An Improbable Story.

The first effect of Beecher's intrepid and fer
vent denials OF the testimony against him was
to make favorable impression in his behalf,
but now that the colder light Of legal analysis
is brought to bear upon his evidence il APP
pears less convincing. For instance, after
Tilton confronted Beecher on the night of De-
cember 80, 1870, with his charge whatever it
was and read his wifes confession, whatever
il was Beecher went to Mrs. Tilton's bedside.
Accepting his own account of that interview,
it is perfectly plain that, before it was over,
he was convinced that her confession had been
extorted from sick woman by husband
who knew its falsity. According to Mr.,
Beecher's evidence, therefore, he knew when
he went home that Friday night, that Theo-
dore Tilion had been guilty of as develish a
piece o. malignity as can well be conceived -
the forcing his almost dying wife to sign a
false charge of crime against her pastor-a
piece Of malignty which there is thus far no
pretense on Mr.. Beecher's part that Tlton
ever disayowed, or apologized for. As con
concisely put by the Springfield Republican,
the difficulty OF Mr. Beecher's defence is that
II requires people to believe that, after having
discovered, on December 30, 1870, that Tiltou
had been gniiy of the most Infamous ofense
against him-an offense for which il ifas moi
been claimed that he ever expressed the slight
est regret-he wrote of him, two days later,
that lie would have been better inan in my
circumstances than | have been;H that, the
next month, he characterized him as 'capa-
BILE of the nobest things" that, while his
base conduct Vas flesh in mind he kissed
him and sat on his knee and finally, thai
for years he devoted his utmost efforts-'mort
thought and Judgment and earnest desire than
ever did for myself a hundred .fold'--to re.
instate an infamous wretch in position tina
it would have been crying shame for him te
occupy.

GENERAL GORDON AND THE VICE PREsInENcY.
lit has already been announced that Gener-
al John B. Gordon, of George, has expressed
his uualterable intention not TO permit the use
of his name for the Presidency on the
democratic ticket. A representative of the
Atlanta Herald, having interviewed General
Gordon on this subject, he said:
| will not, under any circumstances, allow
the use OF my name in connection with
the Vice Presidency. Even il ! were nomna-
ted, | should withdraw my name. My reasons
for this statement that believe that IA
Southern man on the ticket would weaken it !;
and as much as personal ambition might
tempt me TO yield to the partial suggestions of
my friends, would not, for all the honors in
the gift OF the American people, feel that | bad

support of that ticket on whose success oe-
ponds the future peace and prosperity of my
country. have but one objecf-ihat is the
re-establishment of harmony, of goodwill aud
of good government. To this end also all
things shall be secondary. We occupy very
much the position assigned in the East after
the crusades, Richmond Cour de Lion. For
nearly one hundred Years afterwards, when
horse would shy around BUSH the rider
would ask if he saw a Richard and mothers
would brighten their babes into quiet by tell
ing them Richard was eoming. Just so these
radicals are attempting 10 brighten the North
by constantly narrowing them with rebel S
ghost. This will not have its effect long with
people of sense in any section, however Yet
so powerful is this feeling at present that no
Southern man, who has his country's good
at heart, will allow himself placed in any po-
sition calculated 10 keep alive these hurtful
passions

ON THE DEATH OF MOSES FOWLER.

Thou art gone, thou art gone, in the prime of
thy life,
From this world and lis cares, its sorrows and
strife,
To where the light of His love sheds a lus,re
around,
And truth in its splendor and glory abound.
Far away from thy kindred thy lot has been
cast,
But oft have we heard thee recnr to the past,
To the days of thy childhood, around the
hearth-stone,
OF the joys and delights Of thine own native
home.
Thy summons was sudden, thy notice how
short,
Cnt off IN moment. without even a thought,
But The same Mighty Power that created thee,
will
In mercy protect thee and be with thee still
No father, no mother, thine eyelids TO close,
Nor follow thy form to its final repose,
No brother, no sister, TO watch Thy last breath,
AS thou passed 90 through the valley aud
shadow of death. !"
Thou art gone, thou art gone, and no more on
this earth,
Wilt thou mingle with friends in the land of
thy birth,
But in that pnrer cline where the weary ones
rest,
We trust and believe thou ART happy and best
Farewell and may He who looks down from
His throne,
And tempers the wind to the lamb that
is shorn,
BE thy guide and thy stay and ever thy friend
Through all coming ages, and world without
