1t Ia true that Beecher escaped Il YER
dict OF a july, as he escaped Tho adlnie0'on
in court Ct the testimony which would
have hanged him IL he had been on If'a1
for his lie. He did not escape IL YER
dict OF that larger aud more important
Jury before which all the testimony was
submitted, and which regretInlly Dut
confidently found him guilty. Apart from
any trouble which his own conscience
may give him, Mr. Bsecher has been q
fortunate mau. He has not lost his occu'
patton. lie still retains his hold on ply'
mouth church. Ho is still IN demand as
a public speaker in his own country a
curious interest still attaches to tho course
he may ctoose and the part he may play
in the political movements Oh the INNS
Abroad he IL received as never before
Pious men and women and the highest
dlgnitaries OF q great realm, feel it an
honor to do him homage.
Tho distinction Ia the more inexplicably
marked because the two cases are go nearly
parallel. Ia each case there was a vito

OF reputation heretofore unspotted In the
public estimation; u wite's confession; a
pursuing husband; the general and cir
c~unstantial denial OF the accused; a mass
Of destroying testimony; in the public
mind the absolute conviction OF guilt.
Why the one should escape all tho pains
and penalties OF Ills lechery, and the other
fall swiftly under the crushing burden o.
his disgrace, Is something not to be ex'
planned by the essential difference in the
merits or delnerils OF either case, Per-
