From the publications in some of our lliouie exchanges, relating to the New Haven scandal, one might imagine that •the Georgia law forbidding the circula tion of the Police Gazette and other like publications in this state, was for the particular benefit of a home monopoly in indecent things. The postmaster-general recom mended the abolition of the second-class postage rate and the allowance of all (newspapers and periodicals to pass ! through the mails free. This is a deci ded step in the real advancement of civ- ■ lilization, and it is becoming that pro gressive America should be first to give tree mail delivery to a free press.

I. i K; a.; Bk ABEKATION OF THE MINH The Cause of Or. Cofton's Stransjn Con duct—A Card from the £lders of His , Church—His Physical Condition. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.] The story cf Dr. Lofton’s trouble on ■ . the Ohio and Mississippi train Friday i . I night caused a very great sensation. No I minister of the gospel is better known | than the Third Baptist pastor, an# the ■ news was received by all classes with I J astonishment and regret. The members , I oi Dr. Lofton’s church were particularly ' thunderstruck. They had known the i . ; man so intimately that they were ex- ' tremely loth <o believe the details. A i • number of the members of Dr. Lofton’s ' ; congregation met .at bis residence, 126 i ; South Fourteenth street, last night, and - ■ I after some consultation prepared the ; i following card, in which they do notex- : i press any opinion of the facts, but ask a suspension of public opinion : . To the I’cbi.ic: The undersigned have read i in tlie Post-Dispatch of to-duv an irrcouutof the alleged conduct of the Rev. George A. Lofton, , . the pastor of the Third Baptist church, on the ’ cars between this city ami Vincennes. Ind., on j Friday and Saturday last, and desire to make | the following statement in regard to the-same: I We are, and have been for years, members of the ’ Thin! Baptist church, and without undertaking to deny or admit the statements of the article above referred to, not knowing whether they are ; true, as stated, believe it due both to Dr. Lofton ; ; and his family and his church to apprise the ’ public of a very sad and painful fact in regard to Mr, Lotton. and that is. that his mental condi tion has been such for months that nt times he i I was wholly irresponsible for bis acts. He has : suffered very much since last October from nervous prostration, and haseversince that time , | been threatened with paralysis of the brain. He was sent to Hol Springs last summer by his i church, after a delirious attack of some weeks, I .luring a part of which time he had to be con , lined to his bed by force. He was under treat- | I meat at Hot springs for eight weeks for threat- I ; ened paralysis of the brain and nervous prostra ) tion. Dr. Lofton was advised by his physicians j at Hot springs that his cond.tion was sjich that ! he would endanger his life iiv meditating to pros ' ecute his duties as pastor. "He, however, feeling - that he was improve !, returned from Hot i Springs and resumed his pastoral work up to a few days ago, when it was noticed that be was , failing rapidly. He vas advised by his leading • church members to give up his work entirely, at least forthe present, and endeavor to rein perate Ins health, believing that a further prosecution <d his duties as pastor would lead to serious ami perhaps fatal results. He Icit ihecity on Friday last to visit some relatives in Georgia and rest. A number of bis church members felt at the time that he was not in a mental condition to travel alone, but on Friday last he appeared better than for some days past, and l-mnc- they did not in terfere with his expressed purpose to travel. Dr. Lofton has been the pastor of the Third | Baptist church for the last live years. He had a sunstroke in 1879. and has had a number of de lirious attacks in which he hail to be restrained : by force from destroying himself until he could I be quieted by opiates. He has been a most ac tive ami useful pastor, ami has led a most e.xem i plary life among Us. He has constantly overworked himself with its, I against the repeated protests of his church. We I believe that if Dr. Lodi n was guilty of the con- I duct ascribed to him in the article referred to. I it was w hen he was wholly irresponsible lor his acts. We ask a suspension of public opinion j until the fm-tscan b: accurately known. W. A. Mi-Flmil. D. W . Guernsey, I'bos. Peeks, | J. IL Teasdale, \\ M. Senter, A. G. Trevor. Ira Perry, W. B.
