A WRITER in the Chicago Tribsse holds that
the tails of comets have no actual existence.
that no more tail is attached to them than there
is to the moon or to any other planet. The
production Of tail is thus described: The
comet being body Of atmosphere. transPa-
rent globe, the rays Of the sun. striking It. in-
stead of being absorbed or reflected. pass right
on through it. BY tho friction thus undergone
they become heated. and consequently produce
light and become visible. In this heated con.
dition these rays leave the comet and pass Oh
into space.> remaining visible 80 long 10 they
retain the heat. and thus forming the so-called
comets tail-the surface Of the comet being
convex, which turns the rays towards focus
thus causing the frequent fan-shaped tails =

5GovERNoR MOSES OF sourH CARoL1NA.-

IUOvERNOR MOSES OF SOUTH CAROLINA
The New York Times sent special cores
pondent sometime ago to inquire into the OK
ploits OF this official buccaneer, and bis report
is published. It sets out by stating that Moses.
during his canvass for Governor Of that much
afflicted State. purchased the support Of the
Uaion-H Herald, for $12 900. one-half Of which
''was to be taken from the State civil contin-
gent fund, which had not yet been appropriat-
ed, and the rest was to be paid in other State
securities" To secure the payment of the first
six thousand dollars, the Governor, as his first
Official act, appointed negro boy under twen-
ty-one years old. named Humbert. to be county
Treasurer of Orange county. Humbert was
instructed to collect tho amount and hand it
over to T. C. Andrews, one Of the proprietors
Of the above named paper. assuring the boy
that he Governor Moses). would make the
matter all right" The boy did as directed.
Some weeks after this. the Legislature appro-
priated $4,000 as q contingent fund. and tho
Governor drew the whole amount immediately.
Humbert next went to Columbia to pay over
the taxes he had collected, offering the Gov
ernor's warrant on the Contingent fund for
&c, 900. which the State Treasurer refused to
accept, for the reason that Moses had already
drawn the whole amount Alarmed at this.
the boy went to the Governor, who told him to
say nothing about it. and he would protect
him and see that he came out all right" He
also advised the boy to buy school claims against
the State. which could be got at 40 cents on
the dollar, and he would get the Treasurer to
accept them ut their face. After the necessa
~ vouchers had been secured. the Treasurer
! refused to accept them. and had the unfortu-
nate negro arrested, charged with being de-
faulter. When the boy was released, on bail,
which happened shortly afterwards. Moses tried
| to induce him to surrender the writings be-
tween them and plead guilty to the charges
against him, promising him pardon as soon as
he should be convicted. The boy declining ia
follow his advice, bath he and the Cove rnor
were indicted-the boy for an attempt at grand
larceny and for failing to return money col
lect-d. over to the State Treasury and
the Governor as an accompice. Had the boy
been convicted and sent to the penitentIary
he would have been powerless as witness
against the Governor, who would then have
escaped punishment, to avoid which State So
hcitor Buttz caused the trial to be postponed
and Justice may be done yet. The Governor
is also accused Of scattering pardons freely by
telegraph. and several instances OF the kind re
lated; and of creating State Constabies witt
salaries at s75 per month, we'll knowing there
is no law IN sustain his action. But we have
not space to follow the Times article further
It makes out the worst case Of sc"undrelisu
against Moses we have yet seen against any
the class of soulless miscreants BY which th'
South has been overrun since the war. and tn
| Times being Republican paper we hope n
will be punished rs he deserves.

MR.. BEECHERS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Beecher's statement is at length be-
fore the public. Reaffirming his iano-
cence of the charges made against him.
he explains in his own way the circum-
stances by which his guilt is attempted to
be proven. Throughout the statement
bears the appearance OF sincerity, candor
and conscious innocence. The revelation
is full upon all points, the challenge to
his accusers bold and direct. Every cir
cumstance that weighed against him is
met, and all who have anything to say
are invited to speak. Looking it all over
we think the general opinion CT the mat
ter will be that Mr.. Beecher was foolish
but not guilty. That he should have al
lowed such web to be woven around
him by such miserable gang Of con-
spirators. of which Moulton appears to
have been the chief, and that ho should
have worn it four years although it chafed
him nearly to distraction. is the weak and
almost inexplicable part Of the whole
miserable business.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1874-08-17

consistent with Mr.. Beecher's explanations
and in several points quite inconsistent
with the idea of his guilt. The comics
sion itself was never written or read by
him. some of the sentences in 1t were
never uttered by him, and it wholly re-
lated to his mental distress at finding him.
self. as he thought, in some way response
ble for Tiltons business and social ruin.
For the rest. the detailed account of his
dealings with Tilton and Moulton furnish
es perfectly natural explanation. The
fear ofapoplexy, especially under mental
trouble, accounts for the illusions TO his
probable death expectation of never preach
inc another sermon, and the like; and the
admission that he has paid seven thousand
dollars to Tilton, and only stopped when
five thousand more were demanded though
given with too little detail, seems to throw
a flood OF light Oh some OF the motives that
have led to this shocking business.
The statement will measurably clear
away the clouds that have been dark and
thick about Mr.. Beecher's name. fit had
come sooner, it would in all probability
have ended the scandal. Fdr that we must
look now to the cross-examination. which
cannot yet be weighed, to collateral proofs

people always exacting in such cases. but
generally sure in the end to be just. They
will probably regard his course as unwise
his friendships as unworthy. his heated
language in critical moments as unsafe,
and his course through the whole misera-
BILE business as weak but not wicked.
The World briefly speaks of the matter
as follows:
Mr.. Beecher has rescued himself from his
only peril. He has stated the history OF
his relations with the Titons and with
Moulton, without reserve. The charges
of Tilton have been supportedby no proof.
The garhled extracts from Mr.. Beechers
own letters were, in our judgement at
least, inconsistent with the truth OF III
tons charge. But they were such letters
as to need explanation. Mr.. Beecher has
made that explanation, sparing no one.
neither Titon, nor Moulton, nor himself.
Thus at last proving that he has nothing
now to conceal, Mr. Beecher dispels the
only shadow of distrust which may have
crept over his good name among fair and
pure minded men.

BEECUkR'S STATEMENT.

As he had grown up under my influence and
in my church, l could never free myself frcm
a certain degree of responsibility for his mis-
doings, such as visits father for wrong do
ing son, and, in times Of great mental depres-
sion, this feeling sometimes amounted almost
TO a mania,
Among the last desperate efforts to restrain
him from overwhelming himself, his family,
myself, the church, and the whole community
with the fetid flood of scandal which he had
by this this time accumulated, were those
connected with the charges of Mr.. West, and
the subsequent proceedings of the Examining
Committee of the church. The prosecution
of Mr.. Tilton / felt bound to prevent.
In any form / would strive to prevent the
belching forth of a scandal; but in that form
it was peculiarly distasteful. 1t present.

or innocence could be tried, it was round

THE NEW YORK PRESS ON BEECH.
ER'S STATEMENT.

The New York Times closes long ed
itorial as follows:
This is Mr.. Beecher's explanation. We
cannot undertake to analyze it at the late
hour at which it has reached US, or to en-
deavor to point out its strength and its
weakness. 1t does not account for his
conduct in way that men of the world
will generally accept as conclusive. 1t
discloses a curious amount of moral
cowardice and great deal of irrational
behavior. 1t reveals Mr.. Beecher's char
acter as entirely different from what it has
generally been supposed to be. But we
believe the impression will be general
that, conceding Mr.. Beechers character
to be what he paints it. bis story is not in
consistent with innocence.
The New York Tribune reviews and COM
ments upon the case in the following ar
ticle;
Mr.. Beecher has spoken. If the state
ment we print this morning had been
given to the world within reasonable
time after Mr.. Tilton's charges, the scan
dial would now be dead. Delay has made
the task of killing the poisonous growth
immeasurably harder but we believe that
candid readers will still rise from Mr.
Beecher's nervous recital with the con-
viction that he has been the victim of a
monstrous conspiracy.
The case against Mr.. Beecher rested
First and mainly, On his own letters -
Second, On Mrs. Tilton's confessions -
Third, On Mr.. Moulton's private decla-
rations that the pastor had confessed the
crime to him; and
Fourth, On Mr.. Titons claim that he
had likewise confessed it to him.
1.-THE first of these grounds for believing
the monstrous charge could be removed,
the rest would not support it. The Sec
ond was worthless because Mrs. Tilton
had retracted and explained to such an
extent that even the Judge
most prejudiced against Mr.. Beecher
could 60 no farther than to hold her testi-
mony of no weight on either side The
third was nearly worthless by reason of
Mr.. Moulton's extraordinary conduct and
general character; but 1t is now utterly
demolished by the production of one OF
Mr.. Moulton's letters, explicitly admitting
that the whole case might be published
to the world the next day and Mr. Beech
err could stand. And the fourth has not
from the first been regarded unparalleled
people as OF any value, and after Mr.
Beecher's exposure will seem contempt
IDLE.
The case then rests solely on Mr.. Beech
er's own letters. Does he explain them!
He certainly shows that they have been
monstrously garbled. That long letter,
that In which he speaks of living on the
sharp and rugged edge of anxiety, re,
morse. fear. and despair, proves to have
been nearly four times as long as the parl
given by Mr.. Tilton, seems thoroughly
