TO HAVE USUALLY IXPOKT ANT MEETJNM IN SAINT LOUIS. Overtures of Deep Import Will be Presented. The Westminister Confession of Faith. Case of the Convicted Jew. St. Louis, May 14.?The l'res bvteriuti general assemhlv will tneet Thursday in the Washington and (Jomplon avenue l'resbyterian church, this city. Di vines and laymen, to the number of about 1,000, will be present. Only once before, in li>74, has the assembly met in this city. The interest in the topics of the programme and the scope and possible effects of the overtures to be presented will make this one the most important assem blies held tor the past, 20 years. One of the most important mat ters to be brought up is the ques tion as to whether the Westmin ster confession of faith shall be revived. The following are the sections in the confession to which it is said exception is taken: "'3. By the decree ol (Jod, tor the manifestation of His glory, Rome men and angels are predes tined unto everlasting life and others foreordained untoeverlaat ing death. "4. These angels and men, ( "T predestined and foreordain ed,ar? particularly and unchangeably designed, and their number is so certain and definite that it cannot be either increased or diminished." Several presbyteries have asked specifically thai the assembly should appoint a committee to consider the whole question 01 creed revision, while others tie sire that a new creed be ordered, leaving the old one untouched to he preserved intact as an historical document, while the new vor sion shall be the working creed of the church. These overtures will all be referred to the com mittee on bills and overtures, ol which the Rev. Robert F. Sample of New York will be chairman. A matter of interest will he Hie much discussed case of Her man Warzawiak, 'the converted Jt'W, whose troubles have been aired in the courts ol the church for several years Other overa I tures relate to the ollice of the stated clerk of the assembly, the Rev. Dr. Wm. II. Rohertes, who had held that position for 10 years. The salary up to last year was $3,000, hut when if was in creased to $4,000 other eyes were turned toward the ollice, which is permanent. ElTorts have been made frequently to wrest it from i;r uoixtis ana they will he re newed at this meeting. Rev. Dr. (reorire R Stewart, president ol the Auburn Theological seminary, but formerly of Ilarrisbnrg, the Rev. Dr. Daniel W. Fisher of Hanover. Ind.; the Rev Dr. Win. MoKibbin of Cincinnati and the Rev.

The Washington correspondent if the News and Courier says! hat Congressman Talhert's fine peech, which ho delivered a few lavs ago, is occasioning a great leal of favorable comment anions lis colleagues in the House.

The gentleman : rom Illinois (Mr Mann) made n earnest ?ppeul, almost with ears in his eves, awhile ago to aise the salaries of the letter arriers in the large cities and j nwnc, and he says that it is a nty that they should tie in the: mploy of the government for wenty years and that at. the end f the twenty years draw the ame salary thev did at the start, ou rarely ever hear of one of hem resigning, nor is it often the ase in any of the depart ments of he government.
