The Southern press, representing the
malcontents Of that section Of the Union
condemn the determination Of the national
administration to put down the anarchists
of the South. These newspapers see moth,

have no concern respecting the IMMUNITY
enjoyed by audacious Southern criminal,
who boldly defy the local authorities Thu
wilfully purblind, it is not surprising tha
organs Of the public, the music Of which il
really, if unwittingly, an accompaniment
breathing little except rapine and bloodshed
utterly fail to apprehend the necessity OIL
sending federal troops into the disturbed
portions of the defunct confederaoy. Il
makes no difference with the Southern paper,

leaders Of past as well as present wrong

to this class will include the recommenda
ton Of retrieving their characters by fol

whose victims belong to the unoiIendinl

Several of the papers which have re.
served their opinion of the Beeeher matter
up to the present time, now declare their
deliberate verdict of " not guilty" Among
these are not only Harpers Weekly which
we have quoted, but the Nation and the
Ersaing Post. A number Of the leading
papers which at first regarded the case as
almost conclusive against Mr.. Beechcr. now
express the opinion that his accusers have
failed to sustain their charges, But there
is still some difference Of opinion, and proba.

-Itisre reported thatthe Attorney General
is now preparing circular directed to
marshals and attorneys, prohibiting them
from leaving their districts, except on
official business, without his consent The
reason given for this is that it has for years
been the practice Of United States mar
shas and district attorneys to absent them
selves from their districts aud duties when
ever they desired, leaving their business to
subordinates or to take care of itself, aud
it was found in large number of cases
that whenever the Department of Justice
wanted to communicate with them they
were not to be found. This has been par
ticuarly the case in the South, where tie
marshals were never present in their dis
tricts except during terms Of court. A Ger.
tain marshal from the South is in the habit
of going to Long Branch every summer, as
regularly as the President, and spending
not quarter of his time at his duties.

We hear a vast deal about the corrup
ton and wastefulness Of negro rule in the
South aud about the necessity Of white
mans party to rescue that section from
this ruinous domination Doubtless the
blacks are in many cases ignorant, aud their
rule not what it should be- But the lead
ers Of the white mans party should be
careful how they institute comparisons.
% this point the New Orleans Republican
gives some pertinent facts In 1872 the
party embracing the majority Of the colored
people carried the State government oil
Louisiana, and the party embracing the ma
jority Of the white people carried the city
government Of New Orleans The former
has reduced the State debt of twenty-five
millions to fifteen millions lthas reduced
a taxation Of twenty-one mills to tax Of
fourteen mills. 1t has reduced the annua
State expenditure from nearly FIVE to LITTLE
over one million of dollars. This is the
work of the much denounced State govern
ment of Louisiana. In the city Of New
Orleans, under the government Of the
I" white mans party the result is the re-
verse. Debt and expenditure are both in
creased, and the only way the people ge
rid of the large taxation is to sacrifice theil
property. The official organ Of the city i,
filled with the names Of ten or twelve thou
sand delinquent taxpayers. These facts
tell their own story

The world uses two hundred and fifty mil
lion pounds Of tea each year, and seven hun
dred and thirteen million pounds Of coffee
China furnishes nearly all of the tea, and Bra
ali over one.half Of the coffee. Only one hun
dred and forty thousand pounds Of Java aud
eighteen thousand pounds Of Mocha isproduced.
The United States consumes nearly one-third
Of all the coffee produced in the world, and the
English people are the greatest tea-drinkers
out of China. The Germans rank next to the
Americans as coffee drinkers. The Americans
consume about six pounds Of coffee and one
hundred and twenty two pounds Of beef per
head, counting adults and infants, each year
This looks large, but then the Yankee nation
never do anything by halves.

Major General j G. Foster, who died in
Nashua, N. H., Wednesday of last week,
was with General Anderson at Fort Stump.
ter and was Burnside's right hand man at
the capture of Roanoke aud Newbern. He
subsequently commanded the 18th Army
corps in North Carolina, and was greatly
esteemed by the soldiers of his command.
At the time Of the investment of Little
Washington, on Tar river, he performed
one Of the most gallant deeds in the annals
of the war, by running in small steamer
past the rebel batteries commanding the
channel, for the purpose Of hurrying for
ward re-enforcements to relieve the little
garrison. The daring act was not unobserved
by the rebels, who sent solid shot through
the stateroom of the general, but as he hap
pened to be on deck, he escaped harm,
reached Newbern in safety, and accom-.
plished his purpose.

The late lamented Blot was wont to say
that there was no country in the world where
material for food was so abundant as in Amer
ica and no other country where so much
splendid material was utterly spoiled by being
badly cooked And he was right. Foreigners,
coming to this country, are surprised at the ex-
trayaganco Of our people in the matter Of food,
and equally displeased with our carelessness in
cooking it, In London, cooking schools are
immensely popular and successful.

For thirty years have known the Presidents and
heads OF departments, many OF them intimately
and state here on my reputation, which | hold
dearer than anything else ia this world that there Is
as much integrity In public officials to-day at any
hour since We have had government. | do not
mean to say that we have corrupt men in Office hut
do say that the Republican administration has done
more TO get rid Of them than any other government.
Senator Hamlin is PROFESSIONALLY right
1t is wholly due to the fact that the Re.
publican party is more implacable toward
the shortcomings Of officials, that the Re.
publican press is more out.spoken in con
demnation of wrong.doing in its own party
that the impression has got abroad that dis
honesty is more rife now than at any pre-
vlous period. Never was there so much in
tegrity among officials as now, due to thil
fact that the Republican party uucoveri
corruption wherever it appears practice
never before observed by dominant polit
ical organization.

Bcccher's sunday Service.


The Sunday services Of the renowned
pastor Of Plymouth church are becoming
an institution at the White Mountains.
Last Sunday an extra train was run for
this occasion over the Wells Rivor road,
aud some fifty or sixty Of our people i'm.
proved the opportunity to see and hear the
great preacher A train was also run from
Plymouth, some eighty miles distant, on the
Boston, Concord & Montreal road. Alto
gether an audience Of some two thousand
people were gathered, nearly or quite one
half being brought by cars, and the re-
mauder made up Of guests and residents
Of the country roundabout
The service is said to have been exceed
ingly appropriate aud impressive, lasting a
full hour. His subj ct was the Transfgu.
ration Of Christ, founded on Luke OBS
81. The discourse was mainly historic
no reference being made to his notes. As
he reached the climax Of the story, and
portrayed the feelings Of Christ as his pop
ulariiy with the common classes began to
decline, he referred to himself as being
bowed down with sorrow, while his heart
went out in sympathy to the down-trodden
and adl ctod Of Gods people everywhere.
