the surrender took place the other day at
Armyro. They were afterward brought to
Lafisoa, and pefned in room set apart
for their reception, Spanos having made i.
a special condition of his surrender that he
should not be lodged in the common pris-

the lives of his prisoners by thus satisfying
his followers; for, according to brigand law,
the life of captive is forfeited unless the
full sum demanded for his release be paid.
His punishment, it is expected, will not ex

The dodge "that the Church should net

that outrage in the State is conditioned
BY age, SEE, &r," docs not apply, as
the State does not attempt to legis-
late for the human soul, while the Church
very properly does, claiming that each hu-

and then deliberately deries that soul (if a
Woman's) the opportunity Of expressing a
choice in her spiritual teachers.
We must respectfully decline the writer's
invitation to join him in gaining political

the Clergy and Laity Of this diocese have

may be in store for them in case they en-

That woman had the night to vote

spicing IN the testimony little of late
Is the outside interest in the trial had
egun to wane.
the most unnatural and astounding
part of the whole nasty business, is the
insinuating testimony Of Mrs. Tilton' s
brother. He stated that "he opened the
parlor door in Tilton's house on one oc-
casion, and that Mrs Tilton's face nas
fushed-which left an indelible impress
ion on his mind" Poor fellow the fact
Of his telling of itonly few days before
the trial, that he might be summoned
and become known to fame, will go a
great way towards leaving the indeli'le
impression ON the minds of nine-tenths
of the better class of the people of the
whole world that he is either an idiot,
beast, or a lunat;c Later last week
came the interesting testimony of the
free-love, can-can siSters-Catherin
Carey, a wet-nurse emerging from the
seclusion of hospital, and Mrs. Moulton
who has hitherto kept herself entirely
bustoned up on the Beecher question.
There are slight discrepancies between
her (Carey's) direct testimony and her
cross examination. First she saws the
folding doors at Mrs Tilton's were very
little apart. but on her cross examination
by opposing coarsel she gets hurried up
and says: anybody could see as the
doors were wide open" But she makes
no admission. however, as to hugging
OF kissing Mr.. Beecher, as did Mrs.
Mention. She, (Mrs. Moulton,) ac-
cerdiBg to her own testimony on the
witness stand, has justified the jury in
taking in her testimony in moderate
doses. She claims that both Beecher
and Mrs. Tilton confessed in her pres
ence, and that Beeeher made confess
ion to her personally, in her parlors all
alone, on which occasion she claims to
have cried ''braro," promising her ever
lasting friendship and full pardon for
his poor taste in selecting Mrs. Tilton
in preference to all the free-love-can-can
sisters, and that she might be his next
victim in case he should ever again be
tempted, she rushes up and embraces
and kisses the dear man-that he at
least may have an outside proof of her
admiration.
We would not judge Mrs. Moulton to
harshly, as we do not know but half of
the people would justify her in turning
back to her rcd-headed Moulton and
corroborating his testimony in this trial
(even if she did have to imagine half
she sw to-, rather than to hug and
kiss man who did not reciproeate after
she had made the incipient advances.
If Mr.. Beecher is proven guilty be-
fore that jury, it will be equally certain

it was his first experience, or he would
have known he was Drawing the free
