A NEW YORK special to the Louis
UiLLe CoiTier-Journal thus explains the
s5atH quo of the Brooklyn scandal, and
Ben Buffers part therein:
1t is now currently believed here that
Butler and MoultOn have been playing
n deep and sly game on both Beecher
and Tilton. MOulton is Buffers fnan-
cial partner. Butler is Moulton's po-
litieal partner. Last winter Butler
stood between MOultOn, Jayne q Co.
and harm at Washington. MoultOn is
known to be a sworn friend and col
league Of Butler. Beecher, and
the Beecher party an Massachu
sets have been Butler's bit
terest enemies. 1t is now ru-
mored that the two have come to an
understanding. Beecher is to sell ont
10 Butler, and Butler is to cause Moul-
ton to vindicate Beecher, either by sac
rifcing TiltOn, or by bringing about
an arrangement with TiltOn. This will
account for Beecher'S demand upon
Moulton to tell all he knows. The
Beecher Committee have been fighting
for time IN the hope of bringing about
this arrangement. Moulton has been
keeping out of the way to increase the
value of his assistance to the Beecher
party. In day or two all will be well,
and Mr.. Beecher expects to be acquit-
ted by Tilton s own witness and referee.

NINE million three hundred thou
sands Of dollars is the small sum which
the Arkansas Convention proposes to
repudiate. There seems to be good
ground to believe that most Of the
bonds which were issued on the loans
included in the proposed reputation
were fraudulently issued. 1t Is never
theless sad to reflect on the state Of So
ciety which renders such dishonesty in
high places possible. Arkansas will do
well to weigh carefully the results of
her action on her credit.-Ne,C York

The Health of Queen Victoria. Il

LONDON, November IA, 1S74.-
There was ramor yesterday that the
Queen had suddenly falleu ill-an at
tack of apopieSy was supposed--and
was In dangerous condition. In the
evening the Prince Of Wales, who had
been shooting over Mr. Villebois' estate
in Norfolk, at short distance from his
own place at Sandripgham, arrived
suddenly in town, instead Of going
home, aud this was thought to give
confirmation to the report. This NOR
ming, however, it has been positively
contradicted By the Times, which says
that it is quite unfouuded, aud that
there are no grounds for anxiety re-
speeding her Majesty's health How
the story originated it is Of course im-
possible to say, but it is suspected that
there must he some foundation for it.
A generally robust state of health is
quite CONSTANT with the sort of attacks
to which the Queen is liable, and which
at any moment assume an alarming
form. and her unusually prolonged So
jouru in the Highlands this year, es-
pecially at time when she has an I'M
peral relative and guest in London,
has already caused a good deal of spec
ulation 1t is stated that she is not to
return south till next Saturday, and it
seems to be thought doubtful whether
she will come even then. An impress
sion has, therefore. got abroad that
there may be something in the state of
Her Majesty's heaita which has led
her medical attendants to recommend
continuance Of her retirement in the
North. 1t would seem, however, that
there is no reason to assume physical
weakness on her part as she has been
driving about good deal at Balmoral,
and has also paid more than one visit
to her favcrite retreat on the desolate
shore of Loeb Mulch, one of the wild
est and most secluded parts of the
Scotch Highlands Here she escapes
altogether from even the very moderate
state ceremonial Of Balmoral, and can
go out walking, riding, boating or
sketching at pleas ure, beyond the reach
Of human eyes, for there are only three
or four cottages, the residences of game
keepers and shepherds, in the whole of
the whole glen. and it is rarely visited
by strangers. 1t is In one Of the game
keepers cottages that the Queen puts
up when in this quarter. The rumor
of yesterday may perhaps be regarded
as indicating the existence Of appre-
tensions rather than any actual serious
fulfilment of them.
