Garfleld hos been nominated for Con- gross by the Ropublican Cunvontion in his dis- \rict, and 15 prolty safa to carey the_olcction. Ho has been woll nronsed during the past fow . joms to the danger of losing his hold upon sopular confidonce, and will probably disappolnt uis cnemics and gratify his friends by making ais future carecr in Congross a0 conspicuously puro us to placo hini above suspleion. y The obsequies of Bishop ‘Whitchonse weroe tolobrated yesterdey in tbis city, and the ro- maiug were sent in charge of aspecial doputa- tion of well-kuown citizens to New York. Somo of tho tributes to the memory of the lamented dend are pecutinrly tauchiug aud valuable can- tributions to tho local history of the Church. An extended report of tho ceremonies will be found élsawhero in this paper. Cnnadian manufacturers find almost a3 muck food for dwscontent in "the proposed Reciprocity Treaty as auy one of tho unhappy lumbermen in Auino or salt-mon in tho Saginaw Valloy, Itis worll noticing, roally, thnt tho treaty wiil bon Dad thing for cortuin mupufaeuirors on both sidos of tho border, nud o wonderfully- good thing for thoso wuo bave sgricultural products to soll. It sbould bo a comfort for the Northern peo- plo to roflct that they woro not vory much alarmed, aftor all, by tho rumors of wur in fiesispippi. 'Tho affuir proves to havo had no resulta moro sorious lhan tho death of oue nogro. I thore had really hicon much conster- nation over so paltry n picco of business as this, thero would now bo a genoral eraving for more bloodshed, in ordor to satisfy the dignity of the occasion.

In consequence of the criminal negligence and stupidity of railway ofilcials in Vermont, an acei- dent ocenrred yostorday by which fivo porsons wero killed outright and fifteon wore soriously injured. A cloaror ¢eso of munslanghter could not bo mado out, It apponrs that u bridge had been carried away by o freshet, oud tho section-mon wore awaro of the fac, et they did not caution tho coming train, Thoy forgot, of course; thatwill bo in theirdefonso, It in time that forgetfulnoss whivh causes loss of lifo ghould be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary; and tho aggravated case in Vor- mont furnishes an oxcellout opportunity for making o beginning of tho new dispennntion.

An- other was a tolegram from tiio Now York Sun, asking that o spoctnl messenger bo sont on the carly train to Now York with a copy of Tur Tumuse containing the lottors, thot it might reach tho Sun ofiies two or {hreo honrs oarlier than if sont by il or expross, The Now York Tribune requeeted that throe col- umbs of thoso lotters bo sent it by telomaph; and tho Npringfiold (Mnss,) Republican, and va~ rious other prominont newspapera thraughout the country, promptly solicited Jong special tole- grame ahont thom, The now Yorl papors will goon begin to have faith in the old adago that one wust go away from home to hoar the nows.

Doulton's stnto- ment boforo the Brooklyn Invostigating Com- mittee Is made publio this mornlug, But, fn spita of this, tho long-oxpectod ovont has not como to pags at all. Moulton bas not made his statomont. IIe haa mado @ atatomont.. It is the statomont which the publlo wore promised, It 18 not tho statoment which Moalton intended to wako, It innot ovon tho statoment which he proparad originally. It ia not tho statamont which lio would profor to have made. But, un- dot tho elroumstances, it was tha ouly ang which tho lawyoers ndvisod lum to make. It was tho only ouo which his connsol would, everything congidored, sliow bim to make. Iad tho Brook- Iyn Invostigating Committoo boon appoint- ol to fry Deochor, tho evont hich tho country las oxpodted so anxiously would have wow trauspired; Moulton would have mado not a statgment but hiis state- mont, the siatoment he prowmised, which ho in- toudod to make, would -have proferred to malo, and nctunlly had' preparod. But the Erooklyn Tuvestigating Committeo was not ap- pointed to try Bocohor; It was appointed to aequit Beochior,' It was uppointed ot to givo an impartial hearing to evidenco nnd to pass au im- partial judgment on sl tho facts adduced, but to ondeavor to throw aspersions on tho cheracter of witnessos, nud to put thom o trinl instead of thoman thoy wore ostonsibly proscouting. It is vory natural that a witness called to testily ngaivst o mnn bofore o court and jury packed m that man's favor should feol indioposod to say anything more thau he cowld possibly holp, When o witness knows that tho trial in which ho ia called to givo evidence {8 nuham, ko kuows, too, that thero is littlo use fn bis giving to the Judges destrnctive and un- welcomo ovidotco,—umvelcome and destructivo both in quality and quantity. No Iswyer would adviso o witness to toll all ho knows against o criminal on trial when hie understood right well that fullness of ovidenco would have no effect but to sequit the eriminal, creato fll-will agaiuat his cliont, and oxposo tho witness himsalf to the attacks of court, jury, and of a partial, projuiced prost, Bo far os this Committco was con- cornod, Moulton was porhaps, justified in keoping it from them. Tho monuer in which Deocher's judges treated Tilton and his ovidones was a dotorring examplo o other wit- .nesses, Moulton profited by tho examole., He wont so far ns to stato the rensous why he did not wish to Iny » full statement before the Com- mitteo, o did not want fo say any more than wag nbsolutely necessary. Ile had no desire to injure Deecher boyond what wag necessary to save Tilton's charactor for voracity, For all thoso reasons, and for the further one thatit was best Moulton's full statemont should come aftor Boccher's, tho publio may oxcuso tho for- 1ner's rofusl to lng all tho ovidouco in Lis poa- seasion beforo the Investigatiug Committoa, Thero is suother tribusal which cavnot nccept this oxcuso. Moulton must now give to tho public tho statement he refused to givo to the Committee, Practically, tho Committes haa lost jurisdiction of tho caso, Tho whole coun- try hos taken cognizancoof it. It fa not only tho confidonce of Montton and his lnwyors which thoe Commilteo has forfoitod; it hos surren— dored the confldence of the whole country. The rougony that induced Moulton to rofuse to lny Lis ovidenco before the Committeo should movo him to lay it bofore the whole Ameriean pooplo "Tho Peoplo are uok a packed cowtorjury. 'Thoy are Impartial, unprejudiced, anxious only to know tho troth; carlog only for tho lruth; ready to ncquit’ Deccher if his guilt is not proved ; prepared to brand Tiltou as o slanderer and forgor if tho facts warrant such action on their part. The groat court of pubtic opinions mighty in all the qualitics of & good Judge and Jury, atositting, and anxious to hear from Moul~ ton, They.demsud Ais statement, not a state- ment. Thoy demand the statoment ho promised them. Thoy demand the statement he had pro- pared. Justico unites hor voico to that of tho peoplo in asking for the wholo evidence. Wo do not think that a mau like Moulton, who through- out this wholo affuir ks shown g0 much excellent good judgment In insuring justico to all, will feel that he can afford to refuse to hear such o demand’ when made upon Lim in the nawe of tight, Religion, and Socioty, B THAT REACTION, ‘Wo have already comaented upon the politi- cal yavolution m Kon:ucky and Tennessco, To- day wo give some fucts and Aguros about North Cavoling, In 1872, tho flrat gun of the Prosi- dentinl campaign was fired in that State.

T'he maritat corruspondence botweon Theodors and Elizaboth ‘Lilton during the yesrs from 1865 to 1870, which was publishoed in tho lnst issus of Tug TRinuNE, conatitutos & comploto viudica- tion of MMr. Tilton from n vory serious chargo which was mado agatnst him, and this vindioa- tlon is all the more romarkablo and satisfactory thiat it comos from the nceusor horsolf. Wore it not for this, and tho fact that thoy have » slrong boaring upon tho csse a8 botiwoon Mr. Tilton and Mr. Bocoher, both directly aud indirectly, thoie appenrauco in print would cause @ feoling of paln, oy o violation of confldonces which should only bo divulged uuder tho pressuroc of oxtraor- dinary eircumstancos. The necessity which induced Mr. Tilton to furnish them for pub- leation, however, will strike ovory reader. They are & part of the record of the caso, Mrs.. Tilton in lor statomont modo o direct charge agalnst hor husband, and ono which was not only very damoging to him os a man and o husband, but ono whioh, if truo, might palliate tho alionation of hor affec~ tons Irom him and thoir transfor to Mr. Beecher. ‘Thero was but ono way to disprove this chargo, and that was to publish the entire correspond- euco which covored tho timo during which she alloged that theso abuscs oxisted. Mr. Tilton's connsel has not only dono this, but, with por- feob Impaitinlity, he bas also furnished ‘Tilton's own lotters, Bo that "tho contoxt may bo complote, and tho realer mny judgo for himsolt ‘ms to the truth of tho charges. Thoy will cause somo pain; but it will not arige from tho revelation of houso- hold sanctities so much as from tho fack that this constant and fervid protestation of love, this overflowing profusion of endoarments, this torrent of rhapsody, strauger and stronger than anything in the pnges of poctry snd romence, sooms to bo only a gorgeous veil which covers o |- folgo face, the gilding of rottonnoss, the veneer- fug of bypoerisy. The rudest jar which the lot- ters will mako upon tho scnsitive reader is (ho familiar and common manuer in which overy- thing conneoted witl' religion and with God is woven into this domestic dramne, which now scoms to bo the very fiction of despair. The chargo which Mrs, Tilton made against her husband was, that during these years sho was the victim of constant and gross nbuso on bis part. These lottera absolutely anuibilata tho chargoe, and makeo ono of two conclusions irre- sistible: aither that Mrs. Tilton's charge is n malivious falsehood concocted by the lawyors, or that she isivsane and doos not know what words moun whon sho writes them. If sho is insano, then no part of Lor statoment is outitled to a moment's considoration. If eho f8 not insane, then the falsity of this chargo throws suspicion upon the cradibility of all tho other charges in Lor statomont. It is incouceivable that the chargo i8 truo. These lotters have ront and shivered 1t from top to bottom. Out of her own mouth the witucss has convicted horself. To any of these diffevent forms of abuso al- legod Lv bher thore is but one allusion in oll theso lotters, aud thot is made by Mr. Tilton himsolf. In a lotter written from Akron, O., Jan, 15, 1809, ho gantly chides Lior for what o cousiders oxtravagauco in buy- ing drosses for the childreu, but, at tho samo timo, chides Limeelf with equal soverity for Lis own extravagauce. e xonkes o frauk statoment of his finances to her, tells her ho has made a vow not to buy anotlier unuecessary articls dur- ing the year, aud urges her to do tho same, In another letter ho says: * Of course I wish you to cconomizo as much as poseiblo till I get rid of tho burden of carrying o houso on my back. But I do not wish your economy eithor to pinch your daily purse orto worry your daily peace,” 1f this is abuse, then it is an sbuse that is prac- ticed in every well-ordered household, and ought to.bo practiced in all housololde. ‘Wo hinve no knowledge of tho unwritton con- veraations botwoen Mr. and Mrs. Tilton with ro- gaxd to Dir. Beecher. Tho lettors do not fur-- nigh us much additional light, but what wo do bave {5 important, One of the principal chargey in ler stutemont was concerning his insano Jenlousy of Mr. Boecher aud the abuse to whicn slio was subjected on this account., I'his does vot appear in bis lotters. In tho whole category of hin Jottors thero is but one importaut allusion to Becchor, aud this of such a nature that it fs diflicult to determine whether it is written in playfl badivego or in satire, Writiug from Dubuquo, To., Tilton saya: “If you cun get anybody to pour tea for you, and to take sauce from tho sorvants and to rocoive pnstoral visits, I ghatl expoct to most you under the roof of Robert Hatfield.” 1£ tuls jenlousy were sucki an overweoning puse sion with him, influcnoing his wholo lifo, it 18 strange at leust that wo find no traco of it in thoir lottora, I Birs. Tilton's lotters, on tho othor hand, the caso is differcnt. Thero aro counstant exprossions of tho aitach- ment botween hersolf and her pastor, and, although there Is nothing which might be con- strued to moan o criminal intimacy (thoy do not come down to the timo of tho confossion made to nor husband), there is enough to shov tho struggle which was going on in hor mind be- tween her attachmont for Mr, Beechor anl her convictions of duty, At oue timo she eaya: “I think I lhave lived a rlehor, happlor lifo sinco I lave koown Lim" (Boocher), Aguin: “I do love him yory dearly, and I do lovo you supremely, nttani;'— boliove it. Perhups If I, by God's grice, keop mysolf white, I ooy bleas you both. Ism striviug. God Dbloss this trinlty, You glall bave a pure, true wifo, by and by." Agan: “ Mattlo is hungry to bear from you.

It sooms that Mr, W. A. Richardson and Gon, J. W. Binglaton, of Quinay, aranot {n favor of sn honest curroncy, and are not in favor of an honest paymont of debta; but, like tho nogro legislators of South Carolins, favor a *scal- ing” of tho public debt and the re- pudiation of s largo portion thoraof, ‘These gontlomen, therofore, refuse to recognizo tho call as including them any moro than it does tho nogro loglslators of South Carolina, aud thoy ‘wagh thelir hauds of all participation in the Con- vention. In the meantime the Ropublicansbave repeated tho tactica employed in 1872, aud heneo Jo Ledlie, who was the nominal head of tho 0'Conor wing of the Grant party in 1872, bas is- sued & coll for 8 Domocratic Shinplaster Conven- tion to meet at Bpriugfleld on the 25th of Aue gust. Tisis Convention will proposo to degrade tho greonbacks and to then *pay” tho public dobt in tho degraded currenoy. Whothor Gon. Singleton aud Gov. Richardson will unito with Jo Lodlie, is more than wo can say, This is the present condition of the case, The Ropubticans have nominated a Btato tickoet, and issued an uncortain and meaningloss platform on the currency, Tho Independents, a large branch of the Opposition, have nominated can- didates upon @ *‘more paper” platform. The Dontocratio Committee, with a viaw of_onabling tho party to unite with all branchos of the Oppo- sition, cnlled a convention of thoso in favor of clevating the greouback to tho specie standard; aud thero are porhaps fifty or sixty thousand voters In thia Btato who have heretofore, and ospecially in 1872, voted the Republican ticlat, who nro willlng to unite upon a single State ticket to be supported by all branches of the Op- position, but who sill not do o unless permittod to oxpress their convictions and opinions on the cmrroncy quoestion. Mossrs., Richardson, Singloton, Ledlie, and, we understand, ox-Cone gressman McNeely, donot wish auy allianco with anybody who does not favor the issuc of more rag-money, and the repudiation of o portion at loast of the public ddbt. A fundamental principlo of the Amorican Con- stitution, which is computeorily blonded with all the laws of sll tho States, and has becoma n moral maxim smong tho Amerieau pooplo, is that contracta aro inviolable. It is this logal and moral principle which sccures to overy man the wages of his labor, the price of his crops, the valuo of his mérchandiso. It is tho foundation of ull justice botwoon men, betwoen Statos, and botween C(overnments and men, Tho United States in time of war contracted heavy lisbilities, Its necossitios compolled the Governmont to sell bonds at whatever prico it could got for them, Tho War over, it is now proposed that the Gov- ernment sball ropudiato its contracts by pnying the holdors of its bonds the faco value theroof in a curroncy depreciated in value sud unkoown to tho Iaws, trade, or commareo of the world. 1t is proposed to * poy " one dobt whien now bears intorest by the ovi- donce of another debt not bearing intorest, hav- ing no commercial valuo ouisido of the United States, and which can bn purchissed on the vory stops ot tho Natlonal Troasury ab alargo dis- count, The Democratio Commitice have invited a convention of Demoorats, Indepondents, ex- Republicans, Liberals, and all others opposed to the Ropublican party, und opposead to inflation and ropudiation, to mect in convontion on tho 20th of August to unito upon a common Opposi- tion State ticket, and to oxproas thelr viows upon tho ourrenoy quostion, Of coursc, such an union moans tho complete defeat of the Ropub- licsn purty iu thiy State at tho Novembor oloction, And, of course, tho Ropublican pariy- wants no such unton to take place. It wants tho Domocratio party to deolare in favor of Re- pudiation, aud Io would boe rojolced if it would also deolare in favor of the re-ostublishmont of Blavery, Of courso, it has a high appreclation of Jo Ledlie, and forgots how it onco denounced Bingleton aud Richnidson as Copperhonds and trajtors, Gen. Logon 18 willlog to extond the right hand of followehip to Richardson and Sin- rloton, and gouorally aid them in kooping the Opposltion in THinols from nniting. % Tne Ouioado Prinune does not pretend to say what the Demooratio parly ass party ought to do. But no party can commend itself to tho favor of the peoplo by proposing to be more dis- honost than ita rivals, Bichardson may outbid Logan, and Bingleton may nuccassfully rival Gov. Mosos, of Bouth Carolins, Thore ia no dls- puting of tastos, But that large portion of the people who beliove in muintaining the public fuith, in clovating the people’s miouoy to par, and in prosorving tho inviolability of contracts, and who desire to rondor goneral reform posal- ble by thio dofoat and destruction of tho Repub- {oan pavly, oan havo no more interest in unit- ing with Domoceratls domngogues and repudls ‘ators than with thoso In power. : If, theraforo, tho Domoorats who moot with othora at 8pringtield on tho 20th inst. earnestly desiro to coment an union that will rosult in the dofont of tha Nopublicans in November, they can dowo, If thoy do not, and prefer to follow Jo Lodlle, or any othor guorrilla fighting in tho in- torost of the Ropublicans, thon thoey can do that, und haud over tho Stato to the Ropublicans un- dor an indefinlto losso of power. All that is avkod of the Domucratio mombers of that Con vention is an affirmation that honouty is tho best poliey; thal tho publio debt muat bo paid; that Lrass monoy, or any kind of monoy professing 10 bo what it is not, in dishoueat; that avery groonbaok shionld be mado worth 100 conts on tho dollar in coin ; aud that the United States will pay ita creditors {n tie only money recop nized among thoe clvilized nations of the carth, “I'his will mean success; thio opposite, deservod dofent, ¢ REFORM INSIDE THE PARTY This shibboleth scoms to mean *reform in- sido the politlciaus,” Credutous constitucnclog aro ronominating tho Congressmon who bave beon eaught in varlous sorts of jobbory, appa~ Tontly under a profound gonviction that some process has beon golng on inside cach ono of them by which knavory bas beon ohanged into ! ‘honosty and stupidity into intoliectual brilllancy. 8o far not a singlo Ropublicrn Congressman ‘Who hos shown hearty disgust at tho sins of his fellows has boon ronominated. Thoro is ono ox- coption to this rulo. The Hon. John A, Karson has elipped through the Ropublican Convention of his district by some mirnonlous chance. The Republicans of tho First and Second Vermout Diatricts have just mado thetr nominations. In theSecond, Luke P. Poland, who whitewashod the Credit-Motlior culprits, drow his back-pay, and secitred thie passage of tho press-gag-law drafted by Gov. Bhepherd, has beon nominatod. In the First, 0. W.

In Louisiana, the Ropublican State Con- vantion adopted o resolution about reform in- side party-lines and the unaltorablo resolve of Republicans to hominato only spotlessly-honest porsons, and thony renominated !tho presont 8tate Treasurer, Dubuclet, wbo is said to bo & notorious plunderer. Ifis reputation is 50 bad that tho Btate Auditor, Clinton, bas tondared his resignation in consoquenco of this action of the Convention. He says that he bas Daen trying to keep Dubuolet from stealing, and that he regarda tho lattor's renomination a8 sn iudorsoment of robbery and & rebuke to honos- ty. Ho wishes to draw himself out of that crowd. + These aro typical cngos. It is a thing to be romembered that not one of the Republicun porticipants in tho eslary-grab, the Credit-Mo- billor scanda), or the Pacifle-Mail swindle, has been. punishiod by bis party. A mild resolution of omi-consuro was aimed at Oakos Ames, but Lis constituents at once gave him & banquet of honer, and would bave ro-elootod him forth- with i bo bad not died just then. In other words, tho Ropublican party ia still fu tho bands of the very men who have ‘prostituted it to jobbery. It considers that vir- tue is its own reward, and so doprives the men who practico virtue of thoir ofticos. Bub tue Dutlers, the Polunds, and tho Negloys are ro- turned by acclamation, Ifa fervid popular in- dignation and earncst promises of reform insido thio party Lave bath proved so utterly unable to offeot anything, wlhat has the country to expact it that party is kept in power ? NEW YORK AND THE WEST. There recently appoared in the Now York Bul- letin o significant article. Tho object of tho writor is to give roasons why the snticipations for au active trade Love thus far not been ro- slized. The commission-houses and the import- ors have dono & good business, but tho jobbers complain that trado is still exceasively dull, As o roason for this tho Bulletin frankly confessos that **Thero bias boen, for yoars past, a vory do- cided tendoucy for the jobbing busincss to sottle more at tho interior,—notably ot Chicago and Cinciunati for the West, at St. Louis for tho Bouthwest aud the Far Wost, and st Baltimoro for tho South." Tho reasons tho writor gives for this chango are that merchauts can keep a closer wateh over their customers ; thoy své nearer to the sources otsupply ; smaller stocks can bo kopt and 188 expouse of timo and travel is omployed to flll up any deficionoy in any line of goods, with many other arguments which sonrs ago appoared in those columns to on- courago our own merchmits to attompt to con- trol the wholesalo trade of tho Northwest. Gradually and surely they lLave brought it withun thelr grasp, a8 New York fs now forced to admit. But thero are more cogent reasons why not only the jobbing trade, cspecially that for tho Wost, but tho commiasion, tho importing, snd many othor branches of business as well, must gradunily but surely leave New York. DBusinoss will always in the end concentrato whoro not only tho host facilitios aro afforded. to iransuct it, but where it can bo dono tho cheapost, No city is g0 great, no combination of capital is sufllciontly powerful, to control {t as against better facilitios and chenper handling and trau- sit. Tho history of commerce praves this be- yond the possibi!ity oI donbt. Tor n genoration tho State and tho Qity of Now York have been practicing extortion, The Btato has recoived from the West some &50,000,- 000 more iu tolls than the Erie Caual cost, and yet hor ruloss rotnin the enormous tolls heroto- fore ohnrgzed and rofuse to enlarge the caual, in order thut 8 million of surplus roceipts mny bo applied to support a whole hordoof politioal bummors quartored on lor worthless, latoral canale, Iow thoy will fare this year romaius to bo seen; for go sharp has boen the compatition of tho railways, putting down froights to 8 cants por bushol botwoeon Buffalo and Nuw York, that the tonnage on the canal Lus largaly fallen off, Tho Btato now exuots an average vt 40 por cent for tolls on tho cost of transportiing grain betwoon Lako Erio and the North Rivar.

Tho Baltimore & Ohio Railway, built chonply for cash, willin n fow months give tho products of the West muoh cheapor transit to tho ocesn.
