xE The labors of the Brooklyn ad-
visory council are not yet concluded and
may not be for several days. The dis.
cussions are taking much wider range
than many thought they would take, and
the members OF the council seem dcterm.
lned to open up everything which can
give any light upon the subjects they arc
to investigate. The proposition Of the
Andovor church for q mutual council to
investigate Mr.. Bcccher's character was
very properly submitted TO the council,
and they must, of course, advise them
what action to take. They ought to say,
at once, "let the eounci be called -
1t may not be pleasant for Mr.. Bcocher
or Plymouth church, to stand the fire Of
continuous investigation year in and year
out, during their natural lives. But SO
long os the evidence is no more conclu.
sive than what we have had, there can
bc no end Of it, Truth and peace, which
can alone come Of final settlement Of all
voxed questions, are of moro consequence
than any one man or one church. There
can scarcely be prospect of finding any
new light upon the subject, at this time
but let the investigation go on, all the
same, until everybody who has any right
to know and wishes, can have hand in
\. If innocent, Mr., Bcechor can endure
it until death comes to his relici. Il
guilty, it may worry him into confession
or suicide. In either alternative the
world must, at length, rest from the scan
dial.
So devote the sumner of 1876 to tho
ecclesiastical investigation in 1877 have
another civil trial in 1873 make crimi
nal charges and drag in all the old wit
ncsses in 1879 let the church commit
tee probe him again and 60 let eacl
process be renewed in their order unit
the bottom facts shall be reached, or un
til, under the weight of his trials, h,
shall break down and be laid TO rest il
the grave.

s& The Name Legislature has at

under consideration in tba state. There
has been strong party in favor Of put.

years, and tho measure went triumphantly
through the house early last week and Cd

not certain that he had any other oonnec.
