The Beecher-TIIion Scandal.

lnG BeeCneE- A1lIOn ScanOstA
The details of the Beeeher Tiiton
scandal have not been printed in detail
in the COURIER, because their repro
ductiou would be TO some extent pan
dering to the morbid taste of the vul
gar and immoral. The simple an
nouncement of the scandal is bad
enough, and can but have deleterious
effect upon the general morals of the
country, especially where all the ag-
gravated details are spread broad cast
We regard the whole thing as the natu-
a. monster birth of free love ism. We
have but little doubt but that the whole
batch were guilty to more or less ex-
tent of this dangerous heresy, and
MOST fearfully has it burst upon them.
Il it is a shock to every sense of our
better feeling to believe Mr.. Beecher
guilty. The letters from Beecher to
Triton are proofs of Beechers erimi-
nality. and unless these letters can be
proven to be forgeries, the greatest
pulpit orator in America must fall
never to rise again Pity for religion,
pity for society, pity for morals, pity
for humanity, that it is so.
The whole matter will now be in
vestigated before the courts and the
real truth reached.

The Foreign Harvests.

We are now at a season of the year
at which these will be closely watched
by all who are anxious to arrive at
some proximate estimate Of how far
our own surplus of food will be drawn
upon to make up for short crops in
Europe. The question, it scarcely
need be said, is one upon which prices
largely depend in this and other great
markets, but as yet there is no data at
hand to settle it, without many qualifi-
cations and exceptions. Giving these
due consideration, however it may be
reasonably concluded that our foreign
relations for the next twelve months
will have no inconsideFable deficiencies
which will have to be met by drafts
upon the granaries of the United States
and Russia, the two countries upon
which most other nations now chiefly
depend for such supplies as may be
necessary to supplement shortcomings
at home. Throughout Great Britain
from present indications, average crops
may be looked for.
To supply the deficiency of 1873
~, grain purchases to an enormous
amount had to be made in the foreign
markets ard it follows, of course,
that if the present estimates of this
years harvests are not out of the way,
France must continue to be a liberal
purchaser Of foreign cereals. In Spain
the civil war as might be expected, has
( seriously iuterfered with agricultural
operations Germany promises we'll in
the Baltic districts, but south yard
prospects are not so encouraging. From
Austria are of mixed and uncertain
character. In some portions of Hun
gary, the wheat in certain districts is a
partial failure, while in others, it is
represented TO be much above the aver
age The same observations would
seem to apply to Southern Russia. In
Turkey, at this moment, there is a
positive famine in many districts more
especially those of Yosgat and Ango
ra. In many places there is nothing
left to subsist on but grass. and at las
accounts the wretched inhabitants were
dying in large numbers. The govern

people.

Whether the comet has done it or
not, certainly the weather has been of
a very unusual character for this sea
son of the year. Whilst the sun has
shown with his wonted fervor, the
air has been cool and fresh. The
weather has been cloudy, with every
promise of rain but all signs have
failed. Ia Europe the weather has
been really extraordinary. In some
sections there is feared that the tenn
perature of the air has been too low to
ripen the crops. There has been but
little rain, though hail storms have
been so violent as to kill birds and
smaller quadrupeds, whilst many
buildings we're seriously injured by the
immense hail stones.

The delegates composing the District
Council of the Patrons Of Husbandry
Tor the First Congressional District OF
kentucky, met recently in Paducah
and passed the following note worthy
resolutions:
Pesolred, That this District Council De
regarded as the Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association, organized for the better pro-
lection of the interests of the laboring
= Industrial classes. and TO this end our or
ganization feels II to be its duty TO oppose
corruption in every form, and to resist
all avarieious monopolies, and to promote
the general welfare Sf the country.
Resoired, That we have no hostility nd
wage no warfare against any other class
whatever. Our efforts, on the contrary.
are for the benefit of both producers and
consumers. We desire TO bring the farm
er, the manufactures ana the consumer
in closer, more friendly and economical
relations with each other.
Resoired, Hence we hold. in the language
of the National Grange, that transporta-
ion companies are necessary to our high
est prosperity. and that their interests
are intimately identified with our inter
ests and that harmonious action is mu-
tnally advantageous.
Resoired We are not the enemies Of
railroads nor Of canals, nor of any trans
porsatien companies that will advances
our inserests aud act fairly with US, but
we are opposed to such management oil
these corporations as tends to Cypress us
and rob MS of the just profits of our labor
Resoiued, We are not the enemies OF
capital, but we oppose the oppression OF
nOnoIolies; we are opposed 10 excessive
salaries, to high rates of interest, to ex-
orbitant taxes and to all high rates OF
per cent. profits in trade.
Resoir<d, That the general business OF
the farmer, present and prospective prizes,
the most profitable crops, the best methed
OF cultiyating them, unjust discriminating
charges by railroads, the action of middle
men, aud in short everything that effects
them and their families, are Legitimate

Rsseired. That we regard the mission OF
woman as beneficial not only because 1t IL
in accordance with our constitution. bur
because every father, brother or husband
knows that where he can be accompanied
