Al the lotters and eiretmstancos are, in it view, consistent with the theory that Mr. Beecher mistakenly advisad Mrs. Tilton to leave her husband.

'Ilieso philosophic conclusions, coupled with sundry opithets of dishonor hurled against Til- ton, form the bulk of tho lust oditorial in the Waorld, LONG SEANCH AND fE TRIRD TERM, “The poesibility that Gon. Grant mny be s can- didate for a Lhird torm of tho Yresidenoy is ono of thone questions which will not bo put ot rest, and which now serfously disturbs tho comfort of koveral eminent Republican utatesmon. The Now Yorl Ieraid, through » corrcspondent at Long DBranch, gives what purports to bo the result of o conferouco betwoon the President aud womo frlendy in relation to his candiducy in 1876, The substanceof it is that ho (Gon. Grant)is por- fectly awaro that the third term is oxtromely distanteful to tho Dopublican leaders, and that thoy have mo iden of allowing lLim to Lo n candidato or to bo olected. ven if nomiuated by the Republican Convention, o i entisfled that thoy wonld defeat him. Ho wants, thoereforo, to be » candidato in 1876 of all tho opposition to the Ropublican party, upon a platform like that of the Liboral Itepublicons in 1872 (), but more strongly pledgedtoreconciliation with the Bouth, Oneuck s platform ho expects to unito the ofticoholdors, the Grand Army of tho Republic, tho capitatists of the country, the Bouthern white poopla of all shaden of politics, and the Democratic party. 1Io has already mapped his polioy to concliiute and unite alt thoeo agaihet tho Ropublican party, and has no doubt of its success. Mo hus prac- tically cut loose from the control of thie Repub- lican londors, and desives to bo considored tho President of the whole pooplo. Tho Prosident, itiu stated, in tho course of the samo convor- sation, oxproused the opinfon that, it the Liboral Rupublicaus wonld lead off in nominating him, there would o no difticulty after that, and no doubt of ullimate wuccoss. Tho Democratio party and all the Bouthora Btates would support the movement, which would bo directed to breaking up the Republican party, which Las long survived Ita usefuluoos, its honosty, and its power for good, All this 1nuy be authentio or not. It is probne By exaggernted, and yot i *dovotaile™ with many things kuown before. Lut tho oorve spondent steles that ut this interview thoro was prosent ** o lending Liboral Ropublioan of the Weut," who had vislted the President to sscors tain hig viexy of such an allinuce, Tho nume of this 1endinyLiboral Ropublican 18 not givou, nor 15 1 8ald wyat Htato Lo hails from but it ia propor to Stmark that, if any such person hauboon promouading any suoh errand at Long Dranck, ho isan arrant humbug. Tho roasons which lod the Liborala away from tho Republican party in 1872 were of Cten. Grant's making prinoipally, and they aro more numorous and weighty now thau thoy wore thon. It s further siated, as an indication of tho Trosidonts doelro fo unite with tho Liberal Ropublicans, that ho bLas proposed toaid Insecurivg the nommation of Senator Tonion as thie Ropublican candidato for Govorn- or of Now York, to the dismay and annibilation of Couliling ond tho othor pnrty leadors in that Btate. Whothor this bo true or not, it 1ins no signifiennce outside of Now York, Tho Liporal Republican movemont in the Wast, in 1872, was an honest ono, having fority purposo ueoded reforms in the Government, Thoss ro- forms aro moro nocded now thon ever bofore. ‘Thoy have found thelr most atolid nnd inexora- blo autagonist in the Promdent, It fa Imporsible to separato him from the abuses origiunted, fos- lored, and enjoyed by him during his slx years administration, and, though ho may now chooso to abandon tho Republican party, which he has unod ns & pack-horse, and may declare himself Reformer, the Liberal Republicans of the West caa havo no confidouco in him, nor will they confont to placo bim in a position whord ho may defy publio ventiment four years longer. THE MOULTON LETTER, Tho Mutusl Frivnd has at last potin hia ap- pearance in the Becchoer-lilton cago, and nl- though ho bas not yot given his testimony mor submitted any of hig documents, the lottors which wero drawn out of him by Mr. Boecher indieato thathois prefty heavily shotted, Do- oauso Mr. Moulton hns been quicl, has avolded snying auything to compromieo oithor side, and has ubsented himself ponding the investigation, thero have boon those who havo reasoned that ho was, nt the best, but » gossip or a convoniont and dull repository of sccrots. Thoso people bavo now discovered their ‘mistake, and found that an ugly pnssonger has beon wakoed up. Tho fiual lotter of Aug. 4, in auswor to Mr. Leecher’s imputations upon Lis (Moulton's) honor, 18 quite as threatening ee tho original lotter from Tilton to Bacon, both on account of its subjoct mattor and becauso it is the lotior of » man not directly interested in’ tho issue, and having no ‘conneotion with if, oxcopt as tho trustoo of certain documents and papers con- fided to him by Beccher and Yilton, and which he is now suthorized to produco by their joint ln- structions. This lotter was brought out by Mr. Boocher himsol!?, In his communication to Mr, Moulton, beaviug the samo date, Lo had charged that gon- tloman with conduet which,it truo, was vory dishonorablo. Tho substance of this chargo was that he (Moulton), while holding lottora aud doc- uments belonging to Mr. Beechoer in trust, had allowed Mr, Tilton access to them for makingan aseault upon him, had connived nt Ar. Tilton’s garbling of their contents, had oven exposed thom to outsiders, hawked thom about in news- papor oftices, and offerad thom for salo on the slreot. Thero aro enly two wiys in which to account for tho wriling of such o letter. Eithor Xir. DBeechor folt that he wns innocont of the chiargo made against him, or, scting under foolish advice, ho meant tho letlor to intimidato and 'bluft Moulton, ‘Whatever may have bion the motive, it iy quite ovident that Mr. Docohor has ceasod to bo jovial and conteated uader tho weight of tlieso charges, which, whetlor truo or uutrue, ought to bo suficient to moko & man perfectly sober. He hos ovidently arrived at the conclusion that this is not o trifle to bo dissipated with n bon mot ; that his good name and tho hopes of his futuyo aro ot stako; that tho moen with whom Le is denling aro in carnest; aud that tho public vognrdn any further Jovity or concenlmont as in- decorous and disgusting. . AMr, Montton joge Mr. Beccher's momory and reminds him that they (Beecker nud AMoulton) woro ouco mutually apprchensive ‘‘lest Mras, Hooker (Mr, Beccher's sister) should fuliil a deo- sign which sho foreshadowed, to invade your pulpit and vead to your congrogation a confos- slon of your intimacy with Mry, Tilton.” When, thorofore, Dir. Boccher cliarges upon Moulton thet Do bae-disclosed noy communications from his sistor, ho rominds bim that not only hos he been failblul to his duty, but algo that the confession is up to this timo so- curo, aud that 3lrs, Hoolter has not yot had the opportuvity to rond it in Mr, Boocher's pulpit. Whon ho sceuses Mr. Roulton of allowing Mr. Tilton to have nccess to his depository of ma- tarial, Lo nat only affirme that the chargo is un~ true, but intimates that Mr, Tilton not only has uot bad necess to his material, but will be very muel turprised to find, whea the materialia muodo public, that tho chargo is oven wovse than ho mado it in tho outset. ‘10 groat scandal haa reached the beginning of tho end. Mr, Moulton will appear Lofore tho Committeo Saturday pight, having wisely takon tino enough to malie copics of theso documonts, sa that the arigluals caunot bo destroyed. When his tastimony is all in, and the contenta of theeo documents are kuown, there will bo no difficulty in forming u judgment, if thoro bo any now. THE INSURANCE QUESTION. It in & sad commentury on tho intelligence of & cortain clags of tho conmunity that it los be- come nacossary in this age of tho world to rocall to thow mindy tho bonafits which insuranco con- fors on society. It 18 a very easy thiug to eny: © 0t tho insuranco companies g0; " ** Liet the in- suranco companies clear out ;™ but how little do thoso who uso such oxpressions understaud of tleir full import! We have already culled niten- tion to the fuot thet insuraunco is the basis of eredit, and theroforo of commorcinl pros- pority; that, in o vory imporfant sonso, it fs tho maklog of Chicngo, ns it I8 the making of ovory city; aud that to “lot the insuranco companies go" means to let our crodit, our commoree, and our further growth go. Wero tho insuranco compunios to abandon Chi- cago, ouv city would not only cosso to develop, it would immodiately enter on ths poriod of its declino, 'Phio doparturo of the insurauce com- panios from omong us would be notico to the wholo world to trust Clicngo businoss mon -no longer ; to capital to stay away from us; to poo- plo not to como to swoll our population; to proporty-owners hore to go where thoy might {iud insurauce, ond, therefore, sconrity; for in- yuranco and scourity aro synonymous, Lot us suppose & stato of socloty in which in- sursnco i unknown, Every loss loaved u porma- nont effect ot tho production of wenllh and on tho condition of the laborlug class. Where a factory or shop I8 destroyed, there i a tolal loss to ¢tho proprictors and to tho ocommunity of which bLe s a momber, Phe production of tho artiales Lie was manufactuying is arrostod, Ho s him- solf yoduoed to o stata of bankvuptoy, Ho uay Laveukill ; ho may have exporiononj helas no { dapléal, and no woourdby. 1o eaunoh rlae b Lis foot again. But this ia not tho worst of it. His hands aro disobarged; o numbor of Inbor- ors loso tho moans of subsiatonco ; thelr onforcod idlonens broeds immorality and orimo ; Mlls tho jals with strong mon who should bo adding to tho wealth of tha communily by tholr labor; incronses tho taxation of all proporty-own- ords in ordor to support tho paupors and the criminals produced by tho desiruction of tho capital that employed thom. The dimon- sions which this pauporism, 1dlonees, orime, ang doworalizalion on tho ono hand, and opprossive {axation on tho othor, may assumo, can be measured only by tho amount of wealth swopt away in o conflagration, ‘Wo do not mean to sy that insurance com- panios can restore capital onco dostroyed. Thoy cat do no more than make componsation for tho destruction. But this compeneation, coming, as 1t doos, from wealth hold in resorvo to fillup uny vacuum created n tho medism of produc- tion, nots, to b cortain oxtent, lke tho croation of now woalih, and tnkes tho placo of that which was deatroyed, It doos mnot ro- storo what the flames consumod, but it keops tho mnachinery of commorco running all the timo; it canses the production of wonlth o proceod without intorruption; by distributing tho loss among large number of porsons it prevents tho stroam of eapital which drives the whools of industry from running dry ab any timo, innsmuch aa it holds a full reservoir of woalth always in rondincsa to bo poured into tho chiennol should it by avy contingoncy becomto suddenly ewpty. Thouks to tho oxistonce of insurance companies, no sooner {8 & maw's stoelk, or shop, or factory destroyed, than itis agaln roplaced, himsolf saved from ponury, and tue Iaborers ho employa fromdloness and starva- ton, How much wo owo to insurance compaules is gomothirg indoed of which fow mien have an sdoquate realization, 'Ihoe world has benofited largely by competition in business; but not until insurance of il kinds hod o firm footing did tho ‘benefits of compotition bogin to make tuomeolves folt in tho commerclal world. Com- potition in irado and insuranco are very closely conncetod. In o busiuces in which tho risk is grent, thoro will be comparatively littlo compoti- tion; profits will bo large, and the purchaser or consatner will bo Leavily toxed for tho beneflt of thoso who engage in it. Tho practico of fnsur- anco, by dimmishing tho amount of risk in all branches of comworce, has incroased com- potition, nnd dono away with the enormous proflts mado by the fow to the dotriment of tho many. Woroe it not for mariue insurnnco, such indispensablo articles of food ag tonand colfeo, to gay nothing of articles of Juxury, would bo be- yond tho monug of any but the woaltby. It hes been froquently pointod out bt tho merchant marino of the Europenn countrios roceived its firat great impotus after and in congequonce of the {ntroduction of tho practico of insurance. Both ships and buildings are now mado botter and stronger in consoquonce of tho custom of insuring them.

Tho Iattor acknowledges tho failure to fulfill tho pledges of 1872 and tho nocosslty of roform; declares that tho responsibility of tho kuavery has boen “‘mads chargeablo to tho colorod raco; appesls to Ropublicans of ovory shindo, porticularly tho darkoest, to eleot decont mon; exhorts them to worl for tho passagoe of the Clvil-Rights bill ; and closos with a *hurrab, boys," for the Republican party. As snon as this colloction of words was {n print, the Repub- lioan pross of tho North went wildat what it termed o vroot of *‘reform in tho party.” Wo hove had too much reform in words. Aliltle in doods would not bo amisa, In 1871, thoro wan this sama sart of combination in Bouth Carolina, "Plio tuloves rolled tho shibboloth *roform " out of their mouths with unctuous salisfaction. ‘Thoncoforth overything was ta be pure audlove- 1y and of good roport. So thoy elected Mosga! Now, under the pressuro of a coming olection, #reform ™ 14 ground out again in coplous quan- tity—of words.

It1s frankly confossed that Mosos, whom ovory man (n tho State accusos of bolvg dishon- est, will probably bo renominated at the Convon- tion choson in rosponms to thls call for- roform, Thero {8 vaguo tallk of bolting should Moses carry the day. But what can bolting do? Tho election laws of tho Stato put tho whole control and count of the vote into the hands of the Governor and tho Chief-Justico, Tho firat is Frantlin J. Moses, Jr.; the second is Frouktin J. Moses, 8r. Tho nogroes will not desort tho Ropublican party as yet, Its falluro to pass tho Civil-Rights LI has sbaken but not shattored thoir contidence, Thoy romembor how fiorcoly tho bolt of honest Republicans in 1872, aftor Moses' nowination, was douounced Ly tho #loyal ” pross of the whola country, A straight tickot is thoir fotish, Whoovor gots the Ropub- licse pomination will probably bo olocted, and Mosos is apparently the coming man, If ho runs, tho Consorvatives of South Carolina will nom- inate an hopest man's teket, aud work (without much hope) for its success. If the Convention of the black party nominates a docont ticket, the Conservatives will support it. Tho latter aro apparcntly actuatod by a sincore, though hopoleas, dosire to save tho old State. They express thoir .willingnoss to subordinute =il party issuocs, and to vote for any man or sob of mon who, if put in power, will ool steal, While they stand ready to sink tho distinctions of raco and color, tho pogroes are more keonly alive o thom than over. Tho dofont of the Civil-Righta bill hus iuflamod tholr passions. Bo- curs in their overwholming majority, they threat- on and taunt, Congressman A, 8. Walloco enid tohisconstituonts, a few daysago: ** Yourrights aro in poril and you must defend them. If you don't get thom at the ballot-box, you must rve- sort to tho cartridge-box.” 'l fact ia that tho Southern negroes have bLmnd so much given to them tuat they can bonr the rofusal of nothing., Their rage over tho miscarriage of the unwiso and questionable Civil-Rights bill is na florco g8 it is impotent. Thoy noed to be taught that Congress doos not exist for tho sake of passing sho laws they foolishly think will do them good. It s time for plain spesking. So far the colored msn bas, lamentably failed in public lfe.
