Tyner anys that if tho sorvices of a salary-grabbor can be used to tho advantago of tho party, his aro at its command. What a tough old political pachy- dorm it ia | — One of tho worst featurcs of the case against A, Boschor is tho spirit in which hig ‘dofenso is oconducted. Our spoolal dispatchos from Now York this morning stato somoof the polnts in Tilton's atatoment that will bo ospecially con- trovorted, Che purposo seems to bo to magnify cortaln small discropancies in it, and thon apply the principle, * falgo in one particular, false in all.” For iustanco, it will bo Insisted "that tho * tondor stato of mind™ in which Mra. Tilton waa thrown by tho death of & child suporvoncd at a time eubsoqueut to tho date which is givon in tho atatoment. Mr. Beocher will also attompt to eatablish an alibi for tho day on which thio firab criminal net is sald to havo ocenirod. This lino of dofenso is unworthy of a noblo and maligned spirit struggling to establish its innocenco. If Mr. Boeohor wishes to carry with bim the sympathy of, tho world, ho ought to loas no timo in oxplaining away tho matorial points of the nccusation. Tho alibiis bowilderlng, and might bo offective in & court of law, but it will not meot tho domands of a popular inquiry. Binco the days of old Mr. Weller, alibis have not beon rogarded ag tho only suro means of escapo for endangerod innooconoe; but a sharp criminal Inwyer, convinced of his cliont's guilt, would bo- gin to work in just tho way that Mr. Boochor's advigers havo begun. — THE PLYMOUTH CHURCH COMBIITTEE, Wo trust that tho Plymouth Church Investi- gating Committeo roalize that they aro on trial as well as Mr. Boochor. Ho is on trial for erim, con.—thoy, by the mode of their appointmont, are on trial as ncoomplicos after tho fact. By tho course thoy shall pursue they can cloar thom- 8olvos of any chargo or suspicion of connivanco, and it is to bo hoped they will do so. 5 ‘When Mr, Boecher appointed this Committes he epolo of them ag * gontlomon of unimpoach- able ropute, and who have not been involved in any of the trials through which we have passed during the year. The most prominent namo on the Committce is that of H. B. Claflin, the head of tho sccond largest mercantilo ostablishe mont in tho United States. It may bo that Mr. Cloflin has not been involved *in sny of tho trials through which we have passed during the year. But, unless wo aro mis- informed, ho wag involvod in this particular trial more than a yoar ago, in acapacity not dishonor- ablo to kimeolf, but yet in such a way that ho cannot be rogarded as one who is receiving the teatimony now for tho firat time. When Mr. Tilton was dismissed from tho editorsbip of tho Brooldyn Union ho'olaimed, undor a compgdgrith 11, 0. Bowen,|the]proprietor thoroof, il salary by way of forfeit, which nuvx;n rongondeclined to pay. Tilton throatonettn Iawsuit to onforco the contract, but tho mattor was flually sattled by arbitration, Mr. H, B. Clatlin boing ono of tho arbitrators, Now, tho quostion is, whother this arbitration did not involve the very matter now undor investigation by Mr. Claflin and Lis associates, and othor matters of similar import. It it did, thon Mr. Olaflin, though Lo maoy bo rightly desiguated ns “a gontloman of unimpeachablo repute,” cannot bo fn- cludod in the catogory of those who ‘‘hnve not been involved in auy of the trials through whioh we havo passed.” Tho addition of tho worda “during tho yoar" was disingonuous on Mr., Beechor's part, becaueo ho Lnow tho public would undorstand that all of the Committes woro fresh in tho work to bo under- takon. Anothor momber of the Committeo, Mr. Ton- ry WoBage, is, it wo mistake not, one of the priveipal ownors of tho Ohristian Union, of which Mr, Boocher s tho chief editor; while another momber, Mr, ITonry M, Cloveland, was untll recoutly an employo of that paper. Tho oxlatenco of Plymouth Chureh and congrogation i1 at stako upon tho rosult of thiy trinl, and it i4 8 noticonblo fact that tho Yreasurorof tho church and tho Treasuror of tho congrogation are both mombora of tho Invontigating Come mitleo. Five mombera of the Committee aro thus acoountod for, Tho sixth we kuow noth- ing about, A quostion of veracity having been ralsed bo- twoon Boochor and Mry, Lilton on tho ono haud, and Mr. Tillou on tho other, the Committeo will naturally eall fn such olhor witneusos a8 are available, Two persons have Loon promineutly named ua the confldential frionds and advisors of both Beeohor and Tilton, We rofer to I, B, Garpontor, tho artlst, and F. W. Moulton. It is noadlesn to racapitulate thoir nsgoclation with the affair. Mr. Oarpontor ap. pears a8 the boarer of information from Bocchor to Tilton that it ho would go to Europoe with his family for two years his exponses would bo defrayed. Bhortly after the \oodhull publication, it we mistako wnot, Mr, Oar~ ponter was aolive in offoris to ostablish & dally nowspapor In Now York, of which Mr. DBoochor was to Do tho controlling oditor,—ho (Boechor) to fotire from tho minstry for that purposo, Tho project waos, for various rensons, abandoned, but we aro convincod that ita incoption was based upon tho growing and widoning aron of knowlodga of ilie Becchor-Til- ton affair, of which tho Woodlull publica- tion was only sn fvcldont. From all that oppears, Mr, Carponter's agency lq tho promises was ontiroly honorablo, Mr. Moulton's information must bo much moro procise than Mr. Carpontor's,” since ho was mado tho custodian of tho so:called Boschor con- fossion, and of soveral othor important papars. Of courso-theso witnessos will bo availablo to sottle any moro questions of varacity botwoon tho conflioting slatoments of the priucipals. Agaln: Mr. Tilton implios that thero aro otlior cases of oriminality fn which Mr. Becchor has figured; sud in his lottor to Bowen of Jan, 1, 1871, ho speoifics somo of thom as having boon first communieated to him by Bowen himsclf, Tho Committoe will naturally inquire into thoso aleo, as 3Ir, Beochor Asked thom to “*make s thorough and impartial oxamination of all charges or insinuations against my [his] good namo,” If thoro waa auy money paid for supprosaing any of those rovola- tious in timos past, they should inquire into that also. In short, the publio expoot that the Committeo will make a Doomsday Boolt of tho wholo matter, .and leavo nothing to be dona by a judicial tribunal aftor thoy shall have con- cluded thelr work and mado tholg report. It is stated that Mra, Tilton intonds to bring an ac- tion for divorco. Wo doubt that. Wo doubt whother hor logal advisors will counsel her to pat tho caso fnto the clamps of & court of law, which lina power to compol the attondance of witnesses, and to punish porjury by imprigon- ment in tho Penltentiary. e o .. MR, BEECHER'S BTATEMENT. Tho preliminary statomont drawn up, as tho Asgociated Press dispatoboa stato, by * thodea~ cons of Plymouth Church and Mr. Shearman, Mr. Ross, and Gon .Tracy,” {8 not an inspiring docu- mont. It drags honvily and wearily down to tho Iast paragraph, and is not sworn to, though it is presumed that the fuller statemont, which is Baid to bo forthcoming, will bo given undoroathi, Mr, Boochor assorts tho innocenco of Afra, Tilton, impugned by her own husband. Ha aesorte his own innocence, too. o doos not, howover, quostion the suthenticity of any of the written documonts ° mentioned in Tilton's ovidonco. Wo may, thoroforo, assumo that thoy aro gonuine, All that Beochor sooms disposed to do I8 to say that tho quotations from Lis lotters made by Mr. Tilton do not warrant the infor- onco which Tilton draws from thom, and which ho wonld have overy one olse draw from thom. But, firat of all, Mr. Boocher asserts un- qualifiedly tho purity of Mrs, Tilton. Let us ano how Ler alleged innocence tallies with tho writ- ton evidonco in Tilton's statoment to the Inves- tigatiog Committeo. And first, ns fo Mra. Tilton's own lotters. Would an innocent woman, ono who had beon guilty of no wrong whatovor, write to hor hus- band : “My oyos have beon opencd”; “I soe clearly. my gin? Bho says, also, whe Lnow sho was loved, ' Bho allowed that love to grow ton passion, Bho coaxed Lor conscience iuto bolioving that tholovo eho had for another man conld not lharm her husband. Blo awoke from the fllusion. Bho bolieved now sho bad beon guilty of asin. Sho asked Lor hus- band's forgivencss, Bho said sho bad been mia- led by a_good man. Bhe would not Lsve Loy life known to hor fathor. It would kill him, This {8 what Mrs, Tilton says of . harself. - This 18 what Mrs, Tilton thought of hor own love and of Beechor's; and this was boforo thoro was any suspicion that the matter would bo made public, Beeoher's viows of his own and Mrs. Tillon's lovo is far difforent. His feeling for Mrs. Tilton was such a8 & gontleman might] honorably offer to a Christian woman; and which she might re- geive and rociprooate without moral soruplo, Bo much is clonr: that there was somo attach- mont botwéen Mra. Tilton and Mr, Honry Ward Beochor. Alr. Bocoher calls it a pure feeling, Mrs. Tilton calls it sinful, Mr. Boeckor says AMra. Tilton might accept his fosling and rocipro- cato it without moral scruple. This is tho same fooling to which Ars, Tilton's oyes finally looked upon a8 & sin; the harboring of which eho rocog- nizod as & wrong to hor husband ; the discovery of which to hor fathor would Liave bowoed his head to tho grave. A “pure feeling” which may bo entertained without soruple cannot bo considored by tho woman who sharca it as a sin, —is no wrong to a hueband, mo disgrace to & father, nor calculated to bow a paronva hend to the grave, or to call for the ronowal of one’s marriage vows, It Mra. Tilton's lotters 8o not forgories,—if thoy truly oxpress hor fool- ings,—thon Beochor's statement concorning his “pure feoling” for Mrs. Tilton is simply falao. Mzrs, Tilton acknowlodgoes that it waa an Impure and sinful feolivg. It is to mo purpose, thon, thiat Boechor olaima it was puro, In the oxtracts mado by “ilton from his wite's correspondenco thoro aro two vory significant ex- prosslons, Bho eays sho wag misled by o good man, 8ho says, too, that sho would mourn greatly if hor life were made known to hor fator, This uso of tho words " misled* and ““lifo" goos to show that Baocher's offenso was not, a8 he says himsolf, slmply giving * connsel whioh tonded to harm,” meaniug, we supposo, that Lo advised Mrs, Tilton to soparato from her hus- band. ff Beecher did sdviso Mra. Tilton to loave a hushand who congorted with the Wood- hulls and the Olafling, avowod froo-lovers, ho did nothing ho nood be ashamed of; nothing i which the publio sontiment of tho country would not support Lim ; nothing for which ho noedod to apologizo to Tilton or his congregation. If this isall ho has dome, Lo should long ago have come bafore tho publio and told thom: “ I didso advio Mra, Tilton, My consolonce tolls mo I was right in doing 8o, Undor the same cironme stauces I would do so again” This would not Lo misleading Mya, Tilton; nor could so write to hor husband that, in Hooking such advioo, sho had led a lifo which, it hor fathor know of, it would bow hig hoead to tho grave! 1f Bocohor Lins done nothing but-what he sayd, ho ia guilty of no offenee; ho misled no ono; Mre, Tilton had no life to sbame hor paront, was guilty of 10 8in, and had ‘no nood to remow hor marrjago vows. Rathor ghould sl have called upon her husbaud to confoss Lis sins and ronew Ll vows, It Beooher's dofonse b true, Mra. Tilton's lottors romain an fukoluble mystory, But his own lot tors yomain an equally great mystory, If Lie ouly counseled a woman to lave s man who had doparted from the way of honor, moral rootl- tude, and purity,—a man whose principlos and oxample might sow the soods of vioo In the youug minds of hig ohildron,—why should La humblo himsol? before Tilton' as boforo God ? Why bumblo Limeol before God for wlyioe which) under the cireumstances, ho considorad Justifiablo, and which niuety-nino mon in & hun- dred will say was proper advico? Why doos ho sposk of tho difloultios that environ bim? Why I8 ho alarmod and disturbod? ‘Why does ho spoud slooploss nights? Why doos Lo suffor tho ** torments of tho damned ™ ? Bo- ©0au#o Lo & sufToring woman ho gave some good advico! Itdoes not Lold wator. It Bocohor's stafomont to iho Irivestigating Committeo bo tho truth, bis written statemonts to Moulton and Tilton aro 60 mauy oxasporating onigmag, In- deod; on the nesumption of Boeohor's fnno- conoo, thore is no oxplaining his own lottors produced in Tilton’s avideuco ; no oxplaining Mra, Tilton's lottors in the same ; no oxplaining tho conduot of Bocoher, who wanted the wholo mattor hushod up ; no oxplaining the conduct ot Tilton, who would hold up to tho gazo of the world tho shamo and sinfalness of his wifo, whom ho cortalnly loved once, and whom, in spito of all that Lins passed botweon them, ho sooms to love still, ‘ Tho investigation s not endoed yet, and it Is thoroforo not impossible that Bacchor may como out of thia imbrogilo somewhat clearer thau ho fanow. Al wo caro to say horo is that, so far, his statomont doos not improvo his oase. Tho publication of Tilton's and Bocohor's atatomenty havo practically, taken tho affalr out of tho handa of tho Committoa and transforred it to tho country, which will come to an fndopondent vor- dict on it, whon &l the evidonco is produced. MRS. TILTON'S STATEMENT, ‘Whon a woman speaks in behalf of her own virtuo, sio {8 ontitlod to tho most respoctful bearing from all tho world. All this woare willing to accord to Mrs, Tilton's statomont, Evorybody bolioves, Alr, Tilton ovidently aa wolt s tho outsido world, that Mrs. Tilton lina boon moro sinnod ngainst than sinning, if tho chargo of adultery againet Beechor ,and horaelf bo truo. But wo havo not the heart to analyzo her re- Joinder, 08 wo have analyzod Mr. Boocher's olao- whero, in’tho light of her oxtruvagant and orratio statoments already revesled. Sho is forced to Iny bare tho most intimato and sacred relations of o married home in ordor to bring out the points she desires to make. If a virtu- ous women, the humuliation sho must feel at such an oxposuro is horriblo to contemplato. We will only eay now that hor statoment ndmits gomo of tho lottara quoted by Ar. Tilton and doee not deny tho existonco of any of them. Bho endoavors to sccount for them by citing hor womanly weakness and grest distross; but, it Tilton bias quoted thom' traly, it is difficnlt to undoratand how a woman of high religious thought and forvont devotfon could be so far misled from tho truth ns to subscribe to falso statomonts implicating her own honor. Bhois not respousiblo for Ar. Booocher's lottors, it is true ; but nover was woman so viloly misused by man ag Mra. Tilton by Boccher it ho swrote those lottors when a virtuous woman's Lionor was in- volved. The reading of Mirs. Tilton’s state- mont, which will bo found elsewhore, will induca many o boliove that it is not any more tho product of her own mind than sho. says woro the lottors boaring hor signature, and whoso author- ship sho charges upon hor husband. Whon Mrs. Tilton avers that her husband, yeara bofore, “laid the corner-stono of froe- love™ in tho same hiousohold which ho chargoa Beaokor with dcsecrating, sho gocs outside the issuo and doos not help her awn case. But it is not Mra. Tilton who is on trial. 1f she has beon guilty, the greater guilt of her pastor and para~ mour g0 overshadows hora that tho world will be moro charitable to her than than 1t ovor was to Wuwnu 11 €06 BAMO torriblo position. At i8 so bard to comprobend tuat any man, much loss a man holding Tilton's high place bofora his fol- low-countrymen, should deliberatoly shattor his own home, malign Lis own wifo, Dlast his own future, and disgrace his own children without cause, that, with all respeot to & ‘woman battling in her own defunso, Ars. Tilton's stato- mont must be rogarded aa tho most inconsistont of all tho inconsistent uttorances sceredited to her. To admit that Tilton did all this, as his wifo now charges, with tho desire to ruin Mr. Beecher and from jealousy of Beochor's groator succoss in lifo. ia to call Tilton & dovil incarnato, to whom nothing on tho earth below or in the heavons above over was or over can be sacrod. His cbaroctor would bo o thousand times worgo’ than the charactor of the hideous libortino Lovolace which Richardeon drovw. Thoro I8 a8 yot no place for such a character, If Tilton has beon misled, thon the dooumonts which ho has quoted have certainly farnished sufflolont causo for his error ; and thoy must bo oxplained to the full eatisfaction of impartial spectators beforo he cun rcasonnbly bo oxpectod to hold thom harmloss. Thus far, neither tho statement of Mr, Boechor nor that of Mra, Tilton furnishes such oo oxplanation. Mrs. Tilton's strongost plea is hor weakness, and her woak- neas, in this case, is tho poorest plea that could be put forth for Mr. Beechor. — THE BOARD OF UNDERWRITERS, "Thero scems to bo & misapprelionsion 1 many minds as to tho oxact status of the body kuown a3 tho Board of Undorwritors, It acoms to bo overlooked that the sole purpdso of au insuranco company is to mako monoy, and to the oxtent Lt an insuranco company does malke money are tho policios Issued by it moro valusble, Tho Boards of Undorwriters, National and State, aro but tho agonts of theso corporations, and thoir aim, and tho purposo of their whole orgauiza~ tion, is to promote tho pocuniary profil of tho capital inveated in insurance compnnies.- All thought that insuranco companies aro acting for tho protection of indlviduals, or that thoy do busiuoss pro bono publico, is visionary, When thoy censo to bd profitablo they dissolve, Thoy offer, in a businoss way, to insure prop- orty, It tho clrcumatances aro suol a8 to justi- fy an expoctation of profi,t they continuo to do business ; whon ciroumstancos chango, they deoline jnsurauco aud rotire. ‘The misfortune Is that thoro Is o Jargo olass of insurance compa~ nles that take all manner of riske, ot all manner of ratos, for all possible amounts, Theso de- pond on largo rocolpts to cover ordinary lossos, and when gront llosses como thoy disappear and uevor turn up again.

The Aurora Herald closos an article upon the inoqualitios of psacssmonts’ for Stnte taxes in various counties by tho followiug timely remark : Tho farmer cannot hide bLis farmj the mechanie cannot hido his littlo homo, in caso Lio has one, from tho Ansoseor, but theso must ‘pay thelr tazes fn. full, and it s not surprising that, thoy demand that thoso ‘who hinve money should bo sssossed st its full value when this can bo nscortained,as-in- the case of the Notional Banks,© = ++ e e Our wholo tax system is inefficient and incon- sistent, nod of necessity unjust; The law makes tho aggrogato nssessment roturned by tho Ase seasors tho standard of.taxablo valuos for tho whole Btato, which aggrégate the Board of Equalization cannot incroase more than 1 per cont. The assessmont for 1873 was on tho basis in tho Btato. The Stato Board of Eq\mlillt_ion‘ doctored the rotnrna by tho countios, »dding in one placo and taking off in another, until they mado & most lamontable and disgraceful faitare, Thus thoy added 08 por éont to the value of the roturned porsonal property of Cook' Couaty, on tho ground that that proportion of that class of property had not boen assossed at all. Thus one-half the population wero assossed by tha local Board at 70 por .cont of tho motual valuo of their property; tho Biate Board added 08 per cont to the nssosament of tho samo proporty, which was thorofore taxed on » valua- tion of §1.88 on onch dollar’ of sotual valuo, whilo tho ownors of the proporty which was not asgossod paid’nothing. . Thus the honost prop- erty-holders who mado retarns of their proporty had to pay taxos on $1.88 for every dollar’s worth thoy bad. But even this injustico was excooded in tho cnses of tho bankors and others, who ro- turned tho full amount of monoy in their hands: Tho State Board of Equalization added 68 por cont to tho par valuation'of the currency, and tho ownors had to pay taxes on $1.68 for every dollar they hold, The Bupromo Court has de- cidad that thore 1s no_logal romody for this in- justico and inequality, o that the citizen who wishos to osoapo being taxed on §1.08, or $2.00, or any othor ‘oxtravagant sum, for ench one dol- lar's worth of property hold by him, must be caroful end cautious in his roturns. Whon omigsion to mako any roturn is the only escape from robbery, tho omission bocomes popular; Tho Herald is right whon it says that tho farm- or and tho land-owner cannot escapo taxation, ‘Tho proporty is visible to the oyo, and its di- monsions aro o matter of publio racord. Tho re- sult is that overy foot of land within' tho boun- darlos of Tllinols, whothor dovoted to fayms or cut up into town and city lots, Is within the roncly nud knowledgo of the Asgogsors ; all they have to do respecting the Jaud 18 to take tho town vplat and copy its eubdivisions. They can, with liko facility, discovor all improvemonts on the land ; and oach Town Asgeasor intho rural dis- triota knows oxactly how many horsos, mulos, cattle, sheep, hogs, plows, wagous, carts, roap- ors, mowers, cultivators, aud oven ohiokens, thoro aro on each farm or pioco of land; ho knows what tho farm cost, what the buildings and tho fences cost ; ho knows ovory man who hos g olook or watoh, pisno, molode- on, and sowing-machino; and, leuco, the onumeration "of property on the land bolonging to its ocoupants s full and complote. Nothing oscapes, and yob, in tha ngsopement of 1873, thoro was found {n’ all Tlli- nofa ouly $287,000,000 of personal property, in- cluding tho merchandise of tho merchants and tue productions of tho manufacturers, Of tho §287,000,000 worth of versonal property found and roturned by the Assessors, one-half was found ou the farms, and thus the ownors of the lend woro taxed on overy aquare foot, and on all tho peraonal proporty found thoreon, while the owners of tho many hundreda of millions of othor personal proporty osoaped taxation alto- gothor, Wo liave glven, in provious articles, tho oxact figuros of tho assosemont of 1873, aud shown that, of the property actually assossod for taxation iu 1873, over 80 por cont was in tho form of land and the property on and incldental to tho Jand. Of the taxes on the othor 20 per cent: of proporty, ono-half was never colloctod, bo- causo of tho inabilily of the Cellootors to colleol tho same. Practically, thorefore, tho land and its ap- purienances pay nearly tho wholo tax for Stato purposes § &nd, as tho assesument for State pur- posos ia alao the nesossmont for county and town purpoos, nine-tonths of tho wholo burden of taxation fulls upon tho laud and property be- longing to it. Tho whole tax aesessed for all purposos in 187, in Tiliuols, amounted to not 1osa than §26,000,000, of which tho land, and tho porsonal property inoldental thoreto, paid over $23,000,000, aud all other property tho small difforonco. Tho rovonuo law of 1872 ia a compendinm of oathe, having for thelr purpose the enforcomont of an honest raturn of porsonal proporty, but, Jike slmiler lawa in evory Btato of tho Union, it doad faflare. The romody for thisis the com= Pplotoabolition of tho tax upon valuation, and tho substitution of tho other syatom of _taxation | the mubjeat, upon the gross fugome of corporationa holding franohises upon salos of mannfastured product, , and by a eystom of liconses upon donlors of all’ kinds, all of whioh {s provided for in our Btato Constitution. As wo lave ropeatodly shown in Tne Trinuse, the recolpts from these Bources could bo enally collectod at o cost not oxcooding 1 por ocont, nnd in the aggregate could bo mndo to equal the honeat and ceonomical cost of | sdmibistration of tho Govorntmonts, Btato and looal, If tho farmors and othor land-ownors of Diinols would unite in domanding that the tax on land bo repealed, and that the constitutional provision for taxing by liconse and upon gross rocoiptabo onforced, the ovils and injustico of our prosont miserable rovonus system would bo ontiroly avolded. . — .
