When Mr.. Frank Moulton said that
he would tell what he knew in the
Beecher-Tilton controversy on last
Saturday night, we sincerely hoped that
it meant that we were TO have an end
to the moral pestilence which has been
sweeping over the country for the past
few days. But such is not the case.
Moulton has spoken, but his testimony
is withheld from the public; and from
what can be learned of his evidence, he
testified TO just as little rs lac could con
veniently get off with, and the matter
is lett i'll as unsatisfactory condition as
before. The public is reluctantly but
surely settling down to the conviction
that Mr.. Beecher is compromising his
case by presuming TO ignore the terri
bic charge brought against him. We
are disappointed that Mr.. Moulton's
statement does not bring the end, but
we cannot see that it brings us nearer
than before it was given.

PER Sc.
From the Jackson Standard.

Those who think there is nothing
wrong per Sc. (whatever that may mean }
in selling and drinking intoxicating hq-
uors, ought for only one week examine
the daily papers and see what are the in
evitable results of the business.
During the past week we see that a
drunken woman in Cincinnati, who had
babe only a month old, was lifted
from the pavement aud placed in bed
with her child. She rolled over upon it
and smothered it TO death.
At South Bloomfield, Pickaway coun-
ty, an old man named Wilson got drunk,
fell from his horse. his foot hung in the
stirrup, and he was dragged half a mile
at fearful speed, breaking his arm. and
otherwise terribly injuring him.
A man was found on the pavement in
Cincinnati, very drunk, and bleeding
profusely from stabs in his back He
was too drunk to tell who stabbed him.
In New York a man got drunk and
tried to cut his wife's throat He cut Il
fearful cash in her neck. and then cut
his own throat.
A man in the same city got into a
drunken quarrel at a beer saloon. He
ran up stairs and hurled a fiat-iron from
an upper window. 1t struck a woman
on the head, smashing her skull and

THE AssAILANTs OF WOMEN

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Man holds the scales of Justice. and
controls the organs through which queer
persons pronounce from their own ricke-
ty consciousness the Judgment of pub
lie opinions; so, of course, the moral
lesson of every sensational event is
against woman and her cause Thus the
occasion of scandal against the great
preacher is improved to point n moral
against the woman suffrage movement.
and to pronounce the remarkably Just
judgment that this is what it comes to.
and this is what the woman sufTragists
mean by it. New York journals are dis
tinguishing themselves by this. Every
editor who has in former times been
pricked by the sharp pens or tongues of
the woman suffra9ist, is now taking his
manly satisfaction by calling them all a
set of free lovers, and pointing to the
BEECHER-TILTON scandal as the proof.
The logic of the thing is wonderful. 1t
shows the high intellectual and moral
quality af the New York newspapers
mind. Equally remarkable for candor
is the assault of some of the New York
editors on some of the leading women
OF the suiTragist movements, calling them
all sorts of carriOn birds because they
told some things they knew about this
ease, while the editors themselves are
gathering up every scrap of intelligence
of this scandal, and supplementing it
with all sorts of sensational rumors, and
with interviews of their own procuring
with anybody who has ever seen, heard
or slnelled anything relating to it, or
who will talk Oh it. While they are
pushing all their enterprise" i'll the
scavenger business, they try TO keep up
a pretence of cleanliness, by unclean
abuse of the women.

SOUTHERN RIOTS.

Scarcely have the full particulars of
the riot at Somerville, Tenn, reached
US when We are informed by telegraph of
a more serious one at Austin, Mississippi.
in which some ten negroes had already
been killed, and the end is probably
not yet. The circumstances, SO far as
can be gathered, are as follows: One

white denizens of that peaceful town.
had difficulty with a negro in the
streets of the village, and in accordance
with the most approved principles of
chivalry, drew pistol and fired at him.
Fortunately for the negro the Doctors
aim was faulty and the ball missed
him, but unfortunately for the Doctor,
it took effect in the body of a young ne
gro girl, instantly killing her. This ex-
asperated the blood-thirsty negroes.
They did not stop TO consider that the
worthy Doctor was simply exercising
his inalienable right to shoot a negro,
but raising a mob, they took the Doc
tor to the woods and were about to
hang him. They desisted, however, in
Difference to the entreaties of the Mayor
of the town and the Doctors wife.
This was very considerate in the ne
groes. 1t is strangely in contrast with
the action of white mobs in the South
under similar appeals. A black wife,
who has the audacity to plead with a
white mob for the life of her husband, is
generally answered by the revolver. This
Is simply another evidence of the blood
thirsty character of the negro, when
compared with the peaceable adherent
OF the white Mans Party" The Doc
tor was allowed TO return to his home,
and the telegraph informs us that
Since that time he has been a volunta-
ry inmate of the Jail to keep from being
mobbed, until last Friday, when some
friends came and carried him to Her
nando. On learning this, the negroes
collected in large numbers, and notified
the Mayor that unless DIR. Smith was
brought back and put in Jail, they would
burn the town" Let it be noted that

The Gazette said one day last week,
that it understood a majority of the
Presbyterian ministers favored license.
To test this, a meeting was called for
yesterday afternoon. About fifteen were
present, including, however, only three
pastors, viz: Hill, MOrey and Maxwell.
The rest are what printers would call
subs" There are more ministers in
the Cincinnati Presbytery without par
ishes than there are ministers with par
ishes. Oh the regular pastors, Smythe,
Skinner, Beecher, Ledgar, West and
Taylor were absent. Only three pas
tors, as we have said, were present The
rest are engaged mainly in secular pur-
suits, and have no right 10 speak or
pretend to speak for the Presbyterian
churches of this city. However, they
resolved against license. When asked
if they believed it a sin in itself to man-
ufacture, buy, or sell, or drink intoXi-
eating liquors, they said No, but they
did not rant that published. Those who
vote license, then, may be consOled by
the knowledge of the fact that the Pres
byterian ministers do not regard it sin
full to vote that way They merely
think mo license" the best way to fight
intemperance.-Ci Gazette.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

In recent issue, in speaking Of the
present status of the Republican party,
Harper's Weekly says:
mo student of our political history
will deny that the Republican party
shows within its ranks both an indepen-
dence of criticism and readiness of re-
PORN which no other great and dOmi-
nant party has ever shown, and which
is a good sign of its real vitality, and an
augury of continued and deserved su-
premacy. The Democratic party, which
was so long in the ascendent, became
steadily more and more besotted with
slavery, scOrning the chance which
Douglass offered it of assuming a virtue
which it did not have until it sunk be-
meath the wrath of the people. But it
is the praise of the Republicans that
their press denOunces most strenuOusly
maladministration of every kind, and
that the Congress which they control,
scrutinizes impartially and severely the
conduct of administrative officers, and
that Republican officers are removed and
Republican laws repealed when such
action is plainly proper"
