The Baecher- Tilton scandal still
absorbs much of journalistic attention
without developing anything new and
important further than that Mr. Moul-
ION, "our mutual friend, has appear
ed before the Committee and asked
time for TIE preparation of his state
mcnt, which is 10 be presented this
evening.
SO far, the case and its three fig
ura- heads have been curious study.
Tilton vindicates his action at the
sacrifice of his wife's honor, and re- es-
tablishes the latter by calling her a
"white-souled woman Mrs. Tilton,
without so much charity, is probably
more truthful in her estimate of her
husbands virtuer This is not more
evident than that she is weak minded
and indiscreet-a fit subject to help
lesslv suffer the worst treatment.
That a man like Mr.. Beecher should
find pleasant companionship with a
lady Of such calibre is astonishing,
and must weigh against him however
innocent he may really be.

The general stagnation of trade and
the large number of unemployed men
in New York have created an unusual
amount of uneaoiness in the minds of
business men, more particularly bank
ers, who fear general raid on their
bllshments.
In order to guard their institutions
number of the leading bankers and
officers of the Stock Exchange called
upon the president of the board of po-
lice a few days ago and requested in
creased and immediate protection, in
consequence of which Superintendent
Walling was instructed to detail per-
manent corps for the purpose of pat
rolling in citizens dress the entire
banking district, with orders to arrest
at sight any suspicious visitors.
INCREASE OF RA1LRoADs.-The be-
lief is expressed that in the year 1880
there will be 100000 miles of railroad
in the United States. As we have al
ready 10000 miles, and the increase
in prosperous years has been as high as
$4,000 miles per annum, it would reach
the amount stated in less than three
years If we could but regain the place
from which we descended so suddenly.
Even taking the increase of 1878 as an
average, the 100000 would be reached
and passed in four wears. The railroad
mileage has doubled in ten years.
Should this progress continue the total
mileage in 1854 would be 10000.
THE GRANGERs IN THE UNITED
SrATEs.-A compiler Of statistics has
figured the number of oranges in these
United States, and counts up l4,O4l.
Most of them are situated in the
Western States, although the Gulf
States have 4O65 organizations. The
political power of these organizations is
immense, but it has never been fully
exercised yet, the members combining
themselves to a keen lookout for their
individual interest A national bank
with $5,000,00O gold capital, is a fea-
ture of the California branch, and
promises great success
CORRUPTION OF PARTIEs.-One Of
the pet arguments of the demagogues
out West who aid in getting up ''in-
dependent movements, is, that both
parties are now so corrupt that it is
necessary to form a new party in the
interests of honesty. AS "both par
ties embrace the great mass of the
people Of this country, the inquiry of
Senator Logan, in his recent speech
at Springfield, becomes pertinent
one. IF said he, "these parties are
both rotten in composition, out OF
what class Of people is the new hon
esty to be framed -

How THE IRON MEN FEEL.-Ad-

"a general revival of the iron trade is
sszepected in the fall, are not Endorsed

lar with the conditions and prospects
of the business Some improvement

there is any reason to anticipate a

Iron has declined in price to such an
extent that it is selling below actual
cost, and how long this is to continue,
nobody can tell. Although sold at
such price, the demand is very light,
and there IS no desire to purchase
on speculation. Many consider that
bottom prices finally have been reached,
but there are others who expect to see
them still lowcr.-Coal and Iron

1t is generally expected that next
month there will be such a demand
for coal sufficient to warrant the abro-
cation of the half work" restriction,

warranted in endorsing, as the iron in

and manufacturers are looking for a
heavy fall trade, and they all must
use coal.-.Sulrard s Cvculur.

The revival of business in the iron
trade which is so generally commented
on by the press is only partial and
prospective. The Improvement in
prices is scarcely perceptible, and the
increased demand will not start many
mills or furnaces not now in opera
ton. Of most kinds of pig iron there
is still large quantity in stock. We
make these staten ents after careful
inquiry in many quarters. Uudoubt-
eddy trade is looking up, and the
worst is over, but it would be we'll not
to augur immediate prosperity from
the hopeful signs of the past two
weeks. 1t is far from probable that
there will be any general revival of
business before September. AS yet
the prices obtained, either for raw or
manufactured iron, do not compensate
the makers. Money is still lost on pig
iron and on bar iron. Why not wait
until it pays to make iron before en-
deavoring to effect sales? And is
there not room for the suspicion that
some of the parties who are now buy
ing iron are moved to do so because
they see that prices must advance Ia
ter in the season ?-Bulletin Of The

SUPREME C0URI-SpeClAL TERM.
A Mexican Claim.

In the suit of Edward Bissell vs.. Caroline
Spratts, which grew out OF q claim against the
Mexican government before the Mexican Claims
Commission, Judge Tappen has rendered the fol-
lowing decision: There is no substantial difficulty
or dispute in this case The plaintiff had an agree
ment with Mrs. Spratts to prosecute her claim
against the Mexican government at his expense
and to recover one-half Of the sum awarded.
The plaintiff by power of attorney, ap-
pointed the defendant. Bogart, ST., to act for
him. All the acts Of the defendant Bogart Jr.,
are averred by him to have been IN harmony with
the plalntiff's interest," and the agreement subse-
quently made by Bogart, junior with Mrs. Spratts-
does not destroy the first agreement but 10 to be;
held as auxiliary and subsidiary thereto. BOgart,
Jr., seems to have been under the necessity OF re-
tanning counsel at critical period TO promote the
interests of the parties holding the claim, includ-
ing the plaintiff. This was occaslOned by the PLAIN
tifs sickness and Absence and the plaintiff, nav
ing the benefit Of such services which be himself
had offered to perform, must accept the burden
with the benefit. And the counsel who rendered
such services under the agreement for cOmpensa.
ton to be paid out OF the PLAINTIFFS share OF the
claim are entitled to have such agreement upheld.
And so far the plaintiff is concerned that charge,
is not to be paid by her. because It was service
which the plalntin had agreed to render Let Judg-
ment be entered In conformity with this decision.
Neither party to have costs against the other.
