A Reverend HypOcrite.

Mr.. BEECHER is outraged over BEL
KNAP's exposure. He dreams over it
o. nights and breaches about it on
Sundays. Here is what he says:
Every man that loves his country would
fain take a cloak and go backward and cover
the shame and sin and sorrow OF the misera-
makes us a shame-stock abroad.
Dear good man! His delicate feel =
ings and exquisite moral sensibili-
ties are shocked and wounded. And
yet the intelligent world feels that ev-
cry man and woman of respectable
character and moral training, would
'fain take cloak and go backward
and cover the shame and sin and sor-
row" which this miserable hypocrite,
BEEcHER has brought on the cause of
religion and morality. Ten thousand
BELKNAPs could not do more in the
way of creating doubt and distrust Of
human honesty than this man who
goes into the pulpit that he has desc
Grated and disgraced and talks about
cloak to cover the sins and vices of
others.

Singular Proceedings.

The arrest of LEDYARD, the Cashier
of TEMPLE & WoRKMAN's Bank, is,
when we come to look at it, rather
singular proceeding. First, the man
is arrested on charge of embeZzliDg
$16,500. Embezzlement is criminal
offense, yet we cannot understand how
the taking of this amount of money
In the manner that he took it can be
construed into embeZzlement, for the
transaction took place some two years
ago and the money was duly charged
up against him on the books of the
bank. This being the case, the pro-
prietors must have known that he
owed them the $16,509, and after ac-
cepting it for two years as debt it
will be difficult, at this late day, to
shape it into embezzlement. Mr..
LEDYARD cannot be held on this COM
plant and his discharge will speedily
follow the hearing, which is now post
poned until some time next week.
Since his arrest for embezzlement a
civil action for the recovery of SIC, 500
has been commenced against Mr.. LED
YARD. No one knows better than the
plaintiffs in the case that not dollar
of the claim can be collected. He will
no doubt confess judgment and the
criminal action having been dismissed
nothing is to prevent him from going
