culated, to lower the standsrd
Of respect for the moral natures of the hu-
man kind. n Mrs. TILToN Is guilty now
she was when she attested her Innocence
with 50 much fcrvor-and If guilty then,
why did she not acknowledge her hult and
yield up to the cause Of morality and JUS
tice the partner Of her shame, that o just
judgment might have followed the grave
offense involved against the welfare Of So
ciety and the cause Of religion. Under such
circumstances the public admonition would
have been, go and sin no more" Now II
must be different, for the set time for con-
fcssion and repentance was passed under
solemn protest Of innocence. Now an ad-
mission of guilt, under all circumstances,
seems to be ill-timed and rather unfortun-
ate, as the old scandal is reopened by her
own voluntary act, and is boldly confronted
! by a prompt and decided denial Of guilt on
the part other reputed paramour. This affair,
which at the best was sad enough, is now
envcloped in fresh avowal Of guilt and a
total overthrow Of confidence in Mrs. TIL
TONS veracity or her chastity.
A KIND WORD FOR THE sUFFERERs.
The following is from the pen of one of
the bounced editors of the late Union,
and VIC give ii place that the aggrieved may
have hearing after his light had been
80 suddenly and rudely extinguished by the
late sale and transfer Of that paper into the
Democratic camp. This is no funeral Of
ours, but we are disposed TO comfort the
mourners by such solace as this publication
will afford

"The hybrid organ, tho result Of the coales-
cence of a violent copperhead Democratic
sheet and q paper which, If not Republican,
was, at least, not Democratic, announces that
1t will drop the tail of its title and sputter and
brag as the Daily Stick after the expiration of
the Tnion's advertising contracts. In other
words, that sheet adopts q temporary alias in
order to cheat advertisers. A Republican, who
sees no merit or right in newspapers attacks
on the country and the institutions he ad-
mires, who does not believe in the ascendancy
of the Confederacy, masquerading as the DEM
ocratic majority in the House of Representa-
tives, advertised in paper avowedly Republic
cuse for compelling that man to contribute to
a sheet whose course he reprobates. There is
neither law nor right to sustain such an un-
derhandcd trucking as this. Advertisers can
not DO bought and sold like merchandise.
Again, the Post is a on-union paper, and hun
dreds of workingmen have refused their GUS
tom to mercantile houses that advertise in u
rat paper, and JOHN LYNCH had no right to
sell his patrons out of trade in the fashion he
has attempted.
If is the intention Of the Union advertisers
to advertise in the Daily Stick an Onion, well
and good; but those who do not believe in
contributing to the dissemination Of political
hercsies aud the advocacy of dangerous polit-
ical theories need not pay, no matter how
fhuch advertising they get In the hybrid as

was paid nominaily SIS per week for his SER
