MOULT0N',S STATEMENT.

The leading New York daiiies agree that
Mouton's statement adds nothing material to
what was before known of the Beecher scan
dal. The Tribune says:
Mr.. Francis ID. Moulton has at last given
to the public the statement which he refused
to give the Committee 1t is the product Of
long labor and consultation with lawyers, and
it is put forth with an air of soemnity which
seems to por.end ruin and desolation. What
might have been its effect had 1t appeared a
month ago we will not stop TO conjecture; but
coming so late, and under circumstances so
gravely suspicious, it will require very
cautious examination. Certainly it is very
far from jastifying the fears of Mr.. Beecher's
friends or the exultant prophesies of his enc
mics. The witness who was supposed to hold
the key of the situation leaves the posture of
affairs substantially unchanged. Those who
believed in Mr.. Beecher's innocence before
will before will believe in it.still. Those who
waited for further developments must be con-
tent to wait a while longer. 1t is evident that
the assaiants discharged their worst missiles
at the opening of the engagement Mr.. Moul-
ton cites very few additional documents of any
Importance, and none that are half so dam
aging on their face as the letters already pub
lished.
The Times says:
Mr. Frank Moulton has prepared estate
ment" on the BeecherTilton affair. 1t pro-
longs a controversy of which we hope the
public is becoming as tired as we have long
been and as we cannot see that it throws any
light on the dismal affair to which it relates,
we, for our part, refuse to publish it, We
must, however, make room for several letters
which Moulton produces. We may add that
we have never surrendered our space so I'M
willingly to any controversy as to this intol-
cradle Brooklyn nuisance, and we should be
only too glad if we never felt ourselves
obliged to mention it again in these columns.
The World reviews the statement at length
and concludes its article as follows:
All Mr.. Beecher's and Mrs. Tilton's letters
now made public go to prove that Tilton and
Moulton fired every shot in their common
locker in the first Tilton indictment. which.
indeed, by its garbling and its omissions, was
more damaging than the whole letters and
documents since published prove to be. Not

tmony has been brought forth by Moulton

TRUTH FROM A DEMOCRATIC
SOTRCE.

Democratic papers of the character OF
the Maine Standard ding dirt upon those
who mention and deprecate the troubles
| in the South between the whites and
blacks. They convey the idea that the re-
ports of outrages upon the blacks are
made to order for election purposes,
that the whites are innocent of any wrongs
or evil designs upon the negroes, and
need sympathy and support more than the
colored people. The Boston Herald, how
ever, though democratic in sentiment, has
honesty enough to speak OF the situation
in the South as it is. We commend the
following editorial in its issue of the 22nd
to the attention of the public. 1t is can
did statement of facts, and is a sharp re-
buke to those papers like the Standard
that would encourage a bloody war ofraces
in the South if thereby the republican par
ty could be defeated. The Herald says;
The condition of affairs in some ofthe South
ern States is hardly more assuring at present
than it was at the close of the rebellion. The
years which have elapsed since the surrender
of Lee apparently have contributed little
toward reconciling the antagonistic races
which inhabit that section, and to-day the
whites Of that sunny region are striving for
domination over the blacks as Of old. The
methods by which they are doing this are va
rious, and, of course, are scarcely compre-
hended in the North. But even here it is APP
parent that there is a sort Of mutual under
standing if not systematic plan for depres-
sing the blacks by denying them the advan-
tages of education, and through terrorism
driving them from the ballot box. All this
time, North and South, the people are mar
yelling at the disorders which are continually
breaking out in Southern territory. Yet there
is nothing to marvel at 1t is the natural re-
suit of the course pursued, and if the method
is continuously followed for any length of
time, it is sure to terminate in anarchy. If
we prescribe the colored race politically, we
cannot escape trouble. We must either ele
vate OF exterminate it. We cannot deny it
school privileges, we cannot keep it from the
polls, we cannot teach it to despise itself and
have peace. The negro must have civil
rights, or the South will be as turbulent as
England finds Ireland to-day.

Woolwich When finished, this monster
piece of ordnance will be greater than twice
the size of the largest gun in existence, and
its destructive powers at fighting range pro-
portionate. With sixteen inch projectile,
weighing 1850 pounds, and its maximum
charge of 500 pounds of powder, it will pierce
iron plates, twenty inches thick at 500 yards,
sixteen inches plate at $500 yards, and will
pitch sixteen inch shell into ship or for
tress at a distance of 10, 300 yards. The steel
block forming the inner tube was the largest
ever cast, weighing over twelve tons; while
the trunnion piece, about eighteen tons, was
the largest ever produced at the arsenal.
The actual cost of this fearful engine of war
will not fail far short of $4,000.

that time he has not lost single day. By

records will show, at least 400 days of active
service for every year, and received compen-
sation therefor. In one month he made forty
eight days of labor. During all this period
he has been reader of books and of the Jour
mails of the day, taking an active part in poll

FRUITS OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.
August 10, 1874,

Kentucky has long been completely I'M
der the rule of the democratic party. There
democracy has had unlimited control of
the internal affairs of the State, its major
tiles overbearing all opposition. In Ken
lucky therefore we are able to find the
fruits which democracy brings forth in
these latter days. If it be what its friends
claim it to be then Kentucky ought to be
well-governed, prosperous State, where
the laws are just and the people protected
In all the rights that belong to them. In
stead of that. however, if we can trust the
evidence Of its leading journals, Kentucky
is overrun with lawlessness and murder
and pillage are committed with impunity.
The worst pictured evils of negro-domina-
ton do not exceed the reality found in
Kentucky under a white mans" gov
eminent, democratic at that and, of a stand
ing ancient and steadily continued To
show the state of things which exist there
we quote the following from the columns
Of the Louisville Courier-Journal
1.-THE Law against the carrying Of concealed
weapons is a dead letter. Every coward and
bally goes armed. Every case of man.
slaughter goes unpublished. Every case Of
shooting with intent to kill passes by as an
amusing episode, provided there is no funeral
Even the most atrocious, cold blooded, de-
liberate, malignant, dastardly assassinations
have left no mark on the statute books except
the mark of acquittals purchased by money or
intimidation. Red handed murderers roam
At large among respectable people. Red
handed murderers occupy places of RESPONSE
bility and trust. -" There are at this mo-
ment fifty cases of homicide on our criminal
docket, which ought to be recorded as muir
der cases, where the defendant is at large on
bail, with the least possible danger of an ad-
verse result. There are five hundred cases of
petty shooting, with intent to kill, which
will never come to trial. = y In a work,
there is no security for life, because no law
for those who take it, in Kentucky, and has
not been this many year."
This is a sample of the government
which follows the democratic party where
1t gains the power. Those who think a
party with such results where its princl-
pies have full sway can be trusted as a
"reform party peoples party" can
look at Kentucky and judge for them
selves oil the merits of the democratic par
ty. Who wonders that Kentucky is
called "the dark and bloody ground" on
that treason invaded the national capital
while democratic President sat in the
Executive chairP The people have moi
forgotten lis sins.

POLITICAL.

The Salem Gazette remarks that affairs in
the Sixth Congressional District are in as
loose condition as possible, so far as the next
Republican candidate is concerned. 1t is the
common impression that Butler will run again,
and in that case the Gazette thinks "a good
fight could be made, provided his opponents
could unite on any Republican against him."
The prominent names mentioned in this con-
nection are Mr.. Phillips, DIR. Loring and Gen.
Cogswell. of whom the Gazette considers Mr.
Phillips the most appropriate man, though it
speaks well of the other two. What is abso-
lately needed in the district, it says, sis more
of that spirit which is willing to sacrifice
something to defeat a man whom majority
of the party would be quite willing to defeat

Forty-second Congress, and gained a nation
