REV. DIR. sToRRs CoNTRApICrs MRS. TILros
NEW YORK, August DIR. Storrs, in letter
IN the Tribune from Princeton, Mass, says -
In the report Of Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton's testi-
mcDy before the Brooklyn committee she IL
represented as making the following statement
concerning q conversation which she had 50
hcited with me st my house In March last, At
which conversation she ascrtbed 60 her husband
the real authorship Of the letter written by her
hand, which had been shown TO me IS months
before: "Dr. Storrs looked up 20 me and said:
81 with had known that a week ago, beczus ~
on that letter alone believed Mr.. Beecher 10 lie
guilty man. He Was IN hurry
and he said that IL 1 wanted 10 talk
further he would like me to see bis wife,
made no such remarks 20 Mrs. Ttlton con-
corning Mr.. Beecher. She must have attributed
10 me an impression which was resting heavily
upon her own mind. Though I excused
myself from general and prolonged converse
ton on matters with which her present testi-
mony Is largely occupied, II was not till she in
a half hours talk had said all that she wished 70
say in regard TO the origin Of the letter referred
TO, and certainly nothing could have been
further from my mind than the thought OF
referring her TO my wife for further converse
ton on matter % tangled and every way 50
sinful.

Ernest Smith, negro, aged twenty-five years,
Will be hanged TO day at Easton, Talbot county
on the Eastern Shore OF Maryland, for rape
committed on white girl some time last spring.
AT the time of his arrest there was a threat to
lynch him. Some time afterwards a negro
named Benson was arrested on the charge of
assaultng white woman with intent to com
NIT rape. Benson is also confined in the Eas-
ton jail. On the Sth of July, Geo. Wheeler aud
Geo. Kinds, negroes, murdered Mrs. Waltmss,
In Talbot county, and they are also confined in
the Easton Jail. AT the time of wheeler's ar
rest he would have been lynched but for his
attempt to commit suicide by cutting bis throat
1t beng supposed that he would die from the
wourd inflicted by himself. On account Of these
crimes by negroes fierce indignation has been
excited among the whites, and il having been
represented to the governor that at the execu-
ton OF Smith to-day an attempt would probably
be made to lynch Benson, Wheeler and Kinds

The Ross Child Abduction Case.

CONFLICTING STORIES ABOUT 1T.
There are no new developments in this mys-
terious case, which remains AZ dark az IL did
four weeks ago. Not clue has been discey ered
as to the whereabouts of little Charlie Ross
PhliadeIphia detectives are still actively at
work. 1t Is believed by both his parents and
the police authorities that the child is being
well taken care of, as it is to the interest OF his
abductors to look after his welfare.
THE CHILD STILL IN PHILADELPHIA.
Inc Press OF yesterday says:-"From infor-
nation gained in police circles and from pri-
vate sources It may be set down for q certainty
that Charlie Ross is in Phliadelph to-day and
II not he is not very far from here. II the child
has been moved from this city, it is Just possible
that one of the men took it away in his charge
whlle the other remained here and endeavored
to enter into a negotiation with the bereaved
father to return the child for a sum of money
which seemed fabulous. 1t would thus seem
that the idea in kidnapping the boy was to Sc
cure money, ara finding that they c0ulf not
accomplish their ends as easily as expected and
public indignation running high, the miscreants
r. solved to take things quietly and wait until
the storm of vituperation against them died out
when, no doubt, further bargaini sgs will be
attempted. The men who did the work are
undoubtedly professional thieves, as the large
pecunisry aiiurements would have long ago
induced novice in one or the other of the par
ties to give the detectives a clue on his opal,
turn states evidence himself, and escape pun
lshment AS the case now stands there is every
reason to believe that in a short time, probably
less thaR week. something will be turned up
which will giTe the case an entirely new phase
ard show that rome ore has had a hand in the
matter who now processes entire Ignorance of
the scheme, and who loudly cries inaocence.
ANOTHER SENSATION STORY.
A correspondent OF the New York Herald
presents the case in new light and saws the
bitter abuse OF the mother which forms a large
portion OF the contents of the unpublished let
ters seems to hint that the crime was inspired
oy some more deadly motive than thst OF ava
rice, and the question occurs to the romantic
reader; SIS there love, disappointment and re-
Venge behlnd 1t all?' According to the theory
now advanced the offer of a restoration OF the
chlId ior ransom was meant by the criminals
10 divert the attention OF the father from their
True object While he was eudeavoring to meet
sneir emand the child was taken farther aud
farther away from his home, and the traces OF
hls keepers were growing fainter with the lapse
OF time: By the artifice of the letters and per
SOhas the fond parents were deluded into hope
WINE the supposed revenge or other object was
rapidly beng contaminated.

The Peoples Confluence For
Jcitcd.

No party ever betrayed the confidence
II the people So fully and frequently
Is the Republican party. 1t has failed
IN every State TO make better the condi-
tion Of affairs which it found on coming
into power. On the contrary the condi-
tlon of the people is decidedly worse.
To such a degree Is this the case that
the wisest and coolest thinkers are be-
ginning TO compare American States
with States Of Europe and consider the
question whether property is not more
safe and prosperity is not as certain in
England and on the Continent as in the
United States.
The change that has been wrought III
the last ten years is terrible to reflect
upon. The vast States Of the South
once the most safe and fourishing coun.
try in the world any Of the numerous
plantations Of which were valued as a
fortune, upon the princely income there.
from thousands lived in luxury are now
not worth working and do not sell for as
much as will pay the taxes. And the
condition Of things is not much better
in the border States where the land is
divided into farms for fruit and produc.
ng the cereals
The only States that are at all invit.
ng are those in which the Republican
party has been kept out OF power. These
hold their own, have not been robbed by
officials and are able to pay their debts
and maintain some show o. prosperity
But the influence Of the bad government
in other States has had terribly de.
pressing effect upon them; and the con.
sequence is seen in the depression Of all
farm land far below its real value.
But the consequences Of bad govern.
ment does not stop with the depression
IN the country. 1t is bound to extend to
the cities, and already its effect is wit.
messed in the great commercial empori.
ums where property has deprecated in
value to such an extent that prices can
not be fixed and comparatively no sales
can be effected except by the orders OF
Courts. This is the condition notwith.
standing there Is an abundance Of money
equal to any period of initiation that the
country has witnessed. Tho banks are
overrun with deposits. But are infected
with the fear that pervades and they dis
count only unexceptionable paper. The
people have no confidence in Congress,
and less in a President and Cabinet that
wastes the precious time in gadding
about the country from place to place
instead Of attending to the great duties

Of their Offices, as did the I'D hea Is OF

Catching the passion for getting gain
from those who have betrayed theil
trusts it would seem that innumerable
thieves and robbers have attempted 10
effect the same thing upon more open
and bolder plans; and even this class
of robberies are no longer sure of pun-
ishment. so low is the standard of virtue.
This state Of things must be corrected;
and it can only le done hy making an
entire change i'll the government. Tins
change must begin at Washington. Their,
is .he fountain of impurity and the peo-
pie must have it thoroughly cleaned be-
fore the national confidence will ever be
recovered. Why. SO alarming is the
