fiduciary trusts is no longer looked upon with
apathetic indifference. The standard of recti-

rigid accountability for official acts of every
kind thsn they were when our municipal func-
tonsries were setting the example of indis-
crminate and gigantic stealing. =
The pessimists who are constantly wringing
their hands in lamentation over the decadence
OF virtue in this fair Republic who are wont to
apostrophize it in turgid rhetoric and flowing
verse as a broken hope-a blighted promise
would do we'll to observe with how much
greater fidelity and strictness public and per-
sonsl obligations are adhered to, than they were
generation or even decads gone by-how
much less official malfeasance there is and how
surely and swiftly every offender is brought to
Justice for misdeeds, which very often escaped
prosecution and punishment when the code of
ethics which regulated such matters lacked the
stringency which has mora recently character
lied it. These are facts not unworthy the
thoughtful consideration of the "reformers' Of
our day and generation, many of whom have
become SO imbued with the notion that human
depravity is universal as well as total, that be-
sides making themselves unhappy without any
good cause, they are committing the unforgiv-
able sin Of casting undeserved reproach upon
the uame aud honor of their country

themselves to use due diligence to prevent the
fitting out within their jurisdiction of any
vessel which there is reasonable ground to
believe is intended to cruise or carry on war
against power with which it is at peace, but
until war exists between any two nations, there
can be no breach of neutrality in permitting
either Russia or Great Britain fitting out YES
sells in this coantry for any purpose.

NEW YORK, April 20.-rhe san has story
that Mrs. luton 10 1876, at the ins,iga alton Of
lawyer Sbearmap, made statement to Rev.
Messrs. Hodge and Conant and another gentle.
men, whose name is not giveD 10 the presence
of Mrs. Ovipgton and Mrs. Field, reteratinp
her statements Of Innocence, which statement
they have held in trust, and it is still iu the
possession of Mr.. Sherman. Last November
Mrs Tilton sent for DR.. Hodge, and after tell
ing him that she was DESTROYS of recopcillia
ton with her husband, requested Dr. Hodoe
to give her the statement she had made in
1876, as she did not wish to have any relati ons
that she might renew with Mr.. Tilton disturbed
by its publication. Dr. Hodge questioned her
as to the terms of her expected reconciliation
with her husband, but she refused to admis
there was any agreement. She was willing to
go back to him if he was will to receive her
This excited DR.. Hodge, and he said with much
emphasis, "Mrs. Tiltou, if you consent to
return to your husband without rst securing
from him complete retraction of all that he
has said against Mr. Beecher and yourself, the
public will construe your action into admission
Of the truth of the charge against you.''
Mrs. Tilton renewed her demand for the un-
published testimony, arguing that she made
the statement under the advice and direction of
others and did not wish to have it in the hands
OF those who might use it against her. Dr.
Hodge replied that the paper was held in trust
by three gentlemen, and it was no in her
power to recall it or in theirs to surrender it.
1t was procured for the benefit of Mr.. Beecher,
and it would be held for his protection. Mrs.
Tilton afterward described DR.. Hodges con-
duct toward her as harsh. She expressed
regret that she was unable to obtain possession
of statement which she had made to the
injury of her husband. She has since intimated
that she would have confessed her sin with Mr.
Beecher Immediately on getting beyond his
and his friends influence had it not been for
this document which she knew was being held
in secret to be used against her if she ever did
make a confession.
DR.. Conant says Mrs. Tilton's testimony was
held subject to advice of Thomas G. Shear
man, who would determine the proper tune to
publish it. He thought it would annul the
effect of Mrs. Tilton's latest confession. Since
Mrs. Tilton's confession she and her brother,
Joseph H. Richards, who have been estranged
for three years, have become reconciled. He
| called on gentleman, who had been kind to
Mrs. Tilton to thank him, and said to him,
speaking of the confession. 81 know it is the
truth, and there was nothing else for her to
