Theodore Tilton Expelled from Ply
mouth Church.

New YORK, Nov. &c. In regard
TO the expulsion some time ago Of
Theodore Tilton from the Plymouth
Church. meeting Of the congregation
Was held this evening for the purpose
of considering a communication which
had been received from a committee of
the Chu ca Of Pilgrims, Brooklyn,
The communication in question,
though couehed in general terms,
was evidently intended to refer to the
expulsion ON the 3lst of October, Of
Theodore Tilton from membership in
the Plymouth Church. The meeting
was crowded to excess, only members
of the Congregation and representa-
tives of the press being admitted. Mr..
A. Raymond was chosen President.
The Rev. r. NJ. Halliday, clerk of the
church, stated the purpose of the meet
ing, and submitted the communication
from the Church Of the Pilgrims,
charging a lack of discipline in Mr..
Beecher's church. He urged the ap-
pointment of conference committee
between the two churches. Mr. Nc
Hay proposed, as the simplest con-
clusion of the matter that Plymouth
Church should acceae to. the request
Of the committee of conference. Mr..
Gilbert proposed as an amendment to
the preamble and resolutions to the
effect that the communication charging
Plymouth Church with unscriptural
action ought not to receive any con-
sideration whatever and that the lat
ter church, being an Independent or
ganization, decline to take notice of
any protest from the Clinton Avenue
or any other church. These resolu-
tions were passed, and the clerk of the
church was authorized to send a copy
to the committee of the Pilgrims. MIR.
Beecher made some remarks in which,
without referring directly to Mr.. Til
ton, he deprecated the idea of such
strict church discipline by which a
member can be expelled without grave
reasons. Tilton's name was not men
toned during the entire proceedings.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SABA
Washington special reports the Presi-
dent as having expressed himself as
follows, during an interview with
prominent Senator:
When the Government fills every
preparation for the aggressive or de-
fensive policy, fits out its navy, does
everything to make the army effective,
up to the limit of calling tor troops,
you can put what construction you
please upon such activity. If we are
to judge Of such movements as civil
ians, should say they were war-like.
[ do not remember Of anything Of the
kind having been done in this country
which was not preface to peace or
satisfactson for our offended honor. So
far as [ know, [ believe our history
sustains me in this assertion. IF my
message to Congress does not convey
this idea, it will be because I forget the
words in which to express it.

ed by the Secretary of State, nor was
any new action in relation to the sub
ject taken. This Nation will act to-
wards Spain as toward alb other count
tries in the controversy, and act with
proper respect on replies to our com
plants. There is, however, anxiety
expressed for intelligence from Spain
OF decisive character, in order that
Congress may in the Presidents mess
age, be made acquainted with the facts.
There are indications that dispatches
were received, tonight, by both Sc
cretary Fish and Admiral Polo, the
Spanish Minister, from Madrid, Of a
character, which gives more, than here
tofore, promise, of peaceful solution
of the present complications. These
gentlemen were in private conference
for several hours, to night, at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Fish, comparing dispatch
es and discussing gener4lly the situa-
tion of affairs. 1t was remarked, to-
night, by a gentleman, prominently y
connected with this Government, that
things look more hopeful now than
ever. Orders were received at the
Washington Navy-yard, this morning
to fit the SAawn,ut for sea with all
possible dispatch. All the men that
can be employed to advantage will be
put to work both night and day The

What Public Men owe to Newspapers.
From the st. Louis Republican,


Colonel Forney complains. il well writ
ten article in the Philadelphia Press, that
public men are, as class ungrateful to the
newspapers and the Journalists 10 W bon
they, in many instances, owe their position.
Nobody is more competent to soeak ON this
subject than Colonel Forney himself. He
has made more statesmen out II small ma
terial than any man in America. lie has
taken a more active part in the persoce!
of American politics in the last twenty
years than almost any other man. Much OF
his work has been that of polit ician rather
than that Of a journalist, but IN either capa
city be has always been able % serve his
friends well, and he has always served them
faithfully. His reward has beeI very small
If he had let politics alone and devoted
himself exclusively to journalism. he might
have made greater name than Greeley
aud greater fortune than Bernett's. But
he was always fond OF helping some friend
to an Office, and always had taste for po
litical intrigue with purpose of this KIND
His experience has, no doubt, been tina OF
hundred others who have operate d IN the
same way on smaller scale. Make gov
ernor out of an alderman to-day, and o-mol
row he'll tell you that he owes his elevator
to his own superior merits. Forney made

Lightning rods Of iron are OF little value
as generally used. And though iron is a
good conductor while fresh and polished.
when rusted it has very little utility. Rods
should extend far above roofs, and should
be made of copper, as having nine times the
conducting power of iron. The conducting
power is in proportion 70 surface, and not
to the mass of the rod. The copper scroll
rod is, therefore, most efficient in protecting
buildings. These rods, if carried up to
such elevation al to be equal to the reach

next projecting rod, may be pretty well re-
