then TIlton charged Beecher with
comprising his ruin for the ole
purpose Which actuated King Da
vid toward Uriah. He even CT,
tortcd a certificate from Mrs. Til,
ton that he had made impure prop,
ositions 10 her, and though she
gave Beecher a counter certificate
il was extorted from him by Moul'
tor at the point of the pistol
Then followed Tiltcn's threats o!
an exposure, and to prevent the
great scandal which would follow.
Beecher tried by every means, TO
procure a settlement, even to fur
nishing him large amounts of mon
ey, until he finally concluded that
Tilton, instead Of being the victim
of lunacy, was really attempting
to blackmail him and then nc
refused &c go farther, and this in
vestigation followed.
The world will be divided in
opinion unless new evidence one
way or the other, should be pro-
duced. Tiltor really pretends to
know but little, save confession
OF Beecher, which he has failed to
prove, and certain letters which
Beecher explair to have been in
nocent. Moulton has told nothing,
and Mrs. TiltOn has ccrtninly Ger
titled and testified both ways, so
that any statement she has made
contains the elements Of its own
destruction. Lastly, it is POSSIBLE
that Mr.. Beecher's story may be
true, and possible that Tilton's and
a portion of Mrs. Tilton's state
ments are untrue. Nothing is pro-
ven either way, except, that Beech
er has been both imprudent end
Even Tilton may be innocent in
degree, but we are at least ready
to believe that Mr.. Beecher's trou-
bles may have been brought about
by very charitable motives on his
own part.

TIE Richmond DISPATCH puns
on the name of DIR. Bagby'S book
by asking what Gen. Malone does
with his $4,000 year, and Row
orr State Treasurer gets along on
his $4,000. One of the uses Ma
hone seems to have made of his
money is to teach Virgipians that
the proper place to dump her
trade is on the common highway
of the world at Norfolk, and how
to do their own express business
without taxing the Ieople with the
fund necessary to get the Adamses
to do it for them. As 70 Mr.. Hum
ter he seems to have til 3ught the
Office of the State Treasurer more
acceptable than the tolls from his
mill in Essex, and as proof of this
we cite the fact that ne does not
leave the Treasury for the toll
dish.
But sec here If Mr.. Hunter
can be had at $4,000 does the Dis
patch favor paying him more 2
And if the Stockholders Of a. M.
& o. r. R. wish to employ Gen.
Malone and pay him for his SER
vices a rate agreed upon, does the
DISPATCH think a portion of it
should be taken away from him I?

GEN. TERRY A CANDIDATE.

We are in possession of letter
from Gen. Terry, in which he states
that our inference that the Candidacy
Of Mr.. Kent implies his withdrawal
is incorrect and that he is a candi-
date for the Marion Nomination.
In another column we publish let
ter from Mr.. Kent, in which he APP
pears as a candidate by consent, but
not by direction. Our error last
week was iu the fact that we inferred
the announcement to be at his own
request, which inference was fully
shared by the gentleman who had been
Instructed 10 order US to make the an.
nounccment. We this week with

EDITOR NEWS:
Shiny attention has been called
to a notice in the last issue of your
paper announcing me as Candidate
for Congress in this District and to
al editorial IN the same issue infering
that Gen. VIM. Terry is no longer a
candidate. There is, in this, degree
of mistake, which, in justice to Gen.
Terry as well as myself. | must ask of
you the favor 20 correct. l have never
authorized an announcement such as
that which, through some misunder-
standing, is made in the News -
| have simply said to friends who
wished il to be known that my name
would be brought before the Conven-
ton for the nomination, that if they
thought proper, they might say it was
intended by them so to present my
name, and that, if nominated, would
accept. l have no idea that this will
make any difference in the course Of
Gen. Terry.
Very Respectfully,
R. G. KENT.

theory, that the Sun is the center

A BRIEF TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
The Duke of Orlesns, the eldest son
of King Louis Philippe, vas the in
heritor of whatever rights his father
could transmit. He was 8 noble
young man-physically noble. His
generous qualities had rendered him
universally popular. One morning
he invited few companions to break
fast, as he was about to take his de
parture from Paris to join his regi-
ment. In the c~onviviality of the
hour he drank a little too much wine.
He did not become intoxicated-he
was not 10 any respect a d~issipated
man-his character was lofty and
noble-but in that joyous hour he
drank one glass too much. In taking
the parting glass, he slightly lost the
balance of his body and of his mind
Bidding adieu to his companions, he
entered his carriage; but for that one
extra glass of wine he would have
kept his seat. He leaped from the
carrisge; but for that one glass OF
wine be would have alighted on his
feet. His head struck the pavement
Senseless and bleeding, he was taken
into a beer shop neal by, and died
The extra glass of wine overthrow
the Orleans dynasty, confiscated their
property of one hundred millions OF
dollars, and sent the whole family
into exile.

An Abandoned Brewery.

John A Boppe, a heavy brewer Of
lager in Newark, n. j, has aban.
doned the business His lager has
been famous and it has brought him
half a million of money. The aban
donmentofthe business by Mr. Boppe
has caused much speculation among
his German acquaintance, and va
rious reasons were given for the
resolution to which Mr.. B has
come. Among other reasons alleged
was that of the influence of a revi.
val of religion. just now going on
in Newark. But Mr.. Boppe says
his action is not the result of reli
glous excitement, but of conviction
of duty. Three years since he
stopped drinking beer or any other
liquor, and reflection has convinced
that if lager was hurtful for him II
was hurtful for others, and he
ought not to make it, and so he has
stopped and he will make no more
nor allow the building to be used
for a brewery.

I'm on the Jury.

Up in Blossburg the other day, 8
lightning-rod mar drove up in front
of a handsome edifice standing in the
midst of trees and shrubs, and spoke
to Mr.. Summers, who was standing
on the steps in front. He accosted
Summers as the owner of the house
and said:
81 e you have no lightning-rods
on this house."
NO" said Summers.
care you going to put any on?"
swell, l hadn't thought of it," re
piled Summers.
"You ought to. A tall building
like this is very much exposed. I'd
like to run you up one Of my rods;

plated tips everything complete
May l put one up to show you? I'll

have not the slightest objection"
said Summers.
During the next half hour the man
had his ladder up and his assistants
a! work, and at the end of time the
work was done. He called Summers
out into the yard to admire it. He
said to Summers:
Nov, that is we'll enough, but if
it was my house I'd have another
rod up on the other side. There's
nothing like being thoroughly pro-
tected."
That's true" said Summers, sit
would be better"
I'll put up another, shall I?' asked
the man.
"Why, of course, if you think it
best" said Summers.
Accordingly the man went to work
again, and soon had the rod in its
place.
That's a first rate job," ne said to
Summers, as they both stood cycling
it. 81 like such a mar as you are.
Big hearted, liberal, not afraid tn put
a dollar dewn-foF a-good-thine.
There's some pl~easurein dealing with
you. like you go much that I'd put
a couple more rods on that house.

south, for almost nothing"
cit would make things safer, l sup
pose," said Summers.
Certainly it would. 81 had bet
ter do it. hadn't I-hey?"
"Just as you think proper" said
Summers.
So the man run up two more rods,
and then he came down again and
said to Summers:
There, that job is done. Now let
us settle up
"Do what?"
z "Why, the job is finished and I
viii take my money"
"You donot expect me TO pay you,
/ hope2"
"of curse 1 do. Didn't you tell
me to put these rods on your house?"
"My houseP" shouted Summers.
and lightning! 1 never
ordered youto put those rods up. 1t
would have been ridiculous. Why.
mar, this is the courthouse, and l
Inn here waiting for the court to as
semble. l am on the jury. You
seemed to be anxious to rush out
your rods, and as it was none of nv
business, ] let you go on. Pay for

The Blossburg people say that the
manner In which that lightning rod
