FRANKLIN county, Missouri, has IS
sued a large amount of indebtedness
evidenced i by coupon bonds for the
purpose of paying contractors for
work done on the county roads. The
issue Of the bonds Was a matter Of al
most as much notoriety as the con-
struction Of the roads, at least it would
seem probable that the people Of the
county who saw the work progressing
must have known that the work was to
be paid for. The bonds, as a
matter Of course, found their
way into the hands Of innocent
holders. When it became necessary
to lew a special tax, for the purpose Of
meeting the interest on the bonds, an
Injunction was sued to prevent such
levy and collection. In the State courts
the decision was IN favor Of the validi-
tv of the bonds, and the United States
SUPREME Court has just rendered a
similar opinion, IN which the validity
of the bonds is IN substance main
tanned. The Court use the following
expression: you must pay for an ex-
penditure which you saw incurred and
could have prevented, but did not. .

United States steamer Saranac having on

the proposed bridge at the narrOws for the
Canadian Overland Railroad. She was 60

for few moments, swung off the bow, was
run into the Vancouver shore, and made
fast with a hawseT to tree.
In an hour she sunk completely
out Of sight, not even a masthead being
visible. But little stores or personal effects
Of officers were saved. The ship company
camped on the beach without shelter and
but limited provisions, but Commander
Sanders, the pilot and thirteen men made
their way on foot and came to Victoria, ar

The newspapers here hint at and half tell

Frank B. Carpenter, suppressing the lady s
name, is this: BOwen's first wife died many
wears ago. Subsequently he became mat
TimOnially engaged to ayOung woman, who
was a member Of Plymouth Church. The
wedding day was fixed, and preparations
made for the marriage. One day the afhanced
woman tearfully aud Temorsefnlly con-
fessed TO Bowen that she had been sexual
" guilty with Beecher.. She urged in ex-
lenuation that she had loved and trusted
her pastor, and that her ruin had been ac-
complished by urgent solicitation and some
physical force. Bowen thereupOn had an
interview with Beecher and accused him
of the OfieDse. Beecher acknowledged his
guilt, and on his knees pleaded for forgive
ness. Bowen fOrgave him, but broke off

This is why, as the story goes, Bowen con-

Lord LytletOn replied that the Governors

What the Papers Say.
London papers generally disapprove Of
the proposed visit Of the revival preachers
to Eton. The Times deprecstes unheces-

considering that only one service is con
templated, will not make the institution
ridiculous. Ifthls course is followed, it is
likely the boys will hear nothing objection

AT THE END OF THE TRIAL.
Before the next number Of this paper is
published, the suit Of Theodore TiltOn
against Henry Ward Beecher will probably
have reached its end. At this time we
shall assume nothing as to the probable &C
ton Of the jury. From thai question, in
which interest centers so keenly for the
moment, we turn 20 the broader field in
which the issue involved in this case is to
be at last decided. The full and final YER
dict upon the defendants character does
not rest with the twelve men in the jury
box alone, mol with the city of Brooklyn,
nor with the press Of the country, nor even
with the entire people Of the country as
| they are to day. 1t rests with the DELHI
| crate Judgment of the civilized world, rem
| dered in the full, clear, calm light which
| Time sheds upon all things. The heats Of
| the present will pass away. The mass If
conflicting testimony, the eloquence Of adj
| vocates, the subtleties of the law, the pas
sions and prejudices Of men-these, with
receding months and years will settle
| into their true place aud proportion.
Out OF az This confusion the
great significant facts will emerge,
| and the world will discern them,
and pass judgment upon them. And that
Jury will not disagree. History leaves
many things in doubt, but it passes with
unerring cer. ainty upon the central char2c-
teristies Of the men who have lived in the

NASHVILLE TENN. TUESDAY JUNE %, 1876.

sight Of the whole world. It will not re-
main a matter Of doubt whether the life Of
Henry Ward Beecher has been rotten to
the core or grounded in sincerity. Men
may hereafter question how far he was
wise, bow far he fell short in prudence or
insight or in rightly fitting his acts 10 the
requirements of circumstances. But il will
not always remain an open question
whether his whole work was a fraud;
whether life prOfessedly devoted TO the
hottest ends was at heart inspired by the
basest selfshness; whether, while seeming
TO live for the service Of mankind, he de-
liberately wrought utter ruin to the help
less, the innocent, the cOnfding. There
will be an answer to that, and an answer
that all will accept.
Men want justice done instantly. They
long for a revelation Of the truth before
which falsehood shall fall dead, and limo
cence shine clear as the MONDAY. But
Gods justice for the most part works more
slowly. The Eternal One is patient, and
teaches something of his patience to our
eager hearts. await on the Lord" says
the Psalmist, "Wait, say, ON the Lord"

New York Sun.
Beecher's editorial associates" in the
e,
come out in an article declaring that the
Plymouth pastor will go on with his preach
ing, editing, and writing his Life of Christ,
whatever the verdict of the jury in his case.
They make the announcement in cantiDg
style that must be positively sickening TO
Beecher, if ne has a particle Of selt-respect
left.
Now, the principal one of these canting
associates is Oliver johnson, the man who
told Carpenter, the painter, that Beecher
had been an awful sinner among women.
Nor is Carpenter the only one to whom
this johnson has talked in like manner.
However, as he has a good salary under
Beecher, he sings a diliererent tune just
now, and talks about the love men owe to
his patron, speaks Of bis acts as only sins
against prudence, and INDUCES in apanegy-
ric Of Of him as a martyr suffering for
truths sake.
The article Of the Christian Union is an
insult to the moral and religious sense Of
the community, and should re-
ceiye formal rebuke not only from
the secular journals, but also
from the whole religious press and from the
ecclesiastical organizations of the COngre-
gstiOnal body. We believe that it viii be
