fuH VERDICT.

On Friday evening Last the long and
laborious repor, of the Plymouth Church
Investigating Committee was duly submit
ted and accepted, with only one dissenting
voice in a gathering of three or fou- thou
sand memters of Plymouth Chrssa congre
CATION,
We -sas. es an ancient meeting and sup
DER where our Savior presided. One Judas
was there with bis thirty piece. of silver;
but that meeting antedates Radical imitation
sufficiently to explain the 5lackn alters
nor appearance at that church gathering.
At the Plymouth Church meeting Mr.
Z ID. Moulton, he Matchmaking Judas who
admits the takirg of $1,000 of Mr. Beech
er's money, Was there and voted against
receiving the report Of the comnittee.
/ This high toned mutual was braye'y sup
ported by several hired reporterr, who were
looking fer blaokmail, but were miraculous
ly saved sii? ;;:a.,. the Pssecher mob n their
t&2-
I really seeEfssd Earrpriein.., to them
according to their reports hew good the
Lord can be to vultures of the press And
! Moulton seemed exceedingly exa-rer
ated because such c9EnIttee rsen as Henry
/ W. Sage and IIerace B. Clam could not
take stock in the matchmaking firm Of
WoodhrlL Tiltor, MouIton & Co; bu,
he avcys his ,determinaiion to spit on bis
hands and try, i;,agaip.
Mr.. Moulton, as the PrLop. predicted
several weeks since, las shs;tsfed too much
! ia i matter to impress many people with
his sincerity ar n.n.sat frsnd. Plymouth
congregation has voted him fraud, and a
large majority of the thinking people
=, throughout the whole country will sustain
the decision.
Many havo supposed that the cry Of
Committee Whitewash would annihiatt
the effect of their report, but sooner or late,
they will realize their mistake, for til {
members Of this committee are as vel
and honorably known throughout tn,
land as the individual members Of thu
Supreme Court OF the United States. Thcil
firms have never had to pa7 the Govern
ment $500 for irregularities in custom.
as did Mr.. Moulton's-
Mr.. Beecher may have thanked his Goo
for sending him the dear mutaa! in the
past. Many a man has had like enshusi
asm with like experience following his
hasty judgment
The lively but not too prre ifnaSinatons
of all the Eche.ss;an reporters Gath in.

press with their trash, have not proved
equal to the overthrow Cf Plymouth Church
or the destruction of Mr.. Beecher's high
! characte-, Q. future power for good. Moul-
ton and few reporters, with genius for
innuendos, would not lave left enough Of
Solomon or David worth the fuss of Al
burial.
1t is now admitted by many Of the anti,
Beecher PRESS as the case now stands bcfu. c
the public that the testimonyfails to convince
the average mind of Mr. Bcechers guilt

document he may bring forth will
be met with general dstrust as manu-

his failure in getting more backmaiI
