distrusted, where not condemned. Unless
Mr.. BEECuER can keep his church strong
and undoubtng in its faith in him, and in
good UNCONVENTIONAL reputc, he is an ut
terly ruined man. That the Church be-
gins TO fear the consequences of the policy
of silence; aud that persistence in II would
soon fomcnt further discords and stir mp
doubts among the church members now
kept smothcrcl by hope or pride, there is
no doubt whatever. The applause with
which tue acceptance of Mrs. MOuLroN's
request for n mutual council was received
at the church meeting showed what relief
the promised abandonment of the policy
OF silence rave the members. The tu-
multuous applause which they gave Mr..
BErCuEVs declaration OH Friday evening
that the time for silence had gone by, and
the unanimous and hearty agreement eX-
pressed in the aggressive policy assumed
toward Deacon WEST, further indicated
that the feeling Of his church actually
forced Mr.. BEECHER TO assume bold frvp:
toward his accuscrs.
II the Church had refused Mrs. MouI.-
TONS request, she could have called an CT
rdtc council and Plymouth Church would
inevitably have been dsfCllowshippcd.
by acccdng to her request the Church
gains the right OF naming half the churches
to compose the council. and 80 may be able
to prevent an agreement hostile to MIR.

is, Mr.. BEEcnER WAS driven into corner.
He had no clioicc hat 20 nght. There was
more safety for him in the turmoil OF bat

The Escape of Tweed.

The escape OF WILLIAM NJ. TWEED from
the Warden Of Ludlow street Jail will
cause no very great surprise. The Boss
simply has followed in the wake OF his
subordiuates OF the Ring. and the manner
of his getting OF was not SO different
from that Of GE>rr's rs to make 1t
either novel or startling. TWEED was
taken 10y Warden DrsItAM to the Boss's
house IN Ffty-niuth street He was allow
cd to see his wife. and ten minutes later.
when he was sent after, he was gone.
The riff j. responsible for mis- prs
oner to the extent OF the damages obtained
against him. which will make it so
r.ous matter for Mr.. CONNER TWEED
seems at least to have got on easily
He Will probably join the company Of
exiies, OF which his former friends, Co.'S
MOLLY. SwEENY and GENET constitute
the brilliant ornaments, and such prop
erty as he has saved will doubtless enable
him to keep the wolf from the door in
such foreign country as he may select for
his future residence.
TwEED's escape was once before errone-
ously reported, aud surprise has been felt
that nc so long endured imprison-
ment; but, through such means rs
he took last evening, he probably
availcd himself of his best chance since
his trial. Before its occurrence he felt no
need OF running away from the penalties
of the law. for he did not fear them. He
fancied himself secure from punishment
The accommodating spirit OF Warden
DUNnAM in permitting his man 10 get out
OF his clutches sugg, SIS many thing, which
the officer may iiudit hard 10 explain. one
thing is certain, TwcEp chose crisis
in ms fortunes to avail himself Of the
opportunity given him 10 eva4c the far
ther penalties of his misdeCds. lie did rot
too soon make that call on his wife, or too
promptly improve its occasion for cscap-
ing the clutches of his official guardian.
one small satisfaction we lave IN the
case Of TWEED. Even If he did not meet
the full penalties OF his crimes, he yet has
suffered ign, miuious punishment in part
for them. And now, even II he Is not recap
turcd-us he ought TO be, considering
the almost impossibii,y OF his hiding his
undsguisable pcrsonality-hc has In some
degree atoncd for bis career OF plum
der. Mcaner scamps, like CONNOLLY,
got of scot free, while the man
upon whom they depended for the
enrontery which gave them their ill
gotten wealth. was doomed to wear q
penitentiary jacket, and to spend the bulk
OF his fortune on his legal defence.

The faculty Of Princeton College nav

now waging with considerable number
Of students; but we are inclined to the be-
lief that it will he Il costly victory, in IA
skirmish which might better have been
avoided.
We feel ourselves free from prejudice in
the premises, and We admit that there was
an error on the part of the students in join
ingnny secret society in violation OF q prom
Use which they had made. But while that
promise may not have been wholly COM
pulsory, on the other hand, we cannot re-
gard it as equally an act of freedom with
the engagement made by the President OF
the College, rs some advocate of the faculty
has contended. when Freedman enters
Prlrcei on he Is, usually, acting under the
orders of his superior, his parent OF
guardian. He has been sent to that college
by the will of another, instead of being
sent to college where secret societies are
allowed or tolerated. He is asked, among
other things to promise not TO join any So
cret society, and TO do il without mental
reservation. IL he were TO refuse to make
this, or any other required agreement, aud
thus exclude himself from the institution,
he knows very well how such conduct
would be disapproved by those who sent
him there. Young and inexperienced he
has hardly anything else open to him to do
but TO accept the terms proiforcd by the
faculty, and to make any promises exncted
from him as conditions precedent TO enter
ing. Nor, at the time, has lie on the one
hand any intention to break his pledge, or,
on the other, any understanding of the in
ducements which will DO laid before him
to do SO.
The faculty, on the other hand, know
perfectly well how strongly he will be
tempted, and with how little understand

irg he makes the pledge. Are they guilt
less2 DO not they deliberately lead him
into tcmptation7 They place him on II
slippery footing. and then cry out against
him if hc falls.
We do not justify the student in break
ing q promise which he has once made,
even under these c rcumstauccs. But we
are talking about degrees OF guilt, and we
think the old heads of the faculty are the
greater sinners. The Rev. JoiiS riERrONT
use to preach that the temptcr was always
greater sinner than the tempted. Abol-
ish tho promise, and the breaking of it Will
never occur.
And why should not the promise be abol-
ishedl Such Il pledge rs a condition prccc-
dent TO admission, is n most unjustillable
and tyrannical cxaction The faculty them
selves conccde that there is nothing ntiln-
sically bad in secret societies, that they
are not per SC an evil, by encouraging two
such societies and joining them themselves.

Mr. Beeeher Accepts lhe Inevitable.

Mr.. BEECHER on Friday evening formally
turned his back on the policy of silence
which he solcnuly cOvenanted with his
church on the first OF November to pursue,
and announced amid great applause that
1.-THE time for silence Las gone by" We
are glad that he las reached that conclu-
sion, but he was forced to IT. Situated ms
Plymouth Church now is, there is no alter
native except to fight Deacon WEST and
Mrs. MoULToN, or part company with the
Congregationalists This latter Mr. BEECH
Err dare not do. His only present strength
is in Plymouth Church, and Plymouth
Church sent adrift by the five thousand
Congregational churches would fall into
worse reputc than IL now endures, and
soon would tumble to pieces.
Though Mr.. BEEcHER in former days,
when he felt sufficient unto himself, could
afford to keep up only n sort of nominal
connection with the Congregational body,
yet now that he is in desperate straits, he
cannot stand such injury as the disfellow-
shipping OF his church would cause. He is
navigating dangerous waters and he can
not run the risk of being separated from
the general fleet.
Many years ago, when THEODORE PAR
KER was lifting up his voice in Boston
against slavery, he besought Henry WARD
BEEcHER in BROOKLYN to lend him help
ing hand. Mr.. BEECHER, who is not a
bold man by any means whatever his rep
utation for courage may be- gave him only
timid sort OF support fearful of the effect
on his church. Thereupon THEODORE
PARKER remarked that "HENRY WARD
BEEcnER isnever bold except when he has
his back up against Plymouth Church."
II Mr., BEEcHER in those days of his rising
fame felt the necessity of the support of
Plymouth Church, how much more must
