The Beechcr Case.

It has often occasioned surprise in the
course of the many trials, or attempted
trials, over the issues of the Brooklyn scam
dial that some one of the parties did not en-
deavor to have the trial removed to some
point where people were less saturated with
the subject or with prepossessions for one side
or the other than the people are in our subur-
ban village of churches. Finally tho de-
mand for change of venue is made, but
people who were surprised over the neglect
to make such demand will now not be less
surprised to find that it is made in the in

terest of Mr.. Beecher. This looks exceed
ingly like an admission that tn, pame OF the
great preacher is no longer tn. tower OF
strength it once was with the Brook
Ign public, which, though even out OF the
immediate circle of his pastoral or personal
influence, was proud of him as disiin-
guished citizen, whose great talents and in
fuence on opinion over the whole country
were parts of the renown of their city.
Nobody at one time could have believed that
Mr.. Beecher could not get justice in Brook
Ign. or even that his repute there would not
incline a doubtful balance in his favor; and
his request to try the case elsewhere, there
fore, seems the admission of great change.
Doubtless the change to Franklin county
would greatly increase the expenses of this
trial; otherwise it would be AN advantage.
Country people have prepossessions in favor
OF preachers, as a general rule; but
preacher accused o. forgetting the obliga-
tons Of his ministry can never safely look
for favor in the rural districts.

The popularity Of the fly, as we have
observed, is that he always returns to tho
same spot, but it is the characteristic OF the
mosquito that he always returns to another
spot Thus he differs from both the fly and.
the leopard, neither of which change their
spots, and this is an important fact in
natural history, of which the return of the
mosquito has reminded u.s. Punctuality is
one of the especial vices Of the mosquito, as
everybody knows and in this regard he
differs from men, with whom punctuality
is one of the virtues that are
almost superhuman achievements This
year the mosquito has returned with
his usual promptitude, and his advance

their strategic points at the head of the bed

never to be found in the place where you
expect him, and in this respect he resembles
the Indians, who when they were thought
to be on the Yellowstone River were on the
Rosebud, and when they were sought on the
The experience of the late Indian war might
be proftably applied to the coming mosquito
campaign. It is safe rule never to
attack the mosquito in the position where
you imagine he is. If he appears to be
buzzing in the air, slap the pillow violently
on the floor. If he is making feint on the
floor, hurl the bolster at the ceiling. If you
feel him settling on the right cheek, deal
yourself a blow on the left cheek. 1t is not
likely that you will hit him anyhow, but this
rule of contraries gives the only chance OF
success. No mosquito was ever slain except
by fuke. The human intellect is unequal
to cope with his gigantic little brain. OF
course the defeat Of the Union troops is Ger.
tain in the end, and our only effort
should be to escape with as little LOST
as possible. The remedies for the bites OF
the mosquito are numerous, but the
only one which can be depended
on is net. The mosquito hates a net as
much as the devil hates holy water. The
only pleasant view to be had of the mosquito
is when we survey him from behind our in
trenchments. It is misfortune of his that
he cannot crawl through hole, even when
he is like the lean and hungry Csssius and
bloodless as q stone. He must fly to his
victim and there is nothing which makes
morning doze more soothing than the sight
and sound of q regiment of mosquitoes
vainly attacking the curtains There is .
special delight in the spectacle Of their
idle fury. But they seek their revenge else
where. In another column we print ter
rible account Of the fatal assault upon Mr..
Henry j. Knout, the famous inventor of an
improved net who persisted because of his
services to humanity. Unable to get at
their prey, because of his inventions, the
mosquitoes finding Mr. Knout without his
net (Which he usually wore) fell upon him
in large numbers, and before assistance
could be rendered he was completely de.

contraction and expansion of the aerial
volume by the suns heat, and present
interesting phenomena for the observa-
ton of meteorologists. Last evening we
find that the two areas of low barometer
which have been noticed in recent weather
articles continue to remain within the
sphere of observation in the United States.
One of these is slowly drifting into the
North Atlantic over the mouth of the St
Lawrence River, the other makes equally
slow progress eastward over Dakota and
Minnesota, where an accompanying high
temperature prevails. In the Gulf raini
and threatening weather are observed, and
decided evidences of storm centre moving
on the twenty fifth parallel and approaching
the Texas coast are apparent As stated
in yesterdays HERALD the time draws neal
for these Gulf storms and cyclones and the
attention Of shipowners is earnestly called
to their probable development The great
cyclone of last September caused much de-
vastation along the Gulf coast and among
the West India islands, and considerable
loss of life and property would have been
avoided had timely warning been given Of
it's approach. We issue such o warning now
in the hope that it will insure greater caution
among navigators. To-day the weather in
New York will be cool and clear.

world, the pride and the spirit of the army
and navy have been broken, and, as General
Grant pointed out in his Message, more
money will probably be lost from the "eco-
nomical" interference with the collection of
the revenues than will be saved by the whole
measure of reform. Conservative men, who
look at these questions as they would at
their own business affairs, from q common
sense point of view-who know very
well that no twenty-horse engine can
be driven at forty-horse power-fear that the
democratic party has fallen into the hands
of men who are willing to imperil the SER
vice of the government to make capital for
the canvass. They see that the government
is an immense machine-that it can only be
run by proper application of forces
When they see these forces arrested or
broken to satisfy party exigency feeling
of alarm is awakened and business men ask
whether it is not better to bear the ills even
of q republican administration. with all of
its burdens and taints, than fly to others
which cannot be imagined.
These are some of the reasons why the
canvass, from o tactical point of view, looks
SO we'll for the republicans and so bad for
the democrats. At the same time the desire
for change, for reforms, for new names and
new faces may overwhelm all opposition
and carry with it the republican party,
administration and all. 1t may be
even more than the democrats can
do to defeat Tilden, but they are doing their
best. Much, if not all, will depend upon
the State Convention. If the democrats are
wise they will give us candidate who will
call out all the votes in the party. They
will not find him in Mr.. Seymour after his
declaration that he will never take the Office.
New York has too much pride to allow the
Governorship to be forced down the throat
of an unwilling candidate.
Such candidate will be found in Mr..
Dorsheimer, who represents the growing
west or in Mr.. Marble, whose services in
the press for the democracy in its forlorn
days are entitled to all honor or in Mr..
Potter, who represents the best elements Of
the party in the eastern part of the State
Any one of these gentlemen will aid the
ticket. Mr.. Tilden can make no graver
blunder than to parcel this and other Offices
among bosom friends. The party can make
no mistake so fatal as to give it's standard to
an obscure man who has not earned the
peoples confidence, or some wornout Bour-
bon who has lost it.

TIE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY OF THE Law
Another court has now decided the case
of the Elevated Railroad-in another way.
But short time since one judge refused the
application Of the Ninth Avenue Railway
Tor an injunction to prevent the continual
ton of the Gilbert elevated road, and now
another judge, on the same facts and the
same laws, decides a similar case just the
other way and grants the injunction on the
application Of the Sixth Avenue Railroad.
Thus it simply depends upon who the judge
Is. What we call justice is nominally some
rule derived from the law, but is really q
result of the idiosyncrssies, mental peculiar
tiles or peryersions of some individual who
vits on the bench. With any greatly CON-
plicated case to be decided in the courts the
result, whichever way it goes, is simply an
lccident-that is, it is determined by such
uncertain facts as make up the mental con-
dition Of the judge who has to unravel the
contradictions and inconsistencies OF the
law. Fortunately there is only one court Of
appeal, and whoever wins in the toss-up
there will be finally victorious.

THE CRY PAsToRs have not yet returned
from the vacations, and most of the pulpits
yesterday were filled by visiting ministers.
The subjects Of the sermons were the usual
well-worn themes, and the discourses con-
sisted of platitudes on pride and humility,
prayer and its conditions, faith, growth,
IS defined by woman, and kindred topics.
Dr.. Deems discourse on the effects of
Christianity upon TIE condition of women was
exceptional in freshness of thought and
treatment, and in spirit and purpose it is
worthy of imitation in other quarters.
