TnE NATIONAL, AGRICULTURAL
CONGRESS held its second session, last
week, At Indianapolis, Ind. It was
composed Of about two hundred and
fifty members, representing nearly ev-
cry State in The Union, aad for good
sense, practical far.seeing judgment,
they rank any equal number of men
ever before convened in America. They
seemed to know the needs, and the
host means Of promoting the in tercsts,
Of the class which they were chosen
to represent. They ignored all ques-
tons not germane to the original one,
and discussed such as were important
with directness and power which
augers we'll for tho future. Col. John
II. Stephens, Of the Farmers Union,
was . prominent and useful delegate
from Minnesota.

A NEw FEATURE Of the Beecher-
Bowen-Tilton scandal, has just been
developed. Mr.. Beecher publishes a
compact, entered into by all three, by
tho terms Of which it is agreed that
ncithsr of the latter should ever re-
peat certain charges, formerly made
by them against Mr.. Beecher.
They are all members Of Plymouth
Church, and the scandal tainted the
fair fame of all their families. Why
Beecher, again attracts public atteu .
ton to \ matter which is alike discred-
table to himself, aud to the Church
we are unable to zee.
Men falling from a height, so
lofty as that to which Mr.. Beecher had
attained, are not likely to escape with
out fearful injury, and We doubt
whether public opinion will so buoy
up the eloquent preacher, as to over.
come the downward tendency of his
serious indiscretions.

erty, as it is the defendants property.
In the use the defendant shall make
Of Its property, this defendant is as en-
tirely subject to Legislative control as
such supposed natural person would
have been. II MINI. SIS.
The franchise in question being a
privilege Of the sovereign, and which
the sovereign could alone impart, was
originally in the sovereign's control in
every respect.
. 1t was thesefore entirely competent
for the Legislature in comforting such q
franchise to retain authority to control
the defendant in its exercise. Possess
ing such right originally it must con-
tinue to possess it: that is to say, it must
retain it in any given case in so for as
it does not part with it by comforting
exemption therefrom upon tho recipi-
ent Of the franchise.
1t follows as respects this franchise
that the sovereign which conferred it
retains its original right to control the
defendant in its exercise Of the same in
81 far as it has not surrendered its au-
thority. The contract here We assume
is that the defendant may take some
tolls: That is what the sovereign gran
ted it. To the extent to which such o
grant necessarily involves exemption
from legislative control as aforesaid the
sovereign has surrendered such original
right of control no further.

to time regulate the use of the franc hise

which it shall DO lawful to take, in the

Tho Panic.

The panic in New York and Philadelphia hal
subsidized. There seems great calm after a storm
But there will doubtless be great embarrassment
among very many firms, if not a great many fail
ures. There will, however, not be so much said
about them. Settlements must be made, and when
such firms as that Of Jay Cooke Il Co., call in
their outstanding bills with an unrelenting hand
as they will have to do, some breaking may be eX-
pected. The most of the Saving institutions that
expect run. have resolved to require notice of a
specified time; two weeks, or whatever their char
ter enables them to exact. This will give time for
reflection, aud perhaps be the means of restoring
confidence, and preventing the removal OF dePos-
its. In New York this rule was found to check
"runs" upon such institutions. 1t is said there
were no failures in New York yesterday, but the
Stock Exchange continued closed, and it is not
known confidently when 1t will reopen. Secre-
taTy Richardson is stated TO have expressed the
belief that the panic is ended, and there need be
no further apprehension OF trouble. The Presi-
dent will adhere to his policy, a. already Announ-
csd, and in this he has the approval OF many prom.
incnt fnanciers who were at first in favor of q
different course.
For the suspension of Messrs John McLear &
Son, Bankers, in this city, we hear nothing but
sympathy expressed, aud confidence that they
will soon be able to 60 on again with thoiE busi.
meas as usual.
