 ONE WHO WAS THERE. A Bad Case.-The New York Obseruer has performed quite feat in journalism. It gives half column report to report to a meeting held in the Brooklyn Academy of | Music, the time of which was specially fix ed so as to secure the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher to spesk for the sufferers at the Brooklyn Theatre, and succeeds in doing so without lntimhting to it's readers that MT Beecher was even there. The editors Of 1 the O6SerUer are, without doubt, very saint ly individuals. and they make the Obseroer Prime religious publication, but they make the fact pretty plainlp manifest that they are children of this world and ara born in sln like the rest of us, by improving ev- cry opportunity they can seize upon to ex- press to their readers in one way or anoth- CT, their displeasure at the inability ot ell the several tribunals by which Mir. Beecher has been tried, to adjudge him guilty of some crime or other. It seems as if the
 fact of Mr. B's being actually guilty, or re- ally not guilty at all of any crime, has noth' ing whatever to do with the5T case. To rec
 oncile these 'christian" brethren, MT.
 Beecher must be pronounced guilty: Moth
 ing else will satisfy them; nothing but
 blood, even though it be innocent blood,
 will appease their wrath but let us be charitable. These men are perhaps not the
 worst of Gods creatures, at least let us
 think they are not Business jealousy (they
 publish a religious journal. and so does Mr.
 Beecher,) has probebly much to do with
 their opj1a&ons of Mr. Beecher.s guilt of the
 crime which they evidently would be glac
 to see fastened upon him with clamps Ot steel, but as the imputation doesn't seem te stick worth a cent, they are in constan
 trouble, and what is worse, their almost in
 cessant snarling and growling don't seem te
 do them the least bit of good. It's very
 oad case, probably incurable.
