
to be still existent, no one can be found fit to
11 the throne,and to be,even experimentally, a
king for Spain. The Prince of tbe Asturias,
the Duke of Montpensier, Prince Henry of
Bourbon, the ex-King Ferdinand of Portugal,
Prince Frederick of Prussia, Serrano, Espar
taro, Prim, anti a • dozen others have been
named,but no one of them possesses the gnat&
cations which the emergency demands. So Spain
remains under a proviiional government, with
-a-regent who is' not of royal blood ; with--a
Cortes in which no man has a majority; with
a people happy at being rid of a strumpet as
their sovereign, but utterly at sea as to the
future of their government. The best that can
be said of the administration in Madrid is that
it is an organized anarchy. An empty treasury,
a depleted army, an apparently endless revo
_n the colony that has been the chief source of
revenue, a prostrated commerce, and a people
utterly demoralized—politically, financially,
religiously and socially—present such a picture
of Spanish trouble as has never before been
eluded in the most trying times of the turbu
lent but often romantic and picturesque history
virile once great Spanish nation.
The simple American plan, of letting the
people choose their ruler, cannot be tried in
Spain, because every leader in every faction
refuses to trust to the choice of the people
Beside that, the people are not willing to trust
to their own choice. They went blindly am
joyously into the revolution which expelle
Isabella and ber worthless crew; but they bad
no plans beyond the expulsion. The clergy.
the politicians, and the various aspirants to the
throne, with their several factious, have been
pulling at them ever since, and they are,,in
a condition of seemingly hopeless bewilder
ment.. The Republicans, in the Cortes and
out of it, have the right theory for any nation that
is bunting for a government. But they are in
the minority, and their theory, if put into
practice, might prove to be fallacious, with a
people that has shown no fitness for self
government and no appreciation of the idea of
republicanism. What with ignorance and
bigotry among the people, and irrecencileable
feuds between the politicians and their fac
tions, Spain seems to be in an almost hopeless
condition. Her powerful neighbor, France,
and her weak nei;hber,'Portugal, are alike hi
capable of helping her. Like Greece, and
I)enmark,. and half a dozen other States of
Europe that the so-called "Great Powers"
have been quarrelling about for years,
with the ridiculous idea of preserving a
balance of power, Spain, as a political
organization, is a nuisance to her own people,
and an annoyance to all others. She is even
an annoyance to the American people, although
they are thousands-- of miles away from Ma
4W. For her government is not able to main- .
taiia its authority, in' a little colony, near our
~ : 091 : e8 1 ,wlilcl?piuld be brought to order in .a
"few - Weeks bYirliall'7doien'tegitrients - of Ante- ,
Titan soldiers. Cuba, ungoverned, .misgoverned,
insurgent, is a nuisance to the United States,
and if Spain shall continue incapable. to pa-
1E44. it, or if the Cubans shall continue incapa
.l)le of making themselves independent, scale
thing will have to be done Boon by the United
1 States. Weican be tolerably indifferent to the
failure of Spanish authority in Europe, but we
cannot much longer pretend tifat, after such
failure, it can have any substantiaLexiStence-on

The blends 'of the ;scheme; for. tho,antierxa
tion of San Domirgo are stillliard at work
trying to secure faverable consideration Ofi
their plans in Congreis: /I is repOrteil thatthe .
hefty Mug be 'ratified by the United Btates by;
the first ; of. June, if:; We want 'to seedrii the'
island ; and accounts for the remarkable
energy, that the annexationists are displaying , at;

.CS not particularly apparent when we re-
Member that the first, limit appointed by Baez
was passed withoutaction being taken, and the
time`eras then extended with that', gracious
readiness which might be expected from a man
who is a great deal more anxious for the stic
ceis of the'scheme than we ,are.', The present
preposition is, that, for the sum of $1,500m0
to be expended in paying the debts
of the Baez , Government, , the.
island is .to be annexed to .the
United States as a territory. Ajoint Commis=
mission is to be appointed to pay the dehts,and
if these exceed the sum named, public land-)
are to be pledged. for the excess: The treaty
also gives' us all the forts, arsenals, public
tuildhlgs, stores, &e., belonging to the govern
-ment.--I.lis-proposition-is open to -several ob
jections. It is asserted that there are in San
Domingo no forts, arsenals, public buildings;
stet es,&c., that are worth taking possession of;
and .Air. Belsey declared in Congresfryesterday :
that the debts of the government might safely,
be estimated at, something like fifty millions of
dollars. Nobody knows exactly what the
amount of the indebtedness is; and we shall
-probablrnever-know, - --unless,.--unfortnnately,-
we are called upon to pay it. We have posi
ive information; however, of one loan to the
amount of $1,400,000, which was negotiated
by Baez at a discount of 'Viper cent.; and there
iA Very good' reason to believe that others have
been made at the same heavy rates which we will
'have to pay at par. These simple facts ought
to defeat the_ SA:n Domingo scheme, even if'
there a ere no`" otherconsiderations, such as
the-doubt - Which exists of the popularity Of the
measure among the Dominicans ; the danger .
of incorporating an entire nation of different
customs, langnage, laws, and race in our body
politic, and the expense of maintaining a
government in the island under the most favor
able circumstances. We do not want any
more territory, even if we can get
it fcr nothing. tut especially - is- it
undesirable if it has' to be purchased at
an expense which seems - morefrightful because
of the uncertainty in which its amount is in
volved. There will not be two opinions
among seniible American citizens upon this
subject. They are Opposed .to spending any
more money upon territorial acquisitions while'
• our finances are in their. present condition.
And the Congressman who. supports this.wild.
scheme for the expenditure of fifty or sixty
millions of dollars at-the very time that he de
clares that the Government cannot afford to
repeal an odious income tax, which never can
produce, a, revenue of more than, eighteen mil
lions per"annum, is not to occupy a position
as a representative of the people: We hope the
Senate will defeat this scheme as soon as it
cones before them. -
TME MUTUAL LIFE ANSI:MANCE COM
Y: - -
It will be remembered that an organized
black-mailing raid was made upon the Life In
surance Companies by the last New York
Legislature,_which totally failed of its object, in
consequence of the prompt refusal of the lead
lug companies to be fleeced. It is well known
that men went to the last New York Legisla
ture, proclaiming that the railroad companies
were "played out" as sources- of black-mail
and that now tho must "go 'for - the Life in
surance Companies."
We publish below a brief correspondence
which is a most satisfactory refutation of the
false insinuations and charges brought against
the insurance companies. The- Mutual Life
Insurance Company, by virtue of its great pro
minence and the enormous interests which it
has at stake, took a leading part, last winter,
in resisting this legislative raid, and has, of
course, been made a chief centre of attack. As
one of the methods of carrying on this nefarious
warfare, a man named J. W. McCulloh, who,
by some pretext, wormed himself into the ses
sions of the Legislative Investigating Commit
tee, now proclaims himself as an authorized
person to investigate the affairs of the Mutual
Life, and has called a meeting of the New
Eneland policy-holders, to whom he pretends
o be able to substantiate charges affecting the
integrity of the management of the Company.
The object of this movement is too plain to
need further exposition. The following cor
respondence now explains itself:
" BOSTON, MASS., May 18,1870.— T0 GeorgelT.

that he has roads many charges against tife
officers of that company, all of which have
been sustained by you. Is this true? Have
the officers, or any of them, committed
any wrong or breach of trust? What is the
result of your examination? A public meet
ing of policy-holders is calledrto.meet. hero
Thursday, which McCullolt, proposes ,to ad-
dress. In your opinion, after the investiga
lion you have made, is there anything in the
conduct of the officers of the Company which

The very hearty welcome extended to the

been so warmly.euressed through the public

The impropriety Of such an arrangement a,
this is too obvious to need any comment what
ever. The idea of a New Yolk newspaper re
porter huckstering out the proceedings of th.:
General Assembly to the Philadelphia news
papers is too ridiculous even to be seriously ,
denounced. It is no more or less than a small
money-making dodge ou the part of this Goth
smite reporter; but it is direct discourUEsy
the. Philadelphia press, on the part of some of
ficial representatives of the. General Assembly
which we call upon the Philadelphia delegate
to have immediately redressed: Philadelphh
opens its hospitable arms to the Assembly wits
its warmest " brotherly love," and does nct

•As we anticipated, the attack of that dis
tinguished City Father, Dr. Kanterly, upon
Chief Commissioner Dickinson; has literally
turned to deist and ashes. Mr. Dickinson first
shows that Dr. Kamerly's resolution of in
quiry was perfectly unintelligible, and next,
that the use of ashes' *as authorized by Coun
cils themselves. We believe both Mr. Barlow
and Dr. Kamerly voted for this very ordinance,
when it was unanimously passed by Councils.
'Mr. Dickinson places the subject in a perfectly
clear light, and shows very plainly that the
Kamerly-Barlow attack upon him was unwar
ranted and therefore an' act of injustice to a
good public officer, which we are glad to see so
promptlyideunteracted.
Commissio er Dickinson has resisted the use
i .
of ashes for p ving, and now asks for a re
peal of the or inane°. Mr. Franciscus intro
-1 duced a repealing ordinance which was re

presume it will meet with no opposition in
Councils, unless thereoare members interested

course, prefer ashes to gravel, for paving pur-
The Protestant Episcopal Convention on Wed
nesday took very natural and sensible ground
on the common school question, The report
of the Committee on Christian Education pre
sented the two following resolutions, which,
after a stout resistance on the part of the two
or three clerical delegates, were adopted by a
large majority. This action is significant, On
account of its indirect bearing upon the ques
tion of the use of the Bible in the publi •
schools, and may fairly be accepted as the pre
vailing sentiment of all the Protestant denotni-
nations on this important subject :
Besolved, That there is no sufficient reason
of duty or of policy to impel this Church to
set herself in antagonism to the system ol
common schools established by the State, for
the instruction of. all the children of the pee.
ple in the most important elementary branche:-
pf secular knowledge.
Rfso/t4.d, Ttiat the Church should welcome,
and she does welcome, this system as an inval
uable aid in the accomplishment of a part ol
the work - which would otherwise devolve
upon her, and accomplishing it with iamb
greater thoroughness and efficiency than with
her preseht appliances she is capable of.; sb
should, and she will; heartily co-operate with
the. system, endeaVoring to infuse into it, and
engrave upon it, as much as possible of religi
ous life and sound religious influence.
Several of the daily papers which devote
tltemselves eSpecially to exaltation of lion.. Wm.
D. Kelley take pains to inform their readet:,
that this gentleman is opposed to further in,
position of the income tax. We are glad to re
cord the fact also, for Mr. Kelley's constituents
are nearly unanimous intheir desire for the re
peal of the,tax, and it is his duty to represent
them fairly in the matter. But while we give
him credit for entertaining proper opinions.
upon the subject, vir wish to do justice to his
eolleagues,who are completely ignored by most
of the journals which, by a singular coinci
dence, chant sir. Kelley's praise at the same
moment. Every other Republican member of
theXhiladelPhia delegation in Congress enter
taitis-preelteli-Ithe-sathe-yiews-of the-repeat--of
the incoatie - tax and 'we believe 311.. Randall
joins with them in their opposition. 'ltis
simply.fair that this should be said, fur the ar
ticles of which we have spoken, whether inten
tionally or not, certainly convey the impression
that Mr. Kelley is contending fiercely, without
the stipport of his colleagues, for the Satisfac
tion of the demands of our people. '

'Mayor Fox has done a 'very proper thing in
vetoing the bill inviting the New York Seventh

them the hospitalities of the city. Why tlie

hoviever, it was defeated in the Select Council
by a unanimous vote. If Philadelphia,has any

Somerset County Suffers.
The Somerset Herald, of the 18th inst., says
"On Friday-afternoon last this town and
vicinity was visited by a terrible storm, of hail
apd rain. The hailstones were the size of
small marbles; anffdid.consicierable damage to
garden plants. The strawberry- patches and
peach orchards are reported to have received
some injury, but it is difficult to state the ex
.s,r., tent of the damage, as there are con
--ilicting opinions about the matter. In one
orchard, situated about three miles from
town. there were not many peaches knocked
off the trees, but the hail cut and bruised a
great number, thus leaving specks in the truit
which may cause it to decay and drop off.
Tomato plants, onions, cabbages, etc., were
generally riddled and beat down, but they
possess so much vitality that they will, in all.
likelihood, recover from the terrible pelting.
The storm came principally from the north
east and continued about a half-hour. The rain
descenda in torrents, and the lightning was
' terribly grand."

LISBON, May 20, 2 P.M.—A revolt has taken
place among the.,Royal troops, who rallied to
the standard of Marshal saldanha, and have
secured for the latter an important position in
the Ministry.
The emeute was inspired by the Marshal,
who, by his
. great influence among the mili
tary, has been successful in securing the cov
eted portfolio.
The affair was a complete surprise, and but
little excitement existed among the populace,
and the coup d'etat was finished.
The following are the latest particulars of
the affair: Early yesterday a pronunciantento
appeared in Lisbon, over the signature of the
aged Duke d'Saldanha, addressed to the army,
and ealling_upon his comrades to rally and
support him in his pretensions. Six battalions
ol_thelorces_comprisim , the_garrison—rallied
tohis call. .
Ihe battalions advanced upon the Roynl
Palace troops stationed there, who. resisted
them, and repulsed every attempt to occupy
the building.
The revolutionists,Anding themselves un
able to effect an' entrance, retreated.
In this action seven soldiers were killed
and thirty wounded. The action terminated
at noon.
Saldanha withdrew his forces and moved
upon the strong castle of St. George;
Here he was more. successful, and ob
tained complete possession of the entire.city.
The .Ring, finding his 'timed; inadequate to
cope with those of the rebellibus Duke, con
cluded to parley with him, and, if possible,
save a further effusion of blood ; and as it was
(lamed impossible to dislodge the rebels from
their stronghold without a fearful slaughter,
he despatched a courier, requesting the
presence of the Duke, who, lownver, arrived
at the Royal Palace . shoiTly after.
Saldanha had an interview with the King.
Prime Minister Luwe being also present,
The Rohe dictated the terms, whickwere
that he be installed in the position of Minis
ter of War, and entrusted with the formation
of a new Cabinet. '
The _King replied,conceding the request and
appointing him to.the position.
The Prime Minister, enraged and disgusted
at this conduct of his sovereign, instantly Nn
dored his resignation, declaring that he could
nO longer serve under a dishonored govern
ment.
The cities of Oporto and other towns sympa
thized with the movement, which Wll4 purely
military in its character.
The people remained tranquil, and did not
participatif in the affair, as the movement Was
so sudden and unexpected that the peoplewere
lost in amazeinent at the spectacle of .lu:raged
Nittle-scarred hero dictatiiig terms to-his
.sovereign.
