The Beecher- Hilton scandal is once
more brought prominently to light by
the publication in the Golden Age Of
long statement over the signature
of Tilton, addI essed to the Rev. Leon
ard Bacon, who presided over the
Brooklyn Con gregational Council.
The Brooklyn Eagle gives what it
says is truthful statement of the
offence charged against Beecher, as
follows: Tllton is understood to have
discovered, from Mrs. Tilton, that
Bcecher made to her an improper over
tuie in her own parlor, while calling
upon her as pastor. The overture
WAS not mistakahle, it is alleged, and
it was repelled with indignation and
scorn, and after retaining the subject
in her own mind for some time, Mrs.
Titon was finally constrained to tell
her husband. 1t is alleged that he
told Mr.. Mou'ton, mutual friend,
and that Moulton and Tilton conflon-
ted Beecher. The Eagle concludes
by stating that both Beecher and Til
ton were perfectly satisfied with the
settlement OF The matter. II is stated
that Triton visited the Rev. DR.. Ba-
con at his home in New Haven on
Friday, and showed him the letter
which lie las just published, and all
the correspondence between himself
and Mr.. Bccchcr. T;lton informed
DR.. Bacon that he should publish
these documents, and suggested to
him the propriety, if he saw fit, Of
making such public rctraction of his
late speech and articles in the hide
pendent as would withdraw the neces-
sitA for the publication of the whole
matter by himself. The latter infor-
med Dr. Bacon that he only desired
to he set right in the matter, and also
desired, if possible, TO shield Mr..
Bee&her; but DR.. Bacon, after read
ing the documents, declined 10 have
more TO do with theaffair.
The following New York despatch
to the Bosto press exhibits the last
base Of the affair.
New York, III u 'sday, June 80.
The Rev. Lcon;r Bacon. TO whom
Tilton's letter was addressed, stated
to Tic Rev. Mr.. Budtling,on of Bro, k

case on which it could stand before
the Christian world. He also said
that, if Tilton had not published II c
letter, he (Bacon) should have dol e

All interview with Theodore Tilton
concerning the scandal. Tilton de-
clncd TO give the name of any one
person WHO had seen the letter d
apology which he, Ti!ton, published
as having been written by Beecher

zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. Tho most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
Weld to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, wore
they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves UNI
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unpereeived attack OF Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurabe, and too often fatal, If neg
lected Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
mutitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Infin-
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, aborous, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared In making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable OF producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

JOHN G. ENGLISH, JR.

The sudden death of Mr.. John
G. English, Jr., is one of the sad
dest we have to chronicle. For
many years he had been in delicate
health, and the mere fact that he
held life by a tenure apparently
more uncertain than usual, had
drawn attention to his modesty and
virtues. lie was born in Mississip-
pi, but for a number of years was
a student OF King College, grad
uating in the class of last June
In all his walks there was exhibited
a demcanor both modest and dig
nified for Nature seemed to have
stamped him with those peculiar
capacities which are calculated to
adorn and bless the circle inside
of which are the highest sanctitics
of home and companionship.
We imagine that if he had lived
to grow up into the gray dawn of
mature age he would have made a
model citizen, and we can sensibly
appreciate the sorrow, which, for its
>eason at least, must sit about the
family altar SO lately graced and
endeared by his presence. But
these things must be, and this little
bit of history, which seems to end
Eere, has but been caught upon
some nobler pen, which upon the
nobler and indestructible page of a
new life will write Of him we
mourn a brighter record than man
can make in Thu sublunary life.

THE VETO.

On last Thursday Gov. Kemper
vetoed the new charter for the city
Petersburg. The bill had en-
countered serious opposition in the
Senate, and both Houses had given
the subject very scrutinizing atten-
tion-so much SO that it was be-
hoved toshavo been carried beyond
the reach of adverse criticism and
opposition within the State. Ger
tain mutterings Ct discomfort
threatened an appeal to Congress,
but no one seems to have dreamed
that Gov. Kemper would for a
moment question the character of
q measure so thoroughly endorsed
by his own party and by its ablest
lawyers pronounced free from Con-
stitutional inhibition. In this cons
dition of the public mind his Teto
fell upon the two houses like a
hurricane upon sleeping city
The amazement OF the Senators
and Representatives seems to have
been as complete as it vas sudden.
Angry and harsh criticisms came
from some of the Governors most
devoted friends. In Geographic
moment Petsrsburg-which late
had burned and blazed with en-
thusiam for him-Petersburg
whose united voice had few
months ago shouted kemper, fairly
shook With furry at his unexpected
blow.
Without asserting that this new
charter, by Selling the whole Gov
eminent power of the city and rest~
ing it from the qualified voters
thereof and lodging it in the Leg1
stature, did in any technical way
nfract the State Constitution, the
Governor says boldly that i is in
violation of tho whole spirit OF
popular government; that it would
disrupt the political peace of the
Commonwealth, impair the con-
ciliatOry feeling between the races,
and especially unsettle and disturb
the peace of Petersburg itself. The

GOING FOR RODERICK
RANDOM.

Forty-four of the free and in
dignart Republicans OF Hamblin
and Hawkins call loudly for con-
vention to bell the Red Fox Of
johnson, and tEey. name Bulls
Gap as the place and the first day
of May as the time. The move-
ment is in the interest of Gillen>
waters we presume.
These men want The rebel voters
to come over and help them, and
yet one of Judge Gillenwaters' pa
pers comes out squarcly with the
point that Butler has allowed GER
tain Federal Offices to be filled by
men who are "neither white nor
coLoRED republicans, but Simon
pure democrats" 1t says the ne
groes ought to have small share
Of this patronage.
From the first we have waited to
sec what good thing these men had
to say to poor despised and abused
rebel whom they wish to vote for
this Northern Methodist political
minister, and now, l;ere we have it.
The objection TO Butler is that
there are a few white democrats
he has failed to displace with ne
groes. We like this and we can
hardly wait until the election for
the itching desire we have to take
all our friends to the polls and ask
them to vote for man, whom we
are led to infer, will turn the white

SUMNER,

With the fall of Senator Sumner
disappears the last of those truly dis
tinguished public characters who
were prominent in inaugurating the
war OF Secess on, lived to participate
in its herculean struggles and sur
ylved the severe ordeal of a read
justment Of the Union. 1t cannot be
asserted OF him that he was, in any
enlarged sense, a statesman. Those
who sympathised with him may pic
ture him as the Paul sent to the Afri.
can gentiles with the gospel of eman-
cipztion, and no one will deny that
be was faithful to the mission. No
change in public sentiment ever avail
ed to shake his resolution. Neither
clouds, nor war, nor personal punish>
ments veered him to The right or left,
but abandoning all SYM athy for his
own kind. shutting out the sweet
lights and allurcments of his owl,
family affections, and feeding on the
Shiny plaques Of malevolent preiudi-
ces, he went forth with the fury of
D IN DIX tie and the patio, c. ola mar
tyr, until there was not a slave left in
the Union, and then, as though fired
by force he could no longer restrain,
be turned upon those whom lie. had
vanquished and endeavored TO en-
slave and degrade them.
God in the allegorical dialect Of
events, seems to have decreed dra>
matte closing of SO unnatural and
cold, though brilliant career; for
when the stern minister of His invin>
chile Kingdom interviewed to stop its
prosecutions, and began to draw
about it the harp limits CT death and
the doomed hand reached forth as il
to fight against God, by committing
to other hands the unextinguished
brand of civil discord, that hand was
seen to fal', and tie vail of morta
darkness fell about him. SO that he
exclaimed what doth hinder me from
seeing clearly?" Ohe feeble attempt
to brush away the sword of death
and all vas dark and still with him
forever!
Like Thaddcus Stephens bis apostle
ship of love had become the apostle
ship of hate, and like Stephens lie
died divorced from woman kind and
those divine affinities which often
and adorn the rudest and |
coolest figures of history.
His was a vigorous and polished |
mind devoted to boundless agitation,
so much SO that, while smaller ones
we're bent upon pccuniaTy gain, he
'Oared to the more conspicuous and |
colder crags of aggression. and while
the world will write him au honest |
but furious fanatic, it had as we'll be |
said that it seems good unto US that
he has at length gone hence forever. |

Governor seems to have anticipated
the ungenerous criticism OF a per-
ton of the conservative party, for
he closes his message by declaring:
"If my objections are 10 be con-
demned and reproached ; if my POI
htical friends arc to become foes.
and as such begirt my official life
in the future aud if the pathway
of duty shall he lighted with the
blaze of my burning efigits; never

faltering step TO the end"
Senator Hundley, of Bucking-
ham, gravely intimated that the
veto had its origin in a movement
which threatened the integrity of
the Conservative party, meaning
clearly, that the Washington visit
of Gov. Kempcr was meant 70 per-
feet a new party friendly to the
President. Senators Cochran and
Pridcmore having opposed the pas
sage of the charter regarded the
remark as applying equally to
them and Mr.. Hundlcy then dis
claimed any such intention.

message Of Gov. Kcmper came
down with much the same effect

SHALL KEMPER BE CAR
RIED OFF THE FIELD
AGAIN?

Gov. Kemper was burned in efIigy
by portion of the Petersburgers on
last Friday evening, and we are told
that the city was placarded with
printed calls for 500 men, to lynch
him, and that on the bills was con-
spicuously displayed black heart
In one of the doggeries, denominated
Saloon, one OF its patrons proposed
this toast:
Gov. Kemper may the sun refuse
''to shine on him, the earth to give
him a grave, heaven a home. and
may God damn him for ever"
The index and Appeal boldly init
mates, if it does hot absolutely
charge, that he has formed with the
President, IN allIarc =. for the purpose
Of betraying the State.
We are not in favor of holding the
gallant Cockade City, responsible for
these excuses of some of its citizens.
We are satisfied that on mature re-
icction, they will regret them. a
nobler people does not exist in Vir-
GINA, and the sad fact of a fagrantly
mis-goycrned city, sits like an incu-
bus on their energies. But we be-
them to reflect that the gallant man
who was carried in a blanket from the
bloody front at Gettysburg, has in
darker days, withstood for them,
more lion sIcct. than this which now
comes from Virginia moltlrs, ard
that he occupies a more conspicuous
and responsible exposure, than even
those Senators and Delegates who
consented that there should be one
sort of Government for those Virginia
cities and towns, which are c0nserva-
tive, and another for those which are
republican.
We too regret, sorely that wise
and prudent use Of power, must re-
mand them to a doom, which We did
not invite. but which they and all
Virginia did accept. II is too late to
go back ana uproot the Walker move>
meut, and 20 attempt it, would be
to SOW again an evil wind which has
been stilled in Virginia, but which
would fill our future with tempests
which We will have no heart to reap.
We do not for one moment qucs-
ton the purity of the motives which
have impeiled the Governor to the
performance Of a painful duty, and
We are compelled to decline the invi-
tatlon to assault, as unsound and un-
wise. those reasons with wh ch be
caused the Senate in its ardor to
pause and reject upon the madness of
cutting those bonds which have thus
far kept chained, the demons OF par
tizan fury in the commonwealth.
