versed with Mrs. Cady Stanton on the 10th

band.
The Brooklyn Eagle says that when the
therefrom were put in type in its Office, and
Mr.. Beecher was advised thereof. He asked
that no notice be taken by the Eagle of the
horrible scandal. and said, against it put
up thirty years of my life in Brooklyn. put

ions as "Whoever does kindness to Frank
Moulton places me under lasting debt of

influence with the President to obtain the ap-
pointment of Jayne as Collector of the port
