8 THE BEECHER SCANDAL. im ‘THE PROSPECTIVE BEOPENING OF THE OLD BORE NAMES OF THE COMMITTEE WHO WILL PROBABLY BEGIN ANOTHER INVESTIGATION— MRS. MOULPON'’S CASE A NEW FIREDRAND. Brooklyn "8 agog with curiosity yesterday regard- ing the revival of the Beecher seandal through the appointment Of am investigating committee by the New York and Brooklyn Association of Congregational Min- It had Jomg been anticipated that the many iaters. Congregational churches which were known to be oppbsed to Mr, Beecher would make some = @ffort to compel bis retirement from ‘the Plymeath pulpit, Is will be remembered that already in November of last year a resolution was offered at the meeting of the associa- tion asking for such a committee. That resolution was, however, laid upon the table, Im.April last an at- lempt was made by Beecher’s friends to expunge the resolution from the record, which failed, and on Wednesday last the entire subject was reopened by a motion to take the original resolution (which directed to investigation) from the tabie. The upshot of the | moeting was that the following resolution was passed :-— THE RESOLUTION. Resolved, That the whole matter raised in the preamble nd ‘resolutions, presented, by the Rev. H. H. McParland at 1 meeting in November, 1874, be referred to a committes, f report at their eartiest convenience the proper action ibereon. This resolution, as will be seen from its wording, does not imply an immediate investigation, but it is claimed that this will bea direct outgrowth of it. The proceed- ings of the meeting were purposely shrouded in the profoundest mystery, but it ts sufficient to say that jt was of a tempestuous character, Dr. A. H. Clapp, attached to the Bible House in tnis city, made the principal speech in favor of an investigation, and Mr. A. M. Storrs espoused Mr. Beecher'’s side in his usual zealous manner, As to the composition of the committee, several members stoutly declared that it | would be impossible for the HeRaip to obtain the names Those gentlemen will probably be surprised when they read the following, which is an accurate list of the entire committee appoimted by the Congrega- tional Minister's Association :— THE CoMMITTER. Rey. William Ives Budington, of Brooklyn, Chair- man. Rev. William M. Taylor, of the Broadway Tabernacle eburch, New York. Professor Martin, of the New York University, Rev, Dr. Virgin, of Harlem. Rev. C. H. Everest, of Brooklyn. Amember of the association, who desired that his name should be withheld, said yesterday that a majority of this committee would undonbtedly favor a rigorous investigation of all the charges ngainst Mr. Beecher. If an investigation were ordered, whieh could not be doubted, then it was almost certain that the above committee would be intrusted with the duty, und thea there was a strong likelibood that the entire ¥candal would be sifted to the bottom, and that impar- lial justice would be done. He declared that Mr. Beecher was now ina very unsatisfactory position, as he had not been wholly vindicated, and some of the Congregational ministers of Brooklyn and New York did not like to sce a man in the pulpit who rested even under the faintest shadow of so heinous a crime as | adultery. POPULAR FEELING. From conversations with quite a number of repre- fentative people of Brooklyn it cannot be doubted that the popular sentiment in the City of Churches is in lavor of this prospective renewal of the odious Beecher business. Some of Mr. Beecher's friends even desire it, as they think the council of ministers will acquit | bim. Mr, Halliday, the assistant pastor of Plymouth church, however,’ denies that an investigation is intended by the resolution. He says its sole abject was to dispose of this un@nished business so tar as the record was concerned, but not to pass upon Mr. Beecher’s guilt or innocence by way of an investiga- tion. Mr. Halliday denounced the rt “that he hastened to carry the news to Mr. Beecher,” &c., as | wholly untrue and declared that immediately upon his | return {rom meeting he had to go to baptize an Italian Daby and did not see Mr. Beecher that day at all. MRS MOULTON’S CASK. Mrs, Moulton’s dramatic expulsion from Plymouth ghnrch also created quite a ripple of excitement in Brookiyn yesterday. Mrs. Moulton’s friends know that Bhe ts A woman of great determination and who doex not easily foreive an injury, and they predict that she ‘will certainly bring the matter before a Congregational council, and thus try to set aside the vote of expulsion Bnd also to reopen the whole case in this manner. Mr, ‘und Mrs. Moulton both refuse to say anything about this delicate subject, but Mr. Shearman, Mr. Beecher's faithful counsel and ally, made quite ment yesterday, in which he, of course, expressed his tonviction of the perfect justice of the vote of expal- sion under these circumstances. As to the investi Vion demanded by Mrs. Moulton, Mr. Shearman aaid she, being no longer a member .of the had no right to a hearing in which to te her charges. However, if any regular member of the church demanded it, no hesitation would be shown in granting the request. As regards the interrogatories proposed to be put to Mrs. Moulton, it was Mrs, Moulton’s counsel, General Pryor himsel who stated that she would not answer any question whieh put a stop to any attempt . Mr. Shearman, of course, reiter- aiod his glowing beliet in Mr. Beecher’s complete i nocence of all the charges contained in Mrs, Moulton’s ppistie. CERTAINTY OF AN INVESTIGATION. What with the proposed appeal of Mra. Moulton to a Congregational council and the investigation probably Boon to be opened by the Committee of the Association of Congregational Ministers, there seems to be a gioomy certainty that the miserable business will again be ventilated before the public. It is claimed that this new committee, if it reaily does take the mat- ter in hand. will certainly examine Miss Tilton, Mr. and Mrs. Richards, Miss Susan B. Anthony and all the other witnesses who have not had a fall hearing before Mr. Beecher’s com- mittee or before the Brooklyn City Court. Mr. Beecher Was not seen by the writer yesterday, but one of his friends who did see him said that he was as nocon- cerned regarding these new developments as possible, that he joked about them and laughed at the idea that any harm could come to him as their possible con- Fequences, “Mr. Beecher has withstood too many carthquakes,”’ said this gentleman, “to be frightened by snob a slight trembling.” The committee whose names are given above are | armed with power to go into the whole matter con- neeter with the great scandal case. Their report isto be rendered at the committee's earliest convenience, the nature of the document, whatever it may be, will form data npon which the Association of Congregational Ministers intend to discuss the question as to whether or not Mr. Beecher may continue a member of the | asrociation, PLYMOUTH PRAYER MEETING. THE PROBABLE EFFECT OF MB. MOODY'S AD- MINISTRATION. Last night the usual large number assembled in Plymouth lecture room. Mr. Beecher came in at | twenty-five minutes past seven, accompanied by his wife. The meeting was opened by the singing of the bymn “Loving Kindness.” brethren prayed, and alter another hymn Mr. Beecher began bis remarks by saying:—‘I have been avery | deeply interested observer, so far as I am personally. concerned, in the fnovement that is going on externally for the promotion of a better religions state in the city. I need not say how profoundly I sympathize in this movement, how ear nestly I desire it to be successful; bat it is impossible not to have with the sympathy more or tess of friendly criticism, not condemnatory. I think Mr. Moody a singularly earnest man, I think that largely bis power consists in the concentration of all bis faculties in one end and steadfastly keeping to that end; and the end itself 1s one of the noblest that can be thought of, the lifting of his fellow-men out of a state of condemna- tion into a state of grace.

They are out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, but not a step further, After all they aro along way from the Red Seato the Jordan.

What we want is that fervid intensity of faith and hope and love that shall become infectious to those around about us. MOODY AND SANKEY. YESTERDAY'S REVIVAL MEETING IN BROOKLYN. The Tabernacle was not crowded yesterday morning, though most of the seats were filled. Mr. Needham, an Irish evangelist, offered the opening prayer. Re- quests for Christian prayers were read for about 100 persons in the nsual style. Mr. Moody delivered a discourse on the Lord’s Prayer and the prayers geno- rally of our Saviour, calling attention to #h> frequency with which He addressed peti- tions for help and guidance to the Father. He held up to the Christian world the ex- ample of the great Mediator in this matter of prayer, Woe should go to God for aid, in prayer and earnest, trusting supplication before enter- ing into important enterprises. Then success would crown our labors. must beseech the Lord for it, The revival must com- mence in the church. He urged his hearers to read frequently the seventeenth chapter of St. Jobn pel between now and next Friday, the day appointed for a fasting and prayer day. He stated that this after- noon there would be a meeting for dissatisfied Chris- tians to pray for themselves, All who are satisfied with themselves were advised to stay away. On invi- tation a large number in the audience stood up as re- questing she prayers of the Church for their spiritual healing. LAST NIGHT IN THE RINK. ‘The congregation in the Rink was as large last night hymns before the service opened. The first prayer was offered by Dr. Armitage, of this city, and was an carn- est invitation and full of inspiration. Mr. Sankey sang the hymns “Once “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by’? as solos. read portions of John’s gospel, first chapter, and then offered a briet prayer. The announcements for Sun- day’s services were made. The usual morning service, at half-past eight, when an address will be deliv. ered to Christian workers. The afternoon mecting will be for women, as was last Sunday’s. The evening meeting will be general, but the admission will be by the Young Men's Christian Association rooms and at several bookstores. This measure is designed to give the unconverted an opportunity to attend the services. “We will take the liberty,” said Mr. Moody, “of turn- ing you church-going people out if you get here. Wo want to see some new faces here in frontof us next Sun- day night.” held 1n the Tabernacle this morning, when the remarks fied with Christ but with themselves. MOODY'S SERMON. Mr. Moody took his text from Genesis, til., 9 “Where art thou?” This was the first question asked, the first text uttered. God was the preacher and there were only two in the congregation, From the time that Adam fell until now have men tried to ner is not to confess, but to hide if he conld bide anything from God. his sin.

The investigation of the alleged abuses in the Kings | County Lunatic Asylum was resumed yesterday. Dr. Ordronaux, State Commissioner in Lunacy, conducted the examination, He stated that a witness had that morning told him that he was afraid to testify lest he should be discharged. Counsel for the Commissioners denied that any such influence was exerted over their employés. Dr, Ordronaux satd that there were no charges of a civil or criminal nature against the Com- missioners of Charity. Commissioner Norris complained that the press had circulated damaging and unfounded statements con- cerning the Board. Miss Jenny Robinson, of Flatbush, testified that the sleeping accommodations at the Asylum were insuf- ficient; the pationts were poorly supplied with under- clothing, and it was sometimes given to them from the wash alroost wringing wet: had seen the patients run- ning up and down the wards to keep themselves warm; had noted a man in hall C whose face was terribly bruised; the nurse said that the man had fallen across a table; heard subsequently that such was not the case; the nurses were incommunicative; the food was very unevenly distributed; never saw brushes or combs there; the demeanor of the attendants was not always polite; the steward of the asylum, Mr. Scott, on one occasion walked out before them and slammed the door in their faces; Dr. Norris, President of the Charity Board, once said to the Committee, “LADIES, IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS;"’ this remark was in reply to a memorial calling for the discharge of One of the employés; witness said she spoke from notes which she had copied from her books; witness said the majority of the nurses appear to be ignorant and mercenary. persons; one of the male nurses did not know the meaning of the word ther- mometer; they were harsh and unfeeling in the treat- ment of the patients; Dr. Norris gave the impression that he was insulting at the time he made the remark to which she had testified. Miss Dora Robinson, sister of the last witness, re- | called, testified that on February 3 she complained to Commissioner Midas of seven employés who had stolen from the asylum; she asked him to discharge the men, and he refused to do so until they investigated the case; she said to him that the men had stolen and they must be discharged,,or she would write a card to the newspapers; he said, “My God! you would not dare to do that!” ‘witness’ said to Mr. Midas on the 10th of Fetruary that she would take that action, as she was not CONNECTED WITH THE RING, unless by the 17th of February they should discharge those men.

FLORIDA HORSES. [Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial. ] It costs half the value of a good farm horse to bring tt through by rail. Drovers trom Kentucky and from Texas sometimes reach this far with the refuse of their herds, but even these are better than the indigenous Florida horse, with a difference in keeping. A Florida pony does not need feeding. It keeps in condition on the | range, though even then should be fed in winter occa- jonaily when used. I have been in Florida nearly s1x ears, and I have never seen a milch cow regularly fed, js it any wonder the range-fed cow is a poor milker ? It would perhaps be going too far to say a Kentucky horse does not need any acclimatization; but out of three horses and three mules brought ont, overland, by Judge Randolph, the only one that neck on a rotten bridge. There is a temptation, I think, from the example about us, to neglect a Ken- tucky horse, used to its regular feed, It should be at- tended to until it learns to help itself, and always have one feed a day. The Texas barb is better under the sadale than any- where else. Indeed, I have seen none fit tor the plough. They have the indomitable spirit of the Bar- bary stock from which they sprung, and breaking them in isa task of no little peril. They have to be thrown down and thoroughly mastered, though Lam told the Texas cowboy has a peculiar method of subduing them, At any rate, don't buy a Texas horse for the farm or a lady's saddle until you know hevis thoroughly broke, Besides, thoy have an ngly trick of stumbling. I pi Jor the Georgia horse; the Kentucky horse best of all; but for cheap, durable riding, for light weights, the Florida Indian pony. I used such a pony last year in the plough and found {t tractable and handy, Dut too ight, THE PROGRAMME AT CREEDMOOR.

Yesterday morning the old Post Office building was opened once again, and its walls eehoed the cries of an auctioneer, selling to a gathering of second hana furni- ture dealers the remnants of the old office fixtures which had not been made serviceable in furnishing the new edifice. A cavernous, damp, unventilated air per- yaded the building, spiders’ webs festooned all the wails, and the old desks and tables were covered with the dust which had gathered in the brief interval which had elapsed since the time when they bore meekly enough the hopes, the aspirations and, perhaps, the | material wealth of thousands, The sale was not spirited, and the prices obtained for some of the articles of furniture was less than could have been obtained had they been gplit up and sold for firewood.
