sumed private practice. When the
office of Solicitor General was ere
ated he was appointed its first in
cumbeut, organized the office, and
during the absence of the Attorney
General performed his duties and

To Equalize Soldiers Bounties

To Equalize Soldiers Bountles
Mr.. Gunckel, from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, made
an attempt to pass his bill to
equalize the soldiers bounties,
bnt as it required a two-third's
vote to suspend the rules, no ex-
planation or debate was permit
ted. The measure failed to get
the requisite vote. Many mem
bers voted under a misapprehen
sion, the bill being unlike all
preceding ones in doing full JUS
tice to all soldiers, s,and::yet requir-
ing smaller expenditure ofmon-
ey. Mr.. Gunckel maintains that
the Republican party is pledged
by its national platform to the
passage of the bill, and so is de-
termined to make another at
tempt before the session closes.
As he proposes a modification of
the land feature, to which some
objection was made by Western
members, he will probably sue
ceed, especially if a yea and nay
vote is obtained.

WHY IS 1T?

The American people drank VI
eight million barrels of beer in 1872
and nine millions in 1873. The
question is whether the additional
million barrels paved the way to
temperance or intemperance. The
temperance people will insist on the
latter. The presiding Brewer said
it was a step towards national tem-
perance, as each additional barrel
Of good beer crowded out several
bottles of bad whiskey.

On the whole the Car had a very
languid reception in England. No
body wanted to see him much, and
everybody was glad when he was
gone. The Poles did thier best to
shoot him, and the poor Queen was
so afraid they would do it right
there that she couldn't sleep o'nigts.
The Canadian reciprocity is not
yet definitely settled. Mr.. Kelly
and other Pensylvanians are oppos-
ing it bitterly.

LOUISIANA.

Poor, PROSTATE Louisiana. To
her Affections of blood, famine, dem
agogue politician and impending
epidemic, there is now added the
still further scourge of general
and severe drouth. Such of the
State as is not under water is parch-
ed and brown, The districts which
were relied upon to yield food for
the submerged portions will be al
most sterile for want of rain. The
people must have aid or die.

The latest charge against the
American people is that of Profes-
sor Won Hoist, of Freiburg. He
says they have too much Selbstgef

plain, if not precisely literal Eng
lish, he charges us with thinking
too much ofourselves.

THE BREWERS.

The address of the Brewers Con-
gress claims that the public credit
depends on them, because the ex-
else on liquors paid last year 55
per cent. of the internal revenue and
20 per cent. of the total revenue.
But in making this showing they
cover up the inadequate part paid
by beer by Jumping it with spirits.
The whole excise on malt liquors,
brewers and dealers paid but &c.
324, ,937 "a, while the excise on spir-
its, refiners and dealers paid $52,-
099,371 IS. Furthermore, the tax
on spirit is as much as 800 per cent,
while that on beer is less than J0|
per cent. Yet nearly one half the
domestic spirits is used for machan-
ical and medicinal purposes which
are of necessity and protective val
ne, while beer is nothing but drink
ing indulgence. This discrimina-
tiOn in favor of beer, in the face of |
the extreme taxes on spirits and to-
baco, and of much higher taxes on
all necessaries, is shame to our
public men, for it shows that they
are slaves to the brewers.
REORGANIZATION OF THE TREAS
URY.
Secretary Bristow is earnestly
considering the best method of
recognizing the many divisions
in the Treasury Department.. He
regards the present machinery
of What is known as the Secreta-
ry's office as cumbersome in the
extreme, and as rendering it al 4
most impossible for the Secreta-
" to properly contribute the care
If and responsibility for the pub i
ic business in the department. z
Instead of communicating with
he bureau officers and heads of 3
divisions through corps of clerks ?
n the Secretary's office, he in N
ends to hold the heads of bu.
eaus directly responsible for a n
ull and complete knowledge of !
II business transacted under
heir direct supervision, and his
i'm will be to see that each DO
ition of responsibility in the de
artment is filled by person
lily capable of discharging its VI
uties, and whenever such abili-
does not now exist, to find
ersons possessing it fer the
lace. He has decided to ad.
ress a letter to the Committee
Appropriations of each house,
skiing them to meet during the
'ming recess in Washington 4,
I'd aid him in a thorough reor-
'nization Of the Treasury De- A
lrtment, SO far as the same may
considered necessary. ,

BEECHER.

Nothing since the close of the war.
has created such deal of comment by
the press, and such an interest on the
part Of the people. as the Beecher diff
Guilty. 1t has seemed for several weeks
past as though the truth would be told.
and the public would know the facts in
regard to the unpleasant matter.
We do not think the truth viii ever
come ont, but from all that we can learn
we expect it would be about as fol-
lows, should it be told: Tilton viii be
shown to be a miserable, lieentious
wretch, whose practices of free love, dates
back to an earlier time than his aequaint-
ance with Woodruff and her free low
ers- He has shamefully abused his wife.
by cruel treatment at home and infdeli-
ty abroad. Moulton, the pretended
friend of Beecher, has been a traitor to
him, (Beecher.) and as leacherous as
Tilton- Mrs. Tilton went to her pastor,
Mr. Beecher, In her distress, for sympa-
thy and counsel. Beeeher gave counsel
and extended sympathy. Fortunate
would it have been for him, and the
world. if this had been the end of the
matter. But sympathy grew into afec-
ton, and affection ripened into love
as intense aud ardent as though neither
had a husband or a wife Mr.. Beeeher
and Mrs Tilton were in love. They
loved each other, but this was their on
ly sin. When Beecher saw where he
had drifted, he repented and in his re-
morse wrote the letters containing all
those unexplained passages that have
been so much against him. He apollo
gized; he asked Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton'
forgiveness, and he wished himself dead.
Poor man This most unfortunate thing
was known and kept secret within a
small circle but Tilton, in his bitter
ness and in his desire to destroy his RI
val, allowed the truth or portions of il
to come to Liz hit, and hence all this CON-
motion and all this trouble. Beecher
the great, the good. the renowned, has
fallen But his fall is not so great as tc
put him beyond the pale of charity. He
saw his danger, saw his sin. and repent
ed before he committed any heinous
crime. Who shall cast the first stone
1t Is great misfortune that Mr.. Beech
er made this step. The cause of moral
ity and Christianity suffers and viii suf-
fer in consequence, not only because a
| great man has made a sad mistake. but
because 4 great power for good has been
lessened IN this tarnish on the name Of
Henry Ward Beecher. Many believe that
the event viii send him to a premature
grave, and that speedily.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN

For several weeks past, the opponents of
Judge Poland have been busiIy engaged

REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS.
LADIES' ATTENTIONS TO MINISTER'S

The Beecher recital has caused great many
anonymous pastors of flocks to rush to the front
and tell the sympathizing public how much they
have to endure from persevering tenders of affec-
ton on the part Of their female parishioners.
They do not openly present chapter and verse in
the story Of their sufferings but hint that they
'could if they would give blood.chilling reci-
tails of the manner in which ladies' have flung
themselves at their heads, and. asssled their
tempted hearts.
1t may be all true, or on the other hand ''may
be no So" There are recorded cases of hallu-
citations upon this tender subject. Miss Miggs,
we are told, was under chronic apprehension be-
cause she thought Sim Tapertit desired to
kiss her, whereas ''Simmuns" had no weakness
at all in that direction. The elder Mr.. Weller,
too, had fear Of the seductive assaults of vd-
ders which his son Samuel considered unwar-
ranted by facts. So possibly some Of these OPP
pressed gentlemen may oyerrate the impression
produced by their charms. However, as every
body is busy pointing out the morals to be drawn
from the unhappy Brooklyn affair, we suggest,
as our contribution, that ladies may see by these
sidelights that it is dangerous to manifest any
special friendliness or intimacy towards pastor,
eince there is possibility that even the most in
nocent attentions may be misunderstood.
