The {nguiring dolegate then suggeatod that, if Mr. Howon was dotermined to commune, physical forca only could prevent him, The Council bocame vory turbulent, and there wero froquoot nnd almost disorderly cries of *Queistion!” and * Order!" The tumult increased after Dr. Dacon took tho floor aud oxpressed lumsolf freely onco more.

Prosident Porler got the floor and sturdily opposed Dr, Bacon iu what he called his evident feeling antsgonistic to Plymonth Church, and closed with somo very decided remarks, Tho previous question waa then voted.

Thio roport was also adopted withont much discussion, Both the above reports sdavise that in every cago all otlier meaus of righting mattors should have boen oxhausted bofore Emonndh:g to calla Council, and that uo church should call a Mu- tuat Counctl #a long as thero 18 any otber way of settling a diffienlty. ‘Tho roport of the Committoo on Question No. 6 was then takon up.

Tho roport on this ques- tion sots forth that the Committeo are satistied that thore seoms tobo mo absoluto noceasity of roopesing tho case, ut, {nssmuch a8 _thoro aro B0 many -nuplc\unn claims and ruinous allogations, it rocommenda that tho Council appolnt a committee of tlrce to advise Plymouth Church that it would bo well to select » committeo of tive from & list of emincnt per- sons which they submit, whoso duty it shail be to hoear evory sorap of evidonce that can bo coi- lected, and "adjudicate flually upon the case. Thore is a division 1n the Council oo this subjeot, and it is sald tho fight will bo a long snd bittor one, Itiythought to bo more than probabloe that tho report will bs edopted, mna that Plymouth Church will act promptly upon the advice of tho Councll in tho matier.

As tho dlscussion of the Committee's report had beon mada the order of the session, it is atatod that no action wos taken on those renolutions ; that the whole evening was con- sumed in discuesing tho formor, Dis, Bturto- vant, Btorrs, and Woolcott are atated to havo made longtby addrosscs, arguing that inasmuch a8 there was 8o much evidont dissatisfaction ex- isting with regard to the investigation held in 1874 anothor mod further ome should bo had, They werc opposed fu thelr views by Prosident Yaircbild, President Chamberiain, Judgo Cornell, and Gon, Brinck- erhoff, who were of the opinion thas tho invosti- gation already held bad satisfactorily sottled the question. The discussion s said to have beou somewhat heated, sud Dr. Sturtevant ls re- ported to have said in his addross that there was a great deal of dissatisfaotion among the churches throughont the country, aud ho thought thoy sbould bo made to feel that Plymouth Oburch was ontitled to ‘| the confidenco and felowalip of tho Congroga- tional churchies, ‘Thls, he urged, could only be done by tho holding of another investigation, as auggosted by the report of thio Committeo. ‘Lue discussion ou the question was ot con- cluded, and thore s but little likelihood of the v?lg:»nms taken in the matter before tomorrow night, MWOULTON, Bhearman stated this evening that a request made by Plymouth Church that Moulton be ro- ?u ested to producs hia proof was not in tho form of a written commuulication.

Ho was authorized to way that the hotels swould not in- creaen Lbo price of board owing to the pressure.

Keotucky had no son to preseot for nomination, and theralore thio delib- crstions _would be free from improper intlu- onces.

WASUINGTOS. Mr. C. C. Cox, of thin ci'y, on behalf of the cltizens, jrrespectivo of patty, advocated Wash- ington a8 the most appropriate place for the Cunyention, F BT. LOUIS. Senator Bogy, speaking in aivocacy of St. Louis, gave hLis ressons why the Cenvention shouid bo beld in the West and not in the East, Ho objccted to Chicago hecause ft was 8 Ite- publicau city, and 1lluols was not a Demo- cratic Stato, and he was afraid ehe was wedded to ber idcls. As to Ciucionati, he did vot be- lieva tho bolding of the Convention thers would favorably affect the Demoaciatic votoe o No- vembor, I1f Lo thought 80 hs wou'd advocale such & relection, Ho lmg tho mort fiaternsl feeling for Loussule. but be did not thun’ it would be wiss that tho Convention ehould be Leld fonth of the Oh.o River. The cmbers of the lato War in thatState wonld be lo.ked on 28 having a tendency to s liue of poucy of which I-orthern men do nut ut tho present day Lieartily aprrove, ana thoy might thing that the party wasa Littlo inclined to Bourtouism ; but as to 8t. Lows, the Convou. tion would thore be welcomod witk warm hearts. Ske bas +plendid and capactous accommodations, and a hall capable of contatning 25.000 perrons. Taking alt things Into coneideration, ba recome mended &t. Loums &a the contro of the Domo- cratic uniserso, CTNCINSATL Judge Oliver presented Cincinnati as being the proper place, and best for tho Conven.ion. Among tlie reasons atated for sueh selection were the large number of botels aod weil-unown hospitality of hercitizens, Thicse gavo tho fullest sawuranco of a satisfactory recaption, nimost without distinction of party. Cincinnati, too, iy centrally located, and is easy of accoss botli ov rail and water, pud Lias & Lall which will ecat from 6,000 to 10,000 persous, He chiefly epoke of the political importance of holding the Conven'ion in Cinciunati, and expressed his belief that 100 vy peisons would Le in attendance, with conae- quont enthuinem and influencs. There would be ruch a send-off as would array the State of Olino under tho Domocratic banuer. It might be aaid, **As goes Obio, 80 goea the Union,” and therefora ho made a fervent appeal that Lelp be now extended to that Stata which will fight the firat Ptosidential Lattle, PUILADELPHIA. Benjamin Rusb, of Philadelphia, was noxt in- troduced in behaif of (hat city. Thore teing a diversity of opinion as to what Western city should "be selocted, it was but patural that Thiladelphia ehould interposn to reconcile the differences, and offer n!l the accommodations sequired for the Conveution, The Ceutennisl Exuibition, tho capacity and facilitics, tne haepitahty and Revolutionary ‘raditions of tho city all seem to afford toanswerable arguments why Philadelpbia should bo the pince, In can- clusion, bo read u resolution of the Democratio Stto Coovontion, respectfully suggesting tho choico of that city. Without furthor preceedinga tho Convention took n recesu from 6 to 8 o'clock.
