then they are, in deed or in spirit
all TiIton says they are.
WAY?
From the Albany Evening Journal.
Why Should there be such eager
and inpetlous hasteto put the stamp
OF lnflmylon Mr.. Beecher's brow
Is 1t sncha gracious work to pull
down theexalted? Is there so much
ecstasy p cloatin9 over great
mans lall? Is there so much satis-
faction Improving that our idols are
worse thin common clay? II this
man mug go down, II we must NOR
allze ovei what would then prove
the saddlsl Of all dramas, cannot
tie piess asEsssse neople show tie
poor mercy OF at least waiting a
few days? Perchance there may
not be so much occasion to moral
ize after all.
IT WILL NOT DO.
From the Buffalo Commercial
1t viii not doio set Mr.. Beecher's
mere word Of Henial against Mr..
Til,on's affidavit1nd his production
Of letters over ID, signature Of his
wife and OF Mr.. Beecher.
If BEEcHER IsExoNERATED.
From The Buffalo ExpIrss.
II Beecher is ex0nerated, as we
had rather believe Sc will be, his
traducers, who have shown 50 much
desire TO hang him btfore he is tried,
will have an opportunity to repent
heir folly, or glory in their shame.
UNSATISFACTORY.
From the Utica q. " Observer.
We must say once more, not
harshly but emphaticaIly, that Mr..
Beecher's explanation is Fmsatisfac-
tory. Ii he can offer nothing better
than this in his own defense he must
do what he has promised todo. He
must "step down and out"
THE CURSE cArsELEss."
From the Wheeling Inteligencer
II there had not been something
very suspicious in the intercourse
between Mrs. Tilton and Mr.. Beech
er, all this misunderstanding could
not have arisen. Mr.. Beecher would
not have been agonized as he has
been, and Mr.. Tilton and bis wife
would never have needed to fall oua
and make up, aud then finally sepa-
rate. The curse causeless does
not come, and the minister who
wears the white flower Of blame
less life does not find himself in Mr..
Beecher's present predicament,
Hg Mat SHOW
From the Utica ~ " Herald
The charitable hopes and belief OF
the people are not justified thus far.
II Mr.. Beecher cannot refute the
case made against him he stands
condemned. 1t will not help him to
say that Mr.. TiIton is of a peculiar
temperament; that in his hands no
one is safe. He must show that the
documents, confessions, and plead
ings are forgeries, or were wl.tten
with IN altogether different object
than is here made to appear.
BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT.
From the Indianapolis Journal
II the journal has expressed it.
self warmly in regard TO the prelim-
mary statements OF NJ. Beecher and
Mrs. TiIlon, il was With a feeling OF
bitter disappointment because they
fell short Of furnishing the complete
vindioation which Mr.. Beecher's 5
friends expected.
raE Committees VERDICT OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t will noJ matter in the least what
verdict the Committee may render
i'll this distressing case, for it has
gone beyond jhe Committee OF Ply
mouth Church 10 a wider one, and
Henry Ward Beccher is being tried
now at the bar Of public opiHion.
It therefore becomes him to make
his innocence absolutely clear-so
clear that all the world may see and
know it.
MORE LIGHT WANTED.
From the Springfield (Alass) Republican.
1t is impossible TO sit down TO a
comparison OF NJ. Beecher in his
own denial and OF Mr.. Beecher III
his statements as produced by Til
ton, and feel that the denial is suffi-
cient to It's purpose. The public
now have documents and signatures
before them which no mere after de-
nial can eface. They require a
more plausible explanation than has
yet been given. Mrs. Tilton's state
ment does more damage 70 Villon
