DR.. Bacon's crisp and incisive letter in an
other column reviews his own relations to
some phases of the Beecher ease, shows how
and why Mr. Bcecber has right to be con-
sidered innocent until he is proved guilty. and
very suggesdvely hints at what he regards as
the shortcomings of the defense, which would
still make any triurnplal reception in Brook
Ign, in bis estimation, premature. IN il word,

In the British House of Commons yesterday
Mr.. Disraeli was Instrumental in causing the
House to give precedence to the Government
Shipping bill, which he praised to tho detrl-
nent of Mr.. Plimso!l's measure. This indi-
Gates that it is the policy of the Government
to defeat the bill which is likely to be OF most
practical value in furtherancc of the proposed
reform.

One of the interesting incidents of the Quarantine
investigation was the remark dropped the other day
by representative Of one of the steamship COM
panic, hat hc did not include in the gross sum paid
to secure a reduction of the hcad-monoy small
SUMS Of 100. 300 or $500, paid ut different times
to persons who said they wanted To- give it To the
Committee at Albany The gentleman who said
this is at the head of one OF the leading
companies. and is long and favorably known in
commercial circles. The inference il inevitable
that q man who would to do n dishonest act in
his own business thinks il no harm Ia bribc lcgiS-
laors. and this fact throws considerable light "a
branch of this subject that ha> received too little at
tention Surely the briber is is deJcrving of place
in the pillory the man bribei The guilt of the
tcnpter surely equals that of the tempted and
cXcees i. if the former be- Christian merchant
and the latter either lobby thief graduated into
the Legislature or n country member who has come
TO Albany ready to he ruined. II these small GUMS
were, ~ Is tIian likely, demanded by" strkcrs'
in behalf of the onnittecs. as is less probable
were extorted without the knowledge of the Com
mtiees, the only course for decent aud honest men
was resist and expose matchmaking by every
means in their power. Neither resistance nor ex-
posture could have been futile, and both would have
been fatal 10 the strikers projects. But in political
matters the mercantile spirit is always tnid. The
Ncw-York bankers gave a second term of Grant,
and New-York business men, in their cOwaIdce per-
potuate lobbying aud corruption.
There is some truth though not much in what
Mcssrs. Alyoid and Mcclure LAY about the habit

The capture Of four of the men who have
been engaged in the manufacture of counterfeit
trade dollars and other coin in this city was a
very important arrest and the officers OF the
Secret Service Department should have some
recognition for their skill. 1t is all the more
important from the fact that tho trade dollar
was so well initiated as to have even the
"ring" of tho genuine and 10 surprise, IL not
deceive even, the officials at the Assay Office.

has had its reward. An English paper announces
that during the deliberations Of the Tilton-Beechcr
jury, reporter hired garnet opp site their room

methods. 1t darky hints that it was by this means
that he obtained his knowledge of the religious COM

The journey Of the American Team from
Edinburgh to London, their first visit to VIM

and demand an investigation. THIS brought the
explanation, which was that the mysterious ~"
meant Good to vote for it without any money!
l. C., OH its morits This satisfactory, and there
was no further trouble. II was not until after
tho Legislature had adjourned that No. discovered
that the innocent &C" had received $500 for the
d5 votes number of which at least he had secured
without the Use of the money, and that No. was
supposed of course to have received tho $l0O
which No. 2 pocketed. 1t wis not very long ago
that two well-knOwn and wealthy citizens OF
Albany, who bear famous name, charged SooO
for few minutes statement Of a case to a conf
mittee. Probably they have allowed or will allow 1t
to be understood that they were compelled to divide
with the Chairman, who was in fact thoroughly
honest man. There are innumerable tricks like these
in the lobby A lobbyist member knowing how
q certain member stands particular bill, agrees
to control his VOTE approaches him before tho roll Is
called talks on some unmportant topic, and claims
the money. The lobbyist gives half the money no
receives or none of it. He personal influence
and resorts to thousand similar expedients. But
these are merely the exceptions Of lobbying Tho
main business is transfer of money from the first
hand To the third, for lobbyists success is as de-
pendent as any ones on his reputation for keeping
his engagements.

The Health Commissioners yesterday resolved
to ask the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment for an appropriation Of $4,000 in order
to continue the work of the special vaccinatng
corps through August and September. The Com
mis- ;ionors have shown so much energy united
with discretion in dealing with smallpox,
that, as they think il necessary to keep up the
precautions which have been in foice for two
months longer it is reasonable 10 believe that
the Board of Apportionment will not do TN
wisely to grant the request.

Spain is to have new fundamental law.
differing very little from that of most constiu-
tional monarchcs. The "cOlonics '-includinG
of course Cuba and Porto RicO-are, however,
to be governed by Especial laws" and are to
elect deputies to the Cortes by Especial sys-
" TEN which will be enacted at fitting time. y
THIS looks Enthusiastically like a return to the
old oppressive system OF colonial government,
ard is calculated to confirm the Cubans III the
belief that little good is TO I've expected from
their mother country.

The Shakers Dying Ont.

Tho New Lebanon correspondent OF
the Boston Journal writes rs follows !:
1t is much more probable that the recent
rapid decrease in their numbers has
been SO startling that they do not wish
it to be known outside. Asall the mem.
bers of the society would have to meet
together in the public service, it would
be cAsy to estimate their numbers. A
comparatively large proportion, espe-
cially of the younger brethren, have left
the society within n few years, and there
seems to be little doubt that the solid
ranks which used to fill tho floor Of the
meeting house would be terribly de.
pletcd If they could be seen there to-
day. 4 number OF outlying societies
have been given up within the past half
dozen years, their members being called
in to man the battlements Of the central
citadel. Weak families have been con-
solidated with stronger ones, and even
with this aid they are compelled to call
in hired workmen from "the world 10
help them manage their large farms
and gardens. One family which, twenty
years ago, could send twenty-five or
thirty men into the fields during the
haying season, now is able to muster
only two. The aid Of moving machines
and tedders and horsemkes and forks,
however, makes them almost rs compe-
tent as the largest number. The time
has been when they boosted that in due
cOurse they woull own all the fertile
valley at their feet, and turn the pretty
little Presbyterian church III its center
into sheep pen. In those days they
refused to sell an inch of their land,
leeming the suggestion almost blasphe-
nous. But for many years they have
only held their own, and now even that
seems to be denied them. This year
they have sold many OF their outlyiug
farms and others are for sale.

The Buffalo Express says: There is
in hepossossion OF John Ende, harness
maker, ono OF the most ancient relics
owned in the city. It is m antique two
edged sword, made in 1865, one hundred
and twenty.seyen years before the dis
covery Of America. The weapon Is
about two feet and half long, and ex-
ceedingly well preserved. The blade
tapers of to n sharp point, and consists
Of thick piece Of well tempered steel,
about an inch and o half broad at It's
widest part. Several figures and de-
vices have been cut in ii, but they are
nearly obscured by tho stains Of rust.
The date, however, Is very distinct, be-
ing cut in deep on both sides Of the
blade. The hiit is entirely Of metal and
strengthened by coils Of copper wound
tightly around 1t. The hand is protect
ed by simple iron cross.piece. That
the sword is genuine is proved not only
by'its appearance but by It's history. It
originally belonged to Baron Won Lich.
enstein, o rich landed proprietor in Sax
ony, anl was given To one Of the ances-
tors OF its present owner rs a pledge OF
patent right TO- sell salt among the
baron's tenants. II has been in his
family for several generations, coming
down from son TO son with the privilege
which its possession conferred. When
Mr.. Ends loft his native country for
America he took the sword along with
him and still retains il. y J,F II =

A Palatial Hotel.

Z Tue Pacific Hotel OF San Francisco is
brought into notice again by the failure
OF its patron, the Bank OF California.
Tho hotel is the most magnificent Struc.
ture of the kind in the world. II is $50
feet by 27jj, and contains 1000 rooms,
not one of which is less than sixteen feet
square. The diuiug.room is larger than
any private residence in New York, with
half dozen exceptions. 1t is even
larger than six city lots III New York,
aGd counting the breakfast.room md
the private lining.rooms, they are equal
to thirteen city lots in that city.
As to tho cost of this hotel, the figures
are almost appalling. Mr.. Sharon him.
self informed mo that the building and
ground had already cost nearly $5,00O,.
900. He said he did not expect the
property would pay rs m investment. II
will, he thinks, be credit and MI actual
benefit to the city. This is all he wants.
He can afford to build one hotel, il it
only costs S5,000,000. But why Mr..
Sharon, who is Senator from Nevada,
should have such an extraordinary inter.
est in San francisco is nther strange.
He is supposed to live in Nevada, where
his colleague, Mr.. Jones, is supposed to
reside, but he does not live there. On
the contrary, he has very charming
house in San Francisco, and never goes
to Nevada, except on business trip,
from one year to another. However, he
goes quite as often as his colleague
does.
Tho furniture in tho Palace will cost
81 100000. This is the sum laid apart
for it. The mirrors alone will cost
800, 900, aud the chandeliers Sl5, 600.
The silver will cost 500, ,000and the linen
$4,000. Mr.. Leland estimates that the
furniture in each room will cost 81, 900.
This OF course does not refer to the par
lors or reception rooms, each OF which
will require from 5000 to $40, 900. The
furniture throughout the hotel, like the
building, is to DO Severely plain.

Civilized InfantIcide."The Remedy.

No animals are known to abandon
their progeny, for the word nbandonIns mt
c.itinot properly be applied to those few
cases III which The totng ef certain ani.
mails receive no care because they De"d
none. In every species where the pro-
gcny need care and defense it is the one
inseparable trait Of animal morality "
to furnish these to the last extremity il
need be. Even those who hold that hu.
manity is only the latest step Of progress
from animal life must admit, therefore,
that growth which seems all in the di-
rection Of improvement has Mt least pro
duccd one result which is degradation,
and puts man below the animals i'll bcnc-
violence, for all human races rid them
selves OF the burden OF q supertiuous
progeny with more or less Difference to
forms. II might bo supertluous to
speculate as to the precise point OF pro-
gress toward humanityat which mothers
find the maternal instinct less powerful
than certain conventional considerations
OF good repute, or even Of common COM
fort, but It is certain that the point is
touched at m early stage of the growth
Of every society, and grows rs the civlll-
zation is higher. In the semi. barbnrOus
settlements OF Asia, where children are
exposed Mt the edge Of the village at
nightfall, and are seized by the prowl-
ing wolf, and sometimes become the
nursling of the she wolf, whose heart
proves gentler than TINT Of the human
mother, the crime is less common than
in civilized China, where there are
recognized receptacles for the little
wretches ; and in China it is still less
common proportionatcly to population
than in Europe. In Europe this vice
has been treated in different ways. 1t
has been recognized and provided for,
and stringent enactments have been
framed to repress it. In the Latin
countries they have provided that the
"exposure of the infants should re-
lieve the unhappy mother without the
destruction of the child, and tho vast
founding hospitals have done great
service in that direction. In England
founding hospitals were locked upon,
not MS preventing murder and saving
children, but rs affording facilities for
evil, Just us tho known existence Of n
receiver OF stolen goods may bc looked
upon as an incentive to theft. They
were so restricted, therefore, MS to be in.
effective rs n remedy, and thence arose
the English form OF baby murder called
baby farming, by which little ones were
boarded out, and are not killed by VIC.
lenco but simply die from the want Of
proper care and nourishment, the profit
to the murtleress being that child mny
die in its first week, aud she will collect
the board money for several months.
In this country We have generally gone
a step beyond England, and have muir
dsred the mother by malpractice before
the birth OF the child. But this seems
now to have become dangerous. There
is hope, therefore, that public opinion
will turn favorably to the best result yet
achieved by society in this direction
