WHAT BEEcHEB Is DETERMINED TO Do BE-
FORE He DIES. Henry Ward Beecher, hav-
ing been asked to reply to certain Boston
criticisms of his recent actions, wrote: II
have read the somewhat large expressions Of
these many and excellent men in regard to
my orthodoxy, consistency, influence and
general merit, without wishing for a moment
to reply, as you kindly request me. When a
dead man is lying on the dissecting table, I'M
der tho hands of experts, it would be unbe-
coming in him to raise up suddenly and dis
cuss with his surgeons the propriety Of their
methods and the truth of results. 1t is not
often that one can see himself as others see
him, and especially as Boston sees him, and
more than all, as Boston clergymon see him.
l am reduced TO pulp, but, thank heaven, not
to ashes. When you suggest a reply to these
1 am sure you can have no conception of the
subdued and enlightened state of my mind
| am bent on improvement Laying aside all
my old notions of my beliefs and of my stand
ing, am carefully putting together the real
man that now am taught that am. When
get my new personal identity together, and
in working shape, l intend to study theology
somewhere, though, in my present confusion,
| cannot yet see whether / shall study at An
dover or Boston. New Haven is nearer, but
DIR. Smyth has been settled there, and / fear
laxity of doctrine in his neighborhood. Prince
ton is not far to the south Of me, but DIR.
McCosh is Christian evolutionist, and it
would be folly, after what have suffered, to
come under the malarial influence of that
philosophy. On the whole, incline to study
at Park street. But, wherever l may 90,
am determined before die to find theology
that will pass muster at Bangor, at Andover,
at Cambridge, at New Haven, at Princeton,
at Allegheny, at Oberlin, at Chicago, and at
Park street Then shall willingly die"

despatch has been received from South
Carolina, stating that at Edgefeld where the
noted massacre of colored Republicans occur
red some years ago, the red shirts, organized
in clubs, have prevented the Republicans from
holding meetings, and have threatened the
life of E. NJ. Brayton, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in that district Tilman,
the Democratic candidate in this district, who
was elected from the present House of Rep

say he will do these things if he is elected,
but only if he receives a certificate of cleo,

approved South Carolina methods,

The movement to admit Dakota as a state
came to a sudden halt when it was known
that some Yankton county bonds had been
repudiated by action OF the territorial legisla-
ture. AT recent mass meeting of the voters
of the repudiating county it was unanimously
agreed to pay the full amount of the debt
$350,O0O. The voters protested against the
payment of the debt, but the facts and theii
own final action are against them. A new eff
fort to have the territory admitted to the
Union will now be made, probably.

During the star-route trial the defence
seemed to have marvellous instinct or intui-
tive perception of the prosecutions inten-
ions, which enabled the accused to forestall
the proofs of their guilt by some plausible
theory or presentation of alleged facts all of
which could only have been prepared several
days in advance of the prosecutions testi-
mony. Itnow appears that several officers
and clerks in the Department of Justice
were acting as spies on their superiors for
the purpose of saving the defendants from
conviction, and the facts in the possession of
the department and the intentions of the At
torney General were quickly reported to the
attorneys for the defence. Dickson, the
foreman of the jury which failed to convict
the conspirators, is under arrest charged
with conspiring to obtain money from the
government for the obstruction of Justice
and violating the law by presenting before
the jury a certain paper, in which he falsely
alleged that he had been eorruptly up,
preached by agents of the government.

1t is only few years since the interior of
Africa stood for all that was mysterious in
geography. The imagination alone could
penetrate the jungles of that unexplored con-
tinent, and the question, Where does the
Nile take its rise could not be settled. Now
travellers have marched across Africa, and
cleared up many of its mysteries, and rail
roads are beginning to penetrate it in various
directions. The latest undertaking of this
kind is that of the Frenchmen who are to be-
gin the construction of a railroad between the
Niger and Senegal rivers, The light of civil
lization goes with the locomotive, and in a
few years more the mystery about Africa will
be thing of the past.

Republican managers in New Hampshire and
within the past week efforts have been put
forth which seem to give hope of turn of

Republicans. 1t is pretty well demonstrated
that the hostile action of wadloigh and his in
dependents is based on hatred of Chandler
and Hale, and the mass of Republican voters
seem to be waking up to a realization of the
fact that personal dislikes and quarres should
not be allowed to defeat the Republican party.

Republicans who are intelligent believers
in the fundamental principles of their party
can afford to wait with equanimity for the re-
suit of next Tuesdays elections. If the Dem
ocrats carry two or more of the great states
which belong in the Republican ranks, that
fact will not indicate that the people have
changed their minds and are ready to pin their
faith on the Democracy. It will indicate,
rather, that the people are tired of national
extravaganza, political assessments, and boss.

did and sober minded men to thinking more

which exist and which mast be corrected.
