Truth from an Unexpected Source.


The Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER,
in his last Sunday discourse at
Plymouth Church, took up the sub
ject, and a fruitful one it is, of Leg
islative and Congressional corrup-
ton. 1t is a theme which, in the
olden time, would have been dis
cusSed elsewhere than in the pulpit,
but now, as all our preachers have
become statesmen, and instruct
their congregations principally in
the science OF political economy
and in the movements Of parties, 1t
is quite apropos and proper. Mr..
BEEcHER says:
'The men at Washington and
Albany sold their country; they
sold their humanity and their honor
and the trusts that were put upon
them by their constituents. They
were debauchers of the young; they
were the traitors; they had lifted
the sword were not half so much
traitors; they that despoiled the
old banner and trod it under foot;
they that fired upon the Govern
ment of the United States, we're
not half so much traitors as those
vermin who were crawling under
the foundations and destroying by
corrupting the vital power of the
Government"
The "men at Washington and AL
bany" thus portrayed are Mr.. BEE
cHER's political friends and allies
He knows them, and his testimony
is the best kink of"State's evidence.
Nevertheless, we are convinced
that when next fall's election rolls
around, Brother BEECHER will be
rallying Plymouth Church to con-
tinue this corrupt dynasty in pow
er,

These remarks do not apply to one religious
society more than to another, but to all alike.
This feeling we have described briefly, has ev-
identity increased within few years and is
now on the increase. Perhaps it may not
manifest itself so much in the country as it
does in our cities, yet it is seen there in some
degree. We have no disposition to discuss
the philosophy Of these manifestations, or to
consider now whether more good than evil
results from them, but merely to state what

A YANKEE school-marm, writing from Rich
mond, Va, to the New York Citizen, expresses
her surprise and astonishment at very many
things she finds in the city of seven hills. She
clearly thinks herself in parti6us tnddelibus.
Being very selfsuf6cient she, of course, dis
dains to ask for information Of those able to
enlighten her. 1llumined by an inner light,
these people seem to arrive at q knowledge Of
facts from intuition. Mistaken or nlisstatc-
mcnts innumerable are the consequences. We
have terrible original homly on the unpar
donable sin Of tobacco chewing But nothing
can escape the vigilant eye OF this censor. The
Virginia bellies come in for share Of her
structures. It seems they do not manage their
'tilters" in the prescribed fashion. She says:
''The streets are paved with brick, with open
sewers, which are nuisance, and in crossing
which the Richmond ladies give a peculiar
swing to their pctticoats that is enough to up
set the gravity Of the gravcst Knickerbocker."
grave suspicion haunts our mind. THIS is
strange-rnuded woman, desirous Of forming O.
class in Mterology; SO she opens her school BY
first teaching the said Richmond ladies their
ignorance. Let her beware This is danger
Gus ground. Let her not rouse the wrath OF
Church and Shockoe Hills, or she may find
herself some fine, frosty morning in the per-
formance of an Involuntary ablution, in the

rY HIenwAr RosBERr.--A series Of robberies,
By thrss highwsymsn, were committed on tho turn
pike, between Bear Gap and Mt. Carmel, on the
afternoon of the 2<th ult. The FIRST persons robbed
we're Isaac Hummer and boy from Rush. The
robbsrs, with revolven In hand, caught the horses
and demanded t1eir money or their lives, and took
from Mr.. n. $50 and his new overcost and from tho
boy $3.50. Soon after they robbed Peter Yocum, Of
Bear Gap, Of $50 and silver watch The neEt vio-
tim that came along was Simon voughl Of Montopr
county, from whom they took $50 The fourth
victim they encountered was Abraham Hans, from
near Lewisburg, from whom they took $ls and q
tevolver, The fifth was Warrington swenk, from
near Elysburg whom they relieved Of 50, and
raped him on the head with . revolver because ho
had no more. These robberies were committed in
the space Of an hour. The condition Of affairs in the
coal region, near Mt Carmel, Is terrible Many Of
the miners are out Of employment, and lawess men,
innamed with liquor, threaten to rob- and shoot II
necessary, all travellers that are supposed to have
money. Several Of the conductors the railroads,
near Mt Carmel, have been assaulted, and now
carry revolvers.
