A DISPATCH from Concord, N. H.,
to the Boston papers Monday, says {:

Arthur p. Pike of Haverhill was
brought to this city this afternoon
and given in charge of Warden
Pillsbury for a fourteen years. sen
tence to the State Prison for Oh
structing the track of the Boston,
Concord and Montreal Railroad at
North Haverhill on the 25th of Au-
gust last. Pike is but eighteen
years of age, yet richly deserves the
punishment he received. He was
tried at the Fall Term of the Grafton
County Court at Plymouth but the
jury failed to agree, as the evidence
was incomplete.
The facts in the case show Pike to
have been revengeful villain. He
was in the employ of the Boston,
Concord and Montreal Railroad on
the day the instructions were placed
OH the track, being at work on a
wrecking train. Engineer George
b. Mann was in charge ofthe train,
and after bearing repeated insolence
from young Pike finally became ex-
asperated and gave him a thrash
ing. Pike swore vengeance, threat.
ening that he would get even. He
left the train, and a few hours later,
when the wrecking train was re-.
turning to Plymouth, it ran into a
pile OF sleepers placed Oh the track.
No one was injured, though consid-
cradle damage was done.
After the trial in May, and the
disagreement of the jury Engineer
Mann, feeling that his life Was not
safe if the boy went at large, set at
work to obtain evidence against
him. When the case was presented
before this term of the Court ut Ha.
verhill the evidence was so we'll ar.
ranged that Judge Rand remarked
that it was one of the most cOnclu.
sive criminal cases ever brought be-
fore him. Engineer Mann had sue
ceeded in accounting for every min
ute of Pixies time from the moment
he left the train till the next day.
Pike was defended by the most
able counsel the State affords,
Judge Harry Bingham of Littleton.
Much interest was manifested in the
case by railroad men, and Oh the ar.
rival OF the prisoner in this city he
was followed to prison by quite a
crowd.

THE examination of Mr.. Brpchrr

THE examination Of Mr.. Bcecllcr
is now going on in brooklyn. One
of the most dramatic scenes Of the
trial thus far occurred on Friday
morning OF last week, when Mr..
Beecher solemnly asserted his limo.
cence Of any and of all the charges
brought against him from time to
time by Mr.. Tilton. A report OF the
scene, as found in one Of the Boston
papers is as follows:
Mr.. Evarts led Beecher by slow
degrees to the eliminating point.
aud the effect of the final declaration
of innocence was thereby heightened.
He was first questioned. AS to the
scene described by the nurse, Mrs.
Carey, wherein Mrs. Tilton was rep.
resented as sitting OH Mr.. Beechers
knee and calling him "dear father"
He gave brief and emphatic denial
to that statement.
Again as to Mr.. Richards meeting
them under suspicious circum'
stances, he declared that he could
not rec0llect of ever having seen
Mr.. Richards while on a visit TO
Mrs. 1iltOn's house. MIR. Brashier
might have seen him on the st0op of
Mr.. TiltOn's house at an early hour
in the morning, but ifsO the witness
had no recollection of the visit. He
denied the truth of Mr.. Tilton's allie.
cations concerning his own acts on
October 10 and II, 1868. Then Mr..
Evarts slowly, and with marked de.
liberation, put the following ques-
tons:
Q.-During your entire acquain,
lance with Mrs. TiItoA, Mr.. Beech
er, and up to this month Of Decem,
Der, 1870, had there ever been any
Undue personal familiarity between
yourself and her!
A.-Neyer.
Q,-Had you at any time directly
or indirectly solicited improper ia
vOrs from her as u woman
A.-Never.
Q.-Had you ever received i'm.
proper favOrS from her
Alt was a thing impossible
from her. Never.
Between each of the three ques-
tons there was long pause, as if
Mr.. Evarts wished the jury to take
in the whole force and meaning Of
the emphatic denialS which came in
response to each. The last was Civ
en- with increased emphasis, and the
long pause between it and the next
question was broken by the loudest
and most general applause yet heard
during the trial. The demonstration
was so positive that Judge Nelson
gave orders to the police to eject any
persons engaged in repetition of
the offence.

INDIA AND THE PRINCE OF

[From tie Ear Mall

If anything can be predicted with GER
talnty about the Oriental character, the
approaching visit Of the Prince Of Wales to
India promises to be most salutary, and
WILL timed. To speak of the Oriental
character, and to argue from any opinion
OF It's probable workings, is OF curse to
employ that kind of shorthand reasoning
which the completely and subfIety of life
and the world continually force on US.
People talk about "knowing I0dia," as if
any one really did know India, as if the
brain of q Waltz or Humboldt, could con-
tain the details necessary 10 form even an
approximate generallsatlon as to the pro-
babIe current of feeling tDas may sway

nations, aud murmur of many beliefs, dis
tam Europeans can yet diScrro at least one
C ,mmon creed. The Oriental, from the
Sikh and the Rliput, to the Bheel and the
KhOud, is a convinced believer in Power.
Power, however nj manifested, fods its votarv
in him, and he is all the more ready to
submit if the power be rarely seen, and
splendid in its appearances. There is a
kind of Lam1oism in Indian ideas of
Sovereignty. The Ruler is, as the founder
of Rome hoped to be, " the more revered
in proportion to the rarity with which he
shows himself to his people" In EGG
land the reverse h IS ever been the case,
and the King who loved a man, and mixed
freely with the sports, Pleasures, and
specfacles Of his people could generally
keep their affection, in spite of arbitrary
rule and perulant despotism. Now the
visit of the Prince of Wales to India should
combine for once the qualities that delight,
in a Royal progress, the %fancies of both the
Eastern and the Western would. The
peoples of India will see for the first time
the son of the holder Of the far-off throne,
which imposes its sway upon the East.

personal attribute, the progress ought to

Political Notes.

The work of the Grand Jury
in Cincinnati includes indictments
against seven Democratic officials.
The Nation draws a comparison be-
tween the Republican and Democrat
ie platforms in Ohio and says, "un-
der those circumstances we have no
hesitaney in advising anyone who
thinks our advice worth taking 10
vote the Republican ticket" Taking
the Democratic platform and candi-
dates together, he thinks ''the work
OF the convention is about as rascally
a piece of politics as we have seen in
good long time"
From quite mass of characters

The italics are those of the Central

an editorial article on the common
school question, and is probably in
tended to define the papers position
on this question, as further along in
