An OLD SLANDER RIvEvED.-Seme Eastern
newspaper has started the story on its annual
rounds about the fate of the men who were con-
nected with the hanging of Mrs. surratt, for con-
nrction with the assassination of President Lin
coln 1t contains the usual assertion that Sec
retary Stanton committed suicide by cutting his
throat, and the new statement that John A. Bing-
ham lives in Ohio, a drunken sot, who burst not
for moment trust himself alone" We have
nothing to say in defence Of the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt. It was Q needless and cruel piece OF
business but some allowance must be made for
tho terrible state of public feeling at that time
But the story of the suicide Of Stanton is q lie
that cannot gain much foothold by being well
stuck to. In recent conversation with ex- Sen
ator Pomcroy, he informed rs that he visited
Stanton during his last sickness, and after bis
death, and that there was not even ground for
suspecting suicide, and there was no hint or in
timation of such thing, at the time. As to
John A. Bingham, instead Of being in Ohio, q
drunken sot, be is, and has been for years. United
States Minister to Japan, where he now resides,

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK, December 10, 1873.
We heard Gen. Benz. F. Butler, last week, at the
dairy exhibition of the American Institute He talk
ed about. butter cheese. milk ETC., very fuently.
We were surprised to see how well versed he seemed
to be in matters pertaining to the farm Statistical
lectures usually dry and uninteresting, but Mr.
Buffers speech exception. The audience
listened intently from beginning to end, and went
away with new ideas and information. During the
lecture two or three cows which on exhibition
in the Institute building beloved ont unceremoni-
ousy to the confusion Of Mr. Butler and the sport Of
the audience. Perhaps they objected to the speak
ers saying anything about the dairy exports of the
United States At any rate, they seemed to say,
'cheese that" in their dissatisfied believing. Mr..
Butler Is interesting spectacle on the platform
He has such comical manner of looking at bis man.
uscript-sort of sidewse, like child beginning to
learn how to look at pcture-and his bald head
looks so sleek and polished.
The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmnge continues to draw
immense crowds at his Tabernacle, in Brooklyn.
He is not the only attraction. A great many 60 to
hear Arbuckle, the great cornetist Talmage's SEN
sational manner of forcing his doctrine surpasses
anything we ever heard on the platform in the
pulpit-so unlike Beechers mild, eloquent, convinc-
ing argument. Talmage, like q hurricane, blows at
the iceberg of sin till it totters and falls, but leaves
pieces still on the surface; Beecher like the sun,
sends forth his rays and mets the iceberg till not
block is left. Beechers work is mot for day, but
for all time" Shakespeare perhaps would put it;
Talmage's work is for day only. Talmage draws
the biggest crowds; Beecher's crowds are the more
intelligent.
Edwin Booth is probably the greatest living dein-
Gator of Shakspeares tragedies; if there any
peror to him, We have not learned the actors name

WESTERN FARMERS ALNANAC.-This old ia
vorite has made its City second annual appear
snce, and 9 copy is now before us. Besides the
calendar, astronomical calculations, and other
usual almanac matter, it is q book Of instruction

articles on the various subjects that mostly in

likewise; for among the myriad of Almanacks
that have come and gone, it remains favorite.

worth the money.

Stevenson, Methodist Presiding Elder Of the
Dayton District, who was recently found in the
streets Of that city in beastly state Of intoxi.
cation. The explanations and excuses offered
are voluminous, and the poor man will probably
be adjudged insane. Il is rather mortifying, but
as angels in Heaven once fell, it is not to be
wondered at that Methodist preacher occa-
siouslly slips up. But it has occurred To rs,
thai il it had been Bob Ingersoli who was found
drunk, the papers that are now 50 busy weaving
mantles of charity to throw over this man,
would be just as .ealous in trying to show that
his conduct was the legitimate result Of In6

DESERVED HOSoRs.- Among recent appoint
meuts and re-sppointments as Posfmasters in
Kansas, we notice the names of A. ID. Brown, at
Burlington, Jacob Stotler, at Emporia, and NJ
NJ. Muriock, at Wichita. These gentlemen are
all editors, and number of other editors in the
State are Postmasters. We congratulate them
upon their luck. They deserve the positions.
Editors do more gratntous work for the party
than any other class of people, and are more
poorly paid for their labor than any other branch
of business. These Offices will assist them in
making living that the newspaper barely at
fords. The celebrated statesman, Guthrie, caused
q resolution to be introduced in the Manhattan
Convention condemning the practice of giving
Offices to newspaper publishers, and many law
makers are sctuated by the same principle. But
we do not believe that majority of the Repre-
sentatises of the Republican party eau ever be
induced to favor any measure looking to the
crippling or starving of the newspapers that
have done so much for the party.

AND We STILL LIvE.-The other day, We
chanced to fish up from dark nook, an old, din
Ky newspaper. We found it to be q copy of a
Kansas paper, dated almost nineteen years ago,
protesting to be Douglas Democratic in politics.
and carrying the names of two editors at its
head. In it we found u leading editorial article
denouncing and abusing Gov. Robinson. This
is one sentence from the article:
Zone year ago, he the first of his party-now
there is found but Republican paper to defend
him. and that the lowest, most obscene and vulgar
political sheet in the Republic-the White Cloud
Chief"
Nineteen years have passed. D1nglas is dead.
The Chief mas recorded the death of both those
editors-d-atbs, both of them, that their frie ii'
wouid wish forgotten. One Of them died crus-
ing his friends aud disappearing his NJ Miksr; the
other died eaten up with whiskey. The CHIEF
has survived many similar attacks, since that
time. Gov. Robinson also lives. He served ont
his term as Governor honorably, iu spite of all
the efforts Of powerful and unscrupulous enc
mics to disgrace him aud be has for several
terms represented the second County in the
State in the State Senate, of which body he Is
now member. During all that time, the Chic
has defended him, and we believe to day that il
was right in doing SO. Perhaps the Chief will
live, when men who are now following the ex
ample of the editors above spoken of, are, like
them, rottng in unknown graves.
