LIGHT sREAkING rom nxEonrn.

To-day the Bsecher scandal Is again
forced upon the public, but this time in
a form which will cheer the hearts Of
those friends Of the great clergyman
WHO have steadfastly maintained their
faith in his purity. through good and
evil reports. AMI Of that much larger
class who. believing tho charges. have
srioved sorely to see tho clergy disgraced
in the person Of u Of its most promi-
nent leaders. This time 1t is Mr..
Beechsr. and not Theodore Tiltou. who
COMES to the front n tho complainant.
He has rested for years under . heavy
weight OF suspicion. rsvilsd by the e n g.
mics Of religion, and heartily dsspised
by very many good Christians. He has
borne 1t al with . patience and courage
which has done much to disarm his
foes. and very much more to cheer and
encourage his friends. II Henry Ward
Bsechsr is u guilty man. then he
is the most perfect hypocr,s that
God Almighty ever created. There has
been nothing Of the brazsn bearing Of a
psrjursd man deiying public opinion in
his actions. He has gone quietly on. in
spite OF public opinion. preaching the
gospel. the fundamental principles OF
which be is accused OF violating. The
more his enemies have aeitatsd the great
scandal. the more favorable It has APP
psarsd to his side. aud the closer his
friends have rallied to his support. And
nov appears Q witness In the penon Of
Sir. Mix, whose relations to Tilton and
Moalton. and Woodruff. and all the
dlthy crew who have been b-smirching
our newspaper literature for years. were
confidential and close throughout all the
operations which eliminated IN the
scandal. who pronouncss the whole
thing q base conspiracy to blaekmail ths
preacher. and who. better than all.
claims to have the documentary proof To
establish his charge.
What Q thrill will 20 through the re-
lisious world to-day. as these words are
flashed across the wire' To what an
exalted position will Henry Ward
Bsechsr rise. from the slough Of suffer
ing and soul martyrdom. in which ho
has rested for the past i've years. IL the
charges Of this new witness are prevent
of him 1t may we'll be said. as il Is said
OF his divine master. "He descended
into Hell. but has risen again to
Heaven" And what will be the pspu.
lar verdict IN the creature Theodore
Tiltonl The same that has already been
passed upon him by those who know
him best. that whether his story were
true or false. he Is a degraded specimen
Of human nature. unit TO associate with
decent men. much less with respectable
women. The skies indeed seem bright.
ening around the head OF Henry Ward
Beecher. and all Christendom will
heartily rejoice; the black clouds OF
public disgust and loathing are settling
around Tilton. and, II the signs are not
deceptive. the time is drawing frichtfully
near when he will 10 looked upon as an
object OF utter contempt, not even dc.

times mingled with our disgust for IN

A SEw religious sect called "Puri-
iers' has arisen in the Greek Church
in Russia. The Purifiers" make
women's rights a speciality. Their main
new doctrine is that all must marry on
coming Of age. and that the wife is the
head Of the family. the husband being
required to confess his sins to his wife
once q week. 1t is to be feared that in
this new church. as in most OF the old
churches, the members will be chiefly
women.

Foreign Coins in America.

Section 1854 of the Revised Statutes,
declaring that mo foreign gold or silver
coin shall be legal tender in the payment
of debts,' besides reducing the Mexican
dollar to its mere value as bullion
about S9a cents-also reduces num-
Der of other foreign coins, which have
attained greater or less circulation in
this country. The Mexican dollar, says
the Washington Star, however. has a
much greater circulation here than any
other foreign gold OF silver coin. The
other coins affected and cut off are Ca
madam silver 53-cent, 25-cent, 2O-cent,
1O-cent and scent pieces; English frac-
tional silver--shillings and sixpences-
and limited number of German,
French and South American pieces.
Next to the Mexican dollar there are
more Canadian than any other foreign
coins in circulation in the United States.
A large number of them, Of the various
denominations mentioned above, pass
readily in New England and along the
Northern border and in most of the
Western States at their face value. Lee
gally, they are not worth near so much.
The Canadian 50-cent piece is worth, as
bullion, only about 3p5 cents, the 20
cent pieces only about 1877 cents. and
the other pieces in proportion. The
English shilling is the third in point OF
circulation of foreign coins in this coun-
try. 1t has been brought over by emil
grants or came down through Canada.
1t passes for % cents; it is worth only
about 10 cents. The French, German.
and South American gold and silver IN
this country came through the agency
of emigrants. Its quantity is very small.

A NOTABLE DEATH.
Ex-Governor Sam Bard q Victim Of Vel
low Fever.
philadelphia Times, Sept, 2Oth. }

philadelphia Times, Sept, 2Oth.)
The first prominent politician in the
south to fall by the prevailing epidemic
was Ex-Governor Sam Bard, who died at
Baton Rouge, La, yesterday. He was
native of New York city, but removed
to Louisiana when about twenty-five
years of age. In 1866 he became super
intendent of public instruction in his
adopted state and was thenceforward
rather conspicuous in politics. During
the war he served in the confederate
army. After Lees surrender he settled
at Atlanta and in 1867, abandoning the
democratic cause. entered the republi-
can ranks as an advocate of General
Grants election to the presidency.
About this time, he started the True
Genrnin'' a. Grant organ. His reward
was an appointment as governor of Ida
no, but the senate failed to confirm him
in the place. He turned back somer-
sault and landed in the democratic
camp. In 1870 his paper nominated
Governor John 7. Hoffman, OF New
York, for president, and General Cor
don, of Georgia, for vice president. The
True Georgian disappeared and was sue
ceeded by the atlanta InteAigencer, which
had even shorter lease of life. Failing
in journalism and obtaining no recogni-
ton from the democracy, he became a
republican again, and was appointed
postmaster at Chattanooga, Tennessee.
To this the Tennessee congressional del
egation objected, and he was content to
accept the postoffice at Atlanta. Here
he remained some time, meanwhile be-
ing a noisy third-termer. In 1875 a re-
moval, on the ground assigned by Post
master General Jewell that he was alto
gether "too unanimous" made him
famous. The result was that he knock
ed at the door of the democratic party
again, but was not admitted. The last
days Of his life were spent in editing the
Baton Rouge Herald.
