Mr. Ilceclicr on the witness stand
developed the fact that great preach
ers are great aisiors. Ourown Bishop
Beckwith, the tlnest elocutionist in
the State, would buve been, had he
selected the stage for his profession*
a tragedian whose success would have
been probably second to none. In
deed the ancient orator was right in
putting action the first, second and
third qualities necessary in u public
speaker. Nor is there anything dfs
rcsiiectfui in the comparison. The
same qualities arc necessary to se
cure success in each profession to a
limited degree. A successful lawyer,
if he adopts tho clerical profession, is
apt to be a successful preacher. Paul
would have made a splendid lawyer.
His speech to the Romans, when lie
alluded to their worshipping an un
known God, and by his matchless
eloquence and action, impressed them
with the existence of the true God,
showed a wonderful power over frail
human nature. To him, ' umanity
was a written page—life u sentence
the Individual but a punctuation
point. His analysis of humun nature
was as searching and keen os the
scalpol of the surgeon. Whatever
may bo Mr. Beecher's faults, the fact
that he has been the religious guide
of an immense number of pimple, and
considered by them as Infallible as
the oracle of Delphos of old, stamps
him as a genius combining the priest,
the actor and the elocutionist, to a
remarkable degree. His industry too
has been almost marvellous; his in
tellectual activity reminding one of
the most remarkable of all writers In
this respect, Loi>e do Vega. Mr.
Uoeclier says that from 1834 to 1873,
he has averaged about six addresses
In a week, oftentimes two in a day.
That he has also been a voluminous
author, about thirty-five books being
in his name. Ho has been connected
with journalism ever since lie was
licensed to preach in 1834. He has
been a lecturer from 1818 to 1875.
Since 1870 he has edited the Christian
Union, which has a circulation of uo,-
000 oopies. When he took charge of
Plymouth Church it only numbered
twenty-five members. The number
of communicants now is about 2,500
or 3,000; it has been 2,0n0 for the last
ton years. He lias conducted morn
ing and evening services, Friday even
ing meetings, and social rece}>tui*
in the parlor* of the Church. (Italics
ours.—Editor.) This last feature is
new to us, as is the fact that Ply
mouth Church has parlors for social
receptions.
With all this before us, yet we fear
that Mr. Beecher has, ns Lord Byron
said, “lied like truth, yet most truly
lied.” We are sorry for the 3,n00
members of his congregation.

Various causes have been assigned
for tho resignation of Gen. Spinner
us United States Treasurer. The De
troit Free Press thinks It is owing to
his inability to got along with Secre
tary of the Treasury Bristow. The
New York Post suggests that he lias
been forced to retire on account of
his greenback ideas, and that his suc
cessor is a hard-money man.
An Atlanta paper grows enthusias
tic in tho following terms: “As pious
us Abelard, and as ehivulrie ns Bay
ard, he united the qualities which in
all ages and countries command the
admiration of the fair sex.” The
New York Sun says; Ho came in
with Lincoln in 18 l. He is a gener
ous sort of man, with a good deal of
human nature in him ; and hav
ing been a Herkimer Democrat
for about sixty years of his life, ho
turned Republican and was made
Treasurer of the United States. In
European countries such an old pub.
lie functionary would not bo retired
without a pension. He lias been in
office for fifteen years. Salmon P.
Chose was Secretary of the Treasury
when he was appointed. Mr. Chase
was suooeeded by Fessenden, McOul
locll, Boutweli, iticliurdsou and Bris
tow. The now Treasurer, John C.
New, is at present Cashier of the
First National Bank of Indianapolis.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, while
praising him for his great honesty us
Is evidenced by his leaving t he office a
comparatively poor man, concludes;
as follows: “Spinner will be immor
talized in his signature. He is cm- j
balmed in a hieroglyphic.” Exit;

—The editor of the Albany Mows i
says his portion of the State is in bet
ter condition than any other. The !
people are buying no corn this year;
but, on the contrary, have shipped
sixteen car loads of corn to Macon,
and will probably ship more. A rigid
inquiry made of the warehousemen
of Albany during the past week re
veals the fact that applications by !
farmers for assistance has fallen off!
fully thirty i>cr cent., which is a grat
ifying state of affairs.
—Albany has had tine weather for j
two weeks past; corn all planter! and

The I’rnhlrm ol thr NenV* Future.
The HI. Louis Kepuhliran asks why
is it that all effort* to attract Immi
grat ion to Ihe Southern States have
failed? and proceeds to answer its
question as follows: “The Inert, im
movable negro population in the
Southern States Is an Impassable har
rier to immigration. Indeed, the fact
thut whites front tho North und
abroad refuse to go Into the South no
less now before emancipation,
proves that it was not slavery, but
the presence of the black race that
has caused the inferiority of those
States to their Northern sisters, in
wealth and power. There are live
blacks to seven whites in Virginia,
one black to every white in Louisi
ana, four blacks to three whites In
Mississippi, and four blacks to two
whites in South Carolina; and when
it is reflected that it is the nature of
the negro race to become so rooted in
the soil that nothing hut force can
detach him from it, the future of our
relations with this separate and infe
rior race is found to bo enveloped in
difficulty and uncertainty.”
We respectfully suggest that the J
chief obstacle to securing immigra
tion fertile South can he found in the
proscriptive laws imposed by a parti- ■
san Congress, in order to perpetuate ■
thepowerof the Radicals. Noamount
ol enterprise will induce a sensible
man to invest in a city like New Or
leans, where oppressive government
exacts as annual tribute, in the shajHi
of taxes, 9 per cent, per annum on the
value of tho real estate assessed. The
industries of the country do not aver
age more than 3 or 4 per cent. net.
Again, if there is one trait, in the Now
England mode of thinking, as exem
plified by the laws passed by Congress
since they got control of that body,
it is the determination to follow a
theory to its logical end regardless of
consequences. Thus the doctrine of
the irrepressible conflict culminated
in the Civil Rights bill, the Force
hill, and the amendments leading to
those extreme measures. Under these
circumstances we have not yet had
time or means to inaugurate a proper
system for securing foreign immigra
tion.
Before the war the Southern States
received as large accessions as the
Western States, but it consisted
almost entirely of negroes. This
was owing to the fact, that the system
of slavery required no intermediate
class between the rich and the poor.
The negro slave was the only laborer
needed in tho cotton field, and the
production of cotton dwarfed, under
that system, all other industries.
It requires a long time, under the
most favorable conditions, to divert
tho stream of emigration from its
natural channel. Its natural chan
nel follows isothermal lines; the
Scandinavian seeks a congenial lati
tude, ns does the German, English,
Swede, or any of the nationalities.
Now, tho southern nations of Eu
rope do not generally emigrate to
North America; and if they did, can
not be considered so desirable as the
phlegmatic German or the thrifty
Scot. In all of tlie mining districts
of the South will bo found men from
Birmingham or the mining districts
of Germany. The copper mines in
Tennessee will prove this to be true.
Again, the South generally itas no
public lands to give away to tho set
tler; and the policy of opposing in
ternal improvements by the general
government, followed by the South
ern States before the war, has result
ed in giving the 1 >ulk of shell im
provements to the East, and West,
since the Radicals have been in pow
er. Chicago and Illinois would have
been fifty years behind her present
condition but for the efforts of Steph
en A. Dougftiss, and the aid extended
by tho central government tg build up
that commonwealth. It is the bane
ful imlicy which builds Central Pa
cific railroads and enriches individual
Congressmen through “Credit Mo
billers,” while refusing to extend aid
to the Great Western Canal and
other Southern enterprises which
keeps the South down. She is a
prone Titan, struggling against the
tyrannies of a central government,

This gentleman, though a Repub
lican, Ims, by his measures looking
towards reform, won the plaudits of
the people. But it was reserved for
Yale College to crown him with the
laurel wreath. The following is the
letter of invitation;
Y ale College. Law Department, I
New Haven, Conn., March 24. j
His Excellency, 7>. It. Chamberlain:
Dear Sib— I am instructed by the :
Fuoulty of Yale Law School to invite
you to deliver an oration at the onstt- j
ing commencement of tho Law Ue-!
jxirtmcnt of Yale College, .June Seth, j
lS7u.
The oration will be followed by ad
dresses from members of the gradua
ting class. The exercises will take
place in tho Centre Church (Dr. Bu
eon’sj, President Porter presiding.
Permit me to add that it is our ear
nest wish that you will consent to
perform this service. I think we can
promise you as intelligent an audi
ence us New England can furnish,
and you can rely on a very warm wel
come from your alma mater.
May I add that you \vere our unan
imous and first choice for this posi
tion.
I send by this mail our spring cir
cular, just issued, and have the honor
to remain, verv respectfully und sin
cerely, vonrs,'
Francis Wayland,
Dean of Law Faculty.
This mark of confidence and esteem
from his alma mater is a compliment
of which the Governor may well lie
proud, and every citizen of his adopt
ed State may share in that honorable
pride; nor will itself, mother to hun
dreds of noble reputations, and the
source from which have sprung hun
dreds of honored public men, fail to
place our Governor among the first
of those of whom she boasts. Mr,
Chamberlain entered Yale College in
1858, and graduated in 1882. He then
entered Harvard Law School, and
graduated the following year. At
Yale ho graduated as class orator,
and DeForrest prizeman. This hon
or is conferred upon that member of
the senior class “who shall write und
pronounce an English oration in the
best manner,” ami it is the chief lite
rary and oratorical pride of the
course. At Harvard he stood first in
all the studies, and was selected by
Prof, parsons to ussist him in prepar
ing tho lust volume of his work on
“Contracts.” To bo thus selected to
: ! deliver the oration before tho Law
i j School of Yale is a high honor, which
j has recently been accorded to Hon.
i Win. M. Evarts, Hon. Jos. Choate,
I Hon. 11. I). Harrison, and last year
by Hon. Edwards Pierrepont.
1 Whatever may be his faults, he is
certainly a talented, accomplished
scholar. His errors, if any, are of tho
heart, not of the head. May his ad
ministration result in the restoration
■ to power of the culture and intelli
gence that used to adorn that proud
est of comroonwoaltlis—South Caro
lina.
From tlm New I'H'il Httu.
Mr. Beecher a Uellwtoua Unlilr.
The Brooklyn Etyjle says that “no
inun of equal gonitis und celebrity
with Mr. Beecher was ever required
to defend himself against so gross a
charge” as that of adultery. Such an
expression limy be pardonable in a
paper which has a local pride in the
famous preacher, but it is none the
less untrue. Mr. Beecher's sister,
I Mrs. Harriet Ik her Stowe, accused
Byron, who certainly far eclipsed the
1 Plymouth pastor both in genius and
celebrity, of u crime far more odious
] than adultery; und if he did not de
fend liimsclf against a charge so
I gross, it was because he was dead,
and could not do it. Moreover, Mr.
1 B. F. Tracy, in his conspiracy essay,
j cited St. Athanasius, St. Francis de
Sales, Fcnelon, the judicious Hooker,
and John Wesley, as instances of il
lustrious divines whose career hud
been darkened by charges of impuri
ty of life. In none of these cases was
one to be found (but was parallel with
that of Mr. Beecher; but taking Mr.
Tracy at his word, surely Mr. Beech
er does not stand on an eminence at
all to be compared with either of
these foremost characters in church
history. They were all original men,
who exercised a direct and positive
influence on the faith and practice of
their times, and left to the church a
legacy of doctrine from which have
sprung great parties and sects of
tne Christian world. They wore not
merely preachers, they were creative
men also, who helped to build up the
body of ideas which makes Christian
doctrine what it is to-day. But what
positive doctrine lias Mr. Beecher
preached, what new departure in the
Christian faith has lie taken? His
leading characteristic has been his
absence of theological fixity and of
consistency in doctrinal teaching.
At one time, several years ago, Mr.
Beecher published a card calling on
anybody who had letters of his, or
anything against his character, to
forthwitli publish them to the world.
It was a hold challenge, and if Mr.
Beecher had persisted in such a
course, if he he an innocent man, his
character to-day would have stood
higher than it ever did, and his ene
mies would have bad no opportunity
to bring the present suit, to tho dis
gust of the public and the serious
damage of his standing as a Christian
minister. Mr. Moulton says that that
card was published with the under
standing, of course, that the seriously
compromising letters in his posses
sion would not be evoked by it; and
as it is in testimony that they both
consulted with tho editor of the
Brooklyn Eagle, and the letters were
not given to the public at that time,
it seems that it was not intended that
they should be published. The card
was, therefore, realty a fraud on the
public, instead of the bold challenge
of an innocent and calumniated man
which it appeared to be. This sort
of t hing Mr. Beecher could not afford
to do then, and if lie practices such
reserve now, ho is damned beyond
the possibility of salvation.

You came to me unsought and

| Dover, Dei.., March 27. The Lagis
; lature hasadjourned. The bill passed
I several days ago to meet the civil
rights bill Is a law. ft does not men
tion color but provides that hotel
I keepers, railroad companies, steam -
[ boat owners and others, may provide
separate accommodation for an y class
I or persons obnoxious to their eustom
i ers or passengers.
A Washington dispatch of Saturday
says: Several prominent lawyers at
i the United States Supreme Court to
i day reviewed various decisions that
have been made by the United States
| Judges and United States Commis
sioners upon the new Civil Rights
bill. Their unanimous judgment
was that with the exception of the
jury clause, if the decisions already
j rendered should be sustained on ap
peal, there is nothing left in the hill.
The jury clause, pending the debate
in Congress, was conceded to be in a
legal sense the weakest feature in the
bill. The decisions thus far rendered
declare that the law cannot affect the
rights of the States to control inns,
theatres, common carriers, billiard
halls, eating saloons, and barber
shops.
A Washington speeial, double-1
leaded, dispatch to the New York
Poet of the 31st ult., (not the Ist inst.i
makes this important announcement:
“Colored society is deeply interested
in an aristocratic wedding to take
place at an early day. The maid of
Mrs. Jones, the wife ofSenator Jones,
is to be led to tho altar by General
Butler’s cook. Great preparations
are making for tlie happy event, and
it is rumored that the mansion of
Senator Jones will in- thrown open in
order that the favored pair may hold
a reception.
The Meridian Mercury makes the
following good suggestion:
Since the Pulman Sleeping Car
Company has ordered their conduc
tors to sleep all negroes who apply
for berths, it follows, or should fol
low as a matter of course, that all
real white managers of Southern rail
roads will Immediately discontinue all
arrangements for running the sleeic
ers. The public demand that tiioy do
it.
Civn. Riouts in. Stafford, Va. - -The
