TUB BEK( DEB SCANDAL,
This is the most scandalous scan
dal ever foisted upon the ear of the
public, and is furnishing gossip and
prattle for every sewing bee ana tea
party in the land. The disgusting
details are burdening the telegraph
wires with their slimy weight and
filling the newspaper columns with
their nauseating particularity and at
trocious minuteness. It is one of
the most evident manifestations of the
degeneracy and immodesty of the
times that these glaringly suggestive
details are crowding decontli'.erature
from the family paper and are read
with feverish interest by the whole
civilized world.
It is evident from the tone of the
standard Eastern papers that Beech
er's defense is considered weak and
unsatisfactory among even his great
est adinuers and defenders, while
the public generally are united on
the opinion of his guilt of this most
heinous and damning crime. It in
sad that it' so sad for society; sad
for civilization; sad for Christianity;
sad for Faith in humanity and -in
Holier tilings.
The Oreyonian tells us that ''A. B.
Merchant drew pay as Modoc Peace
Commissioner up to last February.
The Commission had ceased to exist
long before that time, the Modocs
had been tried before a military court
and those of them that were con
victed had been hanged noarly six
months before February. It is woll
known the Commission existed but a
few weeks. And yet Meacharn drew
pay for a whole year $0,000." This
the most outrageous steal of the past is
year, and a Government that would
countenance and endorse such
transaction ought to be denounced
by the whole civilizod world.
IMPROVEMENT 01? THE WILLAMETTE.
An important meeting of the Linn
County Central Grange Association
was held in this city last Tuesday to
devise the most effective and speedy
method of securing the early im
provement of the Willamette River
and its opening to navigation the
year round. After the private bui- j
ne3s of tlie Association Had coon
completed the doors were thrown
open and the public invited into the
hall, when appropriate and stirring
addresses were delivered by A. S.
Mercer, Col. Teal and otheri, show
ing the benefits to accrue to our citi
zensboth farmers and townspeople
by this most important enter
prise. At the conclusion of the
address it was decided to ap
point a committoe of five perons
three on behalf of the Grangers and
farmers and two on behalf of the city
of Albany whoso duty it should be
to solicit contributions, lot the con
tract to responsible parties, and dis
burse the funds collected for the pur
pose of improving tho river along
the margin of Linn county. The
Association appointed Messrs. W. F.
Alexander, C. P. Burkhart and E.
A. Irvine, and by request tho Com

pointed Messrs. J. H. Haekleman

A CONTRAST.
The McMinnvillo Reporter of last
week takes us to task in the most
sarcastic vein for some remarks wo
made a few weeks ago in regard to
the mismanagement of the national
finances; and that paper assumes
to assert that the pecuniary affairs of
our nation nro ably and efficiently
managed. As an evidence of the er
roneous (or ignorant) viow of this
jhohr ov toe bkkciikr scandal.
Sas Fiuscisoo, July 27. The re

cupies nearly four columns of the

tween our own country and another
in respect to financial management.
It is now nearly ten years sinco the
war of the rebellion closed by the
triumph of the Union armies. It is
only three yean and a quarter since
the French concluded a war in which
the whole brunt of l.f:e buttie had to
be borne by Ihcmselveu and the
whole tremendous cost of failure to
bo paid by their population. Tho
men who fought France put their
foot upon the throat of tho unhappy
nation. Wo lost only what is always
lost in battle. They paid their con
querers $1,000,000,000 in gold for
fine and $1,000,000,000 more in sus
tenance. Yot to-duy their ciirronoy
is at par value, their war loan at u
premium, and their lopped and
truncated country goes on its way
rejoicing in spite of political trou
bles. We havo no political troubles
that can impair our financial credit,
vassing for subscriptions. Let no but we nre in a very different posi-
GrauND to be Hakued. His Excel
lency, Gov. Grover, has rofused to
commute the death penalty in the
case of Thos. G errand, convicted of
murder at the last term of Circuit
Court in Marion county. So this
unfortunate young man, who wilfully
and with malice in his heart, as was
proven on trial, took tho life of a fel
low man, is compelled to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law, We
cannot but think Gov. Grover has
decided justly and rightly ia this
grave case, and that the ends of jus-J
tice demand that Gorand's life should
be forfeited for his most heinous of
fence.
A TEnmno storm occured at Fitts

219 lives were lost, It is impossible
to estimate tho loss of property, but
it is immense. Whole blocks of build

Fifty more bodies had been recovered

mated at 100,000,000.

The Columbia and Willamette
Hiver Barge Company, juatorgnnized

lsmetto to Astoria. Tho two barges
can bring as much wheat at ono trip
as will load a largo vessel, and for
half tho cost of tho present rates.

Of the scene in Tilton's bed chamber,
he savs: when Mrs. Tilton opened
tlio door, Beochersat in an eaiv chair,
with vest, unbuttoned, and blushing
red ns a rose. Mrs. Tilton explained
that she wanted a quiet talk with
Bcech-r, and they locked themselves
in tho chamber to avoid interruption
by tho children. At that time, he
accepted the statement as true. She
always insisted to him that she could
see nothing wrong in her intimacy
with Beecher. She regarded him as
nearly Jesus Christ himself.
The Daily Graphic gives an outline

The Graphic says the document will

and will make some confessions which
will create as trreat surprise as rlirl
Tilton's now famous presentation of
nis alleged personal grievances.
Beecher will acknowledge that since
the beginning of his ministry he has
neon ueset by letters addressed to h m
irom women, expressing great person-
' ttuiinriuion, imieea, oi mm as a
man and minister. lie will show
that communications of this nature
are constantly received by every
noted man m the community, and
mat it is a special annoyance of
clergymen, roets and actors to be the
recipients of these abnormal demon
strations. Altera general stattsment,
Mr. Beecher will allude to the case
of Mrs. lilton. who, it seems, con
ceived for him a most .extravagani
passion. Knowing the lady from
ciiminoou, linvinr; married her to her
husband, and havii g been on term
of close relationship with both, he
was lod by a Btrango infatuation to
submit to her blandishments and an
intimacy was formed which, while it
wus (not eriniimil was reprehensible
or at least put him in a position which
made him seem to do went wronii to
Tilton. Ho will confess that both he
and Mrs. lilton were very emotional
mid given to exaggeration in senti
ment, and that that correspondence
between them was not what should
have existed between a pastor and
huly, and that lady the wife of his
friend. But the peculiarity of the
caso was that Mrs. Tilton complained
bitterly of her husband's self-sufficiency,
want of kindness to her, and
possililo infidelity, uud she looked
up to Mr. I'.ecchor to give her that
affection and sympathy which she
failed to find at home. Bdecher will
acknowledge that he was tried with
temptation, that ho allowed kindness
and expressions of sympathy nnd
tenderness by Mrs. Tilton, and thut
ho reciprocated them to a great ex
tent, so much so that while not
actually guilty of any wrong to Til
ton ho so far compromised himself
and tho lady as to render necessary,
