The first subject considered by Mr.. Evaits on
resuming his plea was the Griffith Gaunt" letter,
dated June 80, 1871. This, said the speaker, in
its whole moral force is refutation of the canal
intercourse theory, and Is an exposition Of how
discord may come between husband and wife by
entirely pure relations between clergyman and
penient. Here counsel read the letter in which
Mrs. Tilton says Catherine Gaunt, character of
felton, has opened her eyes to her sin and she asks
her husbands pardon. 1t was only when she read
Catherine Gaunt' that she perceived that under
the powerful exposition of this writer of fiction,
the relations of IA married woman to a clergyman,
IN which there was no pretence Of impurlty, had
been the cause of discoid, and of actually driving
a husband into adultery, for winch he repentcd
and was pardoned. She saw as under the burn.
ing breath of the sun how these miuistiations of
clergyman could drive husband to adultery and
thus she takes selfabasement to herself for not
having been SO attentive to her husband, and for
beng responsible for these growing appetites of
her husband and she saw in Catherine Gaunt the
lesson that to allow an image to compete with her
husbands portrait in her breast is sin and error,
in a way that may entail sad consequences.
And that letter--in which she prays that her
husband may never be misled by good woman
as she had been by good man /; it is hard, SAID
counsel, that Beocher should be Judged at all,

The next letter Of Mrs. Tilton to Bcecher is
dated May, 1871. She opens with "Alr Beech

This, said counsel, is strange from woman mis-
led and seduced. "ln all the sad complications Of
the past year, my endeayor was to keep from YOU
all suffering. My weapons were love, large UNI
firing generosity, and nest-hiding. This last word
with note of admiration" This letter, said
Eyarts, has been the subject of comments which
must be consulted to see how vile are the inter
pr,. atoms which some man has placed on the word
! "nest-hiding." Separated from her alleged para
mour, and these alleged relations terminated for a
year more, she writes that during the past

The people of Machias are to have a
centennial celebration next Saturday. to
commemorate the first naval battle of the
Revolution, which was fought at that
place, resulting in the capture OF the Brit
ish sloop-of-war Margaretta and several
other small craft. The Machias men
were led by Capt. Jeremiah OBrien, aud
for want of better weapons many OF them
were armed with pitch.orks. But they
were brave as lions and as well led as
brave. The celebration will be an inter-

TO learn, as we do from the Cincinnati

''The verdict of the coroner's jury in the
Holyoke disaster" says the Boston Adver
tiser, observes the serious attention ofall
persons in responsible charge of places Of
public resort. They find that all the
deaths occurred among those seated in the
gallery, the faulty construction OF which
calls for the unmeasured censure
of the community. They also find
that the direct cause OF the fire was
the use of trimmings of lace,
paper, etc., about the altar, and the fact
that the building was sheathed with pine
instead Of being plastered. The simple
statement of such recklessness is enough
to make one shudder at the peril all the
worshippers were exposed to. Yet this
little church was but one of thousand
which may be swept away as suddenly 10y

The sturdy Britishers have at
last become alarmed by the strides
If we may be permitted to call
them such-which woman is max
ing toward political power. An
association has been formed by
members of the House of Commons
and a circular has been issued call
ing up Englishmen to rise in their
might and resist the encroachments
of woman. AS means to an end
the movement is simply ridiculous
but as an admission that woman
is really making some political pro-
gress in England it is very signif-
cant.

Indian Fraud investigation.

The commission appointed by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs ia
investigate the charges of Indian
frauds have had Professor Marsh
before them, and the Professor has
presented them with what facts
there are in his possession in adj
dition to those set forth in his
statement to the President. The
Professor has also given them the
names of gentlemen from whom
they can procure further informa-
ton. Commissioner Smith, in very
bad taste as it would appear, was
present at the investigation. If he
does not fear the facts, he should
remain in Washington while the
investigation, such as it is, is in
progress, AMI not seek to give in
direction. The investigating COM
mission has no power either to en-
force the attendance of Indian
agents or others upon its sessions
or to compel them to testify when
present. But while it can be great
ly impeded and restricted in its
operations, it can still accomplish a
great deal If its members have will
ing hearts and if they are properly
sustained by the President. 1t can
easily procure from army officers
and gentlemen of the highest char
acter testimony in reference to the
nature of the supplies furnished the
Indians, and can at least lay the
foundation for more searching
unsparing, and effectual investiga-
ton in the not distant future

The latest discovery Of link be-
tween man and his anthropomor-
phous antecedents is the one dis
covered by Mr.. Bond, an Indian
surveyor, who has procured two
specimens. The race inhabits the
hill country of the Western Chats,
and lives chiefly on honey and
roots. They are not sufficiently
civilized to have fixed dwelling
places, but they have a genious for
trade, exchanging their honey and
wax for tobacco, cloth and rice.
Their physical appearance is thus
described: The forehead is low
and retreating, the lower part OF
the face projecting like the muzzle
of monkey; the legs are short
and handy, while the body and
arms are comparatively long; the
palms and fingers, more especially
the tips of the latter, are covered
with thick skin, the nails being
small and imperfect, while the feet
IRE broad and covered on the mp
,er as well as the lower surface

The Spiritualists themselves have
taken hold of the matter Of un-
earthing frauds perpetrated in the
name of Spiritualism, and seem to
be meeting with marked success.
Their first efforts were directed to
the investigation of Mrs. Holmes,
the temporary proprietress Of that
Katie King who led Robert Dale
Owen astray, and of her piratical
father, John King. The investiga-
ton was made in Brooklyn, and
the Spiritualists of that city pub
lish an official report in the Banner
of Light, the organ of the sect, de-
claring that Mrs. Holmes manifes-
tations in Brooklyn "were gross
frauds, practiced upon an earnest,
sincere and humble assembly
Of Investigators as ever met, who
feel that their hottest and most
sacred feelings have been outraged
by the imposition practiced upon
them, and which the refusal of
Mrs. Holmes to vindicate herself
clearly proves"

There is every indication that
good crops of all kinds will be
gathered in this country during
the present season, and that a great
demand will be made for the same
from foreign countries. Wheat
especially promises to be in great
demand, and it is thought that it
will bring in such an influx of gold
as will materially aid us in work
ing out our financial problem, and
ease the present stringency of the
money market. The excitement
in the wheat market for the past
few days has been of an extraordi-
nary nature, and has taken dealers
in that product by surprise.
