The Wr0nsed Mrs. TiltOn.

\ It is creditable to their humanity an,
sense Of justice that throughout the coun
try the newspaper editors speak of tn
failure of Mr.. Beecher's counsel to cal
Mrs. TiltOn as an outrage against the &C
cused wife. This failure to take adyant
age of an opportunity to enable the incul
pated woman to defend her wifely hono
against his assaults and those of her hus
band, has also produced an impression OF
the public very damaging to the Plymouth
pastor.
Mr.. Beecher's treatment of Mrs. Tilton
from the time of the pretended church in
vestigaticn until now, has not been sucl
as to entitlc Linn to the sympathy Of hon
orable men. Before the committee. he
threw the burden of such blame as could
be imputed to either of them on the wo
man with whom 1t was charged that he
had sinned. Sine had fallen in love with
him, he said. She had lied to her husband
as to the character of her relations will,
her pastor; and only when Mr.. Becchcl
appealed to her to right the terrible wrongs
she had done him, did she, lying like one
dead on that stormy night, rise up in bed
and write the retraction Of her confession
which he aftcrward gave up to Moulton at
the celebrated pistol interview. This is
Bcecher's story. with the nd iition that be
was in horrible torment because he had
not perceived that he was cngrossing Mrs.
Tilton's interest and stealing away her
affections from her husband. As any
man, the best man, might haye done this
latter thing without fault or just reason
for self-rcproach. certainly without earn
ing public condemnation, SO what Mr..
Beecher really did was to try to excul-
pate himself At the expense of Mrs. Tilton.
Yet, having done this, having invited
all the world to look at this woman's weak
ness in giving her love to her pastor, he
refused her possible chance to speak in
her own defence from off the witness
stand, where what she said would have
been read of all men, and formed part of
the official record of trial which will be
referred to for at least generation toI
come! More than he, she was vitality in
terested in the trial. If she was guiltlcss,
his innocence followed as q matter OF
course; and to wife her chastity is price
less. Yet she was not even allowed by

Spencerian Peus have attained their
great popularity from variety of rea-
sons, all of which will be apparent to
any one who m ay try them. Of one
number alone more than six millions
were sold last year. We use them in
our Office, and are SO we'll pleased with
them that we have no hesitation in say.
ing that they are, in our opinion, SUI
perior to any other article of the kind
with which we are acquainted Their
chief characteristics seem to be fexi-
bility, elasticity, durability and even
ness of point, and nearer approxima-
ton to the real qnill action than has
been heretofore attained in a steel pen.
The Spencerian are comprised in ff
teen numbers, all differing in hexibility
and fneness Of point, and for the con-
cenience of those who wish to try
them Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman, Tay-
lor & Co., 1873 and 40 Grand Street,
New York, will send by mail sample
card. securely enclosed. containing one
each of the different numbers, on re-
ceipt of twenty-five cents.

The OLD Democratic city of Stevens
Point gave Ludington IS majority
The Republicans were we'll organized
at the Point. In view of the result
the Pinery has the following which
contains a good lesson for the Republi-
cans of Wood County. Will they
heed it? 1t is well to consider the
matter. There is no reason why the
Republicans of Wood county should
not have an efficient organization pre-
paratory for the presidential cam
paign:
The wonderful result of the election
in this city astonished Republicans as
much as Reformers. No one had the
faintest suspicion of Reform defeat in
Stevens Point. But the lesson is one
which we hope will be beneficial TO our
leaders of the Reform party. While
the Republicans have never before
gained victory in this city, still they
have always been we'll organized and
active in every campaign, and their re-
markable patience and perseverance
has at last gained for them a grand,
highly appreciated victory. During
the past campaigns the Reform party of
our city haze been unusually slack and
reckless, having no thorough organic,
alton. and the consequence has been,
what they could not in their weak and
disorderly state prevent, complete
and shameful defeat. VIII they profit
by the lesson? The Republicans are
certainly entitled to great praise for
their activity and thorough work.
Their victory was fairly and honestly
won.

The Brooklyn Scandal Again.

There is positive danger that the
nasty Brooklyn scandal, which it was
almost universally hoped was buried
out of sight, for the present at least,
is to be revived and again forced upon
the attention of the public. Not only
has the New York and Brooklyn As
ISOLATION of Congregational Ministers
taken the preliminary steps for an in
dependent examination of the charges,
with reference to Mr. Beecher's reten-
ton or dismissal, as member, but
Plymouth Church has dropped Mrs.
Moulton from membership. and forced
that lady to formal reiteration of the
charges for which its pastor was so
lately on trial. The ground of action
by the church is her continued alb
sence from its services. Mrs. Moul-
ton was present at the meeting at
which her dismissal was voted, with
counsel and had read protest declar-
ing her absence to be caused by the
crime of adultery committed by Mr..
Beecher with Mrs. Tilton, which she
knows by confession Of both parties,
and by conclusive evidence from 9TH
err Sources and insisting upon her
readiness to perform all her duties as a
member of the church consistent with
her acknowledge of the adultery of its
pastor and his false swearing with re-
gard to it"
The action Of the Congregational
Association is evid ence of one thing,
namely, that MIR. Beecher's ministerial
associates, even in his own denomina-
ton, are not satisfied with the result
of the receut trial. 1t is said that
rather than submit to the proposed in
vestigation Nh. Beecher will volunta-
rily withdraw from the Association.
Such course could not be advised by
any but over-zealous friends; and it
would seem that Mr.. Beecher might
have feared by this time that friend
ship in Brooklyn is dangerous bust
ness, and that if the scandal is to be
revived at all the best way is to meet
it openly and disprove it.
The protest presented by Mrs. Moul-
ton, through "counsel." of course, is
evidently but the remains of the ma
lignancy engendered by the failure Of
her consort and Tilton to establish Mr.
Beecher's guilt. They are sharp
enough to see that belief In the truth
Of their charges will grow, by their
constant Federation. and that they
have possibly something to gain, if
nothing to lose, by such a course. 1t
is evident that the last Of the scandal
has not been heard. Notwithstanding
the fact that the public were long ago
weary of it, and the hope that it had
received its final quietus.-Poa and

About Steel Pens.

Few persons doubtless are aware OF
the fact that the original inventor OF
Steel Pens is still living. Sir Josiah
Mason, now the great pen manufacture
er of Birmingham, England, enjoys
that distinction. He is now very old,
being above eighty. 1t is in his great
factory that several of the most popu-
lar of the widely famed Spencerian
Double Elastic Steel Pens are made,
the models being supplied by the pro.
prietors of the pens. Messrs. Ivison,

The Elections.

The past week has been for pollti-
clans one of anxious waiting. The
first reports coming Immediately upor
the reception of the returns from local.
ties contiguous to Madison and Mil
waukee, and from those points connect
ed by telegraph placed the majority fol-
the Governor at much larger figures
than subsequent returns indicated
Sufficient time has now elapsed to ena.
BILE us to make careful estimate O.
the result.
Ludington will have at least SOC
majority which may be increased t.
900, or perhaps 1000. The rest O
the state ticket is undoubtedly defeat
ed, though possibly Warner is barely
elected. Ludington ran ahead O
Warner in Milwaukee county 1870
but Mr.. Warner leads Ludington 6Ss
in Pierce County.
Possibly Bennett for Attorney Gen
eral and Eaton for Lietenant Governor
may be elected but this is hardly t.
be hoped for.
In the Legislature the Senate viii
stand, Republicans q, Democrats r.
while in the Assembly we have Repub-
licans SO, Democrats A, Independent
6.
It was rumored that Barron was
beaten in the Oath Dist, but the ru.
NOR proves to have been unfounded.
R. G.. Flint is elected in the 3Oth
district.
The result is grand triumph a
gain of $1,000 in two years.
The result elsewhere is as cheering.
Kansas is overwhelmingly Republican
Pennsylvania gives Hartranft 20, 00C

Minnesota elects the Republican
