DIR. BACON publishes in the Congregation
dlist letter addressed TO Prof. Egbert c..
Smythe, urging the Andover church TO ap-
pear before the commission provided by the
late Advisory Council and prefer charges
against Mr.. Beecher. He believes the COM
mission will be an eminenlly able and i'm
partial tribunal, and that its decision will be
accepted as tinal disposition of the scandal.
In postscript to the letter he refers TO DR..
Storrs' address of Sunday night and attrib-
utes his reflections upon the proposed tri
bunal to the heat of argument. In regard TO
DR.. Storrs' intimaton that he might be COM
PEELED to withdraw from the Congregational
church, DR.. Bacon says: ''Dr. Storrs can
leave no church but the church of the Pill
grims, as there is no Congregational church
which includes all others, as there is among
the Presbyterians, but each is independent,
standing by itself, associating with others of
the same sort as it pleases-and that is its
life, beauty and power"

THE UNSEEN WORLD, AND OTHER Essays By
John Fiske of Harvard University. Boston: j.
r. Osgood s. Co. For sale by Bailey & Noyes.
This is a collection of reviews and essays
published originally in the Atlantic Monthly;
and whieh-with the avowed two-fold desire of
making an offering to friendship and clearing
out his workshop-the author has compiled in
neat and substantial volume A review of re-
views is a reflection at second hand, shadow
of a shade; aud 1t is rather with Mr.. Fiske's
merits as a writer than with especial points OF
his taste, opinion, or modes of thought that
journalistic notice concerns itself. The essay
in two parts, which gives its title to the vol.
ume, displays learning, thought and philoso-
ply, together with a genuine religious senti-
ment, AID refined imagination. Throughout
Mr. Fske's writings are to be met finely ex-
pressed ideas, as well as good thoughts thai
owe little of their force TO manner OF presenta

The New York soft-money Democrats have
met and resolved that the genuine Nationa.
Democratic Convention was that of 1868 and
that the platform then adopted-repudiation
denunciation of constitutional amendment,

been merely ratification meeting Little

THE Nation has this to say about the
charge of literary piracy brought against Mr..

charge OF literary piracy brought against MIR.
Dana:
The expected report of the Senate Committee
against the confirmation of MIR, Dana, TO the
body which has just confirmed Billings in the
judgeship at New Orleans, would be wretch
ed piece of business. We believe the agents
who have contributed to this result are Mr.. w.
b. Lawrence, who accuses Mr.. Dana of having
plrated the notes of his edition OF Wheaton,
and Mr., b f. Butler, who accuses him OF hav-
ing 'bolted the regular ticket" on certain occa-
sions, and being generally obnoxious to him
sen. AS regards Buffers hostility, we had
noped t6at the Senate had learned enough TO
De ipdiHeient to it As regards Mr.. Law.
rence's charges, we shall only say that the
matter is.stlll before the courts having been re-
terred some Ilme ago to master to report on
the rival editions He has made no report be-
cause. we venture to assert, there is nothing to
report that would not be almost rdcnIous as A
charge against Mr.. Dara We made a carefal
collation. of the two books ourselves in 1866,
and published the result in No. 66 of the Ma.
tion. The only basis for Mr. Lawrence's s
charges worth notice vas that Mr.. Daua's
transationS from foreign languages occasional
ly were textually like bis own, to which no.
body who has ever translated from modern
languages will attach any importance in the
case of a man like Mr.. Dana, who was himself
master OF international law aud leading
practitioner in Admiralty cases when he uuder-
took the work. As to identity in the illustra-
tons cited of certain Iules, since the illustra-
tions were prominent events in modern history
it is almost absurd to base on them an accusa-
tion OF bad faith offered to educated men.
There is one case of literal copying Uf a quota
tion of four lines of LawTences from Black
stone with the typographical error which it
contained-over which Mr.. Lawrence has been
childishly exultant, bus there is no doubt that
this was due to an oversight by the printer, to
whom, improperly as we think, Mr. Dana had
LETT the task of striking out all of Lawrence S
notes. That this error was not detected by
him in the pIoof-sheets was natural enough
10 fact, to attack Mr.. Dana's character n tn s
matter 10 ever SO slight degree is to give
proof of perverse and malignant tenn Der, and if
the Senate Committee is Influenced by such
attacks in making its report without giving
him hearing, it will be guilty of a gross
offence against justice and decency.

THERE seems to be difference of opinion
between the Finance Committee of the Eas-
tern Railroad and ex President Woodbridge.
The chairman of the former tells the Massa-
chusetts Legislature that the Committee was
never consulted relative to purchasing the
Maine Central stock, and Mr.. Woodbridge
says the purchase was made by its consent
and approval. II was rather silly if not a
disreputable transaction and it is no won der
after the deluge that all implicated would
strive to shirk the responsibility of the iisas-
TOR. Nevertheless, the gentlemen were under
cath when they made these conflicting state
ments.

BY mistake an article from the Tribune OH
the conviction of Sooy. the defaulting New
Jersey treasurer, has strayed into the col
umns Of the argus. The Tribune says no
time was wasted in talking of impeachment,
and the argus applauds, for it does not see
the hit at the Democratic managers in the
House who are wasting time talking of i'm.
peachment instead of going before grand
jury and giving evidence to secure the con-
viction OF Belknap on criminal charge.

IT is the Hartford CourGnt which wickedly
suggests to Judge Kelley that, if his theories
be right he can easily find remedy for the
lack of ventilation in the Representatives
Hall at Washington. He has always main
tained that anything will circulate which has
the government stamp upon it and law TO
support it. Now let him induce Congress to
pass bill declaring that the air OF the House
of Representatives is American air and is as
good as anybody needs; that after the passage
OF the accompanying bill it shall circulate
through the hall as freely as any air circu-
lates anywhere; that it shall be receivable
in ali lungs for the duties of lite on par
with any other air; and that within the
closed circle of the Representatives hall the
worlds AIR is not required II that doesn't
make the air circulate then his theories are
all wrong.

THE LATE COL. WILSON.

Among the ineat honored and high
toned gentlemen in South Carolina, there
were none more popular and deserving
than the late Col. Benjamin It. Wilson,
of Georgetown. II the olden time, he
was the peer CT the noblest and purest in
the councils of the State, and of late
years he has been actively engaged in
whatever measures were adopted for the
amelioration and regeneration of the old
commonwealth. His genial, cheerful
disposition endeared him to 4 large cir.
Gle of friends in every portion of the
State, and there is no one feature of his
character which will be more tenderly
cherished than his affection and interest
at all times in The young men of the
country, by whom he was greatly respec-
ted without exception. He was the editor
of the Georgetown Tines, and as jour
nalist was always frank and independent
in thought, courteous to his fellow
laborers, and wholly Just to his political
opponents. We print to-day merited
tribute to his memory and services from
the Charleston Neacs and Caurier, and
only regret that limited time prevents
the hand of friendship from adding more
than this brief allusion to his untimely
death. - .ir......

the great Exhibition, and make them see
as far as they can through my eyes its
wonders, its glories, and its magnificent
collection of the arts. This / know will
take many letters and months Of patient
work and Study, but with patience and
work, 1 hope and expect to accomplish
it:
In conclusion, let ihs say that iii the
life Of ati ordinary idaf; there are few
such days III any part Of the world as the
great day we have just passed thfodgh,
nd nhan living oH tie tditiiefit 5f At1ef:
lea can reasonably expect to see exactly
such another, or even one remotely ap-
proachiug it as grand, imposing and
magnificent spectacle participated in by
hundreds of thousands of people, and
distinguished by mighty names and char
acters that would be corsi idered great in
any country or cline. I do not say that
there will hot be othet gEeat fiitioial
celebrations and exhibitions where kings
and empefors will take part, and millions
of people backed by countless millions Of
dollars, will contribute everything that
can add to the glory Of the pageant, and
make it memorable forever. 1t is not
any of these things that distinguishes our
Centennial day. It is not the splendor
of the procession, t1or The showy costumes,
nor the lavish expehdi iture Of MONEY, nor
the ihfnitude Of htimbefs, NOR the start
ling variety; and magnitude Of tile con-
tfibutiohs gathered from the farthest ends
of tic earth: 1t is all these added to-
gether, and above; bene4tH. ahd Afoiind
then al ths grand fact that I'VE have
reached the hundredth year of our Ma
tional independence. For this Almighty
God be thanked with humble and CRATE
full hearts. Certain wise men of the east
had long since cast our horoscope, and in
Democratic form of government could
see nothing but disaster and ruin; but
despite the lying prophecy we still live,
and on this; the Centennial; the year of
our Freedom; we have called Dip Tie peo.
pie Of the world to the Uity Of Brotherly
Love to help us to celebrate our glorious
national jubilee. 1t is true, that as YET
welack few weeks of completing our full
hundred years, but the goal is already in
sight, and we shall reach it in the Provi-
