has been passing TO and fro and not less
than 10000 persons have visited the ship
during the day, the wharfs being crowded
all day bypeople waitingto be taken of In
tugs. A large force of policemen Was de.
tailed'to asslstsih conducting the trans.
portstion and preserve order. At about
II O'Clock A. n. message was brought
on board from Mayor Cobb, extending an
invitation 10 the directors in charge oi
the excursion and the officers OF the yes.
sci to. dine with him. The invitation
was declined on account Of the necessity
for the presence OF these officers on the
ship, and an invitation was sent TO Mayor
Cobb and the city authorities TO visit the
vessel. This was accepted, and Messrs.
Talcott, Alexander and Forrest waited on
the municipal officers and escorted them

the Charlestown Navy Yard, E. NJ. Masse
and many sojourning officers.
The Bostonnewspapera comment favor
ably on the visit Of the Peking; and the
new phase of American enterprise de
veloped by her construction. The Jour-
nal Of this afternoon says, This magnifl
cent.product Of our Ship yards Is all more
welcome from Its signalizIng the final dis
appearance Of that paralysis which has sc
long rested on American ship building anC
that it is now to be restored, we trust 10 tht

her visit to our port.
Should the weather prove favorable /
Is expected that the return trip OF tn

morning, will be devoted 10 turthe
test OF tho vessels speed.

If there was NO other evidence than
the speeches Of BRIGHAM YouNG himself
to show the degraded character Of his

From these extracts, which must be
taken as the first expressions, Of public
opinion not only on the spot where the
address was delivered, but in a country
where the popular mind Is already ripe
for entering with yigor into q thorough
discussion ofthe metaphysical problems
which have been again brought prom
inently before them, it may be safe 10 in.
fer that q warm controversy ls at hand.
II may or 1t may not possess the charac-
ter OF publicity, but It will certainly take
place. The mere fact that MIR. Tyndall
has avowed himself a convert to material,
ism will probably carry some along with
him, But the subject Ia one oi. those IL
which the disputants do not readily
yield their opinions. Every point or
both sides will, in all probability, bt
warmly contested, and II so they cannoI
fail also to be very much elucidated. The
only fear for which there Is any rea
foundation is that some will rush hotlJ
into the contest under the impulse Of pre-
judice or ignorance. Such persons only
do mischief. What Is wanted Is . calm
and careful investigation Of the who'll
subject in all It's minutest details, ant
with accumulated knowledge OF facts By
men Of science and powerful mental CD
pacity. II such an inquiry should ii
reality follow as one Of the consequence

ACCORDING to the Cleveland Leader Of
yesterday, there Is evidence that the
Beecher-T -Tilton.Moulton wrangle, 90 far
from being at an end, is simply slumber.
ing preparatory to a freSh and probably
still fercer and nastler outbreak than any
Of the foregoing. Mr.. Beecher at his
mountain retrest is represented as out
wardly cheerful and happy, but to his in.
innate friends he reveals great anxiety
not 80 much for what may happen in the
future as 'forthe effect upon public opin.
ion Of him, Of what has already happened.
Notwithstanding the enthusiastic support
Of his congregation and the agreement Of
majority of the leading newspapers, secu.
lar and religious, that his. statement sue
cessfully answers all The charges hitherto
brought against him, the knowledge that
certain newspapers and part Of the public
still regard his case very serious, has
naturally marked effect upon Mr..
Beechers personal happiness. Meantime
Moulton, nndcr the advice and coaching
Of Ben Butler, Is working hard pn his
new and more elaborate statement,
which, however, will not prohably be
made public until Nj. BeecheTs lawyers
have filed their response to Tllton's
notice Of action. This sgaln Shows
Buffers handiwork. He does not wish
MOulton to unmask his position until
Mr. Beecher's party has delivered It'd
fire. Tilton, meanwhile, Is reported
busy on a new statement, to be published
nearly or quite simultaneously with Moul.
toms, in which hc promises 10 point out
several persons from whom the Plymouth
Church Committee might have derived
"conclusive evidence Of Mr.. Beccher's
guilt, but whom the committee neglected
TO summon. Tilton has been having an
interview with Mrs. Cady Stanton, who
will be brought again upon the scene.
The chances are, therefore, that the
scandal will drag Its slow length along
until Christmas or later. The suit in
court Is set down for October, and can
not fall 10 DO lengthy and desperate.
