A BEECHER IDEA-CATHERINE E..
BEEcHER (either Mrs" or "Miss ", one
of the notorious BEEcHER family, is secre-
tary Of society engaged in educating and
relieving the sutferings Of southern people.
The society has agents under Mrs. Stowe
investigating the wants Of the South. Mrs.
STOWE has recently made a personal ere
connoissance" of the South. And now the
secretary Aforesaid. writes.aa letter to
the great organ Of fabbergast and "moral
ideas -the New York ITibuae-to give
her deduction from these inquiries as to
the best mode of relieving the South. She
thus presents itin nutshell: The con-
Issclusion gained is that the only successful
Issmethod is The introd stction Of capital by
/" the right class Of permanent settlers, in

Anarchy in Abyssinia.

A special cable telegram to the New York
Herald brings dates from Abyssinia as late
rs the sOth Of April. The effects Of the
British expedition and the death of King
THEODORE had been to put the whole coun-
try in state of anarchy.
The chiefs, relieved from the ruls OF
THEODORE, many of them taken Gus OF
prison by the British--had raised armies
against GoBAzzE, the ruler preferred by
Sir CHARLES NAPIER.
A singularly interesting fact is stated.
Among those rising against GoBAzzE was one one
ALI, one of the released chiefs. GoBAzzE's
general-in-ehief .(MAsHEsHAs) was sent
against him with strong force, including
number of brave warriors Of the Walda-
gallas tribe. AS soon Tin the engagement
rs they came in front Of ALI they reversed
their spears, rushed to him with joy, and
afterwards fell upon MAsHEsHAs's army and
assisted to defeat it. This display Of affec'
ton for their old commander, ALI, is COM
pared to the rushing Of NEY's army to en-
brace NAPOLEON.
Queen MUsTAvELLA, with large army,
had possession Of Magdsla and the ruins
evacuated by the British.
The native priests declare that MENELEk,
of Shosta, is the legitimate king to succeed
THEoDoRUs on the Zebra Tabor, or " Mount
of TRANSPORTATION" -.4
And yet, to crown the troubles Of the coun-
try, it was said the Egyptians are about to
enter in force with view to its conquest.
THIS is certainly no fattering result of
British invasion. THEoDoRUs, with all his
cruelty, maintained better order in Abys-
sinia than any other chief probably could
have maintained.

WH1sKEY FRAUDs.-Pending the con-
sideration Of ScHENcK's bill in the House
Of Representatives, Mr.. KELLEY, of Penn
sylvania, stated that, it was not doubted
that there were 100, 100000 Of gallons of
whiskey distilled in the country the pre-
sent year, and yet tax Of two dollars per
gallon upon that whiskey only yielded
$4,000, GOO! One house in Philadelphia,
he said, sold more whiskey than the Go
yernment received tax for in the whole
State of Pennsylvania and yet New York,
in the extent Of whiskey frauds, oversha-
lowed Philadelphia.
