Beecher and the Free Lovers.

A suggestive feature of the BEECH
by leading characters in the free-love
movement to prove BEECHER one of
their converts. In doing this they are
not seeking to destroy BEECHER,
though if they could prove what they
assert they would more effectually
drive him into disgrace than if he
should publicly admit all that TILToN
charges against him. The Woodruff
p alanx are working industriously to
prove the Plymouth Church parson a
man of advanced ideas" with q
view of making him their leader.
Mrs. STANTON and Miss ANTHONY,
the great woman's rights champions.
have also taken an active part in the
little difficulty. The latter, it seems,
knows all about Mr.. and Mrs. TIL
TONS domestic tits, and she brings to
the front some of these home scenes,
with the evident purpose of contribut-
ing her mite to the load under
which it is expected BEECHER will
ultimately sink. This class of testi-
mony will not hurt BEECHER, What
these people say may be truth, all
truth, but their motive is so appar-
ent that people will not believe them.
There is too much of the bob-tailed
fox policy in it. BEEcHER may en-
tertain advanced ideas on a great
many important social questions, but
we do not think he has progressed
quite as far as Mrs. Woodruff, nor
do we believe he las kept pace with
Mr.. TILToN in the great advance
movement. The people who seem so
anxious to claim BEECHER one of
themselves must give the world the
proof-the occular demonstration-of
what they assert, before they will be
a1le to cast the slightest stain upon
his character. The world will not con-
d.mn such man until he condemns
himself.

Indenendent Journals.

Some people imagine that an inde-
pendent newspaper should not men,
tion politics-that to do so is to lose
its independence; and these same peo-
pie are quite confident that the church
they belong to is the only gate through
which one may pass to Heaven. This
is o mistake. The independent news
paper is the freest and most unpreju-
diced of all journals, and it is therefore
the most impartial discusser OF politi-
cal questions. Party journals DO not
argue upon the issues OF the day.
They denounce without cause and
commend without reason. Their bus
iness is to SANDER and traduce their
opponents and to find virtues where
none exist in the candidates Of their
own party. The independent paper is
not tied down to party; it is not
compelled to advocate the election of
whoever county or State convention
nominates; it never stultifies itself
by lauding q man whom the whole
community knows to be indifferently
honest. The independent paperis the
purifier of the political atmosphere; it
is the bane of bad men and corrupt
parties. They fear its bold, out
spoken, honest sentiments. Their
own organs they know must defend
them, and those of the other side they
tell the world are paid to denounce
them, but the independent journal is
beyond their reach. 1t stands above
them, and they dread itas they would
dread the hair-suspended sword OF
DEMocLEs. They cannot destroy it;
influence by asserting that it is 9
party paper, and they know its opin'
ions are accepted by the people as fact
1t is the independent press that the
public must look to for clear exposi.
tion of political questions, and for q
fair and truthful estimate of political
aspirants. 1t is the inder rendent pres;
that elects good men to office, and
keeps bad ones out of places OF honor
and trust.

A large quantity of California oat-
hay, in bales, is being received in Vir-
ginia City and distributed among the
various livery stables. The importa-
ton of California hay is new thing,
but this season, owing to the high
price of the domestic article, it is found
profitable.
The Virginia Chronicle, of Thurs
day, in concluding an editorial on the
recent clOud-bursts, in Nevada. says:
ga better illustration of the sudden
precipitation of such vast volume of
water can be readily illustrated in the
chemists laboratory. by the simple
process of combining hydrogen and
oxygen and producing the liquid water
10y the electric spark. 1t is doubtless
this combining principle OF electricity
which causes all rain storms, whether
accompanied by visible lightning
flashes or otherwise, and when we
have water-spout, or clOud-burst, we
only experience on a grand scale the
simple experiment of combining oxy-
gen and hydrogen by the electric
spark. In conclusion, we only have
to add that the conformation of the
great Basin of Nevada and Utah
clearly indicates that it is the bed of
an ancient sea, and therefore the true
home of the water-spouts anyhow. In
addition to this, the whole country
abounds in vast belts of iron, which
are the best conductors known for
electricity, and it is not surprising
that the great mineral beds of the
base-metal range should be subject to
startling electrical phenomenal

A Neglected Duty.

In this town no certificate of death
is required from the attendant physi-
clan. The number Of births are un-
known, or only gathered from news
paper announcements. This is not
the custom pursued in other cities, and
1t should not be the custom here. We
should have health officer who
should keep record of all births,
deaths and interments occurring in the
city. 1t should be made the duty of
every physician, when a death occurs
in his practice to give a certificate to
that effect with the name, age, color,
nativity, date of death, place of death
and occupation of deceased. Every
sexton, undertaken, superintendent of
a cemetery, or other person who shall
inter or cause to be inferred any hu-
man body without having first OBJ
tanned and filed with the health off,
Ger q physicians certificate or the
Coroner's certificate setting forth as
nearly as possible the name, age, color,
sex, date and place of birth and local
ity of death and cause of death of the
deceased. Physicians and accouchers
should be compelled to return to the
health officer all births, deaths, and
the number of still-born children oc-
curing in their practice. These things
are deemed indispensable in every
other town as large as Los Angeles,
and We hope the City Council will go
forward in the work they have pro-
jected and enforce these necessary
regulations.

silver is applied are so numerous that
all the cinnabar mines now worked in
the world do not produce sufficient
quantity of the article. The recent
discovery of rich mines of this mineral
in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo
counties will no doubt add largely to
the quicksilver product of California.
The owners of these ledges are taking
active steps for erecting the requisite
works, and in short time the product
from them will form no inconsiderable
portion of the immense amount OF
quicksilver produced in this State.

The Old. Old story.

New YORK. July 3I.-The Express
has the following: When Beecher was
informed of the arrest of TiltOn on a
charge of slandering him, he said:
"Poor Theodore, 1 pity him." In re-
gard to his statement for the commit
tee, he said it was not yet completed,
but he was at work upon it. 1t was
suggested to him that it would be a
capital idea to read it in large
church, an admission fee of one dollar
a head and devoting the proceeds to
the poor. He laughed, and thought
it good idea.
One paper asserts that a reply has
been received from Moulton to the
written request of Beecher; while an
other says Moulton still remains out

Beecher's friends assert that when
Moulton'S evidence is submitted, 1t
will entirely exonerate him from all
of apology were brought about and
written for an entirely different pur-
pose from that described by Mr.. Til
ton.
To reporter, in confidential talk,
Mr.. Beecher intimated that his friends
could rely on him; that, although at
present dark, the sun of truth would
soon burst forth and dissipate the
clouds. He was preparing a refuta-
ton of all charges against him, and
felt strong in his own heart. He
might have been inconsiderate, even
indiscreet, but he had wronged 40

in this city. Sordo was delivered to
the eSheriffyesterday by Manuel Largo,
General of the Cahuillo Indians
who with four subordinate chiefs
brought in the prisoner. When cap
tured he was taken to San Bernar-
dino; but Manuel was told there to
bring the prisoner to San Diego, which
he has done. 1t will be rememb bered
that SheriffHunsaker fired upon Sordo
several times while he was running
away, and thought he had wounded
him, but an examination of the pris-
oner shows that he escaped unhurt.
He had his handouts cut off by a
blacksmith near Guatay, as heretofore
related.

Grant, reiterating in the main the ap-

by the negro Lieutenant Governor,
Davis. He makes no formal demand
for troops, but the tenor of his dispatch
is such as to intimate that they should
be called to Vicksburg on election

much of the testimony in reserve. A
member of the committee said yester-
day that in law the whole of the letter
quoted must be submitted to make a

fragments of Tilton's letters, the con-
