TIE IMMORALITIES OF ILLUMINATION.

TIE IMWORALITIES OF ILLUNINdTION
One trouble breeds another. and bothers go
in groups. While the rccalcItrant gas con-
sumers of Brooklyn are trimming the wick of
economy and purchasing the by no means
costly kerosene, the painful results OF gaseous
grasping are to be observed IN Camden, n. j.
-Four consumers of that village, from desire
to economize laudable when not pushed to ex-
cess, have come into unpleasant relations with
that unpleasant institution, the Grand jury.
They were dissatisfied with their gas bills.
The desire Of their hearts was to diminish
these aggravating and often aggravated state
mcnts Instead of wisely closing their ac-
counts with tho carburettcd corporation,
the four consumers of Camden resOrted
to an ingenious but rcprchensible expedient
Descending into their respective cellars. each
of them willfuly and fcloniously tampered with
his meter by sticking wire into it, whereby
Its magnificcntly mendacious machinery was
persuaded to tell fibs in their favor instead of
telling fibs in favor of the Company. Thus
were their apartments made festally TO blaze at
a moderate expense, aud they passed their
Winter evenings in a great deal OF glory. the
hsb-tal soaring, and the bats-wing spreading,
and the darkest corner being rendered IA light
as day. Chandeliers coruscated; side lights
glowed like considerations or "blowed" like
whales; the argand sent up its pillar OF fire,
and unregistered gas freely flowing graz
tuitously frightened the domicilcs of tho
four conspirators, while the Gas Company, in
happy ignorance of the defalcotion, hurried
on toward the Stygian pit Of insolvency. 1t
would have been charming for these smart
gentlemen if the stern policeman, instigated
by the awakened corporation, had not marched
them from the sunburst of free gas to q dark
and dreary dungeon; and subsequently (by
indictment and arraignment. Three OF the

Slow progress is made in investigating the
shameful msmanagenent that ruined the
Freedman's Bank. Nor, though slow, does 1t
seem to be sure. The case is one of peculiar
outrage, the sufferers being less able than
almost any other class of people in this coun-
try to afford the loss of their savings; while
all the evidence yet attainable serves to show
that corrupt ring of politicians dispensed and
dispersed the money.

THE THOMAS CONCERT.

The performance of Mr. j. X. Paine's SYM
phony at Thomass matinee concert to-day ought TO
create tlcbreeze OF interest in musical circles and we
presume il will attract large audience. In Boston tho
work has been praised in the most enthusiastic terms ~
very good Judges The programme includes another
novelty, symphonic poem by sant-Saens entitled

DR.. Alexander Schmidts Shakespeare Lexi-
con, reviewed in our London correspondence,
promises to be of permanent value to students
of the drama. It has the merit, especially rare
among works based upon Shakespeare's writ
ings, of obtruding little of the theories of the
commentator, while helping much to elucidate
the text.

The letter of Mr.. Bowen adds largely to the
perplexities which surround the case of Mr..
Beecher. Mr.. Bowen claims to have
been the receptacle of numerous conf
dences from members Of Plymouth Church,
all tending to besmirch the reputation
of Mr.. Bcecber; ard among these the Tilton
affair was so to speak, an episode. The
greater part Of the letter is taken up by Mr..
Bowen with a defense of his course in
respect to the policy of silence. This silence
he now proposes to break, before proper
tribunal. Tho most startling part of the let
ter is its close, in which Mr.. Bowen
declares his full belief that MI. Beecher
is guilty. These sentiments will excite
surprise that Mr.. Bowen has so long
retained a connection with Plymouth Church.
The new addition to the scandal literature of
course compels further investigation, and the
Church, it is said will ask tho narrator for q
bill of particulars.

Sultan has sought to win over Prince Nicholas

After long struggle with its conscience the judi
ciary COMMITTEES OF the Senate has made favorable
report on the nomination of Judge Billings, ami we
may therefore expect to see him in the seat OF
Durell. ready to make midnight orders on his own
account in case Of need, and to continue the BANK
ruptcy arrangements OF his lam"lted predecessor
The Republicans In the Senate are letting slip
valuable opportunity to make for their party repu-
taton which it cannot afford TO desplse. Inc out
rareous transactions in New-Orleans in which Mr
Billings was deeply implicated probably did more
than any other single set Of scandals to defeat the
Republican party in 1874; and yet here are the
Senators stamping them with official approval in
such perfectly reckless and gratutous manner that
one is at loss how 10 account for their conduct. 1t
must be great deal easier to say No to Billings than

satisfactory to learn that this progressive Re-

Little progress in the important work of the
session was made in either branch of Congress
yesterday. The House spent its time in an at
tempt to make political capital out OF pri-

cussing the case OF Mr.. Pinchback, but avoided
vote on discovering that several of his sup
porters were absent.
