Another Letter from Mrs. Moultonto
Plymouth Church.

New YORK, December 3.-The SIN
says that Mrs. Moulton has addressed a
letter to the members of Plymouth
Church, in reply to the one addressed to
her and adopted by them on Friday
evening. She says: 81 do not believe
there was any one more faithful to Ply
mouth church than | was, up to the time
| became acquainted with the great wick
ness which Mr.. Beecher had committed
IN relation with Mrs, Tilton. After that
it did not seem possible for me to go to
church to hear him preach and take the
sacrament from his hands, and | stopped
going. could not, with any degree of
satisfaction, hear him preach OF purity
and Christianity while | knew of his
secret agony and his acknowledged
but hidden sin, and that | did not go
elsewhere for worship and the sacra-
ment was almost wholly owing to him.
lie begged me again and again to come
back, and when | said could not till he
had acknowledged his sin and atoned
for it as far rs he could, he was sad and
depressed even to tears. Yet if l went
away from Plymouth Church to any
other while he was all the time coming
to our house, 1t would have attracted at.
tention, aroused suspicion and embar-
rassed him very much, as well as my
husband, who was then try
ing hard, under Mr.. Beccher's
constant agency, to keep the awful secret
from the public. should not know
what to say if asked the reason and it
might be the means of doing great injury
to those whoml wanted to shield. Mr..
Beecher too, had moro than any other
represented the Christian religion, and to
bring reproach upon him seemed an IN
jury, so | abstained from going clswhere
lest 1t should harm and indirectly bring
things to light which he was all the
while fearing would become known
and which did not belong to
me to disclose. Mr. b, ought to be the
last man in the world to b.ame me for
what did in his behalf. He knew |
could not speak the truth more perfectly
than | have spoken here, if l was
standing this morning before God 5
throne ofjudgment. When Mr., Tilton's
name was dropped by you two years ago
told Mr.. Bcecher that was afraid you
would sometime want to drop mine in
the same way, and he then most earnestly
assured NE that it should never be done,
and that he would see to it himself that
| never should be in any way injured by
his church. | really do not

"ONS hOh DNsN,O'H W NEa'
At the business meeting of Plymouth
Church tonight, Mr.. Searmsn said he
had received 'tter from VIM. L. West,
which he pres ast 4 all the members Of
the church had ran 4, as it was published
the same day he received 1t.
On motion of Mr.. Beechcr the letter
was laid on the table.
S.V. White offered the following res
olutions:
Resolved, First, That irrespective of the
contents of the letter addressed to it, this
church considers the publication of such
letters by their authors in advance of
their actual presentation TO the church,
in meeting assembled, us IL fragrant and
presumptively intentiontional insult, and
its own sell-respect will not permit this
church to consider any letters thus sent
and published by one of Its members,
except for purposes of exercising suitable
discipline upon members so offending.
Second, That the contents of the letter
now received from Mr.. West, if uncx.
planned by him, constitute, in the
judgment of this church, an az
grayation of his acknowledged
offence in publishing it in advance of its
presentation to the church, and the d.
mand by one member Of the church for
the investigation into the charges against
another member, which charges the
member making the demand does not,
himself vouch for many way, is termed
by the church a violation Of propriety
and clear evasion of just responsibility,
while the demand that such alleged
charges should be submitted in the first
instance to council before the church
has had any opportunity to investigate
them and before they have been, in fact,
made to the church is SO plain Il violation
Of Congregational usage and Christian
dcccncy as to excite grave doubts of the
sincerity and good lAth of such requi-
site.
Third-That the Examining Commit
tce Is hereby instructed to summon viii
liam +. West before them at an early
day, and to seek from him satisfactory
explanation of his conduct in these mat
tiers, and if no explanation is received
from him, changing the aspect of his
case as presented by his own letter, to
advise him to make forthwith full and
ample apology, ard in case of his refusal to
comply with the advice Of the commit
tee, they are further instructed to take
such prompt action rs the good of the
church may require in the premises. :! 8

He Used TO Weep

at our house, and heep shame upon him
self for his great sin, and how after he
spoke to my husband and myself of the
utter despair in which he would be cX-
cept for our comfort and help, l cannot
see how it was possible Tor him to stand
up and read this letter to me in your
presence without his very soul giving
way. Mrs. Moulton refers TO the
other parts of the letter, and says there
are great many things which are incor-
rect and injurious, some of which she
mentions as follows: you say that as
far as the Church or the committee knew
! had never made any statement i'm
pugning the purity of Mr.. Beechcr ex-
cept in court of justice, but in that very
court | had stated under oath that | had
made precisely the same statement which
| have since made in my protest to one of
the leading members and officers of your
Church, telling him Mr.. Beecher's sin
was adultery, and that he and Mrs. Til
ton had both con fessed it to me. II the
statement was slander, had declared
the fact of my uttering the SANDER before
the world, and might, months ago have
been called to account for it. | never
knew before, that false swearing in a
court of justice Is an offence which the
Church Of Christ is unwilling or unable
to punish, and if you think that | did, in
that public manner and IN that solemn
hour, in order to injure the minister
whom had loved as much as any of you,
and whom | had done my best to uphold
and comfort Tor three dismal years,
through the time of an anguish which he
was carefully hiding from you, you would
all the more likely try and condemn in
stend of dropping my name.

Not "Fft 10 breathe the AIR of
HPaYen!''

The Rebel Senator from the whip
ping State of Delaware, one
Bayard, in a late speech, hints at the
assassination ofSheridan, and among
other intemperate disloyal remarks,
said: SHERIDAN was not fit to breathe
the air of heaven" Gen. Logan
thus rebuked his insolent remarks:
'.If he was not, he Nogan) ap-
pealed to heaven to name a man in
this land who was. If Sheridan,
who did as much as any man beneath
the shining sun to preserve the Re
public, was not fit to breathe its air,
who in the name of Heaven was?
He Nogan) could see in the canvass
now passing before the Senate what
would transpire when the Democrats
should obtain. the control of the
country. Sheridan would have to
90 out then. Grant must pass
away. All the men who helped to
save the Republic would have go out,
and the Democrats would bow them
selves to their Earlys, their Breck-
inridges, and such men who had
tried to destroy the nation. He
thought it would be long time in
this country before little indiscreet
remark in a dispatch would cause
the American people to forget the
services of Phil. Sheridan; and gen
tlemen who undertook to destroy his
fair name by such language as had
been used here did not understand
the hearts of the American people.

When Advertise.

There is no season of the year
when it is safe to discontinue adver-
tising.
When business is dull it is needed
most and should be most energetic
ally used, because people are most
attracted at all times to the houses
who take most pains to invite their
trade, and advertisers then get the
largest share of what is doing.
Dull times" it is said, ''are the
best for advertisers. Because, when
money is tight and the people are
forced to economic, they always read
the advertisements to ascertain who
sells the cheapest and where they
can trade to the best advantage.
If your goods have special seasons,
build up a name. for them when out
of season; and that reputation will
largely aid your sales when the seas
on arrives for putting them into
market. If "no pent up" season linn
its the demand for your wares, it is
clear that there is no time when you
can iudiciously withdraw from the
public eye your announcements

Letter from Kansas.

STANwooD, Leavenyorth Co., Kan, !
Jan. 80, 1875.
EDITOR News Dear Sir: I have
just had the pleasure of reading two
numbers of your valuable paper, Nos.
80 and 40, in which I see your solic-
it correspondence, and agree to cor
rect and put it in readable shape.
Under these considerations perhaps
an item from the Grasshopper coun-
try would interest some of your
many readers.
Our last years experience has been
a terrible drawback to the reputa-
ton of Kansas. Our Corn crop was
almost an entire ,ilure. Chintz bugs
and drouth injured it seriously. It
began to dry up about the time the
ears were setting, and to complete
the job the Grasshoppers arrived
here from the Northwest, very hun
CRY, and settled the corn question in
short order, leaving the farmers to
depend for the support of themselves
and stock on what wheat and oats
the bugs left them, which in some
sections was little, though generally
wheat was good. Prairie hay is the
main dependence of stock, in Kan
sas this winter. Stock is doing much
better than would be expected from
being confined to dry prairie hay
alone. The prospect IS that they will
come out all right next spring.
think that there will be but little
suffering among the people of Leaven-
worth county for the necessaries of
life. A great many, no doubt, will
learn the value of bread before
new crop grows. But starvation IS
not to be thought of here. There is
and Will be great deal of suffering
farther west of us, in the more new
ly settled portions of the State. A
great many have left, and many more
would leave if they could get away.
We are sorry to see this state of
things, but it cannot be helped. The
soil is rich, climate good, and taking
everything into consideration, rather
a good country to live in. But when
three plaques combine in one season
against the farmer, it is somewhat
discourageing to new comers. Those,
however, who have been here for sew
eral years, and have seen the bounti-
full productions of the soil in favorable
seasons, have nerved themselves up
to extra exertions for new year.
Hundreds of acres of ground are al
ready plowed for the new crop. Two
years ago we sent seed corn to Hi
nois. Now we will have to ask it
back. Nothing like being neighborly

Letter from IOWa.
DEAN STATION, Appanoose Co.. Iowa, I
Ian q 1879

EDITOR News Sir: Thinking it
may interest some of the readers of
the News to hear from this part Of
the country, I will drop you a few
lines.
This county is in the southern
part of the State, and this place is
located on the bottoms of the Chair
ton river The land seems to be
very productive. / am informed the
county is about two thirds pfsilrie,
bnt this part has plenty of timber
The timber is chiefly linn and cotton
wood. The trees grow from two to
four feet in diameter, and the lumber
is worth S1.50 at the mill. There is
some walnut, birch, oak, elm, and
plenty of hickory. Very extensive
coal mines are situated two miles
from this place; coal is selling at 6
cents at the bank.
The town of Moulton, five miles
north of this place, is a beautiful
railroad town, on the prairie, with
two railroads running through it
the n. NJ. and B. and S. w. Only
four years ago there were but three
houses in the place, and there was
no railroad Now it numbers about
thirteen hundred inhabitants, and
has two railroads, two Touring mills,
three churches, .(Methodist, Presby
terian and Christian, better known
as Campbellites,) one savings bank,
hotels, a large woolen factory, and
various other business houses.
And now as to what we sometimes
hear in Ohio, concerning the wind
here. will say, so far, I have not
seen as much wind here since my ar
rival as we have in Ohio, but of
course on the prairie it is a little
worse. The soil is black and sandy,
and as for mud, we have none. Our
roads are dry and dusty, and I am
told they usually keep this way all
winter. We have some little snow
on the ground, but the sun is shin
ing brightly now.
I would respectfully invite any of
my old friends to drop me a line at
any time from the old home, and 1
will try and return the compliment.
Yours with respect,
