PLYMOUTH CHURCH DESCRIBED. -
Gath, in his interview with Tilton,
thus drew him out in photograph of
Plymouth Church:
''What ie Plymouth Church, any
way2" said I. WELL" said Tilton,
sit isl kind of club house, with female
attendants. There are about 1900
members. There are also about fifty
very rich and cordial men in the
church, who look on it in the light of o
social club. They are generally
worldly men, who like Reecher and
the snappy smartish things he has to
say, his humor and his company; and
they put up their money, rejoice in
the institution. and otherwise play
poker, go to the theatre. or what not.
Beecher is magnificent preacher,
full of things which touch the sensibil-
tiles of people, and vast mass of
women 60 there for their souls to be
comforted and made good. Now, put
these two elements together, the
warmth and belief of all these women,
the wealth and public spirit of those
men, and you can make. in detached,
dullish town like Brooklyn, on institu-
ton equal to merchants exchange.
There are plenty of men belonging to
Plymouth Church who do not care
whether Beecher is q debaucher or
not"

II In

The ClarksuiHe Chronicle of the 11th
gives expression to its sensible views as
follows: 1.-THE November elections are
attracting undue attention atthis time.
We do not mean to intimate that they
are not of the first Importance, or I'M
worthy of the gravest considerations;
but sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof Let us dispose of the August
election first, and so prepare and con-
duct the campaign as tomake that elec-
ton subserve the cause of wisdom and
harmony in the conduct of the other.
There is ample time between August
and November to adjust all prelimina-
ries for the fall campaign, and evil may
result from a premature effort to dis
tract the undivided attention that
ought to be given to the August cleo
ton. To the people, as citizens of
counties, it is of greater practical i'm
portance than the November election,
in as far as it more directly concerns
their domestic interests, and all good
government must be based upon that
at home, for families are miniature
States. "-Memphis Ledger.

mAyNARD,s CUHHEscY BILL.

We publish elsewhere the full text of
the currency bill elaborated by the
House Banking Committee, and spoken
of IN this latitude as Maynard's bill.
The main idea of this measure, as
shown in the second section, isto attain
imitation, not exactly by free banking,
but by free national banking, without
limit of circulation. In this respect it
has the merit of leaving the amount of
currency to the law of supply and de-
mand; but does so at the expense to the
people of increasing the present bank
monopoly indefinitely. The House
passed this bill on Tuesday, the l4th,
and only an hour later passed the Sen
ate bill which distinctly limits national
bank circulation to 800, Oe0, 900, or an
addition of S46,OOG,O 600 to the $751;
100000 now outstanding. In other
words, n hour the House legislates
that there shall be no limit to these
bank notes, and the next hour it legis-
lates that there shall be a limit. Such
is the "delberation" of the House,
after four months and a half Of fnan-
cial discussion. Thus the only free
banking feature of this so-called
free-banking scheme is already
negatived in the House Of its friends.
There are other features of Maynard's
bill which we are satisfied would never
have passed the House except with the
certainty of being killed in the Senate;
for instance, the first section changing
the basis of the lawful money reserve
from the banks circulation to its de-
posits. There are a few features of the
bill which do not conflict with the Sem
ate bill already gone to the President,
and which ought to be adopted as an
alienation of the present monopoly.
We refer to the provision in the third
section that the costs eff engraving,
printing, redemption, ETC., shall
be reimbursed to the Treasury
by the banks. Another and more
important feature is that presented
in the fifth section requiring the banks
to keep the bulk of their reserves in
their own vaults. We are OF opinion
that this provision would tend, more
than any other measure that has been
seriously considered by either house,
to distribute the currency and keep it
distributed, instead of accumulating
in New York to feed unhealthy specu-
lation. This may perhaps be set down
as a suficing reason for expecting its
defeat by the Senate. Radicalism, like
dreams. goes by c~ontraries.

YESTERDAY the House of Represent
atives passed an act for which the Re-
publican party must expect the prompt
and grateful Acknowledgements of the
country. 1t was an act of REFORM 1t
vas a measure of economy! 1t was a
positive act of retrenchmentl 1t abol-
ishes " mileage" and proposes instead
to pay to Congressman their actual
travelling expenses, thus saving at the
spigot while losing at the bung; in
other words, saving a few dollars in
the item Of mileage-good as far as
it goes-while hundreds of thousands
go in the way of moieties, Sanborn and
ring contracts and the like. 1t was
passed by an overwhelming majority.
Thus, to those of the Republican team
who manifest a disposition to balk and
kick, Congress seems to say: "Now,
you discontented fellows, hat have
taken it into your heads that there is
no reform, see what we have doneI See
what a proof of stern integrity and Sc
we're virtue! Open your eyes, look, and
then say whether your party is going
to the dogs!" The work of reform
has been commenced, Where will it
strike next?

aINsCRUTABLE'' JOURNALISM.

The Nashville Banner and the Mem
phis AraLanche think it would be a
good thing to 'bridge the bloody
chasm'' in Tennessee by electing B..
F. Cheatham Governor and A. John
son United States Senator.-Chattd-
nOOga Times.
We are a pretty constant reader Of
the Banner, but we have seen nothing
in its expressions of opinion to indicate
that such was the tendency Of its
thought. Possibly a scarcity of read
ers of its own thoughts has provoked
our contemporary to undertake to read
the thoughts of others with such reck-
lessness. We donot object to "bridg-
ing of chasms," but our Chattanooga

nation in this premature leap to con-
illusions, strikes US as a futile reach

REPORTS come from Chicago that
there are an unusually large number of
business houses and dwellings for rent
IN that city. The natural effect of such
a condition of things would be a fall in
rents, and such we note is the case in
Chicago. The Tribune of thel2th inst.
says:
"That rents have been ending down.
wards is true. = = = Houses
above 5000 a year are at adiscount, and
the higher the former rent the greater
the reduction. Tenants who pay $1,000
this year, can retain the same premises
for $500; those paying $1,000 will only
pay $1,000; those paying Sl,500,Sl,200;
those paying $1,000, $500; those pay
ing $4,000, $500, and so on"

A -RING-RIDDEN STATE.

A citizen of Aiken, South Carolina.
| gives, in a communication to the Ne1
York Tribune, which is printed in an
other part of this paper, some insight
into the manner in which that State is
ruled in the name of the Republican
party. He places the responsibility for
the reformation of this misrule upon
the leaders and journals Of hat party
in the North. If they would take a de-
cided position and speak out in con-
demnation of the robbery perpetrated
in the name of their party, a reforma-
ton could at once be wrought in South
Carolina. The white voters of that
State are in a hopeless minority, and
while the negro voters are held together
by leagues and clubs organized for that
purpose by the ring-masters who have
controlo of the machinery of government
IN all its ramiications throughout
the State. there is no chance for Just
and economical government. The
spell" of the ring masters must
be first broken, and the correspond
ent of the Ne,U York Tribune,
himself a Republican, evidently, asserts
very positively that that can only be
done by the leaders and journals of the
party in the North. The must strike
the blow which is to unshackle the
white men, the property-holders and
taxpayers of South Carolina, and
drive the robbers from the high carni-
val they have held for years in that
State. The inability of the white peo-
pie to inaugurate reform will be fully
appreciated when it is remembered
that they are in the majority in only
about one-third of the counties in the
State, but in the most Of these there is
a sufficient Republican vote to turn the
scales in favor of the carpet-bag and
native ring-masters. The genius of
misrule is carried to such an extent
that the white people, "native here
and to the manner born" are practi-
cally disfranchised, fOrthey are allowed
to fill no Offices where their influence
will tell for good. This is forcibly H.
Illustrated in the congressional appor-
tionment act. The first district con
tains 56,014 whites and S2,426 color
ed residents. In the second, or Charles
ton district, there are HOPS whites,
and 1861 colored. In the third,
66,4I9 whites and 1888 colored. In
the fourth, 1888 whites and 1929
colored. In the fifth, 44,S36 whites
and SO, Jos colored. The total popula-
ton of the State is 2S0,667 whites and
AIS, S14 colored-the majority of the
latter being 126, 147. If Incorporation
of votes is one in five of the popula-
ton, the colored majority at the polls
must be about $4,000. The Charleston
Courier complains that the districts
have beenoutrageously gerrymandered,
geographical position being made
wholly secondary to the interests of
the colored voters. 1t viii thus be
seen that it will require a large immi-
grafton TO give the white element the
control of the State, a thing that IAN
not be accomplished under several
years, and only then probably by
breaking the powerful influence which
the present corrupt leaders exercise
over the negroes of that State. The
Of South Carolina is certainly
any thing but inviting.

The Rochester Democrat, a Republi-
can organ in Western New York,
says:
1.-The Republican press loves the
Republican party. Therefore, it says
and In what it says we heartily join
If Richardson is In the way he must
be gotten out of the way, either volun-
tarily or involuntarily. If this be
treason to the party, what is fealty?
There can be no question from re-
cent developments that he is a
stumbling block of very considerable
size in the path of the Republican
party, but how are the Republicans to
get rid of him? The NelD York
Tribune of the 18th inst. says: "Wash-
ington dispatches say that the Presi-
dent has no intention of Immediately
making any changes in the Treasury
Department on account of recent de-
velopments in the Sanborn inquiry.
This determination, however, need not
necessarily be the result Of the Presi-
dent S desire to save Messrs. Richardson
and Sawyer, who have been SO damaged
by the Investigation. 1t is said that he
considers these gentlemen good fell
lows who have lost all their friends
but himself. Perhaps, then, heprefers
that they shall stay IN Office until they
shall have been presented to the Sen
ate under articles of impeachment by
the House. Neither the Secretary nor
his Assistant can afford to resign now.
VIII the House take up their Ease and
consider it forthwith" OF course the
House viii do nothing of the kind. On
the contrary, the two-thirds Republi-
can majority of that body will do what
ever is necessary to whitewash Treas
ury officials who have acquired so bad
eminence through the developments
of the Sanborn investigation.

JUDGE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Holt,
in a recent report, said that the num-
Der of records of military courts re-
ceived, revised, and registered in his
bureau for the fiscal year was 1883 !
The Ne1U York Sun says this is stun
ningly suggestive, and asks: What
must be the condition of an army of
10000 men in which so many courts
martial are held in a period of twelve
months? If this justice was evenly
distributed through the force, w half
the officers and men in the army had
committed crimes and were put on
trial"

In the Supreme Court Of the United
States Chief Justice Waite delivered a
very important opinion On the 18th
inst, In a case from the Northern Dis
trict Of Illinois, the question being the
right Of the Legislature of a State to
tax the shares of capital stock of a ma
tional bank at other places than at the
residences Of the owners The lower
court held that the shares were per-
sonal property, and their situs wasfxed
by the residence of the owners but the
Supreme Court holds that the Legisla-
ture has power to fix the situs of the
shares at the place where the bank is
located, if it so desires.
