THE NEWS IN BRIEF.

OF CleYeldnO, nave Oecu pldCeu III SlASu-
lation IN the city of New York.
Prof. SeeleY, elected as an independent
candidate to Congress in Massachusetts,
is the author of "Ecce Homo" and a
man Of great learning and ability.
:. Last week, two buildings of the Ohio
s.. Reform Farm at Lancaster, were destroy
ed by fire; the work of an incendiary.
.slnce the fire one of the boys confessed to
the deed.
A coal bed at Pittsburg is on ERE. The
locality is covered with improved city
property. and it seems doubtful if any
power can quench the fire in time to pre-
vent the caving from above.
The women's National Temperance
Convention, assembled at I'd Presbyteri-
an Church, in Cleveland, on Wednesday
of the present week. The programme OF
exercises die not foreshadow any point
or subject of special interest.
The Pacific railroads have been pro-
nounced complete, and the part of the
land-grant held in reserve by the Govern
.ment has been released. The people are
beginning to feel that they have paid
roundly for these roads; if there is any
remaining obligation undischarged, it
does not belong 10 the Government.
A Boston dispatch says the Solicitor of
the Treasury, on the 18th, formally de-
manded OF the Treasurer of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, the five per
cent of the net earnings Of the road, from
Nov. 1869 to October 31st, 1874, making
$1,O5O,356 to be paid within the next six
~ days.
More troops have been ordered to New
Orleans. The Conservative Committee
probably has itself to thank for the pro-
ceeding. Had its protest against the
keeping of soldiers in Louisiana not been
made, the National Government would
have had more assurance than it has now
of peaceful disposition among the White
Leagues.
The New York Herald, devoted one
page on Monday of last week, in describ-
ing the horror and havoc, resulting from
the breaking away of the collection of
animals of the Central Park gardens N.
Y. No less than 1s persons. whose
names were given, were killed and mu-
tilated. An obscure note at the bottom,
declared that the whole thing was
hoax.
The Cleveland Leader calls the Cincin-
natl Express to account for having coun-
seled a bolt against Parsons, forgetting
its own conduct in 1878, and again last
spring, in advising the boiling of Repub-
lcan nominations. 1t would be well
enough to see whether our own hands
are clean before setting up as defenders of
the faith-political or other wise.
Elder Cannon's seat in Congress as
Delegate from Utah is contested on the
score of his polygamous relations, and it
will go hard with him. The Mormons |
ought to accept some compromise |
with the National Government. Any
thing in reason will be fayorbly enter
tanned. 1t is not in reason that one who |
places his religious obligations above the |
laws of his country should sit in the law |
making body. Persistent defiance Of
the Government will only hasten the
loom of Mormonism, which will come |
quite fast enough under til e most favora-
BILE circumstances. For the Mormons to
send polygamist TO Congress is to invite
the destruction of their church.
The Proctor -Moulton suit has develop |
ed rather rich morceau, already which
will be read with some interest as con-
nected with the expose which all are
looking forward to, to be made by a le-
gal investigation. 1t would seem to look
as if Edna's efforts to criminate Moulton,
had been blocked, and that her batteries
will need a new direction. Moulton's
answer to Miss Proetor's charge in sub
stance states-Tilton's letter laying
charges at Beecher's door, related to him
BY Bowen, among other things charg-
es criminal intimacy Z" with certain
woman" This was shown to Moulton,
who alleges that he did not know the
name of this woman, Until he aoas inform
ed By Mr. BescAsr himself Then, by his
advice, Beecher in order to shield himself
went to this woman and obtained from
her written denial of the charge, which
was gwen to him CMoultonl for safe
keeping. Unless Miss Proctor can re
fute Mr. Moulton's allegations, or if
them good by proof it is
evident that she should look TO Beecher
for the responsibility of the charges
made against her.
The house of Contractor M'KENzIE
now shows its full design, with the ex-
eeptOn Of some minor details. Both
porches are in place, and only need the
finishing touches of the brush, while the
is nearly in the same situa-
ton. The fine proportions of the build
Ing, the degree of harmony of detail in
the carrying out of the general plan, and !
The excellence of taste displayed in the
choice of colors and arrangement of them
in the painting, altogether, make about
rs faultless combination as anywhere TO
be met with. 1t is complete in STYLE and
elegance, Standing before it, the DELHI
