BEEcHRR ExPLAINs.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher is out in a card, in which he says
know personally none Of the parties to this sad
history. had only vague impression Of the
facts. Those impressions, whether right or
wrong, were these: That a worthless man had
proved in every way unfaithful to his marriage
relations; that, worn out by ill-treatment, the
woman left her husband; that Richardson, after
the separation was final, became deeply inter-
ested in her; that she procured divorce which
was not only legal, but well founded upon the
strictest moral grounds. These were my i'm
pressions / confess that it would be difficult to
tell exactly on what grounds formed them, for
did not read any part Of the testimony that
appeared at the habeas corpus argument; 1 am
not reader or lover of such news. But those
whose judgment 1 greatly respect were
warmly on Mr.. Richardson's side.
If the investigation which win ere long be con-
Quoted shall show me that had formed judg-
ment injurious to Mcfarland, and incorrect In
regard to the other parties, shall accept the
truth and make such reparation to Mcfarland
as can. But no man can act upon any after
knowledge, and must depend only upon the
light which he has at the time. Whatever
changes may hereafter take place in regard to
my Judgment of the parties, it win not alter the
fact that then believed that they were legally
and morally divorced, and that this marriage
was at once an act of justice and Of mercy"

MEETING OF THE cHIcxAsAw mEmeHs, JOCKEY CT uB.
Arrangements for the Fall Meeting.
IErom the Memphis Apneal. July 81


The Chickasaw Jockey Club formerly known as
the Memphis Turf Association OF which General J.
r. Chalmers is president, held o meeting yesterday
al Wllictt's in pursuance OF call published In our
paper OF Wednesday. The meeting was well
attended, and disposed OF large amount Of i'm
pOrtant business. A programme was discussed anu
agreed upon for o fall race meeting which will be
held in the latter part Of October or first OF No
vember. The precise time cannot be fixed until the
Black Horse Association Of Nashville has agreed
upon the time Of holding its fall meeting. AS soon
as that Is determined. the secretary was directed
to issue his programme. The purses
than were ever offered in Memphis, even In the
palmy days OF the old Memphis Jockey CLUB amount
ing In the aggregate as we learn 10 nearly $1,000
The Chckasaws have certainly made a very liberal
beginning; but that they Will succeed admits Of
hardly doubt. This Is emphat.cally racing COM
munlty, and the public need only to be assured q
race meeting will be conducted with proper decorum
10 turn out yaasse. What better guarantee could
they desire than they have IN the composition Of the
Cnickasaw Club, which embraces many Of our best
citizens-gentleInen Of wealth, refinement and high
social position In such hands, there need be no
fear that the interests of The turf will suffer.
After long and harmonious session, during which
bylaws were adopted, many matters of interest dis
cussed and an executive committee appointed TO
carry certain provisions OF the bylaws into effect the
Club adjourned to meet again upon call OF the presi-
dent. The executive committee consists OF the
President L. Nj. Apperson and A. J. Hayes, any two
Of whom are empowered to act.
