MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10.

The Philadeli'HIA American, in reference to the action of the late Northern As¬

sembly of the Presbyterian Church on the

subject of race distinction, says: "The

church, some of the members of which,who are in favor of such distinction,have been quoting as on the recordin favor of separate organization for whiteand black in every body below the GeneralAssembly, now declares that it never has

said or done anything that commits it to

that policy, and came within three votes of

eaying that it did not care a snap of the

fingers what the Southern Assembly thoughtof its action." The American only says wbalactually took place. There may be a re¬

union of the Presbyterian Church of this

country,in the future, but that it will not bo

in the near future, is proved by the

action of the Northern Assembly referred to,as well as by what the American says of that

action. _

Sknator Edmunds says the beat means

to obtaiu a free ballot and a fair count is to

entrust the execution of the registrationand election laws to men of the highestcharacter and ability in the respective precincts, taken from all parties. Goodenough. But if, as General Mahone says o:

hia party, there be not enough intelligenlmen in some of the counties of Virginia tc

fi ] the offices thereof, how is it possible thai

men of the highest character and ability car

be found in that party, in those counties, t<

fill the more numerous registration ant

election offices ? The chief cause of most o

tho differences between the North and tin

South is the dense and utter Ignorance o

the true condition of southern affairs apparently nurped by northern people.

A delegation of kickers who called upon President Harrison last Saturday say hitold them he had not recognized GeneraMahone as the head of the party in Vir

ginta and did not contemplate doing so

Words. All the appointments so far mad*

in Virginia except the Harrlsonburg post-roaster, and to lhat the General had with,drawn his objection, were made on GeneralMahone's recommendation, and no matter

what the President may say to the contraryVirginia republicans have been informed bythe Assistant Postmaster General,and also p.!

tho Treasury and Navy Departments, that

applications for places must be endorsed byGeneral Mahone.

According to Rev. Mr. Madden, of Kan

sas, the people of Johnstown must be worse

than those of Sodom and Gomorrah, as allof those killed by the 'ate flood went to thedevil at once. The reverend gentleman re¬

ferred to, in his sermon in Pitfaburg yesterday, said:"I was in Johnstown when the Hood oc¬

curred, but managed through my own ener¬

gies and peraeverence to escape the HoodThose who did not do so left a warning sixhours old go unheeded, waited, were drown¬ed, and went to hell."But John Brown hailed from Kansas, and

so does Senator Ingalls.A good deal of discussion is now going on

in the newspapers and mar.a/.ines of the

Norlh concerning ways and means by whichto Rfcuro fair elections in this country. Tr

aM of thoao encaged in this discussion thedesired object seems exceedingly hard to at¬

tain, but to wise people it seems that noth¬

ing could be more ea=y. From the point ol

view of the latter, a repeal of the ballot law

and ft return to the good and true old sys¬tem of viva voce voting would effect lh>-desirtd olj^ct at onceand effectually.Mr. CrOPLKV of Georgetown, says: "The

C. & O. ("anal should be repaired ; that n<

railroad could do or much for the Districlof Columbia as that canal, properly man¬

aged, can do, and that no railroad can carrycoal os cheaply as can a canal." Mr. Crop-ley is right. If the Wasbingtonians will eeltheir minds to it, they can induce Con¬

gress to appropriate enough money tr

lengthen the locks and extend the canal trthe Ohio, and then the prosperity of Georgetown will be assured.

Col. O'Fkrrai.l is an efficient Congress¬man and would doubtless make a populargubernatorial candidate and an excellentGovernor, but bis chance for a nominationcan not ctrlainly be improved by the in¬dorsement of tho Washington Pas!, a repub¬lican newspaper edited by Mr. Hat ton, whowhen Postmaster General handed over theVirginia postoflices to Genera! Mahone, niriwho now is the General's chief backer in

Washington._President Harrison has issued an order

abolishing Sunday inspections and dress pa¬rades in the army. Mr. Harrison may be a

sensible man, but the order referred fr>doesn't prove that he is. Dress parades on

Sunday never kept a man from church whowanted to go there, and their abolition willnever make a man go to church who doesn'twant to go. ^_

A REPUBLICAN newspapar soys there isno reason to believe that the late attacksupon tho war record of Muj. Bev. Tuckerinduced the President to revoke the nomi¬nation of the Haytian commissioners. Butpeople who know better say the attacks re¬ferred to, and nothing else, were the solecause of that revocation.

Captain Lucien L. Bass, president of theRichmond board of aldermen, died on Sat¬urday.

FROH WASHINGTON.ipeclsl < 011« londenceol the Alex». Gajesxt]

Washington, D. C. June 10, 18S9.Among the Grangers in tho city to day is

Mr. Merlin, of Cumberland. He says thatmost of the damage to tbe C. & O. canal is

i at or near Harper's Ferry, and that $125,-000 will nut the whelp canal in good orderagain. That .sum, be Bays, can readily, andwill be advanced by tuu people whose interests are Miiwervd by the canal if its re¬

turn be assured. Tho caun! di.-ectois willw el in Annapolis on Wednesday, thoMaryland board of public works on Thurs¬day, and tbe other people interested in thecanal on Friday, and by these severalmeetings 1> something willba done by which tbe canal may be repaired.He seems to tbink that if Mr. Gorman docsnot interfere the canal will be envod.Gen. Groner has been informed by Mr.

Halfo:d, the President's private secretary,that tbe President baa postponed receivingthe "kickera" committee and hearing theirside of the case that now divides the Vir¬ginia republicans until Wednesday next.

The bearing was to trtve taken place to¬morrow, aud io anticipation of that eventmost of the members ot tee committee up-pointed by the ''kickers" at their late meet

to day says that Senator Ransom while walk-ioft in his garden one day last week slipped,and falling, broke thefcamoarra thatnbuliotbad broken during the war.Severn republican members of Congress

are now in tbe city. While they all don'tagree that it will be wise, most of them seem

to think thrtt. tire smiil republican majorityin the ni H mac will fioL only attempt tobo change the rules of that body as to pro-vent democratic filibustering, but to elect a

Speaker who will attempt to carry out thewishes of tbat rasj -rity.Mr. Jobs i) B ackweli, ex-Judge of Dan-

From Jo;;nstown.Yer.torday was the hottest days aicco the

disaster. The hot sun beating down on thewreckr.gc above the bridge has developedthe fact that mary bodies of animals andprobably human beings rtrc yet in the ruinsand the stench r.ti; iog f.-om this pil? wasmore offensive than at any time yet.An export on Saturday opened the vault

of the First Nations! Bank, and the Sav¬ings Bank, aud all their contents were foundjust as tbey iraii been left ou Friday whenthe mighty wave struck, The body of acashier of one of the local banks was foundiu tb?. j-»m by the bridge, and his pocketswere bulging out with huge rolls of curren¬cy. He had evidently grabbed all themoney in tight when the Hood caught, him,with the idea :!' it ben ;bl escape alive andproter' someofthe bank's funds. The moneytaken from him amounted fo about $2 000.Tbe number of the lost is placed now at

between 3.500 end 1 000. The last statement of tfie number cf bodies recovered is1.500.

It is eaid that fully fifty persons heretoforeaccounted as dead are really alive. The re¬

mains that are now being removed from I hedrifts are far advanced in decomposition,and physicians are advocating their crema¬tion as fast as found, as it is almost impossi¬ble to handle them safely.Cambria county may be called upon to

pay a bill for coroner'; inquests amountingto nearly a quarter of a million of dollars.Coroner Ashbridge sä:, s that it is the dutyof tho Coroner to bold ao inquest upon eachbodj- found.Tne blame of the- disaster has been pieced

upon the South Fork Hunting and FishingClub, and so angry are some of the people inthe vicinity thai trouble is learcd.

Gen Rosser's Speech.General Thomas L. Rosser delivered a

speech before the Confederate Memorial As¬sociation at Staunton on Saturday. Hespoke of nations creeling monuments totheir heroic dead. Ho said the differencebetween tbe Northern and Southern monu¬

ments was that in theSouth they were erect¬ed over graves to virtuo and patriotism andin the North, in cities, by Pharisaical Vankeos to enhance real eetate and over thegraves of bounty jumpers and hirelings andempty graves; a::d they expected God Al¬mighty and the Angei Gabriel to resurrecttheir lies- Southern soldies fought for therights of States and the integrity of homes.for virtue ond patriotism, the Northernmen for self, plunder and pBy. Ia lSlil theintegrity of the Southern States was indanger. They withdrew from the cor-

ruptive inflnenco to secure peace and pros¬perity. ''The Southern people aro Saracen.the Northern people Celt," said Gen. Rosaer. ' I chuckle over the results ariaing fromsocialism and anarchism in tho North fromwhich we are free. It has been said that weare the samo people, but that was a longlime ago. New evolution, or some process,has made ua different creatures, and soon

Thenext day two negroes named John Davisand John Forbes; wore arrested as the guil¬ty parties. Forbes confessed to the robberyof Dr. Bryant's store, nnd stated that Daviskept watch at the window while he com-mited the theft.
