BEECHER

He acquits Mr.. Moulton, under oath,
OF the charge of black-mailing, and with
That acquittal the entire charge of con
spiracy falls, The only conspiracy
was in trumping up these charges of
conspiracy by Beecher's attorneys, as
Beecher himself swears. Beeeher has
shown himself to be the most forgetful
and untrustworthy witness, measuredby
the simple rules of common sense and Of
law, that has yet testified in the case,
unless those negroes can be excepted.
In a carefully prepared written "state-
ment" he purposely created the impress
sion that Mr.. Moulton threatened him
with pistol and thus extorted from him
Mrs. hton's letter Of retraetion. He
swears on the witness-stand that the
showing of that pistol was purely acci-
dental, and had nothing to do with the
surrender of Mrs. Tilton's letter. As q
lie is the intent to deceive, Beecher has
lied once in his own testimony. Beech
er in his statement represented Moulton
as black-mailer, and purposely caused
that impression to 60 abroad. He swears
that he did not 80 regard him--an his
testimony shows that he did not, and
shows that this theory was merely the
trick Of lawyers. He swears that the
lawyers forced him to utter lie number
two. Innocence needs no lawyers tricks.

A joint committee of the Legislature,
appointed to investigate the affairs OF
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
company has been in session here since
my last letter was written. This much
1 may say, that whatever of sympathy
heretofore existed for the miners has
been removed by their recent action.
The people of this city now regard the
miners as murderers, robbers and ar
'soneers, with whom the strong arm Of
the military only should grapple.
A committee of retail coal dealers ap-
peared before the Legislative committee
they stated that thirty thousand men
we're out Of employment because of the
strike; that the business of the Com
monwealth was paralized; that it was
unconstitutional for it to mine coal, and
that the strong arm of the law ought to
interfere and take the power from this
great corporation to mine and sell coal.
Tothis Mr.. Gowan, President of the
Reading, remarked with quiet humor,
that if to sell coal to the poor at 80 q ton
less than the price charged by the
retail committeeman was unconstitution-
al, then he was entirely willing that the
strong arm Of the law should interpose.
Without stopping to argue whether
right or wrongJ / will add that public
sympathy just now is warmly in favor OF
Mr.. Gowen's'c company. J. w. F.

WHAT'S A BONANZA.
BY CARL BRENT.

You wander through the mountains Of
Nevada,
Forlorn, alone, and think how very sad a
Life lot is yours; then strike deep, got
ting madder,
When suddenly, as if yourheart toglad, O
Big golden nugget pops into your pan,
sir
That's bonanza.
Yon purchase, maybe, on an empty
pocket,
With fear and trembling, worthless
shares Of stock; it
Goes straight ahead like honest Davy
Crockett,
And soon gets higher than first-class
rocket;
Then men bow down and call you q
great man, sir
That's bonanza.
You mediate, perhaps, a shtewd inven-
ton,
And give it all your labor and attention,
With pain and toll you wouldn't want
to mention;
At last thought slips in without inten-
tion,
And makes projection of your little plan,
sir
That's bonanza.
You go into the market matrimonial;
Your paths are peace; your paths are
bright and sunny, all;
You meet with beauty, sweetness, love
and money; all
The kindly fairies stand ready to pony
all
Their good gifts up and place them in
your hand, sir
That's bonanza.
A lawyer, maybe, in your Office sitting,
With dreams of debts and duns before
you fitting,
You fear good luck will ne'er begin its
hittings;
In steps a stranger who, in terms most
fitting,
Gives you a fine, fat chancery plea to
answer
That's bonanza.
That lucl's fortune always has been
told us;
Whate'er we do the fates still make and
mold us;
II luck in its embrace at last enfold us,
Filling us full of glory or of gold dust,
So that the worlds respect we can COM
mand, sir
That's bonanza.
