A VERY INTERESTING CASE.
CAN CLERGYNfEN SIN IN ONE RESPECT An
STILL BE GOOD MEN?
Washington Cor. of the Springfield Republican

Washington Cor. of the Springfield Republican ,
A sad case of suicide which occurred herr
last Sunday, throws good deal of light upon
subject which has been discussed not a M
tie in the newspapers Of the country durino
the past year, namely, the character Of clerpvs
men. Here was q man (the Rev. 81
Coombs) who for twenty years has been the.
beloved and respected pastor Of one Of our.
leading churches, caught at last in the verv
act of purloining book from one of our
Pennsylvania Avenue booksellers. Nor is Is
the first offense. A dozen years ago he waa
detected in committing the same ohense bu :
the facts did not come out
It is undeuiable that the offender was An
able preacher and excellent pastor, and 4
model in all the walks of life, except in this
one respect. He was generous. never turnine
the beggar away, and was gentle and affec..
tionate; indeed, he was SO beloved that at thin
moment, though the evidence of his puilt
cannot be impeached, many of his congrep.-
ton, and especially the women, do not BE-
lieve word of the story. That he ever took
a book without paying tor it or intending t..
do SO, they will not and cannot believe. In
their case it may be called "the psychologist
cal argument" in favor of Mr.. Coomb's inno-
cence. Yet he was guilty more than once.
But the extent of his guilt we cannot measure
From all the facts which have come to me.
I verify believe that he was q good man. The
current idea that q clergyman must necesss-
rily be vile creature because he commits cerA
tain admitted wrongful acts finds no warrant
in Scriptures. Mr.. Coombs was .'klepto-
maniac" He told Dr.. Sunderland: II can
not tell what made me take the books had
$50 in my pocket" This was the one great
weakness in his character indeed, it NIGH
have been insanity, bat, whatever it was, i
did not make fend of him, and in spite Of
all that has occurred, his brother clergymen,
here have 'resolved" that their faith in thA
goodness of his character is not shaken Even
if he had deliberately stolen book, his char
acter would be white as snow in comparison
to that of the men who robbed the Freed
mans Bank and gouged the tax payers Of this
district out of two or three millions of dol
lars. Yet, some of these men, if not pastors.
are private members in our churches.

A BOSTON LADY TO SHERIDAN.

We cheerfully give the following letter
from Boston lady, whose feelings we can
fully appreciate:
JANUARY 5, 1875.
Gen. Sheridan During the late war looked
upon you as an able and brave soldier, but
you have this day taught me, by your in
famous report to Washington, not one word Of
which is truth, to know you as a man desti-
tute of honor and an INSCRIPTIONS falsifer.
Strip your epaulets from your shoulder, man,
for you disgrace the uniform you wear and
have prostituted our "Boys in Blue" to the
work (and would believe dis
tasteful one to them) of still further oppress-
ing long suffering, and as yesterday proved
them. forbearing people, and made North
ern woman for the first time ashamed of her
colors. BosToN1AN.

IMPENDING REVOLUTION.

Unless we greatly mistake the mean
ing of events now transpiring, unless thu
tone and temper of the people of the United
States have undergone violent and unprece.
dented change, we are now upon the eve o.
momentous events.
The grand conspiracy Of military and lead
ing Radical chieftains against the Republic is
being rapidly unfolded, and we now declare
our belief that the struggle between the civil
and military authorities, which was disgrace
fully inaugurated in the Legislative Halls OF
the State Of Louisiana on Monday last, was
the initial step in the bold programme to
throttle the voice Of the people in the next
Presidential campaign.
President Grant seems to have thrown off
even the aimsy pretense of being the chief
civil magistrate Of the people, and grasping
his sword essays to play the role of Caesar.
If the people of the United States, and if the
army and navy are prepared to support him
in his reasonable designs, then is the doom
Of the Republic sealed and liberty is dead.

| The social scandal which is now attracting
attention and supplying st. Louis with mate
rial for conversation in bar-room, and ball
room, on the street. and around the tea-table,
is one of bigamy, dishonesty, cowardice and
| cruelty. By an explosion in the gas-works OF
that city, there was instantly slain man
named Thomas Pratt, worth, so it was said,
100000. After his funeral his will was found,
leaving his property to his family in St. Louis.
Then came delegation of young men and
| women from various parts of the country and
England, claiming his property, and Thomas
Pratt was bigamist proven. The records of
Loughborough, in Leicestershire, show that
Pratt married in England in 1921.
He left his wife and family and came to the
United States. marrying second time with
the full knowledge that his first wife was liv-
ing. She discovered his crime and threat
ened to expose him. What, then, did Pratt
90! He was member of church, and so
distinguished member that his piety was a
standing reproach to the thoughtless and
carnal-minded. But he was in a fix; and ap-
appealed to his pastor for advice. Alas this
pastor was carnally-minded man, as the
event showed, and the leading men of the
church feared the scandal of temporal contri-
ton and urged him to compromise. He sent
bis wife money to quiet her, and suffered tor
ture rather than rub the gilt-edged respecta-
bility from his name and the church he he.
longed to.
Avoid scandal, was the counsel of the
pastor and church, and by judicious manage.
ment of money, the scandal was avoided.
Then came the explosion of gas and conse-
quent family secrets. The children and their
mother sued for their share of the inheri-
lance, and the property, or what was left of
1t after due arrangements were made for the
enrichment of the illegitimate children. was
placed in the hands of the Public Administers
tor. The two explosions have shattered the
nerves of the worldly pastor, who dared not
s y counsel rectitude and courage, but urged
me tremohng SINNER to compromise with his
cheat the ungodly world. and nre-
serve the reputation Of himself and his
church unscathed. Any nerves that could
not stand counseling courage would naturally
'6atter readily over double gas explosion..
