Another French Blunder.

It appears now that it was not our English
cousins who were guilty of the attempt to gag
the press attributed to them by the cable.
John Mitchell may write if he likes on condi-
ton that he respects the British unites, but
his name at the end of communication will
not of itself expose the publisher to pains and
penalties. This absurdity is reserved for
France The government at Paris fears the
attacks Of Rochefort and Grousset, and under
the law which prevents men deprived of civil
rights contributing over their own names to the
press it is sought to prevent their attacking
the government. If Rochefort or any of his
condemned friends desire to write attacks on
the government they will very easily evade
this law, and the government will have ex-
posed itself to ridicule without deriving any
advantage from their wonderful proc
lamation. This decree was just what
Rochefort required to make his Lam
terne burn more brightly than ever. He
has something to say which the government
desires to prevent his saying. All France
will therefore feel compelled to read the at
tacks of the exiled Communist on MacMahon
and his government BY the blunders Of the
oeople in power Rochefort is called up from

1t Is begun the more effective it can be made
One Of the reasons for beginning thus early is
the fact that professional philanthropy has
proved failure. With the exception Of
St Johns Guild and one or two other
similar societies the charitable institutions
OF the metropolis are sinecures for officials,
but practically useless for the purposes for
which they were founded They profess to
fulfil great public end, but merely absorb
private charity. At the same time many of
them can be made exceedingly useful in aiding
great and necessary work but before they
can be of any use there must be satisfactory
evidence that they are not mere money making
schemes for the benefit of their projectors.
1t will thus be seen that investigation must
precede usefulness. There is too much sus-
picion in the public mind tN command private
charity for these institutions until it is shown
that they are worthy dispensers of the money
which they receive. This investigation and
reform are also o part of the preliminary
work which must be accomplished before the
days are shortened and the nights become
bleak and cold. The first duty is to find
work for the idle and the next to succor the
unemployed and the starving This must be
done by better hands than those to which the
greater part Of the work is at present COM
mitted, and private charity must know it is
not taxed for the mere benefit Of professional
philanthropists.

Private Charity and Professional Phi-
ianthrOpy.

Owing to the dulness in business and the
scarcity OF labor there is more suffering in this
city at the present time than was ever known
before Many of the working women are
without employment and stout and active
young men by the hundred apply for any
vacancy that may occur This is bad out
look for the winter, and there will be much
want In the metropolis unless timely measures
are taken to provide work for the unemployed
and food and shelter for the unfortunate. II
is very easy to say to the beggar. "Go to work,
but it is kind of advice that is hard to follow
when there is no work to be had. The most
bsneficent charity, then, for the winter of
ls74-5 will be to find employment for the
unemployed. To do this work efficiently
organization will be necessary. and the sooner

A STARTLING CONFESSION. Dying confess
slons are likely to be true, and, therefore, the
statement of James H. Reed, the Texas rob-
Der, will be generally believed. This man was
shot in Lamar county on the 9Th inst, by
deputy sheriff named Morris, and before his
his death he had time to tell the story of his
crimes. 81 cannot believe that one 80 brave
as Reed was, says Mr.. Morris, ''would speak
anything but the truth when he was positive
that he had only few minutes to live"
Reed confessed himself the leader of the Iowa
train robbery, the Ste. Genevieve and Gads-
hill robberies, and declared to the last that
Mccoy, the James and the Younger brothers
had no part in those crimes. This informa-
ton was sent to Missouri and is likely to
change public opinion in regard to these
men. They are fortunate that Reed lived
long enough to reveal their innocence to the
officer who was forced to kill him.
The New York herald., 1874-08-22

for doubling Moulton's statement in this
matter, principally because Beecher was 80
slow in suspecting blackmail, and, in any
event, Moulton's version of the transaction is
more creditable to Mr.. Beecher than bis own.
There would have been something noble in
Mr. Beecher-and he certainly is capable of
very noble actions-quietly assisting the man
whom he had injured it would have been
ignoble to have paid money to conceal that
which never occurred. It was long after the
charge of adultery had been made and con-
doned that this money was paid, and
there were no longer any transactions
with Bowen to give color to the idea that it
was because of Nlton's loss on the InIepend-
e'a that Beecher contributed to the Golden
Age. We have referred to these things as an
element in determining Moulton's credibility,
for on its face Moulton's version of the
''blackmail" story is more consonant with
reason and common sense than Beecher's.
The discrepancy is explained, perhaps, in the
fact that one view is that Of clergyman, the
other of man of business, and it is not
strange that the man Of business should pre-
sent the more credible statement
Another point which argues very strongly in
favor of Moulton's credibility is the esteem
in which he was held by Beecher. With the
earlier phases of Beecher's confidence in
Moulton our readers are already familiar. 1t
is interesting to note the manner in which
Mr.. Beecher treated the alleged blackmailer in
the later stages of the controversy. This
point is illustrated by the very remarkable
letter written in March last, in which Mr.
Beecher bewails the conduct of the inter-
meddling Shearman. As late as the 18th
of July he says he was ashamed
to put q straw more on Moulton, at the same
time saying to his "Dear Frank" that he has
'but single consolation-that the matter
cannot distress you long, as it must soon end;
that is, there will be no more anxiety about
the future, whatever regrets there may be for
the past" All this is very strong endorse
ment of Moulton, and in itself it will have
great weight in sustaining the direct
testimony of the witness on the
painful subject of Mr. Beecher's
guilt. We fain would have believed the great
clergyman had never fallen. We would fain
believe it now, if we could see any possible
way by which he could escape out of the
meshes which bind him. Moulton, pressed to
speak by the onslaughts of Mr.. Beecher and
Mr. Beecher's friends, has spoken at last, and,
panied as we are at the result, we cannot dis
regard the fact that the Plymouth pastor is
crushed, unless this terrible witness against
him can be shown to be monster of villany,
duplicity and falsehood.
