Accomplishments, Entertainments and ap-
purtenances is already doing duty. this
very blessed day, forsooth, in Plymouth
church. We fatter ourself that the re-

double significance and truthfuily con-
elusive. After rs The deluge; bus we are
no persons organ. nor YET the organ OF
any corporation. influence, vestry, in
dividual or place Of public entertain
ment. No breath of Beecher fans our
sails; no assessments upon the property
and pews of Plymouth church brings
coin or currency to our Golfers. So We
speak our mind freely and with
out any sense of trammel, let o. bias.
And yet We do not feel al liberty to Say
anything which would prejudice Mr..
Beecher's case before the larger jury
whose auditorium is where they can
catch it and whose welcome instructor,
guide, counsel and mental purveyot is
the CARSON DAILY APPEAL. We shall
not wait for The verdict of the long SUI
fefing and patient twelve INTO whose ears
have been poured the inflated periods OF
Tilton, the aeidulous tones of mother-in-
law Morse, the hissinss of the Iago-like
Moulton, the hippant smartness of Bessie
Turner, the emotional utterin9s of his
puzziesome inwardness by the Great
Parson himself. and the mutterinss of
the deep and dismal Bowen; We shall not
wait for their verdict TO express our own,
for We are 10th TO concede any exception

have been hammered by relays of law
yers during five weary. helpless months,
and We are vain enough to think that
we have as good a right to have an opin-
ion or to be without any at all, as they
have. 1t will be miraculous if they
should all be of one mind when their de
deliberations have concluded; it
will be amazing if they do
not differ SO widely over essential
points as to be irreconcilable; and it
seems impossible that they should ever
agree uponIa verdict of guilty" Any
verdict at all will DE that of acquittsl |
The likelihood is hopeless disagree

him-and We confess to 4 too facile |
readiness for harboring a belief in carnal
cussedness under the cover of the cloth. |
But Beecher in our estimation OF him

up to the time of his evidence. There
was then made evident by the very
words of his own lips such vast capa-
city for Lamartine-like flow and gush
of unmasculine, unsexual bosh as never
did and never can come from man
constructed in the requisite fashion for
such exploits as Triton charges him
with. Beecher is an Artesian well OF
words. a fashioDer Of outre, catch-ear
phrases, o man whose sympathetic ra-
ture has been rendered over-sensitive Ly
an everlasting habit of weeping and par

private longinge. hopes and fears. The
cold man of the world has no nigh, to ,

He is much more likely TO be the prey q
