GRAND ARMY FAIR.-Ths proposed Fair I'M
der the auspices of Post Bosworth will begin
October 9Th and continue through the week.
The various committees of the Post, ably as
sisted by several ladies, are carefully working
up the details, and we have no doubt but that
it will prove decided success. A committee
is seeking contributions of money and other
aid to which the generous and patriotic will
promptly respond. The committees give much
time for which they receive nothing, and this
fair will be managed with that strict integrity
and unselfshness which characterzes all the
financial affairs and labors of the organiza-
ton. A society which pays out over $1,000
year to take care of crippled soldiers and the
needy families of those who died in the army,
is deserving of substantial encouragement.

Did you ever admit this in any form or in any
words?
Al never.
Odd you ever in fear hold any such rela-
ton, do any such act or utter any such word?
A-Never.
The Money Paid TiItsn.
Q-ln your statement you have alluded to
non-payments of $4,000, Have you furnished
any other money to those parties?
Al have furnished at least $4,000 besides
the $4,000,
QETo whom did you pay that money?
A-To Mr. Moslton,
Gin val. Gus sums?
parsly in checks.
,Q-Have you any of those checks?
Al have several. l don't remember
how many.
C-Where are they?

23d, 1871, drawn on the Mechanics bank to the
order OF Frank Moulton and endorsed in his
hand writing and one of Nov 10th, 1871, pay
able to the order of Frank Moulton, and en-

| come to pay the $4,000 in one sum-
the whole difficulty conld now be settled for
| that amount OF money, which would put the
| affairs of the Golden Age on square footing,
| that they would be able to go right on and
| that with the going on of them the safety Of

All others must be pretty well run down
when m assured by the standards of a
few years ago The people who for the
past year have been wearing out and
using up the old articles they had on
hand, trusting TO the return Of better
times before venturing to spend their
money for something newer or more
convenient or satisfactory, must
have got pretty well to the end of their
reserves of old stock, This has been a
wholesome experience, bringing with
it lessons of economy and utility, but
still, like all other lessons and expert
ences, there comes time when these,
like all others, have to be practised un
der new conditions or upon new materi-
ais and new articles, because the old
ones are no longer usable. Such drafts
upon reserved resources and old stores
carried on for nearly year must have
left good many gaps TO fill up among
the stocks of goods, wares and merchan-
disc that makes up the essential stock
in trade for country like ours, and the
filing up of these vacant spaces ought
to set into motion nearly all of those
numerous wheels of industry that have
been idle or partly idle since October a
year ago. These are some of the con-
ditions which, in the nature of things,
indicate that there ought to be whole
some activity in production, manufac-
lures, commerce, and in all that makes
up healthy "business" during the
business season, which Is now at hand.
Some may think that the adoption by
Congress of this or that Financial
scheme" may have large influence in
the matter. But all such theories we
deem to be delusive, and feel persua-
ded that those who wait for such con-
tingenencies are likely to be disappoin.

The report ol the Beecher committee,
wa1 presented to Plymouth church on
Friday Of last week. The report
wholly eXonerates Mr.. Beecher, and it
Will be received as strong corroboraton
by those who are of that way of think
ing But those who hold him guilty
will not be changed by it; they will
hold him guilty still The practical re-
suit of the sitting of this committee, SO
far as Mr.. Beecher is concerned, is that
the charges against him have failed to
be proven, and his friends adhere to
him as to slandered man who is ino-
cent, 1t is true large part of the
public are not his friends; but,
thanks to the introduction into his
defence of the charge of blackmail, the
opinion even of those not wholly favor
able is divided, and so Plymouth Church
heartily sustains him, and he can con-
tinue to preach. But will he ever be
able to regain his former great posi-
ton? Sun
