Is based upon representations made by in

that sorne one here as intoierant

Truth from am Unexpected
Source.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beccher, in his
last Sunday discourse at Plymouth Church
took up the subject, and a fearful one it is,
Of Legislative and Congressional corrup-
ton. 1t is a theme which, in the olden
time, would have been discussed elsewhere
than in the pulpit, but now, as all our
preachers have become statesmen, and IN
struct ti.eir congregations principally in
the science of political economy and i'll the
movements of parties, it is quite affopos
and proper. Mr.. Beecher says:
The men at Washington and Albany sold
their country they sold their humanity arc
their honor, and the trusts that we're put up
on them by their constituents. They were
debauchers ofthe young they were the trait
ors; they that lifted the sword were not hal
so much traitors they that dcspoiled the ole
banner and trod it under foot they that !iret
upon the Government OF the United States
were not half so much traitors as those Yer
min who were crawling under the founda
tionsand destroying by corruption the vita
power of the Government.
The men at Washington and Albany
thus portrayed are Mr.. Beecher's politica
friends and allies. He knows them, and
his testimony is the best kind of"State ev
idence." Nevertheless, We are convinced
that when next falls election rolls aaound
Brother Beecher will be r%allyiug plymouth
Church to continue this corrupt dynasty
in power.-Erchange.

From The Plains.

ST. Louis, April -.
The Dcmocrat'S correspondent with
Gen. Hancock's Indian expedition gives
an account Of the council held at Fort
Larncd on April II, between Gen. Hancock
and fifteen Cheyenne chiefs. The coun-
ell amounted to nothing. only a part of the
chiefs of the tribe being in attendance,
and those present gave but equivocal reply
to Gen. Hancock's speech to them. Next
day Hancock moved towards the Cheyenne
camp, and when about half way was me I
by over three hundred chiefs and warriors,
who professed peace, but tn at night the
whole tribe abandoned their village, leav-
ing their wigwams, but tax. - :. away every
thing Of value. Gen. Clusters cavalry was
sent In pursuit, but had not returned when
the letter was closed. Indications pOint
to a confederation between the Cheyennes
and Sioux for evil purposes. Gen. an
cock intended to burn the Cheyenne vii
lage on the 14th instant.
The Denver Ne,cs Of April IL says: a
government train was recently destroyed
in the Colorado district and two men
drowned by a sudden rain-storm, which
sent a terrible food of water down the mar
row derth in which they were encamped.
DENVER, Colorado, April 2O.-Lookout
Station, two hundred and seventy miles
east, on the Smoky Hill route, was des-
troyed by the Cheyenne Indians last Mon
day. Three employees ofthe United States
Express company were killed ard scalped.
Gen. Hancock had reached Fort cara
and attempted to treat with the Indians.
but was unsuccessful. He then surround
ed their camp, but before commencing an
attack sent forward a messenger to propose
a treaty. The camp was found to be de-
serted, and most of their property ADAM
dcned. Gen. Hancock is supposed to be
now on the war path. About a thousand
warriors recently passed Downer's station,
going north probably the same who burn
ed Lookout.

NEW YORK, April %.
The election Tor delegates to the consti

small vote was polled. About 200 arrest!

The vote Of this city will exceed 10000
The democratic majority is about $4,000.
The vote of Brooklyn is about %, coo, and
the democratic majority is 1000.
Returns from Brooklyn indicate the
election of all the democratic candidates
for delegates. Henry Ward Beecher,
republican, was defeated by IA majority.
The total vote of Kings county was 49,
34S less that of last year.
The election Of senatorial delegates to
the constitutional convention resulted in
the choice Of nine democrats and one re-
publican-the latter by ten majority.
Thirty-two delegates at large are elected

Less than $4,000 votes we're cast in this

Prussia Defiant.

Al the indications are still to the effect
that a war will ensue between Prussia and
France. The feeling prevailing in both
countries of mutual hostility, rivalry and
jealousy is very similar to what 1t was just
before the memorable outbreak between
Napoleon | and the Prussian Monarchy in
1906, which culminated 50 disastaously to
the latter, on the plains ofJena and Auers-
tadt. Then, rs now, Prussia, inflated by
the memories of Frederick the Great, was
ambitious Of measuring swords with the
Conqueror Of Europe. She rushed into
the field precipitately. without an ally save
Russia, which was too remote to render her
any assistance until after the decisive blow
was struck.
If war breaks out now, Prussia, We pre-
diet, will be isolated and without any effect
i've ally. She has aroused the jealousy
and fear of all the minor or secondary
States of Europe, and France can easily
adopt the policy Of NJ. Theirs, and place
herself at the head of a confederate such
as Holland, Belkuim, Switzerland. Den.
mark, sweden, Italy and Spain.
Prussia is now, under the guidance oil
Bismark, what France was under Napoleon
|, the disturber, if not the terror Of the
Continent, and against her, from the be-
ginning. will be the ~sympathies of The
smaller States, who are in danger of being
swallowed up by her ambitious rapacity
Her military system is the most grinding
and oppressive in the world, and is unpop'
ular evel in Germany, where her inhu.
ence lays, When We consider these Gle
ments Of weakness, together with the fact
that France has what she has not, a pow
erful navy, and vastly more wealth tC

the conclusion that the ambition and pre-
sumption of Bismark are greater than the
strength at his command, and that in the
defan &c which he is extending to France.

smiled upon him, further than that tickle

The Fort Phil. Kcarncy Commits.

The commissioner Of Indian affairs has
received a telegram from Gen. Sully.
president of the commission to investigate
the massacre at Fort Phil. Kearuey, dated
California crossing, April PC, which states
that alters great difficulty the commission
succeeded in getting a party of Butte
Sioux, representing $50 lodges, in for a
talk. \ satisfactory arrangement was
made with them, and the general thinks it
can be safely said the commission has pre-
vented over 700 warriors from joining the
war party. The commission would leave
Fort Sedgwick fer Fort Larame in three
or four days, and hopes to be successful in
preventing many more Sax from joining
the hostile party. There has been much
trouble from the Sioux on the road to Fort
Laramie, which would increase the diff
cultics and expense Of the commission.

Eastor Services.

TIE Lenten fast Of the church ended
this year on Saturday last. Sunday, the
festival Of Easter was observed by the
Episcopal AMI Roman Catholic churches
lere with appropriate services. Morning
prayer vas said at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing, communion services held at 10&
A. NJ, and the Sunday school festival in
the evening, at the Episcopal church.
The church was pleasantly dceorat ed
for the occasion, and the services attended
by large congregations. The children's
festival in the evening was really a very fine
affair, and reflected much credit on all en-
gagged in getting it up.
The fast of Lent has doubtless been SC
observed By many in our midst as to pre-.
pare them Cor properly participating in the
great Easter festival with profit, and to
essentially benefit them in a moral and
religious point of view.

Some weeks since We published an article
severely rejecting on a large number OF the
members Of the last Legislature, which was
credited to the Indiana Journal. the State
organ Of the Republican party. The NJ.
e. Republican denies that the article in
question originated with the Journal, and
says it only appeared in that paper as a Sc
lection from some other paper, and tina,
the Jovrh0l commented severely Oh the
article. The Republican also makes a
great flourish of trumpets, and charges us
with forgery for crediting the aforesaid
article to the Journal.
Now al! We have t osay in relation to the
matter is this we saw the article copied
N a number Of orr exchanges and credit
Cd to the Journoi; supposing it all right,
We did the same thing, aud all the evil
depce we rave that the article was wrong
fully credited, is the bare assertion Of the
Republican. poor authority at best, and
very poor when party interests are in
question. We recoilect that the Republi-
can bas been IN the habit Of 6lchiDg arti-
cles Utmost entire from the Gin. Gazcue and

readers as eading editorials. What doesthe
Republican call that? Stealing?

The country looks with wondermcnt up.
on the Imprisonment of this distinguished
State prisoner,-there is no reason why he
is not either released or given II trial tn.
Constitution gratis to every man the righj
to a speedy trial. His Imprisonment there.
fore is 4 violation of lava cruelty tina,
ought to put to shame the President and
his advisers. Tho Cincinnati Enquire,
says of his continued Imprisonment:
"There is a mingled cruelty and coward
ice in the long detention Of the Ex-Presi-
dent ofthe Southern Confederacy without
a trial, and in defiance Of the simplest
rules of justice and equity. that is abso-
lutely without a parallel. 1t is hard to
say whether the Executive, the judicial,
or the legislative branches of the Govern
ment have been the most culpable and re-
miss in their duty, the most timid and
time-serving in their conduct. The Ex-
e%cntive, perhaps, all things considered,
is more especially an object Of censure
and reproach for his behavior in this
business. Months ago, Mr., Davis dis
charge upon bail was asked for b. such
leading Radicals as Horace Greeley and
Gerret Smith, and yet the President,
backed by their influence and names,
together with the whole conservative SEN
timent Of the country, had not the nerve
to perform a simple duty, demanded alike
by law and justice. It would really ap-
pear now rs if Mr.. Davis would, during
the balance of his life, be kept a prisoner,
and thus the anomaly would be presented
of a land boasting of its liberty and of the
supremacy of the Law furnishing a man
with . lifetime incarceration without any
authority or process other than mere arbi-
will. 1.-THE American people were
now what they were formerly, the specta-
Gle presented at Fortress Monroe would
elicit a violent tumult of popular rage and
Indignation before which the Government
would be compelled to bow.
