Rev. Henry Ward Beecher took &C.
casion, a few days ago, to unburden himS
self upon the overwhelming public and
nrivate denomination of the times. 1t
was a fertile theme and he discoursed
heavily. An universal dry rot infected
society and he scored it from foundation
To turret,stone. OF the Judiciary, he
says:
"The community is so low in its moral
tome that indignation cannot rise IN thun-
der arainst them. The justice OF the
courts, repeat, is rotten, rank and ioul'
I saw we are in more danger now than
before slavery was wiped away; for truth,
iustice and honesty have departed. Our
most sacred liberty and institutions are
being destroyed. Money rules supreme
and our:courts of justices stink with cor
ruption. We are in more danger now
than by being overwhelmed with slavery
Money is our danger and the corruption
which follows it."
THERE is good deal Of truth in Wha
Mr.. Beeches says about the country benz
in more danger now than before siaverl
was wiped away. Curse them for Wha
they might, they could not say that tn
Southern politicians were vsnal. The
did not steal the public money, or Pu
themselves up for sale. The loss OF the
men withdrew a wholesome amount
salt from corrupting mass. 1t remove
the restraining force of example and fe'
of exposure, and thenceforth the who
concern went downward with rush, lit
the swine possessed BY evil spirits.

Referring to the death Of the well know
actress Helen Western announced yester-
day, a Washington special says:
Miss Western was taken sick in Pitts
burg about five weeks since, of congestion
of the bowels, and came to this city about
eighteen days since, to play an engagement
at Wallis Opera House, and on the brst
night of her appearance was taken so i'll as
to render it necessary for her TO be re-
moved from the stage. She was then con-
fined to her room until to-day week, when
at the advice Of her attending physician,
she appeared on the stage on that night,
and on the Saturday following she was
again compelled to retire to her bed, which
abe never left afterwards. Yesterday after
noon DR.. A. Y. 8. Garrett was called IN,
and after an examination, pronounced her
case fatal. On Wednesday she was very
cheerful, and remarked that she would
soon be well and able TO follow her probes
sion. On that day, however, the Proprie'
tor of the hotel notified her agent that ht
had rented her room to another party, ant
that il would be necessary for them t
change to another, which was done. Th'
| exertion Of the removal excited and aggra
waited her disease, and was the immediate
| cause of her death.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE ON THE
SOUTH.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Express writes:
Chief Justice Chase, who has just re-
turned from Richmond, speaks in fiatter-
ing terms to the Southern people so far
as he was able to judge Of feelings. he
thinks there are no people more loyal, or
more anxious for peace and harmony be-
tween the two sections, and that, If per-
mitted to do so, they would very soon
recover from the disastrous results OF the
rebellion. The action Of the Chief Justice
in sustaining the motion to quash the
Davis Indictment was anticipated in this
correspondence, but it was not expected
that the vindictive nature Of Judge I'm
derwood would prompt him to dissent
and necessitate the question being certi-
fed to the Supreme Court. The Chlel
Justice thinks there is no doubt about
his opinion being sustained by the other
members of the court.
