Mr.. BEEcHER AND THE DEMOCRATIC
PREss.-The Democratic press generally
swallow the bitter of Mr.. Beecher's sec
ond letter for the sake of the sweet in it.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
however, with clearer insight, says:
When Mr.. Beecher's first letter was
published we inquired with some inter-
est whether he would be martyr or
not. He prefers not, and, like a great
many people who failed to win the crown
for lack OF physical or moral courage, he
elects to go through process of recant-
alton, which, though not exactly salts
factory to himself or any one else, is &C
cepted as compromise. 1t can hardly
help his reputation. How much more
TO be admired is the position of a bold
and sincere radical or rebel, than that of
a man who drifts with the winds of
local or general opinion.
The New York Herald calls it "the
second letter from his holiness the Pro-
testant Pope, Henry Ward Beecher"

FALL OF GREAT MAN. Coming
down Chestnut street, st. Louis, one day
last week, writes correspondent,
was struck by the appearance of an old
man past sixty, who wore q threadbare
coat, shiny with constant wear, and
whose hat was bruised and seedy. His
head was bent toward the earth and his
walk was tottering shuttle, the effect
of whisky and old age. He reeled from
one side of the pavement to the other,
and at last brought!up against a lamp
post on the corner when young look
ing leafer coming up, saluted him with,
"Hulloa, Jim, come and take drink ?"
The old mans eyes frightened, and,
arm-in- arm, he sauntered along to the
nearest GROCERY with his companion.
Five years ago that old man was J.
Green, United States Senator from Mis-
souri,, and in the days CT the Kansas and
Lecompton matters he was, next to
Stephen A. Douglas, the ablest debater
IN Congress. But the war broke out,
Mr.. Green was sent to the rebel Con
gress, soon lost his property, his position
and his character, and now is a poor
drunkard, and earns barely pittance of
a living as calaboose shyster.

HENRY WARD BEECHBR's EXPLANATo-
RY LETTER-The sist Of Mr.. Beecher's
letter explanatory of his epstle that was
hailed as such a Godsend by the cop
per-Johnsons, is contained in the follow
ing extract;
"Neither am / o johnson man in
any received meaning of that term. |
accept that part of the policy which he
favors; but with modification. l have
never thought that it would be wise to
bring back all the States in body, and
at once; any more than it would be to
kept them out all together. One by one,
in due succession, under q practical
judgement, rather than by a wholesale
theoretic rule, would have them read
mitted. | still think middle course be-
tween the Presidents and that Of Con-
gress would be wiser than either. But
with this my agreement with the Presi-
dent ends. have long regretted his ig-
norance of Northern ideas and senti-
ments and l have been astonished and
panied at his increasing indiscretions.
Unconsciously, the President is the chief
obstacle to the re admission of the
Southern States. 1t is enough that he
is known to favor q measure to set the
public mind againstit. This is to be de-
plored. But, it is Largely owing to his
increasing imprudent conduct. | be-
lieve him to be honest, sincere in desir-
ing what he regards as the public good
but slow and unapt in receiving help
from other minds. Proud and sensitive,
firm to obstinacy, resolute to fierceness,
intelligent in his own sphere (Which is
narrow, he holds his opinions infexi-
bly,. He often mistakes the intensity of
his own convictions for strength of evil
denCe. Such man has true sphere in
periods of peril, when audaciOus firm
ness and rude vigOr are needed. But in
the delicate tasks of adjustment which
follow civil war, such a nature lacks
that tact and delicaCy and moral intu-
itiOn which constitute the true states
man. Mr. JOhnsOn's haste to take the
wrong side at the atroCious massacre Of
New Orleans, was shocking. The per-
version and mutilation of Sheridan's dis
patches need no Characterization. | do
not attribute this act to him. Yet it
was of such a criminal and disgraceful
nature that not to clear himself of it by
the exposure and rebuke of the offend
Ing party, amounted to collision with
crime after the fact. What shall I say
of the speeches made in The recent wide
circuit of the executive? Are these the
ways of reconciliation 2"
Mr.. Beecher says a great deal more,
but these are the most pointed passages
in his letter.

EXCURSION TO SUTHERLAND FALLS -
The Rutland Missionary Association
have concluded their arrangements for
the long promised excursion to Suther-
land Falls, and by the aid of commit
tees of ladies and gentlemen and the
liberality of the Rutland and Burling-
ton Rail Road, they are enabled to an
nounce that an excursion and pic mic
will take place on Saturday next,
A special train will leave the depot
in this place at 10 O'Clock a. m. and will
stop at Centre Rutland for those wishing
to accompany the party. Committees of
ladies will take charge of such provis-
ions as our citizens may wish to contrib
ute for the occasion, and will arrange
them for sale on the grounds. Games
of croquet and other amusements will
be provided.
The train will return at o'clock p.
m. The fare will be twenty-five cents
for the round trip, and moderate prices
will be charged for refreshment.
A general invitation is extended to all
to take part in the excursion, and as the
object in view is a good one-that of as
sisting the missionary association in the
prosecution of it's benevolent and praise
worthy work-our people should help to
make the occasion as successful as it
must be pleasant.
