Journals of Brooklyn and New York comment ed
toriay on the result. The Eagle, which glories
in having served tho defendant, and having
been instrumental in Keeping home sentiment
firm in its pride and faith in him, believes the
disagreement falls little at all, short Of COM
plete exoneration Tho editor says even the
most malignant and virulent will hardly now dare
TO charge that "the influence OF Plymouth
Church" oyershadowed the jury-room. The
Grdphic holds that ''the failure of tho jury
to tlnd Beecher innocent leaves him I'M
der shadow which will hardly grow
any lighter with tho lapse OF years. Whether
Justly or unjustly, the term of his usefulness as
a minister of the Gospel is ended, and for him
to persist in preaching with the present cloud
resting upon him is n violation OF good taste, Of
which he himself must before very long become
painfully aware" The Mail looks at it in an al
together different light, accepting it as a sub
stantial acquttal, and affirming that it will be 30
regarded by those who have held firmly to their
convictions of the Plymouth pastors innocence.
The Express finds in it moral acquitta and
thinks it ought to have been complete in form.
The Commercial Advertiser says " Standing as
report says, nine to three for MIR. Beecher, it rs
a substantial triumph for tho Plymouth pastor.
The Brooklyn Eagle reports that at one time
on last Saturday, the three Tilton jurors had
yielded to tho arguments Of the nine on the 9TH
or side, and had agreed to scaled verdict for
the defendant Had they been then summoned
that would have been their verdict. Some were
in favor Of going into Court at once, but unfor-
tunately for Mr. Beecher, it WAS determined that
they should delay their return to the courtroom
until o'clock that evening, when they would
hand To the presiding Judge sealed verdict. At
this moment of supreme Importance one or the
Beecher men made an indiscreet remark, which
though in nowise affecting the evidence in the
the case, occasoned fiuttor OF undue excite
ment and had the effect OF alternating the minor
ity from the majority, and the three for the
plaintiff resumed their original ground and ro-
fused to hold any further discussion on the
ouegtiOu.

The National Orange.

The resolution of the Natonal
Grange in favor of subsidy for the
Texas and Pacific Railroad has been
received with surprise, regret, and
unfayorable comments throughout the
States of the northwest. The farmers
in Indiana and Illinois, and thence
northwest, are undoubtedly opposed
To Congressional subsidies. This IS
an indication that the Grange move
ment while it may be managed as a
State institution benefcially to farm
ers ia inefficient as a national organi-
zation, and will not in all probability
harmonize the conflicting interests OF
States. The resolution alluded to
places the Oranges of the northwest
In direct opposition to the farmers OF
the Southern States on the question OF
subsidies. The latter were strong
enough in the National Grange to
override the northwest, and pass a
resolution the opposite Of the opinion
held by farmers in the great States oil
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa
etc. but it can not change their con
yictions that subsidies of all kind.
are pernicious. There is another ant
a greater difference in the character
of farmers in the two sections. III

iusoxicat on, Is mot very proper per-
SON to bring into court on such case
An illustration is given In the trial
of This case. and in the statements
that have preceded it, of the change
ablcness Of public sentiment. W hen
Tiiton's story was FIRST told, cry M
meaiately went up that Mr.. Beecher
vas guilty. there could be no question
about it: nearly all the newspapers
Joined in saving so. Then came the
calm story Of the Brookln pastor, the
Indignant and fearful recital OF Mrs
Tilton, Mr.. Beechers unanimous ae-
auittal at the hands OF his ehureh
committee. and the plaudits OF the
thousands gathered in Plymouth

was turned. and Tiiton.- Mouiton,
Woodruff, and the rest of the accusers
wen, down. Then came = rest. Inc
defense was partly forgotten 1he
case came up in court. Able lawyers.
skilled in their work prosecuted the
case for Tiltou His story and the
story Of the others were repeated,
supported by such new facts favoring
that side as could be obtained. The
same effect, though perhaps IN a lesser
degree, has been manifested The
editor reads the proceedings and flies
to saw that it is all settled, and there
can be no doubt of Beeeher guilt.
Then he waits and reads the next
DAYS proceedings and repeats the
same performance. All of which
proyes that some editors arc very liable
to make egregious Ounces of them
selves. The fair mind will hear both
sides before declaring, especially In
this semi official way, the guilt OF
person: fur whatever the apparent
strength of the evidence. there may be
testimony behind which will rebut It.
a man should be considered innocent
until he is proven guilty: and he is
not proven guilty until the evidence
Is in and the case ended. We expect

just what Booth thought when
he was maturing his plans for the
assassination of President Lincoln.
The Attakapas Louisiana Journal,
q Conservative 81 paper, has the
following:
"Every country has its patriot to
rise up with Heaven strengthened
arm and strike down the tyrant
expressing it To kill in self de
Tense is justi6able always. To rid
the earth of such q monster as
Sheridan would be deed for all
the world to applaud. We don't
mean for midnight masked assae'-
sins to murder him, but for the
people of New Orleans, of Louisi-
ana, rising in the majesty of
their might, to slay him on the
streets as they would a rabid dog,
In the broad, open day, with the
sunlight of Gods Heaven shining
down upon the act, and growing
brighter in approval"
That is not intimidation, 0 no,
it is the broadcast liberty; from the
White league standpoint; it is in
accordance with the command OF
God, Thou shalt do no murder.
