THE SCANDAL.

The status Of the great scandal tnthe
18th inst gave reason forthe belief that
the public is not to be permitted, after
full and impartial investigation, to
rejoice in Mr.. Beecher's yindication, or
to grieve at his downfall; but is to be
left in a sort of ''vaporous cloud" as it
We're. A New York dispatch of that
date says:
ga feeling of disappointment pre-
walls III the community, growing out of
the unsatisfactory end toward which
the Beecher-Iilton scandal is drifting
The Withholding from the public of
Moulton's statement, is the subject Of
much mfavorable comment. There is
a general belief that compromise Of
the whole affair is on foot. The Argus
says it is even stated that Mrs. Tilton
is prepared to state that she has been
labOring under Il hallucination that
Beecher is willing to resign his pastor
ate; that the society Will refuse to ac-
cept his resignation, and Mr.. Tilt0n
will, upon these considerations, again
open the doors Of his house to his wife. y

A SMALL EDITION.

4 great demand is being made for
copies OF the statutes which were re-
yised by Congress at its last session.
Only fifty copies were printed, and
even the attorney general has not a
copy. The secretary Of state was di-
rected by law to print and issue these
revised statutes with marginal notes
and references to laws and decisions Of
the courts upon various acts contained
i'll the coditication. These state de
partment prints will not be ready
earlier than about the 1st of Deem
Der. In the meantime, the public,
especially that portion which is directly
interested in the laws, viii have TO live

1t was the intention of Congress to
allow 10 material change III the laws to
be made by this revision, but there are
sad to be numerous errors and
changes. The fact should be r4mem-
bered that this is revision of all ex-
listing laws that have been passed since
the establishment Of the government.

China has pushed forward 10000
troops to the Kashgar frontier, and, in
addition, placed large garrisons in the
towns OF Barkerel and Chants. Troops
have, moreover, been concentrated in

It is proposed to attack the latter

RAZAINE,S ESCAPE.

The following interesting particulars
of the escape Of Marshal Bazine from
his prison in the Isle ST. Marguerite
have been received:
The apartments occupied by Marshal
Bazaine opened upon a terrace, upon a
lofty, precipitous cliff, overhanging the
sea. A sentry was posted on the ter
race with orders to watch the prisoners
every movement. During Sunday
evening the Marshal walked upon the
terrace with Col. Villette, his abide
camp. At ten o'clock he retired as
usual, apparently to sleep, but before
daybreak he had effected an escape.
He must have crossed the terrace in
the dead of night. and, eluding the SEN
tinel, gained the edge OF the precipice,
whence, by means of a knotted rope,
he descended to the sea. He evidently
slipped during the descent and tore his
hands, as the rope was found stained
with blood in several places.
Under the cliff, in a hired boat, Were
BaZaine's wife and cousin. They re-
ceived him as he reached the water,
and Madame La Marechal, taking the
oars herself, rowed directly to the
strange steamer. which had been lying
off the island since the previous even
ing. They reached the steamer in
safety, We're taken on board, and the
steamer then put to sea.
It is reported that Marshal Bazaine
landed at San Rels, and travelled by
way of Turin to Basic. At the latter
place he took train to Brussels, where
he arrived at seven o'clock in the morn
ing. 1t is believed that the rope found
on the cliff of the Isle of Ste. Mar
guerite was suspended there to misleal
the authorities as to the manner of the
Marshal's escape, which was effected in
some other way, through the connivance
of the guards.
LIE Son, inspector, states that Baz-
aine had given his parole not to leave
the island. The precautions were con
sequently relaxed The sentry was
withdrawn from the terrace every
morning at five O'Clock, it being con
sidered unnecessary to keep him there
after daylight. Two soldiers belong
ing to the garrison at Fort Sevear, saw
the Marshal on the terrace at $50 on
the morning of the 10th.
LATER.
PARIS, August Pit has been as
certained that the plan for Marshal
Bazaine's escape from the island Of
Ste. Marguerite arranged six weeks
ago. 1t was entirely the work of Ma
dame Bazaine The Marshal refused
al first to fly, but finally, owing to his
failure to obtain some notifications Of
his sentence, yielded. He sailed from
the island III the steam yacht Baron
Ricasoli, belonging to an Italian com
pany. The prisoner refused to employ
"a French vessel. He was accompanied
in his flight by his wife and brother
His place of refuge is not known.
Some persons say he is in Spain. Do
mestics at the fort where the Marshal
was imprisoned, have been arrested.

THE WAR OF RACES IN TENNESSEE

IlIt lolloHlHS Is the hcmplllS LeuS-
cr's account of the recent collision
between the whites and negroes at
Sommerville, Tennessee, on the 18th
inst: "The election of the day be-

many negroes had attended the polls
during the day, heavily armed, and
some had openly threatened TO burn
the town. During the day a prominent
negro politician, named Cash Warren,
had cursed and abused a young brother
Of Mayor Hendon, and on the It'll en-
countering Mayor Hendon on the
street, began to abuse him, and finally
snapped pistol twice in the mayors
face, who then drew pistol and shot
him dead. Almost simultaneously,
two OF three shots were fired at the
negro by friends of the mayor, who
had collected there, among whom was
a man named Oscar Burton, noted for
being an excellent shot. and brave, who
was charged with firing at Warren,
when he met his death, by the negroes,
who had become very much incensed at
Warren's death, and threatened to kill
Burton. who, about eleven o'clock, APP
peared on the streets, armed with a
double barreled shot gun and pistols.
Judge j. G.. Reeves, Albert Reeves.
sheriff elect, andanother brother. named
Paul, attempted to arrest and disarm
Burton, and owing to the report that a
body of negroes were marching into
town, Burton refused to be arrested, and
they opened fire on him, wounding him
severely in four places. He returned
the fire with the shot gun, mortally
womding Paul and Albert, and then
fell himself, but raising himself on his
elbow, drew pistol and shot J. g.

dangerous but not necessarily fatal
wound. a party of negroes, who had
cOngregated, then opened fire on Bur
ton, shooting him III several places, and
one rushing up, put pistol ball in his
back. He received thirteen wounds in
all, and if any Of them prove fatal,
which the doctors doubt, it will be the
last one mentioned.

THE SRErTICAL CoNvfNCEp.-Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test Of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument of good re-
suits. When DIR. Walker proclaimed that
he had produced from the medicinal
herbs Of California On Elixir that would
regeneratc the sinking system aud cure
diseases not organic, the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BrrrrRs Is now the Standard Restora-
tive of the Western World. The truth
could not be resisted. Under the opera
ton Of the new remedy, Dyspeptics re-
gained their health, appetite and
strength, the Bilious and Constipated
were relieved Of every distressing symp-
tom the Consumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered; Intermittent and Re
mittent Fevers were broken up; the faint

wonderful preparation is TO day the most

letter, purporting to come from reliable
gentleman in Mauch Chunk, appeared in

acted in such strange manner that he at

ringleted youngster, who was so unlike the
gentleman that a boarder approached the
latter on the subject. In reply TO inquiries
the man said he had come two thousand
miles, and that when about starting he had
made up his mind to bring the child with
him, and that he had not time to change his
clothes or to pack others for him. The little
ones appearance spoke for the truth Of this
statement. lie was so dirty that he might
have travelled five thousand miles since he
was washed and dressed. On the 18th the
man and child returned, but the latter was
scarcely seen by the police. They left In a
