The philologists at Hartford, last week, discussed number of interesting matters. Among other things the advantage of a phonetic alphabet was strongly urged. There is no doubt that many years of every child's life are wasted in the intricacies of English spelling. Still the practical diff ficulty would be that the adoption of a pho- netic alphabet would be to compel child ren to learn both the new and the old al- phabets for generation or two.

The defeat of the bill allowing the Par allel railroad company to bridge the Hou- satonic in the Senate probably postpones any further attempt to establish road that will compete with the New York and New Haven monopoly for another year. While we regret such result, we do not sufficiently understand the facts, amidst the conflicting statements of the respec- tive parties, to have formed any positive opinion regarding the character of this new company. If the scheme was likely to turn out another Credit Mobilier swim dle, it is we'll that it IS nipped in the bud; but if. as we had supposed, the very strin- gent provisions of the existing general railroad act are sufficient protection to the public. the refusal of the legislature to authorize the bridging of the Housaton- ic above the existing drawbridge of the New York and New Haven road is, to say the least, most unfortunate mistake. The course taken by the latter company seems anything but a straight forward one. In order to obtain the consent of the legislature to consolidation, they d. lowed the present general act, drawn up, we believe, by their own attornies. to be- come law. The requirements of this law were so exacting that no one expected it to be of much practical use. Nov, how ever. that it seems likely to raise up ri- val, they Ego back on" the work of their own hands. and procure the passage of still more stringent requirements with a view of permanently killing off danger ous competition. 8a

The appointment of railroad commis- siOners is finally given to the governor, ; but MT. Bills amendment requiring them to walk the tracks of tho railroads at least once a year, was rejected, as well as the Senate amendment legislating the present board out of office. We are inclined to regret the failure of the latter amendment. The present board is a sham, and as the governor will now have the appointment of but one member, its continued ineffi- ciency, for at least year, is a necessary result.

The bill recognizing Episcopal socie- ties, which was sharply debated and in- definitely postponed in the House on Wednesday last, was one which had been considerably discussed and finally ap- proved in the last Episcopal convention of this diocese. Its most important pro- visions are those making the rector of a parish Q member of it's vestrY, and char man of all parish meetings, and increas- ing the power of the wardens and vestry. We are inclined to believe the proposed legislation injudicious. In most Protest ant religious societies the best form of government is that which represents most perfectly the views of the members by whose voluntary contributions those so- cieties are supported. We are aware that in many cases unreasonable opposition will arise in a parish against it's rector; but we believe that, no matter how un- reasonable such opposition may be, it is always unwise for a rector to attempt to continue his connection with his parish in the face of determined opposition from any respectable portion of his parishion- CTS. Now it certainly does become neces- sary, at times, that the continuance of the pastoral relation should be the subject of discussion at society meetings; and at such times nothing could be more improper and indelicate than the presence-as pre- siding officer, too-of the very person whose conduct, ability. and fitness for the rectorate, are to be discussed. In one in- stance, our readers may recollect, rector of the Episcopal society of Marbledale, in this county, insisted on presiding over parish meetings, and coolly ruled all mo- tions bearing upon tho continuance of his pastoral relation, out of orderl The Sen ate has passed the bill, we see, with the provision making the rector chairman of parish meetings struck out.

The military bill reported in the legis-
 iature is not satisfactory to those princi- pally interested. The most material change proposed is one which al,olis!es the mileage allowed by the existing statue. Now, the soldier gets , cents n mile for travel, and 30 cents day for ra- tons. Companies are usually allowed excursion rates on railroad trains, so that their actual expense of travel is somewhat less than the sum the State pays them. On the other hand their actual board costs them not less than dollar day and they receive from the State but 30 cents. What they save on mileage about balances, ill most cases, their loss on ra- tions, leaving them their wages, g day, entire. s..-.
 The bill reported by the committee of the present legislature reduces their mile age to actual expenses. and allows but 30 cents day for rations. This reduces the net wages of the private soldier from g q day to $l 80 and makes the farmer who is called from the hay field into camp feel as if he were paying pretty dearly for h1s glory.
 Moreover 1t is doubtful whether the State will gain what the soldier loses by the proposed arrangement. The reduc- tion of fares which a military company can generally secure would hardly be granted by the railroads to the State; and, at full fares, their saving on the present allowance for travel, will be very small.
 Regattas arc apt to be unsatisfactory; but, of all regattas, the Saratoga regatta has proved the most unsatisfactory. The victors of last year and the most promis- ing of this years crews. is disabled by a "foul, thrown out of the race, and re- ported last of the entire list Of compet- itors. But worse than the mere lameness of the issue, are the disgraceful attending circumstances. When party of roughs, attempting prize fight, are brought be- fore police court, We expect bitterness of feeling and conflict of testimony; but when @ dozen young gentlemen meet for friendly contest in rowing, and a few thousands of their friends come to look on, the exhibition of such bitterness and such lying on the part of some is any thing but pleasant to contemplate
 The statements of Yale and Harvard are so diametrically opposite; each is sup ported by such Cable bodied" testimony on the part of Columbia and Wesleyan, and the statements of outsiders are also of so diverse character, that it would be presumption to express any very positive opinion regarding the facts. We are sor- ry to believe, however, that Harvard and Yale, if not Columbia and Wesleyan, ex- pected unfair play and were fully prepar- ed to repay it in kind. With such state of feeling the result was not at all surpris- ing. Our guess is-for we pretend to nothing more defnite-that Harvard in- ficted the injury that disabled the Yale boat in retaliation for unfair practice, supposed or real.

The constitutional amendment for an increase of the Senate to forty or fifty members, was defeated in the House, last week. The bldnder of clerk occasion ed mistake in the copy of the proposed amendment printed with the public acts, last year. This mistake raised some doubts of the correctness of any final ac- ton on the amendment, and several mem- bers voted against iton that ground alone. There was besides a strong opposition to the proposed change on it's merits; and we think ourselves that the plan of making a Senate of fifty the popular" branch of the legislature, while town House of near 250 members represents anything but the people. is a very absurd arrange ment.

The latest phase of the constitutional crises in France seems to be unfavorable to the Imperiaiists. The plot in which Rouher was implicated was so thoroughly exposed by Gambetta and the Republicans, that prosecution of the Imperialist leader was unavoidable. For ton, the Minister of the Interior, resigned rather than authorize this prosecution. Mir. Magne's financial plan was upset in the Assembly, and the result is that the Imperialists have no representative in the present Cabinet. The Legitimists are equally disgusted with the refusal of Nc Mahon to play Monk in their scheme for a Restoration. The Republic is the gain CT by aii these divisions and we profoundly hope this reaetionary Assembly will be dissolved before they can frame consti- tuition with second chamber appoint .edby government, or any other absurd plan of repression that must inevitably lead to more revolutions. ess. ss .5

BEECHER TO MRS. TILTON.

BROOKLYN, Feb. I, II.
My DEAR Mrs. TILToN: When | saw
you last L did not expect ever to see you
again or to be alive many days. God was
kinder to me than were my own thoughts.
The friend whom God sent to me Moul-
toni has proved about all the friend tina,
| ever had able and willing to help me in
this terrible emergency Of my life. His
hand 1t was that tied up the storm
that was ready to burst on our heads
You have no friend, Theodore except
ed, who has it in his power to serve you
so vitality and will do it with such del
icay and honor. 1t does my sore heart
good to see in Mr.. Moulton feeling OF
respect and honor for you. He will be as
true a friend to your honor and happiness
as brother could be to sister. In him
we have common ground. You and
may meet in him. The past is ended, but
is there no future, no wiser, higher, holicr
future? Do not let my earnestness fail of
its end. You believe in my Judgment, |
have put myself wholly and gladly in
Moulton's hand, and there | must meet
you. This is sent with TheOdores con
sent, but he does not read it. Will you
return it to me by his own hand? | am
very earnest in this wish for all our sakes,
as such letter ought not to be subject to
even chance of miscarriage
Your unhappy friend,
BEECHER
That about year after Mrs. Tilton's
confession her mind remained in the fixed
opinion that her criminal relations with
Beecher had not been morally wrong, so
strongly had he impressed her to the con
| trary, but at length change took place
in her convictions on this subject as noted
in the following letter addressed by her to
her husband

have done you, and hasten INN cdiatey
to ask your pardon with penitence, 20 Sc
we're that henceforth, if reason remains,
you may trust me implicitly Oh, my
dear Theodore, though your opinions are
not of respect or cOngenial.t to my. soul, yet
my own integrity and purity are sacred
and holy things to me. Bless God with
me for Catherine Gaunt for all the sure
leadings of an all-wise and loving Provi-
dende. Yet, now feel quite prepared to
renew my marriage vow with you, 10 keep
as the Savior requireth who looketh at the
eve and heart. Never before could | say
this. When you yearn toward me with
true feeling. be assured fthe tried. puri-
