Thorecan bemno abjection to such mentings when they are conducted decontly. The dapger is that thoy will not bo conducted decontly, So far na they aro intended to in- fluonce the Courts In cases now pending, tloy are based upon & fundamentally wrong idea. Reports of the condition of the orops at sta- tions along the lines of the Michigan Southorn and Chicago & Northwostern Railroads are pub- lished in this morning's isswe., The prospects forsll gralnsin Indisna snd Miohigan are ex- callent, butin Ohio whoat s In bad condition, varying from one-third to two-thirds of a crop. *There ia not more than two-thirds of the aver- ago yiold of bay in any of theso Statos, Fruits are doing romarkably woll.

Tho farmers scom to regard it ns a snorifico to sbutain from planting corn, when tho climato and soil are peculiarly sdoptod for that growth, and tho effect is likely to be & crop almost equal to that of 1872 This year, howover, no disastrous consequences ‘would follow upon o large crop. ‘Wa havo beon at some paing to collect and give this morning the comments of prominent jour- nals throughout the country on Ar. Tilton's ro- cont lotter. It will bo obsorved that outside of New York thore is a goneral demand for denial or confeseion by Mr. Doecher. Somo of tho editora accept ‘Tilton's lottor as conclusive ; othors aro content with a eimple statoment of its boarings. Tho position assumed by the Now York pross is eingular, Tho World villifies Tilton in round measures ; tho Fost refuses to publish the lot- tor; tho Herald remarks that a corpse has boon xeaurrocted, and advises that it be reburied; the Zribune snys ** it may be thought expedient by Mr. Boechor and his frionds to make somo reply,” and it would be Dbaso ingratitude for this pooplo to think any evil of him before o has boon hoard, or without n stronger proof than has yoi been offorsd;" thoe Sun considers tho lettor worthy of o roply, and tho Times In- oclines to tho samo opinion, Taken altogother, the New York pross is wondorfully lenient, and mot disposed tourge the ecandal beyond the point at whioh it has alroady arrived.

Tlo last of our sermons this morning is by the Rov, II. N, Powers, of B, Jobo's Episcopal Church, Ho spoke of tho Boooher scandal, regarding it ag both sad and torriblo, but not venturing boyond this into any positive utterances. It sooms strange that tho man Mullett, Sufler- vising-Architect of tho Troasury, should got into dooper trouble concerning the awardof acon- tract for an elovator in tho Now York Post-Offico toan for his brazen snd shameless partaorslip with Bvopherd in the roofing of Government buildings, yot such seoms to bo the case, It is ovidont to the mind of the unprojudiced observer that Mullett had predetermiaed to give the olova~ tor contract to ono Davidson, and that whon Mr, Halo's bid proved to be lower than Davidson's, and Mr, Hale showed o positive determination to stand up for his rights, Mullott lost his tomper and fell to cursing like & very drab, o scullion, This Jittlo circumstanco hes producod moro comment and Indignation than all tho othor high-banded and disor- dorly acts committed by DBlullott during his whole torm of ofilco, although it fs renlly @ vory emall matter s compared with some othors, When Geo. Farneworth was in Congross he smoked out the man Mullett and oxposed him thoroughly sa a publio ofilcial de- riving an income from tho proceeds of roofing contracts, andas an bLabitusl violator of Inw. The Chieago Marine Hospital jobis still fresh in tho publio recollection, and it only remaine to bo added that, sinco Farnsworth retired from Coupress, tho Buporvising Burgeon of Marine Hospitals has rocommonded that the Chicago (Lake View) Hospital bo gold, on account of its unsuitablo location, and for tho further reason that the sick sailors can bo more cheaply cared for at private hospitals within the city limitas., Tue publio building sorvice is & whited acpulchre {ull of dead men's bonos. It would not bo a bad ides for the pooplo of the Fourth District to sond Gon, Farnsworth back to Congress ex- prosaly to finish the job of cleaning it out BEECHER-TILTON AGAIN, Mr, Beocher declines to say anything oponly in answer to the charges made againat him by Mr, Tilton, bocause, s the report goes, it would profong tho diecussion of this unpleasant sub- joct. Ho thinks that, if be koops silence, the ond of tho whole mattor will bo renohed soon. Still, it is not for his own sake fhat Mr. Boocher wants to bold his tonguo; Lo doos not fear the result of tha discussion for him- self; ho fears it for otboral Thia is Nr. Beochor’s own view. Mr, T. G.Bhoorman, who seoma to think that improper sdvances to snother man's wife aroa very small affair, is of opinion that it Mr. Beccher makes any roply e ought to be na brief as he can. One way of ending tho mattor, according to Mr. Shenrman, would be to demonstrato thatthe apologotic lottor anid to have been writton to Mr, Tilton by Honry Ward Boecher was never written by him, and nothing resombling it existe, It must be confessed that this would bo the most offective way of disposing of the wholo controversy; bub it tho letter bo & forgory, why does Mr Boocher mnot say so immediately? Why does Lo mot oud tho discussion by denying that hio ever wrote a lottor to his ac- onsor in which ho said that ho humbled himself Dofore Theodore Tilton and befors God,—a rath- or frreverontial conneotion of names, it must bo confeused,~and wished he wero doad! Thoo- dore Tilton soys that Beocher did writo anch a lottor, Xo hns givon part of the text of such a lotter to tho world, to (he * Church uulvorsal, the country, sud the age,” and given it as tho production of Mr, Beccher, Let Mr. Bocchor, if 1o can, allego that ho nover wroto such a lettor. Thop he and Tilton will bo at Issue, and the jury mey doclde botweon thom; sud it will do- cide impartially. If, 8 Mr. Bloarman more thap insinuates, Mr. Boechor nover wrota such o lettor; it Mr. Tilton sumply torged it, or pro- tonda to have rocelved it from Mr. Beecher whon ho did not, surely Mr, Beecher must know that ho mover wrote it; that he nover safd he would bhumble himeelf for somo unnamed and uncharacterized offonso boforo Tilton and befors CQod; or that, on ne- count of the samo unnamed and uncharsoterized offense, he wished Lo woro dead. Now, it Mr. Doecher doos kuow that he ia guilly of no wunnamed or un- charactorized offonso agolost XMr. Tilton; it he knows that he nover committed any such great wrong sgalost him agis Insinuated, why on oarth doos ho objoct to eaying anything in public in relation to the chargos of his no- ousor? Why doos he fear to prolong tho discussion when by ono word he ean end it, aud brand Tilton as & slandoror and & forger ? Why fusist on s *“sllont policy,” when a two- word polioy would bo moro effective ; when ho could auawer all that Tilton accuses him of by asimple plea of Not guiley? The burden of proof {a on Tilton, not on DBecohior. Astho lawyors bavo it Afirmantl non mneganti in- cumbit probatio—the proof lies on him who afirms, not on bim who donles, Why Beochor wants ' weck to determino what to do, it s hard for common poo- plo to make out, Docs Mr, Becohior want a weok to remembor whother or not ho ever committod tho offonse?

Ho nood not care to bo moro tondor to Mrs, Tilton than hor own husband s, and thore 1s no onoolso loft to bo tondor to but himeolf—unless it bo hig own wifo, His domand of & weok's timo to con- sidor what to do is simply absurd, Any man in bis position, acoused publioly of attompied soduc- tion or adultory, ought to know what to say or what to do fivo soconds aftor tho acousation was wado, ¥, PRACTIOAL REFORMERS, Tho Stato Tomporance Convention of women which met {n Ohlo recoutly pnesed a resolution in favor of roviviug the law which provides for an Inspoator of the quality of liquors, aud to punish thoir ndultoration, At last tho frionds of tomporance have mado s wise movo, and one which will eommend lisolt to tho better portion of the community, which uses wines and boors, and to the Gorman browors thomaclves who havo beon tho most activo oppononts of the temper- ance movements in Ohio. That Stato already bes & law of this kind, pnssed twonty yonrs ago, which bas become & dond lotter, and it rovival and enforcoment would bo produotive of great good. It is a motorlous fact that tho poisonoua adulterations of liquors ara tho sourcos of most of tho evils attonding the uao of Intoxicating drink, and ar tho direot means of maddoning and erazing mon, Incoun- trios whare pure wines andbeors aro sold, drank- onnens and its attondant crimos aud horrors aro comparatively unknown, No srgument can bo ndduced which is vaiid against such a law. Buppose tbat grooors wero selling flour, or sugar, or tos, so adultoratod with poison- ous compounds that they ondangered not only the health but the safoty of tho family and the community, How long would it be bofore iu- speotors would bo appointed and thoe poldonoua stuff condemned and destroyed, and the sollor of it punished ? If the publio can thus be pro- tected in what it eats, why should it not bo pro- toctod in what it drinks? If liquor must bo sold and mon must drink—and both these facts are pretty conclusivo If the oxporience of cen- turies ls of any nmccount—then lot it bo imperativo that only pure lquors shall ba mold. Lot tho drinker bave =& romedy against the dealer ina law which will protect him, and lot him have & compotent chemist npon whom he mny call at any timo to ascortain whother heis drinking pure or polsoned liquors. There can bo no objection against such & protection, and tho tomperance pgople of Ohio have at lnst made & demand which should bo in- slsted upon by the whole public. Theso dealors who oppose it aro prima facie guilty, and their opposition should have no weight. CAMERON AND FORNEY. The sonton of reconciliation is athand. Tho Iatost announcomont is that Simon Camoron and John W, Fornoy haso agraed to bury tho hatchet, and be frionds forevermora, Tho political carcora of theso mon aro remsarkable. Bimon Camoron bogan political life as a Domocrat, but nover pormitted his party afliation to stand in the way of bis own advancomont when 1t was promised by othors. It was thus that, moro than thirty years ago, Lo obtained o seat in tho Senato of tho United Statos,~how, and through what agenoy, itia not neceasary now to reeall. At that time, aud for some yesrs Inter, John W. Fornoy edited the leading Democratio paperin Phila- dolphie, called the Pennsylvanian, In courso of time Simon Cameron finished hia term in the Benato and failed to bo ro-oleotod. Ho and Formey were paturally placed in politieal antsgonism, Mr. Forney was sisbitious, but tho grest Democratio lights of his Btato kept him down. It wasintho daya when newspapers were * organs,” snd when the ed- itor was expocted to play all the time, grindiog out the praizos of the great chief, but was never allowed to have any thought for himeelf. Ono doy Mr, Forney came to Washington and asked the Domocratic Houso of Reprosontatives to mako him Clerk, Ho was nominated by tho cau- cus, but, as his competitor was a nafive of the sncred soil, ewough Southern Domocrats voted for him to defeat Mr. Fornoy. At = lator day, the House of - Ropre- sontatives, still Democratio, ropaired this wrong by electing him Clerk, and porhapa thers was novor o better Clork in that body. Furtber on, Col, Fornoy was called to Washington to edit the Washington Union, which had proviously boon odited by tho votoran Thomas Ritchio. This was in 1858, and during the Presidency of Frank Pierco. He was on able editor, but of courso was restrained in his vigor by the chains of party, At last camo the Prosidential elec- tion of 1850, whioh was to bring Cameron and Torney in dircctcollision, The result of that clection, it was long conceded, would depend upon tho result of tho Octobor olectlon in Ponnsylvania, 8o overy effort was made by Dboth sides to win, TForney conduoted tho Penu- sylvania campaign for the Domoerate, and by his personal efforts succoeded in securing & Domo- cratio maojority in Ootobor. This was equiva~ lout to tho olection of Buchanan, The Domo- crats also cleotod & majority of the Loglelature, thus seouring the olaction of a United Btates Bonator from their party after the next Fourth of Marokh. Tho Legislaturo met, aud Fornoy waa nominated by the Domocratic cauous for Sonator, but whon tho {ime camo to elack, throo Demooratio membera voted with the Whigs and Ropublioans for Simon Cam- oron and elected Lim. That these men bad mold themuelves for n monvy consid- oration was soon notorious, ond the frat caso perhaps of a soat in the United Btatos Sonato having bdon bought and paid for was that of Bimon Cameron in tho winterof 1856-7. The antagonism betiyeon Forney and Camaron now booama perdenal and political, and there Lins nover been tho least abatemant of its bittor- ness from that day to this, In 1858, Col, Fornoy broko with tho Administration of Buckanar on the Locompton question, and supported Douglag for Prosidont {n 1800, Ho started tho Philadel- phia Press in 1857, and, some four yoars after, tho Washington COhrontcle, He maintalned both thess papors during the War. Io was choson Secretary of tho United Statos Sonate and, after s fow yoars, resigned, IHo hos beon identified with the Ropublioan party over sinco 1861, But at no time, at no place, and under no circumstsncos, Las he over permittod his opposition to tho votoran corruptionist, Blmon OCamoron, to flag. Forney jsamanof large oxporionce, an oasy writer, a good spoaker, and an affablo, gonorous man of liboral soolal hablts. Cam- oron has but twn idoas—tho acoumulation of woalth and occupanoy of oftiolal position, and in obtaining those ends we supposo ho bas as littlo compunction to the meana he vecs ag any man in tho country, e ls nowanold man. o in perhaps cousolous thad he smusk quid publio life at some time, and the **torms" upon which tho supposod roconcilistion with Col. Tornoy has boon offected, show dlstinotly that thoy originated with Oameron. Thosa torms aro sald to bo that, at tho clection of United Btates Benator noxt winter by tho Loglslaturo of Ponnsylvania, forney shall bo choson in placo of Bcott, tho prosent incumbent, TFornoy and Cameron, and all othora they can unite with thom, aro to domand that Don Gameron, son of Bimon, shnll be mado Seerotary of the Troasury undor tho noxt Adminiatration. Tho story of the reconclliation, perhaps, {s not truo ; it probably rosts upon tho fact that Cam- oron is willing to trado for offico, nnd thatin s trado whero ho {e gatting & profit ho will shake bands with anyhody, e JUSTICE AT LAST IN LOUISIANA, Tho public will romomber that, onrlyin tho spring of 1873, thoro was & conflict botweon cor- taln white and black porsons at Colfax, Grant Parish, La., in which a large number of persons wore killod. Tho oigin of tho diffoulty was in tho mutilation of tho eloction returns, Despito tho efforts to chango thom, one candidate who was vot ed for by both parties bnd to bo declared elocted. By somo mistake or oversight, the olflclal canvasgors nover daclared the result of tho olootion iu that county, and Gov. Kellogg had to appoint officera. Ono or more of thoso 80 appointod wore objectionable to the negroos, who declared the officors shonld never bo in- stalled. TFor this purpose thoy took armned pos- sesaion of the Court-House, and skirmishing botwoon tho partlos took placo perhaps for two days, Finelly, o white flag waes sont for- ward to the Court-Houso to present somo proposition looking towards poace. When the bearers of this flag got near tho Court-House, firc was opened on them, nnd sovoral of thom wore Lilled. 7This outragoous act rosulted in an assault, by which the negroes were drivon out of the Court-House, and many of them were killed in tho fight that cnsued. *For this procoeding oight white men woro indicted under the Ku- Klux act. On the first trial the jury did- not agroo, standing nine for acquittal and three for conviction, On tho second trinl all whites wero oxcluded from thoe panel, and tho jury, undor the direction of Judge Wood, tho United Btates Circuit Judgo, convicted tho accused. A motion in arrest of judgment was heard boforo Judge Bradley, of tho United States Suprome Court, and Judge Wood, and on Saturday Judge Brad- loy delivered an opinion on tho case, which, per- baps, is the fivet judicial oxpression, sanctioned by law and in tho interest of justico, that has boon heard in that Stato for ten years, Justice Bradley makos a mastorly exposition of the absurd sssumptions snd usurpations under tio Ku-Klux act. Thbo indictment itself wasa warvel of legal absurdity. It charged the pris- oners in slxteon counts with (1) a conspiracy to take away certain righte from citizons of Afnean descent, and (2) with murders whilo engaged in this oonspiracy. Tho conviction was upon all sixteen counts, Tho Judgo said that whilo Con- gross hed the power to logialate to carry out tho soveral amendments to tho Constitution, there wag 8till a queation whother this Iaw was designed for that purpose, ‘The Fifteooth Amendment de- claresthatno porson shiall ba disqualifled from voi~ ing becauso of hid color or previous condition of servitude; butthe Unitod States Is not givonthe power to pass lawa relativo tg elections or voting, but simply to seo that the States do not intorfore with thaeso rights, and to enforco them. Whon a Btato fails to comply with tho duties, the United Stateas is called on to Interfore ; bub the inter- foronce of Congress when a Btate i roady to punish & violation of theso rights is unnaecos- sary, Injudicious, and llegal. To give the United States jurisdiction, it must be shown that a conspiracy was formed to take away cor- taio rights from o porson because of his color. ‘When a Btate rofuses to a man tho right to voto bocause of his color, race, or previous condition, Congress hes power to enforco the amendmout. . The first count charged tho prizoners with conspiring to prevent persons of Africandescent {from pesaccable nssemblage, Tho Constitution prohibits Congress from interfering with the right of peacoable mssomblage, but this does not givo Congress furisdiction over all persons who ehall intorfero with ponce- ablo assomblics, The third count charged a consplracy to take the lives of cortaln persons of African descent without duo process of law. Every murder is an offense of this lind, Has the United States juriudiction over all murdors? Sevoeral counta are teo vaguo to bo considered, The sixth and soventh counts charge a conspir~ acy egainse cortain porsons because thoy bad vatod, or were going to vote, but not s word was enid that this was done bocause of tholr color, race, or provious condition, which alone, undor the act, could give the Faderal Courts juriadlotion. To interfore with the right of voting is no offonse under the jurisdiction of tho United Btates. To charge mon with murdor or & conspiracy to murder because of race, color, or provious condition, is an absurdity, and does not tako it out of the ordinary oasca of murder. Justico Bradloy deolared that, in his opinion, the Indictment was fatally dofcotive. Judgo Wood afiirming the validity of the in- dictment, o cortificato of division of opinion wae made out, and the cago sent up to tho Supreme Court of the United States. The prisonera wero admitted to bail, This is the first time in any of the courts of Louisiana, slnco Reconsiraction, that any Judgo hng boon heard to uttera word of criticium or dissont upon tho laws, proclamations, aud othor procoedings making nogro rule suprome. Tho oplnton of Judge Bradley ia so clear that thero can bardly be any doubt as to the docision of the Bupremo Court on the question, While ho do- clined to say that the enforcoment aot was un- constitutional, ho #o stripped it of all applioa- tion to tho majority of cases in which it has boon invoked, that the law booomos comparse tlvely harmloss, . ————— ANOTHER LOITERY 8CHEME, Now York has appoared in the flold as & com- potitor of Kentuoky in the lottery busiuoss. Keontucky's lottory {8 for the bonoflt of & publle library; New York wantssn Exposltion bulldiug, which is to covor eight squares In tho upper part of tha City of Now Yorls, For the orection of the bulidinge aud purchage of tho property, & capital is wanted of 20,000,000, and to raise this capital it {8 proposed to issue a miltion 820 bouds, running forty or fitty years, the princi- pal to o ropaid, but the bouds boar 1o epecified rato of intorost, Instead of paying intorest, it 1s proposed to pay some of tho bondholders premiums, to bo detormined by *a dramng," the numboers of tho bonds to be placed in & wheel, tho drawer of the flrst number to got 100,000, and so on to tho last lucky number, which will draw 6, In the Kentuoky lottery, the prin- olpal Ig put at hnzard; in the Now York lottery, tho intorest Is put st bazard, The Kentuoky otiery is for a Ubrary } the New Yotk ons foran Exposltion building. Theso aro the only pointa of difforonce. Tho managora of the Now York schomo bogin with the old atory, * This no lot~ tery,” Thoy parade tho usual nnmbor of prom- inont uames for roforenco and promiuent gon- Yomen who are to bo responaiblo, Tho announcemont that the schomo s no lot- tory is abaurd, As wo havo snid, tho intoreat on tho immonso sum proposed to bo ralsod ia at bazard, aud tho , bondholders take pre- olecly tho pame chances of over got- ting avy equivalent for tho wuso of their monoy that fnvestors in the Kontucky lottery do of drawing prizos. Itis a shrewddodge which will entrap ss many vietima as any other lottory, and just as many pooplo will throw thoir monoy away In a spirit of gambling. That is the longth and tho broadth of it. Tho gon- tlemon whogo names figure in connection with it, if thoy authorized tholr ueo, hnve not acted judiciously, and will ind cause to rogrot it. If Now York wants an Exposition building, it should be sccured in a logitimate way.

A BHOCKING DISCLOSURE, At mooting of the Cincionati Academy of Medicine rocontly, s membor was accused of having beon concorned in a case of abortion, During tho dobate, Dr. Reamy declared that membors of tho medical profession, otherwinein high standing, wore guilty of the crime of abor- tion, This was considered by some mombors =g an insult to the profession at largo. The chargo was then reduced to writing, as follows : ‘There are mombors of the rogular prafesalon in this aty, otheewlso o high standing, whoso hunds ate bloody with tho guilt of the crimo of abortion, aud abortion {s committed by the wives of respectablo citi- Zons who aro taught to do o by thels family physl- clans, A rosolution doclaring this assertion to bo a slander on tho profession wss referred to tho Committeo on Ethics, toreport on tho facts, On Thursday last the Qommittoo made a report. Dr. Reamy had in the meantimo nskod pormission to qualify his Isngusgo ao far aa it confinod tho practico to pbysicians in Cincinnati, From tho testimony wo mather theso facts: -Dr. Thoraton reported two cnses where tho oporation had beon committed by rogular physiclans, Dr, Hadlock stated another. Dr. James stated one, ond Dr. Woodward four oases. Dr. Muscroft ro- latod two cosos. Dr, Orr told of another case, Dr. Wright reported o lsrgo numbor of casos. Dr. Nichols snd Dr, Palmor had heard of soveral cases. Information of all thess cndes was ab- tained from the womoen concornod,—who, fa all oases oxept one, moved in respectable cirolos,— and In noarly allthe casos the abortions were had to provent oxpoaure and shamo, and in o few tho womon did mot want to have children. Other membara teatiflad that they knaw and had heard n thelr practice of no such procoedings by regulsr members of the profession, Tho Committoe roported thal, sftor a caroful conaid- oration of tho tostimony, they were of tho opinion ** that tho proo! presented is a suf- Jficient justification of the language used by Dr. Reamy.”" They slso denounce tho practice it- self, and lnsiet that tho profession Is not ro- sponaible for the secrat praotice of unecrapulous and unworthy mombera. After a long debato tho Acadomy sdopted the report by a vote of yous, 84; mnys, 29, Horo, then, ia a frank declaration by the Modi- cal Academy of Ciucinuati that this erime is practiced by rogular physicians in high stand- ing, and upon wives of rospectablo citizens, who are taught to do 80 by their family physicinos, Whilo society is justly outraged and indignant that this borrible crimo should ta committed by the frauds and impoators, and by such pro- fosslonals as make it thelr exclustve praotico, what has socloty to eay, or whatis socioty going to do, about the fact thus so frankly confessed by tho regular profossion ln Cinolnnatl, that physlciaus are oducating wives to commit the orime, and actually make it part of their own practico ?
