BROOKLYN, Feb. 81, 1876.
Delegates to the Advisory Council as
sembled in secret session at $50 A. NJ,
in Plymouth Church. All newspaper
reporters were excluded from the build
ing. After devotional exercises. the
discussion on the six questions of the
letter missive was resumed, and con-
tinued during the morning. This ques-
ton gives them rather a wide scope
and the opinions of delegates differ
considerably as to how far they should
go regarding the question as to wheth-
er the church has made thorough in
vestigation as to charges against Beech
er. The scandal is such which pre-
vents the committee from forming its
report in satisfactory manner.
