STATE AUDITOR,

We heartily endorse the follow
ing from the Rochester Posi- in refer
ence to the denomination of the Hon.
o. P. Whitcomb as State Auditor:
1--WE favor the denomination of Mr..
Whitcomb because he has shown himself a
thoroughly competent officer, and one
whose integrity can not be doubted. TAX
ing the Office at time when the charges
against his predecessor, Mr. McIlrath, had
created general belief that the land de-
partment at least, had been loosely if net
criminally, managed, he has SO administer
ed it as to place it above suspicion
in the public estimation.
He has also in the discharge of his duties
as Auditor, looked closely after the public
interests and so far as his suggestions could
60 and as his administration Of the laws en-
acted by the Legislature can extend, has
made an energetic and conscientious attempt
to reduce the system of taxation to fairer
and more equable basis than heretofore.
Whatever reforms have been made in the
system are dueto his recommendations and
it is to his continuance in the position he
now fills that We may look for such modif-
cations and Improvements in the plan Of
collecting the revenues as shall give US a
perfect system"

THE PROSPECT.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, has this
concerning the condition Of business
at present, and the prospects Of the
fall:
"The times have been very gloomy
during the past year all over the
United States, because, as rule, the
raising of neither cotton nor wheat has
paid a profit. Of course when the az
ricultural interests suffer, all others
must suffer in some degree. At pres.
ent the prospect for better prices for
produce in the autumn are generally
conceded. The devastation by the
floods in France and Austria, and the
severe drought in southern Russia as
sure some demand for our wheatfrom
the continent. 1t is stated in the
Mark Lane Express that in England
and Germany only do the crops look
we'll.
"The northwestern states, from pres
ent indications, are likely to have a
bountiful supply Of wheat, and if the
price is reasonably fair, the business
activity in the autumn will not only
drive away the prevailing dullness,
but will give a thrift and a movement
to all branches of manufactures such
as have not been known since thepan
ic of 1873"

SIX PERSONS DROWNED.

The Chicago Euening Journals spec
ial from Des Moines, Iowa, says: On
Saturday evening as a large party
were returning from Greenfield, Ad-
air county, to their homes in the coun-
try, they attempted to cross Middle
river,which had been swollen by recent
rains, when a wagon containing Mr..
A. Montgomery, wife, daughter and
son, and Mrs. Thomas Montgomery
and her three children, and j. R. Ba.
ker, was overturned and the occupants
plunged into the torrent. Mrs. Thos
Montgomery and her babe went down
and were not. seen afterwards. Mr.
Montgomery chung to the horses for
awhile, with a boy in his arms, but
was compelled toilet go and both were
drowned. Meantime Mr.. Baker, who
had been swimming to the opposite
shore, with another boy in his arms
became exhausted within four feet Of
the bank and was carried down by the
torrent. The other people were res
cued by neighbors.

There is a family at Sandy Hill

There is family at Sandy Hill,
New York, which has very practi-
cal way Of viewing events in life and
dealing with sudden emergencies.
The 14-yea%old daughter of this fam
lily, who has been addicted to dime
novels and other sentimental gush,
eloped with school. boy, got married
to him, and then returned with him
to be forgiven, after the manner Of
the lovers in the dime-novels. The
parents, however, were not like the
parents in the dime-noyels, for the
mother soundly spanked the girl, and
the boy on his way out of the house
WAS kicked eighteen times by the fa-
Their. AS neither of them had ever
read anything of this sort in novels,
the denouem,ent was agenuine surprise
to them. The welcome of the fond
parents, however, is said to have
worked like charm, and both the
lovers are cured Of their folly. Love
may laugh at the locksmith; but,
when it comes to spankings and No,
II boots, love can raise at best only
a very sicklv smile.

DISAGREED.

The end of the Beecher-Tilton trial
came last Friday morning when the
jury, being brought into court, inform
ed Judge Nelson that they had
found it impossible to agree upon a
verdict, and they were thereupon
discharged. They stood nine for
Beecher and three for Tilton. The
first ballot and the last were the
same, although some of theintermediate
ballots had differed, the vote at one
time being seven to five and at anoth-
er eleven to one.
Both sides claim the verdict as a
victory, but it is hard to see what
gain Tilton has made. He brought
a suit for damages and failed to get
them, the jury, by a three-fourths
majority, saying that he had not made
out a case. The bitterness Of the
Tilton organs shows their disappoint-
ment with the result. The New York
San fairly gnashes its teeth in its rage
over the failure of the jury to bring
in a verdict for Tilton. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Beecher's friends feel we'll
satisfied. The following dispatch
was received by Mr.. Beecher on Fri
day from his senior counsel:
To Henry w. Beecher: Do not hest
tate to regard the result as a complete tri-
umph of truth. A few days will show that
the dissent is but emphasis of the real YER
dict. hurry off to Windsor, to be back
next week. Ny profound homage to Mrs.
Beecher, and my hearty congratulation to
you.
WILLIAM NJ. EvARrs.
It is said that further suits will be
prosecuted by the one side or the 9TH
er. Against anything Of this kind a
long-suHering people will protest. To
again open the Aood-gates of scandal
and pour out anew the streams of
vileness which for weeks have covered
the face of the land would be an out
rage against moral health and pub
lie decency far beyond quiet endur-
ance. Let the thing alone. As to
the guilt or innocence of Mr.. Beecher
the people of this country have made
up their minds, and it would be scarce
ly possible to now produce any testi-
mony which would alter the opinion
Of one man out of every thousand.
As to the position of theodore Tilton
in the estimation of all decent people,
nothing could sink it to a lower depth.

PLYMOUTH Church voted unani-
mously last evening to increase Mr..
Beecher's salary from $4,000 to
100000 per year. The meeting was
large and enthusiastic one. 1t is
generally understood among the con-
gregation that this enormous salary
is only for this year, and is mainly
intended to help defray the expenses
of the trial.

The Chicago Tribune says with
reference to the information derived
by its special grasshopper CORES
pondent that "he finds that the por-
tons of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and
Missouri which have been the prin-
cipal sufferers embrace a district
equal to about 10000 square miles,
in which from a half to three-faurths
Of the growing crops have been de-
stroyed, involving the loss of sixty
days labor of about 100000 people
engaged in agricultural pursuits. Re.
planting has taken place once, twice,
and thrice in some Of the districts,
and, now that the grasshoppers have
disappeared, fair crops are looked for
if the weather is favorable and the
fall frosts are late. There is no des-
titution or suffering this year, and in
those portions Of the States not devas-
ted the crop yield will be larger than
ever before"
