THE meagre telegraphic report Of
the seven column article published in
the Golden Age yesterday, viii not clear
the Tilton-Beecher mystery with such
as prefer to believe the great preacher
innocent of certain foul charges, foully
setforth some years since in Woodruff &
Clafin's Weekly. If Mr.. Tilton means
to say that those charges were true in
substance, We see no need of further
mincing words about it. Friends who
read the Woodruff article tells us the
charge was one Of adultery, duplicating
Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton.

WHEN the late King of the Sand
wich Islands was gatheredto his fathers
he was buried in feather cloak which
had passed down to him through gem
eratiOns of royal chieftains. As the
remains were about being placed in the
coffin and removed from the feather
robe on which they had lain in state,
the aged father commanded that the
BODY be buried in the robe, as the
dead King, his son, was the last of the
family, and to him therefore it belonge .
It vii cost more than 100000 to re-
place this robe, if it ever is replaced,
for one million of birds, possessed of
rare red and yellow plumage, were
caught to furnish the material of which
II was made.

prepared, it is rumOTed, under the direct
inspiration Of the Queen, and is intended
ID check the ritualistie practices now so
largely prevalent. The ritualists are fl-
rious about it, and declare that If it is Car
ried, the immediate consequence will be
the secession of a large number both of
clergymeE and laymen from the Established
Church, and the organization Of a church
of their own, with one or two ex-colonial
bishops at their head.

GETTING SATISFACTION.
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.


There was a difficulty between the
heads of two Dutch families in Macon,
which all efforts to quietly settle had
failed, until the aggrieved party, who
had positive proof that his marital
rights had been infringed upon, called
in Judge Lochrane. ''You say that if
he will pay $500 you will let the matter
DROP" "Yah; he pays Eat, me says
noting more pout it." The Judge, an
hour later, said to the other party: Il
think this unpleasant matter might be
amicably adjusted without going
into the courthouse with it. The
terms followed, and the Judge was paid
the sum asked, cash down. Leisurely
walking to the train, he stepped on board
with more than his usual dignity. In
about four weeks he had finished the
business of the German bondholders
and the Albany Railroad, and returned
to Macon. ''Shudge Lochrane, what
for you keeps zat five hundred tollar in
your pocket! ?" "Ah, l nevercharge
less than that as a retainer in a case of
that kind"

POSTMASTER GENERAL CREswELL,
the last of Grants original Cabinet,
resigned yesterday with neatness and
dispatch. His billet doux fails to ex-
plain why he did not resign one day
sooner, while the Senate was still in
session and might have participated in
the selection of his successor. From
the nomination of Attorney Gen
eral Williams for Chief JUS
tice, down to that of Boss
Shepherd for District Commissioner
the need for Senatorial revision of
Presidential appointments has been
frequently exemplifed. The springing
of this resignation without any warn
ing, only few hours after Congress ad-
journed, is an evident job, giving Grant
his own sweet will till next December in
the choice os a Postmaster General
Until the appointment is announced,
We are not going to believe that this
vacancy was thus held open for the
special benefit of Boss Shepherd.

New YORK, June 24-Theodore Tilton
published in the Golden Age this morning
| a seven column article touching the
Beecher scandal. 1t is defence of Tilton
against the charges ofRev. Leonard Bacon,
Moderator Of the late Brooklyn Council
that Tilton has been cowardly slanderer
of Beecher whose magnanimity alone
saved him from a disgraeeful ex-
pOsure. Having suffered in silence for
years from these and similar misrepTe-
seniations as directly put before the public
by the Plymouth Church, Tilton says that
neither patience or duty will permit him
longer 10 conceal the actual facts from the
public. He then goes on TO say thai he has
never slandered Henry Ward Beeeher, but
on the contrary has sacrificed his own re-
putatiOn to suppress the truth about him,
and that Ie never has refused to appear be-
fore the Church and answer all ques-
tions regarding the scandal that might be
put 10 him, and Tilton gives his reason
for
Seyering Connection
with the church as follows: "After had
beenfor fifteen years member of Plymouth
Church, and had become meanwhile an in
innate friend OF the pastor, knowledge
came to me in 1870 that he had committed
against me an Ofiense which forbear TO
name or characterize. Prompted by my
self respect Immediately and forever closed
my attendance on his ministry"
Beecher's Confession.
He publishes the following as an extract
from document signed by MIR. Beecher:
Brooklyn, Jan. l, 1S71.-I ask Theodore
Tilton's forgiveness, and humble myself
before him as l do before my God. He
would have beeu better man in my cir
cumstances than l have been. l can ask
nothing except that he will remember all
the other of the breasts that would ache. L

tiOn of the nation, and the reform made by
prayer, and TO the means used TO get rid of
the liquor traffic. lie said laws and moral
suasion do not do it, but prayer in national
reform will be efiectual. He said the war
must be waged upon the side-bOards of the
rich, and the bars of fashionable hotels as
we'll as low doggeries.
Tonight, Mrs. NJ. ". Barnes, Of Ohio,
addressed the convention on the
Impending Conflict.
She thought men were not taking rs
much interest in the temperance move
ment as they should, but allowed the
women TO do all the work. She referred to
the prohibitory aspect OF the temperance
question, and said men objected to it on
the ground that temperance should be
made spiritual question and not dragged
into the dirty pools of politics. She said
if the pool of politics is dirty, men were to
blame for it, as that has not been wOmen's
sphere. Her address was spirited and Gre
ated great applause. Short addresses were
made by Mrs. Renwick, DR.. Wales French,
DR.. Blanchard and others, after which the
convention adjourned.
