THE BROOKLYN 1RAGEpY.

Mr.. Beecher's cross examination, 0he re-
mainder of which is printed this mOrning)
suggests no modification of the views of his
statement which we took on yesterday. He
is still shown as surrounded by persons un-
worthy of trust whom he implicitly trusted,
entangled in net whose meshes he
shrank from breaking because of scandal,
submitting alternately to persecution, patron
age and bullying, mortgagng his house to
raise money to be paid to the man who had
already accused him of adultery, and de-
manded that he abandon his pulpit and his
home. 1t is saddening exhibition of weak
ness where an admiring public most looked
for strength.
The backmail feature is the really destruc-
tive matter. 1t scarcely helps Mr. Beecher
but it falls like the lightning upon his assalants.
1t shows Mr.. Tilton's attitude in the business
as touching the depth of infamy. To Mr.
Moulton it is destruction. Mr. Carpenter only
escapes on the ground that he knew no better

When thirsty souls want something nice and alco-
holica in Bennington Vt they go to the apohecarys
shop and call for Prepared Laudanum." A verdant
stander-by, who saw the frightful draught taken,
remarked that the fellow wouldn't live long after
swallowing so much laudauum. Presently another
man came IN and called for the same. The verdant
spectator followed him to the door, and watching
him as he went down the street. said: That fellow
stands it well he must be used to taking 1t" But
when a third laudanum drinker entered and was
served. light dawned upon the mind of the person
from the rural districts and stepping up to the coun
ter, he exclaimed ;" See here, old boss; guess I'll
take dose Of that odlum; it doesn't seem to kill any
body, and folks seem to like it," 1t the liyeiest
opiate he had ever swallowed in the whole course of
his existence; and lie went away confirmed in the
opinion that the danger of lodlum had been great
ly exaggerated.

The political campaign this Fall so far as National
politics goes will turn largely three OF four points
the Salary Grab, the interference Of the Admins
tration in Southern politics, financial legislation
the railroad question: and the extrayagant appro-
priations. All the essential documents concerning
each of these topics will be found fully and fairly
set forth in McPhersons Handbook of Politics for
1874" just issued and for sale at THE TRIBUNE office.
1t is the recognized authority for all parties, and
the painstaking and accurate Clerk of the House,
who has so long compiled it, continues TO give it
the guarantee of his careful personal attention.

A tale of red-tape. NJ. Smith of Boston sent the
other day a letter TO Mr. Brown at Long Branch, and
being either careless ignorant, permitted his mis-
sive to go underpad by the amount OF One Cent
Thereupon the authorities, as by law directed for
warded this letter to the Dead Letter Office at
Washington. Thence official note was dispatched
to Mr.. Brown to say that n letter addressed to him
was lying at that office. and would be sent to him
upon his payment of One Cent Mr.. Brown, slightly
growing, filled up the printed blank inclosed III the
note, put in the stamp demanded, while on the
envelope no placed the necessary three
cent stamp Thus. to end the tale alb
ruptly Mr. Brown was obliged to pay -Four Cents
for a letter of no importance, and the Department
gave the price of the official stamp and several min
utes of clerks valuable time to get it to him. Why
the One Cent could not have been collected by the
Postmaster's subordinate in Long Branch Is ques-
ton which nobody outside the Circumlocution Office
can answer. Mr. Brown thinks that while that our
Cents did not form all his worldly wealth. it was an
outrage TO make him pay Three Cents for MI.
Smiths stupidity OF want Of knowledge. An Illus
trative instance of red tapcsm is that ChiefJustice
Chase living within block of the Department and
certainly well known to its officials, was once
Obliged 10 send the sum of One Cent to the stated re-
cpents before he could get letter clearly addressed
to him and publicly advertised as being over
wei ghed to that amount.

The Police Board are at deadlock over a
political question which has come before them.
MIR. Disbecker wishes to examine the list of
Republican Election Inspectors, doubtless with
the design of expunging the names of all
obnoxious Republicans. We hope the fate of
former meddlers with Inspectors has not been
forgotten. Too much care cannot be shown
in the selection of the guardians of the polls
nor, for that matter, in the selection of those
who are to revise the lists.

Let us give credit to Mr.. Francis d. Moulton for
AZ least a neat bit of characterization. Said Mr.
Beecher in his cro5s-eXamination asked Moul-
ton one day. What under the sun is sCarpenter doing
around here meddng with this matterP Moulton
summarily damned him. and represented him as
a good-natnred and wel-meaning busybOdy." In the
language of the worldly, that seems to be just about
the size of it, But Beechcr himself improves little
the picture He says he found Mr.. Carpenter one OF
those good-natured men whose philanthropy exhib-
tied itself in trying to settle quarres and difficult
ties by picking up everythi he could hear said by
for OF against man, and carrying 1t to the parties
where it would do the most harm possible. lie was
a kind of genial good-natured fool; and in all this
matter he has been tool more than helper. He has
never once done anything except IN the kindest way
and never once done anything in the whole of this
matter from beginning to end that was not stupid
blunder." incidentally it comes ont that this good
natured fool was the author of the preposterous
story that Mr. Beecher to assume the editOrship
of a new Republican organ in this city.

The failure of the Messrs. Terry, leather
merchants, was evidently the result of mis-
taken and unfortunate sDeculatiOns rather
than of any depression of the trade generally.
A chief cause of their embarrassments seems

against the fluctuations of currency values

There is something of cruelty as well as good
deal of nonsense in these promiscuous newspaper
nominations for the Presidency. BY this is meant
not so much the suggestions of outsiders through
the peoples column for these generally result from
genuine admiration and sincere conviction, but to
those gay and careless paragraphs which the west
ern journalist throws oil airy at midnight to I'LL up
his first editorial column. Let any Governor or
other shOrt-lived official make bright political
stroke winning him popularity and temporary men
ton in the papers, and he is at nominated for
the highest office in the gift of the people,
or for the highest seat in what once lofty and
able body. And here comes IN the cruelty which
the needless paragraph does not consider. 1t

notion that he is the proper man to preside over a

that he is nothing but a commonplace individual

though the police have found no clew to the
assassin, they have satisfied themselves that
there is a woman in the case. 1t is matter
worthy of remark that while less horrible and
mysterious murders in Brooklyn have agltated
that quiet, suburban city for weeks at time,
this tragedy is almost unnOtced, almost uh-

tragedy in which characters are sacrhced.

Chief in importance among the proceedings
Of the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science reported on another page, is
the address of the retiring President, Prof.
Joseph Lowering of Harvard University.
Addresses of this sort are apt to consist for
the most part of the gitteriDg gencralitles OF
science the attempt to include too broad
field weakens the entire picture. Prof. Lover
ing has adopted q more fortunate method he
has undertaken to set forth only the most
recent and important advances of science,
preluding their description by only so
much of the history of each case as is
necessary to a clear understanding of the sub
iect, and to render evident the progress that
has been accomplished In this review he does
not hesitate to deal with the more recondlte
theories of the physical constitution of the
universe of matter and force; and the address
is consequently of interest to all who would
be informed as to the direction in which scien-
tiic thought is tending. The report of the
proceedings will be found to contain the dis
cussons. which are not less interesting than
the papers presented; and of the latter the
abstracts are unusually full
