Our Beallsville correspondent, under
date OF the 9th, writes us:
In the REGIsTER's issue of the 18th
inst. an editorial appeared Justly de-
nouncing the Pittsburgh Christian AdrO-
cate for its vile partisanship during the
recent political campaign. Radically
vindiCtlve as it has been-muCh as it
deserves the severest condemnation of
every honest man in the Methodist or
anyother Church, it fell far short oi the
New York Christian AdrOcdtC in its ven
omous hostility to anything that would
reconcile the conflicting elements which
have so long embittered partyism in the
South, In nearly every issue preceding
the election it took particular pains TO
renew sectional hatred between the
North and South, not only by introduc-
ing revamped issues which should have
remained deeply buried End probing old
sores which, if left alone, would have
quietly healed, but repeatedly asserted
the most infamous fasehoOds to satisfy
a mean and vicious partisan spirit.
its malignantdispositiOn was especial
~ shown in resurreCting long forgotten
deeds, many of which, although con-
demnable by whOmever committed, yet
were so pregnant with eXtenuating cir
cumstanCes that to have let them rest
in oblivioD's grave would have exhibited
at least a particle of that Christian char
itv to which the sanctimoniOus writers
OF those articles are total strangers. The

political bigotry.

Trimbley, has made his third confession.
In the first he charged a man named
Daily with the crime. Daily proving an
alibi was acquitted. He and Conley were
then both indicted by the grand jury.
In his second he picked out man
named Roberts as fit subject for n
murderer, but seeing that no stock was
taken in his confessions, acknowledged
in his third that he alone did the deed
with a pistol, standing few feet in the
rear OF the wagon. He says he saluted
Trimbly and he did not return il, imme-
diately after which he shot him. He
also states that on two previous occa-
sions he met him and was prepared TO
kill him, but each time his heart failed
him. lie told where the hidden wallet
could be found, which, after little
search, was secured. He eXonerates
Conley OF any participation in the muir
der, but he has so egregiously lied that
very few believe him. The boy un-
dOubtedly has been and is bad one.
He SAYS he does not care what they do
with him, so he is not hanged.
