PLYMOUTH CHURCH comes forward
promptly and shows its devotion to
Mr., Beecher, and it's confidence in his
innocence by raising his salary from
$40, to 100000 for the ensuing
year. That this unprecedented salary
is mainly intended to defray the ex-
penses of the trial, is shown by the
declaration of one of the speakers at
the meeting, that the church would
show to the world that they could
spend millions in defense of their pas
tors innocence, ''but not one dollar
for blackmail or bribery. Post and
Mail.

pie, as the work of the Convention is
calmly and soberly reviewed, and the
ticket Is conceded by the Bourbons

strong. The dissension and SUITE
which they counted upon were wholly
absent, and there is a general feeling
among all parties that the Repnbli-

How IS THIS Gov. Allen, of
Ohio, said in his Newark speech, that
so per cent, of the members of Con-
gress were controlled by National
Bankers and bondholders." As a
majority of the members of. Congress
are Democrats, it would seem also
that majority of the Demo-
cratic party is controlled by
National Bankers and bondhold-
ers.

AFRICAN EXPLORATION.
Report OF Colonel Long, formerly of
Kentucky, at Present of the
Egyptian Army.

NEW YORK, February 13.-A letter
has been received here from Colonel
Charles c. Long, the great American
explorer in Africa, dated at GondOkOro,
April 20, 1874, stating that the writer
was commissioned by Colonel G. G. Cor
don, governOr-general of the provinces
of Equator, to visit the king of Ugunda,
and for which object he left Gondokoro
and reached Victoria Nyanza after fifty
eight days Of painful marching, and all
suffering from the jungle fever. The
king received Mr.. Long with courtly
powers, and on the following day, to
complete the honors, decapitated thirty
of his subjects. Long, after few days
sOjOurn, obtained the kings permission
to visit the lake. On his return the king
again decapitated seven of his subjects,
saying in broken Arabic: "It is neces-
sary to do so, because you wish to go by
the river Nile, but it pains my heart to
kill them" Long remained twenty
nine days as the guest of the king, whose
frequent visits to him were honOred by
the killing Of eight to ten Of his SUBJ
jects. The letter also describes Longs
explorations of Lake Victoria Nyanza
and elsewhere. When on his return from
the kings dominions his little band was
attacked by four hundred natives of an
other tribe, and after severe fight Long
was victorious, the Africans losing
eighty-twO killed.

TOM SCOTT.
HIS Reply 10 President Garrett, OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway Gar.
Kett Accused or Had Faith.

PHILADELPHIA, February 16.-Thos,
| Scott, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, has written 8 letter
in reply to the telegram Of President
| Garrett, Of the Baltimore and Ohio road,
After accusing Garrett Of demagOgue-
| ism and acting in bad faith with the
| officers Of other trunk lines in regard to
rates, Colonel Scott goes on to say: "As
far as this company is concerned, you
may rely upon it that we will protect the
business Of Philadelphia, and place Bal
timOre, New York and other points &C.
cessible by our lines on an equitable and
fair business basis. In all other matters
relating to transportation over our
own road, while we desire mod
crate rates for services performed, and
believing that it is best for the public
and for the interest of railway property
that this should be the case, we shall
always be ready to take care Of our
share Of the business of the country,
with rates and facilities equal to those
OF any other company. The lines from
Washington and Baltimore to and from
New York, over our road, shall be made
quite as perfect for the convenience of
the public from this date as they have
ever been at any time in the past. There
shall be no inconvenience whatever to
the public by reason OF your effort to
destroy the railway property of any
other parties. The Northern Central
railroad company will, during the pres
ent year, perfect its terminal facili-
ties at Baltimore so as to place that city
on full equality with others on the sea-
board, and it will be the duty and inter-
est of any company whose line
terminates here to give to
Baltimore line in every respect equal
both as to rates and facilities to any
that the Baltimore and Ohio may be
able to offer. 1t seems to me most un-
fair that you should attempt, by the
course indicated in your message, to CO.
cree other parties into a policy that
might result in great injury to the prop
erty they represent. II the measures to
be adopted by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company should produce the re-
suits that you anticipate, there will be
no difficulty in understanding the mo-
tives which prompted such a course;
and believe the railway officers and
stockholders that may be injured will
hold you, as president of the Baltimore
and Ohio road, responsible for this policy
of destruction. SO far as this company
is concerned, it is aOundantly able to
take care of its interests and its stock
holders"

| law approved by Governor Ames on the
| fifth instant, to amend article II, chap
ter %, Of the revised code of 1871. Sec
| ton first provides that the tax-collect-
ors shall present to the board of super
visors at their meeting on the first Mon
day in March of each year, a report of
all delinquent and insolvent Taxpayers,
instead OF the first Monday in January,
as provided for in section 1920, of the re-
vised code Of 1871. And the board of
| supervisors shall meet to receive and ex-
anime said report on the first Monday
| of March, as herein required; and a list
of such allowances as may be author
lied by the board shall be allowed to the
taX-c0llectOr by the auditor Of public
accounts and the county treasurer, in
his final settlement with them, and i'm
mediately after the auditor and county
treasurer shall have allowed such credit
to the collector, they shall re-charge him
with the amount of such insolvent and
delinquent lists. Said collector shall
retain a list of such insolvencies, and
proceed to collect the same, as provided
by section 1923 of the revised code of
1871. Section 2 says the tax-collector
must continue the collection of such in
tObeT following, when he shall present

quired by section 1920, OF the revised

isfied that due diligence has been used
on the part Of said collector, shall then

or delinquent taxes as remain uncol.
lected, and the clerk of the board of su.
perVisOrs shall make out and certify to
the list of allowances, and transmit the
same to the auditor Of public accounts,
and the auditor and county treasurer
shall give credit to the collector
for such allowances; and said col
lector shall be finally discharged
from any further responsibility con-
nected Herewith; provided, however,
that if at any time the collector can
find any property, real or personal, be-
longing to such ins0lvent or delinquent

on; said collector shall report and pay
over all collections on account of insOl-
vencies as other taxes collected by him.

ARKANSAS.
Presidential naturalization what ahe
Third Term Candidate Will Do.

New York World.
WASHINGTON, February lit will
be remembered that 4 week or two ago
the President visited the capitol and
sent for the Republican members Of the
Arkansas committee. 1t has Just trans
pired that the object of that visit was
virtually q mild intimidation of the
committee. Without asking Judge Po-
land, the chairman, what the commit
tee intended to report, the President
coolly informed him that he had decided
to send in special message to the SEN
ate declaring against the whole State
government, which he did on Monday
last. Judge Poland did not take the
hint, but reported last week that the
Garland government was legal, that
the new constitution was republican in
form, that the people were satisfied and
that peace prevailed throughout the
State. The President, however, sent in
his message, which a Republican men,
ber OF the house declared to-day he did
not believe Grant had any recollection
OF writing. Brooks, the bogus governor,
is in Washington, boasting that il con-
gress does not adopt the Poland report
the President will install him in Office
by force Of arms.
WHAT GRANT WILL DO.
WASHINGTON, February 12.-The ex-
traordinary message of the President on
Arkansas was not even alluded to in the
cabinet meeting to day. The President
made no reference TO it, and the men,
bers Of the cabinet, who saw il for the
first time in the newspapers, did not
seem to deem il necessary to repudiate
it. In the senate to day Clayton at
tempted 10 have it referred to the psrti-
san committee on elections, but was
met with opposition from so leading a
Republican as Senator Edmunds. The
Republicans from the north very gener-
ally denounce the message in converse
ton, but will doubtless be siIent about IL
In debate. The Poland report, sustain
ing peace and order in Arkansas, prom
ises TO be adopted by the house by a
large vote, but as the senate will do
nothing the President, 1t is said, will not
regard the action of the house as the
action Of congress, and will march in
his troops and turn out the present State
government into the streets. Brooks,
the bogus governor, whom Grant turned
out last year, is here, and says that he
will be put back by Grant next month.

Bliss, famous evangelists Of Chicago.
Whittle il nOn-sectarian, teaching only
