AS already announced in our Geographic
dispatches, Henry Ward Beecher has with
drawn from the New York and Brooklyn
Association of Congregational churches, be-
cause he thought it right to relieve the asso.
citation from all apparent responsibility for
his theological opinions, which he admits
differ in some respects from those of Con-
gregationalists in general, and have been de-
clared unsound and hcrctical by some of the
religious papers. The announcement of his
withdrawal was accompanied by n statement
of his belief, which departed from the stand
ard of the Westminster confession in regard
to the doctrines of original sin, the nature of
the atonement and future punishment. These
beliefs, lie said were those of his whole life.
He withdrew from the association that its
members might feel no responsibility for
him, nor obligation to defend HIM, but he
never was in warmer personal sympathy
with them than now. After some discussion
a resolution was unanimously adopted de-
clarng that his resignation was accepted with
pain and regret, that they recognized the
maguanimity of his motives. that they found
nothing in his statement inconsisten, with
membership in that or any other Congrega-
tional association, that they had undimn-
him, and hoped he would reconsider his
resignation and return to membership in the
association.

HIGHWAYS.

Our Montpelier correspondent reports that
the general committee of the Legislature will
report in favor of the retention of the Jude
vine highway law with some changes as to
its machinery, 80 as to make its remedial
operations more simple and effectual. In
less the proposed changes are OF somewhat
sweeping character, it seems to us that Il
gre at mistake will be made in retaining the
law, Prior to its passage the Vermont roads
were of not such character as the people
could take much pride in and it is the al
most universal testimony that in the last two
years they have gone from bad to worse. A
Danvillc correspondent OF the Montpelier
Journal writes ''The roads in this and
neighboring towns never were in SO dcplora-
bic condition as they have been during this
season. In several highway districts no
work has been done, and the rocks are all
bare, cuverts broken through, gullies untitled
and small stones cover the surface of the
roads in countless numbers. A reliable man
from Peacham recently told us that it would
cost his town $500 to put the roads
in as good condition as they
were before the Judevinc law was
passed. Another correspondent says
that "the highway surveyors when reminded
that the roads in their district are unsafe to
travel over and the tax is unworked, say the
town is in no danger, for The law protects it
from any bill of damages" From nearly
every part Of the State come reports of like
tenor - one correspondent declaring that
travelling upon our roads is by far the
most pcrilous undertaking known to this
day and generation" The towns, being
free from liability, took less interest in
Keeping up the roads and the law is so

been legally established The Salt Lake
Tribune, Gentle organ says "a test case
was made by the Utah Gentiles, the ground
being taken that woman suffrage was cou-
trary to the organic Territorial law; ii created
a special class of voters. The Federal Judges
held that the law was legal, and that ban
ished all hope of the Gcntiles helping them
selves A woman can come to Utah from
another country, to-day, marry Mormon,
and vote tomorrow. That is the operation
of the law" 1t is strange that the fist result
of granting female suffrage in Utah is to
strengthen the Mormon church, and legally
fortify the very abomination of which wo-
men are The principal victims. But such
is the exact state of the case. and women
continue to flock from Norway, Sweden,
England and other European countries, to
Utah, and when there, all become inslru-
mcnts in the hands of the Mormon church,
to make the polygamous community strong
er, instead of weaker. The Mormon cues
ton is not yet solved, and the next Congress
will have it TO deal with.

EVENTS IN Utah.

Affairs in Utah do not appear to mend with
near the end of troubles caused by Mormon
ism it would appear that we are on the
threshold of fresh difficulties. The spirit
and temper of the Mormons in Utah toward
the Federal Government and the people OF
the country who oppose Mormon abomina-
tions arc more hostile and defiant than ever
before. The spirit of the Mormon church
and community may be inferred from the
declarations of the Mormon leaders at the
conference in Salt Lake City. Geo. Q. Can
non. who was so long the Territorial dele
gate in Congress from Utah said at tina,
meeting, that no power on earth nor in hell
could check or prevent the onward march
of the kingd ON of God, by which he meant
the Mormon church John Taylor, the
church president, said; ANY man, or set
Of men, who curtail or deprive us of our
constitutional rights are tyrants and Cypress.
ors We intend to lawfully contend for our
rights, inch by inch 1t is clear that these
men have no idea OF submitting to any legal
or other attack on Mormonsm without off.
cring all the resistance possible, they have
never shown themselves at all scrupulous as
to the means they employ in their operations
in behalf of their fanatical notions.
The recent proceedings of the Commits
sioners sent to Utah to carry out the provis-
ions of the Edmunds bill and the results dc
not indicate any progress in the direction Of
checking the growth of Mormon fanatcsm
or crushing or curtaiing the political powe
of the Mormons in Utah. The registration

women are voters as well as the men
and it shows $4,000 names, four out of nine
being of men and three out of -four Mormons
The Acknowledgement of the known or avowcd
practical polygamists has proved of little OF
no avail The Mormons, who are not ant
can not be proved to be polygamsts within
the provisions of the new law, outnumber the
non-Mormon or Gentle population more than
two to one, and will therefore continue tc
