A CONG CONTROVERSY.

The council which assemblies at Brooklyn
tomorrow is likely to give new era to
American Congregationalism. 1t has always
been claimed by the friends of this particular
form of church government that it more nearly
embOdies the republican idea in ecclesiastical
polity than any other existing order. The fun
damental principle of COngregatiOnalism, apart
from all matters of religious creed, is the abb
sOluts Independence of the individual church.
Discipline is little known inside of each brother
hood, each organization protesting to be guided
by the precepts laid down in Matthew xviii. In
verses IS, 10 and II of that chapter, it is pro-
vided that an offending brother shall be first
demonstrated with in love by his brethren;
and If he proves unrepentant, the church shall
be told of his fault, and continued perversity
shall work his exclusion from the brotherhood.
"Let him be unto thee as heather man and
publican are the words of the Savior. Like
unto this Is the bond which unites the several
churches known as Congregational. In all
matters of special Importance, as the settle
ment or dismissal of o pastor. or an
unusual commotion in the brotherhood.

of the Custom, house, and legitimate and hon
orable commerce out of the city If thorough
change ia not enforced at once. Merchants OF
all classes are convinced of this, and no great
difference of sentiment is likely to be observed
at the meeting.
Our leading importers. however, should I'M
derstand that q great deal may depend upon
the part they take on Wednesday night. The
danger is that Congress, misled rs to public
opinion, or influenced by the official lobby
which has 30 vast an interest In leaving
things as they are, may temporze with the
difficulty, and attempt few paltry paliatives
instead of a radical cure. The merchants of
New-YOrk ought therefore to state their de-
mands with the greatest possible emphasis
and unanimity. No man has any business 70
hold back on the ground that he has never
had any difficulty with the Custom-hOuse or
any personal experience of the injustice OF the
law. The lucky and tho unlucky have
q common interest in this reform. What
was one mans fate yesterday will be anOther's
tomorrow. William E. Dodge was forty
years in business before he had any trouble
with tho Custom-house, and if he had been
asked, the day before his books. were seized,
whether he thought the revenue laws needed
revision, he would perhaps have answered, az
may be few comfortable gentlemen do now,
that the laws were well enough and an honest
man need not fear molestatiOn. Reform now
has nverything in its favor. Public opinion is
aroused. Congress is elldisposed. The
moiety party is demOralzed. United action
by the merchants will give the movement an
impetus that must carry it on to victory.

Scarcely beginning has been made in the
District of Columbia investigation but the
rascality is coming to the surface. On Satur-
day witness found himself troubled with
questions leading to the discovery of the
real estate pool" of which we have
heard something before now. This ring bought
real estate in unimproved parts of the city =;
when they had secured their lots at low rates,
the Board of Public Works extended its prov
idence over that region of territory in the
shape of sewers, pavements and grading.
Hence a great rise in real estate. The
men who formed the ring bought for
mysterious persons who remained in the back
ground. One of these trustees, when asked on
Saturday for whom he bought, refused to
give up the name of his principal. One of the
local organs of the ring says, with great as
perity. that it supposes the recalcitrant wit
ness will go to the "cOal-hOle." The inves-
tigatng committee have evidently struck a

We print this morning fair summary OF
some of the difficulties under which the COM
snerce of the country struggles. 1t is not too
much to say that the exactions which have
been laid upon the importing trade, under the
form of law, have been the work OF
conspiracy. These exactions have been aug
mented steadily and stealthily; by degrees the
consprators have built up the vast structure
known as moiety and seizure laws. A repeal
ing act to be effectual must include numerous
statutes. coming down as late as 1871. The
whole system, which is no part of the revenue
system, but noxious and unwholesOme fungus,
must be inteigently examined and destroyed.

One of the most remarkable contributions to
the temperance discussion yet elected is the SER
mon Of DR.. Howard Crosby, preached yester-
day morning, and reported (not so fully as we
could wish) on the fourth page of this mornings
TRIBUNE. DR.. Crosby dissents entirely from
the common view of the drunkard as O person
to be pitied, and would treat him instead as
a criminal to be punished. He regards the
keeping of tippling shops as equally criminal !;
and finally charges the total abstinence party
with serious responsibility for the drunken
ness of the land through reaction provoked
by their preaching false gospel. These are
doctrines more frequently heard elsewhere
than in Presbyterian pulpits, and the Doctors
logical and compact presentment of them will
certainly provoke hot denunclations on the
one hand. and command wide approval on the
other.

II seems that the Senate Finance Committee
have a new scheme to lay before Congress
to-day. IL is proposed to substitute for the
pending bill one which provides for the issue
of $104, 100000 of National currency in place
of $S2,OOO,OOO of greenbacks to be retired
This would give an initiation of $22,5OO,OOO
which is less than the regular infationists
demand, and more than prudent men will be
willing to see authorized by Congress. There
is not. however, 30 much peril in the pos
sibility of the passage of this bill as there Is
in its interminable discussion. The Senate
will change the figures; but the country must
suffer while it is talking about what change
shall be made.

. Most of the attacks on Controller Green In
Mr. John Foley's paper fall to the ground the
moment they are examined. On one point,
however, the Controller is defenseless. 1t is
impossible to present any decent excuse for
the employment of person like Mr..

Mr.. Hawkins is a curious compound OF credu-

my own inclin alton, and to accept the
