EVAHTS IN THE BEECHEE
CASE.
The Greatest Lawyer DefendinG
The Greatest Preacher.

In New York politics have nothing
to do with the Beecher case. The New
York World, the leading Democratic
paper of the country, and many other
papers of the same creed, do not be-
lieVe Beecher guilty. 1t says OF Mi.
Evarts' opening speech;
He is keen and fine to the utmost
degree of refinement. Nothing in the
court room, except he self-respect of
the jury, is at all fit to compare with
the wisdom dried away in Mr.. Evarts'
face. He is in peace a thin SphyuX
infinitely older than the plump one,
and nettled over with wrinkles accor-

.lFFoE MOI to PAY 1t,

In briefly Discussing, 4 few days
ago, one aspect II the Public deOt
question, We said &:
Nobody denies tiaL the dehi ex-
ISIS and wgs legally and honorably
contracted before tie war, but the
great and absorbing question for soiu-
ton now is; hotg Is IL to BE- paid! ~
The Charlottesville ,fcferSoaiun re-
plics to this as follows
This is true, and we call upon the
Netrs to give us his views upon this
grcat and Asserting cueat;Qn. The
Ncirs has put the GiiestiCn in the
hight shape, and we hope il VIII all
swer ms, and net that other question;
Hote not to poy it.
We can readily answer both Of these
questions. and prefer to do 50, for the
,JcHeJSOni0lI cannot answer the one
How to pay the debt :" and is afraid
to answer the others how not 10 pay
IT," -.
Isl. To Day the dcJt. we must elect a
legislature which will have the moral
courage to double the taxes of the peO-
Pile or to present an honest exhibit OF
our resources TO our creditors and say
to them we can pay you only
so much of this debt, and are willing
to do so promptly without any evasion
or falsehOod. No legislature can be
elected which will dare to levy the
| necessary taxes, and therefore, 1t will
! have to either propose and effect fair
compromise as a permanent settle
ment, or continue, as heretofore, un-
| der the fraudulent funding bill, TO de.
/ Law payment indefinitely under fa!5'
| promises and pretences. This as Tx
o,aIy aUay to pay the debt, and all talk
| about any other way is simply false
/ hood and deception whether so inten
! ded or not But
ID. How not to pay The debt, is {
question which has only one side to it
! and Of course admits of only one sOlu
! ton, and that is TO cling 10 the fund
! ina bill! That's the way how mot
to paw that debt. 1t is The way main
tanned by the JcfcrSOaj1n and all thu
! flinders. They have absolutely repu
dated one-third ($l5, 0O0,000) of th'
debt by unnegOtiable bonds on IVES
/ Virginia. They have never funded
but two-thirds $3.50. coo GOO of the 9th
er two-thirds $50 900, 000) and on thi
they have never paid mere than abou
two per cent. interest. In the mean
time the State is running in debt n
the rate of more than one T3l5!ijOn o
dollars of accommodating interest ever,
year. so that, in ten years, the deb
will have swallowed to the enormous
sum of siTty instead offffy millions o
dollars as it now stands
This, we repeat, is the mode b.
which the funding bill is demonstra
ting to a credulous world chow not t,
the public debit but how vastly t
increase it year after year by false pre-
fences and promises. 1t is plan tina
finds q parallel only in the brillian
financial career of the once celebrated
statesman, BEAU HICKMAN, who live
long and luxurious life and die
like a gentleman exclusively upon hi
"hOnor and credit which he preserv
ed with tenaeity to the day of hi
death. His pluck and audacity wer
invincible.
The flinders will live and die in th
same wagon boosted "hOnor en-
credit" without q dollar in the treas
ury.

THE Republican State Convention was
particularly fortunate in its selection of
representatives of the German and Sean
dinavian nationalities. OF Mr.. Betz it
is scarcely necessary to speak He en-
joys that kind of popularity which is
founded upon a career of integrity and
fidelity TO all the trusts that have been
committed to him and his performance
of the duties of the office for which he
is now again nominated, was especially
satisfactory to the people. Mr.. Warner,
the candidate for secretary of state, was
personally known to very few of the del
egates. He was nominated because it
was thought that the Scandinavian Re-
pubhcans of Wisconsin were entitled to
recognition, because he came from a
section of the State that had a right to
claim place on the ticket, and because
he was endorsed by those who knew him
as man of unqueshonable qualifica-
tons. If there were any misgivings On
this subject, they disappeared when Mr..
Warner cane before the Convention, a
modest, intelligent and self possessed
gentleman, and accepted the nomination
in a few plain and sensible remarks. He
has lived in this country since his
infancy, was brave soldier In the war.
and had an experience of the hospitals
ties of Libby Prison. He speaks the
Norwegian language huently, and the
satisfaction of his fellow cuntrymen at
his selection can not fail to be general

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
| lican State Convention, at Madison, IS
on the whole an excellent one. 1t is
clear and explicit on all questions before
the people, and it Is on the right side of
| those questions 1t declares in favor of
the preservation of the Union and the
respective rights of the general and state
governments unimpaired; the preserva
ton of our public school system untram-
meled by any diversion of the school
fund from its legitimate purpose; favors
the present efforts of the administration
to collect the revenue and prevent and
punish frauds. 1t endorses the doctrine
of legislative control over all corporations
| chartered by the state, far s.s that
control is used for the purpose of pro-
tecting the rights of the people without
doing injustice to the corporations and
those who have their money invested
therein. This course, we believe, will
commend itself to all thinking persons,
as it is manifestly in opposition to the
policy of dealing with railroad corpora
tions inaugurated by the Democratic adj
nlini5tration that was elected two years
ago, and which has done 50 much to in
jure the material interests of the state.
The utterance on the currency ques-
ton is equally explicit and in the right
direction. 1t is in favor of an early re-
turn to specie payments, by continuous
steps in that direction-that is, policy
looking to specie resumption to be
steadily and persistently pursued with
out intermission until the object is at
tanned. This is what the State and the
whole country needs to revive business
aad place it on a firm foundation.
There VIII be no lasting prosperity until
the country pays its debts in money, rs
individuals are required to do and the
party that adopts this policy and steadily
and unequivocally adheres to it is the
party that Will ultimately, if not now,
control the government of the country,
and gain a name worthy to be preserved
in history by the side of that of the par
ty that saved the nation from disunion
and wiped out the stain of slavery The
Republican party unquestionably bears
the last name, and we believe that it is
destined to win the other also.
On the subject of temperance there is
a profound truth uttered, namely:
'fthat true education and sound morals
'are the best agencies for promoting
"the laudable cause of temperance.
Let public sentiment emphatically con-
denim incompetence and there will be
no Leeu OF pfol1Dluary laws; and pubic
sentiment on this subject can be formed
at home, in the school, in the church,
and in the social circle. Such senti-
ment once formed and kept alive will be
stronger than the most proscrptive
laws.
These are the leading points of the
platform, and with good ticket stand
ing upon it, q ticket which even the OPP
posing party is compelled to admit is a
strong ole, there should be complete
victory for the Republican party this
fall. Such victory will be for the best
interests of the State, and therefore is
worthy the aid of every good citizen.-

GEN. FRANK p. BLAIR, Jr., died at
half-past II o'clock last Thursday night.
Although the General had been sick q
long time, without any hope of recovery,
his death was sudden and at the Tune
unexpected.
FRIDAY morning Michael Doris,
who had been put in jail for beating his
wife in drunken spree, was found
hanging by his handkerchief in his
cell, in Madison, dead. He had previous
ly shown an inclination to suicide.

mously to raise Beecher's salary to 800,
900. 90 year. They want TO show the
world that she is ready to spend millions
for the defense OF their pastor if neces-
sary.
Mr.. BEECHER is now on his farm at
Peekskill, from which he will soon retire
to the White Mountains, where he will
remain until the coming of Fall calls him
back to Brooklyn and Plymouth Church.

over by Gen Spinner to his successor,
Mr.. New, no discrepancy is discovered
among the millions stored away, except

stolen few weeks ago,
PLYMOUTH CHURCH has increased Mr..
Beecher's salarap for the current year to
500, 900, making an addition of $50, 900
to his usual pay. This addition is made
expressly to cover his expenses in the
scandal suit, and may therefore be ac-
cepted as q semi-oficial announcement
of what those expenses have been. The
