night, Mr.. Sherman, clerk Of the church
read communication which had beer
received from the joint committees of thl
Church Of Pilgrims and Clinton Avenue
Church, after which Mr.. Beecher rosl
and saia that he deemed 1t not inappfo;
pdateio take some steps for the purpose
0fmaking reply t6this letter. He had
asked some Of the brethren to draw
up a reply, and he had also drawn
up q letter oil reply which be
would Feapsst Professor Robert Raymond
to tead, and ask this meeting and mem.
bers Of the Committee to forward to
the Committees OF the two Churches
Professor Robert Raymond then read a
reply TO the COMMUNICATIONS oil the Com.
mite ot the Church Of Pilgrims and Gin.
ton Avenue Church. The reply admits
the difference between the Congregation.
allsts of Plymouth Church and other
Congregational .'ohurches and claimS
that the foundation Of Plymouth
Church was effected toeprotest against
the domination Of Congregational
Ministers which had excited at the
time profound indignation among the
membersof Congregational churches, in
the city bf New York. Plymouth Church
has been governed by the majority of Is
members, while in neither Of the other
two, churches has, there ever been
heard the voice of! the Brotherhood in
In opener called assembly. The attitude
OF the Clinton Avenue Church, and the
Church of the Pilgrims in this controver-
sy is characterized as unwarrantable and
the Plymouth Church refuses to receive
any further documents whatever which
are not accompanied by positive proof
OF authority oil the whole brotherhood
Of Congregationalist churches regularly
and deliberately leoniersed, and they
decfneih any case 70 receive trOhFauy
church letters containing covert ! ,inu-
ations against any Of the members of Ply
mouth Church. Plymouth Church does
not decline to join in calling mutual
council, but will await less dubious in
vitation. ltclaimsthat Plymouth church
can make rules for It's own government
and still remain Congregational, and de.
clInes to withdraw from Congregational
fellowship. '''''
This reply was adopted and ordered to
be signed by the chairman and members
Of the committee and forwarded to the
Joint committees Of both churches.

What are the Prospects Of Real
Estate for 1874

In Wheeling and the surrounding
country there has been little Or no intia-
tion IN the price OF real estate property
for years past Both town lots and good
country property are considered cheap Of
compared with prices in other Vicinitiei
where the population is no greater. In.
deed, property around Wheeling Is, as o
general thing, held only slightly higher
today than II has been for ten years
past. There has been apparently very
little effort to run up prices. The ques-
tion now Is as to prospects during this
year. Is real estate likely to meet with
more favor hereafter than 1t has for
years past wf
The 81. Louis Democrat Is Of the opln-
ion that there Will be general rise in the
price Of real estate all over the country
during this year. II bases It's opinion on
The fact that the people are demoralizsd
in the matter Of stocks Of all kinds, and
especially railroad and bank stocks, owing
10 the shrlnksge in their value during the
panic and owing also to the numerous de.
Ialcatlons, irregularities" and bankrupt
cles that have been developed by the
panic. 1t remarks that you hear people
discussing the subject wherever you
travel in the cars these days, and their re.
marks show general distrust in the value
Of personal property as compared with
real estate. The old proverbs and say.
ings Of former days have come In vogue
sgain such as mo one can run away with
your acres;" "You know where to find
your corner lot" "The banks can't lock up
your pastures" "Money in land can't do
worse than stay there's" "Dirt always pays
per cent" "Your farm Is the only hon.
eat banker" "Clay banks are the best
savings banks" 1.-THE more you put into
the soil the higher interest 1t pays"
It seems to be conceded on all hands
that railroad building in this country has
received decided check for the present.
The securities Of such enterprises are in
bad odor among the capitalists Of Europe
and America. So many Of them have
deFaulted in the interest on their mortgage
bonds that there is now no disposition to
touch any more of them. This being the
case all new projects will have to slum-
Der in allegiance until this wide spread
distrust passes awaY,a a matter of years
perhaps. Meanwhile the people will turn
their attention to land again as present.

For some reason the entente cordial
hitherto existing between the Wheeling
Register and the Charleston Courier does
not seem SO entente, so to speak, as 1t
used to. What is the matterH The one
was formerly supposed to be merely the
tender Of the other, the tail Of its kite or
the kite oil its tail, and oiee UerSa. Now
we find the Register speaking of the
Courier as "a paper which is nothing un :
less it is denunciatory." Does this mean
that outside Of his ability to use billlngs-
gate WALKER after all amounts to
nothingH Ifao it must be construed as a
very unkind remark in the face Of his
eulogium on the Register in the Courier Of
the 29th. Perhaps he will qualify that
eulogium when he secs yesterdays Regis.

AboIishing Passes on Rail- Dads.

A number Of railroads centering at
Chicago and other points west have en-
tered into d compact TO cut of the dead
head system on their roads and issue no
more passes. Among these roads are the
Chicago s. Northwestern, the Illinois
Central, the Milwaukee & St. Paul, the
Rock Island road, and the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy, all powerful corpora
tions. They simply send Eve exchange
passes to each road and no more. They
have cut off even half.lare tickets to the
clergymen and put the editors on the re.
tired list. They have also turned their
backs on politicians Of all kinds, including
Judges, members Of the Legislature and
all other such doubtful characters.
This is good movement, or rather it
would bea good one III promised to hold
out. But it is quite likely that in a few
weeks, or months at most, one road will
discover that some other road has violated
the compact, and then down comes the
whole editice. Combinations are easily
got up and easily knocked to pieces. The
Nail men haYea combination for instance
that is sometimes good for a week, but
quite often not so long. r.,I's.-

Ohio and the Pennsylvania Rail.
road. i. ~ vFlg I
The Baltimore American Of Thursday
lnttmates that the present contest now
going on between these two companies Is
not likely to come to an end very soon,
A reporter of that paper called upon a
high official" Of the Baltimore & Ohio
road the day before and ascertained from
him that the company had no idea Of
Withdrawing from the position they had
taken' He states that the company was
Iully able to continue the war, and was
doing well enough TO be satisfied with
lhing5 as they are. The travel over the
Western line was heavy, and the company
could stand the pressure as long as any
one else. Dispatches from agents and
officials atall points, 1t Is alleged, brought
most favorable reports. (.
The American says that the reduced
rate for tickets has presented a golden
opportunity for the ticket spectators,
which they are not neglecting. So that
when the fare goes up again there will be
plenty Of cheap tickets for sale. The
Baltimore & Ohio tickets from Wheeling
70 Baltimore are good until used, while
those Of the Pennsylvania road eia Pitts
ourgh from this point are only good for
TWO days The latter tickets, however,
are sold for one dollar less than tho
former.
The Baltimore road as yet have no
a'thculty with their employees on the ques.
ton ot wages and donot expect to have
any The company, ever since the money
disorder Of the country made re-
uenchments necessary, have pursued the
policy Of reducing hours Of labor, bu,
continuing wages as they were previous.
~ This had cheertully been submitted d
to In nearly all cases. Last summer The
engineers in the employ OF the company
had made a demand for an increase q
twenty-five cents per day upon thel,
wages, but threatened no strike, The de.

The LATE JOHNS HoPKINs-The Bal
timore Bulletin says that this deceased
millionaire, worth several millions by thu
way, was in his time one Of the best
abused men in Baltimore, although what
for or whether rightiully or wropgfully
abused 1t does not say:
1--WE do not know when any other man
bearing the same relation that he did to Z
community, had so much Of ito abuse and
yituperation. In our experience he has
been the best.abused man we ever knew
though why we cannot tell"
1treally seems odd that the editor Of The
Bulletin should be so very ignorant. Il
appears to US that II we should hear citi.
zen Of Wheeling abused in such marked
degree we would have some dim idea at
least why people abused him.
The illustrious deceased Is now, how
ever, likely to be all right in public esti.
nation, seeing that he left SO many ducats
to the community in one shape or another.
Says the Buletin:
"Now, however, that Mr.. Hopkins Is
dead there will be q reaction Of popular
sentiment on this head. People will
learn something about his personal char.
acter that may surprise them. They will
shortly ascertain that he saved Baltimore
from pretty general bankruptcy during
the late panic by coming to the assist
ance OF hundreds Of tottering houses and
carrying them safely through the storm |;
that he sustained the credit OF the Balti.
more & Ohio Railroad Company by pro-
curing them the money to pay the last
dividend, and that dozens Of young mer-
chants and thriving firms owe their ex-
istence to the aid and encouragement
they got from Mr.. Hopkins. His public
charities we're among the greatest Of our
century, and Of his private aims he kept
the knowledge to himself. The public,
particularly now that he is dead, has to
do only with his public character; his
private Is no mans business. For aught
anybody knows, of his own knowledge, 1t
may have been excellent. .a
II we were employing an editor to
write complimentary notice of a dead
rich man we would request him not to
say that "for aught anybody knows, Of
his O~n kn0Olsdgs." the character of the
deceased "mRy have been excellent"

Not the slightest anxiety 10 ieIt at the
Navy Yard for the safety of the U. IS.
steamer Franklin. That vessel sailed
from Boston on the 23d Of December for
Key West, and under general instructions
from the Navy Department probably went
out under sail. II Is likely she may mot
reach her destination for a week to come,
as she no doubt put to sea to avoid the
Gull stream, and didn't encounter the
trade winds before reaching the southern
latitude. Her voyage has been slow, for
at this season Of the year the trade winds
are not fallen In with before getting very
far south, and as the course OF the vessel
was by Hole.in. the.Wall passage land
Providence channel, she IS not expected
at Key West before 121 or 141 days at
least from the time Of sailing. Again, the
Franklin had on board q green crew, and
some attention has probably been given
to their instruction instead Of going d.
rectly to Key West by the shortest route.
The United States has not lost iripate
built vessel since 1898. The InsurSent,
captured from tho French, was fitted out
and sent to sea but never heard from al.
terwards. Captain Simpson, who com.
msnds the Franklin, Is one Of tho best Off,
GERS in the Navy and skillful in nayiga-
