Milton pictures Satan as ''squat at
the ear of Eve' in the form of toad,
suggesting the thoughts which led to
the ruin Of the race. Ithuriel, the an
gel, passing that way, discovers the
arcll-'3rvil, and Ivy simply touching him
with Il spear compels him to spring up
in true shape
We are forvihly reminded Of this in
reading Deecher's statement. Satan,
in the form Of Tilton and Moulton, is
pouring his SANDER into tie ears of the
world with view to ruin one of the
great leaders Of the cause to Which Sa-
tan is opposed. The angel, with tie
lthurel spear Of Brecher'S statement,
touches this Tilton- Moultun toad. and
Immediately the Devil springs up in
his true Shape and stands revealed.
Moulton is said to he preparing full
statement, now that Beecher has shown
him him up in his true character. Look
at this man for a moment: l. lie
goes to Beecher with a pistol to compel
the surrender Of a paper exhonerating
Beccher. ?. Gets s. 900 from Beecher
under the pretence Of helping Tilton,
and when Beecher refuses any more at
tempts blackmail. 8. Joins with Til
ton, by furnishing access to documents,
in making a statement calculated to
ruin Beecher. 4. When Beecher by
his frank and manly statement fixes
blackmail and trcachery upon him,
threatens to horse-whip Beecher.-
And this is the mutual friend" whose
word was to either save or ruin Beech
er.

Among our exchanges We always
greet with more than ordinary in
terest this sterling and attractive
Republican Weekly. The Register,
owned and edited by Judge Amos
Collins, is one OF the most indie
pendent, fearless discriminating and
sprightly papers in the State. II
apprentices the fact that integrity in
the party no less than numbers,
constitute the strength thereof, and
is not disposed to spare the dere'
LECTION OF Republican leaders any
more than the leaders of the oppo-
sition. We should have more hope
of ultimate and permanent party
success if the same spirit of indie
pendence pervaded the; other Re.

The MURDER OF ULYSSES JACOBS in
THE PARISH OF ST. JoHN.-Our read
ers will recollect that previous men
ton has been madesof the murder
Of Ulysses Jacobs, a planter in
st. John, on the twenty-seventh of
November last, and the arrest Of
Joseph Marmillion, a colored man,
charged with committing the crime.
The case rested entirely upon cir
cumstantial evidence. The friends
Of the prisoner engaged the services
of General T. Morris Chester, who
was present during the preliminary
examination before the committing
magistrate, and in consequence OF
the public excitement and the pre-
JUDGE in the public mind against
the accused, obtained a change of
venue to the parish. OF 81. Cnaf1es.
The case was tried during the:
month of January when the prisoner Or
was found guilty without capital
punishment. .,, III
. General Chester Immediately.
made a motion for a new trial,
which was vigorously resisted by
Hon. Morris Marks, the, dietrict
attorney 81, the Fourth judicial
District, which, however, the court
sustained, on the reasons presen-
ted by the .priscners counsel. 81
Tho second trial Of the case COM
meneed on the thirteenth Instant
and was concluded on the fifteenth,
and after able and exhaustipg
arguments on behalf of the State
and the prisoner, which consumed
the entire day, the jury returned q
verdict of not guilty. Gen. Chester
was assisted in. the defense by
F. B. Earhart, Esq, Of st. Charles.
N. O. Republican.
