! The Congregational d, Advisory
Council concluded it, labors Thurs.
day evening and the next day its
members shook the dust Of Broo klyn
from off their shoes and left for their
homes. The decision of the Council
ON the different points submitted sus-
tains Plymouth Church's discipline
in every particular. In regard to the
scandal. the Council advise that, in
view Of the dissatisfaction which pre-
wallis, and FIR the sake Of the peace
Of the churches and the protection Of
Plymouth, I commission of five,a to
be selected from twenty eminent Con.
gregationalists named in the report,
be selected to; receive and examine
all charges against Mr.. Beecher
which they may regard as not already
sufficiently tried-iu other words, to
dive after the "bottom facts" It IL
provided that the commission shall
not be constituted unless formal
charges against the pastor shall be
brought before the church or its COM
mittee within sixty days after the
dissolution of the Council by a party
making himself responsible for the
truth and proof of the same, unless
within the same time it shall be ad-
judged to be expedient by the exam.
lining committee of the church and
the committee of three that impor.
tant testimony not previously given,
which might throw light upon the
charges which have hitherto been
tried, should be heardby the commit
tee. The probabilities are that little
or nothing will come Of this scandal
commission suggestion.
1t turns out that Bowen's "terrible
revelation" Of Wednesday evening
amounted to just nothing At all. He
does not, in this statement, claim to
have any knowledge Of guilt on Mr..
Beecher's part. He ."believes him
guilty from what he has heard from
divers parties.'' He refuses to give
any names, but says that somebody
told him that somebody else had told
another person that somebody had
heard that. in 1858 Mr.. Beecher had
been seen Ito enter in. = suspicious
manner. the study Of Plymouth
church with a woman whose name he
also declines to mention r His in
formaut did not say that she knew
adultery was committed there, but
she believed there was!" And this
is the sum and substance of the terri
BILE volcano of scandal proof which
Bowen was to let loose under Mr..
Beecher's feet and blow that individ-
ual and Plymouth church to Saturn
or some other hot place in far.off
space. He has made himself
supremely ridiculous during the
past week-first, in this fizzle-
out in his statement; and Sec
ond by his precipitate fight, through
a back door, from party of preach
ers who wanted him to linger awhile
longer and tell them little more
about what he knew or claimed to
know concerning the scandal. The
editor Of the Independent does not at
present occupy position before the
country Of which he may feel proud.

We print this evening the proceed
ings OF the Democratic Conservative
ratification meeting at Bastrop. A pri-
vate letter informs us that no such
gathering has ever before been known
in the history Of Morehouse parish.
The Courthouse, where the meeting was
appointed to be held, was too small TO
hold the multitude, and the assemblage
adjourned to the public square. The
galleries and windows OF the houses
we're crowded with ladies. while music
and cannon and the enthusiastic huz-
zahs Of the people added to the liveli-
ness Of the scence. Hundreds OF negroes
participated with, enthusiasm In the
meeting, and seemed rejoiced that con-
fidence between themselves and the
whites with whom they were born and
reared was again restored. Our corre
spondent, who knows what he is talking
about. assures us that Morehouse parish
will give the DemocratiC-C CONSERVATIVE
ticket five hundred majority at least.

Tho want and suffering now existing among
the Pennsylvania miners is perhaps the great
est in the land, rs these people are differently
situated from agricultural Ia orers who. ut
least. can never starve to death. A letter to the
New York Sim. from Port Richmond, Penn.
sylvania. represents the condition Of tile
miners there as terrible. Wages have
been reduced and men turned out Of EN-
ployment until now numerous cases Of death
by actual starvation occur daily, both in tbe
Wyoming and Lackawanna regions. In several
Instances famiies have subslsted for several
days the flesh Of dogs and other domestic
animals. ~
By the new edict Of the coal companies thirty
thousand laborers will be turned out Of employ
ment. when the suffering Of these people will be
fearful. And all this is done by the coal ring
Tor the purpose of increasing the price OF coal.
II is starving these mon TO death for fear that
the rest Of the people will keep warm too cheap
this coming winter. We have never heard OF
greater massacres under the law than this.
