Plymouth Church Stands by its Pastor.
NEW YORK, June 29.-Rev Dr. Fulton of
Brooklyn preached yesterday upon the law of
forgiveness as applied to the Beecher- TiltOn
affair, holding that he who. once has for
given an injury and then again re-opens his
grievances, could not expect forgiveness from
God
Prof Raymond, one of the most intimate
friends of Beecher, and Superintendent of the
Plymouth Sunday School, whose scholars were
addressed by Mr.. Beecher yesterday afternoon,
states that the whole of Plymouth church have
lost none of their faith in Beecher and none of
any course he pursnes, Mr.. Raymond says,
IF Mr.. Beecher were to open his guns on Til
ton he would sink his ship, and really though
he would rather let the matter drop with con-
tempt, there is now feeling of anxiety that
settlement should come. Whoever may suffer,
it will certainly not be Mr. Beecher. What he
means to do do not know. but if his legal ad
viSers or prominent executive members of the
church were also to advise him to open his
mouth, 1 believe he might be prevailed upon to
do it,
A Denial from MIR. West.
Mr. West. member of Plymouth church,
writes letter to Rev. DR.. Bacon, denying GER
tain charges against HIM by Mr. Tilton, and
says he made the charges against TIltonf or the
purpose of purifying the church and putting an
end to the scandal which troubled it. The
charges, although adopted by the examin-
ing committee in July last, were not sent to
Tilton until last October, and West states were
simply to vndicate net to investigate the pas
tor.
The Banks and the New Law.
The Posts financial article says that the
week opens in Wall street with a istrong mar
ket for securities and lower market for gold,
foreign exchange being unchanged and money
easy. The national banks will probably con-
form to the new law in regard to placing with
the Treasurer of the United States legal ten
der notes to the amount of five per cent of
their circulation There is growing DISPOSE
ton among New York banks to withdraw en-
tirely frOm the national system and go into the
system which leaves to the managers of each
bank the responsibility for conducting its af
fairs wisely and prudently, and which docs not
hamper them with restrictions which. imply
that they are either incapable or untrustwor
thy. If the New York usury law could be re
pealed, banking in New York under the state
law would be as nearly free as possible, and the
usefulness of our banks would be greatly en-
larged @ta IA
A Sensation Spoiled.
The story published in one of the morning
journals that there was danger of Mill River
disaster in this city by the breaking away of
the Croton reservoir, is dissipated by the re-
port of engineer Tracy to the Commissioner of
Public Works. in which he says there is no
ground whatever for such a rumor, and init
mates that it had its origin with detective de-
string to make trouble.
Erie Rnmers.
The Express says "the talk in Erie circles
make the retirment of seven old directors
probable and the following new names are
more than possible: Thos. Scott H. j. Jewett,
John A. G. Gray, Charles Grant of the Loco
motive Works, HI. G. Stebbins, S. N. Wood
ward, and Marshall o. Roberts, to take the
places of Messrs. Duncan, Iselin, Hart Watson,
Shfften, BrownEand Babcock The election
will take place July IA. The above ticket is
supposed to be satisfactory to Commodore
Vanderbilt and in harmony with the trunk
lines.
Killed by Cars.
The killing of Mr.. A. G. Squier, prominent
citizen of Brooklyn, at the depot of the Penn
sylvania Railroad was due to the fact that a
lightning train went through the depot with
out Stacking speed. Mr Squier was an at
tache of the Interior Department last year,
and was one of the party detailed to locate the
Modocs. His relations will institute a suit for
heavy damages, as the train which ran over
him was in violation of both state and NUM-
cipal laws. He leaves four children.

Immense crowds visited the sea Shore fish
ing banks, parks, islands and every available
place outside the city yesterday.
