A critious petition to parliament is in circulation in England and will soon be presented to that body. Its originator is one Annie Besant,.and English heroine decidedly radical p.oclivities. She first conceived the idea embodied in her petition at the time the debate occurred in parliament over the appropriation to defray the expenses of the Prince of
Wales tour to India. Iler petition is a a prayer t0 parliament that no further money be granted hereafter to the royal family tor any purpose whatever. She asks that such an act be passed and that it be binding for

A BEECHERIAN PROPOSITION. If not sensational the Beechers are nothing. Henry Ward has done his shareftowards waking up mankind. Rev. Thomas' K. now advances to the front andiniftkes a proposition calculated to electrify America, if it were tried. His theory is advanced through the Elmira, N. Y"., Gazette, and is an attempt, its author states, to reform the prevalent practice of buying and selling votes, by repealing all election bribery laws, and providing for the sale of votes in open market. The reverend reformer asserts that "while the world standi, votes will be bought and sold in a .democracy^" "Vast numbers ov voters," he says, "cannot possibly use their votes wisely, and it is better for capital to get out the vote by cash, than for party men to gctjit out by .b^ibcf and r.lite.

^Ttr^city counci 1 ~of Indianapolis,*aORe regular^ineeting, the other night, passed an ordinance re-districting the city. The. measure-was passed by the Democrats, -who ^ire in a majority., --Ij -is ,supposed that it gives some advantage to the Democrats. Nobody says that the new arrangement of the districts is not better and more convenient than the old one. In fact the merits of the case are not argued at all, but an interminable amount of froth and fury is indulged in.
The Indianapolis Journal is cspecially furious on the subject. The marvel much at this, because the Journal was nof always wont to be so testy on a point ot this kind. When the Republican Legislature of four years ago, come next winter, gerryandered the state,itsaid nothing, and vet there never was a more absurd or fraudulent districting of the state. We do not speak of the political aspects of the question, though that was undoubtedly the sole motive which prompted to the arrangement. We hold that congressional and legislative districts should be as compact as possible and cluster around natural centres of trade. Now, here is our eight Congressional district. It runs in a diagonal Jjne down through the state and only one county deep. It is inconvenient for the delegates to meet in convention, inconvenient for candidates, in canvassing, to get everir, and is so drawn out that the pa pers of Toi re Haute, which is tho larg est and really the only city in it, can not circulate throughout: it.
It was districted so to make it Republican. That was the sole motve, and in accomplishing it, violence was done to all rules of common sense and propriety If it had been made a compact district, with Terre Haute in the center and easy of access to and from this point, though it had been forty times as strongly Republican as it is now, no fair man would have found fault. As it is, we do take exception to it and with reason. Now what we take exception to in the ravings of the Indianapolis Journal is its manifest dishonesty It commended this Republican gerrymander, outrageous as it was, considered merely in its geographical aspects, which should be the paramount consideration and now is "fighting mad over" a change in the ward boundaries in Indianapolis
We have yet to hear it say the first word showing that the new wards are not mon conveniently and better arranged than the old ones. If they are more conven iently arrange'd, then the change is good if not, it is bad.
As to the State congressional di tricts, any Legislature that will change them, will de serve the thanks of the citizens, fi could no) be worse. Any change would be for the better.
GOVERNOR TILEEX is a good man, and an honest one. He would make a good president, we presume. He certainlv has made a good governor. Thcie is authority for the doctrine of making a man master over many things, who has been faithful over a few things. Nevertheless, it is now time for Democracy to select a candidate from thexcountry west of the mountains. New York has had the last three candidates for the Democratic ticket for president, and we have prospered under their leadership, now time for a son of the great west tc lead the democratic hosts to victory. Indiana has a favorite son in Governor Hendricks. We insist upon his nomination. His record is good. He is a man worthy and well qualified to. fill the office of president of the republic.
ANDnow the genial Avery, of oratorical and poetical fame, who walked into the Jefferson City penetentiary through the devows paths of crooked whiskey, wants to be incarcerated in an eastern prison. His family live on the orient side of the Alleghany .mountains, and they find it expensive visiting him so far away from home. Avery ought to have thought cf this when his eagle eyes scanned the crooked field, and hit upon St Louis as the scene of his operations, or did lie "wish to steal awhile away" from home
MASSACHUSETTS may be considered for Bristow. Out of the four delegates from the State at large, selected at the Republican convention yesterday, three are out-spoken for Bristow, and only one for Blaine. If this sentiment pervades the body of the delegation, Bristow may expect substantial support Bay State

THE Democratic nominees for the city council are unexceptionable men. They are men of business capacity, and strict integrity. They deserve election at the hands of their fellow citizens.

A Wonderful Invention in Warfare.
Successful trial at Washington of the Lay Movable Torpedoboat.
Washington, April
not
It is
Two flags served to mark its course. In an incredibly short space of time it was almost beyond sight of. the naked eye, and then" persons who were looking through glasses said it had stopped. Next a quivering motion in the water was visible the boat moved slightly, and with a graceful turn it was seen moving back again in the direction ol the alaim. When within easy view, Colonel Lay, who manipulated the boat, gave the spectators a view ot the mysterioue manner in which he could direct its movements. Again it approached rrpidly and when within fifty feet of the Alarm stopped. The ladies :oaked at ieunccnTo t-ib'.e appearing craft suspiciously, and the gentlemen grew warm in discussing tee dangers of marine warfare. Simultane ously a sharp report was heard, and column of water ascended about ten feet above smoke which hid the boat from view
A cheer was given and the rising smoke disclosed a number of wires on the ex treme prow of the boat, which before the explosion had connected with the sub merged torpedo, and were invisible. After a few extra manoeuvcrs to give all an opportunity to observe its working so far as visible in the water, it was disconnected from the battery and removed to a building adjoining the wharf, where by a pulley, it was hoisted to a dry anil sale position.
A torpedo-boat somewhat similar to the one exhibited here to-day, but less improved, was exhibited by Mr. Lay at Newport last summer. He has made a number of torpedo boats within the last few years, and expended over $ 100,00b in the work, but it has been his misfortune everv time a new boat was completed to see "where an improvemefit" could be made thereon, and begin ajftew on another. Mr. Kay invented "Spar torpedo boat which, commanded -by Lieutenant Cushing, United S^Uvtes Navy, destroyed the rebel ram Albemarle Plymouth, N. C. The onlp moveable torpedo excepting Mr, Lay's invention is the white head torpedo, an Englislfiftvention The principal advantage whicli'the Lay torpedo possesses over the white head torpedo is that the former can be controlled in all its movements, first and last, by a single operator, whereas life latter passes wholly from the control of the operator as soon as it is despatched on its errand. Its contact with the object of attack is thereby rendered uncertain. The white-head torpedo if unsuccessful is wholly lost, while the Lay implement can be, if necessary, checked in its course, recalled and retained for another operation.
The internal machinery of Mr. Lays boat is a secret belonging to the inventor alone. The motive power is carbonic acid gas, generated in a receptacle similar to those used in the manufacture of sodawater. This receptacle is placed in the centre of the boat, and connected with the propeller by machinery. The boat exhibited to-day was constructed of galvanized iron or a similar metallic substance, of course water tight. It is cylindrical and elongated in shape, and its dimensions are 16 feet long and 19 inches in diameter at the centre. It is calculated to carry 100 pounds of explosive material in its magazine, although the charge this morning consisted of only one and three-quarter pounds of powder. Directly under the propeller at the stern is an iron rudder. Electricity regulates the motive power and directs the rudder. The applications of electricity, which are a secret, must be wonderfully ingenious, for the boat moves with the accuracy of a well trained horse under the guidance of an experienced driven The bladas of the propeller, which is about eighteen inches -in diamer, are of tempered brass. The magazine is affixed to the prow of the boat. As seen floating in the water to day observers could obtain only a general idea of the boat when in action. When in a conflict it will be submerged between three and four feet under the water, and two flags will afford the only guide to the operator. It was several inches above the surface of the water in the exhibition to-day.
Mr. Lay's invention is calculated to revolutionize the entire system of naval warfare, particularly that branch pertaining to harbor defenses and protection of fortifications, as well as open combat between floating navies. So fast as ship-builders have been able to construct the thickest metallic defenses for naval vessels so fast have manufacturers of guns been able to invent projectiles that will pierce them... The submerged torpedg is impregnable to attack. With its explosion it carries far wider destruction than the most terrific storm of shot and shell, and the loss of life inevitable upon a close naval conflict is entirely avoided The advantages of the movable torped. oyer fixed mines and the spar torpedo are so apparent that it is not necessary to enumerate them. The torpedo boat is calculated to be used in a most efficient manner for offensive warfare. It can be used as a towing-boat to effect an eneritrance to the harbor of an- enemy or approach his fortification even if they are protected with fixed mines or torpedoes in the channel. To the Lay torpedo-boat may be attached a line of floating mines connected with the operator's station as the torpedo itself, with electric cable. The torpedo-boat may be despatched with these floating mines in tow to Open
sunk irTpositMn Tsy^a^'' ai+ang^itieit^'pe-^ cviliar io their construction, still retaining their electical cable connected with the. operator's station. They may. be fixed at will. Mr. Lay has invented a submarine torpedo-battery- for harbor and coast defense. It is similar to the ship floatingtorpedo.

The London Horror.
London, April 26.—So far, eight corpses have been removed from the ruins of the theater Des- Arts, that burned at Rouen last night. About 75 persons were in the theater -when the lire broke out, but tha exact number of victims is not yet ascertained. &Jtf§
-79?
22.—Yesterday
a
arge number of invitations were given members of Congress and others fo witness an exhibition and practical trial of the Lay movable torpedo boat at the Washington navj* yard. At 10 o'clock this morning, the-hour, announced for the exhibition, a large company of ladies and gentlemen assembled on the torpedo boat Alarm, anchored oft* the navy yard dock, to witness the show. A number of Senators and Representatives, as well as high officers in the navy, were present, and the hospitalities of the occasion were dispensed by gallant Captain I loft, of the Alarm, and his handsome officers. About 10:30 o'clock a long dark-colored object, resembling, as it lay the water, a gigantic cigar was towed alongside the Alarm. Two sets of wires were attached to the top of this object, the moveable torpedo boat. The ends of these wires were carried to the top of an ancient hulk which la_v near tlie Alarm. Suddenly a splash ot water which revealed to the observers a propeller on the rear of the torpedoboat. war, heard, and it darted forward through the water at the rate ot about twelve miles an hour. It was intended to run the machine about a mile down the river, and stakes had been planted in the water to mark the course, but low tide and a dangerous bar had precluded that arrangement, and it was found necessarv to send the boat down the liver channel. Opera glasses and telescopes were directed to,vard the rapidly receding boat.

April 25, 1S76.
Henry Ward Beecher If it were possible, I would a.low' vou lo go down to your grave without adding to the agony with which conscience will follow you on account ol your unfaithfulness, false swearing and adulterv for I have not grown so selhsh in seeking vindication for the wrongs you have done me and mine as to forget youi past contrition, or to believe that no withstanding your wickedness you do not suffer great sorrow on account your crimes but in justice to society, which you have outraged to lmsel whom vou have wronged to my lainily, whom Vou have viUihed, I must bring forward an issue, if possible, to determine whether vou ought to be in the pulpit I ought to be in a prison. It is due to social order, the well-being ot the community, and religion, which is brought into contempt, that you shou! the one or I go into the other have made pretense, ever since
should leave You calling

dient that your wlly counsej could rest or your own ingenuity di_\i»e 1 1 Ifir mul Slionress evade impartial inquiry and suppress the l-u-.ts. As one of the instruments of such evasion, to injury my credit as a witness, you procured by your own perjury an indictment against me for libel upon yourself, in a statement which your counsel, Benjamin F. Tracy, in your name begged me to withhold from the investigating committee, of which he was also counsel, and which I only publishe vindication of myself from your charges, afterwards made to the sam committee. This indictment you did not dare to prosecute, but procured, through a willing instrument, against my protest and reiteration of charges against you, be taken out of court by a nolle pi ose-
To endeavor to bring the issue beh\ een us to a competent tribunal,^ I commenced a suit against you Tor malicious prosecu cution, wherein both tlie questions your adultery and perjury must be issue before a jury of your countrymen A«*ain evading the investigation ot the locts before? the only tribunal known to the laws of our country, you avoided the trial bv demurring to my allegations, and admitting that if all I said ot your adultery and perjury were true, yet you were not bound to answer my complaint, be cause of the success of your legal trick in getting rid of the indictment which you had so falsely and maliciously ob tained for your purpose of evasion. You demurred to elude investigation, notwitb standing from your pulpitj you declared your willingness and desire to be tried before a tribunal that, could compel witnesses, but nof before foxes and wolves, alluding to a proposed council ot ministers. You were ..talking then to an audience of your own choice, and for etfect Thcv thougTff yOtnsrave, -and cliccr ed you to' the echo. They believed you I did not, and do not now but I propose toehold you,'if I can, to your own decla ration. Being how desirous of submit ting the issue between us to a competent and impartial tribunal, and detei mined that you shall do.so or admit your intention to avoid and evade it, I submit tlie following propositions
I will so amend my complaint that the issue shall be, if it is not so oftered now, that by your perjury you caused me to be indicted for libel saying that you were an adulterer, you then well knowing that what I said was true. Waiving all formalities, I will go to trial upon this issue and I will agree that all witnesses shall be heard, without technical objection who know anything of any fact tending to prove that issue, either of their own knowledge or by the statement of either party concerned in the double crime, or any other testimony the tribunal before which the trial is had shall choose to hear. As I do not desire to get any money from you by mv suit, which would perhaps be paid from" the funds of the Church, which ought to be devoted to a better use than indemnifying you against the conse qucnccs of your crimes, I will ask no damages whatever, save the nominal sum of$i, if the issue is sound in my favor.
I will submit the issue to a jury sum moned in the ordinary mode, but if you say it would be impossible to get an un prejudiced and intelligent jury in the usual way, I will consent that cx-Presi dent Woolsey, of Yale College, shall se lect the jury, or I will leave its selection to George C. Robinson, of Brooklyn who was elected deacon of Plymouth church by acclamation, and whom you declared on oath on the witness-stand to be "one of the excellent of the earth," or to any man those gentlemen can agree upon. If neither of these propositions is satisfactory to you, I will name a man and you can another, and they too shall agree upon a third to act as referee under a rule of the Court If these offers are objected toby you am willing that ThomasG. Sherman and your brother, Edward Beecher, shall sel ect six men, and I will name two men to select six others neither you nor I, nor our representatives, to object to the men so chosen, and tlie verdict of the majority to be accepted by us as the final decision of the' case.
I think my propositions are not open to any moral objection, and I challenge you once more to a trial that will settle the question whether you ought to be in the pulpit or I in the penetentiary. rib unal, and I as properly distrust its im partiality and decline its judgement. The spider's parlor does not look inviting to the fly. If college professors and doctors of divinity do not see the validity of my distrust, the] sane and fair men who love justice and seek for the truth do see it Some: fair and just men fail to see why innocence should shrink from the estab-lished'modes-.ef* judicial inquiry and should fly for refuge to artfully devised methods in which candid men have 1 confidence.

You need not ask why I do not go be fore the commission contrived by your partisans in and out of the Advisery Council. The issue now is, did you com mit perjury, or did I and my wife com mit perjury at the trial in the City Court? I and those dearest to me have as deep an interest in the proper decision of that question as you have. If my picked friends were to! institute a tribunal to decide it, you {would properly distrust its impartiality and refuse to",go~ before, it Your picked friends have instituted such

A DIAL!
Between Qol. Grafton F. Cookerly and ail" Independent.
Aftei'- A Long Ways After— Slialcespeaiv.
From the Sullivan Union,
The following dialogue it supposed to have taken place on the Bates lloube balcony, Wednesday evening after the convention adjourned, between Graft, Cookerly, of Terre Haute, and a hungry Independent, who was unable to procure a tickct of admission lo the.convention:
Graft—"You pulled me by the cloak— would you speak with mer' Independent—"'Ay, Graft. tell us what hath chanced to-day, that Landers looks so sad."
GraiH.—"Why, you were with him, were you not?" Ind.—**I should not then ask Cookerly what hath chanced."
Graft.—"Why, there was a nomination oftered him and being oftered him lie declined thus: 'I have been resolved from the first that my name and Judge llolman's should not come in the Conventiontion together,' and then the people fell a shouting."
Ind.—"What was the sccond noise for?" Graft.—"Why, for that too."
Ind.—"They shouted thrice what was the last cry for?"' Graft.—-"Why for that too.
Ind.—"Was "the nomination offered 11m thrice?!' Graft.—"Ay, marry, was't it, and he declined it thrice, every time more angrily than the other and at every declination my honest neighbors shouted."
Ind.—"Who oftered him the motninationr" Graft.—"Why, Austin II. Brown, of Marion county."
Ind.—"Tell us the manner of it, gentle Cookerly." Graft.'—"I can as well be hanged as tell the manner of it it was mere foolery I did not stop yelling to mark it. I saw Brown offer him a nomination. —yet 'twas not a nomination either, of these coronets—and, as I told you, he put it by once but, for all that, to my thinking, he would fain have had it. Then he offered it to him again then he put it by again but, to my thinking, he was verv loath to lay his fingers off it and then he oftered it the third time he the third time more angerly than before declined it and still, as he refused it, the rabblement hooted, and clapped their chapped bunds, and threw up their sweaty night-caps, and uttered such a deal of stinking breath bccause Landers declined the nomination, that it almost choked the 'Pig-Sticker for he swooned and fell back in his seat, and, for mine own part, I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips, and receiving the bad air."
Ind.—"It very like he has the falling sickness/' Graft —"I know not what you mean by that but I am sure Landers Jell liack. If.thc tag-rag people did not clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased, und displeased thein, as they used to do a in he at I a ii in man."
