Mr. FROST
said the question to bo determined by the Court
WAS the real condition Of the Company: It was
necessary to ASCERTAIN the assets and liabilities,
to the end that they might know the amount to
assess the stockholders il order to pay the
Company's debts. There Was nothing upon
which tie Court could determine what was
proper assessment, except the testimony Of the
Assignee and the books, which Ind been offered
in evidence. The amount proposed to be raised
was a9ss, ,Gs6.S3, which was required to pay the
fire losses. He contendcd that the stockholders
we're not only liable for fire losses, but
we're required to pay the full amount
Of their stock whenever it was called in BY tho
been said about the Inconsistency Of the Assign
ee's statement. Il, however, required more than
that the books were full Of fa1sehoods. He
claimed that the retiring Of stock WIS per-
solvent at the time. The items objected to BY
one Of the counsel were embraced in the assets
and liabilities and accounted for. The amount
asked for was reasonable and necessary, too.-as
little as would close up the affairs Of the Com
pany.
The Court took the matter under udgisemant.

Ir would be indeed difficult to name
the cause eelebre that is more celebrated
than that wherein is involved the for
tunes of the claimants of the Tickborne
estates. We are acquainted with i'm
partial and successful persons who are
convinced that no human being could
combine within himself the absolute
dearth of moral principle, the colossal
effrontery, the excessive ayarice, and the
stupendous courage necessary to sustain
the claimants position, if he were not
the heir to those estates, while we know
other equally impartial and successful
persons who think any one who can be-
lieye that the claimant is Sir Roger
'richborne is no better than fool. 1t Is
n case concerning which every one who
has examined it has formed some kind
of an opinion, and yet, in Il trial where
in about $50 witnesses. have been form
ally and informally examined and at
least fifty of whom either refused to
recognize or positively denied the claim
ants alleged identity, what encourage
ment is there to try to reach any con-
clusion? 1t is almost enough to make
a man forswear attempting to form an
opinion on anything. We are proud OF
the distinction of holding none, and are
we'll satisfied to wait for the official ver-
dict. This cannot now be long delayed
for there are but slender hopes of great
ly lengthening trial wherein even tho
lawyers engaged avow themselves
ssanxious for its termination

ED,TowIAL PARAGRAPHS.

THERE has lately been some discus
sion caused by. Mr.. Thoms' opinion,
eloborately delivered, that there is no
well authenticated case of any human
being living to be 100 years old. The
records of the Pension Office at Washing
ton have been searched to see if within
them could be found any undoubted
statement which should controvert the
expressed result of the investigation of
the former editor of Notes aud Queries.
In many instances the ages were ascer-
tained by examination of records in
family bibles, and. as the facts were
complied for the official use of the Pen
sion Office, they are entitled to some
credence. OF twenty-five of the last
surviving pensioners of the Revolution,
eighteen were found to be one hundred
wears and older. Among them is Nicho'
las G.. Vedder. of Glenville, Schenectady
county, N. who was enrolled in the
army in l777-S, and died in 1862. DAME
Waldo, of Onondago, n. Y, was lO;
years old when he died in 1864. DAME
+. Brakeman, of Freedom, Cataraugu
county, N. Y, died in 1863 aged lo
years. Others were LOG, 103, lOl year
of age, and so on. Careful examination
in many cases show, however, no abso
lutte proof of the age of the persons, ant
such proof is what Mr.. Thoms so Ion!
and carefully sought for.

nal law. At length, near month ago. the
public was surprised by the publication
OF a most singular tripartite covenant,
made BY Beecher, Tilton and Bowen, April
, 1872. 1t appeared by this that Bowen
and Tilton had circulated reports against
Mr.. Beecher's moral character, and that
there had been complaints, suspicious ,and
causes of enstrangement, and that the
three agreed to wipe out the past. This
may have been pure Christian covenant
| on all sides. 1t may have been penitence
| on all sides. 1t may have been profes-
| sion of penitence on the part of two, land an
act of Christianlike forgiveness on the
other. The difficulty is, no one knows
| what to make of it. In its best view, it
was thing to do, but not to put into q
| written covenant. The writing could be
of no use, save to show, and the showing
would subject it to misconstruction and
that would destroy its virtue. The reason
alleged for publishing this covenant is, that
Bowt N had said that he had never retrac-
ted the charges he made against Beecher,
and, therefare, the keeper of this covenant
says ii is time these ISLANDERS weretstopped
and he has made this start to stop them
And now Mr.. Beecher's permission to Mrs
Woodruff to publish, and his comprehen-
J sive denial, are drawn out by report thai
Bowen called on Woodruff to secure any
letters she might have from Beechel
eliminating him. Surely there is fou
posi- here. and it is time it was cleared up
Either these three persons have been liy
ing in sink of moral pollution while keel
: ing up a pretense of high CHRISTIAN char
, acJer and exercising the Office of Christian
teachers, or two of them have been guilt,
of pouring forth a stream Of filthy slande
2 upon the other, which. he has sufferet
, with most wonderful forbearance. Th
l matter cae no longer be kept silent. Tha
S which has come to light makes it incredi
q BILE that all of these parties can be limo
cent. The innocent is now suffering wit
5 the guilty. Forbearance is no longer
, virtue. 1t is time that the innocent wer
relieved from his bondage with corruption
= and that the guilty were brought back t
i the bar of public opinion.

The jury i'm the case of Walworth.
who murdered his father. compromised,
rs juries are wont to do, and although it
was confessed that he went with pre-
formed determination to shoot his father
unless ne promised as he required, the
Jury returned a verdict of murder in
the second degree, which implies kill
ing purposely but without premedita-
ton. There is singular contrast be-
tween the common habit of eXalting the
sacredness Of trial by jury, and the COM
mon contempt for the judgment of jul
ries. The first will probably be classed
by Mr.. Conway among his "Republican
Superstitions. The letters of the mas.
sacred Walworth, which were read to
the Jury, have called forth much horror
1t is singular they did not suggest the
idea that no sane man would write such
letters. They were sufficient to have
caused his sentence by the proper cour
to confinement as an insane person. Bu
they have presented only one side of {
bitter family quarrel. 1t is likely tina
there is another. 1t is probable tha
young WalwOrth Inherited taint o
this insanity. His conduct was not tina
of a sane person. This should not pre-
vent his Imprisonment for the murder
The quality.of sanity and of insanity i
relative. The balance of the passion
and the moral faculties is so different il
different persons, that if we were t
gauge moral accountability and lega
punishments by their relations, W
might find that all responsibility woul
disappear. Some time ago a phrenolo
gist was brought into court in q murde
trial to testify that-the prisoners pas
sions overbalanced his moral facultie;
and thereby he lost self-cOntrol, an
therefore was not morally accountable
But it is TO be observed that the insan
criminals are subject to the fear of pur
ishment the same as the rest. The
who have the mental connection to pla
and commit crime, have the ment;
connection to fear the punishmer
thereof. 1t has the same restraining il
fluence on them rs on others. An
surely it will be admitted that th
youth, who planned and perpetrated tn
murder of his father, should be impri
oned like another murderer, both to pre-
tect society from him and to warn il
sane people by his punishment.

EACH new development in the Beecher
Bowen-Tilton scandal but seems to leave
an additional cloud of suspicion around
the matter and to confirm the public
opinion, that, under all the known cir
cumstances, it is impossible for all of the
parties implicated to be innocent. The
recent letter of Henry Ward Beecher to
the Brooklyn Edgle-in which he states
that Mrs. Woodruff or any other person
having letters of his is given full per.
mission to publish them, and adds
"The stories and rumors which have
for some time past Leen circulated about
me are grossly untrue and | stamp them
in general and particular, as utterly
false''-has given rise to renewed dis.
cussion but not to renewed confidence
Not only was the long silence of all par.
ties implicated sufficiently ill-judged tc
have prevented the acceptance of al
unsupported statement, but the utter
ance of so comprehensive denial just
when the effort to crush Mrs. Woodruff
by criminal suit has failed, was so es-
