JUSTICE no MRS. BEECHER.

The correspondent Of the CHICAGO
Tribune, writing from New York, saws
Of Mrs. Beecher, among other pleasant
things. ''She was after her marriage
what she was before it--a narrow
minded woman, of violent temper and
bitter speech, incapable Of measuring
all her husbands dimensions, and vet
for all that may be the most competent
judge Of his qualities. She is still the
sort Of woman who drives her husband
like a tethered beast, grooming him
with a rancOrOUs jealousy, but cause
lessly singing him into outbursts Of
rebellion. Another wife might have
saved Beecher from the cloud which
impends over the closing Of his career.
She only intensifes its gloom" Now
there Is not the slightest evidence for
assertions such as these, except mere
idle gossip. Any one who has seen
Mrs. Beecher IN the court room
must acknowledge that her face is
one which commands respect. She
has stood by her husband in his
present difficulty in the noblest way,
and 1t is unmanly and indecent thus to
mahgn her upon no evidence whatever.
If Mr.. BeeCher is found guilty, by all
means let him receive the full share Of
reprObatiOn which he has deserved, but
let US spare a woman of whom all that
we really know is that she is a loyal
and devoted wife at a time when many
wives would desert their husbands,
whether innocent or not.

THE DISCARDED ONE HUNDRED
AND THIRTY.

New York Herald, March 3.

One Of the reasons why this particu.
lar session reflects so little honor upon
Congress Is to be found in the fact that
so large a proportion of the members
are rema1ded to paivate life by their
constituents. One hundred and thirty
Of the administration members Of the
House take their final leave of that
body when the session is adjourned TO-
morrow. 1t Is from this fact that the
whole explanation Of the recent pro-
ceedlngs may be evolved. These one
hundred and thirty members, con-
demned by their constituents, but re-
luctant to retire to private life, became
serTile tools in the hands Of an ambi.
tiOus President. The greatest of
English satirists remarked Of a worth.
less renegade priest that che could not
live by God, so changed his master"
So these one hundred and thirty dis
carded Republican members Of the
House, finding that they cannot live
by their constituents, changed their
master TO become the subservient in
struments of Grant.

THE TOUGHEST STORY YET.

Brooklyn Special to the Chicago Tribune.
A most astonishing report is current in
town to-day. It is to the effect that over
S175,COO IS missing from the treasury. Of
Plymouth Church. The loss is cumula-
tive. Every year over 49, 900 has been di-
vided up among the principal stockholders
in Plymouth, which is neither more nor
less than a close corporation, Beecher be-
ing the Atlas who supports it. This
year a large sum Of mOnev-said 10 he
in the neighbOrhOOd Of IT5,OOO-has
disappeared. The suppositiOn is that it has
been ap, lied, without the knowledge and
consent Of all the shareholders, 10 the pay
ment Of expenses incidental to the scandal.
Fees for detectives, compensation Of the in
vestigatiug committee, relainers Of counsel.
all these outlets have drained the Bious
well-sDring pretty dry. IL is because Bow
en- is likely to insist on an Investigation
into Shearman's accounts that Tracy made
his violent attack upon the editor Of the
Independent and the CiOdcu N0riu0 of
the scandal.
Some information which / have lone
been N possession of, but which l have
hitherto suppressed, has now become OF
transcendent importance in his trial. IL
lished to-day. Some years ago Bowen told
the story: One day he bad left his home
to 90 to New York, and had Just reached
the ferry when the sudden increase of
a malay from which he was suffering
made il necessary for him 10 return to his
bed. He had not been in his room very
long before he heard some one arrive at his
house, ring the bell, and enter. One fthe
members Of his household was a very net
ty young girl, to whom he was sincerely at
tached. She went down to the parl0r to
entertain the visitor and remained there
for some time. All Of a sudden she
uttered q succession Of piercing shrieks.
Bowen was alarmed-his CONSERVATION
being increased by the sounds Of a
struggle. Descending to the room as
quickly as he could, be found his protere
almost in the violent embrace of Mr..
Beecher. A lifetime vanished with the
silent flight Of a second, and then, after
the first paralyZing shock Of surprise, the
pastor CrOveled at the feet Of his parishion-
er, and "humbled himself before him as
he did before his God This is BOwen's
own solemn description Of a scene which
Beecher afterwards cOnfessed-if MOultOn
is not a peTiurer-tO NOultOn.

sUFERINEENDENr KILLEBREw.

The appointment of Col. J. B. Kille-
brew, author of the RESOURCES of Ten
nessee, . to the position of Superinten-
dent Of the State Bureau of Agricul-
ture, Statistics and Mines needs
only to be universally known
to be universally approved. As
an indefatigable champion of
the material interests of our State,
there is not a civil district in which his
name has not becomea household word.
1t would be simply impossible to calcu-
late the value Of his public
services during the past three
or four years in advertising our
rich but undevelopcd agricultural
and mineral resources. The outcome
of this immense labor must ultimately
add millions to the wealth Of Tennes-
see and give her an impetus toward
prosperity, such as the most sanguine
have never anticipated. Hitherto, Col.
Killebrew has occupied a sub
ordinate official position IN the great
work of material development; now he
viii be at the head Of a department
which VIII afford full scope for his ex-
haustless energy, large experience and
superior capabilities.

NO srAND.sTILL IN JOURNALISM


St. Louis Globe, March 4.
The decease Of the Sacramento Union
is a circumstance worthy of notice to
that large class Of men and brethren of
the journalistic profession who firmly
believe IN the doctrine Of the indestruc-
tibility Of an established newspaper.
Fifteen years ago the Union was not
only a well.established newspaper,
but it was also a source Of we'll
assured fortune to its prOprietors. It's
profits were greater than those Of any
other newspaper on the Pacific slOpe,nOt
excepting the best Of those published
in San Francisco. Since that time
changes amounting to a positive revo-
luton have taken place IN American
journalism. The conductors Of the
Union thought they were strong enough
to defy any change; they kept on the
even tenor OF their way. The result
was that their younger competitors
outgrew them, and now we hear that
they have succumbed entirely. The
lesson should be needed by
newspapers further East than Cali
fOrnia, IN which the idea that proved
the death of the Union is strongly
prevalent. There is no such thing as
standing still in the world Of Journal
ism. Every newspaper In America is
either gaining or losing In popularity
and esteem with every issue it puts
forth. Old age cannot be used as a
plea to save the best Of them. AS
long as a newspaper can renew its
youth every day with fresh vigor, en-
ergy and enterprise, 50 long it viii
grow and prosper, but when it begins
to live upon its past reputation, it be.
gins to cease to live at all.

There Is much better reason for Mr.
b. +. Buffers lugubrious forebodings
than people generally suppose. Civil
war Is not onlypOssible within the next
two years, but Mr.. Butler is entirely
warranted In saying that the reasons
for anticipating 1t are much greater
now twenty months before the election
Of 1876 than they were twenty months
before the election Of 1860. Not
a man in America, in the begin
ming Of March, 1859, dreamed or
saw cause to dream that ere two
years should pass the country would
hear the call to arms. The reasons to
anticipate civil war within two wears
are a thousand times greater now than
they were then. Then the heat Of DO.

been put on the order to pay. The cheek

ises TO pay.

IN the shape in which it passed the
Senate, the House bill for the equaliza-
ton of bounties provided for the pay
ment to every soldier, sailor, or marine,
Including those borne upon the rolls
as slaves and Indians" a bounty of
eight and one-third dollars per month
Zone hundred dollars year
for the time served between
April y. 1861, and the 9th of May,
1865, less the sum received as
bounty under the United States laws.
As the bill went from the House, it
was estimated by its advocates to ap-
propriate only some thirty million dol
lars. The Second Auditor, however,
estimated the amount called for at
nearly twice that sum, and the
Paymaster General placed it at
one hundred million dollars. The
Senate amendment added the State
bounty, which was said by Gen. Sher-
man, an excellent authority, to reach
the sum Of S286, 78l, 256. When it
reached the Presidents hand, the bill
Their efore appropriated from threehun-
bred and seventeen million to three
hundred and eighty-seven million dol
lars, which the Secretary Of the Treas
my was authorized to borrow at five
per cent. or less. NOwonder that even
Grant stood aghast at this gigantic
cob and declined to give it his sanction.
