SECRETARY BRISTOw BALKS A
LITTLE JOB.
Washington tJune ~ Special to the Cincinnati

Washington lJune ~ Special to the Cincinnati

Secretary Bristow must be credited
with the accomplishment of one more
strategic movement. The bill amend
ing and revising the Customs law pro-
vides that carriage of merchandise in
the custody of the Government shall
be let, after thirty days notice, to the
lowest responsible bidder. In each of
the cities of New York, Boston and
Baltimore the carriage contract is big
thing, as every one knows who has read
the history Of the celebrated firm of
Leet & Stocking, who some years ago
figured in the former city. To control
the carriage OF all three of these cities,
of course, would be a still bigger thing.
Ii was something worth working for,
and that there were those living willing
to make the effort, came to the knowl-
edge of Secretary Bristow day or two
ago. 1t appears that a ring had been
formed IN this city, composed of a
Treasury official, a committee clerk
and three or four smart New
York spectators, who proposed to
take In these contracts, and then
sub-let them at low rate, and pocket
the difference. When the Secretary
came in possession of this knowledge,
he was IN the act of having prepared
the necessary advertisements for bids,
and he quietly inserted another prOviso
that no bid would be considered unless
the individual presenting it would ex-
pressly stipulate 10 personally superin-
tend and be responsible for the proper
execution OF the contract. As the
members of the little ring had no inten-
ton of taking off their coats and going
to work, they have concluded to leave
the contracts for legitimate bidders to
contend for.

THE Young woman who died in
Paris, Kentucky, the other day, from
an overdose of arsenic taken for the
purpose of improving her complexion,
is not the first of her sex with whom
vanity has proven a weakness stronger
than her fear Of death. In Bellefon-
tame cemetery, near st. Louis, the most
magnificent of its many splendid mon
uments stands above the remains of
one who. during her brief social career,
was the fairest woman IN that great
city. The exquisite beauty Of her skin
was matter of wonder among the
fashionable and the questionable. OF
all the mysteries of her toilet, the Sc
cret of that marvellous complexion was
the most impenetrable, and she had re-
solved to carry it with her to the grave.
One fatal night, her luxurious man
sion was thronged with the elite. As
she moved among her guests, friend
remarked that she did not look as well
as usual. In a moment or so, the hos
tess glided quickly from the room and
went up stairs. They found her, an hour
afterward, lying dead before a mirror
in her dressing-room. On the bureau
was a small jar of arsenic. The poison
told its own story. In the excitement
of the moment. she had swallowed
more than her accustomed portion, and
had paid the penalty of the blunder
with her life.

Our Nashville contemporary IS jew

This, from the representative snob
of American journalism, is of piece
with the sublime impotence which
makes the Courier Journal say: 1.-TWO
years ago, not eagerly or hastily, nor
yet on our own motion, we consented
to the abandonment of the Democratic
organization, and to-day we are ad-
vising a strict party fight under the
Democratic organization in the autumn
campaign; but we are conscious Of no
inconsistency" Since be emigratedto
Kentucky and got foothold there, the
editor Of the COurieT-JOuraal has Ell
joyed extraordinary advantages for
developing his peculiar ideas Of
consistency. He has bulied the "Bour-
bons" at one stage of the political
game, only to truckle to them at an
ether. There are few shrewder OBJ
servers, where the main chance is IN
volved, and he has played his hand ad-
mirably with the Blue Grass autocrats.
If, with the balance of the Mutual Ad-
miration Syndicate, he has had fancy
for making and unmaking parties, his
feeble imitators in this State may have
been disappointed at the results, but
that was all the harm done. When he
revamped the Nelv York Herald'S bosh
about Casarism, we all considered the
source and had our laugh. Some were
uncharitable enough to call it toadying
to Grant, but no man should be held
too strictly accountable for what hap

DEECHER,s SIN.

"But / say unto you, that whose
ever iooketh on a woman to lust after
her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart"
Such are the words of Him who
spake as never man spake- They &C.
cur in that sermon on the mount, which
the most liberal and free-thinking
Christians seem ready to accept as
basis Of doctrine and practice. And
such, when the scandal is shorn OF
three years accusations, seems to be
the extent Of Henry Ward Beecher's
offence. He sinned, not against the
seventh commandment, but against
the tenth. Both ere of equal force
with all who recognize the Decalogue.
The one is crime planned, the other
a crime executed. The one is sin OF
thought, betrayed in this instance BY
words, while the other is sin of act.
Such is the unenviable attitude In
which Mr.. Beecher appears with those
who are most disposed to think well OF
him. An decent men scout the who =
sale stories of the Woodruff. They
call on us to believe that there exists
in refined circles a widespread system
Of prostitution too incredible.
Let rs then consider it as the one
solitary lapse of the strong man. Shall
this one sin Of thought, whose accom-
plishment was partially attempted by
COUGHING it in words, blight all OF
Beecher's capacities for usefulness. Is
there 10 opening for repentance!
Shall he no more exert that
spiritual power which derived its
strength from its own cogent pres
eatatiOn. and not from any sanetity of
the utterer? The man has already re-
pented. His doctrines are as attrac-
tive, and his arguments as forcible as
ever. Yet many viii argue that he
who fell once may fall again. The
position of a pastor is a delicate one,
and the man who fills it should be pure
even in thought. Those who read
Beecber's brilliant discourses at a dis
lance are not affected. With those
under his immediate pastoral charge it
is different. Yet The latter stand by
him in his trouble.
The nice distinction between a sin of
intention and one Of act helps to ex-
plain the anomalous attitude Of the in |
jured Tilton. Why he ever breathed |
the matter to mortal man is not so easy
to understand. Surely the affronted |
wife was enough to share with him the |
burden of their humiliating secret. |
The mention of it to third party, es-
peeiaIly after freely fOrgiving the Of
fender, was piece of miserable weak
ness, for which Tilton has paid terri
bic penalty. Through one and another
that vampire, the Woodruff, got hold
of the story, and dressed it up in the
glamour of Gehenna. So the repented
sin is ont, and the innocent as well as
the forgiven and the forgiven must
suffer anguish, shame and remorse.
