Mr.. Beecher Needs Health of Char
acter as Well as Body.

Mr. BEECHER's Friday evening talk, like
so many Of his utterances since the trial,
was altogether Of himself. That is n theme
OF which he seems never 10 tire nowadays.
His health, his sleep, his appetite, his
spiritual condition. his aims and his doings
generally, made up the burden of his re-
marks.
What would more beneft religion and
his own character would be less talk and
more action. He swore on the Bible that
Mr. MoULrOS maliciously libelled him In
saying that he confessed criminal inter
course with Mrs. TILroN. SO doing he in
duced Grand Jury OF his fellow citizens
TO bring in an indictment OF criminal libel
against Mr. MoULToN This was serious
matter, and inasmuch as the Plymouth
pastor carries the idea that he Ia a man OF
high religious principle, and all the time
leaves on record that oath, he does his best
TO keep enforcing his improved charge
against Mr.. MoULros. Why then does he
not press itf Has not the accused the
right TO meet the imputation against him
and disprove II il he canl Ii 1t the aot Of
a man Of honor and n Christian to procure
such an indictment against former bosom
friend, and then dodge the duty of prov
ing it'll
Mr.. BEECHER feels strong with the
brethren back of him; but their support
will not be enough to sustain him long.
There ia public outside OF Plymouth
Church who like To see fair play, who re-
member the events OF those four years
when he was trembling with fear of ex-
posure, and who find little oongruity he
high health, and the confessions Of medi-
tated suicide of those days when he clung
in anguish aud despair to the ragged edge,
and was ready to step down and out OF his
pulpit TO couciliate those whom he had
wronged. The health Mr.. BEECHER needs
even more than that OF the body IL that OF
character, and this he can never get until
he has met the whole case against him and
overcome IT,
He talks TO his paTrisnns IA II his was a
soul clean of offence, but he knows that
outside OF them, in his own city, the ma
jority OF pc ople, including his brother
ministers, refuse TO accept HE own oath
that he is guiltless man. How long Is
this effrontery TO last ? Lips so generally
believed TO be smarting with perjurcd
oaths are not ones from which serious men
wish 10 hear the sacred Name and the
law OF truth and charity.
Mr.. BEEcHER talks and prays in Plymouth
Church rs If he walked with GoD In espe-
cial nearness, but he cannot by speech OF by
prayer destroy that great mass of recorded
evidence which cries out against him, nor
can he silence that array OF unexamined
witnesses whose knowledge of his trans
gressions Ia not yet brought out To con
denim his pretentous godliness. Mr..
BEEcHER is playing the part Of defiance,
but he cannot long enact the role with
Mrs. TnroN, Mrs. BRADSHAW, Mr.. and Mrs.
RICHARDS HENRY C. Bowen, and Miss
SUDAN Ii. ANTHONY, living witnesses to the
fact that the awful name OF GoD, which he
so lightly uses, has by him been profaned
by q false oath.
Religion cannot rest quiet and see her
affairs so desecrated. Let this man cleanse
himself before he handles sacred things.

Pursue the Plunderers Of Brooklyn.

Mayor HUNTER, In an interview with
SUN reporter, herewith published, recog-
nizes the truth Of what we have said re-
garding the depredations OF the Brooklyn
Ring. He thinks, however, that theplunder-
ing of the city. which was carried on under
the system OF commissions composed of
men from both political parties, has, since
he came into office ON July l, 1874, been
pretty thoroughly broken up. All the
commissions have gone out except the
"mere shred OF one, and TO that he
gives only short life. Last year the debt
was slightly increased, but this year no
new cause of debt remains except the
bridge. That, however, Is a mine in which
vast amount of money may be sunk.
Starting out with an estimated expense of
only Ave millions, II is sure to cost four
times that cum. and probably will not DO
done before much more than that great
amount has been expended.
Under the present charter OF the city,
according to Mayor HUNTER, no increase
of the debt can be made without consent
Of the Legislatures and he rightly esti-
mates the great importance TO the citizens
OF Brooklyn to now elect only such q
Mayor, Common Council, and m EN- beers of
the Legislature rs are absolutely beyond
the influence Of the Ring. We join him In

they are chiefly solicitous to cover their

will not soon again dare to use the city
treasury. Still, they must be watched
with suspicion
Mayor HUNTER gives n statement of the
city debt which he says lie accurate. II is
substantially that which The SUN has often
made. As TO the county debt, which
he would deduct, we fail to find any true
reason for not including 1t in the city debt.
However Incurred, IL is lien on the
property of the taxpayers of Brooklyn.
Mayor HUNTER touches n vital matter
when he speaks of the method of pursuing
the plunderers of the city. They followed
n crnftiIy laid plan of assault on the trea-
sury, aud now boldly declare their ability
to Withstand any proceedings the people
may conduct against them to secure the
ittuiu vi tne fortunes maze OUT OF tne
offices with which they were Entrusted.
The jo,S-hcry has been by fraudulent con-
trncts, excessi-a charges, straw bids, ana
percentages on work done. The task of
investigating these street-p>v1ng jobs and
contracts Mayor HUNTER thinks can only
be undertaken by legislative committee
This is matter TO which we refer GOV
TILDEr. Herein is opened up n field for
inquiry likely 20 be AZ fruitful of results
in it's way Ms the investigation Of the canal
frauds which his commission has SO sue
oessfully pursued.
The people of Brooklyn know who their
plunderers are, and they will call on Gov.
Tn.DEN aud the next Legislature to help
them in bringing them to punishment
Messrs. KINGSLEY, KINsEI.LA, KEENEY,
STRANAHAN, FOWLER 4 Co. should be
brought ~ the bar and tried. Until this
Ia done, we cannot altogether share Mayor
HUNTERS hopeful view of the future of
Brooklyn.
