TiIton ON Eseecher.

Theodore Tilton, the editor of the Nec
York Independent, gives his good friend
Henry Ward Beecher few neat raps in his
leader of last weeks paper. AS Mr.. Beech
er has been accused of writing the editorials
in the Independent and denies it, Mr.. Tilton
reciprocates by solemnly assuring the pub
lie that he does not prepare Mr.. Beecher's
sermons for him. Mr.. Tilton goes on to
say: Nov, with so hearty, noble, and
grand friend as the pastor of Plymouth
Church, it is no pleasure for us to differ.
Nevertheless this is not the first time we
have had good ground for public differ
ence. Contrary to the Times, we think our
friend has now placed himself not right on
his somewhat unusual appetite for the par
don of criminals, though we maintain the
punishment of crime to be Christian duty;
nor to his holding up General Lee to the
admiration of young men, as a public in
structor, though we think a whipper of
slaves and starver of prisoners should rank
something lower than a gentleman; nor to
his new doctrine that intermarriage be-
tween blacks and whites should not be per-
mitted,' though, in our view, this is a ques-
ton only tor the parties themselves, and
may be safely let alone by man who has
so many other marriages TO attend to as Mr..
Beecher; nor to his declaring that President
JohDson's every act has been 'apt, fitting,
and most wise'-though Mr.. Beecher's Lam
guage, at this stage, sounds more like the
Democratic resolutions of New Jersey,
than the good old ring of Plymouth Church
bell" Mr.. Tilton goes on to say: "Mean-
while, we regret that the finest flavor Of
praise which Mr.. Beecher's sermon has
elicited is from the NeD York Daily Ne,os,
the leading copperhead journal of the
United States.n stJ d sioHq n's'

Lewis Cass.

General Cass is enjoying the quiet pleas
ures of serene old age amid his family, sur
rounded by all the appliances of wealth.
He was among one Of the earlier settlers of
the city of Detroit, and there he liv'is now,
with his children, in possession of the am
pie fortune arising from the increased value
of the ground which he has seen changing
from the rough, uncultivated, worthless
waste to the city slot and site Of magnifi-
cent structures, yielding princely revenues
to their builders. General Cass possesses a
taste for art, and has had ample opportuni-
ty for gratifying 1t during his travels In
Europe. His eldest son has inherited the
same taste with even greater scope for its
cultivation and more abundant means for
assuming the pleasant labors of the col
lector, and the galleries of both the General
and his son, Major Lewis, Cass, contain
many celebrated and rare works of art.
There is piquancy Of surprise added to the
qualification iof the senses in gazing upon
antique marbles dug from the sands OF
Rome in this new city of the West, which
has grown to such fair proportions within
the limits Of one mans lifetime.- = Exch.

A Female Bigami-t-she Weds too
Often-and Steals Her Victims
NlOney-Duplicily NOT Devotion.

$3.50 IFrom the Wheeling (Va.) Register.l
United States Detective Cook of Parkers-
burg, reached this city early yesterday
morning on the steamer New State, having
in charge a female sharper, whose name and
place of residence he was unable to ascer-
tain. The woman is charged with swind
ling Federal officers and it is said she has
been married to four differentmilitary Off
GERS within the last three months. The
first she married near Gailipolis; he was
young man who had just been mustered out
of the service, and had between one thou
sand and twelve hundred dollars in green
backs. About a week after they were mar
ried, the young wife alleged to have re-
ceived letter from her parents requesting
her to come home. She pretended to leave
for home, but before her departure she
managed to secure the greater portion of
her husbands money.
She was soon in company with another
officer, hasty marriage, hasty robbery,
and hasty flight ensued. A third officer
was soon duped, and week or two since
fourth officer fell victim to her caresses
and attentions. Soon after her fourth mar
riage she LETT her husband and went to
Parkersburg, where she was overtaken and
arrested by Officer Cook. When brought
to this city her delicate little wrists were
encased in stout pair of bracelets, which
were securely locked. 1t is said the woman
has succeeded in stealing over $1,000 by
her duplicity and roguery. She was yes
terday taken over into Ohio, where it was
thought she could be identified and brought
tojustice. She is young woman, notmore
than twenty-five years of age, and is rather
prepossessing in appearances. aH1H

An Old Republican Prefers Val.
landigham.

An aged citizen of Columbus, who stands
very high in public estimation, but who
votes the Republican ticket, was present a
few evenings since, at one of our Hotels,
when BABER and CoGGEsHALL were cussed
and discussed for the Senatorship, by par
ty Of gentlemen who nightly congregate
there. He is, like most of the Republicans,
'sdown on nVALLANDIGHAM." Knowing this
fact one OF the politicians present said
to him, that the Republican papers had
been very busy during the campaign,
trying to create the impression that
Mr.. ". was a candidate; now, he de-
sired to know who would be the old
gentleman's first choice, if the Democrats
should present VALLANDIGHAM, and the Re-
publicans should confine themselves to BA-
BER and CoGGEsHALL for candidate. Our
aged friend replied, that he would take
VAL In that case, as he was man of abili-
ity, at least-while neither B. nor c. had a
bit of sense, and it would be anything but
creditable to Ohio to send either of them to
hold the position that EWING and ALLEN
held In the better days that are gone. The
old gentleman manifested good deal of
Indignation over the action of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee respecting the
Senatorial Imbroglio. ucH fad a1H

ThS .IEigh-Pressur@ system, i'm the
Public Schools.


We are glad that the press As beginning
TO discuss the subject of the "high-press-
ure system" In the Public Schools; and that
It's utterances are all against the system.
Overwork In our Schools is just as injurious
to the body and as dangerous to the mind,
as the overworking of children in the Fac
tories ever was. ,Philanthropic effort has
achieved q great reformation as to the lat
tereyil; but the former Is growing "worse,"
and we are getting more Of it," In some
of the Public. Schools. of our own city, 1t
has become alarmingly prominent. u LIN the the
language of Mr. PHILBRIcK, Superintend-
ent Of the Boston Schools, t"thee Pupils are
overworked to such an extent as to consti-'
tute an evil of greatHmagnitude." He says
further: .,., i.s me
.The baneful effects of this mistaken sys-
tenn are not limited to a few individual pu-
pills, who come to school In delicate health
and without the ordinary power of endur-
ance. They are destructtUe TO The health Of
scores and huhdreds ioh0 commence their school
ife ,oith sound and uigorous bodies. DIR. War
rem says: "A close and constant occupation
of mind too long continued, lessons the ac-
tion of the heart; and languid circulation
thus being induced, Dreuents the full gro,cth
Of the BODY. Ii the opinion of this eminent
authority needed confirmation, our girls
schools could furnish it in abundance. Is
IL the design of Providence that all the
brightest girls should have the most feeble
and puny physical powers? But this ab-
sgrd theory could be established as scientific
fact by an examination OF our schOols-ifi 1t
Is only admitted that the children have not
been statnted By the processes Of education.
"Did my limits permit, could produce
evidence enough to satisfy any candid mind
that tqovertasking is a uery great eutl In our
schools--that it is an eUI tohich an Intelligent
community ought not to permit"
And yet, intelligent communities do per-
init 1t: they not only permit 1t, but they
allow 1t to get worse and worse.
The Teachers are also subject to press
ure, which is increased on the Pupils. 81
think" says Mr.. PHILBRICK, ''there are
some Teachers who put on the high press
ure, not because they think it for the good
Of their Pupils, but because they feel COM
PEELED to do SO for fear of being considered
inefficient II their Pupils do not come up as high
on examination as the Pupils Of other schools;
or. in other words, if they tail to send for
ward their proper quota, or are unable to
render satisfactory reason for each indi-
vidual case of non-promotion."
What is true of the Boston Schools, in this
respect, Is true, to greater or less extent,
OF most of our Public Schools; and we re-
fer TO the matter, in order that the evil may
be remedied. The Schools can give nothing
that will in any degree compensate for in
jury to the physical constitution of the
Pupil. The educational process that breaks
down his health, must bring the mind to
early decay, even though it does not break
1t down at first.
We call the attention of Boards of Edu-
cation to this great and growing evil.
