Echoes OF the Brooklyn Scandal.


The latest specimen of spicy literature in
the everlasting Beecher business is presented
in the correspondence between Mr.. Francis
ID. Moulton and District Attorney Britton.
OF Brooklyn. Mr.. Moulton reminds Mr.
Britton that it Is nearly a year since he
lMoulton) was indicted for criminal libel at
and requests that the trial may be proceeded
with, protesting against any withdrawal of
the Indictment by Beecher as an evasion of
public Justice. Mr. Britton replies that 1.-THE
contents and character of the publication re-
lating TO the Beecher-Tilton controversy for
the past year have been such that / am in
clined To think that in case / am called upon
TO prosecute criminally every libel which
mas been published in connection with il the
more important administration of the GRIM
maj law will of necessity stand over for the
next hall century. 1t is among the misfor-
tunes of civil courts that parties may there
indulge in all manner OF quarrels and ex-
ploits, natural or artificial, at their will; but
courts OF criminal Jurisdiction are moved
only by the pc ople and for the people of the
state. In this hot weather Jail cases like
those of Loader and Price have the prefer
ence, as II is regarded greater hardship for
parties not yet proven guilty to sweat in
Raymond street than to suffer from libelous
publications. Ii would afford me great
pleasure TO try you for any offense coming
WITHIN The several duties of the summer
months, but ii is out of my power to indulge
you in what you seem to regard as a luxury
at The cost OF neglect of business entitled TO a
preference. Later on / may be able to ac-
commodate you TO your satisfaction and
then you may have reason to rejoice that the
ordeal had not taxed your energies and forth

ARREST OF COIN CoUNTERFEITERs.-Th
Treasury secret service division has received
Information OF the arrest at Oroville, Cal, Of
Motroni Sebastiano and Augustine Buazzt
two members of the notorious Marysville
gang OF counterfeters. These men were in
Oroville during the session of the democratic
convention, and took advantage of the
crowded condition OF the saloons to get rid
OF many bogus quarter-eagles. They got rid
OF ten before arOusing suspicion, and when a
local ofhcer Appreciated Sebastiano only
one $3.50 piece was found in his possession.
An operative OF the secret service took hold
OF the case at this juncture, and after dill
gent search discovered Buazzi asleep, at
O'Clock In the morning, under a tree. A
search of his pockets brought to light fifteen
base quarter-eagles. The prisoners were
taken 10 Marysville, near which tow a the
mandatory was located. 1t was a one
story and-a half frame structure, facing q
slough which runs into the Feather river
and close to dense swamp. In this house
were found fifty unfinished quarter-eagles,
Just as they had left the moulds, a quantity
OF mixed and unmixed crucibles, ladies', bot
ties OF various kinds of acids, &c. The
moulds were not there. but their capture was
immaterial, since plaster mould can be
made very easily In short time. The two
men were finally jagged In San Francisco,
and, after preliminary examination before
u. y. Commissioner 0'Beirne, were COM
United w default Of bail for trial.

The Late Frost.

From all parts of lower Maryland, the Eas-
tern Shore, aud from the near counties Of
Vireiuia, accounts come of the damage done
by the late severe cold to early fruits and
vegetation. The early fruit trees and vines
which had advanced beyond the flower state,
ii is sale, were caught at the time when most
susceptible to injury, and that in many i'll
stances total destruction of the crop has TO-
lowed. Something, ofcourse, must be allowed
for exaggeraton in these stories, but as The
eddy teen severe. With regard to the peach
crop on the Eastern Shore, the Wilmington
Commercial says:
The continuation of the cold spell has created
considerable apprehension among the fruit
growers with respect 10 the safety of the peach
crop Ice has formed throughout the upper aud
middle portions OF the peach-growing district
TO the thickness of an inch or more. aud
Throughout the lower portions the ponds are
CONCEALED but not so strongly. At Middle
town the thermometer is reported 10 have
marked % degrees nj O'Clock this morning
and throughout the peninsula, rs far as we
have any information, the mercury has been
lowering about the freezing point. 1t is said
that the sap in the trees has been frozen, and
that the buds, cut off from nourishment, have
died. This statement. however, must not be
fully accepted, for no examinations have vel
been made. Some of the growers about Mid
