\ NEW OUTBREAK.-The following
paragraph from the North American, a
shrewd and cautious journal, deserves seri-
Gus consideration, and bears out what we
have said on various occasions as to the re-
bellious temper of the south in various
quarters
1.-The reactionaries in some of the Gull
States, not satisfied with their failure and
humiliation in the Kuklux organization,
have raised new concern called The
White League and these lodges are now
so nearly in a state of rebellion that they
have in Mississippi got possession of the
State militia, have the State arms in their
possession, and refuse te surrender them to
the authorities. 1t was this peril that in
duced the recent call of the State upon the
President for United States troops to pre-
vent riot and bleodshed at the election
which takes place August 4th.
"a similar organization in Louisiana
has taken the same steps, and in both
States the intention of the League is to take
possession of the governmental machinery
by force of arms. This is the natural re-
suit of the incendiary appeals of the re-
dictionary journals Of the south, most OF
which have left nothing undone to influence
and excite the confederates, and to gener-
ate state of feeling that might lead to
some possible usurpation of the State
governments. All the misrepresentation
in reference TO the southern Republicans
seem to have this purpose alone. In Loui-
siana and Mississippi the matter has come
to head, and will soon be settled, we
trust, by the strong arm Of the National
mower,

THE Triton AND BEECHER SCANDAL
is still going on in Brooklyn, and the de-
velopments, as the investigation gradually
progresses, as published iE the New York
papers, seem TO furnish popular reading.
The scandal is being hashed and re-hashed
until it has become disgusting to sound
morals it would have been far better for
morality had the proceedings of the inves-
tigating committee been entirely suppress
ed. The proceedings are too lengthy for
publication in detail, and if they were con-
densed we doubt the propriety of laying
them before our readers, particularly the
younger portion of them, as they are not
calcu ated to improve their standard of
morality, nor i'll any wise preserve that de-
gree of chastity which it is the duty of pa
rents TO teach their sons and daughters.
Besides, as this scandal is against the most
prominent expounder Of the gospel in Anne
rica, it is natural for persons 10 draw infe
rences derogatory to the ministry liz gene
raj which has its effect upon the unthink-
ing. The vile seize upon it to dishonor re-
ligion, and the church TO great extent
would lose its prestige. 1t cannot be con-
cealed that the conviction of Mr.. Beecher
of the offence charged against him, and his
downfall, will give skeptics and faultfnders
animation for warfare on the church.
But Mr.. Beecher is not The church nor is
the church Mr. Beecher. We utterly re-
puGiate the idea that the principles of reli
giou or the cause of christianity is bound
up with him or any other living man.
Should he be convicted the cause OF true
religion will not thereby suffer, since this
very religion condemns sin in him as well
as in every one else, and anybody who can
find occasion in this scandal to sneer at
virtue or piety, is greatly to be pitied and
dispised.
The last phase of the case is the arrest of
Tilton for libel which will now bring the
case before the court, its proper place. 1t
will there be disposed of as any other cri-
minal offence, aud the real character of the
charge will be illicited. Nothing reliable
can be obtained through an irresponsible
and perhaps partial committee.

gross earnings have fallen of, as compared
with 1873, over a million and hall, owing
to the dull times but the expenses have
been reduced nearly three millions, so that
the net earnings show an increase of 81
$50, ,422. Should the unexpired portion Of
the year present as favorable showing,
the increase for 1874 will amount to up
