The Herd4d editors seem to be confident that
there is great deal of force in AI,u1tons mar
rative, and argue as considerable lea 9Th to provo
that he is truthful witness. The Times,
strangely obyious to public lnteroHt in the docu-
ment, publishes shout three fourths OF 4 column
OF some OF tho letters which it thinks may
possibly have some Significance, and lanGuldly
observes edtorialiy that it is tired Of tho affair,
and cannot SEQ that the document casts now light
On tue dismal Affair."

RUMon.
The Union publishes rutnor, which it eAya
has been traced to good source, that Commit
teemen A. ". Sage and s. V. White refuse to

this is probably untrue, for White and Sage hare
been faithful heuch1nen to Beecher too long to
permit o. the thought Of their playing Lin false
now in his sore difficulty.
