Beecher-a conspiracy based upon wilful and
persistent perjury-or Mr.. Beecher and his
friends, to save their client have resorted to
the same disastrous and lamentable expe-
dent. What we, therefore, admire in the
action of Mr.. Beecher's counsel in dealing
with Loader and Price is, that they are be-
ginning to bring us to the real work of this
trial The scandal suit is at an end so far as
Its moral results are concerned There is
nothing that can be written or said that Will
change the minds of the people as to Henry
Ward Beecher and Theodore Tilton. The
people have made up their minds upon this
subject. But somethingis is due justice. If the
scandal suit dies away without investigation
of these charges of perjury or if the trial for
perjury is to be confined simply to Loader
and Price, then we shall feel that justice has
not been served
The absence of any apparent motive on the
part of these two wretched men is not re-
markable to those who study human nature.
A prurient love of notoriety, the lust for ~
ing, are moral diseases. The wonder is that
we have not had them, as in the Tichborne
case, at an earlier stage of the case. The
fact that in the two most celebrated cases of
modern jurisprudence-the Tichborne case
in England and the Beecher case in America
there should have been phenomena SO strlk-
ingly similar as the perjury of Jean Luie in
favor of the claimant and the perjury of
Loader and Price in favor of Mr.. Tilton, is o
peculiar phase of this wonderful trial. We
trust that the perjuries of these "upholster-
ers," as well as that of other and moro con-
spicuous witnesses, will be punished as Sc
verely as English justice punished Jean Luie.

Northern and southern courte.ies.


Nothing could be more grateful than this
treatment bestowed upon the Representatives
OF the Southern Army who went to Boston
during the Bunker Hill celebration. They
were overwhelmed with courtesies and honor
and every evidence of kindness and fraternal
feeling The effect of this has not been LOST
upon the South. Governor Kemper, of Vir
ginia, has given public expression to his feel
ing, and he regards the treatment by Boston
of Virginians ''who went with the smell of
Confederate battles on their garments" as "a
step toward inaugurating the true work of the
Centennial period, the work which is to ex.
tinguish all sectional animosities forever u
The undervalue of these Centennial iestivi
ties, and especially of the exhibition which ia
TO be held in Philadelphia next year, is aply
expressed by Governor Kemper. All that we
want to remember of the war is its devo-
ton, chivalry and the romance which always
surrounds these tremendous strifes. Any re-
membranes that implies bitterness or anger
is an act of moral treason to the Union. The
South has no greater enemy than the states
man who would endeavor to revive the
smouldering fires OF secession, while the
North has no more mischievous leader than
the implacable republican who insists upon
brandishing the fiery tresses of war and
radicalism in every political campaign.

Paris Greon and the Potato Bug.

Since it was ascertained that Paris green
was OH effective agent for the destruction of
the potato bug experiments to determine the
effects of the poison upon vegetation and upon
the vegetables are of great Importance. AS is
proper the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington is taking the lead in these investiga-
tons, and the report for May and June con-
tains some interesting results of the expert
ments of Mr.. William McMurtre, the chemist
of the department In the case of Paris
green Mr.. McMurtrie has ascertained that
vegetation is not seriously affected under the
limit of 500 milligams for the quantity of soil
used, which was equivalent to 145. G grains
per cubic foot, or 906.4 pounds per acre, cal
culating for depth of one foot Above this
limit the effect of the poison was in propor-
ton to the quantity of the compounds
used. These facts argue, Mr.. McMurtrie
thinks, against the possibility of the
accumulation of sufficient arsenic by
regular applications of the Paris green
in the quantities recommended for the de-
struction of the Colorado potato beetle. The
quantities recommended are-tor Paris green,
about 5UO pounds per acre; Tor arsenlte of
potassa, about 400 pounds per acre; and for
arseniate of potassa, about $50 pounds per
acre. These experiments seem to prove that
the arsenic cannot be absorbed and assimi-
lated by the plant in the economy of growth,
and from some specimens supplied by Mr.. ].
S. Nixon, reputable chemist of Chambers
burg, Pa, and an enthusiastic student of the
effect of poisons upon the plant and the vege-
table, it seems to be satisfactorily determined
that the prese1ce of arsenic need not be
feared in the potato This inquiry ought to
be carried still further; for if the scourge
which threatens to destroy the esculent upon
which all the world has learned to depend
can be eradicated without injury either to the
growth of the plant or the vegetable itself,
the pest may soon become comparatively
harmless

Tho Inundations I'm France.

The figures that como to us giving the esti-
mate of the damage caused by the inundations
in the valley of the Garonne are appalling
enough. We ere inclined to accept them
with reserve. A despatch the other day told
us that property to the extent of sixty MILL
ions of dollars had been lost. Now we find
that in two cities alone the damage is twenty
four millions. We have no doubt there has
been vast loss, but these figures are in somo
respects incredible. The principal crop in
the valley Of the Garonne is wine. The vine
yards are generally on high places, which
would not be reached by the food. In the
grea. foods of 1856, in the valleys of the
Rhone and the Loire, which were more disas-
trous in their operation than these recent un-
fortunate occurrences, the loss did not reach
so high a figure as that which is expressed by
our kilograms. The wheat crop, which
suffered so much in the former
floods, is not largely cultivated in
the Garonne country. The real loss,
therefore, would be apt to fall upon bridges,
town property and material works within the
reach of the rising tides. If the figures we're
placed at twenty-five millions Of francs or
five millions of dollars they would be intel
ligible.. At the Same time the loss of life has

A QUESTION FOR THE NEXT CANVASS. The

assumed recently is the tendency of the

The funeral of Miss Louise Billings was
attended from the residence of her father
Jesse L. Billings, esq, on Saturday after
noon. A large concourse of people were
present from Rutland, Clarendon and other
towns,
The religious services were conducted by
Rev. DIR. Harris, rector of Trinity church.
A brief but highly appropriate funeral adj
dress was delivered At the conclusion OF
the service an opportunity was afforded
of looking upon the face of the dead, after
which the casket was removed to Inc
bearse and the funeral train formed, which
numbered 7s carriages. The burial was
made in the family lot at Evergreen ceme-
tery. at which the commital was read by
Rev. DIR. Harris.
The mother of Miss Billings died when
sbe was but n few weeks old, and her re-

While the bell tolled sadly they deposited

Barnes Champion and Comptroller Levin

lie works, were filed against the proprie-
tors of the Baltimore American. The suits
are for alleged libel in two or more articles
appearing in the American of recent date,
relative to the manner of purchase of site,
contract and manner of award, for the
erection of house of correction. 1t 10
claimed that the publications reflect on the
compliments as public officers. The dam.
