should be exposed and branded IS he

There are few people in New York
or ID the country who will not regret
the reopeniDg OF this shocking busipess,
which, from the beginning, has been
marked on both sides with q singular
deficiency of tact and judgment. The
early publications in regard to it were
barbaroHs and criminal. The subse-
queut measures taken to quiet the scan
dal were awkward and laundering In
noceuce is no defense against the inju-
rious effects OF a wide and clamorous
ecaudsl which wraps whole commu-
nifty in it's unwbolesome atmosphere.
1t may now be thought expedient by
Mr.. Beecher and his friends to make
some reply to this authoritative and seri-
Gus attack. II be should simply deny
the truth OF Mr. Tilton's somewhat
vague allegations, and explain the doc
ument IN which hls name is attach ed +,

whom he has laborpd with such distln-

greatly surprised if he does not soon re-
greet that he did not observe it longer.
