WE ARE in RECEIPT of the full speech
of Hon. John A. Logan, delivered in
the u, S. Senate January 18th. and
18th. and also the mastery speeches
of Hon, Roscoe Conkling of n. Y.
and Hon, Tim o. Howe, on Louisiana
affairs. These speeches are mastery
predictions Of the best minds in the
nation, but as pleasant and palatable to
thc Reform democratic pala5es as hot
soup to kitten. 1t is passing strange
how reticent the incipient reasonable
press of the country have been, in
short, what rigid silence has been
maintained in regard to the speeches
in question.

No change in the manner of doing
anything more strongly marks the pc
culiar genius of this time than the me-
tamorphosis, scarcely an exaggeration
TO call it so, of newspapers. Looking
at the old issues we see no headlines.
No special correspondence. No per-
sonals. No jokes. No reports of am
usements ; much less criticism much
less book notices; much less market
reports. o, easy going, non~news de-
vouring, low-pressure long ago! O,
lolling, lazy, limp, luxurious, lounging
interchangeable days! How many
exhausted editors and gorged readers
sigh for your return, and long to ex-
change, at least for one short day (say

ance for this er-burdening load of
universal intelligence. We are like

the uncertainty of its benefting them:
while at the same time, had they con-

Very respectfully,
j. w. DOUGLASS,
Commissioner.

SUCH MEN as the editor Of the Chris
tian Statesman, Milwaukee, demand
the guilt Of Henry Ward Beecher.
They put themselves in Mr.. Beecher's
place. They surround themselves with
the temptations that are said to have
surrounded him, and they feel within
themselves the impossibilities of resis-
ting those temptations so they say he
is guilty. They do not want the evil
dence. They do not wait until it is
in. There is az elmer consciousness"
that speaks more plainly to them than
any sworn testimony can. So they de-
clare his guilt The heavy burden of
that paper for many weeks has been to
show that there is no possibility that
MIR. Beecher may be proven innocent
1t dosen't accord to him the same
grace it would to common murderer.
Heis condemned at sight, and by
paper that claims to be the only religious
journal in Wisconsin. The Chris
tian' Statesman is making sad mis-
ia Ike. 1t has been a mistake from the
start Hagsey is mistake. He was
intended for bull, But he is making
a fresh mistake, and is losing what
little foothold he had in the State.
There are thousands Of people il Wis
consin who would naturally believe
Mrs. aflton's story sooner than they
would that Of the stsumpet Woodruff
and who would take the testimony of
Kr. Beeeher, backed up By his life and
works before that of theodore Tilton,
who has publicly advocated and CHAM
picned the lewdest woman and n2ost
pexnieious doctrines These people
hope that Mr. Beecher's innocence may
be fully proveR,--and there is every
present reason to believe it Will be es-
tabiished-Snd they Do not reed 8 re-
Egious newspaper that draws Its ingpir-
atioRs from the leBdnegses and vices
Of tbs WeodhGn crew AID their big
