As an instance OF the undulations Of the temper
ance movement. the proceedings at Pennington,
N. H., are worthy of notice. Just before the
annual town meeting. clergyman preached fiery
temperance sermon, the inspiration OF which was
that the Town Agency sold cider to boys. The dis
course bore decided fruit for the town abolished the
Agency But this did not by any means stop dram
drinking in Pennington. One correspondent says
that at no time within the last ten years had so much
alcohol been used in the town. Everybody who
wanted it beverage imported it, while the really
sick were unable TO obtain it without great deal OF
trouble. Wherefore Pennington, again in town
meeting assembled did solennly vote TO reestablish
the Town Agency Next year it may be again abol-
ished and the year after restored. This is by no
means solitary instance of vacllation, of backing
and filing of building up only to pull down. We
are bound to say, however that all this energy and
effort are not entirely wasted Experiment keeps the
main subject and this is the important point, fresh
in the public mind. Temperance must take its
chance with the other virtues, and whoever expects

Under former administrations of the Police
complaints Of misconduct and neglect of duty
were frequent; but now many OF the charges
against officers are for actual criminal conduct
in brutally beating prisoners and like out
RACES upon the persons of citizens. There Is
hardly any question that the present discipline
of the New-York Police is worse than at any
period for many years past. just where the
blame lies it is difficult to say. But that there
should be early remedy must be apparent TO
all who read TO. days record of Police outrages.
The long farce Of the Arkansas Governor
sbip has at last been turned into a tragedy.

men were killed and large number wounded.

The Republican administration OF
affairs in Ohio, during the last 20
years that the party has held power
in the State, received high com
pliment the other day, considering
that it came from a strong opponent.
Governor Allen made speech at a
soldiers reunion at Washington
Court House, in the course of which
he said:
seThe Democrats came into power
last January after our political OPP
ponents had held control of the
State of Ohio for nearly twenty
wears, but we couldn't find, after
the most careful examination, sin
gle case of official corruption. They
had done some things that were
wrong, nothing that was corrupt.
They spent more money than a
heavily taxed people could bear, but
they didn't steal any"
Was it because the State govern
ment has been SO honestly and eco
nomicaIIy conducted, since the Con-
stitution of 1850 was adopted, that
the people of Ohio, by so large ma
jority, rejected any change in their
organic law thinking it best to let
well enough alone?

From the New York Sun.
From the New York Herald.

There was only one man who was
in position to unravel the mystery.
That man was Frank Moulton. This
man is the only real witness in the
case, and he has now told us ex-
aetly what was the offense with
which Mr.. Beecher was charged.
and to which he referred in his let
ters-it was adultry. On this point
Mr. Moulton's testimony is proof.
unless it is shown that he is unwor'
thy of belief.
Up to July 13, Mr.. Beecber wao
on the most friendly terms with Mr.
Moulton, and on that date, in a nnto nr,,
appointing an interview, signed him.
self, "Truly yours and ever" On
Aug. Is, in his statement before the
Committee, Mr.. Beecher accuses Mr.
Moulton of having been in conspir.
acy to blackmail. How can this be
explained Only upon the thporv
that Mr.. Beeeher, foreseeip,, that
Moulton's testimony must IN the end
be published, resolved as his last re-
sort to break down the witness in
advance.
Prom the Spring gSeld (Msss.) Republican.
Looking st the testimony as a
whole, it is not difficult to see that
the entire case turns upon a ques-
ton of veracity between Beecher
and Moulton, as to the confessions.
Before the public it is mainly be
tween Beecher and Moulton that YER
acity is the issue. In estimating the
credibility of these witnesses. we
may safely say that the respective
powers of recollection of the busi-
ness man and of the great preacher
will be accepted as equally sound.
As to their moral reliability, there
are two great considerations-on
the one hand, the eminent character
of Henry Ward Beecher as a man of
God, and on the other the utter alb
scence of any reason for such a STU
pendous fabrication on the part of a
man of wealth and respectibiity. If
the crime which Mr.. Beecheris oharp.
ed is improbable, the same must be
said of that which, by accepting his
denial, Is charged upon Mr.. Moul-
ton. According ss people can ac-
oept one theory or the other of the
case. their opinion will incline. Con-
victions on the subject are out ofthe
QUESTION.
