New York Slnugglers,

Indictments are now pending agninst
the great firm of H. B. Clatflin d Co.,
for receiving smuggled silks. The COY
ernment official, Col. Des Anges, has
been convicted of conniving at snug
Cling, whilst the firm of II. B. Clattlin
s co. have been indicted for having in
their possession goods which they knew
20 be smuggled. The two charges are
thus wholly apart. At the same time,
the conviction Of the ex-Inspector shows
that the goods in question were really
smuggled, so that the only question left
Is, whether or not II. B. Claft1in & Co.
knew this. We may rest assured that
the point will be fairly decided, ana
that neither high position nor n vui,
gat desire to smirch good name, will
play any part in preventing justice.
THE smuggling and the whisky rings
must both learn that the National Gov
ernmcnt is stronger than they.

Mr.. BEEcHER FIGHTS CIRCUs.-The
Chicago Inb'mc says that sometime since
w. w. Cole proprietor of Coles New York
and New Orleans circus, conceived the idea
of lamiliarizng his countrymen with the
faces of the principals in the Brooklyn
scandal. He therefore had wax figures
made in New York representing the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs Beecher, Thco-
dorc Tilton, and Elizabeth. 1t appears,
however, that Mr.. Coles enterprise was
understood in New York, and the figures
were followed to Quincy by special detec
tive. Before showing them at Burlington
Cole was notified by Beechers attorney that
legal steps would be taken to prevent the
exhibition Of the wax figures of the Ply
mouth pastor and his wife, but the show
man diSregardcd the notice and the figures
were exhibited, whereupon Beecher's attor-
ney obtained an injunction torbidding the
exhibition of Mr. and Mrs. Becchcr. a
hearing of the case is to be held in few
days, Cole insisting on his right to exhibit
the figures.
