Dr, Storrs described the situation in motaphorical lungunge, conveying the idea that Plymouth Chureh hud bowmbs, hand-gronades, and othier explosive ma- torial within its borders, and porsisted in dis- charging thom gt intervals, so thot its follow- chiurches must for thelr own safely iusiat that tho walls between them be strengthened, or clso that the dangerous contents of its cellars bo given up. ————— The good poople of Jancsville, Wis., bave been Lioldiug a convention to romonstzato against the constiuction of a canal across the Stare of Illnols from Hennepin, on the Tilinois River, to Raok Island, on the iississippt Rivor. Tho rea- son given for this remonstranco is, that, to sup- ply such canal with water, will necessilate the coustiuction of a foeder from Rock River, noar Dixon, to tho main canal. Janesville 18 on Rack River, and some 75 miles above Dixon. Rock Dlivor Is itaolf & succession of fulls and rapida, with occasional smooth placos and deep wator. Janesvillo insists that tho State of Illinois has no right to uso tho water of Rock River for any suck purpose, and by resolution urges tho whole Wisconsin delogation in Congross to dofoat any Government aid to tho canal. It will strile the ordinary reador as somethiug strange that tap- ping Rock River 76 miles down stream can mn any way offect tho water rights and privileges of Janesville, although it may disturb those of Sterling, which lies below the proposed feeder, — Tho city anthorities of Boston have fnvited the Hon. Carl Bchwiz to deliver an oration upon Clarles Sumner in Fanewl Hall, and Mr. Bchurz bas accepted tho invitation, Thisis an unusual compliment to Mr. Schur, as it might have been expeeted that the Boston authorities would have seclected some life-long friend, and ona who had stood in enrlier relations to the decensed stntesman, Thoy could not, however. have eolected one more competent for tho duty. Like Mr. Sumner, be is both a statesmau and a coholar, and like him, n finisbed orator. Ho has stood side by side with him sluce the Civil War, aud has lubored with him to allay the possions which were sroused by that strifo.

The wholo businoss, which is, porhaps, the greatest reproach ever cast upon the admin- istration of the Natioual Trossury, Is the contri- bution of Blassachusetts to our flecui history. Niuety per cent of the taxes collected by Sanborn in Maseachusotts, Bimmons says, could not have beon secured by the regular ofilcors of the In- nal Rovouuo.

Homy Wad Boeoher, and ealled by tho Rov. Dis. Btorrs and Buding- ton that they may be instruoted as to tho proper courge for thum to pursue iu the promisos, has alroady developed an intorest which has becomo national {nstond of denominationsl. Thorois o prineipls underlylng tho doliberations of this Council which affccts not only the Congrega- tionnlista but indireetly nll other dorominations and the general publio as well, It is not simply tho technlcal question of church polity whethor & member of a Congregational. church can bo droppod out of its membership without & formal act of expulsion, but wheher a chargo of im- morality can bo compromised with or passod over in silence, The real origin of this Council lies in certain chinrges mado againat Mr. Baechor by Mr, Tilion or Mr, Bowen, or both. Those chargos, If true, unfit Mr. Beechor for his high position asa teacher of morality and religion, stamp him naa hypoerite and a dangorous character, and are caloutated to injuro thodenomination with which liois identified. When these charges veachea thio oars of Mr, Beocher, ho did not deny thoir truth and courl au investigation of them, but ho spioad a broad mantle of chority over his tra- ducers, and for tho time studiously ignored tho charizes, When, Lowever, thoy becamo matters of publie notoriety and were sproad over the countiy by the nowspapors, and there camo a do- mand tor investigation, thon did Ar. Boccher did deny thom, but refused to take any further action, or to allow-any to bo taken. In polut of fact, he snubbod uis Congregational neigh- bors, Drs. Storrs and Budington, who bad moved to bhave tho matter cloared up, and public opinion on the whole sided with Mr. Beechor, as it always sldes with ono who minds Lis own busincss againatone who doosnot. Ar. Beecher still furthor strongthened lns position by forming o tipartito treaty with Mesars, Bowen aud Tilton, Lath offonsive aud defensive, Ly which thoir mouths wore closed and the seal of secrecy placed upon the whols affarr, NMeun- while, Drs. Stoirs and Budington continued to romonstrate with Mr. Beccaer and his ‘congroga~ tion upon thelr course; but romonstrance was ofno avail. Under the shield of the tripartito tranty, 3Ir. Beechor could rofuse to rocognize any proposition for an investigation, and plant bim- self npon the bigh eround that if he, the injured party, could afford to forgive Boweu and Tilton, nobody olso need feel agerioved. In the menn- time, Mr, Tilton dropped dut of the membership of Plymouth Church upon his own motion in the faco of chargos of flander, and Mr. Beeclior and the church esuctioned this summary proceeding, 08 in accordance with the ussges of tho denomi- natios, and in this position ho haa received the effective support of his hrother, tho Bev. Ed- ward Beechior. The question whether a momber can thus vol- untarily drup out, or be droppod out, has given Dra. Btorrs and Budington tho opportunity to call tho Council for advice in the promises, but tho evident motive is the desire for an investi- gation of the charges made by Bowen and Til- ton agnmst Mr. Beccher. This is tho main question pending. TLooking at the character of Dre, Storrs and Budington, we aro bound to conclude that they think something important to the cause of Christianity hea boen concealod, and, if 8o, Mr. Boecher can no longor afford to resist invostigation on the mere ground that some harm will coma thoreby to Bowen and Til- ton. His mantle of charity is ngt large onough to cover the slanderersnow, even if it was beforo. It i impossible to read the deliborations of this Counel, eapecinlly tho argument of Dr. Storrs mado on Wednosday, without being struck with the honesty and earnestnoss of theso men, and with tho truth of their assurances that they are not asgombled to persecate Ar. Bsecher or to turn the Council into an inquisition, but to pro- teot thomsolvos and their churchee from tho eoffect of notorious scaudalo, These scandals have created o neighborhood nuisance, ngainst which they bavo & right to protest in o formal manner. Whilo our sympathies have beon with Mr, Beeoher ajl dlong, they have boen so on the presumption that an investigation would do him no barm, Thatis our present beliet; but we do eay that to longer resst an investigation on the ground that Bowen and Tilton would be harmed by it, will briug 10proch upon Congrogational- ism in the person of its most distinguishod rop- reacntative, —— THE MASSACHUSETTS CONTEST. Tho political croed of Massnchusotts has boen for so long o time * I belivvo in the Ropublican Pazty Almighty,” that tho Republicatt prosa Ling rogarded noy assortion that the party was not o uniled whole a8 on a par with impugning Holy Writ or denylng tho intellectual supromaoy of Boston, Butler, to bo suve, had troubled the potitical pool in o very demonisc way from time to time, but rospectability hnd succooded in con- quering him in the Stato at large, and tho party closed up its rauks and moved forward to vio- tory, Now, however, Butler has won, His pet, Bitmons, is Colloctor of Boston, aud the ranks Lave not closed thia time, Whon tho Leglala- ture was making ready to ballob for Bumner's sucoeusor, the Republicans held no caucus, bo- €ause neitaer faction was willing to be bound by ivif tho other proved to be in tho majority. Thoy woat into the fight divided into two nearly equal partles, The Butlor co- borta voted for' Dawes, who got Homo support bosldes, Tho muas of the respoctablos cast thor ballots for Ioar, The Demoorats nominated Judge Curtls, and have given him nonrly as many votes as oither Hosr or Dawes got. Thus the Opposition in Maseachusotts beold tho balanco of power, not botween two parties, but bouweon the two halves of the same party, the united, barmonlous, indlvisible Tte- publioan phalayz, The jolut bdllot showed that nofthor Dawou nor Hoar wonld ylold to the oth- or. This would, indeed, be impossible, for they ropregent utterly difforont pclitiesl principles, though thoy profoss to bolong to tho same party, The two factions eaunot unite. That ataunch Ropublican journal, the Beston Advertiser, snys s *The conflict in the Ropnblican party will go on uutil those who aro now using it corruptly aro crushied or tako pussosslon of it altogother. That moans war to tuo knite, Fooblo attompts wore mado Tucaday and Wednosday evonings to hoal the party-wounds. Tuosday evoning, Dawos' friouds apnounced & cauous, Hoar's frionds wouldn't como.

' Hoar's supportois gave notloo, on entoring, that thoy would loave forth- with If any voto was takon. Roduced to the uocessity of simply talking, both balves of this bandof brothiors improved the ocoasion. Tho Hoar reotion throw out plonsant hints about *‘minfons of the Federal Govornmont” and ‘tools of Jayne's counsel snd Sanborn's champion." The Dawos scction rotorted with Butlerian lrnrxvhnopn ogainat “Livo blood * and ‘ Boslon aristooracy.” When the vocabulary of abuso waa oxbaustod, the conterence ouded. 8trango to eay, it Liad not hoaled the wounds. Itisnbad sign whon a porly long in power cannot bo ruled by a regular canens, Tho * Na- tional Republicans™ of tha last gonoration, aftor many voars of power, aplit on thoe question of who should succeed Monron, Tho rogular Congressional caucus, callod, as tha custom thon wae, to nominate the party ceudidate ‘for Prosi- dout, fatled to bring togother a mujority of tho membors bolonging to the party. Tlio fow who mot nominated William H. Crawford, Tho split Lurt tho patty mortally. Crawford was beaton by both Adams and Jackson. Tha National Rto- pullicans died forthwith. Mossachusctts offers us a similar case, A party long 1 power, & fail- ure to moko a couous-nomination by the full strougth of the party, an frremediable saplit, Dofoat comes noxt, and then death, If the State cleats an upeight, independent man s Benator, tho honost membors of all partics will ga.ber oround him, I sho olocts n Butlor can- didate, tho dishonest cloments will gather around him. In eithor ovent, the disintegra- tion and conesquont erystallization will tako place.

The Tribune uays *'thore is no man living whaean make but the wildost guess at what the lo~ gul-tendor dollar will bo woith throe yenrs honoo,” and timt * national dishonor eannot cooxist with nutional prosperity,” The Herald exprossos tho bolief that “ pooplo must give their grain, their vattlo, thoir sorvicos for plecas of money printed over with the promise to pay doliars, which promiso thoro is nmow not the remotest possibility will ever bo kept,” and that tho party responsible for this state of things “1s uttorly immoral and zotten, aud its obliterstion is the only hope aud safety of the country.” The World 13 likewiso of tho opinion that the House of Ropresentatives has takon * another and an irropnrablo step down hill to the abyss of ropudiation,” aud saya: It disgraces even tho ignorance aud the cowardice of the Forty-third Congross ; it dishonors the United Statos.”” Tho Juening Post rofera to the fact that tho country applauded mnt'porl(on of Gon, Grant's insugu- rol address in 1869 in which he eaid that *the roturn to a specio basis must be provided for as soon as it can bo accomplished withont material dotriment to tho debtor class or to the country at largo,” and concludea that *the fleld grows clearer for a now organization, which shall have a polioy to enoct at Washington, ond not merely to resolve at Cincinuati, Baltimoro, or Philadelphin.” The Times alono, ever loyal, romaine complaisant under the dangerous move that has been made, and gives its party the rathor doubtfal cowmpliment of saying: *That any decision whatover hos been remched by oithor branch of Qongress upon any division of tho financial question ia a matter for public con- gratulation,” and the House of Roprosontatives “must therefore bo commended.” This is in- deod a sorry reason. 2Measures bave already been taken, in case tho House inflation bill shall become a law, to place the mouey ** whera it will do the most good.” ‘A good many people are after the extra eighteen or twonty millions ye: to como out, but the Dhiladelphia Centennial Ring scem to havo the ingide track. The Washington correspondent of the Pluladelphia Inguirer tolla his journal that it the Houso inflation bill can be carried through the Benato, its passago “will change tho course of a sufficiont number of Sonators to about make up the needed num- ber to carry the Centonnial bill"” Horoe is evi- dence of a trade by which tha Centennial people are to get a certain proportion of tho surplus, if they help to make o law authorizing tho new issue, Aftor the Centennial folks got thoir share—gay eight or ten millions—there will bo about ten millions to divide among the other factions. Probably the Northorn Pacific and Texas Pacific people are ot without hopea. — THE EFFECT' OF THE $20,000,000 IN- FLATION, Inhia excellent work on the Principles of Currency, Prof. Bonamy Prico gays that he Is disposed to believe' that when tho volumo of our inconvertible currency, such as our own s at present, is doubled, the monetary unit,—the dol- lar, for instance,—losos half its valuo; that is, it dopreciates &0 per cont. 1t Ia only justico to add that ho does not Iny this down catogorically. Ho says that the taw of tho depreciation of such 2 cwrenoy {8 vory Leid to dotermine; that he hasnever beon able to satisfy himself ontirely o to what it really is, Still, so far 8s he can oo, such I8 his view of tho offect of inflation. Other writors loss cautious than Mr. Price assert that such undoubtedly is the nflmt,—thlt' doublod in volume, an inconvertible ourronoy depreciates 50 por ocont ; that, quadrupled in volume, it would loso 75 por cent of jta valuo. ‘This, we think, is the view entertained by Trench cconomists gonorally.

Assuming it to bo corraot, then, and that tho ontire volumo of our onrrency is $800,000,000, it follows that an addition of $20,000,000, which is 2}¢ per cont of tho wholo nmount, doprociates the currency 234 por cont, nud tho $44,000,000 53¢ por'cont, Tlua is equivalent to a tax on evory creditor of 214 or 5% por cent on the amount due to him, for tho bonofit of his dobtors, * There are so many dobtors in tho country that we do not won- dor thoy have led influence onough to produco this result, But ths {s notall. Tho $44,000,000 sctis a tax in anothor direction, it is oquivalont {oa tax by Governmout to that amount on tho whole poople. Governmont cannot pay that sum out for nothing, It takes tho woalth of the country, consumes it, and gives nothing in oxchange but Dits of paper. Thia is the first result; the tax on creditora comes after this, isslower in ite oporation, and less perceptiblo because wlower. It will bo hard for Congress to exouse its sotion in this matter before the tribunals of tho civil- ized world. Probably thera isno destre to do so. ] BOUR MEATS IN COURT. The jnry in tho case of Frankliu MoVeagh & Co. against Thorno & Co. have given judgment for plalntiff 1 tho sum of $3,793, boing the full amount claimed. Ihis'vordict will bo nccupted’l by the publio not only a8 a righteous ono but as o timely one, for 1t is caloulated to restora con- fidenco in tho provision trade, It plainly adver~ tisos to the country that any porsons injured or wuposed upon in Obicago by tho purchase of sour moats can have justico done them by vor- dicts for the full amount of damagoes sustained. The verdiot {8 a bettor vindication of the Chicago market then all the resolutions and reports that the Pacltors’ Association could soribble in a lifo- timo. This is juatice, and square, honest doal~ ing, and without theso thero can bo no market. Tho evidenco ia this caso prosents some curi- ons facts, MoVeagh & Oo. claimed thas they pucchaged a lot of bams which were to be equal to tho bost brand in the Ohicago market. Tho hams, 91,000 pounds, wore bought at 13} conts per pound, and wore sont to Salt Lako City, whoro thoy wore roported as bad, The seller of the hams inaisted that they were sold subject to tho Board of Trade iaspoction, and that tho cortificato of tho Inspeotor let him out of responsibility. The faoct that thero was not one good bam in tho lot was established by tho testi- mony ot Mr, Raymond. Mr. Dupeo, whe smoled them for Thorne & Co., deseribod thom 28 & * miscured hom ;" many of them had been dry-salted, and had not been piclded at all, The defondant said that his mode of doing ‘business was to buy hams of tho packers and thon corothom. Tho hams wore sorted into two lots, No. 1 and No. 2. The braised or inforior hams were Iaid on ono side, and when packed woro branded “Hugh J. Brady. a fictitious brand, Ia"1872, out of 560,000 hams purchased, 8,600 unly wont into tho second lot. Tho No. 1 hams wore sold cured only, while the No. 2 were sent to Dupeo's to bo smoked. Mr. Thorno and the plaintiff differed in thelr tostimony as to the reprosentations made concorning the character of tho hama, The testimony of tho Inspector was, to say tho least, remarkable. He said ho was an inspectorof provisions, and inspocted some linms for Thorne & Co,; that he found sume bad and rejected thom, and the remainder he certi- fled to bo good. Ho admitted tho possibility of o fow mistakos, and that he did put in some bruised hams. Ho understood at the time ho was to inspect sccond-class hams, Those homs when sent to the smoking-house wore recognizod by Mr. Dupce a8 & bad lot; ho declared that * anything that was not ‘merchantablo,—that is, anything that was taint- od, sour, or bruised, or ‘stag’ hams, were not first cloas,” and these Liams wero not first clags. Healso said that rejected hams were sold at halt-price ; but sometimes, as now, they could not bo sold at all. The next atep was thelr in- epection,—tho Inspoctor certifying that they were good. Hero ia & falschood ofilcially corti~ fled. Dupee seid they were not merchantablo ; ‘Thorne suid he sent only his second class to bo smoked, and yot the Inspector, aftor picking out o few, cortiflod tho romainder to bo good. The hams wero put on the cars, and on arriving at Balt Lako City wore found to be spoiled ; there was not one good ham in the lof. Xt is immato- rinl what the reprosentations actually mado by Thorne wero ; he delivered the hams undera cortificate of the Inspoctor that they were good; that cortifioate recited what was not t1ue, and the Court snd jury bave decided thnt such a cortificate cannot relieve tho seller of his responeibility, nor doprive tho purchaser of his remedy. In plain English, this case has dotermined that the cortificato of an inspector of provisions in Chicago 18 not of the slightest legul valus one way or tho other as evidonce of tho quality of the moat inspacted. Now, ia it not time for the Board of Trade to overhaul this nyatem of inspoction, and to place it on an honest footing? In tho moantime, all persons who liave * sufferod " from the delivery of sour moats in Chicago when good meats wero purchiased, huve only to present their cluims, prove their damages, and got their monoy, THE GERMAN LEGISLATURE, The Emporor of Germany s at loggerhends with hia Logislature, The cablo has announcod the two dofeats of tho Military bill in the Rofoh- stag.
