The Beecher-Tiiion scandal Again.
NEW YORK, May 3d.-While the
Heruld's Rochester dispatch about
the new Beecher-Tilton develop.
ments is erroneous in some details,
its general statements as to what
is expected to he developed is sub.
stantially true. The new witness
who declines to he interviewed is
James B. Mix. He was brought
up on the New York Times, was
subsequently, long employed on the
Tribune, and for several years has
held responsible position in the
New York PostofIice. AS the New
York correspondent of the Chicago
Times he first published the Beech
er scandal in that paper. Nobody
except the principals know its in
side history as well rs Mix does.
His connection with and knowledge
of many important facts grew out
of his seven years confidential
agency for Victoria Woodruff, who
really held the key to the bottom
facts by means OF many private
letters and papers written by Til
ton and Moulton, and some by
Moulton's wife. All these are in
Mix's hands, whose personal
knowledge of the circumstances is
claimed TO thoroughly complete a
chain of testimony regarding what
promises to be the most interesting
chapter in the whole scandal. Mix
has not met Beecher on the SUBJ
ject, but has been thoroughly ex-
amined by the latter's counsel, who
procured his evidence, which is
conclusive of the case. Among
the points claimed to be estab-
lished are these:
First, Tilton's failure to tell the
whole truth on the witness stand
and his positive miscellaneous and
concealments as to the time and
circumstances of becoming &C
quainted with and of his relations
to the Woodruff.
Second, that Mrs. Tilton's COM
promising letters were in fact writ
ten at her husbands dictation.
Third, Tilton's successful arrange
ments for Woodhull's all night So
journ at his own house despite Mrs.
'Tilton's bitter rem0nstrance and at
Moulton's house with the assent of
the latter and the co cooperation Of
the latter's wife.
Fourth, strong support to Beech
er's explanation Of the ragged edge
and kindred letters and showing
that the wrong therein regretted
was, as Beecher swore, simply and
solely Tilton's loss of employment
through Beecher's complaint and
his immortality and that these were
In fact deliberately drawn out with
the purpose of using them as cir
cumstantial evidence to cast sus-
| plcion upon Beecher's morality.

WHEN Rsouey, in the central
conolaves of the Kearneyites in
san Francisco, proposed to enact
Brutus to Kearney's Caesar, the
acme of farce was attained. In
the antics of this man Kearney
and his immediate followers capt.
tai materials are afforded for sort
of political comedy of the High
Life Below Stairs' order. These
fellows have the impotence to un-
dertake to control the affairs Of a
great State; but, at the same time,
cannot control their impulse to
travesty an ordinary political
meeting. Up till the moment
when Kearney and Knight quar-
relied, they were sort of David
and Jonathan, Damon and Pythias
order of brotherhood. But presto!
change, when they fall out. knight
to Kearney, from the moment they
disagree, is a seducer and one of
the disrsputable editors of the
Jolly Giant. From the same
moment Kearney, instead of
being "Mr. Kearney" and the
object of THE adulation of
Knight, is boor and liar.
No one who heard Kearney and
knight speak in front of the Court
House in Los Angeles can have for
gotten the latter's disgusting sub
serviency to his chief. What lit
tie time has been found sufficient
to show the crudeness. the utter in
competency and the tendency to
disintegration of these men? Some
day or other, the Democracy of
California will wake up and be
thoroughly ashamed of ever hav-
Ing seen any thing to fear in Denis
Kea-ney. They will desire, at any
sacrifice, to hide that chapter in
their history.

Fifth, that Beecher's letter to
Mrs. Tilton, requesting her to con.
fide in Moulton, wasSwritten at the
latters request from the exact me-
tive assigned by Beecher on the
trial, but that it was obtained by
Moulton only to be used as part OF
the trap set for Beecher's feet.
Sixth, how the interviews of Vic
toria Woodruff with Beecher were
carefully planned and effected by
the conspirators, while Beecher al
ways did suppose that they were
entirely accidental.
Despite the efforts to confine the
new issue to the parties already in
volved, it is doubtful If the re-
opening of the scandal can fail to-
incidentally compromise several
persons of some note hitherto unaf-
fected. Friends OF Mix give as a
motive for his disclosure, the fact
that he was for a long time made
the blind tool of the conspirators
before obtaining true clues to their
purposes and that now he feels it
due to himself and the public to
make the facts known.

on his European tour. The Herald
pretended to deprecate C@sarism,

dollars to establish an Empire in
the United States is not the only
capitalist who feels that way. Col.

SOME time ago we expressed our
opinion that the silly Cesarism
articles of the New York Herald
were really written with the view
of paving the way for Grants de-
claring himself dictator. The SUBJ

transpired that these "Casarism''

LIVERPOOL, May 3.-The leading
grain circular says that the grain
trade during the past two days has
been quieter. The late advance in
wheat, however, is fairly main-
tanned upon the moderate extent OF
business here and in neighboring
markets. Since Tuesday business
moved slowly. The tendency OF
prices regarding wheat and maize
has been slightly in favor of buy
ers. In this market to-day there
was limited demand for wheat.

ROME, May 3d.-The italian Re.

About four hundred clubs were rep
resented, one.fourth belonging to
Liguria. Signor Pantano, Director
of the Mazzinian Journal of Dovore,
opened the proceedings with an ad.
dress in which he recapitulated the
Republican programme. The
main discussion has been on
the question of practical organ
ization Of Italian Republicans
in one body. A proposition was
finally formulated and accepted
unanimously for the election of a
provisional Republican Com mittee
to be elected in the various districts
throughout the State.

WE have frequently had occasion

WE have frequently had occasion
TO admire the aplomb-we might
say "cheek "--of the Republican
party of California. Their late at
tempt to gobble up the Democracy,
which failed through the unwill-
ingness of the Democratic State
Central Committee to be party to
an immoral political bargain, has
been followed by an effort to dis
engage leading Democrats from
their allegiance to their party.
We heartily hope this intrigue will
fail. What is needed on the part
eff the Democracy of California is
reafflrmation of genuine Demo-
cratic principles. We trust that,
at the meeting of the two hundred
and forty delegates which will as
semble at Sacramento, pursuant to
the call of the State Committee,
there will be inaugurated genu-
inc Democratic revival. There is
in the principles of the party, faith
fully carried out, panacea for the
evils from which the laboring man
suffers. All the Democracy needs
is to get down to the genuine jack
sonian and Jeffersonian bedrock.
The assertion Of the subsection of
corporations of all kinds to the
law, the equalization of taxation,
with moderate exemption from
taxation as to small farms, the as.
sertion Of the sovereignty Of the
States within the bounds accepted
and ascertained during the first
sixty years of the Republic, the
widest liberty of the person and
the press, stopping short Of
the line of license, the right of the
citizen to assemble, to petition and
to carry arms and the States su.
pervision over water courses, afford
heads for ringing platform which
will call every Democrat to his
place in the party ranks. The doc
trines which are being promul.
gated in the better class of Work
ingmen's platforms are taken from
the pure we'll of De-
mocracy undefiled. Why should
we not assert our right
to our own distinctive doctrines?
The Sacramento Convention will
doubtless see to it that this is done.
The fact that there may have been,
here and there, Democrat who
was unfaithful to his trust in the
last Legislature does not initiate

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DRowN-
ING.-On Tuesday evening last as Miss Cox
and Mrs. Newman were returning to their
homes in New Hope, from Staunton, in a
buggy, they attempted to cross Christian S
Creek, at Vampires, on the Port Republic
Road. The creek was very much swollen
from the rains that evening, and the buggy
waa soon submerged, upset and the ladies
thrown cut. Mrs. Newman, who was driv-
taG. chung to the reins of the horse, and all
were drifting down the stream. Mr.. Wam-
pier, who was on the opposite side of the creek
called to the ladies to let the horse 60 and
take hold OF the buggy and the animal would
bring them. out. Mrs. Newman. letgo the rcins
and seized the buggy Wheel, and Miss Cox
to the clothes of Mrs. Newman, and in thi;
position, the horse swan to the bank, bring.
ing with him the buggy and the ladies, and
landing them safely on the side they had en-
tered the stream and two or three hundred
yards below the ford. Mr.. Wampier say
that he expected Miss Cox to be drow nee
| certainly, as she was under the water nearly
the entire time from the moment the buggy
upset until they were SO miraculously extrica

was broken, and the goods the ladies hat
purchased in Stanton, swept off, but no Sc.
rious injury was sustained by either Of thu
| ladies or the horse.
This was certainly very remarkable es

PENTECosT.-To-morr Friday, is PEN
tecost, one of the three principal festivals OF
the Jews. 1t was celebrated as the feast OF
the first fruits of the harvest, and stood as
the elimination of the consecrated season,
and was characte rized bya hosptabie liber-
atty and remembrance OF the poor. Its dis
tinguishng rite WAS che offering OF the two
loaves of unleavened bread from the new
crops. In foreign countries since the captivity,
the Jews have prolonged il to two days, and
in latter times it has been kept as the COM
memoration OF the revelation OF the law on
Sinai, of which it is the anniversary. The
day is also kept as festival of the Chris
tian church, and among Latin and Greek
Christians ranks next after Easter. 1t COM
memorates the day when, as related in Acts
ii, the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apos-
ties and bestowed on them the gift Of
tongues. The conversion of 5000 persons
was held to be the beginning OF the preac h
ing OF the gospel to all nations. The festi-
val of Pentecos. was in the early ages one OF
the favorite seasons for administering bap-
tisln and as those who received it WERE
clothed in white to symbolic the spiritua
purity which baptism confers. the day ac
quired the name Of Whit-Sunday or Whit
suntide.

BEEF CATTLE.-The market this week was scarce
ly as high on an average as it was last week, nor
quite as active. In most OF the pens it was rath-
or slow and prices were reported by majority OF
the dealers haAc off from the rates ruling last
week. yet others found the market fully as good
in prices and activity it with them, at least
OF last week, but there were scarcely as many of
them, while there was a longer line OF middle and
common cattle. We quote at 00a$5 80 per 100 lbs.
