The Whiskey Frauds,

Washington, November ). The despatch that
the grand jury at st. Louis had found indictments
against parties, and mentioning as included in
these indictments the LANES of General Babcock
and Mr.. Orville Grant, created intense excite
menl here, and many applications from different
quarters were made to The department of jsstice,
treasury department and executive mansion for
information regarding the report. Attorney Gen.
Pierrepont, who has been kept thoroughly ad-
vised by the United States Attorney at St. Louis
as to the progress of the whiskey fraud case III
all details and developments, received two tele-
grams, yesterday, giving the names of parties who
had been indicted, bpt in no case has any susion
been made to General Babcock or Mr.. Orville
Grant. 1t Is the opinion of cabinet officers here
that there have been such indictments. Hon.
Buford Wilson, solicitor of the treasury, makes
substantially the same statements as the ATTORNEY
General. Ba ,cock this morning merely remarked
that ne will MT take any notice Of the report m
less il should be verified.

WORK OF THE 1ycENDIARY.
Attempt TO Burn the Village of Winthrop

A most distardly attempt was made yesterday
morning, to burn the village of Winthrop. Be-
tween three and four o'clock, boarder at the
Winthrop House, had occasion to rse, and look
ing from his window saw that the boot and shoe
mandatory Of Col. Wing, opposite, was in flames
lie gave the alarm, and soon force was on the
ground and the fire was speedily pu. ont, and a
great confiagration avelted.
Without doubt the fire was the work of an in
cendiary. Between the shoe manufactory Of Col
Wing and the two story building Of II. 6. Nor
ton, runs gutter, which had been filed with kero-
scne oil, and the oil ignited. 1t had run down to
the large three story building of Col Wing, and
set that on fire. The fire had got almost inside the
building before it was extinguished Two tramps
were seen about the place the day before, and it is
supposed they are the guilty parties. meeting
was to be held last evening, called by the fire
wardens, to devise some method of protection
against incendiarism.
We have the following additional particular
from our Winthrop correspondent:
\ small fire was discovered in the southwest
corner of Col. c. A. Wings shoe shop, near the
ground. There can be no doubt of its being set
by an ircendary. Herbert Blake Ton the oppo-
site side OF the street, happeoeu 10 awake at lhat
hour and got up to shut down hi1 window, when
between two buildings he saw a small fire. He
Immediately gave the alarm to the watchman OF
the Winthrop Mills Co., and also to the owner Of
the building. The fire having burned but a
few minutes, was quickly put out. Had II burned
half an hour more, it would have rendered the
whole side of Main street beyond the probability
of being saved. Some pieces OF woolen cloth
were found saturated with kerosene oil. The only
clue that has been found was the sudden depart
ure at an early hour of the same day, OF two
tramps or strangers who had been stopping at
Winthrop for two or three days past. They were
suspicious and hard looking fellows and went
toward Augusta. The persons who did the work
are supposed to be men out of town. They may
have been city rogues, who set fire to the build
ing forthe purpose Of plunderng, or persons who
have a mania for causing misery, like Nero of
old. 1t was not done by Winthrop people, for
two reasons. One is that Col Wing has per-
sonal enemies, and if he had no one there would
injure Mr.. Wing when it would cause great dam
age to dozens Of others The village is not at
present supplied with a watchman or fire appara-
lus, and this and other narrow escapes call loudly
for speedy preparation against fire, robbery and
general disorder.

Rall0mell local Nems.

Morse has been taking views Of local interes
from some Of his old negatives, aad among them
one of the Hallowell and Chelsea bridge, as it ap-
peared in the days of its glory. That beautiful
structure was not fairly appreciated until after its
destruction. Shall we ever see the like again
Morse has also views, recently taken, of Wilder's
oil cloth Establishment, and other manufacturing
localities in the city-true to art and nature.
One of the most apt illustrations of the preva-
lence Of "villainous moDopolies" that we hear so
much about occasionally, occurred at Atlanta,
Ca, recently, as the story goes, when an honest
Cid granger approached the atfable young man
who adorns the general delivery window of the
post-offce and asked: "Is there any letter here
for the Griggses !" The young man o., shntied
for the Stebbinses:" :" The young man counted
the rs" deck and said mo, sir!" 'Well, any
for the Bunces p and the old put on his specs
TO see for himself. The young man famed the
OBS" out and again said mo, sir" Then who
in thunder is all them thar letters and pigeon
holes for, anyhow, BY gum !" ripped out the in.
dignant old man; and before the young man had
time to reply the old granger was shufiling down
the street swearing that "This here postotce is a
blamed mernopoly, like everything else these
days" That old chap was quite as sensible as
many of his fellow descendants of Ishrnacl i'll
various parts Of the country.
We learn that lady of this city, on the even
ing Of the disappearance of Miss Capp OF Au-
gusta heard carriage pass her residence at about
II o'clock, and distinctly recognized the voice of
lady, proceeding apparently from the carriage,
in tones indicating either pain or distress of body
or mind. This circumstance may afford slight
clue to the uuravelling of the painful mystery
weighing upon the entire community at the
present time.
The erection Of a new dwelling house on Water
street, north of the residence formerly owned and
occupied by the late Elias Bond, Esq, gives tina,
locality busy appearance about this time.
We may confidently look for few days of de
li2httnl Indian summer weather, before the tnal
advent of winter.

Trouble Brewing In Plymouth
Church.


New York, November s. There were extraord
mary proceedings in church matters in Brooklyn
last night. Moody upbraded protesting Chris
tians for lack of earnestness IN revival work.
Action Of great interest was taken at Plymouth
Church and the Hanson Place Baptist church. At
Plymouth Church a committee reported in favor
of dropping from the roll of the church the name
of Deacon West, saying the latter would not OPP
pose such a procee ding, as he had sad that he
was accordingly dropped.
The same committee reported recommends
ton that the name of Mrs Emma Z. Moulton be
dropped from the roll. Mrs. Moulton was pres
ent, accompanied by Gen. Pryor as counsel, and
through him presented a letter in which she stated
that the first intimation she had of any action
contemplated by the church, was the announce
ment by one of the committee that her name was
to be dropped, and she protested against any such
action, as she mad been deprived of any hearing
whatever before the committee. 1t having been
stated that her name was TO be dropped an count
of her continued absence from the church, she re-
piled as follows:
"My absence is an enforced one, and is caused
by the crime of adultery committed by Henry
Ward Beecher, pastor OF this church, with one OF
his Pensioners, which know to be fact, through
Mr.. Beecher's confessions to me, and through the
confessions of Mrs. Tilton, and through conclusive
evidence of the crime from other sources.
appear before this church in loyal obedience
to the summons which have received, and here
by declare my disposition and desire to dschorge
all the duties devolving on me as a member,
which are consistent with my knowledge of the
adultery of the pastor, and his false swearing wth
regard to it, NeIy respectfully,
EMMA {. MouLToN.
Brooklyn, n. Y, Nov 4, 1873.
The most impressive silence followed the read
ing of Mrs. Moulton's plea, and the moderator
then put the question. A Avote was taken, and the
name of Mrs. Moulton was dropped from the Ply
mouth church roll Of membership.
1t is alleged that the committee appointed by
the Congregational Association of New York and
Brooklyn to inquire into the truth falsty of the
charges against Bev. Henry Ward Beecher, will
enter upon the discharge of its duties at once and
hat this is the preliminary step towards dropping
Beecher's name from the list of Congregational
ministers.
