QMr. Greon also stated that the taxos ho collected . wore mnot on. tho books of tho Intornal Revenuo-Colloctor. This statomont is proven oqually falso with tho others, Toorown his othor fosts of mondacity, whon the first disclosures of Sanborn’s con- tracts woro mnde, this Green agsured Mr. King that there was no truth io his revelations, and that thero wero no such contracts.

By a meoting Baturdsy vight the road was informed that it would bn gwven till Thuraday to sottle. If 1t fails to como to time, active measures ore threatened. THE RESULT OF THE CONGREGATIONAL CQUNCIL, . Tho Advisory Congrogational Council has at lnst pronounced its decision in the Plymouth Chureh mattor, which was calod to its attentton by the Rov. Drs. Storrs and Budington. Tho decision roviews the whologround carofully and considoratoly, and tho Committoo, whilo they bovo oxprossed themselves in a vory tomperate and dignified munner, aud have given Plymouth of the Counoll, howevor, Plymouth Ohurch hns modified thom by abandotiing its indepondont position and admitting the Congrogational prine ciples of disalpline, and, although the lator doo- larations apponr inconsistent with the action of Plymouth Church in Docombor, ju which it de- clnred *itaolt responniblo to 1o other chutelt and no olher church to it, still, in viow of tho Inter utterancos, tho churchos are advised to maintain tho relation of followship ns beretoforo, Couplod with this advico, howover, comos the signifioant suggostion: “In tho lope that Plymouth Chwirch may satigfy theso churchos of its sc- coptance of thoe principles it hns boou supposod to dieavow.” 8. The Committoo oxpross tholropinion of M. Theodore Tilton's exodus in no ambiguous mans nor. Thoy say: * Whon a regular complaint {s mado against such n momber that in some othier respoct he violates tho lawof Ohrist, sndl espeolal- 1y when tho complaint Is that ho hus ciroulated and promoted scondals dorogatory to the Chrls- tian intogrity of the pastor aud injurious to the reputation of the church, the considoration that lohas long ngo forsaken the churchis only an apgravation of his alleged *fault.” This monug that Mr. Tilton is, to all intonts and pur- poses, o mombes of Plymouth Chureb, and that ho enunot bo got rid of till the charge is investl- gated, ‘Whilo tho decision {8 & condemnation of tho provious action of Plymouth Church, aud o solomn warning not to ropoat suchaction, it does uot roliove that church from the duty of purg- ing itwelf of tho scandals which have grown up within it ; ond it nuthorizes the two nolghboring churches to domand: an investigation, and, fail- ing to get it, justifios them in withdrawing fel- lowship. —n * END OF THE TOWN BOARDS, If Mr. Rountreo, as & logislator, nover ron- dored nny othor Rervico to tho public (a8 wo be- liove bio has not), Lo dosorves the thanks of the peoplo for practically stamping out of existonco tho lognlizod monstrositics kuown ay tho *'Lown Boards " of Chicago. Weo have horetofore ex- plained what thess * Town Boards"” aro. They conslst of a Suporvisor, Town Clerk, and ive Justicos of the.Peaco for ench of the threo “towns” - into which tho City of Chicago s theoratically divided. The other “town’ ofli- cors are on Assessor and a Oollector. The Buporvisor calls & ‘*town meoting” in the carly part of April, at which it 18 ordered that & certain sum of ‘money bo raised by taxation for *town" purposes. 'Lhis meoting conslsts genorally of twenty or thirty poreons, Tho town purposes for which tho tax is lovied aro tho salaries of town oflicers, After voting tho tax, the town moeting then proceods to elock tho town officers for the ensuing year. Tho affairs of tho town aro administored by tho Town Board. By a provision of tho law, should any of tho Justices bo absont at o meot- ing of tho Board, tho Assessor or Colleotor may tako tho place of the absonteo. At tho town moeetivg bheld in South OChicago in April, 1873, o tax of $25,000 was ordored ; ot o meeting of the Town Board held o fow days ago, moro than this sum was voted ns tho salaries of the Col- lector, Assossor, Suporvisor, sud Town Clerlk, as shown by the oflicial records, s transdript of which wo print oclsewhore this morning. This division of the plunder had the of- fect of calling out s candidates for thess oflicos scores of subtorrancan patriots, all intont ou handliug 0 public muney. Thoro ofticors Lavo no dutios §avo nominnl ones, The Colleotor muy or may not colloct some taxes, but all the worls o doos can bo 83 woll dono by the County Collector. The whole machinery of the town meoting and the Town Board was a fraud, and & useless appendage to tho system of loca’ goverument. i Just nt this juocture Mr. Ronntree's bifl comes in foreo, aud takes the stesl out of this wholo business,—or at loast transfors it to a higher responsibility. It provides that, in towns lying wholly within the limits of incorporated citios, all moneys nocessary to be raised for Church the benefit of overy doubt, lave at tho samo time left no room to doubt thoir approval of tho courso of tho two Now York churclies, aud their condemnation of tho position mainteined by Plymouth Chureh, A careful annlysisof this dooument will develop threo lending polnts, which in renlity include all the minor dotaila : 1, Tho Committeo indorse tho action of the two New York churchies in calling this Advisory Council. Tho lotter of rcmonstranco and ad- monition which they seut to Plymouth Church lost full, they aflirm, was called for. *1n this [ nct,” oy tho Committoo, * they reprosented tho intercsts of the fratornity of Con- gregational churchos, whoso principles of discipline oud whoso fair Oristisn famo were endangored by the courso which Plymouth Nobody excopt Senator Oglesby showed much enthusiasm for tho payment of tho claime, and the bill was lett to take its turn on the ealendar, — ¥ In the stroet gossip which wo give elsowhoro concerning the stocklioldors’ meoting of the Marine Company to bo held this morning, wo have followed strictly the statements ny they wore mado to our reporter., That of Mr. John Wentworth ia so charnctor- stic that it will bo readily recognized ss his own, Our purposo has been to give plaluly the opinions of those intorested, and it is to be hoped that to-day’s meoting will clear up tho clouds that bonug over the institution, and leuve tho Company in & condition satisfactory to, Ita friends and unobjectionable to tho business publie. ———— In their visit to the County Poor-House, on #aturday, tho Grand Jury found the shameful abuses roported somo time ago by T'ug Truuxg tobo inno sy amelioratad. Tho unfartunate Inmates have but two meals a day ; no ‘vogeta- ‘bles are givon thom but turnips ; thely ton Jooks like tho sweopings of a grocery floor 3 their soup is mado of moat from which nll the strongth has beon proviously oxtracted, Bucha bill of fare, oven for paupors, the Grand Jury very Justly characterizo a8 disgracoful, The great Qity of : Chicugo ought to trent its Lielpless poor at least aa well as its oriminals, and both as if they woro human beinga, The Ohicago produce markets were stendlor ivestorday, with lova trading, and an casior fool- ‘ng in most dopactmonts, Mess pork was In fair demand, and o por brllowr, clostug at §14,073¢ @11.00 cash, and $16.25@16.27%¢ eollor May, Lard was dull and unchanged, at 9350 cash, aud $2.2724@0.80 por 100 Ibs meller May, Moata were quiot, and 100 per 100 1bs lower, ot £5.05@ 6.70 for shoulders; £8,15 for short riby; 38,40@ 8.45 for short cloar, and 0}§@1030 por Ib for sweot plokled hama, Highwines wero eqitet and unchanged at 03¢ por gallon, Flour was quiet and steady. Whoat was loss sotive and o shado higher, oloslng at $1.103{ cash, and $1,20 sollor April. Corn was Church seomed tobo pursuing. For this moral horoism thoy dosorve thouks, oven should orrors of judgment ho traceable in some of tho dotails of their procedure.” In regard to the relations botween theso churches and Piymouth Olurch, the Committeo go & step further. They oxprosw tho Lopo, which hope itsclt is conched in such «languago that it Los all tho forco of » command, that the proceodings which gave riso to this Council will not bo & precodont for tho guidaucs of Plymouth Church, If such pracoodings were repeated, tley would in- volvo o disregard of tho flrst principles of Congreyationalism, which would require the strongost possiblo protest. Coupled with tho othor statement, that overy moember {8 respons siblo to the church for his conformity to the Iaw of Chriat, and that tho church is responsible for him, aud that this respousibility doos not. censo ¢l tho clrch, by some formal und incorporate nct, lias declared thoe dissolution of thecovenant, tho logieal inforence is that the two neighboring churches may domand that Plymouth Church shull investigate tho charge of slandor which has been mado agninet Mr. ‘Tilton, and require tho church cithor to prove or disprove it They msy demand that if it s proved hesball bo excommunieated, and, if it is dis- proved, that lio shall bo restored to momborehip, orbo given o lettor to somo other church, In this connection, the law of the caso is distinctly stated by the Committoo: “I'his covenant may bo broken by the member, He may offond, and when duly admonished may give no satisfactory evidenco of ropentance. In that caro, be s cut off from communion ; the church, having glven its tostlmony, iu no longer responsible for him; and ho cau bo reatored only by the roemoval of tho censuro. Voluntary absence of a rosldent momber from the communion of & church aud from its publio worehip - does not dluxolve tho .| covonant, but s u reasonable ground of aumoni- tion, and, if peralsted in, of fnal consure,” 9. "he origiual notton of Plymouth Olurch I oondemued, Tho Committes say that tho notion of the chureh, us set forth fu tho doourents pro- sented In Docembor last, it thoy had not boon modified, would have justifiod the other chtrohos otivo, and ${@J4o lower, olosing at 61360 seller | in withdrawlug fellowalip. | Blnce the mestivg town purposes sball be mscertninea by the Counly Board. This abolishes por- emptorily the voting of taxes by tho sununl town meeting. It leaves to tho County Bonrd the fixiug of the amount of tax tobe collected and the purposo for which it is to be collected, To do this, thoy will havo to fix tho salarica of those officors, and, as may bo oxpact- ed, will fix thom with reforence to the sorvico porformed. As there will be no occasion for any further meetinge of the Town Boavd, the offices of Supervisor aud Town Clotk will bo amply compensated by an sllowsnco of $i0 each por yeur. 'Tho Assessor and Collector can be liber- ally paid with 81,600 a yoar onch, and thus tho impudent fraud be practically sbolished. This Inw will deprive tho town elections of noxt woek of muoh of their intorest; tho power to voto away public money is ubolished, and the ofilces to bo filled muy be practically abolished by re- duclng the salaries to o nominal sum. 2 BOLTING, . Among tho editorials supplied the rural press by the Republiceu Executive Committeo during 1ho lnst campaign, was one which sot forth tho crime and gin ot bolting. Tho man at Washing- ton who played this tune on all the small organs could searcely find words to expross his horror of the backeliders. ‘ Ronogado™ was a pob name for thom, * Borchesd ¥ was ono of the clogunt terms in constant uso, Abuso aud ndienle woro lavishod upou them. Curiously cnough, tho mon who, woro ougaged in this vilification wero, almost without exception, bolters themsoclves. As the Republican party bad no roal existenco prior to the campaigu of 1806, oll its prosent members who reachod years of diserotion bofore thot time must have boltod from tholr provious party to joln It. Of noces- sity, it was composed of persons who hud bolted from Gthor partios. Why, if it is llowable to Dolt ouos, Iu it sinful to bolk twice ? It wokindly allow, Lowover, that tho carcor of overy Republican was stainless up to the duto of his joinlug that party, what shall we say of the eareor of somo of them sinoo? Unloss cor- ruption is purt of tho ereed professed by thoso now in powor, Simon Cameron must have bolted from the path of fealty when the House of Rep- rosontatives considerod it nocessary to consuro him for corruption. If the Republicau party does natbuliove in payiug tho bonda in groon- broks, Morton bolted when Lo advocated such & courtio. If it belioves, as ib hus solomuly said it docs, in Clvil-Sorvice Reform, u great numbor of its representativos in Congress have followed Butlor in o poralstont bolt, If it dld not lo when it pronounced itaolf to bo,in favor of the abolltion of frauking, another groat number of thosorepresontatlves havo followed tho same lead in anothor bolt from party priuciplos, The Tepublican plattorm calls for & reswmption of spoolo pnymonts, aud the following Ropublican Houators have deliberatoly bolted by voting down & meksurg looking towards such resump. tion: Allison, Boreman, Boutwell, Buokings ham, Carpontor, Conover, Ferry, of Miolgan, Tlanngan, Joues, Horvoy, Hiteheook, Howe, Ingalls, Lowls, Logan, Mitololl, Morton, Ogloshy. Dattorson, Ponso, Pratt, Ramsoy, Robortaon, Boott, Shorman, Bponcer, Bpragio, ‘Wost, and Windom. Thls is s bolv of 20 out of 49 Republican Bonators. Nor is this tho end. Tho Iouso of Ropresentntivos, dospite its Ie- publican majority of over two-thirds, has out looso from party principles by voting for n frosh lof of shinplosters, Ho, too, unlesa tho Ropublican party is {n favor of salary-grabbing, ia roprogontativos m both the Ilouse aad tho Sonato bolted whon thoy passod the Inorcaso-of- Salary low. ‘Tho pyramid of bolters culninates, then, in the man whom Republicans mado Prosl~ dont, who signed that Salary Iaw, and who has avowad his intention to sign o law for inflation, if Congross Iays it boforo him. Aftorall theso bolters, with thoir followers, have been sub- traclod from tho party, there s littlo loft. Horo is nn organization, the actsof which aro in the shorpost of contrasts with its - prom- loog. . Vory fow of its londors pay tho slightest attention to tho platform on which thoy aro supposed to atand. Such o parody of o parly was nover seen, Without o single living prin- ciple, bound together only by hobit and tho power to shiaro spofls, it must porforco yiold to on’ united Opposition, It may conlesco in tho country, asit lasin Congross, With tho worst clements of tho dying Demooracy, but the conli- tion will not eaveit. Tho firm of B.F. Dutfor and Fornando Wood will fail s surely ns either pactuorin i would alono. +Tho old Republican londors hiave bolted from the party, and now the party will bolt from thom, A OAMPAIGN IN HAWAIL, Lato foroign mails bring full dotails of tho re- cont clection of & King in Hawail. Thero wero two candidates, David Kalaknua and Quoon: Emma, Tho eleotioncoring davices were of a kind unknown to tho outside world. Tho circu- lors began with pious invocations to God, and wont on with dotailed statemonts of the falso- hioods told by tho other side. , Hawaiian lhumor sooms poouliar.

Her nccession monus reciprocity of 4rado at loast, and|perhaps annoxation, Tho Na- tivo party, howover, carriod tho day. Tho Assom- Dbly voted, 89 to 6, for David Kalakaua, A commit- too of threo was appointed to notify him of tho lonor, Thoy foll into the hands of the Puillg- tines at tho doorway. Emma's sdhorents drove thom back, smashod tho waiting carriago into splinters, and rushed into tho Assombly ball. With chieors for the Qucen, they tore tho books and broke the furniture to piecos, battered in doors and smashed in windows, and, in o word, dostroyod overything that was within thoir | ronch. Tho Assembly and & number of Hawalian dignitaries had barred them- selves in, mennwhile, in an uppor room. Tho mob attacked this next, and had just brokon down the door, whon o dotachment of Amorican and English marines, whom tho now King hind hastily summoned, dashed in upon thom and drove them out of the building. Queen Emma hod daclined gfo try to curb-her | adhorents, Kalakaua was King, shio said ; lot him koop order himself. W'his mob, when drivon out of tho Court-House, rap to her dwolling and yoll- ed their thonks, Thoy wore chaged, snd many of them woro caught. Thoy are to be tried in April. Rumor ssys that tho now Kiug will punish them rigorously, The election hos had certain important results. To provent anothor riot, King Kalakaua Las appointed his Dbrother, William Pitt Lololohoku, as bis suc- cossor. o bhas eignified his resolve to reject under all circumstances any proposition for sub- Jecting bis kingdom,+in wholo or part, to forsign domination, Ho hos taken stepa to severthe coonection betyeen Churchand State, which hus proved so baleful to both. An American living in Howaii writes of thoe missionarics thero: Utterly caveless of religious mattors oxcept a8 to forms, their time has beon dovoted to money-gotting, and to monoy-gotting ouly; not ono hae failed to make o fortune, and thoy comprieo to-day the wealthiest aud most uu- scrupulous body of men on the islands,” This moy be an overdrawn picture, but the usual fucta of clerical domination in somo monsure Justifios it.

UAPITAL PUNISHMENT. “Tho agitation iu favor of the abolition of the death-poualty was bogan by tho French philos- ophors of the cighteonth contury,—now over s handred years ago,—yot it may be confidently as- sorted that,in tho whole Listory of thecontroveray, not o single valid argument haa been advanced againat tho sbatract justice of the punishment, ‘Becearla, inapired by thie Encyclopedists, was the firab to nttack ic with the engines of his logio. He argucad that tho State Lad its origin in con- tract ; thet it possessed no powors over tho in- dividual oxcept such as the individual had parted “with by sgreoment; that life was an jualienable right; that tho control of the indlvidual over it did not oxtend to dopriving himself of it; that ho could not dele~ guto to the Btate what he himself did not pos- goes 3 that, thoroforo, tho Btato hiad not over its subjects, in any instance, the right of lifo and death, not oven ng & punishment for crime. In- stend of the death-ponalty he recommendod im- prisonmont for life at hard labor, To deprive & mau of liborty and turn him into a benst of bur- don, ho coneidered, was sufiicient to punish the orimingl and detor others from tho grosser viola- tions of law. Tho theory of the social con- tract fs now recelved by no one, and with it, of coursie, [alls Bocearin’s argument, Fichto, tho German philosophier, would abolish the punish- ment; for tho roason that it doprived tho crim~ iual of tho possibility of improvement. We do not think this argument noods auy refutation. Yot these nro tho two most celobratod argumonts on the injustice of the death-penalty, Bocearin did & noble work by the publication of his Dot delitti e dells pene, which iu & short time was translated into twenty-two Inugunges. Ho found tho oriminal law of Europo in a chn- otic conditlon, He pointed out its barbarlo stato, and contributed porhaps more thau any ather man to its smellaration, for ho wrote at & timo when tho mania of excouting witches had not yot subsided ;- whon the * torture " was still in uso, sud whole arsonals of instramonts of punishmont were plied up in juils and prisous, andawos for tho umusemont of tholr inmntes. o dId not'advooato the abolition of all punishe mout. Ho argued that {t should be made as Inmane &y possibla conslvtontly with its end, | With all lis morits, Rocoarin was somothing of o vislonary, It any proof of this wero noodod, it would uffico to quoto ous pasengo from his colobratod book in which he spenka of iho right of proporty as * that torriblo right,” and romarks that it was perlinps not necossary to rotnln it s o right. It is suflolont anewer to tho allogation of In- Justico to sy that the right of solf-prosorvation inhorent in sooloty embraces the right to tako away'tho lifo of an individual whose oxistonco s dangorous to its socurity. Whothor or not tho denthi-ponalty shall bo rotained in nStatofen question of cxpedienoy rather than of justico, and human socloty has not yot ronched such a dogroo of porfection thut it is expediont to abol- 18l capital punishment altogethor. It is urged, it s truo, that, whoro tho donths ponalty has been abolished, eapital crimos aro losa frequont ; and figures aro brought forward to prove tlus position. It may bo doubted here, ‘whothor tho causo is not takon for the offect and tho effact for the eauso. When a people or a Btato rosolve to and do abolish the death-pen- alty, is it not because crime s beon dimiuviehe fug, and they eeo no good reason why thoy should continue it ? But supposing that this is not the case, how can it bo shown that the diminution of the numbor of capital crimos s tho result of the abolition of the death-ponalty? All arguments drawn from statistics on this mntter must bo necossarily very inconclusive, At tho roquest of momo of the .advoontes of sholishing tho deatli-penalty in this Btate, we print this morning the report of the Iouse Com~ mittes whioh favored tho abolition. This report ombodios the staplo arguments wo have slready roforred to. Tho proper position on this question, it sooms to wus, is this: That no universal rule ns to tho oxpo- diency of tho death-pomalty gan be lald down; that it is & quostion of place, time, and degroo of education. The question for us, in Illinois, is o question of tho characterof tho criminal’clags of the State. It may bo safo to abolish tho death-pouslty in Wisconsin or Michi- gou, or whore thero is reslly no lnrge city. It would bo very impolitic to alolish it in Illinois or Now York. It would Do very impolitic to abolish it whoro any latgo portion of the popula~ tlon livo in largo citios. Large American citios, like New York, Chicago, and 8t. Louls, attract to thomsolves tho desperadoes of tho wholo carth, Europoan nations not unfroquently turn looso their criminals upon us snd we open to them our hospitable doors. These dosperato characters flud their way to our largo towna. Wo should boar those facts in mind when discussing the abolition of the death- ponalty. Wo are, in fact, the lnst peoplo in tho world who cau afford to disponso with it. Ime ‘prisonmont for lifo, if tliero wero any such thing, doeg not dotér the lower classes of criminals from crime, Thoir minds do not grasp tho fu- ture. Thoy grasp only the present momont. Present pleasures and presont pains alono ju- fluonco them. Thon, again, the prigonor for lifo s always the Lopo of pardon or of escapo bo- foro his oyos. ‘The argument that the innocent may somo- timos suffor, and have sometimos suffered, the death-ponalty, is hardly applicable under our Iaws or undor our jury system. The common Inw admits that, whonever thero is o roasonablo doubt of a prisoner's guilt, heshall bo acquitted. ‘With such a guarantee, littlo is to bo feared. Be- sidos, whero capital punishmont ts unknown, Lynch-law has not unfrequently asserted itsolf and mado tho innocont suffer for the guilty, There aro some erimds that can be atoned for only by death, and, uofortunately, when the powors that be will not inflict it, the mob will, BTEALING TELEGRAMS, Mr. B. F. Butler, the controller of tho Repub- liean party in Massachusotts, the patron - Dawes, and the succossor of Tom Murphy as confldontinl adviser of the President, has been et his old trick of stealing telograms again. It will be remembered that during the impeach- ment trinl tho demagogue of tho ovil eye got hold of a barrelful or so of privato dispatohes by & process littlo bottor then thett, Tho compli- ‘monts ho recoived for his doxterity on that acoa- sion havo emboldened him to commit another deprodation of the same kind, During tho Sim- mons contost, his frionds boasted that he got Lold of privato telograms to Massachusetts mombers bofore they did themsolves. Investigation is sald to havo shown that the **Essex County statosman™ kept & elork near tho telegraph-instruments, whose duty it waas to listen to the messages as thoy came ovor tho wires and writo out copies at ance for the uso of his employer. The Hon. H., L. Picrce, of Bos- ton, the only Republican Congressman, excopt Tostor, of Ohlo, who has recontly dared to attack the bully, hos socured tho pussogo of s resolution directing the Architect of tho Capitol to inclose the tolograph-instrumonts &0 that tho mossnges thoy click cannot horoafter bo road by sound by outsiders, Tho resolution rocites that ‘‘cortain uuprincipled persons® hovo hitherto filohed tolegrams in tlus way, It is strange that the House dargd to visit oven this mild censuro on the head of Butlor, Itis a pleasant spactaclo Congress prosents in this matter. Imagino tho House of Commons vot- ing that, inasmuch as Disracli hod boon gullty of the meanest sort of petty larcony by stenling privato tolograms, thereforo care should be takon 1o provont hisdoingso again. Congress would find it choaper to liro a detectivo whose solo funotion should be to provent Butler's stonling loreaftdr, instend of waiting until the Lorse has been taken, and then solemaly bolting the door while the thief chuckles over his booty with hig pale.
