NEW ROUTE TO New YoRK.-Portlaud is
soon to acquire another direct route to New
York and the West that has had but little at
tenton given to it by the press or the public
generally in this section. But few days will
elapse before the new Lowell and Andover di-
vision of the Boston and Maine Railroad win
be opened, the rails having all been laid and
the road ballas ted and "shouldered up" This
line, although but seven miles long, makes
most important connection to the b. & NJ. r.
R., and the railroads centering in Portland, as
it forms link in the chain of railroads stretch
ing across the continent.
In Lowell a branch track about a mile long
has been built at great expense to CONNECT
this new branch with the Framingham and
Lowell. which connects with the Boston and
Albany at South birmingham.
The distance from Portland to Worcester by
this new line is 152 miles, and arrangements
are being made for through trains, both freight
and passenger, over the Boston and ALBANY
Railroad. -I .4au..

The REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
NAvY.-The Secretary of the Navy, in his an
nual report will ask for about nineteen and a
half million dollars, being the same amount
that was asked for last year, but which was
cut down to about sixteen million dollars.
Ihe bureau of construction and repairs is to
have three and half millions for repairs to
naval vessels. The chief of the bureau thinks
this amount will keep good sized working
force constantly employed in the different
yards. NO new naval vessels will be asked for
oy the Secretary, to be provided for in these
estimates. 1t is not improbable, however. that
an additional sloop of war will be provided for
later in the session. In the miscellaneous an
preparation bill $4,000, 900 will be applied tn
the personnel of the navy; about $4,000 900 to
the engineer bureau, the balance of the sl9-
100000 being equally divided amone the

the past and the cultivation Of kindly feelings to-
wards each other. Now, therefore, recognizing
these considerations, l. Ulysses S. Grant, President

REECHER.TILTON.

Dispatches from New York, of the
18th instant, contain the following. SO
it seems this disgusting infliction is to
break out in a new form. Beecher
ought to be as decent as Judas. He
ought to confess his guilt and go hang
himself:
The following letter was addressed
by Tilton's attorneys to Rev. ii. W..
Beecher, Oh Monday:
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher:
SIR-We have been retained by The
odOre Tilton to commence suit against
you. Will you please indicate the at
torney who is authorized to appear in
your behalf, that we may serve papers
upon him? Yours, ETC.,
MORRIS IL PEARSALL.
To the foregoing communication,
Shearman & Sterling, attorneys OF
Beecher, this morning made the fol-
lowing reply:
Messrs. Morris 4 Pearsall:
GENTLEMEN-Understanding that
you contemplate the commencement
Of an action at law on behalf of Theo-
dore Tilton against Rev. IL w. Beech
er, we beg to inform you that we are
authorized to appear for Mr.. Beecher
in all legal proceedings, and that we
request, in his name, immediate SER
vice of papers upon us, either at our
office, or if service can be made before
II A. NJ, at No. 81 Hicks street, Brook
lyn. Your obedient servants,

ONE BY ONE THEY FALL.

The march of improvement is no
respecter Of localities. Old homes fall
to make room for business houses and
soon all is changed. So we thought in
seeing the workmen tearing down
Burford's former residence on Main
street, the same in which he began
housekeeping when first married and
where all his children were born up to
Il year or so ago, when it was sold.
Under that hospitable roof within
the last score of years have slept as
guests Houston, Rusk, Wigfall, De-
Morse, VIM. c. Young Ochiltree, John
i. Cravens, John Fl. Reagan, G. A.
Everett, DR.. Francis Moore, jr., Gen.
Tarrant, Judge Baylor, Governor Muir
rah, the old hero, Gen. Jubal A. Early,
NJ. d. Graham, Judge Vantress, Bish-
op Paine, of the Methodist church,
Bishop Gregg, Reuben A. Reeves and
others whose names have been honor
ed. OF the above nineteen, eleven are
deceased. Such changes must needs
come, but they nevertheless touch the
tender chords of our nature, keenly so
when brought home to the mother
whose children have beeh born and
have gone to the angels in that now
dismantled home.

meeting, and Dallas is the place. We
hope that there will be a full represent
tation of all the press of the state.
Great good can be accomplished by n
meeting of the publishers and editors
of the state, independent of the more
pleasant social relations that will be
established. IL is contemplated to join
i'm an excursion when the business of
the convention is concluded, and ar
rangements looking to that end are
now being made.
This meeting ought and probably
will bring to Dallas one hundred and
fifty or two hundred strangers, all of
whom are accustomed to handling the
pen. 1t will be apparent, therefore, to
the business men of the city that it
behooves us to make u favorable inn
preston on these our expected guests.
No similar occasion has ever appealed
in vain to the liberality of the people
Of Dallas. We feel confident that that
liberality will be once more extended,
to enable the press of the city to enter
tain their brethren of the state in a
becoming manner.

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

An article has been going the rounds
of the southern press purporting to be
an extract from sermon delivered by
Henry Ward Beecher soon after the
close of hostilities in 1865, in which he
demanded the execution of President
Davis. Mr.. Beecher addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Courier-Journal,
denying the genuineness of the article;
BROOKLYN, N. ", August Is, 1874.
have received copy of the Mont
gomery Ala News, containing an
article by Colonel Robert Tyler, upon
an alleged speech of mine, concerning
Jefferson Davis. That speech is for
gerry. Not only did never utter or
write such miserable stuff, but, the
whole world knows that while many
were clamOring for some sacrifice or
victim, | everywhere and always OPP
posed, with intense earnestness, the
shedding of drop of blood, and resist
ed, with all my might, the Influences
which sought the execution of Jeffer-
son Davis. 1t is not the first shameful
forgery upon me that has been circu-
lated in the south and west. am so
heartily desirous of the re-establish-
ment of good will between all who
have been alienated, and j so much
value the good will of my fellow-citi-
zens of the south, that i step aside
from my usual course and make a re-
ply to this slander. am, very truly,
yours, HENRY WARD BEECHER.

The Houston Telegraph gives the fol-
lowing as the finale of the above case !:
The first thing of interest in this
court, yesterday, was the rendering of
the verdict in the case of the State VS..
Noland, on the charge of seduction.
The jury found the defendant guilty as
charged, and assessed the punishment
at two years Gentlemen. ent in the state
prison. Shortly after the verdict was
rendered the defendant proposed to the
young woman who brought the charge
against him-Miss Lizzie Roper-to
marry her, which proposition she uI-
hesilalingiy accepted, ana AT IL NJ. they
were quietly married. When the fact
was made known to Judge Cook he
intimated that as matter OF grace he
would grant new trial, whereupun the
motion for new trial was filed and
will be acted upon this morning. Under
the law, marriage, or bona lidc offer
of marriage, made by defendant in Il
case of seduction at any time before II
verdict is rendered is an estnpprl TO
farther proceedings as "A matteroi right,
but after a verdict of conviction il
avails nothing as matter oi right, or
legal bar to the execution of the ver-
dict, and is not even matter of dis
cretion with the court, but IT'S a mat
ter of grace the court grants new trial
in this instance, that the marriage may
be pleaded in bar when the case comes
up for rc-trial. Thus the matter ends,
and calls well that ends WELL"

Death of .no,her Old Texan.

Major Henry w. Augustin, an old
citizen, patriot and public servant of
Texas died on the sixth instant, at his
residence in Polk county, Texas.
He was born in Fairfield district,
South Carolina, in the spring of lSo5.
He grew up and was married in that
state. He came to Texas in the fall OF
1879. and Immediately took leading
place in the society and councils of the
country. He represented the munci-
pality of San Augustine in the consult
alton which assembled in San Felipe
in 1895, and participated in the move
ment which inaugurated the revolution
which resulted in the independence of
Texas in 1886.
He was offered the place of secretary
of war in the young republic, but de-
clined the honor. He held the office
of captain in the army of Texas.
In the Cherokee war of 1888, he held
the Office of major. In the bloody
battle in which the CherOkees were
defeated aud expelled from Texas, he
received n wound which crippled him
for life, the amputation of the leg bav-
ing been necessary to prevent a fatal
issue. He enjoyed the high confidence,
respect aud esteem of all who knew
him, and his influence was always eS-
erte,l for the best Interests of the eous-
munity in which be lived Galveston
