Beecher's Relief.

New York, April IA deep hush fell
upon Plymouth church and every ear was
sir'ined when Beecher said he would relate
an incident which he had never spoken of
before. He remarked play fully that he
would now tell II conddentally. "There
came to me-" ho said, "a member of nv own
church, the mother of a young woman, who.
SAID her daughter had become iascinsted d
with Roman worship and wanted to

"This lamb has found greener pastures in
your fields than in mine.' She Joined ,be

:, Any one could have heard pin drop while
Beecher was telling this, and there was what
Is generally called u "sensstion." He added:
I'D DO It sgain If it were necessary. for
when spoke of unity of all that believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ, meant IT, don't
believe, in external unity, but / believe In
internal unity" 10 this connection the

denied that the right of suffrage
was restricted in the south, and
criticised with great earnestness the law
which in Massachusetts, did restrict that
right. He also charged that many voters in

sae influence OF money and by the influence
OF corporations.
This brought Messrs. Dawes and Hcar 70

Blake in the chair.
H No 3, to establish a rate of interest on
territorial and county warrants. The amend
ment reported by the committee on ways and
means changing the rate of interest from 7 to
6 per cent; adopted. (The second section re-
fsrs only to county w%arrants.) Garlock
moved to amend the same section by striking
ont 7 and inserting Sper cent. He argued
that the reduction proposed by the bill would
depreciate the warrants Of some counties
more than was desirable. He read the audi
tors report to show that some counties were
not paying their current expenses from their
receipts. The warrants of Custer county are
worth so cents while bearing 10 per cent. in
terest. He argued, at some length, that no
saving was realized by. reducing the rate of
interest, as discount on warrants always in
creased the cost of supplies.
Donnelly endorsed the remarks of the last
speaker. He had heard no reason given for
the reduction of interest as proposed. When
a man is asked to do a days work for a coun-
ty he at once asks whether he is to be paid ia
warrants or cash. If the former he adds so
per cent. to the price.
Beach spoke in opposition to the amend
ment.
Sedman moved that the committee rise, re-
port progress and ask leave to sit again;
adopted.
