emblem Of commerce and trade, float
ing at the peak of American vessels.
On the whole the year just closed
has been eventful, and in some respects
exceptional in its features. But it is
passed and gone, and we look forward
to 1878 with gratitude for the past and
faith for the future.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1878-01-05

LAST New Year day the American
people regarded the future with much
greater misgiving than they do to-day.
After all deductions have been made
on the score of the wild schemes of
Initiation, Reputation, and substituting
that still threaten the national treas
ury and the national honor; after the
continuous revelations of fraud in pri-
vate business and in corporate manage
ment have been taken into account
and after it has been frankly conceded
that the trade of the country has not
revived so quickly as was expected,
there remain many good reasons for
hope and confidence which did not ex-
lst year ago. Chief among these is
the fact that all commercial values have
undergone readjustment without Undue
ing general disaster that business is
being done on the new basis of low
prices and diminished profits with in
creased ease and safety, and that the
logic of facts is demonstrating, in spite
of the demagogue and the bankrupt
Spectator, that imitation will no longer
initiate. 1t is quite probable that the
force of such reasons for faith in the
future is not very generally appreciated.
and that continuance of the state of
things which they describe is, in many
quarters, not very ardently desired.
TIT the conviction is growing, never
9s5z5s, that the path of wisdom lies in

The dark shadow of the war clouds
that are slowly enveloping Europe
makes the peaceful opening of our own
new year seem bright by contrast
Last year we could almost match the
dismal forebodings over the issue of
the Constantinople Conference with the
fears that were entertained of some
violent sequel to the dispute over the
result Of the Presidential election
Now, we have 50 completely recovered
from our scare on that subject that it
will be found as difficult to obtain from
this Congress attention to plans for
amending the constitutional provisions
for the election Of President as it was
before we had any experience of the
dangers Of contested election. OF
political uncertainties and perplexites,
the year opens with more than enough,
but they have lost their power to eX-
cite even Jealous partisans, and in spite
OF the efforts of men who are nothing
If not leaders of faction, all the coDd-
tons Of the time are favorable to the
bunting OF political animosites and to
the forming Of closer relations between
the practical necessities of the country
aud the legislation which ought to min
lister to them.

JUSTICE TO MIR. BEECHER.

Several of Mr.. Brecher's admirers found
fault with the remarks of Tie Times upon
his recent abolition of hell, and asserted
that his sermon had been grossly perverted
MIR. Beecher himself seemed to share this
opinion, for in the next number of his re-
lIgious newspaper the public was informed
that the publication Of a correct version OF
his sermon, as distinguished from the YER
sion which appeared i'll the daily press would
soon be made. The last issue of the news
paper in question contains what it calls " a
full and authentic report of the sermon, in
which the following paragraph occurs:
Tell ME that back of CHRIST there is a
GOD who unnumbered centuries has gone
on creating men and sweeping them like
dead tiles-nay, like living ones-iuto hell
is to ask me to worship being as much
worse than the conception of any medieval
devil as can be imagined; but | will not
worship the devil, though he should come
dressed in royal robes and set on the throne
of Jehovah. will not worship cruelty"
If this is not distinct Reputation of the
orthodox doctrine of hell, what is it Mr..
Beecher asserts with vehemence curious
.ly like that of certain professional Atheists.
that he refuses to believe that GOD creates
men and then intilcts upon them everlasting
punishment. He must, then, either dis
believe in the exi>tence of hell or he must
tbelieve that Cop created men. The
latter theory no Theist can possibly hold
and as Mr.. Beecher is still kind enough to
recognize the existence of a COP. it follows
that he must deny the existence of hell.
This is what The Times recently affirmed
of him, and it is difficult to SEQ how he can
pretend that Injustice was done him.
There is no reason for assuming that Mr..
Beechers denial of the existeuce of hell is
TO be followed by his denial of all the other
dogmas of Christianity. Were he to openly
ranpe himself on the side of secularism or
atheism. his elunuence and zeal miph, il
is feared. iDtict serions iniury unon RI.
Christian religion. Of this there is. how
ever. no danger. Now that he has thrown
hell overheard, we NAV expect that he will
consent to retain what is left to the Chris
rian faith No man who disbelieves in
future punishment need have any objection
to the moral law. A man who is addicted
IN robbery and dislikes to On tn nrison
will naturally dislike the law which makes
robberp a punishable offppse. Int if
policemen, magistrates. and prisons were
to be abolished, and he could rob with alb
solute impunity, he would cease to feel any
active hatred of the law. In like manner

horror was referred to; and, in order to Sc

Mutiiating a Corpse.

The people OF Rising Sun, Ind, are labor
ing under great excitement over some
CHASTITY developments, in nature something
similar to our Harrison-Devin horror.
A few months ago quack arrived at that
place, and not securing enough gullible pa
tients to fill his pockets, suicided. A few
days later his corpse was arranged in sit
ting posture i'll the office of one of the Ris-
ing Sun doctors, and was fantastically and
shanefully adorned being set off by an old
clay pipe, which was forced between the
jaws, hard clenched in the spasms ef death.
Finally they SIX med the corpse, and after
manipulating the body to their hearts con-
tent, they hurled the flesh into the street,
where the fostering pieces were found by
school-boys, who at once proceeded to bonn
bard each other with the chunks.
1t is also alleged that the skin of the
corpse is undergoing process of tanning
The matter will probably be brought be-
fore the Ohio County Grand Jury.
