M TiIton's statement has produced an
effect in New York out Of all proportion

pers admit that It weaves about Mr..
Beecher a web of circumstsntial eVi-
dence which is almost ifnot quiie un-
broken. alED

Boston newspapers have information
that Judge E. R. Hoar, has written q
second letter in which be declines a re-
nomin alton 10 Congress. We are presu-

Toombs is at It agaia. Within the past
ten days he has made twopubiio speeches
snd been the hero of a newspaper inter-
view. Asususl, he'hss poured outs tor
rentof bitter inyectiFe. The President,
the Union and the Capital of his own
State even, shared his violent dsnuncia-
tions. The murderous outrages in New
Orleans be made his opportunity. ~
Bishop Cummins, of the Ref rmed
Episcopal Church, preached in the Firsi
Presbyterian Church of Bingamton, N. Y.
on Sunday evening last. The congrega-
tion was very large. No services were held
in the Presbyterian, Congregational, or
BAPTIST Churches, SO that the people
might have an opportunity to hear the
Bishop. - ggH
To most things earthly there seems tc
be possibility of exhaustion, but to the
gall of the editor of an independent jour.
nal of the Greeley style, there is no such
thing as exhaustion. Bitter acfimony
and censOriousness of every one outside o.
his pale who happens TO hold public
trust, seems to be the object of his mis-
sion. No man is pure enough. to escape,
and few indeed are those who are ever
credifsd with worthy act or motive.

Mr. BECKER wrote to his friends in
Brooklyn last week that he would take
charge of the Friday evening prayer
meeting in his church Oct 2, and occupy
Plymouth pulpit the following Sunday
This pr1gFamme was arranged before
the publication Of Tilton's last statement.
In view of all the circumstances of the
case, one would think Mr.. Beecher could
afford TO prolOng his vacation beyond the
date originally fixed, and Plymouth
Church could as easily afford to have
