CURRENT TOPICS.

The Advisory Council of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, met in that church
on Tuesday, the 18th inst. Delegates
from about 140 churches were present
and occupied the body of the church.
The gallery was filed chiefly by ladies.
Mr.. Beecher opened the proceedings by
an address, in which he said: "What-
ever questions you may see fit to ponder
over, you will act on your own discre-
ton, and without any restriction on the
part OF this Church. For myself, l wish
to say that I fear no adequate and just
investigation of whatever is thought to
be wiscst and best, and that l most
earnestly give my consent to it," DR..
Bacon was selected as First Moderator.
In his remarks DR.. Bacon said that they
were not there TO try the main question
of the great scandal, but only to advise
Plymouth Church concerning the man
ner in which it has dealt with il.

The committee of the Louisiana
House, which was appointed to invcsti-
gate the accounts of State Treasurer
Dubuclet, reports that the balance in
the Treasury Jan. LIST was correct; but
it finds that at one time the Treas
urer had paid out without warrant of
the State Auditor S19S, 900, "having
been influenced thereto by the threats
and promises of Governor Kellogg, As
sistant Acknowledgement Dibblc, Judge
Hawkins and others" The committee
recommends the impeachment of Treas
urer Dubuclet and Governor Kellogg,
that Dibble be addressed out of office,
and that criminal prosecu-
tons be brought against Alfred Shaw
and j. II. Oglesby. The report was re-
ceivea and ordered to be printed. Gov
ernor Kellogg explains this matter by
saying that after the "White League"
riots of September IA, 1874, no city
taxes could be collected that the police
were some months in arrears with their
pay, and that to meet this pressing pub
lie emergency the Treasurer was au-
thorized to temporarily transfer suf-
ficient funds from the general Treasury
to keep the police on their beats, which
loan was amply secured by the pledge
OF the uncollected taxes for police pur-
poses, ETC., and that in fact the State
was jeopardized to the extent of
one dollar by this transfer.

The New York Tribune, which is
generally understood TO be in the conf
dence OF Secretary Bristow, publishes
the following:
The fact need no longer be concealed hat
the President and Secretary of the Treasury
must soon part company. General Grant is
no longer satisfied with Mr.. Bristow, and
the latter is becoming FESTIVE and d~issatis-
fled with his present honors. The growing
distance between the two gentlemen has not
reached that point where personal inter-
course of an agreeable nature is no longer
possible, but each is more at ease in other
society; whetaer from any known cause, if
from any cause, is not Il matter OF dis
cussion now; but there is a feel
ing between the two that is
difficult to describe, but which produces a
constant constraint and embarrassment.
That it has its foundation in the Babcock
matter Is generally admitted, but until the
case is disposed Of by the court, no discuss
sion is vouchsafed. A change in the Treas
ury Department is possible in a few DAYS,
IL cannot reasonably be delayed a fortnight.
The Secretary expresses his differences with
the President very mildly as n feeling that is
dlflcult to describe, but which produces a
constant constraint and embarrassment.
Inc secretary declines to state the cause.
