SECREr,RY EvAETS seems to maintain
cheerful frame nf mind At Omaha, recently,
when interviewed by press reporter, he
said that the greatness of the people were
in sympathy with the administration, hut
that their sentiments were not represented
through leading politicians in congress, or
through majority Of the press 1t is no:
necessary 10 inquire how The secretary OBJ
tanned the facts upon which the opinion is
based, since lie entertains it and donbtless
with good reason but it may be remarked
that the secretary sets aside the harometers
of public opinion. which are oftener than
otherwise correct in their conclusions. The
leading po!iiic ans in congress are more in
clined 20 follow public opinion than to lead
it. and the most inaependentnewSraPer that
WAS ever published can only MAINTAIN a
position little in advance of the pnblict
When, therefore, member of the cabinet
arrives at the conclusion hat the press and
politicians do not reflect public sentiment,
he shonii carefully review his ground and
assure himself that it is the press and poll
tici&ns that are III error-not himself.

scandal, which, to great extent, had died
out, has been rerive,l, Mrs. TitOn. in order
to ease her conscience, as she pats it, having
made supplemental confession, in Which
she admits that her relations with Beecher
were OF criminal character. This Henry
denies. Butas Mrs. Tilton was present when
the deed took place, her testimony ought To
be regarded as conclusive evidence Of the
fact. We are afraid that Beecher, Ike the
