The Tilton- Beecher scandal trial

duce great excitement. The journals

mixed up, and there has been SO much
hard swearing on both s,,es, that it is
pretty hard to tell whether Beecher is
guilty or innocent. The jury must de

to have been Il fair one, and the coun-
sci on both sides appear to be satisfied

WHY AND WHER EFOR Eg

The inflationist lays much stress
upon the depressed condition of the
manufacturer, and claim that he
above all others favors expansion of
the currency. This leads us to in
quire why the manufacturer wants
imitation. Is it because he thinks
the dilution of the currency will
raise the prices of his products !?
But if it raises the prices of mater
ials and the wages of his laborers in
the same proportion, then he will
come out just where he was before.
If he thinks to initiate the prices of
his products and not the wages of his
workmen, then he thinks to cheat
them by it. If he thinks to initiate
the price of his manufactured pro-
duct, and not of the materials he
uses, then he thinks to cheat the
laborers engaged in producing them.
Imitation is a promise that everybody
shall cheat every other body. It has
none but a cheating promise. 1t is
the last thing an honest manufac-
tuTer should fly to.

From the columns of the highly

the following selection of chaste
terms in order that we may satisfy
his unexcelled taste by placing the
INDEPENDENT on the high plane of
responsibility as far as language is
concerned, and for no other purpose.
The following offsprings of this King
of Letters will satisfy for this week
especially as it is the kind of respec-
liability which we and the public may
prefer to take in small doses-there-
fore out of Buzfuz's mouth we quote
the terms :" Assinine,n "sluice of
billingsgate," "Gush of blackguard-
ISM" Verify what a respectable
mouth has Buzfuzj Judged by his own
language.

A GREAT SPEECH.

The speech of Hon. Carl Schurz,
delivered in Cincinnati OH the even
ing of the 9th, on invitation of the
merchants and business men of that
city, is one of the most powerful and
unanswerable arguments against in
hation and in favor of honest money,
which has yet been presented for the
consideration of the American peo-
pie. 1T abounds in facts and logic
which must appeal with force and
effect to the common sense and rea-
son of every thinking man who will
peruse it. Senator Schurz grapples
the question in statesman-like
manner, and appeals direct to the
reason and common sense of the peo-
pie. We shall, in a few days, endea-
vor to find room for at least portion
Of his speech.

He became unconscious, but rallied
somewhat and talked incoherently. DR..

found that the wound was fatal, the
ball having imbedded itselfin the brain.
The injured man has been unconscious
ever since and death is inevitable.

How Il Young Lawyer Made

JERSEY Cry, Sept. %. - Peter
Bentley, one of New Jerseys wealthy
and influential residents died at the
age of seventy at his home on Bergen
Heights yesterday. He was born in
Saratoga county, and journeying to
Jersey City when a youth, enterted
the printing business.
He afterward studied law and
made fortune out of single case.
Mrs. Mary Bill, widow, had be-
qeathed to her water frontage of
fifty-three acres, where the New Jer-
sey Central and Erie railway depots
now stand. These powerful corpora
lions fought the widow and her
young counsel for twelve years.
Mr.. Bentley was defeated time
and time again, but by pluck and
perseverance he at length won. He
paid the widow $50 900 at different
times and became owner himself of
one undivided half interest in the
property. In time Mr.. Bentley's ac
QUESTION became the most valuable
in the State, so that its possessor was
enabled to retire from his profession.
He died millionaire.

The sentence of. twenty years. i'm.

i'll New York who had broken into
the house of his parents and stolen
eight dollars appears rather severe at
first glance, but when it is explained
that almost from infancy the pris-
oner has led life of crime, having
served number of terms in the pen
itentiary, the justice of his punish
ment will be conceded. 1t is from
such incorrigible criminals that the
community demands the amplest
protection.
