The Mutual Triend*s Character .
from tin: New York World, til Saturday.
If we arc to believe what Mr. Moul
ton uaac it a of hiinaelf, lie lia a dovoted
himself, with the assistance of his :
wife, fora number of years past, to
concealing from the public of Brooklyn
and from I lie people of Mr. Heechera's
own church and congregation his
knowledge not only of Mr. Beecher's
criminal intimacy with Mrs. Tilton,
but of a scries of the most henious of
fences against decency and humanity
perpetrated by Mr. Beecher. In the
pursuit of this object, if we are to be
lieve him, ho lias not only exhibited,
both in public and in private, the
warmest altection and admiration for
a most loathsome hypocrite and repro
bate, but be bus also persuaded his own
wife, equally, cognizant with himself
of the revolting truth, to combine wilh
him in lavishing affection and udiuiru
tion, sympathy and the gracious ten
dernesses of sooiul intercourse
OWU
upon
this loathsome hypocrite and reprobate.
Ami he Informs us that he would
have censed thus to act, or to lead his
on u wife thus to act, had it not become
necessary for him to defend himself
against a charge of blackmailing Mr.
Beecher vicariously in beinlf of a hus
band whom he believed Mr. Becc icr
to have dishonored ! All this is not
told us of Mr. Moulton by Mr. Beecher,
nor by Mr. Beecher's lawyers, nor by
Mr Beecher's admirers nud friends.
It is told us of Mr. Moulton by Mr.
Moulton himself, with the most cynical
unconsciousness of the hideous light
in which he is putting himself by the
revelation. It is a kind of insult to
human nature to believe what Mr.
Moulton tells us of himself and of his
own wife until belief shall have been
forced upon us by other testimony, it
would be an outrago upon common
sense to believe what a man who
tell us this about himself and about
bis own wife tells us about any other
human being whatever, until belief
shall have been feed upon 119 byo'hcr
testimony.— AY orld.

llody Lifting with Few Fingers.
Body lifting is a big thing,
practice it in Reading. The young
»copie collect together incompanies and
lift each other by the tip ends of the in
dex lingcre. The subject to bo lifted
lies down upon the carpet,face upward.
He is instructed to assume a stiff or
rigid state, approaching the eondltion
of a stick of wood as much as possible.
The lifters six in number, stand there
on each side. Thon at a signal, the
snapping of a finger by the leader, the
lifters and subject inhale the atmos
phere, tilling their lungs to their utmost
capacity. When this is done tho lifters
stoop and try to lift the subject. If
they fail, they again assume an erect
altitude, and again inhale; and then
try again, and thus repeat the operation
till at last, generally the aecoud, third,
or fourth trial, up goes the subject like
a feather, being frequently borne to the
ceiling on the tip of the fingers of the
lifters. They claim the heaviest per
sons lift as easily as the lightest. Sub
jects weighing 200 pounds have been
Mills lifted by four persona. Some de
clare that tho operat ion produces an ex
Iiilcrnting sensation; others that it
caused depression.
The writer of this article was thus
lifted; and experienced no unusual sen
sation more than he went up without
any apparent physical effort on the part
of thnac that lifted him. It is said that
if one of tiie actors laughs or docs any
thing toeame him or otlicrsto exhale
while the subject is going up,the latter
will immediately coiue down unless lie
is caught by main strength. The cause
of all this the operators claims to kaow
nothing about.—H badino Eauj-b.

the intente admiration of all beholders
Senator Brownlgw, ofj Teunessce,
well known as a mnat ageessive repub
lican, lias published another argument
in the shape of an open letter in earn
est opposition to the civil lights hill —
The tone of the letter iu exceedingly
temperate, sod its argument are conclu
sive as to the danger incident to a com
pulsory fusion of the white and color
ed schools in the South which would
result from the passage of the bill. The
Senator says that tho recent county
elections in Tennessee were contested
with exceeding bitterness on this very
question and that the republican party
simply because of its advocacy of tho
bill, wusdcfcatcd by fifty tosixty thou
sand majority. This fact proves in
contestibly that as far as that State is
concerned the
color,aro awake
people, irrespective of
to the importance of not
putting iu jeopardy the prevent educa
tional .system merely to satisfy the fan
ciful theories of a fanatical few.
The Republican Tapers and the
Democratic Candidates.
Under the abovo head the editor of
the Middletown Transcript, who, in the
early part of the campaign, suggested
the name of Mr. Cochran for Governor,
and who knows him personally
neighbor, defends him from the criti
cisms of the Republican pafirs as fol
lows :
os a
Nearly, if not all, tho Republican pa
pers are using great efforts and much mk
in endeavoring to educate their readers
io the belief that the Democratic candi
date for Governor is not properly quali
fied for that office. So far they have suc
ceeded only in establishing, beyond ques
tion, their own ignorance of the man,
and their poetical prejudices against the
PRriy which has chosen him as its lead
er. Were tho editors of those papers to
take as much trouble to tell what their
own candidate is, as they take to tell
what the Democratic candidate is not,
they would bo apt to accomplish, fully
as well a9 by the course they now pursue,
the object they seek—to draw off votes
from Mr. Cochran and givo them to Dr.
Jump. They "mean no attack upon
Messrs. Cochran and Williams and would
not disparage them in the least degree in
the eyes of the people," but they would
have us beliovo that thev are an igno
rant, illiterate pair of clod hoppers who
have not three ideas above an oyster
about the laws and constitution or our
State, or the science of its government.
Their aim, evidently, is to persuade the
people into believing that the Democrat
ic candidates are not so well qualified for
the offices, as the Republican aspirants
are. Why then, do they not tell the peo
ple what Dr. Isaac Jump's great qualifi
cations are, that lit him so eminently for
the position of Governor of Delaware ?—
We know that Dr. Jump has been a tol
erably successful country physician, but
there are scores of equally as good ones,
and many better all over the State, hence
we do not presume his supposed ability
for Governor emanates from that sources.
He ha i mingled to a considerable extent
local politics and has been in the Leg
islature, but we are not awaroof his hav
f f displayed a vast amount of superior
ent while there.
What, then are his qualifications for
the Gubernatorial office that make him
such a superior cand'date ? If the Re
publican papers know as much about
him as they profess to know about Mr.
Cochran we would like to have them
make him known a little better to the
people.
in
As for their other candierte, Mr. Lof
land, they need give themselves no trou
ble to tell what he is. His public course
as a member of Congress during the past
session is to well known too make it ne
cessary. He has been tried and Heaven
knows we have hod enough of him. For
an advocate of Mr. Lofland to attempt to
derogate Mr. Williams for his inability to
make speeches is simply ridiculous. Dur
ing a period of eighteen months as a
member of the National House of Repre
sentatives Mr. Loflland was never known
to make but one attempt at a speech, and
that did not possess one tithe of the abil
ity which characterizes nine-tenths of
the graduating orations delivered at our
colleges by beardless school boys.
From our knowledge of the man, ac
quired by an intimate personal acquaint,
nnce of many years we leel justified in say
ing that John P. Cochrau wU make, if
electod, one of the most efficient Executive
officers that Delaware has had for
many
years. We earnestly desired his nunins
tlon because wo looked upon him as a gen
tlemnn well qiisllUed for the position of
chief Executive, sml we, iu commo-i with
all Delawareans, greatly desire that the
who shall bo Governor ot our State in IH7S
shall he a gentleman who will do
as our representative at the great ualionrl
celebration to be held In tho City of Phila
delphia that year. Such we believe Mr,
Cochran to he.
honor
Mr. Williams we do not know peraouaily,
but he is everywhere spoken of, by those
who know him best, in the highest terms,
•nd lie posHvesf i a reputation for honesty
and practical sense thiuoaunot bo gainaayed
by even tbe bitterest of tua opponents, and
of one thing our readeis can be assured,
Mr. Williams wi'l never disgrace the State
of Delnwaro by casting his vote in tbe
Natioup* Congress iu favor of these dis
gusting partisan poli' leal measures called
Civil Rights Bills, which have for years been
outraging Be feelings ot all honest m»n.

Tarty Secrets.
[Prow the Sussex Jodmil.\
ÿ"? 1 » a paper that aeoms
to know little of its own party secrets,
assumes to know a great deal or those of
the Democracy. In its last issue it tells
the world the startling fact that Ex-Gov.
Sauls bury and Senator Bayard secured
the nomination of Mr. Cochran, and that
Chancellor Salisbury and Gov. Ponder,
who were Hall men, were defeated, Ac
Now a very i large part of what the New*
knows is false, ana the other is exagger
ated by the fertile brain of the junior
editor of that paper for political effect.
Chancellor Saulsbury has been exceed,
ingly reticent in regard to the candi
dates, and while ho had doubtless his
preterenco, he certainly made little ef
fort to enforce his views, for some of his
strong friends differed with him. Gov.
Ponder believed that Mr. Hall was the
strongest candidate, but it is known in
Democratic circles that he gavo himself
no trouble to secure delegates from this
county. Ex-Gov. Saulsbury
of Dr. Cahal, and opposed
primaries, but was beaten. Here his
powor ended. New Castle delegates, af
ter a severe contest, coventrated forty
nine votes on Cochran, and as Sussex
had always conceded the nomination to
-New Castle, many of her delegates, in
cluding several strong "Hall men," and
a few delegates from Kent, voted for Mr.
Cochran on the first ballot, and ho re
ceived a majority. Ex-Gov. Saulsbury
ave had un influence in determin
mg the action of the anti-Hall men in
iient, but it is simply ridiculous to
J 11 ** 1 with influencing Sussex men
who did what tl ey were elected to do, or
New Castle delegates whose constituents
were demanding a New Castle candidate
at the hands of the Convention. The
creations of the News are purely imagi
nary, and intended to embitter the"HaJl'.j
men against the ticket. The News had
better devote some of its time and talents
m uniting its own party and curing sore
heads, for the effort to divide the Democ
racy this time is vain. The issues are too
serious this fall, the white men of Dela
ware cannot afford to run the risk of
negro and Ring rule. As to the nomina
tion of Mr. Williams, that is easily
plained. Sussex did not ask the
tion, New Castle did not want it, and
Kent presented tho name of a man to
whom no true Democrat could object ; a
farmer, a man of brains, culture and
undoubted honor and character, and
while he does not claim to be an orator,
his competitor, if he were half as mod
est, would hong his head in shame to
read the fulsome and disgusting flattery
by partisan newspapers, whoso editors
know that they write not what they
think and know, but writ? solely for
policy.
