Portions of the testimony in the

ed from day to day to the daily

to be gaining ground, however,
that the Investigating Committee
are determined to render a verdict
of acquittal in favor of Beecher, and
to that end have unhesitatingly re
fused to hear or receive any testi
mony that would in the least mili
tate against the rendering of such a
verdict. For the sake of public
morals and the cause of Christianity
throughout the world, we hope that
this opinion may prove unfounded ;
that the Committee will carefully
and honestly sitt all the evidence
offered, and render a verdict in ac
cordance with all the facts. Snch
a verdict, and such only, will satisfy
the great public.

Pomeroy' a Democrat of August
8th has the following paragraph
which may prove interesting : " We
are interested to learn from the
Democrat, of Albany, Oregon, that
"Brick" Pomeroy became suddenly
rich in La Crosse moved to New
York and became richer, then failed
in business, and is now making a
living by writing for wages, thus
proving that vulgarity will work
the ruin of a man, etc ,etc. It nev
er will do to give it tip so, Mr.
Brown! Why not farther state
that in addition to all the above, he
is now in jail for arson, at work on
a canal, selling peanuts at a circus,
and in the hospital for the croup.
Nothing like being correct when
making such statements. Those
who lie will steal, and the people of
Oregon will do well to keep a look
out for their State Printer." Isn't
it strange that these Democratic
brothers can't agree, but must con
tinually be "blowing" on each other?
