The Rev. Dr. Beatty, of Steubenville, Ohio, presented the report of the joint committees of the Old and New School branches of the Church on the subject of reunion, These committees were appointed in 1866, and consisted of fifteen members from each body, The report is signed by all the members. It recommends a reunion on the follow- ; ing basis :~ ‘ First.—The reunion shall be effected on the doc- trinal and ecclesiastical basis of our common stan- dards, The Scriptures of the Old and New Testa- ments shall be acknowledged as the inspired Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and prac- tice, The confession of faith shall continue to be received ag containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures. Second.—All the ministers and churches embraced in the two bodies shali be admitted to the same standing in the united body which they may hold in their respective connegtions up to the consummation of dhe union; Third.—The boundaries of the several presbyteries and synods shall be adjusted by tie General Assem- bly of the united Church; ~ Fourth.—The official records of the two branches of the Church shall be held as making up the one history of the Church, and no rule which does not stand approved by both shall be of any authonty un- til re-established im the united body, except so far as such rule may effect the rights of property. Fifth.—The comporane rights now Tela by the two General Assemblies shall be consolidated and ap- plied for their several objects as defined by law. Sizth.—There shall be one set of committees of boards for home and foreign missions and other Teligious enterprises of the Church. nth—As 800N as practicable the Generel Assem- bly shall reconstruct and consolidate the several per- manent committees and boards, which now belong to the two Assemblies, Eighth—The publications of the Board of Publica- tion and of the Publication Committee shall continue to be issued as at present, leaving it to the Board of TEbiications of the united Church to revise these issues. Ninth—Those theological seminaries that are now uuder Assembly contro! may, if their boards of direc- tion so elect, be transferred to the care of one or more of the adjacent synods. Tenth—It is agreed that the presbyteries possess the right to examine ministers applying for admuis- sion from other presbyteries; but each presbytery shall be left free to decide for itself when it shall ex- ercise the right. Eleventh—It shall be regarded as the duty of all our judicatories, ministers and people in the united Church to study the things which make for peace and to guard against all needless and offensive references to the causes that have divided us, Tweyth—The terms of the reunion, if they are ap- proved by the General Assemblies of 1863, shall be turned over to the several presbyteries under their care and shall be of binding force if they are ratitied by three-fourtns of the presbyteries connected with each branch of the Church within one year after they shall have been submitted to thei for approval After some discussion it was resolved to take up at once for consideration this plan for reunion and continue the discussion upon it without other inter- — than the special orders before made. ( ev. Sainuel W. Flisher, of Otica, of the New School Church, and a representative from the joint convention of 1867, made an earnest and eloquent appeal in behalf of a reunion.

In the Methodist Episcopal Conference to-day Bishop Morris, senior Superintendent, was excused from active service, except so far as his health may allow. Bishop Baker, of New Hampshire, was also allowed to do such work during the next term as his impaired health may permit. 7A paper was presented and read from certain ! men in 9 ition to the admission of lay delega- tions, whi was referred to the comumittee on that subject. 7 e repott of the Committee on Sunday Schools was |. _It recommends an increase of books ted to Sunday school purposes, the continuance ofthe Sunday Journal in its present form d the admission of life members of the society to the meetings of the Board of Managers. .

Eleven con- ferences have as pHaualiqed approval of the principle nd twenty have expressed a readiness to grant it upon demand of the people, Other conferences have expressed no deci ded views on the subject. The General Conference has twice voted in favor of the principle. Once it had been submitted to the popular vote and had failed by a small minority vote, it having been taken amid ihe excitement of the late war, when the people were generally too much concerned about the preservation of the national life to give the subject much atten- tion. Those who memorialize the General Conference on this subject believe that the highest judiciary of the Church 1s called upon to consider these questions. in which the laity are equally interested with the clergy and 7 entitled to have @ voice.

AMUSEMENTS. THE New YORK MUSICAL FESTIVAL Hail and Son (we mean the smaller hall) was tested to the utmost extent last night both in sitting and standing room to accommodate the immense au- dience that crowded there to hear the oratorio of the “Creation,” on the fifth night of the grand musical festival. It was one of the largest houses that ever greeted the expectant eyes of a manager in this city, Many were turned away at the door for want of room, and many inside the door lis- tened to the oratorio without the slightest posst bility of seeing the stage. The “Creation” ts a work which appeais irresistibly to every mind sus- ceptible of music, for never w great subject treated with more distinctness, dramatic effect and com- pleteness. As each w of the Creator is announced and described, the music, vocally aud instrumentally, is unmistakable. The principal distinguishing char- acteristic of Haydn is distinctness of description, to- gether with boldness and simplicity In his treatment of a subject. To point out the beauttes of the “Cre- ation” would be to take up each number, for volumes the Cly might be written of each. [It is an opera in every sense of the word, as we take opera; for the action the ete | of the word is described inthe most vivid manner, and not th most minute and learned disguisition onthe marve! lous work of the first six days of this terrestrial ree could be more plain than the miusic of Haydn. ‘he soloists last night were:—Madame Parepa-Kosa, soprano; George Simpson, tenor, and J. RK. ‘Thomas, baritone. The latter gentleman excell himself in the magnificent solo, ‘Roiling in Foaming Billows,"’ especially in the finale, ‘“Softiy Purling,”’ which he rendered with feeling and expression. Madame Rosa sang, if possible, better than we have ever heard li in oratorto before. ‘In Verdure Clad,” “On Migh Pens,” and the soprano part of that incomparable duet, “By Thee with Bliss," were gems worthy of the highest praise. Mr. Simpson sang “In Verdure Clad” ina style that —. sed even his most ardent admirers. These are only iva treasures that were ilberally poured forth last night The chorus was also better than usual, if we € “The Heavens are Telling,” which, owing to the manifest nervousness and excitement of the conduc: tor, Was hurried in such a manner that it became blurred and indistinct in some of the parts. There wilt be two performances to day—matinée and eve! ing. At the matinée the principal fe ture will be George Morgan's overture to his oratorio, “John the Baptist,” and in the evening the best concert ever given in Stein- way Hail is announced. J, N. Pattison, one of ow most attractive pianists, will play the celebrated Hereelt concerto, Beethoven's grand symphony, “Wellington's Victory,” will be performed with fuil orchestra, the Seventh regiment band and Graham's drum corps, in all about two hundred instruments, and W. J. Hill, the well known tenor, will sing the “Marsetlialse’ with orchestral accompaniment, A dozen other interesting works are on both bills. Musical and Dramatic Notes.

WASHINGTON, May 22, 1868, The Impcachment Plot. The most recently repo,"ted develop;aent of the im- peachment plot is that whe is suppased to have been contrived by Butler, Staxton and Pomeroy, to set a trap for Cooper, the Assistant Secreta ty of the ‘Treasury, and other friends of the President, It is said the worthy trio mentioned put their heads togother and came to the conciusion that there wore some weak mortals among the advisers of the execu- tive who could be induced to commit such an actand prevail upon the President to sanction it as would form a basis for another impeachment article of irre- sistible force, and one bound to insure conviction, Cooper testified that Pomeroy signified to him in a written letter, through his brother-in-law Gaylord, that for forty thousand dollars he would control four Votes and his own for acquittal, Pomeroy denied to- day, in the following letter addressed to the National Intelligencer, thar he ever wrote or authorized the writing of such a letter;— Sir—I see in the Itelligencer of this morning what purports to be a letter of mine produced aud sworn to by Coloucl Cooper, as follows:— SENATE CHAMBER. Sik—T will in good faith carry out any arran, ment made with my brother-in-law, Willis Gaylord, to which Lam a party, 8. C. POMEROY, In reply I will state that [never wrote nor autho- rized the writing of the above, and that the whole is an entire fabrication. S.C. POMEROY, This evening Pomeroy was asked for an explana- tion, but had none to give beyond the mere denial of not having written such a letter as Cooper had sworn to. Cooper's charge was very eXx- piicit and receives strong color of support front & document which will be very soon made public, of anterior date to the letter in question, signed with the genuine autograph of S. C. Pomeroy, and promising ;im,case a certain office was placed at the disposat’ of ‘a certain friend of Pomeroy’s that he would support the ailministration, vote for all nominations and’ vote. against impeach- ment if it ever came up before the Senate, Either the story must be true that he tried to exchange his opposition to the President for certain executive favors or that he conspired with Stanton and Butler to draw the President's friends into a trap, in the hope of drawing the President after them, The de- niat he mak es of never haying written the letter is a very safe one, for the reason that Gaylord, to whom he gave it to show to Cooper, never allowed it out of his hands, and, having failed to accomplish its object, was in all likelihood torn up, thus destroy- ing all’ trace of the transaction, Butler, if he was really sincere in advancing radical interests, should never have put such a question to Cooper as drew forth the damaging an- swer it did. Thad Stevens was very much annoyed, and said this morning that all thelr work was undone by this course of examination; that none but a tyro in law would propound such a question to a witness, and no copperhead could wish for a better answer than what was recorded, When the Senate assembles on Monday the con- servatives intend to call for a committee of investi- gation fo sift this matter to the bottom, and the general impression even with many radicals is that Pomeroy cannot escape the penalty of expulsion on the evidence as it stands. The Witnesses Examined. The witnesses examined to-day were Colone! H son, an Indian agent, Perry Fuller, Sunset Cox, Sam Ward, Treasurer Spinner and J. F. Legge’ Cox testified he was ata dinner given to the Presi- dent's counsel by Woolley, but nothing beyond some of Joe Miller's jokes revamped by Cox could be re- collected by the witness. Henderson, Fowler and Ward refused to tell what they did with the money they drew out of bank. It was used, as they said, for purposes wholly foreign to the inquiry on foot and was no business of the committee's. Another Revolutionary Proje Among the other enterprising projects of the revo- inttonary cabal here in Washington is said to bea bill drawa up some weeks ago on the assurance of conviction being certain, but now temporarily laid aside, for such a reconstruction of the Supreme Court as would get rid of Chief Justice Chase and under the rule of Ben Wade place Stanton at the head of the highest judiciary tribunal. This matter is now slumbering, but if the President be convicted on Tuesday it will be very quickly revived. wator Fowler on Lupeachme: of Tennessee, filed his opinion les of impeachment to-day. It upon the eleven ar’ is quite lengthy, covering about fifty pages of le cap paper, about one half of which is devoted to the first article, and the argument against the second article occupies n pages more.

Representative Boutwell, of Massachusetts, who was standing at his side, addressed him as fol- lows:— GENERAL—This agscmbiage of your fellow citizens, brought together without organization or previous arrangement, have desired me to express to you their gratification at your unanimous nomination for President of the United States (applause) by the Re- publican Convention, recently assembled at Chit (Renewed applause.) The unanimity with which you have been nominated, almost if not altogether without an example in the history of our country, furnishes a suificient indica. tion of the vast majority, if not entire unanimity, with which the nomination will be sus- tained by ‘the loyal people of the country. (Ap- plause.) " The republican party has not yet had an Soertanits SF eee itscapacity for the government of the republic tn time of peace. We have had a war of more thi four years’ duration, but the vali and patriotic ople of this country, auder" ene leadership, quelled the mightiest rebellion the world hasever seen against the best government known ings history of mankind. You will be supported in thé contest upon which you have entered b; same heroic men who were with you at Shiloh, in the Wilderness and before Richmond, and you are to meet with the opposition of a comparatively few of those who have returned to the support of the Union, the constitution and the fag of the country, and with but few exceptions, you are to be opposed by the same men, animated by the same principles which animated the men engaged in the rebellion you were so instrumental in overthrowing. (Ap- planse.) The nation expects and will receive from you the same devotion to its interests, the same patriotism in your purposes, the same integrity and firmness of will which characterized your cominand of its armies, and doubt not that in the contest which is now before us we shall achieve a victory as memorable in the history of our country as that which illustrated the army of the republic at the surrender of Richmond, Your fellow cilizens will support you in this contest. They wilt support your administration, knowing that your ad- ministration will be characterized by firm- ness, by integrity, by patriotism, by good sense, and all the’ manly qualities ‘which have marked your past career. My fellow citizens, I have now the pleasure of presenting to you the next President of the United States, General Grant, the commander of your armies, (Renewed and long- continued applause.) NON-COMMITTAL SPEECH FROM GENERAL GRANT. General Graut then said:— GENTLEMEN—Being entirely unaccustomed to public speaking and without the desire to cultivaje that power (laughter), it is tmpossibie for me to find appropriate language to thank you for this demon- stration. All that Ican say is, that to whatever po- ¢ sition | may be called by your will, L shall endeavor to discharge the duties with fidelity and honesty of purpose, Of my rectitude in the performance of public duties you will have to judge for yourselves by my record before you. Three cheers were then given for General Grant. Hundreds of the crowd then entered the house and congratulated the General. REMARKS OF CONGRESSMAN Y'IK The procession then moved to the residence of Speaker Colfax. Calls having been made for him, hie appeared at the door of his residence in company with Representative Pike, of Maine, who said:— We are here to-night to exp our gratification that while the Convention, recently assembled av Chicago, took such good care to reflect the public will in nominating a candidate for President of the United States in the person ora distinguished;chief- tain, General Grant, they took equally good care to se- lect for the second place on the successful ticket a gentieman whose character, public and private, Whose long and well known services and high and coustant devotion to principle, afford sufficient vround to believe that no person, representing either himself alone, or as a party, will strike at the lirst for the purpose of securing a traltorous admin- isiration for the second. (Appiause.) I will not de- tain you longer. [have now the pleasure of intro- ducing to you the next Vice President of the United dtates. SPEECH OF MR. COLFAX. se remarks having been received wi Speaker Colfax said :— My FRIENDS—I thank you with all the emotions of a grateful heart for tis fatvering manifesta your confidence and regay ouon ihe auspicious opening of the eventful campaign on which we are entering. In the Chicago Convention, representing the entire continental area of the republic, every State, every territory, every district and every delegate, from ocean to ocean, declared that their first and only choice for President was Ulysse 'S. Grant, | (Grewt applai Brave and yet unassuming. Reticent and yet, when necessary, firm as the eternal hills. (Applause.) With every thought and hope and aspiration for his country, with modesty only equalled by his merits, It ix not extravagant for one {to say that he ts jay, of all other men in the land, “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his country: men.” (Great applause.) His name is the very ynym of victory, and he will lead the Chion hosts to triumph at ihe polis as he led the Union armies to triumph in the fleld, But greater even than the conqueror of Vicksburg and the destroyer of the rebellion is the glorious inspira- tion of our noble principles, aninated by the sub- lime truths wf the Declaration of Independenc Our banner bears an inscription more magnetic than the names of tts standard bearers, which the whole world can see as it Moats to the bre erty and loyalty, justice and public safety.” De fying all prejudices, we are for uplifting and protecting the oppressed. (Applause.) ital honor of Our org: zation, that it saved the nation and emancipated a race. We struck the fetter from the limb of the slave and lifted millions into the glorious sunlight of liberty. We placed the emancipated slave on on his feet a* aman and put into his righthand the ballot to protect his manhood and his rights. We staked onr political existence on the reconstruction of the revolted States, on the sure and eternal corner stone of loyalty, and we shall triumph. 1 know there ig no fioliday contest before us, but with energy and zeal, with princi that humanity will prove, and that I beileve God will bless, we shall go through the contest conquering and to conquer; and on the 4th day of March next the people's champion will be borne by the peo- pie’s vote to yonder White House that I regret to say is now dishonored by its unworthy oc- cupant. Then with peace and confiddence we may expect our beloved country to enter upon & career of prosperity which shall eclipse the most brijliant an- nais of our past. 1 bid you God speed ip this work; and now, good night. Applause followed the conclusion of Mr. Colfax's speech and the band played an appropriate air. Many persons in the crowd entered the dwelling and extended their congratulations. z Movements of the Committee Appointed to Inform General Grant of His Nomination, JANESVILLE, Wis., May 22, 1868, The officers of the Nationa!
