INTERVIEW WITH A RELATIVE.
The New YORK correspondent OF the Boston
Journal writes 70 that paper as follows:-

The New YORK correspondent OF the Boston
Journal writes TO that paper as follows:-
clerical gentleman, near relative Of Mr..
Deecher, has recently made some statements that
have An important bearing and throw some light
on the charges made against the Plymouth pastor.
He says that from an intimate acquaintance with
Mr. Beecher for years he knows that he inherits
She pecuiarittes OF the Beecher family. The
grandfather and sons, including the father OF Mr..
beecner and the brothers, have been known to be
possessed Of alienation OF ecstacy and despond
ency. Ii used to De called bad type OF dyspepsia,
parOxysms OF pam, rolling on the moor or on the
grass followed In an hour or 80 with sort Of ec-
static Joy. In certain moods Mr.. Beecher has been
distinguished for Q sort OF extravagant utter
Ances, followed BY equally extravagant regrets.
He iectured in New BEDFORD and made one or
two lunges at orthodoxy which brought
the house down. The next morning q very
devout lady, wen known to Mr.. Beecher said
20 him, IL cannot let you leave town without ex-
pressing my deep regret that you should so
violently assatl the taith Of the fathers" '-Oh,n
said the preacher, '.you don't feel half as pad
about 1t as l oo." This relative adds that MIR.
Beecher, during his whole life, has been especially
sensitive about character and the purity OF the
ministry. When he found himself watched and
dogged and misunderstood, and that actual
charges were preferred against him. his sensitive
nature was violently agitated at the Idea that his
good name and fame were to be Questioned He
made utterances about his conduct that nobody
else would have made, and rather than have his
good name soiled he would rather die.
