Death of Barney williams.

NEW YORK, April 25-Barney Williams
died at half-past one o'clock this afternoon.
An Open Letter from Moulton TO Beecher,
Francis d. Mouton, in an open letter to
Henry Ward Beecher, submits the following
proposition:
II will so amend my complaint that the issue
shall be, if it is not SO offered now, that by
your perjury you caused me to be indicted for
libel for saying that you were an adulterer, you
then we'll knowing that what said was true.
Waving all formalities, l will 60 to trial upon
this issue alone, and will agree that all wit
nesses shall be heard without techinal objec-
ton, who know anything of any fact tending
to prove that issue, either of their own knowl-
edge or by statements of either concerned in
the double crime, or any other testimony the
tribunal before which the trial is had shall
choose to hear. AS do not desire to get any
money from you by my suit, which would
perhaps be paid from the funds of the church,
which ought to be devoted to better use than
indemnifying you against the consequences of
your crimes, will ask no damages whatever
save the nominal sum of one dollar if the issue
is found to be In my favor"
Moulton offers to submit this issue to jury
summoned in the ordinary mode, or by ex-
President WOolsey of Yale College, or by
Deacon Geo. G. Robinson of Plymouth church,
or by q jury half selected BY Thos. G. Shear
man and Edward Beecher, and the other half
by himself, the verdict of the. majority to be
accepted as the final decision.

RESURRECTION IN BARBADoEs.-Respectin
the instruction in Barbados to which refer.
ence was made in our dispatches of Monday, a
private letter received by firm in this city
says that at present there is good deal of ex-
citement there amongst the lower classes,
chiefly owing to the agitation on the part Of
the government to bring into operation a
scheme of confederation with some of the
neighboring islands. The measure is strongly
opposed by everyone in the community OF any
standing, and generally by the masses. Every
sort of means is being adopted to stir up class
against class. and the consequence is that
nearly everything is in disorgaEized condi-
ton. Business, too, u.s. depressed in all de-
partments.
