The remainder are doubtfuL This would
give the Republicans 321 votes ; of those,
however, such a number belong to the Left
Centre and Moderate Left, that, without the
assistance of these parties, the extreme Left

PLYMOUTH COUNCIL.
New Yoke, Feb. 24.—The committee of nine
presented their reporc on all the questions of
the letter missive and other subjects brought
before the council.
The following is i»s uibstance:
In answer to questions one and two, the
«ouncil advises these principles—that a church
may declare itself .released irom all responsi
bility for a member.
1. By finalty separating him from its fel
lowship with censure after giving him a fair
trial, using all reasonable measures to bring
ihim to repentance.
2. It may do the same without formal cere
mony, in many cases, in which a person signi
fies by his acts that he has abandoned feliow
ahip with the Church in doctrine, or worship
•or Christian sympathy.
3. The case may occur that a member
should openly and notoriously abandon all
oommunion with the church, and also be
charged with a scandalous offense, either by
public rumor or by specific allegations.
In such a case the church may, to avoid
greater Boandal, use a wise derision in select
ing the offense on which it shall separate him
from its fellowship and discharge itself from
«11 farther responsibility for his oondact and
character. . „ „
In regard to dropping members, rule No. 7
should be amended so as to require notice to
be given as to the course which shonld be
adopted in regard to five specified^ classes of
members: th« counc.l replies positively in re
gard to the first f mr.
and
the
Net
Net
as
The reasons supposed to be given by the
persons described for deliberate and perma
nent absence from the services and meetings
of the Chnreh without asking for letters ot
d ismissal, are, in onr opinion, entirely in
valid, schismatic and unchristian.
The fifth case stands by itself : A person
who is convicted of the offense described and
can find no reasonable explanation of his con
duct, ought, if he persists, to be cast out
from the fellowship of the Church.
To the fourth question, which bears on
Deaoon West's demand for a mutual council,
the reply is, the Church is the tribunal ap
pointed by Christ for investigation of the of
fenses of its members.
A mutual oounoil can not, in the nature of
the case, exist, nnless there are two parties,
one of which be aggrieved ; in the case sup
posed the connoil oan not properly be called
nnless the aggrieved person has submitted
speoifio charges against the pastor, and can
furnish prima facia evidence that he can make
them good.
We utterly and emphatically repudiate the
dootrine, that because a church member finds
himself in a minority, even though his
opinioq relates to the integrity and Christian
character of his pastor, that he thereby has
any claim upon the church to unite with him
in c»lling a mutual council.
In reply te the fifth, concerning Mrs. Moul
ton's call for a mutual council, the ouncil
say local churches, however Christian in fact,
being disturbed by local influences, may
properly be excluded from a mutual oonncil,
and they regret Mrs. Moulton's representative
did not substitute two other ehurohes for
thou objected to. and thus gratify the ex
pressed desire of Mrs. Moulton for a mutual
counoiL
Iu reference to ques'ion sixth of the letter
missive, the council says the part which re
lates to the rules of the church has already
been answered. The question of their appli
cation to this case was decided by a lormer
council
They regret some one had not sought from
the pastor himself the grounds of the slan
derous reports according to Mathew 18 and
the Church polity for 397 years. If this
were done, if the pastor were guilty, he
would have left the ministry.
If innocent, he would have been restored to
confidence. They find no reason to call in
question the method by which the committee
was constituted which investigated the charges
against the pastor.

THE CITY.
With Intent to Commit Murder. —George
Guillaume is always getting pounded, and
keeps Judge Long's clerk ocenpied making
ont affidavits for him from morning until
night, and still he is not happy and can't agree
with his neighbors. Mr. Felieion Coffey could
net stand his insalts, and was compelled to
jnmp on him and beat him a little, just to try
and make him keep his month shnt, and was
incaroera'ed on a charge of assault and battery
with intent to kill
Trespass —A German shoemaker named
William Heckman has been drinking a good
deal of late, and is laboring under the im
Ç ression that he has two domiciles in the
hird District, and very often bolts into Mr.
Peter Frey's house, on Marigny street, be
tween Chartres and Royal; in fact, he came
there once too often and annoyed that gen
tleman to such an extent that he made an
affidavit against him for trespass, which
caused his arrest Thursday.
Suspicious Characters. —At a quarter to 10
o'clock Thursday night Officer Krncker col-
lared two men, named Hans Hanson and Wm.
Brown, on Canal street, between Bourbon and
Dauphine, and marched them to the Third
Precinct Station, on a charge of being dan-
gerous and suspicious characters and being
about to commit a breach of the peace. These
two men were noticed by the officer loitering
aronnd where they were arreBted, and when
approached were nnable to give an account of
themselves.
Dangerous and Suspicious — Detectives
Hennessey and Roxborough lodged George
Smith and George Taylor in the Central Sta
tion Friday morning, from the corner of
Baronne and Perdido streets, on a charge of
being dangerous and suspicious characters
and being about to commit a breach of the
peace.
Attemped Larceny. — Peter Barber,
steamboatman, passed the grovery store of
Mr. M. Dafont, corner of D inphine and Tou
louse streets, at 10} o'clock Thursday night,
and could not resist the temptation, but stole
several boxes of canoed fruit. The proprie
tor saw him do it and walk down the street,
so he started after him. He overtook him a
short distance from the place and made him
give up his property, and then turned him
over to a policeman, who marched him to the
Third Precinct Station.

The Varieties Theater. —Charles Eeade's
dramatization of Tennyson's beautiful poem
of "Dora" is an eminently successful one.
The severely pathetio nature of the true
hearted girl is portrayed in very expressive
and elegant language, and the picturesque
and home-like character of the story faith
fully preserved in the drama. As presented at
the Varieties Theater, with Mrs. Chanfrau in
tbe title role, it is one of the most pleasure
able dramatic events of the season. This
lady's acting is full ot tbe natural pathos and
vigor of life, and she gives to Tonnyson's
ideal a life-like semblanoe which presents it
to the audience as a thing of life, full of the
self-sacrificing and tender nature of the poet's
conception, and most happily realizing his
exquisite creation. The entire cast is very
bappy, and the performance well worthy tbe
attention and admiration of onr theater
going public. It will be presented this even
ing tor probably tbe last time. At the mati
nee to-day "Christie Johnstone," one of Mrs.
Chanfrun's most successful characterizations,
will iorrn the attraction.
Academy of Mu.-ic.— Matinee To Day —
Kelly k Loon's Comic Opera Troupe present
that extremely laughable opera of Offenbach's
production, "Mons. ChonfleurL" Kelly &
Leon have a world-wide reputation as bur
lesqners. They produce their operas perfect
as far as the mnsio goes. Their costumes are
rich and elegant. Leon ranks at the head of
his profession as a male prima donna; his
style is unapproachable; graceful, with a most
bewitching manner; his dresses are of the
most costly material and worn in a most lady
like manner. Kelly, as the tenor, is excru
ciatingly funny. They present a minstrel
first part, introducing some new and original

mony.
'Mons. Chanfleuri" is tbe opera for to
day's matinee and evening. To morrow we
are to have that ever popular opera bouffe
"The Grand Dutch—S." It being especially
arranged for Kelly and L c on, and played by
them at their theater, 720 Broadway, New
York, over 290 nights. As there will be no
ball at tbe Academy on Mardi Gras night,
Kelly and Leon will give one of their best
progammes, finishing at 10 F. M., just in
time to visit the balls. s
"Ching, Chow, Hi," another of Offenbach's
famous opera bonffes, is in preparation. This
is said to be tbe gem of all his productions.
The St. Charles Theater —Mr. Edwin
Adams received a benefit at this theater last
evening, and presented as an attraction the
excellent comedy of "Wild Oats." As Rover
Mr. Adams is excellent. His acting in this
spirited, dashing play is worthy of great
praise, and makes one believe that he is pecu
liarly suited to tbe performance of such-like
comedy characters. There is a very attractive
substance to the comedy, and it furnishes
splendid entertainment to the theater-goer.
It will be repeated this evening.
At the matinee to-day Mr. Adams will give
his last performance of bis great character of
Enoch Arden, and surely no better matinee
attraction could be offered. We commend
the announcement of the repetition of this
play to the attention of the ladies contemplat
ing a visit to the theater to-day.
On Sunday evening Capt. Paul Boytcn will
be the receipient of a grand complimentary
testimonial benefit at this theater.
Globe Theater.— The entertainment last
night at the Globe commenced with the
laughable sketch called the •*Dutchman's
Speculation," and closed with the " Parisian
Can-Can." Interspersed, were the usual spe
cialty performances, in which Miss Mary
Olive and Harry Thompson were the chief at
tractions. To-night, after the performance,
there will be a grand fancy dress and mask
ball

A controversy has arisen conoerning recent
biographies of Poe. In "Mr. Middleton's
Memorial Edition" of-his poems, the bio
graphical sketch by Mr. John H. Ingram was
given, prefaced, at My. Gill's request, with a
statement that a considerable portion of the
material was gathered from Wm. F. Gill's
lecture on the poet Mr. Ingram, who is
editieg tbe four-volume edition of Poe, which
A. & C. Black, of Edinburgh, are publishing,
now asserts, on the contrary, that he used no
material furnished in any way by Mr. Gill,
but that the latter made free use, without
acknowledgment, of material which Mr in
1 gram had forwarded at his request.
