The Great Scandal.
Further Opinions of fhe press

The cross-examination of Theodore Tilton,
the essential parts of which are given this
morning, materially weakens the force Of his
statement and gives an insight into the pecu-
liar character of the man. What, for instance,
must be thought of one who affirms that the
extraordinary statement made public last week
was intended Ito produce the impression tina
his wife was pure!' The special instances
gwen in the statement of the writer's personal
knowledge of impropreties on the part of Mr..
Beecher are found capable of easy explanation.
Inc whole case against Mr. Beecher hangs
upon MS own letters, and the belief gains
ground that he will be able to account fer them
satisfactorily 1t is already tolerabIy evident
tnat II MIR. Tilton had not lost his profitable
situations as editor of the Independent and of
the Brooklyn Union, noschargesior complaints
would have been made against Mr. Beecher-

and excluding all the explanations made nv his
friends, and all the light which Mr. Beecher
himself may yet throw by detailing the prm-
airy facts in the case and the set O f circumstan-
ces under which each letter was written: talk
ing Grim. con. or no Grim. con. as the single
test to be applied in the careful analysis of ev-
cry line and word of Mr. Beecher's own most
private and confidential letters" we reach
this result. All the letters are consistent with
the no Grim. con. theory. Two of the letters
are consistent with either theory. Four of the
letters are inconsistent with the Grim. con. the
ory.-[New York World.
~ The committee who are investigating Mr.
Iiitoh's charges against Mr.. Beecher have this
morning confused still further a matter al
ready complicated enough. by publishing the
stenosrapher's report of Mr.. Tilton's cross ex.
animation before them. Thus pecemeal. by
lndiscreet revelations, enough of what has
transplred before the committee has become
public to indnce almost every body to pre- Judge

Current Notes.

Hon. William P. Frye, in accepting his
third nomination by the Republicans of the
second district, says that if elected he will give
to the performance of the duties of the office
an earnest purpose to serve faithfully his con-
stituents, the state and the country.
The Philadelphia Press tells us that the
prospects of the centennial are growing
gress is not in session?
The admirers of the military genius of Gen.
Mcclellan should keep away from the August
GALAXY if they desire to keep their faith in
that gentleman. The writer says that his
campaigns show that he is an excellent en-
gineer, but failure as general.
The Boston Journal thinks it is most sur
prising that the Portland Argus should so
heartily approve policy which will transfer
our ship-yards to New Brunswick, and sur
render our coasting trade to Canadian vessels.
Everybody thinks it is most surprising.
The Republican State Committee of South
Carolina, in call for state convention, says
that the national Republican party admon-
ishes the party in that state to retrace its
steps and yindicate itself by the selection Of
good officers. Excellent advice.
The Connecticut Legislature finally got
through on Saturday, and everybody seems
to be glad of it. The session has been an ex-
traordinary long one, but the results are not
sufficient to Justify it. Indeed, for ''reform
Legislature" it has been bad failure, and,
though good deal of its legislation was in

its record will go far to counterbalance any
possible advantage Of this sort.-Sprinafeld

The Burlington Haokeyel has the story Of
a young husband who took his wife to soda
fountain, and looking solemnly at the man
who asked them what syrup" said he
would take ''cTusade.' Imagine his horror
when she said she would try some. too. He
laughed feeby, but the cold sweat stood in
great drops on his clammy brow; but fortu-
nately the soda man never lost his presence
of mind, and while the husband threw in an
extra dose of Crusade" his wife made wry
face over ginger.
How this world is given to msrepresenta-
ton. Partisan editors labor to make their
readers believe that our public men are cor
rupt, worthless, and inferior to the men of
the past in. lntellect, integrity, and stateman-
ship. How demoralzing is partisanship. 1t
makes hypocrites, knaves, and shameless
slanderers ofjournalists. They ignore truth
and manufacture mountains of SANDER out OF
mole hills of truth, and do it just as naturally
as duck takes to the water.-N. Y. Com

AS Gen. Butler never goes into contest
for the purpose of losing, and as he does not
of late years call himself a Democrat, it is to
be presumed from this that he does not pro-
pose to run for governor himself. Moreover,
if he had any such purpose, we should prob
ably have heard from him before this time.
The fact that he is out of the contest is an
interesting one; it will make quite a change
in the character of the campaign, and,
though it may be lacking in some of the ex-
citing characteristics of the last few years,
it will have the interest of novelty.-Boston

Echoes Of the Veto.

TIE successful negotiation for the exchange
Of one hundred and seventy-nine millions
of five per cent. bonds for a like amount
annual saving to the Treasury of 81, 100, 900
more than enough to pay the salaries of
the President, Vice President, all the men,
bers of the Cabinet, the justices of the
Supreme Court and the entire House of
Representatives.
ness Of the President in refusing his assent
to measure threatening the invielability
of the public faith, has led to such an
enhanssasat Of the national credit, as has
eliminated in this suspicious result. The
bonds of the United States are now a fayorite
security 10 foreign markets, and as the loan
to be redseaed is largely held abroad, it
was desirable that the obligations which are
to replace 1t should also seek the same
channels Of investment.
In order to understand clearly the difficult
ties which Mr.. Brlstow encountered in &C.
conplishing this arrangement, it should be
borne in mind that he was expressly forbid
den by Congress from doing any act which
should even temporarily augment the govern
msnt debt. He could not, therefore, ex-
change a s per cent. bond for par in gold
which would have been a perfectly simple
and intslligible transaction, but could merely
enter into contract for the future delivery of
the new bonds upon the withdrawal CT the
old. 1t being necessary to give three months
notice to the holders of the outstanding FIVE
twenties before interest on them could cease,
he was compelled in the first place to ensure
the means for their redemption from the bid
ders for the new loan. No interest is to be
paid on the five per cents. until interest on
the six per cents. has been discontinued. The
subscribers to the later issue are not required
to pay anything but their two per cent. de-
post uutil the three months have elapsed,
but if they do, the loss of interest falls upon
them and not upon the government.
In view of these compiled tons the ex-
change has been very advantageously and sat-
isfactorily effected. There is scarcely doubt
but the six months option, given to the
foreign purchasers, will result in the disposal
of the whole amount, without any hazard
whatever of disturbing financial affairs at
home. and with the certainty of strengthen
ing materially the foun dations on which our
credit rests in the great marts of capital in
continental Europe. If these securities had
been largely placed in this country, we might
have been subjected to considerable export
OF gold for the payment of the bonds for
which they are merely substitute. This
possible element Of disquietude is obvated
and we are likely to have an accession rather
than adlminution of coin from the operations
of the Department.
From every point of view the transaction
seems to reflect credit upon the administra-
ton, and especially upon the new head of the
Treasury bureau. 1t has been managed in
an extremely sensible and business like wav
and will tend to confirm the good opinion.
which is so generally entertained of Mr..
Bristow's capacity for affairs.

AN ENTERPRIsING RAILROAD News AGEN-
ing newspapers, periodicals, fruit and candy to
travellers, was in an uDorganzed and chaotic
condition A few ragged boys jumped upon
train of cars at certain stations with such wares
for sale, or travelled short distances in the cars,
charging whatever they could get for whatever
they had to sell. 1t was matter of chance
whether what was wanted could be had from
them, but it was a certainty that the annoy
ance they would cause would far outweigh any
possible benefits they would confer. Of late,
however, the news agency business on public
conveyanceS has become SyStematiZed buSi-
ness by itself. Messrs c. r. Chisholm &
Brothers, if not the pic 1eers in this business,
are among the most extensive dealers, and IN
many particulars they have introduced i'm
provements that entitle them to the respect and
confidence of the public. They have banished
the little Arabs from trains, and filled their
places with respectable and respectful and neat
1y-unfOrmed young men who are governed by
rules, the violation of which subjects the Of
fender to instant dismissal. They have substi-
tuted for the weak and sometimes wicked lit
erature formerly peddled on the cars much
more wholesome class of books, and to those
who desire something lighter than the popular
novels, they furnish nothing that can be charged
with any graver offences than Stiffness Their
agents are placed on through trains and are al
ways at call. They thy TO discover what trav
elers desire and to have such articles in abund-
ance. By such means they have built up a
great trade, which is carried on over several
thousand miles of railroad, including the main
tenance of excellent restaurants at convenient
points, and are still extending their business.
Their success shows how well their efforts are
appreciated by travellers, and their method is
altogether commendable Advertiser.
