Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has al
length been exonerated from any
blame by the committee of the Ad-
visary Council. appointed by Ply
mouth Church last April. Mr..
Beecher Is now wholly acquitted, so
far as the church is concerned. Yet
there Is vague suspicion in the
minds of the masses that he is moral
" guilty, and cloud will no doubt
eucircle him to the end of his life.
1t is spectacle ms melancholy as
suggestive to witness u man of such
eminence $50 suddenly degraded in
the minds of those who had long re-
garded him as pure beyond the pos
sibility of temptation and as en-
dowed with almost supernatural
qualities. 1t suggests the slender
thread 10y which mans fame, how
ever widespread his reputation, may
hang, and how vulnerable are the
hes, to the possible intrigue of
jealous pcrso1s. An inward con-
seriousness of innocence is alone
what would buoy Mr.. Beecher up In
q trial like the one through which he
has passed. And that consciousness
may be what has been interpreted as
obtuseness and almost callous de-
fance of consequences.
Mr.. Tiltou has long since called
of his dogs, and Mr.. Moulton has
recently done so. Should these
men, or either of them, by any act
in the future show themselves to be
less worthy than they have been re-
garded, or should they appear as
particularly wanting in moral cha
racter, 1t would he the best thing
that could hefall Beecher. He
would appear then as a much in
jured person, and the people would
not be slow in restoring him TO for
mer confidence aud esteem. Tilton,
being an eccentric man at best, may
yet afford the great pastor that
means Of escape from an ending not
SO glorious as the works of his life
enti,le him. If it is compatible with
real Christian spirit for the devoted
members of Plymouth to pray for
good mixed with evil, their oirsons
may ascend for the downfall of Til
ton and the consequent restoration
Of Beecher. The ends nigh; be re-
garded as jus,ifying the means.

The Intention Of Voters.

The House Of Representatives, the
Democrats concurring. once decided
that is 10 perfectly competent and
legal to consider the evident intent
of voter in casting his ballot when
found incomplete or informal. This
was decided In the case Of McKen-
zie Va. Braxton, contestant fron the
Seventh Virginia Congressional Dis
tr,ct, in which the Republicans and
Democrats in the Forty second Con-
gress unanimously gave the seat to
Braxton (Democrst). On this came
principle the House even refused to
allow his expenses to Mckenzie, who
contested On the ground that several
hundred incorrect ballots were cast
for Braxton. Abundant authorities
are presented favoring the reception
aud count of the ballots of Republic
cans who were intimidated ana pre-
vented from voting on election day.

San Francisco's Supervisors.

SAN FRANorsco, Nov. 21.--A
grand jury was empanelled to-day.
Judge Wright. in charging the jury,
remarked that the last Grand Jury
commenced an investigation of the
acts of members of the Board OF
Supervisors, but for want of time
the Investigation was not completed.
1t would be their duty to take up
this investigation and prosecute i, e.
the end. 1t would be their special
duty to inquire whether the late
election was conducted in fair and
orderly way. In investigating il
would be their duty to know no
friends or party, md TO see that
justice is given TO all; and i, would
be remembered tha, the last Grand
Jury animadvert.d severely on the
conduct of some of the members Of
the Board of Supervisors, iutimstin !
that several of them were probable
candidates for San Quentin, ON &C

iating 10 the letters of contracts fer

REFORMING CHICAGO.

Even wicked Chicago is suscen-
tible to the powerful reformatory in
duence OF the great Moody Is Saukey
performance. \ r.ccn: dispatch
says that tr, NOR of religious ex-
element permeatss every precinct IF
tina, vile city, aud that even during
the heat Of election there was no
abatement in the attendance al the
Tabernacle, This seems almost i'm
possible, especially in view OF the
Democratic majority recently polled
there. Democrats are proverbiaily
direlect in their duty toward God,
and particularly in election times,
when matters under the tutelage of
the false one are IL be attended 10,
are they careless about even the
most attractive religious exercises.
II must be that TIE Republicans of
Chicago attended the rcvivals en-
masse, hoping to propitiate the
powers above by assuming sym
patty. Whether those powers, how
ever, mingle a, sll in the filthy pool
of politics may be regarded as an
open question. 10 any case il is
singular that the firm of Moody &
sankey should do so thriving bust
ness against the odds of great cleo
ton excitement. II is an evidence
OF the power those men WELD by the
magic eloquence of their voices and
the magnetism of their presence and
superior Jesticulation. Perhaps in
the next Presidential canvass they
can be induced tn take the stump to-
ge,her on one side or the other. We
are told that even the deaf and dumb
are maniiestiag grea, interest in
the Chicago meetings. ANY one
who can entertain those unfortunate
creatures and smoothe their path
toward hereafter is valuable, and
performs an important service when
he does so.

How to Light q Fire.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 21-Mrs.
Anna Baugh, wife Of Theodore
Baugh, residing at No. IS South
Park, got up yesterday morning to
light fire. She used kerosene oil,
but so carelcssly that her cloths
caught fire, and in moment her
whole person was enveloped in
flames, which reached her face and
fairly roasted it before she was res
cued. Probably she inhaled the
flames, for though badly burned, her
injuries seemed hardly sufficient to
cause her death, which occurred last
night.

An investigation shows tie budding

disgrace to the society which permits
such state OF affairs to exist. Worst
of all the evil has invaded a class of so
cicty not usually productive of the genus
hoodlum aul in manner that will not
admit OF its speedy suppression. In fact
the curse of hoOdlumism has seemingly
lcavcnch the whole rising generation,
and both male aud female now assert
their right to breathe nm air of abs0,
lutte independence, and snap their fingers
at the parental authority Of any degree
or description whatever. In the case of
girls of all classes anl conditions, the
result is most dcplorable and damag-
inc one. 1t has been remarked by
strangers to our city that the behavior
