OF so many issues upon which they

in those idle tales about a purpose to

dropping spirits; gold went down at
their bidding hut kites still higher;
s.lard and laths" are so dead in the

MRS. r EAK

In to-day's SENTINEL will be found
the full text of a letter from Mrs. Til
ton with reference to the alleged dis
covery of new testimony bearing upon
the Beecher scandal. She emphatic
ically and Indignantly denies that
Price and Loader were engagedin put
ting down carpets at her house at the
time set forth in their afidavits, and
intimates a belief that they were never
in her house on any occasion. She
also repeats that she is wholly inno-
cent, and that the relations that existed
between herself and Beecher were at
all times in strict accord with the most
rigid rules of propriety. We confess
to more sympathy in behalf of this
woma than for any one else mixed up
in the scandalous affair. If innocent,
she has certainly been outrageously
wronged from the very start, and
Beecher contributed as much to that
end as any living man. His 'nest-
hiding" letterswere calculated to arouse
suspicion at least, no matter what may
have been their real import. We some
times feel that WI would like to see
Beecber soundly punished, just for
getting Mrs. Tilton into this "equivo-
cal attitude" The poor woman, if not
guilty, has been greatly sinned against
by both Beecher and her husband.

ROUGH ON THE MEMOIRS.

The Eastern papers, or some OF them
at least, are particularly severe on
General Sherman's new book. No
work of modern times has been more
unsparingly citicised. The st. Louis
Globe Democrat is the most unkind OF
them all. Commenting OF the late
Bunker Hill celebration, it makes the
following sarcastic allusion to the
Memoirs:
This is the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. For
our part, we do not believe there ever
was such a battle. According to the
Sherman Memoirs, the only General
the world has ever seen had not been
born in l775, and how could the Brit
ish have been defeated without a great
General? We stick to these memoirs
for all our military information. II
there had been a Battle of Bunker
Hill, it would have gone into the Me.
moirs after this fashion: "About noon
on the 18th of June, 1775, l heard that
a large force Of British infantry and
artillery was approaching Bunker Hill
l Immediately ordered my horse to be
saddled, and, accompanied by my or
derby, rode out to meet them. l broke
their center with a single charge, and
then sent my orderly to turn Their
TANKS. They Immediately retreated,
with desperate loss"

Major Downie. the well known old
pioneer and founder of D~ownievile,
CaIlIornia, dropped in to see the editor
of the Gold Hill News the other day.
He has but just returned from a six
mouths absence on a prospecting
trip to New Granada, Costa Rica, and
the adjacent sections of country, and
Is much benefited by the trip, looking
ten years younger than before he left.
He was well treated everywhere, and
contrary to what had been told him,
ne found the natives and residents al
that country among the most hospita-
BILE he ever met with. There VAS
plenty of everything, and money was
at a discount. The Major found il a
fine, fertile. healthy country, and jus.
such as people from this coast should
go to for health or recuperation, in
stead of going East. He took a look at
many rich mining r~egions-both pla.

somewhat as a resurrectionist, pros
pecting for "huacas "orancient graves

THE JURY STILL OUT.

The great scandal case is still unde-
cided. A New York dispatch to the
SENTINEL brings the information that
up to II o'clock yesterday the jury had
not agreed upon their verdict. 1t is
further stated that Judge Nelson had
declined to recall them. This dispatch
makes no mention of the situation in
the jury-room, or what the verdict is
likely to be in the very doubtful event
Of an agreement. Later in the day
say about 6 p. Mas we are informed,
. telegram passed v Q the wires of the
Atlantic and Pacific Company convey
ing q to the effect that the jury
stood eleven for Beecher to one for
Tilton. This of course is mere runner,
and may or may not be correct. If 1t
be true that the jury is that near to an
agreement, we shall expect Judge Neil
son to refuse to discharge them for sew
oral days to come. The trial has con-
sumed too much time and cost too
much money to warrant the dismissal
of the jury until the last hope Of OBJ
tanning a verdict shall have been ex-
hausted. If our latest advices are cor
rect, however, it may be possible that
Tilton's solitary friend will yield be-
fore the next issue of the SENTINEL.
Tilton stock is q long way below par at
this writing.

LAW AND JUSTICE IN ENGLAND.-The
friends Of the convict who claims the
Tichborne estate are renewing their at
tack upon Chief Justice Cockburn.
That Judge has made the mistake of
responding t. the assaults upon him
by indiscreet speeches at public din
ners and elsewhere, as though he
sought and needed viudication. The
true judge should be above either
praise or censure, seeking his only re-
ward in the consciousness OF duty
we'll performed. 1t is unwise for a
judge to go begging for popularity,
and Lord Cockburn may he said to in
vite the treatment he receives by losing
his temper.
