The Daily Herald HENRY WARD BEECHER AND THE FREE LOVERS. SUNDAY. JUNE 29, 1873. ALKl. ST. CL AIR* ABRAMS. HE NIK Y W. GRADY, R. A. ALSTON, Editors and Duaagen. j The Woodhull-Claflin sisters have been ac- ! quitted, by the ruling of a Federal judge, on THE HERALD PUBLISHING company, [ a legal interpretation of the law relating to the mailing of ‘‘obscene publications.” While, however, this is the ostensible reason, we sus pect that the real cause was the possession by Woodhull and Claflin of letters written to them by Henry Ward Beecher and Theodore Tilton, which would have covered those worthies with disgrace, if they had not ac quitted the free lovers. No person who has paid attention to the course pursued by Henry Ward Beecher can avoid the conclusion that the damaging charges brought against him are something more than mere slanders. Mr. Tilton is said to have accused him of making improper ad vances to Mrs. Tiiton; and Bowen openly charged him with having ravished a member THE TERMS of Xha HERALD a DAILY, 3 Month*... 2 60 | WEEKLY, 3 Months DAILY, 1 Month.... 1 00 1 Advertisement* inserted at moderate rate*.

H. Moore, who will from this date hold the position of City Editor of the Herald. For weeks Mr. Moore was the mainstay and support of the Sun; his depart ment being noted for its admirable manage ment. One of the best city editors in the South, a diligent worker and an easy, grace ful writer, we feel assured that under his management the city department of the Her ald will be unequalled by that of any paper in Georgia. Mr. Moore will have the assis tance of Messrs. Goodwin and Anderson, who have been, for months past, connected with the Herald. The editorial department will remain un der the exclusive management of the proprie- ters, Messrs. St. Clair-Abrams, Grady and Al ston. In this connection, it is proper to say, that there is no foundation whatever for the absurd reports which have been current that one or more of the proprietors desired to sell, utmost confidence in their ability to prove the truth of what they averred. While it is more than probable that the horrible story, told with such dramatic force by Victoria Woodhull greatly exaggerates, still we are forced to the conclusion that it contains much that is true. No innocent man would shut his lips in the face of charges so grave. Mr. Beecher is certainly a man of prominence, holding a high position in the social world, and wielding a vast influence; still his previous good character and his influ ence are not enough to give the lie to an ex plicit charge of immorality so flagrant that, it it be trae, merits him a hell deeper and hotter than any we have ever beard of. Neither can he afford to remain silent any longer without engendering in the public mind a belief that he is a base, bad man, who, in the guise of a preacher of Christianity, has practiced and secretly promulgated the most beastly social idea that ever cursed the world; and by his or was about to sell, his or their interest in j abilit 3’ position sought to undermine the the paper.

Of Mr. Beecher us that the existence of white Louisianans depends upon what bis resolutions call the “unification of the races ? ” Is their existence dependent upon the sweeping away in one blow of every barrier that four centuries of social customs have erected between them ? Is there not something puerile and cowardly in this declaration ? We very readily admit tha t the political sit uation in Louisiana is a grave one, and that, by the action of the Federal Government, the ; State is now in the hands of a most unprinci- ! peled set of scoundrels. But if the rapacity of thieving carpet-baggers had become so great, and their oppressions so severe, that the existence ot white men was at stake, there was a nobler and a more manly method of meeting the danger than by welcoming the doctrines of the most violent advocates of social equal ity. Twenty well armed, determined men could certainly have been found in Louisiana to strike one bold, daring blow and end the danger. True enough, such a course would have put the State under martial law; but it would, at any rate, have taken Louisiana out of the hands of the scoundrels who bad placed .he very existence of her white population at peril.

DR. TAYLOR’S CASK. You have all read or visited the numerous mineral springs in Virginia and this State, but it is only re cently that the springs at which I now write have been made prominent. Scarcely more than a year ago Dr. J. A. Taylor, of your city, a member of the large drug house of Pemberton, Taylor A Co., sought these springs, hoping to get some relief from the rheumatism, to which he had been s victim for a long time. He left Atlanta on crutches, with dim eyes and hollow checks, looking as if death had marked him for his shortly, claim him. When Dr. Taylor returned, every acquaintance of his was astonished. The change in the man was absolutely marvelous. His rheumatism was entirely gone, bis crutches were thrown away, and he stout and hearty as any man in Georgia. THE PURCHASE.

BEECHER’S CASK. The Brooklyn Eagle states that the Examining Com mittee from Plymouth Church has received from F. West s specific charge of slander against Henry C. Bowen, and his expulsion is called for. It is charged that he has circulated false slanders against Beecher, and at the latter's request, the investigation is to be proceeded with immediaiely by fifteen deacons. The Eagle adds that the charges refer in the main to cer tain utterances made by Bowen at the recent confer ence which took place at the house of Woodhull. There is much excitement among the members of Beecher’s church over the matter. THE FREE LOVERS.

The commis sion business is chiefly confined to corn, bacon and general produce and such articles as pay very small profits. A merchant has to sell a very large quantity to make a very small amount of money, and hence a tax on sales bears more heavily on the commission merchant than any other. A merchant who sells a sack of coffee for $48 and makes 75 cents does well to pAy 12 cents tax, without raising it to 50 cents.
