amendment, the British House of Commons
has practically decided that Queen Victoria
shall also be called Empress of India" The
British people very generally dislike the new
title. but their influence was overcome in the
House by that of the Crown and the titled
aristocracy.

Since last September, the Liberians and Grebos
have been fighting because of an old terrific

both belligerepts were willing to come to

Prof. Timothy Dwight, one OF the leading
spirits of the Advisory Council, and one OF
the commit ;eo of three appointed to select the
Scandal Investigating Commission. makes a
vigorous reply to the five eminent Doctors OF
Divinity who have seen ft to criticisc the ac-
ton of that body. DR.. Stor1s, DIR. Dexter, and
the other critics hold that the Council had no
right to consider much less reject tho plan
proposed by the Andover Church. and further
more that it had no right to suggest any
method of investigation. Prof. Dwight
goes back 10 the Cambridge and Boston
platforms and argues that the AndOver

mental principles of ConSregationalIsm

controversy are fighting behind the bulwarks OF
CONGREGATIONAL precedent when they ought to
come out and face each other in the scandal
ditch. Those who criticise the action OF the
Council believe that Mr.. Beecher is guilty.
Let them take up with DIR. Bacon's suggestion
and present charges against Mr.. Beecher. That
will lead TO the organization OF the lnVesti-
eating Commission, and We shall soon find ont

tendent of State Prisons and abolish the
present Office of Inspector. Coincidently with
this comes the supplementary report OF the
COMMITTEE on Prison Management, which
sets forth the evidence that the system
is costly chiefly because the prisoners are not
kept at work; and suggests that what ia
wanted is man of executive ability who could
discover suitable branches of labor for prison

in a business way. In short. this portion OF
the affairs of the State needs to be managed on
business principles.

an Administration Republican and a Bourbon DEM.

Mr.. Hewitt has already dono more than most new
members achieve in an entire first session at Wash
ington. He has made two noticeable specches
which have commanded the attention of the whols
country. In one he went fiat against the policy OF
his own party leaders, in the other against
what has been rather inconsderately adopted az
the policy of his own associates in the war for hard
money. In both he has shown the fruits Of honest
and independent thinking. He put an end. wa

merce by doing away with important consulates
and he has certainly given pause to the hasty people
who wish to try Mr.. Richardson's specie-resumptiou
scheme again Oh larger scale.

There is a stlted little person in the
House of Representatives. who, under the
patronage of Mr.. BLAINE while speaker
was lifted up into "A prominence to which
he had no claim, and favored with pecu-
liar privileges which were denied to supe-
rior men. As the son-inlaw of JACK
CHANDLER, and the prospective heir TO
his wealth, his self-sufhciency has largely
increased, and no opportunity OF parLding

During the debate on the Diplomatic
bill, Mr.. HALE of Maine undertook to
threaten Mr.. SPRINGER Of Illinois with
the displeasure of the Administration, for

The Advisory Council.

What Mr.. BEECuER calls the Advisory
Council conveues to-day at Plymouth
Church. 1t is body called together to
evade the real issue in Mr.. BEECHERs case,
namely, his guilt OF innocence Of adultery
and perjury, ana to discuss comparatively
insignificant points of Congregational
church order. In any event II council so
restricted would be of little importance:
but now that it meets to consider ques-
tons defnitvely decided by the council OF
1874 after thorough discussion. this large
body of Congregational ministers and lay
men will simply beat the air
The council contains over two hundred
members-a body altogether too unwiedy
for profitable work. But undoubtedly
Mr.. BEECHER feels safer with a large con-
gregation of delegates. II will give him
the opportunity 10 exercise that power
over Il mass of men which is his strong
weapon Of defence He feels secure when
he occupies the platform OF hs church,
and can use the occasion 10 sway the minds
of his hearers by the arts Of eloquencc and
dramatic expression. As speaker he is
easily the foremost man among the minis
tiers assembled in Plymouth Church, and
he il confident OF his ability to take cap
tive thc judgments of the council. and TO
draw to him their sympathies. lie has so
long plactiscd the tactics of retreat from
tie facts Of his case arrayed against him,
that h. has no fear OF being forced by such
a COUNSEL as he has called, into pitched
battle with Them.
The members If the council will live,
while in brooklyn, IN the atmosphere OF
Plymouth Church, an atmosphere SO
charged with pa't lnship for Mr.. BrEcH-
Err that every delegate TO the council must
feel its influence strongly The Plymouth
pastor enters the council surrounded by Il
vast body guard, and has before him an
easy task, for he needs not TO meet the ac-
cusations against him.
II remains 10 be seen II there are among
the council any men earnest enough and
persistent enough to keep their faces rcso-
lutely turned toward the scandal itself
If there shall be such, they may be able to
surmount the high wall which has been
builded about the bottom facts. But no
one need expect that this council will be
one of thorough investigation. 1T is in the
main composed Of Mr. BEEcHERs friends.
1t is under the direct and subtle influences
Of his church, unrcasoning III IFS partiSan-
ship, and determined in ITS purpose to
shield its pastor. II is so large that enthu-
siasms easily generated may take posses
sion Of it ana sweep away the barriers OF
reason and reflection. 1t is told TO put no
hand forth to unlock the sewer in which
the foul thing that gives occasion for its
meeting is still fostering. II, in fine, Is
brought together to aid Mr.. BEECHER in
raising "A side issue about which men may
wranGle while the real issue shall be for
gotten.
But this council cannot make the public
forget that HENRY WARD BEEcHER is ac-
cused by his own letters and acts, aud by
members OF his own church, OF adultery
and perjury. Though it bars the door to
tho admission of these witnesses against
him as unwelcome and troublesome in
truders, yet 1t cannot destroy their exist
