An old inhabitant states that in 1812 the mountain was moved in a similar way, but more sevorely than at this time.

Mr, Wentworth's letter is sheorful roading (oxcopt, perhaps, to hia oppo- nents) for 8o dismal a subject.

This advance to tho District Tronsury is accompanied with tho qualification that its amount aball ‘be doducted from tho moxt appropristion for the District. Tho bill to suthorize tho construction at tho ex- ponse of the General Government of & bridgo in tho District was voted down by a decided ma- Jority, auguring ill for Boss Shopherd's schemo to ‘got Congross to pay halt the owrent ox- ponsgs of his Governmont every year.

The Legislature complains that the Company uses the moncy it gets from the country to injure it, by crushing out all competi- tion of othor linos, and that its cbief businoss, nowadays, is to import Coolio Inbor. A memorinl against any more importing of Chineso is also forwarded. ‘The statement wmiade in an editorial paragraph in our last fesuo, that the Plymouth Church of tliis city had decided to accopt tho invitation to tho Cungregational Councilin New York, to in- vestigato cortain chargos sgainat tho Plymouth Cinirch of Brooklyn, was incorract.

In Chicago, the mob contented itself with hooting and yolling and ought to have boon promptly and vigorously dispersed by the police, but in Cloveland the rufiians added to this style of in- sult physical ageault upon tho ladies and upon those gentlomen who sought to protoct them from violance, Mayor Otis has issucd & proola- mation warning the roughs of the oity not to interfore with citizons engagod in the exercise of their lawful rights, and threatening them witth tho promptest punishment by the police if they do 8o, Everybody has heard of Banborn, who sits at tho receipt of custom with Richardson, but has anybody scen bim lately ?

THE BTATE FRINTIRG FRAUDS, The Committee of -the" Illinois Houso of Rop- rosentatives to whom tho investigation of the Btato printing was intruated have had the cour- ago to sum up tho ovidonoo brought boforo them and prosent it to. the Houso without any attompt at whitowashing, untoss it bo in favor of tho Commisslonors. The naturo of this fraud was st forth tu sn editorial articlo printed in Tnx TriouNE of yesterdny, and is followed ont in- dotail in the Committeo's . roport, which .we print in fdll in our Springflold disputohes thus morning, Bub, having oxbibited suoh unususl candor for a leglslative {nvesti- goting committeo, the gontlomen failed to ngroo wpon the plain duty of recommending that tho frandulont Morritt-Bailhache contracts be do- clered void, and that tho Btate take the full measuro of rotribution and rebate due it. Only 8 minority of tho Committoe could be united upon this plan. Mosars. Bradwoll, Grangor, Barkloy, and Bocock submitted ‘resolutions da- cluring tho contracts to bo null and vold, in addition to. the measures provided for a récovory of the monoy out .of which the Stato hns beon plundercd. But Mesars, Smith, Orendorfr, Pyatt, Oborly, Graut, and Thornton, though conourring in the general finding of tho othors, and believing that the soveral contraots are ''voidable,” do not join in the recommenda- tlon to doclare thom void on account of *tho possible embarrassment 'to the Btate that may arise under the present law.” These gontlomen aro altogother too coutions, It 18 not likely that tho Stato will bo so much om- barrasged in the long run by declaring fraudu- lont contracts void, and making the guilty par- ties givo up their plunder, as it will bo by por- mitting contracta to stand that wore fraudu- lontly conceived and fraudulently carried out. After both roports had boen submitted to the House, they wero rocommitied totho Comimitte with instructions to agroo upon something which swould furnish the Houso o basis for gotion. Our correspondent tells us that an agreoment was rosched by the Committee, aftor the ad- journmont of the Houso, to report the majority recommondstions, which do not includo the de- clared forfeituro of tho contracts. This sinal roport will be submittod to the House to-day. But we love also the intélligence tunt Mr, Bradwoll will offer tho recommendations of the minority as =& - substitute, and wo lopo that the Houso iwill stand by him. Itis tho wish of tho peuple of Tllinois that the print- ing frauds and all other frauds shell not only bo expored but punished, as a warning to am- bitious jobbors in the future, The people of Illinole provose to ‘wipe out -frauds completoly, to demand atonoment for thoso of the past and provide against thoss of the futura, Tho log- islators who have the foresight to assist in the carrying-out of tlns programme will best serve their own interests as well as thoso of the peo- ple. REPEAL THE LAND TAX, The Svringfleld Journal is promp in its oppa-~ sition to tho repeal of the tax on Jand, no matter Low unnecessary such tax may bo. It thinks'it will be & torrible day for Illinois when the State can collect all tho revontia it needs withont any tax on renl estato. Tho first thing it deniesis the power to omit the tax on land. Inthe Cou- stitution of 1848, the article onrevenue read : The General Asscmbly shiall provide for' lovying a tax by valuation, eo that overy person and corporation shall poy o tax in propordon to the value of his or her property, ote. This was the law until tho adoption of the Constitution of 1870, whon the phrascology was changed 8o a8 to read as follows: Tho Genoral Assembly shall provide such revente as may be needful by levsing o tax, by valuation, o that evory person and corporation shall pay a tax in pro- portlon to the value of is, her, or #ts proporty—such value fo be ascertained by somo person or porsons Lo e clected or appointed in such manner as the Gonorul Assombly ‘shall dirct, and not otlicrwise; but the Goneral Aszembly shall have powor to tax peddlers, auctloneers, brokers, hawkers, merchants, commission merchante, ehowmen, Jugglers, inbkeopory, ‘gracery morehants, liquor-dealors, toll-bridges, ferries, {nunr— auco, telegraph, and expresa interests or business, venders of vatonts, and pereons and corporations owning or using franchises ond privileges, i auch munner na it shull, from timo to timo, direct by gen= aral Inw, uniform s to tho class upon which, it oper- at It will be soen that the Constitution of 1870 oxpressly contemplated - revepue from other sources than the tax by valuation, and expressly provided that tho amount to be ralsed by that modo should only be *such ravonue as may bio needfal;” that is, in addition to what was re- ceived from tho other sourcos. This is made clear by another provision of the Constitution which limits tho appropriations to be made by the Legielature to tho .amount of revenue authorizod to be raised; and provides that the amount authorized to be raised shall bo fixed by the Legislature #o as to includo the whole State oxpenditures for two yoars. Thus, such amount of revenue ‘‘as moy bo needful” can be com- puted to a dollar, and is computed every year by tho State officors and Logislature, | by first estlmating tho amount of rov- enue to bo receivod from other: sources and then lovying o tax by valoation to produce the smount **ncedful ” to supply the deficiency. We have shown that by tho taxation ‘of the sev- oral occupations named in the Constitution, and by &'tax on the gross receipts of one class of cor- pdrations and on the sales of others, the Btato will bo in the receipt of rovonuo far in oxcoss of all its wants, rendering it unnecessary to lovy any tax by valuation on land or o ther proporty. The objection raised is to the vower of the State to omit tho Jand tax when the Btateisin tho receipt of sufficlent rovenuo without 1t. Tho entiro revenue authorized to be'collacted for State purposes in 1874 15 92,600,000 It is inaist- ed that though the State were in receipt of 3,000,000 of revenue from other sources, it must 6till lovy the tax by valuation on al the real and personal proporty of the people, desplto the restriotion that such tax shall only be lovied to supply * such revenue as may bo needful.” ‘This objection implies that tho tax la porpotual 3 and that, if tho Btate has mora rovonue than it wauts, it istho duty of the Leplslaturo to find menna tospond it, in oxder to oboy tha Constitu- tion| This fu like Senator Carpentor’s argu- went in favor of the salary-grab, Bonator Starno has proposed in“the Loglela- ture & resolution to amend the Constitution by transposing tho two pavis of the sentenco of whioh thie rovenuo artiolo is composed, Ifo pro- posos to make the socond clause tho fivet, ana tho first clause tho socond. This is intendoed to imply that tho power glven in the sccond clauso cauuol be used, excopt fu aid of the.firaty that untl . tho' powdr A0 WX properly 8. oxhnusted tho othor power. cannat bo exercinod. This assumption is both gratu- itous aud foolish, for the power to tax by velua- tlonis unlimitod, and if that powoer muat bo firat oxhinustod, tho othor powor oan novor bo exorolsod ot nll. Buppose tho Btato oxpenses shiould bo reduced to the oxact amount rocelved from the Illinois Contral Railrond and tho Iiti- nols & 2fiohigan Causl, Would it still bo nocess- ary to tax all tho farms and town lote, in order to oboy the Constitution? Woshould like to 800 Al Btnrno go.boforo an audionca of tax- poyers and arguc auch .a proposition, If thero wore any dend cate in tho noighborhood, they would bo flung at him as symbols of popular contempt and indignntion, “Tlio faot is that the tax-grabbors, undor tho Iaw of 180, are alarmed, Thoy soo that, If tho Innd tax i ropealod, thoro will bo no “valua- tion " under which thoy can collect tho principsl and intorest of tholr swindling bonds. *Honce theyacek tomako tho public boltove that {t would be “unconstitutional not to colleot & land tax ovon if thoro wore rovenuo enough without it,— just as Bonntor Curpentur said 1t was unconati- tutioual nof to take tho grab even it Congress- mon didn't want it. THE 8PY BANBORN, Whon Batler -failed to bully Congress into hushiug up the Sanborn swindle, tho country | lioard with amozomont that this hitherto un- known pet of the hero of Dutch Gap and Fort Fishor had beon paid some hundreds of thou- sands of dollars for helping our stending army of 60,000 civil sorvants collect the tnxes it was thoir duty to got, without outsido halp, to tho Inst cont, Tho job is being slowly unmaskod. The more it disguises are strippod off, the moro hidoous doos the reslity appear. Tho first iden was, that this man Sanborn reaily discovored taxes which the rogulr officinls had failed, through criminal carolasancss, to take 'cognizanca of. Then it was found that some of tha taxos, half of which Sanborn had recelved, woro boing rogu- larly collocted through tho propor chanuels, when Socrotary Boutwoll arbitrarily interfored #nd had thom intrusted to the protogo of hime ol ond his patron Butler. This was bad onough. *But now it seems that Sanborn had notbing whatovor to do with collecting six- sovouths of the taxes on which Lo has boon per- mitted to lovy blackmail. The wholo amount uominally got by his exertions waa $427,080, Of this, §382,810 was pald to othor peoplo. ot Sanborn was pnid half of thegrand total. Judge Davis, when, ko was United States District~ Attorney of New York, colleoted 8980 ; Secrotary Richardson, $2,202,71; Solicitor of Clayms Pros- bury, §4,889,60; Revenuo Agent C. M. Horton, $15,708.50; the Simmons, $21,104.42; G, Bliss, Jr,, Judge Davis' successor, $64,191.00; Auditor Frank M. Green, $120,122.15; and Lucian Haw- loy, Intornal Reveuue Supervisor at New York, $164,201.86. Thie last man is ono of Banborn's paolg, and is now under indictment with him for conspirncy to defraud the Govornment. Sim- mous s one ‘of Butler's happy family,— Lappy becauso thelr chomes of plunder lave beon & mighty success, Bliss is Bliss, No more mneed bo said to any man who has read the roports of official rascality in Now York during the last fow yoars, Judgo Davis is belioved to be an honorable man, Groon, Horton, and Prosbury ere unkuown. Richardson recoived, In a lottor daiod March 81, 1878, the sum of $2,202.71 from the Treasurer of the Buffalo, Erie & New York Railroad. The lottor, stated that tho smount was paid as an assessment made by the Assessor. Two weoks later, Sanborn wrote, saying that he forwarded the chock tho Treasurer sent in March. Half its faco wna at onco paid to the spy. Thero is anothor such ugly caeo which Mr. Richard- Bon would do well to .try to oxplain. The President of the Bt. Puul & Pacific Railrond romitted 98,298 to Washington. On the day olits receipt, half the amount was paid to San- born., The collection Was prosumably made by Progbury, who is stationed at 8t. Panl. Still another railrond case was that of the Delaware, Lnckewanna & Westorn Rallrond. This Com- panypays taxes ona number of leased lines, Lost yesr, different oficiala mado differ- ont cnleulations of . tho smount duo. Tuis involved somo delay. Jan. O, 1874, the Bupervisor of the Revenue notified the Company that their tax had been fixed at 890,685, This wase pnid into the Tressury at once. Jan, 8, Banhorn wrote that he had helped collect this sum[ Halfof it wasgiven him. The records of tho Tremsury fail to show that Sanborn lodged information of any unpaid taxes, save tho pittance of $11,100.37, Allowing that the in- iquitous contract wasright, we find, then, that tho spy should have recoived half of this pit- tance, or 85,564.069. Ho renlly roceived $318,- 519.75. Total steal, $207,905.06. It is small wonder that Butler tried to cover up and con- tinue a job with o much money in it, Imperia Romo wong hoadlong to destruction whon she farmed out tho revenues of her provinces, Can Republican America afford to longer farm out the rovenues of hor States? NO SIDE-ISSUES. The Woman's Temperanco Movement in Chi- cago is started in the right way, and, if it is not lured off upon side:issues, will bo productive of good. The Indy who presidod at the meeting of Thuredey prosented the only sonsible and practical mode of cerrying on the work. Bho said : Tlicro should be some capable woman or womon to lead fu tho movement, 1 not uean in & move- mout to knock iu the hieads of beer-barrels or whisky- kegu, or n o movement of force, but one of love and kindness,—a movement that would call down the blessing of God to Buppress the great ovil, Bho called upon every lady who had understanding, aud could think snd know what sha wea dolug, not to shrlnk and put upon some ono elso her owm duty, Evory ono of them owed a duly to her country, If thio timo bad come to put dowa the evil, they could do wore than ovor had been dono; aud they must think of what wes'dopending upon them, It the prayers of tho ladics that tho Common Council should not repeal the Bunday ordinance Lave been ununswered as yet, it is probably owing to the fact that the mnjority of the Coun- cll are past praying for, and some other influence muat bo brought to bear upon them in fature; and the samo remnrk applics to the Mayor. The ovil againat which the lndies aro contouding. is not to bo suppreseed in a day. It is an old-time wrong which has boon intrenoled in the world avtraince Noah's famous or infamous debauch inbis vinoyard; and a diy, or & month, or a yoar may not witness any serious brasohes in fta walls, * They should, theroforo, fl“\l‘? up thelr minds to have & long fight, not get discouraged by disappointments at the ontset, and not truat altogether to prayiug, Having doue this, thoy muat keop steadily to:their work and not allow themaelves to be .diverted from it by minor {sanes, Aliendy this danger Legine to thronten the movement, It has shown itaelf fizat in the time whioh has boon wasted in’ the Edwards-Buokloy dlawonslon, This, howeves, hss now reached & phase whare thoy can safoly nfford to leave it. ‘Thoy have indorsed Capt. Buckloy for hia conr- tony and offorta to protet thom with tho small forcd at his command, and they love indorsed Mr, Arthur Edwards in his complaint against Capt. Buckley for not doing it. As thoro was no roagon why Mr, Edwards should have beon at the Council Ohsmbor at ntl, the Indics can now enfely lenvo him and tho Oaptain to scttlo thoir differ- onces botwoen thomeolves, and, whon they have 8ot thom gotiled, take Mr, Edwards at his word, and sond for him whenover they want any kind- llng-wood split. This {8 ono slde-trnok upon which they should lack up the switch, Anothor is the mince-pio business, Thore nre #ome traditions which are snored and which havo boon handed down by many mothors in Iurnel, aud nmong them is onoe to the offeot that mince- plo and clder must go togethor. Any one who knows anything abont mince-pie knowa it i1 good for nothing without older, aud tunt tho layers ot ples Inid pway on tho collar-shelves at Thanks- glving timo won't koop without cider or brandy, and, If thoy would keep, wouldu't bo any moro it for cating than o stove-covor. If tho Indies are golng into a mince-plo crusado, they will raiso such & storm of indignation from plc-oaters that the cause will bo imporiled. The universal Now Eugland nation would ho up 10 arms in de- fonso of pie. It is bettor, theréfore, to let the minco-pies alone, Another side-issue which threatons to imporil- the cause Is tho ngitation of the abolition of to- bacco. Hore again the ladies are treading on dangerous ground. Tho momont they abolish tobucao, or throaton to'interfors with it, tho men may combino to make an onslaught on the ten~ pot, tho cologne-bottle, the camphor-bottle, and othor soothing and stimulating compounds used by the majority of ladics, and so tho movement will be distracted by another side-dusue. As many of tho olorgy smoke sud manyof the dencons chor, thore is no resson why common .peoplo should not, it they choose, The ladies may therofore snfoly relegate tho question to the clorgy and the deacous, and let them sottlo it. Another proposition was made at thio union mass-meeting, to abolish tho use of wino at the Snoramont. As this could not be done without reflecting upon the character of Ohrist, and con- demning bia sotion, his oxample, and his com- mands, this proposition should nover be con- sidored. Thero aro a fow of the questions which aro 8o distantly rolated to temperance that their line- ago caunot be traced, and which stand in the way of direct, effcotive work againat King Alco- hol. It should also bo considered that tho mo- mont tho door is opon for one of theso sido- issues to como In, a whole procesaion will follow it 5 ond, in the midst of tho couflicting crowd of issuos, tho tomporance cause will be smothered. ‘What.is wanted is o concontration of effort against strong drink,—not against mince-pics, tobacco, sacramental wine, the camphor-bottle, or the cologne-bottle. This one issue nlone will requiro all thelr encrgies. SECRET HISTORY OF THE V’HELPS-DODGE CABE, The teatimony of Judge Nosh' Davie before the Ways and Means Committeo gives the pub- lio, for tho fires time, an insight into the way in which one of our most famous firms, composed af'men who have done morn for their country than the whole tribo who blackmailed them, came near boing mado our most infamous firm, Business mon should read, mark, and inwardly digost the remarkablo story, They can then deé- cide whether or not they care to run tho risk of boing treated in tho samo way themselves, The law roquires that invoices of imported goods shall contain tho,cost and all the exponses of tranaportation, The latter proviso includes, of course, tho expensos from tho place whero they wore bought to the portwhence thoy ars shipped. The invoice must be vorifiod by our Consul in the city where the goods are manufac- tured. Bomoof tho invoicos of the shoet-tin ‘| imported by Phelps, Dodge & Co. were verified by our Consul at Liverpool (in violation of law, since no tin is manufaotured in that city), and did not contain the cost of transpartation from the placo of manufacturo to Liverpool. The exror, on somo millions of dollars’ worth of im- ports, involved a loss to tho Government of 8600. It was discovered through s clerk who had been discharged from the firm's employ, At the roquest of tho Custom-House authorities, Judge Davis, who wag then United States Dis- triot-Attorney of New Yorl, oxaminod the state- mont luid bofore him by Jayne, aud gave his opinion thet the case ought to be examined. Jayne then took the booka and papers of tho firm. Doc. 80, 1872, Georgo Bliss, Jr., was so- crotly sworn in as Davis' successor. On the same day, Davis, ignorant that bio was renlly out of offico, was asked to attend & consultation at the Astor House between Jayne and the Phelps- Dodge counsel. The Iatter offered to pay $160,- 000 for.e sottlomont in full. This was declined. Jayno then stated that the articles nctually affecbod by the error in the invoices wore worth £260,000. On the evening of Deo, 80, the firm agroed to pay this amount. Thoy had previously appealed to Boutwoll to save them from being blackmsiled, and bad received from that snpiont statesman the roply that he would do nothing for thern, because he rogarded tho iutercsts of tho Government and sn importer as dircotly sntagonistio, and -thought each ought to try to get all that was possible out of tho other! An appeal to Graut got mno rosponse. To bo sure, 1t had been urged in favor of his ro- eloction that tho financial interosts of tho coun- try domanded it, and ‘Pholps, Dodgo & Co. had coutributed $20,000 to got him ro-clected, but le was gafe for four yoars moro, and the dupes must tale cave of thumselves, 8o thoy yielded perforca. Thoy could not fight Jonger, ‘Their namo was, under & cloud. Thor trade was crippled. Lven in far-off Blngapore, the charges against thom had gained credenco, On tho morning of Deo. 81, Judge Davis, still ignorant that Bliss had stolon into his placo, met tho Iatter, told bim ho was about to close up the Phelpa-Dodgo caso that morning, and offercd him half the foes, inasmuch as lus offiolal term would beglu the next day. Bliss, moved by this gonerosity, blurted out tho in- formation that Davis had boen duped. *I was tald last night whot took place at the Astor Houso,” said ho, *and I was at the Oollector's houso 1l o late hour, and I know it s not to bo softled to-duy.” So thore had beon & scorot moeting of the rogues to soo whethor they could not glvo tho sorow another turn and squeoze moro blackmall out of their victims, Davis went to the Custom-Ilouso and found thore’ the Colleotor, Burveyor, Naval ORlcer, and Jayne, The buzzards Lad gathered over thelr proy. Thoy questioned Davis about the law in tho case, aud ho answered them, tak- ,ing care to atato at the outact that ko would now accepb no feea in the matterin any evont, Ho told them no jury; unloas ‘espeoially advised by & Judge, would give them & verdict, Ile after wards advised Mr., Dodge to fight tho enso to the end. Tho cost of conteat wns too Lionvy, how- ovor, 1t was cheapor to submit o boiug swine dlod. Tho firm pald 271,000 ns 'a penalty for tholr English nagont's Ignoranco of o tochnieality in our complox rovenuo laws,—tn ignoranco that had cost tho Govornment rosponslble for tho comploxity about 000, A fow days ago, Mr, Dodge, whoen lo tontifled boforo the Waya and Moans Commit- too, nimoat lost control of himsel¢ ns ho told bow » roputation gained by half n contury's Thonat work ind boon draggod through the miro by Jayno and his gang. This spectaclo of an old man orying over tho frromedinblo wrong bis Governmont has done him is not ono to bo proud of. Nor is tho spoctacle of tho Tronsury dividing the swag with the blackmatlers & pleasant one, Phelps, Dodge & Co. are a shrowd firm, but thoy can scarcely consider thelr invest- merit of §20,000 in Grant's ra-lection, for the enko of protecting the country's commoreial in- torosts, & paying spooulation, e, The temporance movemont plays s curious part in Now England politics, The Administra. tion organs aro all playing ono tuno, to tho offeot that in the recont Now Hampshire olection the Prohibition ticket was manufactured and en- couraged by agentsof tho Domocratio party for the purposo of . drawing off Ropublican voters, Ou tho other hand, Dr. Blackmor, who was the Prohibition candidate for Governor i that Stato, in ono of his spocchos stated that thoy would compromise with no party, and that any coalition mado must bo made by others coming over to | thom. With regard to the present law, he was confidont that the Domocrats, it thoy got into powor, would not dara Lo repeal it, wherens tho Topublicans do not dare to enforco it. In Con- nacticut again, the Hopublicans bavo boon sock- ing to handlo tho tomporance vote in obodionco to orders from Washington for the Pro- bibitionists to unito with “the Republicans in eleoting Sonators and- Reprosontatives. The effort, howover, has mot with no auccess, the Hon, Henry D, Bmith, the Pronibition candi- date for Governor, rofusing to bhave anything to do with it. At tho Tomporanco State Senatortal Convention, held at Willimantic on the 1ath inst.,, the sontiment of thoe sponkers was that thoy had no Liargains or trades to malke with any othor political organization; and those who ex- peoted nuytuing in that line would be disap- pointed. It apponrs, therefors, that tho Administration has made o bad elip fn trying to coox tho Prohibitionists over into the Ropub- lican camp, and that tho Republican organs aro trying to covor up the mistake and account for tho dofoat by charging the Democrats with croating ® thira party and dividing the Repnb- lican strength. .

Thot Invitation to the Trooklyn Oounoil, [ The Union Park Church Wil Not 8szd Delegates, ‘It Decidedly Objects to the Way the Council Is Called. Tull Statement of the Views of . Pastor and Pcople. *The Firat Church Will Send. Plymouth Church Refuses fo Rocognize the Council. An adjourned mooting of thoe Socloty of the Unton Park Congrogational Oburch was held last evening in the Sunday-scnool room of the churoh, to take action in reforence to the invita- tion of tho two Brooklyn churches to sond dalo- ratos to tho Council, which is called to meet on the 24th inst., to adjudicate upon tho diffor- onces between Heory Ward Boecher's church (Plymonth) and the Church of tha Pllgrims and Clinton Avenno Obrurch, As tho questions in- volved in the mccoptanco or rejection of the in- vitation were of peculiar intorest to Congroga~ tionausts, and, as tho other three invited churches had alrendy taken action thereon,—tho Tirst sud New England Churches voting to no- cept, and Plymouth to declino,—the attondance of mombors was quite large last evening. TOE PASTOR. Tho pastor, the Rev. 0. D. Helmer, pronidod, and in opening the meeting stated that Insl Wodnosday evening tho subject of gending dalo- gtes hod boen portially discussed, bus it had eon thought best to postpone final action untit to-night. It was dosirablo that thero should bo fall expression of the views of tho Societv, and be hoped members would speak frooly aud un- roservedly. Mr. Comu eald he had at first favored sond- ing roprosentatives, as mattors of grave impor- tance were to bo decided ; but, on mature roflec- tion, the thing scemed very much mixed, and he could 800 no good to bs gained by having the Union Park Uhurch ropresented in tho Council, Thoy haa batter drop it. MR, CLARK . eaid ho folt emparrassed, and sta loss in doclding what counso was bost to pursue. thoy do- clinod to send delogates, their action miyht Lo rogarded as a hasty and promaturodacision with- out & full hearing, or it might bo looked upon as discourtoous to the two churches sending the vitation. His own sympathy had boeu with tho Church of the Pilgrims and” the Olinton Avenue Ohuroh, as Piymouth Church had taken stops not in accordanco with Congragational usage ; but there wero strong objsctions to the pro- posed Council, nnd if hie had to say as to the wis- dom of sonding delogates, ho should say no; bis judgmeut was ngaiust if, and he had woriouy doubts whethor it would do more good than evil, Ho fearcd that it would .tond to divido rather than unite Qongrogationalists. 1t was dfficult o corractly defino tho proposed Coune cil, a8 it wns not mutual, nor was it ox-parte as contemplated by Cuurch usage. If the ivvita- tion waro declined, tho pastor should ba ine litrlt{otnd to write a lettor stating: tho rensons ully. Another gentleman thought the Chureh would be placing itself in a delicate position by eonding dologates, as it would be committed to cortnin nbutract propositions which would come up. It it should sustain the other charches against Plymouth, that would not ba the last of it. His mind had chaoged sinco the lus: meot- ing, and ko was now opposcd to sonding dolo- gatas, 5 3R, JENKING 8aid that the proposed Council could not throw Plymouth Church out of the Congrogational Dbody, and he did not sce what offact it could have, whatover its docisions might bo. It was to decide whothor tho churches shonld follow- ship with Plymouth, but euch decision would bave no weight. There was no sound basis for such & Oouncil. No good, could come of it, and the Chuich might get into difficulty by going intoit. Tho better plan was to stay ont, aud bae freo to act an the Church saw fit. - Ho moved thot tho Union Park Church docline the invitation, aud that the, pastor ba instructed to write & letter giving tha roasons for the action. MR. GILDERT said ho well undorstoad the motives of the twe Brooklyn churches in calling the Couneil. 10 hed talren gortain messures to oxpostulite witl Plymouth, but whother they bad taken tho right messures was tho question to bo decided by the Uouncil, Dr. Btorrs and Dr. Buddington had no desiro to go forward blindly, but they wishied to securo o recognition of the principle that Congregationalism was not Indepeudency, “ Wo don't beliove it is,” said the speaker. In Enfl{;lnnd it was, but they wero geiting over it, and wero favoring tho plan of Councils. Thesd . two men (Drs. Storrs_and Buddington) wished to know if they wera doing right in an important matter alfeting church pohity, They asted, tor advice, and should have it. " This Council wasg Juat ag likely to act with wisdom as though it wworo mado up of dologatos from evory chureh in tho country. It was moroly an advisory Council, in any caso, DFEACON OABE thought it was unfortunate that this queation of indepondence should bo discussed now. Thoy woro getting ulong well, and it was o bad timo t0 raiso tho question. 'Thero was no need of it at this timo. Whatever tho reault of its delib- eratiuns, the Council was ex-parie, called by one ‘party. 1t was not mutnal, and he did ot want to bave suything to do with it. The two churches not only asked advice ss to tho pro- prioty of their own course, but thov ulso asked the Counoil to sit in judgment upon the sction of Plymouth Church, This was & serious quos- tion to be gucidud if Plymouth Oburch was not raprosonted. a gontloman inquired if Plymouth Churclr had not beon invited to join in a mutual Council. e M. UELMER .replied that thoy bad beon #o invited, but had Tithior deolined noF accopted, ns thoy desired 1o imposo cortain conditions. The pastor pracoaded to sy that up to this time ho had taken little part in tho discussion, a8 he did not wish to wanu. fucture public opinion, but preforred to loave the Church free toact. Ho folt, howevor, that he ought to stato the result of his investization into the subject, which had occupied his thoughts ovor snde recolving tho lot.er. Tha Clureh should not consult simply its own con- vouience. As a rule, when a Couneil was called the Church should be represented ; but it waa oqually important that it should not take a posi« tion which would ombarrasa iv'in the futmwe, It should do what was right, and leave tho rest with God. Upon first reading the circular sont by the two Drooklyn churclios, his fuolings had been _against sending any delogates from Union Park Ohurch, aud be still beld tho samo conclugion. One reuson was that the Counoil was not properly called; it was auomal- ousin characlor, but must bo classod as on ox- parte Council. It was diaunatl{lnld down that an ex-parte Council shonld not be callod unloss oue church unreasouably refused to join iu call- ing o mutual Council. "Plymouth Church lad deolared that it was roady for such a Council. Sud the spoaker: “I don't like tho way this Council fs called, Wo wouldn’t lko it oursclves. Plymouth Church stands resay for a mutual Couneil, on condition tht the proe coodings aud conolusions shall be based upon tho Now Testamont, 'Thys 18 Congregational- lam, aud has boon from Scruby Mauor until to- day. It should wot be changed. —Piymouth Church is offended ab tho proposed dopaituro from establishad usuagoes, aud wo should not go beyoud it. ‘The progress of the procedure up to thfs timo doos uot show that the other ohurches bave tried to' harmonize tho difticulties, Itiwsa rocodure _unususl, and lkely to be ine fmlnun.

I am jonlous of sucl encroachmonts upon the rights of an individual body, If it is once known that two churches can oall an” ex-parte Council to sil in judgmont upon o slator ohurch in tho same oity, “wo sbuall have our hanas full of thag kiud of thing; we should be liable to got into the samn dufioully hare in Ohicago, In roply to this invitation, we stould say ‘that wo do not see our way cloar to its accoptanco, end givo our romvons nud our soruples, No matter what action the othor Ohloago “churches take aa to reprosontation, Ona ohuroh has alrendy deolined ;_tho Now Euge land Churoh has appoluted a doleration, but its Paatorlanot golug, 1o Beptomber noxt the LT
