BEEcHER AND GLENDENNING.

It has been authoritatively announced
that the Beecher Investigating Com
mittee will report that Beecher is not
guilty of the charges made by Tilton.
How in the world such decision could
be reached will puzzle every honest, fair
minded person. The people, however,
who set themselves up as something bet
ter than the ordinary run of folks, who
think they monopolize all the religion,
as they actually do most OF the dense
stupidity of the world, think differently.
They prefer to give credence to man
testifying in his own behalf and not on
oath. against the sworn evidence Of his
aecuser, corroborated by third and dis
interested party. Such a conclusion
outrages reason, and is an insult to COM
mon sense. The committee may be
headed by a man named Sage, but its
members are anything but wise. They
are like the silly ostrich who thrusts its
head into the ground, thinking that be-
cause it cannot see its pursuers, they are
equally blind. They may do what they
please; they may acquit; they may re-
tain Beecher; they may hold prayer
meetings and pour out floods of nause-
ating, irrelgious, sacriligious folly by
the ocean, but they never will deceive
any one-not even themselves. They
know that the evidence taken before
them, even in its one-sided, confused
form, condemned Beecher. They also
know that when they acquit Beecher,
they deliberately falsify the evil
dence of their senses, and DISC
hey the dictates of their consciences.
Turn now to Glendenning, another
erring saint. What did he do? He, like
Beecher, debauched female member of
his congregation, but, unlike Beecher.
the unhappy victim of his devilish art
died, while the unfortunate paramour of
Beecher's still lives as mockery and a
reproach. She is perhaps to be pitied
more than the wretched Miss Pomeroy.
But see the difference of the treatment
of the two preachers. One is, or will be,
acquitted, is prayed for, is made much
of, wept with, condoled with, and, in
effect, told to go and repeat his lecher-
GUS amours, because he is above all law
human and divine. The other, for no
greater crime-for both are guilty and
both do their best to lie out of the con-
sequences of their offences; the other,
We soy, is told to go, and that quickly, to
save his recreant person. That was we'll.
1t would have been we'll if he had been
much more severely delt with; but if it
be we'll in his case, why should Beecher
esape scatheless? Why, before the judg-
ment seat, should one be vested with
stripes and the other clothed with
garment Of honor, when they alike have
broken the laws Of their fellow man and
the Master, whose sacred cause they have
so traitorously betrayed.

The INDUSTRIAL FAIR.-The S. F. Call
publishes, in its issue of the 23d. very
interesting, succinct and correct account
Of the various Industrial Fairs held in
San Francisco. 1t states correctly that
the first exhibition was held in 1857.
Some of the other San Francisco papers
were not so we'll informed, and entirely
ignored the exhibition which was held in
the modest building that was erected on
the site Of the present Lick House, and
was then considered far out of town, ap-
preached by rattle-trap sidewalks and
fanked by dubious milliner shops and
questionable laundries.
