prrCnER,s LAST SERMON.

On our first page we give Beecher's
statement and explanation of the
great scandal. The document is char
acteristically observation-disclosures
ing in beautiful rhetoric, elegant
rhapsody, and glittering ambiguity.
1t is one of his neatest and most
pointless sermons--the most notable
specimens of forensic eloquence that
has ever emanated from his gifted
pen. Asis graphically said Of noted
stump orators most brilliant effort,
"its scope is broader, its rhetoric
grander, and its periods more per-
fectly rounded than anything on the
same theme ever Illuminated from
fiery thought and unbounded i'm
agery."
1t is like his sermons-written to
please the fancy rather than to con-
vince the reason; and fails lamentably
to give any specific denial or tangible
proof of his innocence Of the heinous
ofense charged against him. After
reading his statement we regret to be
compelled to say that We are only
more fully convinced Of his guilt.
There can be scarcely any question
about the matter. We believe if
every journalist of the Nation were
to speak out honestly and frankly
upon the subject he would agree with
US.
The Investigating Committee, ap-
pointed by himself from his own con-
9regation. may kalsomine him until
his character shall shine as a whited
but the putrid, fostering
mass of corruption will still remain
within that polished shell, a stencil in
The nostrils Of more decent but less
notorious Christianity than that of
lhe Plymouth Church school.

One advantage possessed by the
Democrats Of Indiana in the political
campaign which they have Just in
eugurated is the disintegration going
pn among their Republican oppon-
'nts. What was once the dominant
party in Indiana is now split into
hree discordant factions-the Inde-
pendents being one, the Prohibition
pts another, and the regular Repub.
can organization a third. Then
gain the last named faction isdivided
between large segment of inAation-

egment Of contraetionists-Feder

prmerly acted with the Republican
hrty have abandoned it forever on
pcount Of It's coquetting with the
usadera. II is in a very seedy and

his recklessness has well nigh caused
her dheath On several occasions
About three months since this young
man, when on the point OF separating
from his affianced until the next eve
ming, made a mistake in his selection
of overcoats in the hall, and, finding
a revolver in the pocket, he drew it
out and commenced toying with the
weapon. Itwas accidently discharged
as a natural consequence, and the
young lady received severe wound
in the arm. This mishap retarded
the courtship for time, but the
maiden finally recovered, and the
current of true love was gliding very
placidly again, when she accepted an
invitation TO ride out with her lover.
The couple had scarcely started when
the horse ran away, the buggy was
capsized, and the young lady was
thrown donw bank sustaining a
fracture of the leg and severe bruises.
This accident will again defer the cul-
minatlon of this disastrous courtship
for several months longer With pa
thence and the exercise of much pru'
dence however, they may be happy
yet.
The Salem Statesman gives the fol-
lowing particulars of a terrible tragedy
which happened near Frank Cooper's
coal mine just across the line divid-
ing Marion from Clackamas county
and within about six miles Of fSilverton.
The story, as told, is that Friday
afternoon, the 14th inst, a man by the
name otMurdock went to "Silyerton
and procuring some whiskey, became
very much intoxicated. Leaving
Silverton about dark, he started home.
Reaching his house, and being rem
dered crazy by the liquor he had
drank, he started after his wife with
the evident intention of killing her.
She attempted to get out Of his way,
and going out ofthe house, ran around
it, her husband in hot pursuit, As
Mr.. Murdock was turning the corner
of the house, still endeavoring to
catch his wife, he was met by his son
Robert, man grown, who was armed
with club, with which he struck his
father The blow fell upon the fore
head, and with such force as to mash
the skull, killing the old man instantly
AT the time our informant left Silver
ton no arrest had been made of the
younger Murdock, nor had there
been any steps taken in reference to
the matter. The man who was killed
was very notorious character, and
perhaps he deserved no better fate,
for his attempting to take the life of a
woman. and she his wife.

IT'S RELIGION THAT CAN GIVE, ETC.

At the NJ, Il. Conference now in
session at Portland, a leetle more OBJ
streperousness is displayed among
the preachers than appears just right
and harmonious to the average locker
on. Trials Of three delinquent
preachers have been going on, in
which much bad blood was mani
tested. In the trial of Rev. |. d.
Driver, dccused of lying, etc., one
excited brother rose to his feet and
spake these winged words; "Not-
withstanding Bro. -- has pro-
fessed for me such great love and
affection, his love is as that of the
mouse for the cupboard, which, find
ing nothing there, went in search Of
another larder A man who would
bring suclf insinuations against me
as he has done would use his fathers
coffin, ii he was short of frewood, OF
sell his mothers bones if he could
turn dollar out Of them" OF course
such language as those created a sen.
sation in that ecclesiastical body, but
it was some little time before the
devil was driven from the temple and
the 'umble spirits of the contite and
lowly Methodists were sufficiently
chastened to proceed with their de-
liberations in dignifod and fra
ternal way.
