DISCIPLINE ON THE ROANOKE.

A story has circulated lately that there is lack
OF discipline on board the United States iron clad
Roanoke, which now lies IN the North River; that
the saiisrs are not punished II they get drunk,
and are not provided with enough food. An in
vestigation proves se report untrue In every par.
ticular. The discipline on the Roanoke ls perfect !;
the officers exqct 1t, and. as all the sailors have
been In the navy for years they obey IL easily.
The Roanoke Is regarded by sailors as q pleasafi c
place for duty, and some OF her crew are shipped
as landsmen, though they nave before rated as
able seamen. Her onicers, too. are men OF high
character, who would not permit the sailors to be
badly treated. The scandaious story IS attributed

A. H. STEPHENS LETTER.

The following political letter from the eminent
historian and statesman OF Georgia viii be read
with INTEREST,"
LIBBRrY HALL, CRAwPoRDsvILLE Oct. II, 1874
Mr.. r. BYRDsALL:-
MY DEAR SIR-Your letter OF the sth iust., with
enclosure Of Mr.. Charles OConors letter. &C., was
received this morning. Your previous letter, in
acknowledgment OF my Greensboro speech, was
also duly received. lam obliged TO you for both.
had seen Mr. O'Conors letter, but do not agree
with Mr. o'Conor's premises or conclusions.
The Tribune is central to the CORE SO also is the
Sun, and the World pretends to be democratic,
but Is democratic only on radical principles. I
had, however, seen Mr. O'Conors letter published =
IN several OF our Southern papers. I do not agree
with Mr.. OConor in his premises or conclusions.
He sets out with asserting that Grant had decided
that "Kellogg was duly elected.s Now, In point
OF Mct Grant has never decided any such thing.
After Kellogg brought his suit In the Federal
Court, as he mad right to do under the
aDomnable Enforcement act so called, all
that Grant did was TO aid in the enforce
ment OF the judicial process, as IT was
his duty to 40 under the act He had no right to
inquire either into the correctness OF that judy
ment OF the Court or the validity OF the election Of
either Kellogg or McEnery. These were questions
he had no right to decide. and he said so. He
only enforced judicial process. Mr.. Reverdy
Johnson made similar blunder; even Mr..
O'Conor. He says Grant decided shat Kellogg was
duly elected. This decision, ne SAYS Was wrong;
but, having made II, he could not correct it. On
this point Johnson has the advantage because
the truth Is they both wrong in their premises
and both quite botc In their conclusions. In my
opinion Grant did nothing but extend the act OF
Congress- 1t has been my effort for two years to
keep the democracy from the great error OF
making an improper issue with Grant on this
Louisiana muddle. The strength OF the democracy
lies in the truth. What they should assail is the
radical construction of acts Of Congress, from
witch all these troubles spring, and not this man
who executes the acts OF Congress as they stand
upon the statute book.
The great strength Of the democracy in 1876 is
an arraignment Of the radical party Tor all the
utter failures attending the reconsrruction so
called, and o grand centennial slogan arousing
the masses from one extent of Che country to the
other in support OF the principles announced by
Mr.. JefYerson ana the Congress Of the States, on
the Ath OF July, 1870. ''Down with usurpations and
up with the constitution !" should be the battle
cry In 1876. Yours truly

Two we'll known residents Of Flushing, George
Fl. Lott and William Smith, visited Jamaica on
Tuesday in carriage and started TO return home
in the evening. When they reached the ascent OF
hill on Flushing near Hillside avenue, within
the limits OF Jamaica village, three men, wearing
masks, suddenly sprung from clump of bushes
At the roadside, and one OF them attempted to
catch the horse by the head, but the animal SHED
and thus prevented the villain from seizing the
with . slungshot or q stone tied In handkerchief
but fortunately hit Mr. Lott on the shoulder In
stead. Almost In the same moment Mr.. Smith
drew pistol and discharged 1t at the one who at
effect, az the highwayman cried, ssOh. I'm shot ~
nnd MS companions hurried him away into She
woods Mr.. Smith then put the whip TO the horse
and the gentlemen arrived home without lurther
mOlcstatlOn.
A similar occurrence, but with different results
and which has only just come to the knowledge OF
the authorities, took place on Sunday evening last.
Just before sundown gentleman and his wife,
whiie driving on the Hoffman boulevard, near
highwsymcn vino, with drawn pistols, de-
manded the gentleman's watch and money.
These were handed over, when the robbers,
not yet satisfied, also compelled the woman TO
give up her earrings and nnger rings and the
couple were then permitted to 30 on their way.
Upon arriving az Jamaica the gentleman related
the occurrence. but maac no complaint to the au-
thoritieS.

occurred In the same ncighborhood witnin few

propose TO send out searching party 70 scour the

The eclipse of October 25 Is the first total eclipse
OF the moon visible to us since 1856. The eclipse
will begin at II O'Clock and 48 minutes p. NJ, at
which hour the moon viii enter the penumbra.
The proper or discernabe eclipse will begin at
l2 so A. NJ, and the eclipse Will be total at
O'Clock and 4 minutes, Sunday morning. The
middle phase Of the eclipse will occur at 81 A. M,
the end OF eclipse at 2:3s A. NJ, while the moon
Will leave the shadow entirely at :5s A. M. During
the eclipse, the moon Will present somewhat
peculiar appearance to Us. The penumbral
shadow, a. stated above will somewhat dim It's
radiance. Unless one we're upon the QMi
rfpe for It, one would not know when
the penumbral shadow had fallen. Sometimes In
phases OF total eclipse the moon Is entirely In
visible, bat ordinarily 1t ia Of dull reddish color,
like tarnished copper. Upon December, 1888, the
color changed TO blush green as the eclipse
passed on. In March, 1s4s, the same phenomena
occurred, which Sir John Herschel said was caused
by ~the accidental absence Of clouds over large
portion OF the earth's atmosphere grazed by the
SUMS rays at the time" Exactly how our total
lunar eclipse will conduct itself Is at present
little difficult to determine: but, 1t Ia event
which occurs only once in eighteen years, and as
one needs simply pair OF opera glasses to thor.

UNHERALDED ECLIPsEs
And, now that we are confidential about the
moon, let me make o revelation. There will be
three lunar ecllpses next year not in the alma
macs. When our great astronomers, Jayne and
Holloway, furnish you their inevitable calendars
for 1875, you will probably ind therein solar
eclipse set down for April ana another for Sep.
tember, but no lunar eclipse. Neither these cal
endars nor their great prototypes-the nautical
almanacs OF Greenwich and Washington-wil
hint that on Apri! 20, and September Is, and Oc-
tober H. 1873, there will De lunar eclipses
Ecfipses however, there will be- AZ seven minutes
and thirty-nine seconds past eleven A. NJ, New
York time, on the Goth or April, 1876
the full moou will be more than half immersed In
the eartn's penumpra. AT 81 minutes and "a Sec
onds past A. M, New York time, on the 18TH OF
September, 1875 the full moon will be immersed
about two diQits In the earths pcnumbra. Az 81
inmates and 43 seconds past p. NJ, New York
time, ON the 14th OF October, 1876, the full moon
will be Immersed more than eight digtts in the
eartn's penumora.
On two OF these occasions the moon win be on
the other side OF the world; but, on the evening
OF October H. those persons here who have facili-
ties for viewing she rising full moon will probably
observe faint shading on her southern side for
some time after rising as the twilight dies out.

the character of the two men. we
must also consider the circumstances OF
the two men. Mr.. Beecher is struggling 1or
his life. If he cannot repel this charge ex-
plain his unfortunate letters, and give
rational excuse for the cowardice ana pitifui
subterfuees which seem to have filled MS last
four years. he is ruined forever. lie can
nevar look an honest man in the face again.
His will be such fall as no modern pulpit
has ever known, disgrace from WHICH 'herc
can be no recovery this side OF the grave lie
ia an innocent man, or else desperate man.
But the case of Mr.. TiltOn is not less critical,
and Moulton will stand or fall with his
friend. Ii they cannot substantiate the charge
which they have been pressing so fiercely
against Mr. Beccher they are both irretrievably
ruined.
1t would have helped us to fair judgment OF
Mr.. Moulton's credibiity if he had explained
how it happened that when Mr.. Beecher pro-
posed to write for the public statement lof
"the scandal that would bear the light of
" the judgment day." no wrote in dissuadIng
him, You can stand if the whole case
"were published tomorrow" 1t would have
been we'll also If he had defended himself
from the charge of taking hush-money. That
terrible accusation remains practically
unanswered; nay, Mr.. Moulton admits
that he obtained $1,000 from Mr..
Beecher for TitOn's benefit, and spent it on
The Golden Age without telling Tilton where
it came from. Aud Mr.. TiltOn apparently had
no curiosity to know. Ga the other hand we
have, not testimony. but the suggestion of
testimony bearing upon the credibility of Mr.
Beecher. The old stories about the immOrali-
ties of the pastor of Plymouth Church. which
Mr. Bowen was accused Of prOpagating some
years ago, are brought forward again. They
were used by Tton in forcing Mr.. Bowen
to settle his claim for $1,000. They were dis
cussed at an interview between Tilton,
Bowen, and Oliver Johnson in December,
1870, and Mr.. MoultOn prints memorandum
in which Mr.. Johnson is made to say that
"H. G.. b. at this interview plainly declared
"that II. w. b. had confessed his guilt to II.
&C. B." If this statement is incorrect MIR.
Bowen or Mr.. Johnson will perhaps say so.
Meanwhile the case remains before the same
patient public which has followed it so long
with sOrrOwtul curiosity. Incredible weak
nesses have been disclosed in it, and terrible
blunders have been made by the defense at
every stage of its progress. But we mistake
the wisdom and justice of the people If the
great preacher and beloved pastor is con-
demned without much stronger evidence than
Mr. f. ID. MoultOn seems able to produce.

JUDGE or GOVERNOR.

If the question were an entirely new one,
we incline to believe that most thoughtful
people would consider it better that Judge
should not become candidate for purely
political office. But it is late in the day to
raise this issue. The tendencies of all our
politics, and experience in every State, are
against it. The people have made up their
mind to take Judges from the bench and send
them to Congress. or make Governors or
Senators or Cabinet officers of them, as they
please and it seems too late for successful
attempt to reverse the practice, or to raise
the judicial Office as an objection to a political
candidacy.
If Judges are to be candidates at all, no
Judge can possibly assume more dignlfied.
manly, and every way creditable attitude than
that which Judge Bedle has just taken in the
published correspondence concerning the pro-
posed use of his name for the GoyernOrship
of New Jersey. The Judge is willing to
serve the people of his State on the bench
or in the Governors chair as they may elect.
But he will do nothing whatever in the matter
himself, and will quietly continue to discharge
all the duties TO which no has been assigned,
without change Of habits or dminution of
work, until he shall be told that his services
are no longer needed, or are needed some
where else. 1t is from among men thinking
enough of themselves, their station, and their
State to take such an attitude that the office
of Governor can be most wOrthly filled If
Judge Bedle had any chances before, this cor
respOndence ought largely to increase them.
In point of fact presume he has now. as
he has had for some time, the best chance for
the Democratic nomination. IL the Republic
cans can make one equally good, the State
WILL in any event, be certain of result more
satisfactory than is yet assured to New York.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1874-08-22

to the foreign laborer, and whatever shortens
his wages cOmpels him to dispense with some
article or other that he has been in the habit
of consuming. From 1869-70 to 1928 our ex-
ports of bacon, hams, and beef increased from
e5, 100000 pounds to 427,OOO,OOO pounds; those
of butter ar cheese from 49,3O0.000 pounds to
s4,9OO,OOO pounds; those of lard from 35,SOO,Ooo
pounds to 230,5OO, 900 pounds; and those OF pork
from 80, 100000 pounds to 64,1OO,OOO pounds. A
part of these enormous increases may be
ascribed to the more active employment and
increased reward Of European labor, and some
effect may reasonably be expected to follow
the diminished wages and employment which
foreign labor has now to encounter. The
effect of superintendent crops and of dimin-
ished purchasing power of those who are to
consume them is to lower prices and cause
what so often appears in the annals OF England
under the name agricultural distress"
The latter disorder operates, after n WHILE as
a cure for the former Nothing but time is re-
ouired to cure both, but it is well to remember
that time is required. The reader, if he be
of discerning turn Of mind, must see that
the great figures of the last fiscal year are
not likely to be reached by the exports of the
year on which we have just entered. Two
influences of the most powerful kind are at
work to shorten the demand for our great
staples and the only sensible thing for those
to whom the public look for information on
subjects of this kind is to recognize the facts
as they exist We have no doubt that the
American farmers and planters will survive
the pinch, but we beg of them not to besiege
Congress for relief, for only harm can result
from any attempt by the Government to pre-
vent the operation Of the law of demand and
supply
