Two women nnd one man in Wash

Beecher-Tllton scandal, und ure now
Inmates of a lunatic asylum.
Gkn. Albert Pike has recovered
from Mexico $50,000 in gold for the
families of Generals Parsons ami
Staudlsh. These Generals were cx-
Confederatcs in the sorvloeof Mexico,
and fell by the hands of guerrllas.
Tun Columbia, Tennessee, Herald
says that General Marcus J. Wright,
who has been appointed by the Khe
dive of Egypt, Adjutant General of
his army, is in that city. General \\.
is considering the acceptance of the
appointment. The salary is *6,(ion a
year.
London and Berlin seem to have
fallen under a strange religious influ
ence. Crowded revival meetings are
held every day, and at one of them,
where Mr. Moody preached, there
was great enthusiasm. Mr. Smith
seems to be doing good work in Ber
lin. It is odd that tho conversion of j
London should be the inspiration of
an American clergyman.
South Carolina has, for years, been
the subject of u system of robbery
and profligacy which lias cost the ]
people millions upon millions, aad
which the honest and self-respecting J
minority wore powerless to arrest or
avert. Gov. Chamberlain is making
splendid efforts to retrieve the losses
Inflicted on Mouth Carolina by those
miscreants, Scott, Mooes, ami their
followers.
New Orleans is moving to estab
lish direct railway connection with
Texas, and thus revive her commerce,
as will bo seen from the following
clipped from the IJulletin: “An net
will be introduced into the Legisla
ture, at tho extra session, to incor
porate tho Louisiana Pacific Railway
Company, tho object of which is to
push forward speedily a road from
New Orleans to Shreveport, through
the richest portion of the State, which ;
will place us within twenty-four
hours of Balias, Texas, and tap tho
Great Northern, the International
and the Texas Pacific roads."
The New York j fSxprem says tho
recent French war cost, in ten
months, $1,857,77(5,400, or two-thirds
of the United States debt. Specie
payments were suspended. Novem
ber 13, 1873, the paper circulation of
tile Bank of France was $602,000,000,
or '34 per cent. December loth the
circulation was $509,500,000, and tho
currency reserve $2(54,000,000, or more j
ttiau 52 per cent., and the country in
a safo condition to resume specie
payments, while, with ten years ef
peace, the United States are nearly
as deep In financial difficulties as in
1865.
The advocates of tho Civil Bights
bill maintained that it was designed
to secure a certain class of the people
in the rights of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. They rarely
presumed to discuss it as a measure
which might only benefit one class
at the expense of another. But this
is exactly the point of view from which
the English papers look at the whole
subject. Tho Fall Mall dinette S ays
the-bill is really an abridgement of
liberty; and, to give a correct con
ception of its practical oimration, im
agines the passage of an act, of Par
liament which should secure to the
castor-mongers of Covent Garden tho
right to occupy stalls in tho adjoin
ing opera house in their shirtsleeves.
It adds that “neither in the career of
Prince Bismarck nor in all the an
nals of tyranny is there a passage to
be compared to the enactment’’ of
this bill,
i'tt-npe ration.
The rise in wheat, will give $5,000,-
000 more into the hands of the mid
dlemen. Like tin* Southern cotton
planter, tho Western farmer is forced
to surrender his crop as soon as
made, thus surely enriching the non
producer and speculative middlemen.
If the Grangers wore out of debt
they could accomplish n groat deal.
Until they get out of debt and have
surplus capital they can accomplish
nothing. Co-operative associations
have been very successful in Eng
land. The annual congress of the
co-operative societies of England,
which recently met at Liverpool, in
its published report, gives the mem
bership of the various organizations
scattered throughout the Kingdom
at 400,Otxi. They control over sixty
mills, with a capital of $18,000,000,
besides operating an immense num
ber of stores, markets, &c. It is es
timated that the profits resulting to
those Interested in the combination
amounted last year to over $7,000,-
000. In Philadelphia, through the
building associations, $150,000,000 of
wages have la-cn transformed into
capital, and four-fifths of the me
chanics arc real estate owners. In
Hanover agricultural associations
form agricultural laws. In one year
(1863) they transformed tho mode of
cultivation of 771 farms situated in
303 communes. If the “Grange”
organization can remain intact until
tho Grangers got out of debt, old
prosperity will return, and bankers
will be glad to got deposits from
planters, Jind merchants to bofrow
from them
HEX ICO.
It Is by no moans certain that our
present peaceful relations with Mex
ico will be continued indefinitely.
The English Government sent Sir
Garnet Wolsey to Africa to protect a
British subject, nnd no country in
Christendom dare oppress a Briton.
Had the Presbyterian Mission estab
lished ut Acapulco, Mexico, been un
der British auspices, tho massacre of
the congregation in January last by
Infuriated fanatics, inspired by the
Catholic priest, would have been
avenged or investigated ere now. An
American clergyman has been ban
ished from Mexico, his congregation
butchered, and nothing bus been
done by tho Mexican Government to
punish the murderers. Were Mr.
Hutchinson, tho minister, a South
erner, we should not hoi*' for the
protection of Grant’s Government;
hut Mr. Hutchinson is a Northern
man -lienee we look for action. The
ease demands severe investigation;
yet we should form no hasty judg
ment. The Mexican people arc but
little understood by our people. They
murdered the grandly good noble
man, Maximilian, it is true; but who
knows what were the leading causes
of this crime against civil
ization V We have good reason for
believing that Bazaine and his ready
tools turned popular hatred against
Maximilian ; yet there are no official
documents to prove this. It is related J
that a y oung man, of the noblest
Mexican class the Castillanos was j
arrested as a conspirator. He was
condemned to be executed three days !
after he was sentenced. When the.
Emperor Maximilian entered his;
office, in the City of Mexico, the next j
day, a deputation of leading citizens,
headed by the Alcazar, petitioned in
ids behalf. The Emperor, ever prone \
to leniency, agreed to give them a
reply early the next day--and it was j
generally understood that a pardon
would be granted. Two days were
to intervene before tho condemned
youth was to be executed. Bazaine,
without orders from tho Emperor,
had the young nobleman executed
that night. Ambition was supposed ;
to be his motive, as a regiment under j
his orders were allowed to plunder '
ami pillage tho people indiscrimi
nately, that opposition to the Empire
should ensue. The Emperor deeply
regretted the execution of the young
man. The populace, including his
strongest adherents, deserted him
and cursed him forßazaine’s cruelty.
May not some such treachery or per
secution have caused the massacre at
Acapulco ? Let u searching investi
gation be had before action is decided j
upon.
As there is some possibility of a
war between the United States and
Mexico, wo give below some facts
connected with that interesting
country:
The area of Mexico is 773,144 square
miles. The population in 186!) was
9,089,254. Tlte length of the republic
is 2,000 miles; its breadth 1,100 miles,
There is 1,600 miles of const on the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
Sea, and extending upwards of 4,2(ki
miles on tho Pacific Ocean and tile
Gulf of California. The climate de
pends less upon latitude than upon
altitude. In the cold regions ( tierras
frias) on the hills are trees that never
lose their foliage; in the hot eoun-!
tries (derma ealie.ntes) are groves of
mimosas, palms nnd other gigantic
tropical plants; in the temperate re
gions (tierras tetnpladas) are the enor
mous haciendas, and in these regions
are found all the great centres of
population. Cotton, in the hot coun
tries, is a perennial plant, and there
being no frost, it propagates itself,
and tho laborers are only required to
keep the fields free of useless vegeta
tion. Yet there are only 25,000 bales
of cotton, of 400 pounds each, grown
in Mexico. .1 large quantity <>/' < niton
in the raw state is annually imjxarteil.
Tho number of landed estates is 13,-
(XX), valued at s72o,(xx),oixi ; and town
! property is valued at $635,000,9m
making the total value of real estate
1 $1,855,000, (XX), or an average .-f $ 1 •_! 5o
| per head. As to education, there i
j one pupil to every 32.78 of the popu
! Bit ion. The public debt amounted,
iin 1869, to $317,357,250. The mining
and coinage of the precious metals i
the etiief industry. In 1805, $27,000,-
o(>n were coined. In 1856 ’57, the
amount of coin in circulation in Mex
ico exceeded $100,000,000. The legal
exportation of specie iu 1856 amount
ed to $16,479,013. The commerce with
England amounts to more than half
the foreign trade. English rails and
English ears on the railroads. There
are 2, (XX) miles of telegraph and 240
of railroad in operation. Petroleum
abounds. Manufacturers are increas
ing in wealth. There are twenty
throe States, one Federal District,
and one Territory. Its snow-clad
peaks and fertile valleys are not sur
passed even by those of Switzerland.
The City of Mexico is situated in the
Plain of Tenoohtitlan, at an elevation
of 4,000 feet above the sea. Popocat
epetl, with the Peaks of.lztaeeihuati,
united by a chain of smaller volca
noes, forms a volcanic arch around
Mexico and its lake. No one who
has ever seen this landscape can ever
forgot it.

Buena Vista, April 20,1875.
For a long tlmo this place has been
shut off from Columbus and her peo
ple, but now there are good mail fa
| (dllties nnd the people of Buena Vista
! and tlie lower part of Marion will
hasten to renew their business and
j Hoeial acquaintance with Columbus,
j if any inducement is presented.
■ Buena Vista looks pretty much as
' we expected to find it, and during
j court presents n lively appearance.
1 When we arrived court was not in
session, but in a short while Judge
Johnson put in liis appeurnnee, and
soon tlie court was organized for i
business. Among the lawyers pres- j
ent were the local bar,Gen. Phil Cook
mid Col. Guerry from Americas, Col. I
M. 11. Blnndford, Solicitor General
Little, Col. Ingram and Cary J. j
Thornton, Esq., from Columbus, und j
Col. Bussey from Chattahoochee.
The session promises to bo uninter
esting und very short. Litigation
seems to be at a stand-still in this
county, which argues well for tlie
peace and harmony of the people,
but is not at all refreshing to tlie
lawyers. While on the subject,, we
will mention the new court that has j
been provided for this county by the j
; last Legislature, it is it court similar
jto Muscogee County Court, and is
I called the Marion Couuty Court.
Gov. Smith lias made an excellent
I and well merited appointment In the j
j selection of Col. W. Butt as Judge.
He is a good lawyer, arid hisappoint- j
meat has met the approval of all
classes of tho citizens of the county.
Mr. Carr, a rising and popular young
lawyer, has received the appointment
| of solicitor to that court.
List week Buena Vista caught the
[ contagious B, anil tho people in and
! around town turned out en masse to
hear a spoiling match between Col.
Edgar Butts’ and Judge W. B. Butts’
classes of selected spellers. The
words were hard and the contest
warm, Both leaders fell by the way
side, but, Col. Edgar Butts’class came
off victorious, after n hard fought
battle.
We talked with many of the farm
ers of Marion, and learned from them
that their crops were in good condi
tion, and far advanced. Marion
county is out of debt, with money in
her treasury. Her people are thrifty
and good farmers. We doubt if there
is a county in tho State in which
there were fewer crop liens recorded
against the farmers than iu this
county. Tlie roads are in good con
dition, and ns far as the eye could
reach, corn was planted and growing
finely. Cotton is a secondary consid
eration with them, and from all ap
pearances they are preparing to live
at home. They have fat hogs and
cattle, sugar cane and rice patches,
good gardens and a large area planted
in oats, wheat and rye. The mer
chants of Columbus would do well to
solicit and seek this trade. Macon is
making great strides towards con
trolling it, and already a majority of
tlie people about Buena Vista seek
the Macon market, With a little
effort the trade might be again turned
to Columbus, for the people naturally
like Columbus and tier people. In
another letter we will try and give an
idea of the diversified crops of Marion
and the different industries the
pie are encouraging,
In haste, W.

Geneva, 4 v., April 20, 1875.
Editors: Since the first day-spring
| oil high the world has been vexed
with certain problems, which, des
-1 pite its best efforts, it ever terminates
; in apology for its iusipienoe by the
| mot hearty resolves that they are
j insolvable; and I fear me, that tlie
i present attempt to determine the
| true status of the several parties par
ticipant in the Plymouth Church
■ scandal will not fail of a like misenr
| riage.
When we consider at olio and the
same time such factors as tlie poetic
insolence, educated idiotcy and out
! raged cupidity of Theodore; the re
-1 tieent and fitful inwardness of Eliza
beth ; the unkempt integrity of plueky
but spurious Bessie; the fond terms
of endearment blurted by Mother
Morse upon her surreptitious son;
and these all, in haughty and wanton
association with the Great High
Priest of Puritanism, we have fallen
upon a problem in integral calculus
with far more variabl. - than can lie
formulated within the present limits
of transcendentalism.
The parties themselves have ex
plained. without making anything
| clear; Lady Woodhull. who is noth
j mg, if not a eonnoismir in shame, has
plied her practical hand only to in
crease our doubts; the firm of Moul
ton and wife have sworn a great oath
J and are met with ready rebuttal; and
lastly, a Brooklyn court, by authori
ty, issues a bric-a'brac edition, which
| only increases the confusion. Not
I yet is tiie world a steward of the mys
| tery. As to the crime of which Mr.
Beecher stands accused we neither
I affirm his guilt nor assert his inno
cence; nor do we confess to a bias
j that would scoff at the one or palliate
| the other, but we insist that as he
I greatly differs from other men, so he
should be differently adjudged. De
scended from a line illustrious in the
priesthood; himself one of six broth
ers, each and all of whom are bish
ops, wo easily discover cause and
every attendant circumstance to com
pel in him morality, and even piety
that might come of spontaniety.
With his natural propensity for good,
quickened into activity by the adop
| tiou of his profession, and his miuis
| try hallowed with renown for hitn
| self and power for his church without
example on our continent, we easily
j conceive that he was as naturally and
| surely born into the moral vineyard
jag in tho pious State of Connecticut,
I Then wherefore and whyfore does lie
! stand forth accused of a moral ob-
I liquity so shameful in aspect, that he
j should gladly cremate his splendid
reputation and eagerly betake him
i self for refugo to the innermost ro
! cess of obscurity? Guilty or inno
cent, how was it when society showed
him its favorites in their best phase,
that he otiose for his Intimates such
as had been publicly condemned, und
be must now aver have most solemn
ly foresworn themselves?
Can one of the brightest intellects
and most ixjpuliir divines of our times
be so distraught for acquittal from
the gravest charge that could afflict
him, that he can only plead witli poor
Tray that he hns been caught with
bad company? Had flattery so pos
sessed him, that he permitted the bare
statement of a knave to thoroughly
dement him with the idea that the
comeliness of three-score—on pastor
al errands only had estranged the
affections of a wife of thirty-five, and
caused him drivellingly to pursue Til
ton with explanations; Moulton witli
beseeching*, nnd Woodhull, of bless
ed memory, with conciliations? If, of
such base mental greatness lie made,
in the name of all that is sacred, let
us moderate our ambitions; if mar
tyrdom, for conscience sake, can fur
nish no better exemplar of Puritan
Christianity, in the name of nil that
is holy, let us no longer waste our
selves witli regrets that we cannot
trace our ancestry to tho persecuted
of the Mayflower.
After so much bad "action,” others
than Demosthenes, would recommend
that lie now act well. We opine lie
has fearfully misconstrued the old
motto omnia luma bonis.
The contemplation, from a South
ern stand point, of a man filling a
court-room with scandal during the
week, and the church with religious
zeal on Sunday—alike the wolf and
the shepherd of the same flock is
so bewildering, that we can make but
a feeble attempt to elucidate it, un
less we conclude that we differ from
our Northern neighbors not less in
proprieties and religion than in cus
toms and conduct.
Perhaps the so-called Boceherism
is but Yankeeism relined, after all,
and wo can better preserve our inno
cence bv amusing ourselves with spell
ing bee’s than by taking an undue in
terest in Plymouth affairs. Xoloepis

Both these periods represent a state
of peats'and without any disturbing
elements, which added materially to
the regular charges or affected one
more than the other. They may lie
fairly considered almost parallel in
their necessities. Even if measured
by the growth of the country, which
has been as a pretext to extenuate
these huge expenditures, there is
nothing in that fact which can possi
j bly justify the disproportionate in
i crease.
A largo part, of the army has been
I stationed during these five years in
the Southern States to serve partizan
: demands only. Placed in defiance of
all precedent and propriety under
tlie orders of an unscrupulous Attur
i ney General, the troops of the United

North.
