Dutch Military Expectation of a Speedy | Termingtion of the War. (From the Singapore (E. I.) Times, Feb. 12,] Since the fall of the Kraton military operations in Acheen have been suspended on voth sides, but the cholera has been steadily at work in both | camps, carrying of many victims. Among the Acheenese, their most spirited leader is said to have | fallen @ victim to this disease, and it would appear from the latest Dutch omicial telegram that even | the Sultan himself has succumbed to it, a child of nine years having been elected in his stead with Jour regents. The military position of the Acheenese is, accord- | ing to the Dutch despatch, exceedingly unlavora- ble to a prolonged resistance, some Of their wer Jul chieis having withdrawn tuemselves and their Jorces irom the opposing army, and itis said the end of the war is hear at haud. DUTCH BULLETIN FROM THE FIELD. Translation of telegram forwarded irom Acheen on 24th January, 1874, to the Hague :— “The Kraton is ours. By a circular movement — 23d and 24th ol January the Kraton as been entirely surrounded and cut off from communication with the cutside. The fortifichtion ‘was then no longer tenable. While the movep:ent east of Kraton was continued some companies of the Fourteenth Battalion attacked Kraton on the west side and found it abandoned. Loss is very teifling; exact figure not yet known with cer- tainty. I congratulate King and fatherland on this victory.”? . A NATIVIST PEACE PARTY—TREASON TO THE NATION. As usual in other parts 01 the world, there is and ‘has been in Acheen a war party and a peace party salgo, On the llth o: January @ inendly head man of the latter party, who had promised to deciare Bg forthe Dutch if they succeeded in taking | ® mutual council seems to have been delayed le Mosque, affirmed, when sounded on the sub- ject, that he was airaid to doso. He furnished, | owever, some valuable iniormation, aba advised that the Dutch troops should capture a pleasure house to the southwest of tne Kraton, irom which | @ plunging fire could be directed upon the latter. This ee house was a kind of stone tower which was @ residing place tor the Sultan of | Acheen’s wives, and 1s bamed Kotta Petjoet. On the following day a detachment sent out thither, in | conformity with the head man’s advice, captured Kotta Petjoet and some iortifications in the neigh- Dorhood, with the loss of seventeen wounded. The Acheenese did not make great resistance. The same head man represented that some of the Acheenese im tne Kraton were wavering and that many of them had lost heart and left it im despair, and had gone home im consequence of tue great mortality ‘there from the cholera. He asserted, too, ‘that the Acheenese bad just heavily in the various combats, and that on the day of the storming of the Mosque 100 of them were Kiiled and only twen- ty wounded around and near the Kraton, The men from Peair went home irom the Kraton, alter Jeane twenty-tive per cent of their number irom cholera, i | RAJAHS IN ARMED RESISTANCE, | A telegram by mail, dated at Penang on the 14th | of March, reports as tollows:—“The rajans uni- versally refuse to submit and continue their armed resistance, The report of Panglimapolim’s death is uniounded.

I.) Times, of February 13, pub- fishes the following remarks on the above impor- tant part of the subject of the war:— As there has been some speculation and official mystery about the policy ol the United States gov- ernment towards Acheeu, perlaps the following extract from President Grant’s Message on the opening of Congress—the only al'usion he makes to Acheen—may throw some light on the question. ‘The President said :— Official information being recetved from the Dutch overnment of a state of war becween the King of the jetherlands and the Sultan o1 Acheen, the officers of the United States who were near the seat’ of the war were {nstructed to observe an impartial neutrality. It is be- lieved that they have done so. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Isaac Butt, M. P., is not so flerce a home ruler ‘as he was. Mile, ima de Murska has apartments at the NEW PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Rey. Leonard Bacon’s Lecture in Yale College. Beecher as Viewed by the Moderator of the Late Council. New Haven, April 2, 1874. This evening Marquand chapel, at Yale Theologi- cal Seminary was well filled with students who had gathered to listen to a written address de- livered by Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D., Moderator of the recent Congregational Council held in Brooklyn. After some general and introductory words the Professor said :— GENTLEMEN—Let us see what councils are and what their uses and objects, 1, A congregational council is not a permanent organization like a presbytery. It makes minutes, certifies them and then leaves them with a church calling the counch, 2. A congregauional council is not a governing body. its juaction is not that of government—it can inflict no censure on anybody—it can remove none. Its judgment can ouly be made eflectual by the churches represented in the council, The power of a council is the power of the churches represented. 3. ‘The 1unction of a council is to consult, to give light tf it can, to iorm and express opinion or to ascertain by testimony concerning facts, Its function is to advise, to express tue thoughts of churches represented. WHY WAS THE COUNCIL CALLED? Tn the second piace, What was the occasion and by what right was tis Council caled? (1.) It was | called in connecuon with a cause of scandal in connection with Plymouth church; other churehes had an interest im it, (2) ihe two churches nearest in intimacy witi Flymouth church Temoustrated respecting the scandal, ‘Ihey had better have adopted the scripture method as stated in Matthew. (3.) A proposal jor rather than denied by Plymouth church—at least Plymouth church was not eager to accept. (4.) The two churches needed advice. It was proper jor them to calla council. The powers ot the Council were not those of a mutual council. That always means withesses and statements on two sides. It was not an ex parte council, tor it had not the power couceded by long usaze to ex parte councils, The Plymouta church couid not be ar- raigued for trial, The Councii had as little power to vindicate as to coudemn the pastor of | Plymouth church, His integrity was assumed, Absurd is the siatement tuat the result | of the Council was a vindication of bin, | Two poimts were be.ore the Council:—(1) | Plymouth church threw away an opportunity of vindicating its pastor—a person said he nad re- leased himseli from the church, and so the church dropped his name trom its catalogie; (2) what advice should tne Council give respecting Lhe con- tinuance ot fellowstup witi Plymouta churca? The Council acted on puoiished and oficial documents, not on rumor. RESULT OF THE COUNCIL. The result o/ the Council shows that (1) the complaining churcues had a right to call a council of advice; (2) they acted for the iraternity of Cone gregational churches; (3) their first letter to Plym- | Outh. churca was not careiui enough; (4) Piym- outh church snould have been more frank at first; (5) Plymouth church should have been pressed either to a reiusal Oo! @ council or an evasion equivalent to @ reiusal; (6) Plymouth church was unsound ip its views of church mem- bersuip. A church Was not a street car, having & man getting in at this corner, another getting out atthe next; (7) the idea of church memberstup means covenant between church and members. It may be broken by the members by trangregsion. If not repentant he may be cut oa. A resident church member cannot by voluntary absence re- soive church connection. ‘hat person (Tilton) should not have been let off because he stayed away from his pastor’s preaching through unbelief in him, (8.) Fellowship with Plymouth churei is recommended in hope that it will maintain those Churcb principles it had been supposed to disavow. MR. BERCHER'S INFIRMITY, Dr. Bacon disclaimed any suspicion of Mr. Beecher. He started from his muocence. Two infamous women could not even cause a man to Kick a dog by their testimony. ir. Beecher’s intirmity is that he allows sinners too near approach—liavle to be accounted a par- taker in other men’s sins, His maguanimity ts immense, His characteris the possession of the country—the age. He lias no rignt to sacrifice it to any fantastic notions Of Magnanimity ; no rignt latin bers @ strain upon the confidence of his rien A DOUBERRY COMPARISON. One writer hus said tue method resorted to was a Dogberry method of getting rid of a scandal. Notice Dogberry's charge to the watch:— “You shail all vagrant meu—you shall bid any man stand.” “What, and he will not stand ?? “Take po, note of him,” let him go. Call the | Test of the watch together and thauk God you are rid of a knavg,”” Says Lance vu! bis dog, “I have sat in the stocks for the puddings he hath stolen; otherwise he would have been executed.”? I think he had better have let his dog be executed. I think Mr, Beecher would have done better if ne had permitted the formal metnod to have been fol- jowed in the case of that man. But to his own master he standeth or talieth. I hope to see his useiulness enlarged. ‘The last course of lectures he haa just delivered in this chapel to you, gentle- men, has been the best. It seems to me impoasibie for any man to give in such a spiritual and uncon- scious way such lectures and nut be true. “No vindication of ar. Beecher by or before the Council couid have been nobler than Dr. Storrs’ eulogium upon him,” said one to me, as we passed out of the church where the Council was held. “That shouid be the eulogy pronounced at Mr. Beecher’s funeral, so noble was it.”? The possibility Of a new issue af wmconvertidle paper I regard with amazemeni and anxiety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- ment anda shame.—CHARLES SUMNER, ALL HOPE ABANDONED. The Missing Norwegian Steamer Anna— Forty-seven Days Out from New York to Rotterdam and No News Received— Interesting Interview With the Nor- wegian Consul. Hardly a shadow of hope can be entertained for the safety of the new Norwegian steamer Anna, which left this port for Rotterdam on tne 15th of | February, forty-seven days ago, and of which vessel no tidings have been heard since her departure from Brooklyn on the above mentioned date. Yesterday afternoon a HERALD reporter called upon Messrs. Funch, Edye & Co., the agents of the Anna, who made the following statement :— “The steamer 10 question is forty-seven days out on her voyage, and no news has been received respecting her. She carried about 61,000 bushels of grain, shipped by Mr, R. C. Burlage, the Consul for the Netherlands, The grain was put on board under the supervision of Captain Nichols, representing the United States Lioyds Marine Insurance Company of this city, who gave a certificate that it was properly stowed. In ad- dition tothis the Anna had on board upwards of 300,000 pounds of provisions and a small quantity of general cargo. We are afraid we shall hear nothing more about her; but there exists a possi- bility of her machinery having broken down and that she 1s proceeding under sail. We own a THE MILLERSTOWN FIRE. . Terrors of the Conflagration by a Survivor—List of the Loss of $225,000. PITTSBURG, Pa., April 2, 1874. Intelligence from Milierstown, the scene of the great conflagration of yesterday, states that further search among the ruins has failed to bring to view any more dead bodies. Nellie McCarty, the young girl who jumped from a third story window of the Central Hotel, is dying. Imme- 4 Stated Dead—A diately after her fatal jump she was removed to | the house of a neighbor, where a atholic clergy- man was called, who administered to her the last rites of the Church. One of her legs was broken and she was aiso injured internally, The following is a list of those known to be lost:— Captain Oliver, of Rynd Farm, guest at the Central Hotel.

SHAMBURG’S STATEMENT. Dr. Shamburg, guest at the Book tiouse, had a hairbreadth escape. He says, when awakened, he | Opened the door and was met by a stream of heated | air, smoke and gas, which was suffocating. “I caught my ciothes.as wellas I could,” he states, “and rushed into the hail, but it was so dark I could not see even a lighted candie, and was | obliged to crawl upon my hands and knees, and then I heard shrieks and screams of persons run- Ding in all directions and leaping out of the win- dows, I succeeaed in finding the stairway, and thus made my escape into the street, but was so | exhausted from suffocation that I could not speak. | As soon as I had inhaled a little iresh air Irealzea my condition, and found that I had | on only my pants and boots; my watch, hat, vest, papers and diary, money and valuables, were leit behind, 1 started to return for them, but found the stairway covered with flames, impossible to describe the scene. I was at the great Chicago fire in 1871, but witnessed no such scene of terror as this. The screams of inmates cut off from escape, the rusiing in frantic haste of persons in the street in search of friends known to | have been in the building belore the fire, together with the hissing and roar of the flames as they devoured buildings (in less time than 1 can recount it), my mind images that I get. Judge Marvin, of Erle, was brought out irom the burning building almost suffocated and in @ helpless condition. Wr. Hunter, who had a room but @ short distance from mine, made bis escape but a few minutes before I went out. He lost his pants and his money. 8, P. Boyer had a very narrow escape, losing nearly all his clothing and money. I was the last person who escaped down the front stairway.” Many of the guests of the hotel lost vast sums of money, peculiar watch chain clinging to the charred flesh. Among the heaviest iosers are Dr. Book, whose Property was valued at $60,000; Mr. Hanlon, of the Hanlon House, $10,000; Mr. S. B, Byers, of the Opera House, $3,000, and Messrs.

The Joint Committee of Congress Listen- ing to Tedious Testimony with Very Little Spice of Fraud—All the Con- tractors and Officials Virtuous. WASHINGTON, April 2, 1874. At the morning session of the District of Co- lumbia Investigating Committee several witnesses were examined as to the value of real estate in the eastern section of the city, which has been subject to @ general sewer tax of two cents per Square foot, to show that the tax amounts to a large part of the real value thereof, Mr. Todd, a citizen of Boston, testifled that he | owns improved property in the eastern section of | the city which is assessed at about $19,000, and that the aggregate o1 his taxes this year, includ- ing special improvement, sewer and general taxes, is over $11,000. Samuel Strong, a large contractor, was recalled and questioned at length in relation what moneys he had paid to William A, Cook, Attorney for the District of Columbia, His examination grew out of the imputation that Strong had been feeing this attorney to decide in his favor on certain matters in which he was involved with the Board of Public Works. Strong denied the imputation | and sbowec that Cook had been his lawyer for some years, and tuat the money paid him was in legitimate counsel iees. Mr. B. Leverson was sworn in the afternoon, and presented a number of statements and esti- mates made by him from actual Measurements and from reports oi the Board of Public Works, and also trom reports of General Babcock, relative to the various contracts executed under the Board. He stated that he believed the statements were correct. Most of these papeis were collated irom different reports, and contain comments made by Leverson in relation to the nature of the | work done. He had made those calculations for tue | memorialists, The work around Rawlins square, Government Reservation, witness had remeasured and compared with the measurement made by tue government engineers, ‘The chairman state that the papers presented | would be referred tothe engineer appointed by the committee to verify the measurements, which had been questioned by the memorialists.

As a rule the contraciors were Tequired to sigp contracts before pay- ments were made to them. Oiten, woen contracts were awarded the witness was required to draw them, and this was frequentiy done when the contractors were not present. Some contractors were under the impression tnat the order awarding the contract was equivalent to a contract, and under that they would goon with the work; but when they wanted payments tne ruie of the office required them to come up and sign before they could get payments, r.

There 1s a lady visitor at present stopping at room 74 of the Astor House who has created quite @ sensation on the Pacific siope and who is known to fame as Mrs, Brigham Young No, 19, This lady is about twenty-seven years of age, tall, slender and graceful in appearance, and has band- some black eyes, nicely cut features and fine black hair, Her relations with Brigham Young became such about a year ago that she was forced to sue ior divorce and alimony, and no decisi has been reached as yet in her case ‘This attempt of Mrs. Young to get a divorce from the much-married Brigham has created a row in the Mormon Chureh, and it is deemed to be the boldest act ever committed by @ woman | who had juined tne polygamist faith. Last evening a reporter of the HERALD called at the Astor House tor tne purpose of having @ talk with Mrs, Young No. 19, and was introduced to the lady by her ageut, Mr. Pond, a stalwart and good looking Pacitic Sloper. Mrs. Young is at present engaged in tec- turing on her woes throughout the country, and last evening deiivered a lecture at the Bediora avenue Reformed church, in Williamsburg. Mrs, Young, whose Christian name is Anne Eliza, bad just dressed for her lecture, and wore @ handsome lack suk dress, wita White rufiles around her fair and shapely neck. Mrs. Young weicomed tne reporter with admira- ble grace acu sell-possession and the followmg conversation ensued :— ReEPoRTER—| believe, madame, that you are known as Mrs. Brigham Young No. 19, and that you nave & divorce suit pending against Brigham Young, the | Mormon Prophet? Mrs. ANNE ELiza Youna—Yes, I have applied tor | @ divorce in the United States District Vourt of | Utah, and for alimony; but there is a dispute be- tween the territorial and federal courts over this case.

The possibility af a new issue of tnoonvertidle | paper I regard with amazement and anxiety, and, | ta my judgment, such an issue would be a detre- | ment and @ shame.—CHARLES SUMNER, ALBANY, April 2, 1874, This morning we had a rumor that Vanderbilt intended to withdraw bis Rapid Transit bill. It received but slight credit, for whether he builds the road or not the charter is worth something, It-Mil. preserve the Fourth avenue from invasion and save the profits of his street car railroad. The Third Avenue Company ts deeply interested in preserving the alliance with Vanderbilt. Singie- handed it could never get its charter through this mercenary Legislature, withcut a huge expendi, ture of money. Combined with Vanderbuit, uader the wgis of the all-powerful Commodore, the ex- pense will be only a fraction of what it would cost to go it alone, The Third Avenue Company fights for its life. The charter is necessary to its existence, Let its route be covered by a Rapid Transit road in other bands and its stock would fall rapidly below par. Next week the quick transit bills will be consid- ered. Kastman’s will come up for cebate among the rest. It is a very unpopular bill with the As- sembly, for it ‘spoils trade.” If Vanderbilt's should pass in its present shape it will be vetoed | by the Governor, as some of its provisions are sim- ply outrageous, ONE IMPORTANT THING PASSED THE ASSEMBLY. The Supply bill passed the Assembly to-day by a vote of 91 to 24, Many legislative jobbers were | Sorely disappointed at not being given a chance to tack on their particuiar amendments, When reported the bill appropriated $1,130,771 91 less than last year. In the House there was added $170,000, embracing $150,000 to the Buifajo Asylum, $16,000 to the Susquehanna Valley Asylum, and the balance comprising miscellaneous allowances. ‘There 1s appropriated tor pubic buildings $607,000 more than there was last year, Thus relatively | the Supply bill is at this time $1,737,000 less than it was last year. Deducting the addition made in tne House it 18 $1,567,000 less, Last year the bill was reported March 12, ordered to a third reading Brigham Young, and this gives rise to suspicion | 02 May 2 and sent (o the Senate May 7. This year it was reported March 24, passed April 2 and sent | to the Senare on the same day. | The bili now goes to the Senate, where it will undergo something like two or three weeks’ | Dursing; and, when that 1s over ana the bill de- lavered saiely out of the hands of the assembled | wisdom, there will be serious thoughts of adjourn- | ment. After the Supply bili and rapid transit are both settled nothing turther remains; and there | 19 no reason why there shouid not be an adjourn- ment betore the Ist of May. THE DEBATE ON THE SUPPLY BILL related principally to the motion made yesterday | by Mr. Prince to reduce the appropriation for the new Capitol from $1,500,000 to $1,000,000. Tue motion was deteated and the original amount is retained, The fact that many o! those who voted for the retention of the larger sum stood up to ex- eae their votes 18 evidence that there are some in the Assembly who are not utterly indifferent to | pubdlic opinion and who like to stand well with | their constituents.

The senate took the view | that, as there is no law covering the objection, | Moore, even though @ deserter trom the United | States Army, 18 not debarred trom taking his seat if legally elected. The statement in a contempo- rary ta incorrect that Moore and Pinckney have entered into an an agreement to postpone the tur- ther hearing of the case till July. It should have been Thompson and Youmans, as the Moore and Pinckney case will be flually decided this week. THE OLD, OLD BIORY. The investigation into the building of the new Capitol shows the existence of organized fraud | throughout. The contracts for granite were swindies trom beginning to end. It seemed to be the settled purpose of every one concerned in the building, who nad the slightest chance of doing so, | to defraud the State, Jt 1s curious that William C, Kingsley, of Brooklyn, who has the making a gold piacer out o! tne erection of the | Bast River Bridge, snould be one of the New Cap- 1tol Commissioners.
