He BELIEVES THE NEWSPAPERS RET4RD CHRIS

TAN PROGRESS.
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune.
New YoRK, MAY ls--Mr. Beecher devoted a
good share of his sermon to-day to the news
papers. Talking Of the difficulties In the way
of Christian progress, he said: 1.-THE second
difficulty is the ma1ign and morbid influence Of
the newspapers. The great newspapers arc in
the habit OF selecting their news to
suit the tastes Of all, from. the
top to the very bottom Of human nature. So:
ciety compels men to wear clothes, but the
newspapers don't allow them to wear even rags.
No man can walk the streets naked but be is
shown up in the newspapers in all his naked
ness. Nothing is hidden from sight. No
doubt they are all noble channels OF learning
and intelligence, and Inspirations to virtue
and patriotism. and valuable as such. NcVerthe-
ess, they have their common sewer at the bottom,
aud out Of lit come mephitic gases that invade our
dwellings day by day:-a representative Of that
side II mau which is lowest and most ANIMAL
| picture Of that which is most repugnaut to
Christian morality and deicacy. II objection is
made,
| Is: We publish paper Us a matter of busi-
ness- we are not preachers or schoolmasters.
We are vendors. We publish a paper to sell,
and, although We would not indulge in that
which is criminal for the sake OF selling papers,
that which the public want and will
have We undertake to supply them
With II We. do not, our rivals
Wi1i.' Many will say: I'VE wish we had not got
to do it, but, as things are, We are obliged to-
And there is great force in that, although no
excuse. But it rolls off: them the burden, and
lays it upon the people. Ii the people would
not read such news the papers would not print
it. They expose this carrion in the markets OF
the world. ,:;.;: -
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PURCHASERS
OF it. OF course, there are those who stand
high and have nothing to do with it, those who
stand low and won't have anything else, and q
great intermediate class who don't approve it,
but buy the papers to see what they say. what
brutal murder las been committed: what hideous
sensation. what.murder, what fouling of an un->
soiled name, who Is on the whipping post,
who hanging from the gallows,-and so this
news is sent abroad every day, and comes into
| our houses to be read by our children and our
servants, and also, too often, BY ourselves" As
for him, he hated 1t, and would sooner sit down
to hanouet Of filth than sit down to read any,
thing OF this kind. The effect upon the mind
must be bad. "Rome had her gladistors,

the Congress, and his opinions command great
weight from the amount OF careful research
which they presuppose. His report to-day vas
very general in its character, not being devoted
to the advocacy Of any particular route ou1
rather to: give an estimate OF the bearings
Of the enterprise as whole, anu
to make clear the fact, which some OF the mem
bcrs Of the Congress are apt to oVerlooR' that
the United States will necessarily be the largest
gamer by the Inter-O Oceanic Canal, no matter
what route may be adopted.
PLEASANT EPISODE
of the Congress was erand dinner given last
night to twenty OF its leading members by
Admiral La Roncfere LIE Nourry, President OF
the Geographical Society at Paris, at the
Cercle des Champs Elysees. II. dc Lesseps made
the speech OF the evening, in which he TOOK
occasion to speak in teras of the highest admir-
ation of the clear aafforcible presentation Of
the merits Of the Nicaraugua route made by
Mr. Alenocal in his five honrs' discourse OF yes
terdaY. This is considered an Indication OF the
prevailing sentiment Of the Congress in favor Of
what is generally known as
THE *sTHE AMERICAN PROJECT"
though there arc ether routes ably advocated
here BY other distinguished Americans. 1t Is
announced that NJ. de Lesseps will give q
grand banquet to, the leading members
Of the Congress on Thursday, the ed
inst. It is expected that the labors OF that body
will have reached a practical decision by that
time, and that they will be completed during the

WAsH1SeroN, D. c., May 18.-The annual
