BEBCUEB'8 LAST SERMON.
On our first page we giveBeecher's
statement and explanation of the
great scandal. The document is char
acteristically Beecherian abound
ing in beautiful rhetoric, elegant
rhapsody, and glittering ambiguity.
It is one of his neatest and most
pointless sermons the most notable
specimens of forensic eloquence that
has ever emanated from hiB gifted
pen. ' Asis graphically said of a noted
stumpi orator's most brilliant effort,
"its scope"is broader, its rhetoric
grander, and its periods more per
fectly rounded than anything on the
same theme ever fulminated from
fiery thought and unbounded im
agery." It is like his sermons written to
please the fancy rather than to con
vince the reason; and fails lamentably
to give any specific denial or tangible
proof of his innocence of the heinous
offence charged against him. After
reading his statement we regret to be
compelled to say that we are only
more fully convinced of his guilt.
There can be scarcely any question
about the matter. We believe if
evory journalist of the Nation were
to speak out honestly and frankly
upon the subject he would agree with
us.
The Investigating Committee, ap
pointed by himself from his own con
gregation, may kalsoniiue him until
his character shall shine as a whitcd
sepulchre, but the putrid, fostering
mass of corruption will still remain
within that polished shell, a stench in
the nostrils of more decent but loss
notorious Christianity than that of
the Plymouth Church Bchool.
THE OUTLOOK FOIl TONNAGE.
Notwithstanding the confidence ex
pressed by our farmers and business
men generally for some time past,
that there would be ample tonnage
on the Coast to carry hence our sur
plus grain, ,nnd that prices of grain
would therefore necessarily rule high,
there now appears to be some reason
to fear that so far at least as Oregon
is concerned these expectations may
not be wall founded. Commercial
reports show, present and prospect
ively, a large increase over former
seasons of merchant vessels on the
Pacific Coast, and Borne of those ves
sels ore, it seems, undor charter to
carry wheat from the Columbia river,
but the charter partios havo nq wheat
to load the ships, and the farmers are
not inclined to sell at the prices ship
pers can from present prices in
Europe afford to pay. Should there
not bo sufficient wheat offered within
the next two or three weeks to load
those vessels now in waiting, thoy
will leave our wators for some other
port lor a roturn cargo, and the ro
sult will bo to place our grain ex
porters at a great disadvantage in so
curing vossols when thoy may have
the grain in Btoro to ship. Whother
this is a short sighted policy on the
part of farmers- who hove the grain
ready, or whether the shippers, actod
precipitately in chartering the ves
sels we are not proparod to say, but
greatly fear the result if .the shipB
should bo compelled to leave without
a cargo.

At tho M. E. Conforonce now in

which much bad blood was mani

. Albast, Aug. 20th, 1874.
Editor Democrat:
During the late political campaign
much was said in reference to, and
denunciations without measure were
hurled at the law passed by the last
Legislature requiring a uniform series
of text books to be used in the com
mon schools of this State. It was
said that the adoption of a uniform
series of text books in our schools
was creating and fostering a monop
oly, while others declared that it was
oppressive, as it required a change of
books to some extent, and that the
Legislature had transcended its
powers when it assumed to determine
what books Jones, Brown and Smith
and all other putrons of the public
schools should provide for their chil
dren, in order to secure to them the
benefits of our common school sys
tem.
The proposition that every child of
the same grade in a particular school
should use the same kind of books ia
a proposition not to be controverted,
but the question is asked why require
every school district in the State to
use the same text books? The reason
is obvious. The teacher in district
No. 1 prefers Wilson's series of books,
and the teacher in district No. 10
prefers Watson's, and thobooks are
providod, but it so happens in the
course of time that teachers are
changed and the new teacher for No,
1 may be the one who taught the
school in district No. 10, and he pre
fers AVatson's instead of Wilson's, and
the patrons of the school are required
tonicurthe expense of a change of
books. A change of books almost
invariably followod when there was a
change of teachera, and so frequout
wero theso changes that parents and
guardians groaned under the burden,
and demanded of the Legislature a
uniform series of text books, to the
use of which teachers as well as par
ents must conform. This demand
the Legislature heeded, and made a
libcrul provision for the selection mid
adoption of the books to be used
throwing the responsibility of choos
ing the books upon the superinten
dents of public instruction of the
several counties of the State, and
if tho law is permitted to remain upon
our statute book, the patrons of our
common schools will not be required
to change books again until the 1st
of October, 1876, and not then if the
present series should be approved at
that timo.
But it is said it is a monopoly. It is
no more a monopoly than the adop
tion of Wilson's, Watson's, Town's
or any othor series of text books, for
all of these authors or the publishers
have the copy-right. But it was said
the prico was greater. Of this I'
know nothing, except what I gather
from tho publishers prices of the
several series, from which I take tho
price of Wilson's readers as oompared
with the Pacifio Coast readers the
lattor being the series adopted in this
State Wilson's readers from first to
fifth, inclusive, cost f-t.05. The Pa
cifio Coast readers cost from first to
fifth inclusive, $Jt,75, a difference iu
favor of tho latter of fl.20 for the
sot. So that objection, as do all the
prooeding objections named, fall to
tho ground.
As to tho merits of the Pacifio
Coast Borios of books compared with
any other series I know nothing. If
inferior it is not the fault of the law,
but the mistake of the superintend
auts'of common schools tor the sev
eral oounties of the Stto who Toted
to adopt them. It was a wise pro
vision of tho law that the solection of
text books should bo thus made, for
the toachors are supposed to be more
competent than the Legislature to
decide Buch a quostion, and -id be
more in sympathy with the patrons
of the schools than the Legislature or
tho State board of education. For
tho reason here offorod and many
more that might bo offered, I trust
tho Legislature will pormit tho law to
stand as it is that it may have a fair
trial. WILLAMETTE,

A young lady in San Francisco is
engaged to ft gentleman who, through :
his recklessness has well nigh caused
! her dheath oa several occasions.
About three months since this young
man, when on the point df separating
lrom his affianced until the next eve
ning, made a mistake in his selection
of overcoats in the hall, and, finding
a revolver in the pocket, he drew it
out and commenced toying with the
weapon. It wis accidently discharged
as a natural consequence, and the
young lady received a severe wound
in the arm. This mishap retarded
the courtship for a time, but the
maiden finally recovered, and the
current of true love was gliding very
placidly again, when she accepted an
invitation to ride out with her lover.
The couple had scarcely started when
the horse' ran away, the buggy was
capsized, and the young lady was
thrown donw a bank, sustaining a
fracture of the leg and severe bruises.
This accident will again defer thecal-
minatton of this disastrous courtship
for several months longer. With pa

dence however, they may be happy
yet.
The Salem Statesman gives the fol

which happened near Frank Cooper's

afternoon, the 14th niBt., a man by the
name ofMurdook went to "Silverlon
and procuring some whiskey, became
very much intoxicated. Leaving
Silverton about dark, he started home.
Reaching his house, and being ren
dered crazy by the liquor he had
drank, he started after his wife with
the evident intention of killing ber.
She attempted to get out of bis i way,
and going out of the house, ran around
it, her husband in hot pursuit. As
Mr. Murdock was turning the corner
of the house, still endeavoring to
catch his wife, he was met by his son
Robert, a man grown, who was armed
with a club, With which he struck his
father. The blow fell upon the fore
head, and with such force as to mash
the skull, killing the old man instantly
At tho time our informant left Silver
ton no arrest had been made of the
younger Murdock, nor had there
been any steps taken in reference to
the matter. The man who was killed
was a very notorious character, and
perhaps he deserved no better fate,
for his attempting to take the life of a
woman, and she his wife.
