tions show that Mr.. BOwen's SANDER
Gus hostility to Beecher was changed
to love by business considerations, and
that he desired Beecher to relieve
him from some social odium; and that
with this secured to Bowen, and with
the large sum of $1,000 in the hands
of Tilton, they both resolved that
there was nothing to come between
their love for Beecher.
We come now to the letters of the
Hookers, the Beechers, Mrs. Wood
hull and others, Moulton tumbled
these in for quantity. They contain
no evidence, and they have been dis
posed of in the public mind. Mrs.
Hooker was infatuated with the
Woodruff, and believed what she pub
lished must be true. Her mind dwelt
upon it till it become monomania.
Mrs. Woodhull's unjust imprison-
ment intensified her feelings. Her
earnestness persuaded Thomas X.
Beecher that something was wrong, a
thing for which he was prepared by
his notion that H. w. Beecher was
unsound in orthodoxy and had gone
astray into abolitionism. A sister,
having the Beecher gilt of language,
excited with such a mania, and bent
ON scene, was enough to make min
lister anxious in many ways. She was
filed with the idea that truth required
her TO drag Beecher before his church
in a grand confession scene, of which
she was to be the master Of ceremo-
MES. The notion was lunstic even il
he were guilty. Yet we see grave
critics pronouncing that all this was
normal. Beecher took such course
as would soothe her mind and restore
her to quiet. ~
These letters tell only of the effect
of the Woodruff scandal on diseased
mind. They are not evidence against
Beecher. The long letter of Mrs
Morse shows nothing but the distress
ed state of Mrs. Tilton under his pow.
erty and i'll treatment.

TIE AMERICAN Nuns.

The Catholic World, for June, gives
a pretty full history of the progress
and work of the American nuns. The
article in question states that twenty
five years ago there were only sixty-six
conventual schools conducted by nuns
or sisters In the United States. Now
there are four hundred academies and
two hundred and forty select schools,
or an average of four to each diocese.
These are all pay schools, but the poor
schools taught by thesereligious women,
including the parish, free, orphan, and
industrial schools, are reekOned by
thousands, and the pupils attending
them by myriads. In the Diocese of
New York there are forty-six Of these
female schools, with over 10000 child
ren, whose tuition is gratuitOus, besides
some 5000 inmates of orphan asylums
and other charitable institutions for
juveniles. In the Philadelphia diocese
there are thirty five sisters free schools,
with an attendance OF nearly. 10000
pupils, In addition to the orphans. 1t
Is estimated that the expenses of this
great work of charity, If 1t were rot
performed without compensation, would
be at least SS,0000O0 annually. The
World estimates that about $4,000
female chilreu are now under the care
of the nuns Of the Catholic Church.
The nuns also superintend some three
hundred orphan, founding, deaf and
dumb, or other benehcent institutions.

A CITIZEN of Atlanta, who evidently
watches over the financial honor Of his
State with a jealous eye, writes to the
NeIU York Bulletin: The editorial. in
your issue of June %, on Southern
State Finances, in my opinion, does
some injustice to the State of Georgia,
by chasing it with those States that
are in a bad fix financially. The State
Of Georgia pays the interest and prin-
cipal of its bonds promptly at maturity,
and its credit is good at home for the
money it wants. A large quantity of
new bonds were sold, principally at
home, last year at about par, and the
people here consider them a sure and
safe investment"

Charleston, ). C., Correspondence Of the New

Ignorance, poverty, and oppression,
VIII produce a low state of morals
among any people, and the negroes Of
South Carolina are no exception to the
rule. 1t is perhaps not to be expected
that husbands and wives who for years
lived in daily expectation of being torn
asunder and sold into distant parts of
the country, should cherish any very
proper idea Of the sacredness of the
marriage tie, or that the offspring of
such parents should know much of the
value of virtue. Whatever may have
been the cause, the fact remains the
same. The colored people of this
State are morally IN a most ter
rible condition. Outwardly they
are great professors of religion.
Their peculiar rites, ceremonies,
" shouts and Observances have
so often been described that 1t is not
necessary to comment on them here.
1t is enough to say that with all their
