A newspaper correspondent who seems
to have means Of knowing of what he spesk:
says of the disagreement between Henry
Ward Beecher's church and those of Messrs
Storr. and Budding.e,.:
ct il the s.i:lsd determination of Mr..
Rnddington aud his associates TO press the
Beecher matter to a council. Tins affair has
already produced disastrous social eject.
In a community remarkable FIR its peaceful
relation Of churches, one with another, lines
of alienation have been run that geners,ion
will not oblitsrate. Life long friends have
been slienated, and angry discussions are
heard In the cars, on the boats, in restiu-
rants, and in all the social circles in the city.
The three pastors are moving along by q
correspondence toward private settlement,
which is not nj all probable. If council il
called, Drs. Storrs and Buddineton will not
have it all their own way. They will be
arraigned for the violation of Congregational
Law and usage throughout the whole of the
Plymouth Church matter; for liturgicai ser
vice and un-Congresationsl usage in vor-
ship; for dropping members without tEial
and Tor various practices that furnish social
scandal just now to the city. The whole af-

Says the Boston Gazette and with truth
Every kind OF party without dancing, is
now called 'kettledrum, and as it is a
pretty title il will have to stand hard usage
in these days Of small dissipation. The
kettledrum pure and simple, was intrOdu ced
here several years ago, and has suddenly he
come fashionable in name. Ii you wish
to give a real 'ketfledrum,' invite your
friends, from TO 3, and give them nothing
but tea and cake. Ladies' are expected to 20

The French cooks ball in New York
was fine stair in many respects. But COM
icaliiy and cookery combined did much to
make the occasion hilarious and happy.
Among the table furnishments was a cooked
bass swimming In an ocean of frort work,
and having for its rider big lobster gotten

mittraiileuse on the table made of boned tur-
key. and served BY = battalion of cooked
squirrels. at whose head, a. captain, was a

was no end Of similar funny flights of fancy
to show that cookery is not necessarily an
ill-tempered profession.

The Lawrence yopRoi thus describes the
death Of the bill to remit tax-penal,ics:
The senate on Friday put a quie.us on the
bill renting the tax penalty on delinquent
taxes. In committee of the whole the bill
was 50 amended as to provide, by way of
equalizjng matters, for the repayment of
is1e. 10 those who had paid before the pen
al;y accrues. la this shape the bill was vo-
ted down by the decisive vote OF yeas to

son, and the senate deserves the thanks OF
the people for saving the credit and the
financial soundness Of the state.

TON SCOTS PREsSUxE.

Rumor now says that Colonel Tom Scott,
of Pennsylvania, is organizing a powerful
lobby in Washinct %, his main object being
to secure land subsidy for his Southern
Pacific Railroad project. As an organic II
and leader of lobby forces. he ha. no supe-
rior in the country, and since his situation
il desperate, he will not hesitate to employ
his entire skill and energy to carry his OBJ.
sc,ive point. II he fails to get the desired
Government aid, his grand railway pro-
iect will be in imminent danger of defeat
However much we should prefer to see the
road extended to SanDiego, We trust that the
Government will not make itself responsible
Tor the compapy's Indebtedness. The past ex-
perience of the United States with Pac;fc
railroad, has not been of a .ha1acser TO
greatly encourage future endorsement OF
bonds.
The Chicago Jgunol referring to Col.
SCOTS scheme gives the following outline OF
the lobby campaign, and the probable re-
suits, if the subsidy plan succeeds:
The first move on the part of Scot was to
see how many other interests he world have
to combine with his own. The first partner
taken into the arrangement was the North
ern Pacific. The second was the general
monopoly ring, opposed to all legislation
looking toward the regulation of commerce
by rail among the several States by Con-
gress. Sill another interest is the Washing
ton or District of Columbia improvement;
ring. Perhaps the pool" contains other
combinations, but We are unable to hear of
any others. These are quite enough. They
are kindred rascalities, and whether coming
"singly or in bat:alions," should be fought
to the death.
The bonds already issued in aid OF Pacific
railway companies foot up (the principal
S64, 62i, 5l2, all drawing interest AT the rate
of elk per cent. per annum. The govern
mept did not directly issue those bonds. At
the time of their iseue, twelve and ten years
ago, il was stoutly claimed that the actual
payments required of the government would
BE- very small, and soon repaid. The United
States has already paid interes; 70 the
amount Of So, 3S6, 69l 62. The country
has had a surfeit of that kind OF thing.
Scott may sugsr-coat the pill how he will,
but be can deceive no one. Every body
knows that every bond which the govern
men, should in any way endorse would have
to be paid, principal and interest, by the
government. The prcjec, should be voted
down. in Whatever way brought forward,
and by whomsoever endorsed.
