New YORK, May 25-The "Times" says
that all the stock jobbing operations
ON one side or the other, cannot save the
Erie Railway from passing into the hands
oil receiver. The exposures OF two years
ago clearly foreshadowed this result.
The Board OF Trade have adopted reso-
buttons declaring that the prevalence Of
smuggling has been due to the demoralized
customs service, and to extortionate and ex-
orbitant tariffs and that probably the
most effective mode of SURPRISING snug

reform the civil service; and that this

dress TO the jury, and said ii Beecher had
debauched Tilton's wife, do you think Ill
l ton could ask committee OF Christian
men TO acquit Bcecher? He makes and
utters recantation of this charge of adul-
terry and then comes into court and asks
for verdict. The accusation of Sunday
was false, and Tuesday he retracted it, be-
cause he knew il was false Judge Porter
