BEECHER-TILTON.
Once more, please. | must give you the
drift of opinion here concerning this BrOb-
cuse. At this time the tide is setting
strongly against Theodore, and $50 tickle is
public opinion) were the verdict to be made
up to-day it would be terribly against him,
Beechcr's statement has been read and re-
read, and the wonderful adroitness with
which he makes his case, and the magnifi-
cent style of his defence, have had their
proper effect. Half the people to-day will
say that Bcccher has acted fOolishly, not
criminally; that TiltOn is either a mono
maniac or a designing william; that Eliza
beth, his wife, is pure and much-abused
woman that Moulton is 4 cold, black
hearted blackmailer, and so forth and so
on.
But in the meantime Tilton's lawyers are
ready to commence suit against Beecher
for seduction, and the facts in the case will
be made public, and curiosity will be salts
fled. People whose interest it is not to
testify, and who cannot be compelled to
testify before church committee, will find
it quite different when hauled up before a
court of justice and put upon their oaths.
Wait, good people, wait. Theodore sticks
close to his house, and refuses to answer
any questions. He is, he says, biding his

CLERICAL SCANDALS,
the worst one has recently come to light in
Jersey City, very popular clergyman
named Glendenning being the alleged cause.
A beautiful girl named Mary Pomeroy, an
orphan, residing with her cousin, was en-
gagged to be married to Glendenning, who
was her pastor. Some weeks ago she con-
fessed to her aunt that she was about to
become mother, and after long entreaty

Mr.. BEECHER, in 1856, preached SER
mon upon the subject Of seducers, and af-
ter an eloquent peroration, said : when l
see such things as these, L thank God that
there is a Judgment, and that there is a
HE'LL To-day the guilt or innocence of
Beechcr, charged with the crime of seduc-
tion, hinges upon the truth of Moulton's
statement, which if true convicts him. If
the statement Of Moulton is unreliable,
then the matter rests upon letters published
which Beecher has not yet explained salts
factorily. The Plymouth church investi-
CATION produced nothing but case of scan
dal, fulsome and demOralizing in its de-
tails, and damaging to the character of the
eminent parsOn, to the extent OF having
committed a great offence against Gods
law and that of human society. The pub
Tcation of the facts may have been neces-
sary to newspapers as disseminators OF
news, but we have adhered TO our determl-
nation to avoid the publication Of the de-
tails of the investigation of Gaze fraught
with so much mischief to morality, inVolv-
ing the characters Of those who had here
tofore been looked upon as the paragons of
piery, and who furnished the GOspel-tood
of millions throughout America. But the
case will soon be legally adjudicated before
court of justice where it belongs. We
trust that after it has been decided, society
will be gamer no matter against whom the
decision NAV fall.

HYDROPHOBIA.-On Monday morning,
a little girl named Maggie Jones, four years
old, daughter of Philip Jones, of Hyde
Park, died in the most horrible agony, OF
hydiophobia. Last June, Maggie was
bitten by a large Newfoundland dog with
which she was playing. In the course OF
the frolic she was bitten on the nose, and
the wound being but very slight one, ra-
pidly healed and the circumstance was soon
forgotten by all, except the mother, who
insisted that the dog should be killed. She
was informed that the dog had been dis
patched shortly after he had bitten the
child. This appeared to quiet her. Mag
gle became cheerful and played about as
usual. On Sunday morning she accom-
panied her parents to camp-meeting at Dal-
ton, and upon returning she was attacked
by slight choking sensation which the
parents thought was Group. A physician
was summoned who soon discovered that
the little one was the victim of hydropho-
bia. Quite a number of medical gentlemen
examined the case, but nothing could be
done for the su tlerer, who fingered in the
most intense agony until she died. This
is the fifth death from the dreadful disease
which has happened within years in

SJTMiD.
SOTrTU BEND. Ind. Aug. "a.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. "A.
At half past four O'Clock this morning
fire was discovered in the paint rooms of
the Mammoth Wagon Mandatory OF
Studebacker Brothers, resulting in loss
Of $500. 900. These works were erected
Immediately after the burning Of their
smaller shops On June II, 1872.
The flames spread rapidly, and, owing
to the great size of the buildings, the fire
department was unable to get the fire un-
der immediate control. The fremen finally
turned their attention to the place where
the buildings joined one erected four years
ago, and here stopped the fire. The latter
! contained the greater portion OF the ma
chinery, which were all removed and saved
from damage by water.
! The heat was 50 intense that the Lake
! Shore and Michigan Southern freight and
and passenger depots were in emminent
danger. Trains were delayed for some
| four hours Owing to the absence OF wind
the flames were prevented from spreading
to buildings in the immediate vicinity.
! The works contained over 200 finished
wagons, besides vast quantities Of stock in
process of manufacture.
The loss in detail, as near as can be
estimated, ls-On building, S12O,OOO; on
| stock in process of manufacture, $50, ,OCO ;
on finished wagons, 500, 1000; Oh machi-
merry, S15O,0O0; on iron and fixtures, Sl5-
600. Total, 100000.
The property was insured as follows /;
The National Company, of Philadelphia,
| $500; Farmers Mutual, of New Y York,
$500; Peoples, of Philadelphia COlum-
bin. of Columbia; German, of Erie; Lam
caster, Of Lancaster; Sunbury, Of Sun-
blry; Safeguard, of Philadelphia Union,
Of Jersey City Citizens, Of Newark, and
Franklin, of Jersey City, each $500
Pennsylvania, of Philadelphia, $4,000
! Girard, of Philadelphia, 81 800; Millville,
! Of Alilvillc and Germania, of New York,
each s., 600; Westchester, of New Roch-
ellie, n. Y, 81, 800; Home, Of Galveston,
Texas, $500 Fairfield County, of South
Norwalk, Conn, $500; Liverpool, Lon
don and Globe, 81 800; S7S, $50 in western
companies.
Several other companies are believed tc
be involved, but the amounts are not yet
entered up and cannot be given at present
owing to the confusion.
The theory of the cause of the fire is
spontaneous combustion, though some per
sons aver that it was the work of an incen
diary. The Studebaker company employed
in their shops upwards Of 300 hands who
are thrown out of employment temporarily
The carriage works of the same company
are situated in another part of the city anC
are all right y call has been issued for {
meeting this evening for an expression o
public sympathy for the sufferers by thC
disaster.

The Republican Convention on the 18th,
was the largest in size Of any ever held in
the State. 1t was composed of two hun
dred and fifty members, each Of the fifty
senatorial districts in the State being re-
presented by one member, and two hun
dred representative delegates. The NOM
nations then made, we are happy TO learn,
receive the hearty approval of every sound
Republican in the State. The size of the
convention was such as TO render il almost
unwieldy in its proportions and yet the
best order and good feeling prevailed dur
inr the entire session. The friends Of the
numerous candidates were earnest in the
interest of their several favorites, and yet
when the nomination had been made, and
the strength of the aspirants tested by vote,
the decision of the convention was accepted
in good faith, and the friends of the defeat
ed candidates were the first to move the
unanimous endorsement of tie whole con-
vention. Never was there State ticket
put n the field which gave such entire sat
isfaction as the one nominated, and received
such a unanimous endorsement by the
press. The men who have been nominated
for the different offices are honest and faith
fnl old public servants who have been tested
either on the bench, in our Legislative de
Uberations, or in front of the battle for the
Ife of the nation, and always found true as
steel to the great principles which they re-
present. We are pleased TO notice the enthu-
siasm with which the resolutions are re-
ceived by the people. The endorsement OF
Gov. Hartranft as the choice of this State
for President, is a fitting rebuke to the party
who so unjustly maligned and traduced him
when a candidate for Governor. With such
4 ticket as was nominated backed by a
popular platform that is acceptable to all,
there is no doubt of success at the polls by
a majority that will convince our Demo
cratic contemporaries, that the revolution
has not struck the keystone State this year,
and that display Of sickly roosters will
not be in demand.

THE Lebanon Courier, in speaking ol
the controversy for chairman of the RepGb-
lican Convention at Harrisburg last week,
pays the following high tribute to Col.
j. y. 5. Goblin, former citizen oi this
place. 1t says:
Col. Goblin represented this district on
the committee to report permanent officers.
There was a warm contest over the presl-
dency of the convention. Col. Gobln made
a speech which is highly spoken of, o2pos-
ing the selection of Mr.. Rutan or the
ground that he had taken pay from the
State TO visit Vienna, Mr.. Rutan being one
of the three commissioners for whom a
State appropriation Of $4,000 each was
made TO attend at the worlds exposition.
| Col. Goblin is TO be commended for his
earnest protest against any endorsement OF
Mr.. Rutan, as the matter then stood, Dut
it is Just 10 Mr.. Rutan that it should De
stated that he declined to take the moley
apprupriated and bore his own eXpenS's.
Had this fact been generally known at he
meeting Of the committee the opposition c
his selection would not have been made.
/ 1t is creditable, however, to the Republican
party that its disposition is to put It's na,F
of displeasure upon any movement ina
wears even suspicion of improperly tax
ing money out of the State Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %.
Colonel Adair, of the Cherokee Nation,
arrived here to-day in the interests of the
Usage Indians, and had 4 long interview
with the Commissioner on Indian Affairs.
He is direct from the Usage Nation, ard
says the fears Of hostilities by the Osages
against Kansas, as recently expressed by
the Governor of that State in a telegram to
President Grant, are groundless, nor is it
true that those Indians have recently, in
council, declared war
Adair relates that the Osages are the ag-
gricved party about twenty of them were
or buffalo hunt west of the Arkansas
river, and Oh their return they saw in the
distance several hundred soldiers, when
two Indians were dispatched to ascertain
the reason for the appearance Of the troops.
These Indians were captured, and there
fore not returning to their friends, four
more we're sent forward to learn what had
become of their companions, and they too
were captured, together with four more
who hal been sent on Il similar errand ;
thus op-half of the hunting party fell into
the hands of the troops. The other In
dians we're beckoned away by the captives,
four of whom were killed, but Colonel
Adair Goes not know The particulars of the
tragedy or the causes which led to it.
In reply to the request of the Governor
of Kansas for arms and ammunition to be
used in defending the southern border OF
Usage Indians, the Secretary of War states
inview of the fact that the State was fur
nished in July last with 800 carbines and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition, on which ac-
count the State is still indebted to the gen.
eral government, he does not feel authorized
to grant the request.
