An unusual number of women were present In
fe Hrvoklyn City Court room this moraine. Mr.
Kvarts returned to the consideration of the state

iii a reality, then, said Mr Evarts, it conflicted
rith the charge of adultery running through so
many years. Mr Kvarts then quoted Irom Mr.
Tilton's testimony as to what portion of his in
terview with Mr. Becclitr the statement written
It Mrs Tilton was productd. Counsel said this
showed that the paper was brought In as a clma I the family, be had fallen Into It through chas

led np to by the previous conversation.
The speaker then read Iteecber's account ol
the Fame interview, when Tilton charged blm
w.ih making overtures i bis wife and showed
him tbe paper Take the confessed answer, said
Mr hvarts of Mr. Ilecche- to the statement pre
sented by Tilton. when the former said "Ellza-

belli cannot have said this, and Tilton replied,
We' I go and see her for yourself. There wa
a'sc the fact that Beecher saw the woman to

was cent to her. It would ha e been bat a Tew
steps lor Tilton to hare accompanied lleeehsr
there. Here as an invitation irom .1 husband
to .1 paramour that was altogether incompatible,
rod would have been as intolerable to the para
mour as to the husband.

have passed to inform Moulton that Hcecher
was fcoiiig tbere. However, they both went to
Mr. Tilton s house together. The door was
opened by the housekeeper, Mis Ellen Denny
nLo told him Mrs Tilton was upstairs, where he
went and knocked, and the door was opened.
The nurse, Mr Mitchell, did not require to be
aked to leave the room, and knew that vhen a
clergyman cabled on a sick parishioner there was
bo occasion for any person's presence at the mln
istra Unsof the gospel they were not calculated
10 disturb or excite a patient, so when the nurse
) card the door close afterward she knew that
Jleecher had gone, and she then returned to the
rroin TVIrx. Tilton van nsleen Sh hail r
k.reted a wrong and repaired an Injury, and she
sluabered With an easy conscience. There was
on 1 j one witness to that interview, and that was
the pastor, so that the jury bad todetermiue what

the nurse remonstrated, and then went into I
the udy, where che says, she heard the hubald '
talking in anrv tones and tbe nife reillnz in .
tones ol entreaty Tilton cauie Into tbe study lor
pen and ink and returned to Mrs Tilton s room.
The nurse tesunes that fbe remained in the I
study about at, hour, and then went to Mrs Til- i
ton's room, where tbe found her In a weak and
ner us condition. Now. the jury would sec -bow
this diilered from lilton s lersiun ot the story,
who attributed Mrs. Tiiton's agitation to her
a if tt from needier. The nurse has testified to
linding Mrs. Tiliun calmly and quietly sleeping
aPer the tlclt made by Beecher. The Interview
with the wife had placed in Beecher'a hand tbe
paper containing tbe lalsit ol the statement
am the motives which led up to the making of
the charge Counsel here read the paper whleh
Tilton showed to lir Morrs as bis wile's explana
tion of the lact.
liithis she says thai undine thai the retraction
had placed her in a hostile attitude to her bus
liand she wrote tbe third letter. Counael pre
sumed tin iury now understood thai tbe hrsl
paper was exact cd from the wite tbe night I'tltou
xtid Moulioii were storming in bcr chamber on
the .1Mb. and (hey saw the same coercion produe
lutf an explanation of the retraction on the ?Jtb.
They had seen how lieecber had asked her
HOU I I It I Ol HO Tilts'"
not a gainst me. but 4leeauselt wasn't true:"
and then she tells him that there has not been
anyhlng of equivocal Import between tbem, or
tbat she thought it true, but wearied wilb Impor
tunity In sickness, and on assurance that this
compliance would put an end to all troubles be
tween her and her husband, and she gave it as a
pubmlsslie wwe.
When her attention Is drawn to one point she
Is absorbed in It- When she was pressed to give
the aicusatlon, in order to aid herhaband, she
gave It When Beecher -ays you have Injured
me she artves tbe retraction, and then when Til
ton says -'yon have put a weapon against me in
Heecber'siiands" when you state 1 forced tbe
accusation from yon, she answer that was not
ny purpose, and now I will give explanation
why 1 gave it to him. It was not to injure you
but to protect blm. and It Is to be used asagainst
any other accuser save only yourself. Sshe say
she gave Beecber the false defense, but only tint ,
ft was not te be nted to disarm herhojbindin ,
awse of hostilities between them. She would not ,

see lb wis one ql imiiruicr ifcuueca, uu
this solemn retraction and this solemn statement
In "The True Story," which Tlltonsaya he copied
from his wife' statement. Is not the accusation
that was made, why den't they prove ltt Why
don't they produce the original paper? Why de
stroy tbe evidence? Where is that paper,of which
there are two copies They say the retraction
was the paper they were interested la preserving.
Counsel next turned to the Interview of Beecber
and Moulton on the 31st December at the latter'
house. He said this Interview was had to retrieve
the ralsse tep taken by the wife' eonlession and
the confusion Mr. Tilton had been thrown into
by it.
Hut the final test bad then ended In the with
drawal of tbe wife's support to tbe falie charge,
but yet with no assurance that tbe name waxen
oninlon could not aaaln be molded to cruel uses
j under some pressure, and so Moulton went to
lieccucr a noueo lo set me icbracuuu uiu suu
ceeded, but not in getting It was It to be surren
dered to tbe control ot Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, but
as a safe deposit In his bands, and with a guar
antee that Ileecher should not use It against Til
ton, or 1 ilton could not use one without theother.
Moulton pressed lieecber lor this paper, urging
tbatl. was to preserve peace and restore happi
ness to a family, and promised It should be held
in bis keeping and ready for production when he
should want it. Accordingly the jury found that
the whole object or that interview was to retrace
this step jnd get out of
A FALSE rOSITIOS
Mr. Uowcn bad placed him in when he took the
btur to Bcccbcr.' Counsel then read the testl
moi y sivcu by Moulton in relation to the trlving
up of tbe retraction ol the charge. Monlton says
In assured liecclicr that if be gave up this paper
both the confession and retraction would be
burned or k pt as be ( Beecher) desired. Moulton
represents Beecber as saying, when giving up the
I tier of retraction, 'l rely on your desire I o save
me, and mat afterwards lieccner saia ne con-
! "Idcred b sexual relations with Mrs. Tilton a
,11,i1i inttimMi-nnrrnim of hit liwnfup
her. Moulton tbcu said to lieecber that he had
criminal count ctlon with Mrs. Tilton. and had
gune and got tbe lettxr or retraction from bcr,
and be did not know bow Beecher could do two
such things. Two such acts were too much for
Moulton sud the accumulated horrors were too
I much for him. lie was In the position of Lord
jmnareary. wncn ne saia tnat it wasoue 01 tnose
things "no fellow could hud out.1'
Moulton urged lieecber to surrender this
paper, and related to him tbe mischief that bad
been wrought In this family, and finally Beecher
gave up tbe letter, and Beecber thinks tbat If
be bad estranged this woman's affection from
her husband, and If It was true that the calam
ity was attributed toblm. which had fallen on
been charged to bim. Counsel then compared
the testimony at this point by Moulton with that
ol Iteecber's. and which Evarts said be thought
was more compatible with probabilities.
If tbere had been in the consciousness of
Beecber, Moulton or Tilton any idea of Triton
having power over Beecber any person could
see tbe anomaly of Moulton at that Interview,
arguing tbe friendliness on the part of Beecher
i to Tilton, so IbatTUton should not fear that
cccher 'neld a apon to pttrsuo him. The
UBOic object was to keep the friendliness In
! Beeebcr's heart.

Ford's opera house was crowded with an Intel
ligent audience last nlgbt, who were in attend
ance at tbe annual commencement of the law
department or tbe University or Georgetown. The
audience was composed principally of ladles.
Among the geetlemen present were prominent
members of the bar and ministers or the gospel.
Tbe Marino band was seated in the orchestra,
and tbe members with their scarlet coats, tbe
various colors or the ladles' dresses and the btl'
llant display el flowers, made the sight beautiful
In the extreme. Along the front of the stage
were arranged bouquets or flowers In rows. In tbe
greatest profusion, while on either side were
tables abundantly filled with choloe exotic.
The stage was occupied by the members of the
graduating class. Officers of the class A. G.

D. F. Brady and Wm. P. Pierce, of the alumni ol
tbe law department.
Tbe exercises were then conducted as follows'
March, "Hlgoletto," Verdi; overture, "Jolly Rob
bers," Suppe. Juage MacArthar, la tbe aDseneo
ol Hon. Benjamin 11. Brlstow, then arose and In
troduced the orator, who delivered the annual
address; whlcb was followed by "L Huguenot,"
from Meyerbeer.
F. J. SI. Daly, A. R, was Introduced, and de
livered the valedictory, as follows:
Tho Vcledictory.
He opened the address by comparing the bril
liant scene before him to a new Eden or delights,
wherein were blended the beautiful flowers of
tho field and tho sweet music of the zephyrs
fair Eves to smile on us, wise Adams to counsel
us. This Is no ordinary affair as far as we are
concerned. On the contrary 'tis one that forms
an epoch In oar lives, and long to be remembered.
Following tbe paths that custom has dictated to
a valedictorian he made some remarks regarding
the profession, and qaoted the following from
Hooker ns the grandest eulogy ever pronounced
on lau : "Uf law there can be no less acknowledged
tban that her seat Is In the bosom or God: ber
voice tbe harmnny or the world. All things In
heaven and earth do her homage tbe very least
as reeling her care; tho greatest as not exempt
from ber power. Both angels and men and crea
tures, ot what condition soever, though each In a
different sort and manner,' yet all with uoirorm
consent admiring her as the mother or their
peace and. joy." Law pervades all things In
nature and in art. In obeinici to a universal
law crystals are formed, their angles measured
with mathematical precision, and they are
grouped into combination or exquisite lustre
und beauty. Laws grand In their proportions
marshal the
SCJt, MOOX A5D STARS.
Laws or symmetry and beauty guides the painter's
biusb, the sculptor's chisel and tbe mechanic's
tools. A law so necessary and providential links
together all things In nature, directing them to
work rorman's subsistence. Our bread comes from
the grain confided to the earth; tbe rains rertlllze
it, evaporation produces the vapor that cause
rain. Evaporation supposes the action or tbe
heat and orthe sun, so we trace tbe chain back
till wo lose It In tbe mystic labyrinths or science
only to find Its origin by the aid or revelation In
the breast or the Eternal, it the laws or tbo
natural order are so worthy or our admiration
J and study, bow much more beautiful and grand
must tne laws 01 ine moral oraer oe laws wnicn
are Intended to make man live In harmony and
friendship with his fellow., to lead In tbe path or
right and justice a community or persons so diver
sified In taste, culture, occupations and Inclina
tions. The sole object ol the laws is justice, and
Irom tbe earliest times the administration or jus
tice has existed. The principles or international
arbitration, which some are trying to class
amongst tbe "Isms" of modern times, were widely
onderstood and applied by the Sovereign Pon
tius when, as leader ot the Christian world, they
exercised their prerogative as umpires amongst
nations. II. paid a tribute to tbe much-abused
middle ages as times In which the great founda
tions of
E:0L1SIIAXP MKniCSLIBIP.TY
took their origin. As the mere proclamation or
tt uth has eer been lound Insufficient there :is
needed sanction and enforcement, aiM from tbe
necessity thus arising sprang the system of
courts and attorneys In a word, the legal pro
fesslon. As the law may cover all
branches r knowledge, to be a good law
yer one should be a well-read man. He
then Illustrated tbe point by showing that some
orthe oldest men who ever honored the world
with their presence, devoted to the law their
goodly attention. The orator Demosthenes, the
philosopher Cicero, tbe emperor Justlman, and
so many learned men In our owa day, have chosen
the law as their profession. Tho law Is not so
bound up by rules or action as Is generally sup
iwsed. Common sense Is rapidly doing away
with what old fictions may nave claog to her
garments. On the contrary. It will ever be inev
austlble In Its resources ollerlng a wide field
lor the practitioner. Advancement In civiliza
tion and government will ever present to Its con
sideration questions and combinations entirely
new. Many hard saying! are uttered against the
profession', but In this it only shires a common
late with its sisters, from th. ministry downward.
Jokes are made upon lawyers, bat tney past and
are lest with the merriment they occasion. lie
related one In whlcb, by accldeat, a lawyer
cuocscs tne
DEVIL AS HIS IATROX IAIKT,
but turned tbe point by remarking tbat our deal
ings with Satan are anythlngbut complimentary
when In tke courts we contribute to give the
devil LI doe. He asked tbe audience not to at
tribute to the science or right Itself the Injuries
they may sailer at the bauds or tricksters In the
profession, bat to study Its beauties, assuring
them tbe more tbey do so the more will tbey love
and admire It. He thanked them for their pres
ence, and the ladles, In particular, for their beau-t-lful
floral offerings, and In return for th good
wishes so forcibly expressed, fished theui all
health and prosperity. Turning to President
Healy he thanked him ror the favors he had
shown tbe class, being folly sensible orthe honor
to receive a diploma trom old Georgetown, and
hoped tbat their future career might render
tbem worthy to be classed among Its Illustrious
alumni. Then to the faculty the class heart
ily thanked them for their labors in their beball;
for tbe gentlemanly manner In which they have
ever treated them; for tbe sound instruction they
took so much pains to Impart to them. Though
they had been told that their way Is hard and
laborious, still tbey hoped to prove that their
ncarti are r.01 laim nor tnetr leet weary in tne
desired paths. He then claimed a bright spn In
their memory for tbls, their
riUST LAW CLASS.
Addressing his classmates he said that tbe even
ing had brought them to the goal or their hopes,
and tbey could never more took forward to a
common rtage to be decorated with like
honors; tbat each, had now a separate haven or
his own to reach. Though the decree or
tbe faculty had severed the bond ot friend
ship that bad hitherto held them together as
collegians, still he hoped that the tie or a
common, profession may have their Influence,
and that socially tbclr mutual Intercourse might
long remain uninterrupted. He spoke or the
beauty or the profession, the Illustrious prece
dents, telling tbem that as It open its aim most
generously theymust perform the duty they owe
it to apply In all their virgin purity and force
those principle cr justice which are It very es
sence, reminding them tbat the lawyer is, in a
measure, tbe maker ol the law, when by bis
argument he assist to construe and apply them.
He warned them not to enter the profession
through lust tor gain. Tbls, tay an eminent
Jurist, shear a splendid profession or its beams-,
and reduces It down to a mere trade. Before en
tering it they sboald find la it something eon
genial, something which draws them tclt with
reverence and affection, and entering It tbey
should honor and revere it as. sacredly a the
prlett.deethe altar he has sworn to love and to
maintain. Subject to these conditions ther la no
profession which offers a wider or nobler field ror
LABOn OR 1STELLXCTPAL STRIVE.
No land In which higher honors await the worthy
than In our own. They must make themselves
worthy by perseverance. In spite of what eynto?
tay that they should indulge In dream ot (or.
tun. and or fame tbat though It Is now bat an
airy, nothing, still it might be changed Into a
grand reality. .There ntust be. a vision of th. ob
ject before they could hope to have th. object It
self. Perseverance Jas a twln-slster, opportunity,
and w. most be ever ready to stlze and as. this
when It makes Its appearance.
'Ther. Is a tide in the flairs rineo
Which, when Ukenat the flood, leads on to for
tune." He counseled them to add to their professional"
acquirement a lire of onnd morality, and then
the happiness or the future 1 teeure.
In conclusion, he hoped they might realize all
tbe profession expects or them, and that their
own dreams or success might be rally and amply
gratified, and tbat their future life might be
happy, prosperous and free from care. Bat most
firmly did he hope that after having pleaded
successfully many causes; examined and eross
ex'mlned many witnesses; argued learnedly be
fore learned judges; that when they tbemselrei
were arraigned for judgment before that august
tribunal Irom which there is no appeal, ther
might have many good deeds recorded; many
Christian witnesses to plead successfully ror
them.
Mr. Daly was frequently interrupted with ap
plause, and on its conclusion he was warmly con
gratulated and applauded.
The band next performed the trio, "Attlla,"
Veidl.

Th. band then played a polka, which was well
received by the audience, and Father !Healey de
livered the rollowlng address:
ADDRESS OP rATlIZK HEALEY.
"The scene this evening reminds me of a band
of young pioneers starting tor their homes in the
West- These pioneers areyoung menithey have
received words or wisdom, and they havo also re
ceived word or parting from the speaker, bid
ding them good cheer In their voyage of lite; each
have pledged eternal fidelity. Certificates have
beeD placed In their hands of good standing and
grod conduct. They should have God speed and
words or encouragement a they enter upon new
tcenct of life."
Tbe band then played a waltz, after which the
exercises closed, and the distribution or bouquets
to the graduates began. They were all hand
some, but tbe most noticeable was that presented
to Mr. Kane, It being a large anchor made
ol tbr choicest fiowerc
SIOUX INDIANS.
Their Farewell Talk They go Home To-Day',
The Indians hare at last concluded tbat It
would not be right or tare ror thea to sign the
agreement to relinquish their hunting privileges
In Nebraska without first consulting the wishes
or their people at home. They propose to go
home to-day and take the agreement with them.
ir these people unanimously favor tbe signing

drawn from tbe Treasury be Tore the 1st or July.
The several agents are endeavoring to secure
another audience with the Secretary to-day, so
that the delegations may have a last opportunity
to express themselves on the Black Hills subject.
As toon as It was understood that the delegations
would not sign the paper, bat were desirous or
going homeward, word was sent to the Interior
Department, and Commissioner Smith repaired to
the Tremont Houso and held an Interesting audi
ence with the cbleltains. Tbe rollowlng is a
verbatim report or the Interview :
Commls'ioner. I have learned from Dr. Daniels

tban you can. He sees tnat it Is not possible tor
him to hold all tbat country or tbe North Platte
In Nebraska, whlcffnone or you use, neither you
nor the white man, as neutral country between
the two. He sees tbat these white men who de
tire to go there are tke men who send Congress
men to Washington to make laws. He knows
that If you should desire and endeavor to keep
that line the country would be vacant forever.
He cannot do it Vecause the Congressmen would
pass laws taking it from you anyhow. He told
you that yesterday, when he said that the lauds
cannot be kept for mere sentiment. They must
be kept Tor use. You are asked to give ap that
which youwere told yesterday was of very little
use to you.
The buffalo tbat yoa can now get down on the
Republican fork are not worth going down after.
hen a man goes out to get something to eat,
and cannot find enough to last him back en his
return, then he bad better not go any more.
The other privilege which yoa are asked to sur
render It only tbe privilege of keeping a coun
try belonging to nobody, it does not belong to
yoa lor occupation at all. Yon are asked to sur
render your pau of that agreement not to bare
the country occupied, but there Is a certain part
or the country to which you hare no title what
ever, except this agreement that noDOdy shall
have It. that yoa need. That Is the part north of
the Niobrara river and between tbe Niobrara
and that line of stakes which vou have seen run.
' nlng through your village, and which troubled
I you to much; and that Is exactly what tbls
agreement gives to yon. You give this title,
' whlcb is or no value to you, to tne country be
tween the North Platte and the Niobrara river,
and In return ror It you get the rljtht to occupy
and live In tbls country north or tbe Niobrara
1 and south or tbe Nebraska line tbe very coun
tey tbat you arc living Innow and that you de
1 sire so much.
, 1 know ht you feel about Itthat tbat Nebraska
line was a mistake; tbat you did not understand
1 it so; nbether It was a mistake or not cannot be
helped now. 1 mean neither tho President nor
tho Secretary ha' the power to help It. It Is a
law of Congress tbat they cannot change. Hat
tbls agreement gives it back to you for your use
and occupation. You certainly will make agreat
mistake, tbe great mistake or your lle, If you do
not avail yourselves or the opportunity to get
yourselves such a homo as you need. I wish
that ycu could see that It is too Important to
have any risk about it, and that you are doing
what Is proper by signing this agreement that Is
belore you, but this I will not urge. Yoa are
grown men, and you ought to know by this time
what a responsibility It on you. I came down
hereto say UU to you. In order to tare another
council at the Department of the Interior. You
canactonthUvamong yourselves, and when you
get ready lor an answer, wewlll hear you there.
Spotted Tall. I wish to say a few words to you.
In tbe things yoa have said to me, your opinion
is not at all different from mine, and my mind
doe not ran contrary to anything yoa hare said.
You have made me very happy by one thing yoa
have said; you have said that the Nebraska line,
which 1 ruanlng through my village. Is to be re
moved. That I my country, and If it Is removed
I will be very glad. I have already said that 1
will receive this money for the purpose or giving
up the right to hunt buffalo, although It Is very
little. I told you tbat I would receive tbls money,
and tbat I wished to consider the matter, and
that I wished you to hold It here. I said this be
cause 1 wished to go back Immediately to my
people and Induce them to finish It up at once.
1 sar this, became If 1 sign a caper her. bv nr.
teir, people about me may dispute over It, and
there may be bloodshed over this little matter:
and If I take it home and sign tt before all the
people, the people will be glad. I wish you to
Ari'Oir-T TUREC XEX
and I will appoint three men to go out at once.
1 want this business to be attended to Immedi
ately; aad If they can get there as soon as we do,
so much the better.
Red ('load. This Is my opinion and I wish to
tell It to you. In regard to this monar for giving
up the right to rnmt.-J. have not said anything
against It. You see these young men about me
here. Tbey are good young men, but at home there
are a great many more of tbetame kind that sur
round me there. The reason I wish, to postpone
the declslcu as to what to take till I get home. Is
that I think my young men may wish to purchase
seme things tbat will not be consumed in a few
J cats, and may want totellme what things' when
get home. We have told yoa that we want
threecommlt ilonert to go home with us. I will ap
point two now. Todd Randall and Mr. Collins.
The third I will determine during tbe day, and
will tell you before night. Whatever commis
sioners are to go batk, 1 would like tu have tbem
In a hurry to go there.
Commissioner. I shall be able to keep your
money just twenty-teveu days more, if the pres
ents are not bougbt within that time then I will
hare no control over your money. So you can see
how Utile time you hare to go on tbls long Jour
ney end get your iople together and get word
back to me, and hare the purchases made. And
It teems to me that It will not do for you to have
this other matter about the commissioners mixed
up with this. The question at to who shall be
the commissioner Is decided, of course, by the
President, and you appoint your own commis
sioners to represent Ibe Indians. Yoa hive your
tide to represent, and or course you will have
yonr own men who will represent It ror your
selves; and he will have bis tide and will have
hit own men. Hut It It not Impossible for yoa to
name one man that you would like to hare him ap
point to represent him, and that he may consider
your withes, bat that must not be a man who
lives among yoa, because, otherwise, he would
represent you ana not the President. .Since you
have been here I have heard none of your own
men talk. Have tbey nothing to tay 7 They have
come a long distance.
Red Cloud. When 1 came here before and bad
councils the people who came with me also eoun
died with the Government. When we got home
that did not please the people there, so we have
decided to have Spotted Tall and myself talk.
We council all day and they say to us what they
want to, and then we report It to you.

To A JafuVrf the National Republican:
Sir: I cordially thank yea, for yoar con
sent to give me, though your columns, a hearing
regarding the matter which lies nearest my
heart, since It toncbes more deeply tban all
others the best Interests or humanity: and I will
endeavor to address myself to It pertinently and
as concisely a so important a topic will allow.
Sat you will tuner me, I hope. In this my open
ing letter, to approach my great tnrje:t,
THE "FAMILESTERE,"
through sundry preliminary comments.
Uf all the communities ot the land, that or
Washington, with Its high Intelligence and large
opportunities. Is the one which should take tbe
lead In political and social development: and
Irom all I can learn or It your city is, doubtless,
the centre of the traest democracy and the
rarest social culture which the empty-headed
and empty-hearted genius or civilization has per
mitted to tbe people of tho United States, who,
for a full century, have professed unalloyed de
votion to the principles ot the fathers, proclaimed
in the Declaration of independence. But I fre
quently hear or dissensions in your midst, and
which would shake my faith In humanity If tne
latter had ever been allowed unincumbered de
velopment; If "liberty," "democracy," justice"'
and ''right" had ever been much more than
empty words to the vast majority of my fIIor
cltlzens. I hear or hundreds or day laborers in
Washington rorced to band together to secure the
paltry wage or 41.V1 a day, and at last com
pelled to accept l or ilSi as a '-compromise," or
starve with their families; while their more wily
neighbors, many ot whom never did an honest
day's work In their lives, rejoice In luxury, or
FATSE-f AT THE PUBLIC CRIB.
I learn, too, or thousands or others, not simply
day-laborers, bat artisans, clerks, women oat or
employment, etc, who can barely manage to tap
port Hie year by year; .1 well as also or a class
ol canning cormorants, who vex yoar city as they
do others, and by various methods or more or less
legalized frauds, currently rob A. 11, C all the
Alphabet ot semi-livers ol a gv,iy fraction of
their little Incomes.
In shctt, I hear so much of Wc' -. t!
after all, lam disposed to think' that no-i.
civilization thrives there. In tbe main, than In
1 many outer portions 01 tnoiana. ana 1 amin
' cllncd to fear that Democracy and Republicanism,
as practiced in Washington, Tall as far short of
1 the realities which the men or hundred years
ago provisioned as they do In Boston, Mass.. wlttl
' her "sacred memories," or In Charleston, S. C,
wnere tne wages-tiavea 01 tne one city ana tne
lato chattel-slaves of the other bear the tear of
a social system which in all Its phases mocks the
genlas ol Christianity, and brands civilization as
a godless hand-maiden, or sister of barbarism,
Lut partially more refined than she.
But ldoliot complain or these things. Words
ot commiseration and tears or pity may be the
proper poetry, or mournful meter by which hu
manity straggles on at How paco
ALOtO THE FATII OF rttOORE3S,
oat or the night or civilization into the broad day
or coming enlightenment. Bat I am painfully
aware that they effect but ilttle or good, lave as
they temper the heart of man to benevolence;
ana that deeds, practical work, practical schemes
ot progress only are worthy of serious considera
tion. 1 hold that all attempts at "purifying" our
politics, ror example, are kilo so far as permanent
results are concerned, and must be so long as the
mala principles of our Government and oar eirie
codes and ttatutea are raise so long as the
ridiculous basilar prinaiple or Democracy, "the
right of the majority to rale," is unqualifiedly
accepted, aad labor practically has no rights
which capital Is bound to respect. It matters not,
perhaps, which political party Is In power, cor
ruption and "scolls" are amonr the cardinal Drln-
J clples or each, and as things now are, the qaad
' rennlal presidential election is the merest "toy
ing wun 1001s mc maszes.
What Interest, then, can those ot my readers,
who may be dependent upon daily lalr or small
salaries tor a iivtnr, nave in continuing to oe Dai-lot-box
tools rordemsgoguesf
, LET THEM ASFIRE TO SOUETHIXrl NODLCH.
The very effort will make new men of them, I
I trust, men who will close their eyes upon the
follies of past partisanship, and enter upon the
neiu 01 jus in Beusiuic socuii me. xtufc x aau
no thought when I took my pen or touching the
wretched subject or partisan politic.
It must be evident to every reflecting person
that there is a possible injustice in either oar
political or social laws when they whose labor
creates all the goods ol life enjoy bat a traction or
tbem, and they who produce not a dollar of
wealth revel in their millions. It mast cause the
philanthropic observer outside of Massachusetts,
lor Instance, to pause and Inquire "What are we
coming to " when he learns tnat In that vaunted
State eighty per cent, or ber whole wealth Is
owned by twenty per cent, or ber population, who
are not creators ot wealth, while eighty percent,
ot ber people, who are producers, are in such a
dependent condition that tbe twenty per cent, or
her wealtb, which they are said to "own," Is
mainly at the mercy st or controlled by bcr na
bob. But such Is the sad fact which her Labor
Bureau's Investigations hare brought to light,
and tbe waecs-slavcs or Massachusetts are bound
hand and toot- Their education, superior to that
or the old chattel slaves or the South, oaly serves
to make tbem more sensitive to their degrada
tion. RUT nOW CAX THEV HELF THEMSELVES?
It occurs to me, en pattant, that tbe former
Southern slaves matt hare now learned how
empty Is "freedom" without remunerative em
ploymentthe freedom to starve, or tell them
selves ir tbey can for dally food, or steal as an
alternative! Oh! Freedom! thou mysterious god
dess of tbe American fancy!
But I need not enlarge on this head. Nine
tenths or your readers. It Is safe to say, hare ex
pended more or lets thought upon the subject of
society's injustices, and the most hare given up
the eolutlon of the toelal problem in detpalr,
boreless.and looking for tome "change" they
I moow noi wnai-w come to tneir reuei. ine
most foolish seek it In political overturns, and
blindly trust to fate, only to And themselves year
after year in greater distress. The wiser know
I that the trouble lies deeper tban In mere na
tional government, but how to ret at and extir
pate It bat few understand. Perhaps reforsa
waits upon "the proceisottbosuns," but ft Is sure
that a valuable beginning can now be made; that
Washington Is as feasible a snot asanrin the
country to commence at- and that an experiment
In social science, tested ror hiteen years and bear
ing richest fruit, has added tho brightest chapter
to all tbe world's history and mints, in the "Fam
llstere" or
INDUSTRIAL OR SOCIAL rALACE
at Gnlse, France, to tbe tosalble realization by
the whole human race of nil the com Torts and lux
uries which they need, to tay.the least, and, as I
think, eventually, all that tho soul can compre
hend orjoy here upon this planet.
It Is or the 'Tamlllstere," as an exemplar, and
orthe easy possibility or establishing Its counter
part In Washington first, and finally multiplying
It all over the country, and or the methods by
which this It to be done, (at ttudled by me In last
summer' residence at the Famlllstere, so that 1
may speak largely or what I know from actual
observation;) alto, or the vast advantages,
physical. Intellectual, social, moral, (or, in
other words, pecuniary, which comprehends all
the rest, when rightly understood,) to tbe aetlve,
working resident of Washington, particularly
the clerks of the various departments, who only
half lire now, and whose condition Is. on the
wbole, not to be envied by the moderately "inde
pendent" farmer or these things is It that I wish
to talk in succeeding letters.
And 1 would Intimate now that In discussing
matters I shall keep In view the fact tbat even
our wealthiest citizens. In the present isolated
household tysttm.enjoyonlya tithe ot whatthe
"eminently social animal," man. Is competent to en
joy In a proper toelal system. So It is not only
the harassed laboring classes and the straggling
middle classes, bat the wealthiest as well, who
not only need, bat ought
TO HAVE, A BITTER SOCIAL WORLD.
II Is doubtless true that our very wealthiest-men.

US. HESTEE'S LECTEE.
Hi Advice to Southern Bepublleans In Ala
lama.
WASnil-CTOX, D. C, April r, 1ST.
JtmesA. Abrahams, ctq. LlelngtloiL, Alabama:
Dear Judoe: Belore I left your county In Jan
uary last you requested me to give you Informa
tion from time to time a to what would be the
probable action of the Government in reference
to the protection of Southern Republicans from
the outrages or Ku-KIax and similar organiza
tions. My letters heretofore led you to hops that
etacient measures would be taken to secure
THE EXECUTION OF THE LAW
against offenders. These letters were written
during the session of Congress, but since that
body has adjourned, without having done any
thing to-effee tt object desired, a general apa
thy teems to pervade all the Departments of the
Government, Y'ou need not expect any protec
tion from the Government against the Ku-KIux
persecutions down there, for it has not the ability
to give tt through the courts nor the authority
outside of them. Evidence, which the Ku-KIax
are expert In furnishing, with the aid of almost
the entire legal fraternity or the South,
who are ever ready to make common cause
against SepanUcacs and friends of the Govern
ment, renaer justice In tbe Federal courts as
powerless as in the State courts. In any section
where perjury is a pastime, and cruelty, persecu
tion and crime are delightful amusements, and
receive the sanction of the Church and the ap
proval of society, justice must neces-arlly become
a mockery. A large number of Kepubllcans of
tbo last Congress, stained with the results of
tbelr former corruption and fraads In Credit
Moblller and the like, along with a few coward?,
wtow-ro Intimidated by tbe last fall elections,
together wltb others who wanted to apologize for
their iormcr acts or loyalty t the Government,
were In the main responsible for the failure 01
the legislation necessary to enable the President
to give tbat protection to the poor, persecuted
Kepubllcans andt loyalists at the South, whleh
they to much need. No fair-minded man can
doubt tbat nearly every Southern State would be
Republican If every voter couldexpress his honest
convictions, free from the lear of persecution.
And It Is equally certain that scarce a State In
the South will be permitted to remain Republi
can. Yet 1 do not believe that the next national
election will be a Democratic victory, for 1 cannot
think that the Ku-KIux ot the South has pru
dence enough to keep Its
ULTIMATE YE505I0US DZSIGSS
hidden from the Northern mind, notwithstanding
the two adders from the mud banks orGeorgt
and Mississippi went up amon? the Natmeggers
or New Hampshire in sheep's clothing. For Mis
sissippi Is to have an election next 'all, and It has
been decreed by tbo Grand Cyclops that tbat State
Is to be redeemed from the curse or carpet-bag,
scalawag, radical role, and Indolng this thesleep
lng Kn Klux sernent will crawl oat fall-length 3
few days before the polls are opened and run all
the negroes Into the swamps, and swell ur so that
ltwUl be plainly visible over In New England
and the INoitbwctt, and perhaps wake up the
slumbering Hon ot American liberty over all the
loyal States, who wllL snatch once more, as la
1SC0, the sceptre from the traitor's hand, whither
it now seems to be drifting.
But what needs the poor Southern Republican
care what party Is in power They have had their
irlends in power ever slnco the close of the war,
and notwithstanding this hare had to undergo all
tbe suffering and torture that tbe devil, through
the mind of a wicked foe, could Invent against
them. During all this time they have been the
only true and loyal friends ot the Government In
the South. The promise of tbe Government to
give them the protection of the law, and punish
their peisecutors and murderers, is now beginning
to be undet stood as false.
The few feeble efforts made toward bringing
these political assassins to justice juston theevo
of an election, and suddenly discontinued Imme
diately thereafter, is beginning to be understood
by the tvnmble victims down there, as well as by
tbe agents who have been sent tbere to execute
tbo laws, whose efforts In that direction have
been twitted Into political capital by demagogues
of both political parties, at the expense ot the
live of many Southern Republicans, and to the
odlam of honest agents. Tnese praeuces are be
Ktnnlu:to.recoll. A government "that toulJ
send
A XAVT HALF AROUTiD THEVTOELD
to bombard Its way Into a Pagan city for wrongs
done to an American citizen In China stands here
to-day with its arms folded, while murderers who
slew a United States mall agent within three
tulles of year house walked the streets of yoar
town, chuckling and gloating over their crime in
open defiance of, and without lear of, the Uw. So
1 say, what need tbe poor Republican at the South
carer ir the Democrats come Into power, yoar
only protection will be In yoar own hands. It Is
tut little better now.
There Is a very strong element In tbe Sooth
that favors the Idea or the Government assuming
the carpet-bag debts or the Southern States In
flicted upon them, as tbey say, by the reconstruc
tion enforced by tbls tyrannical Government.
This questton will agitate the next Congress, and
receive a considerable degree of attenuoa trom
the high-flavored lobbyists. The bonds for these
outstanding debts are held bv Wall street, and
worth Trom three to thirty cents on the dollar. It
is rumored that the
CONTRACT FOB THE FASSAOE OF THE BILL
has already been let by the Wall streeters, an.l
tbat ev- alker. Gubernatorial banker. Demo
cratic carpet-bag member or Congress from Vir
ginia, Is tu be Its champion In the House, he un
der whose rule the Vliglnla State debt swelled
far up in the millions beyond what It had ever
been before. It Is also rumored that one Augustus
Suromertteld, of Ituncomb. the Independent, bolt
ing Ku-KIux thief, who stole bis seat from Gov.
ar.ee by his low political trickery and desertion
ol his own party friends, under whose advice aad
counsel and lobby generalship North Carolina
was made the victim ot a bond steal that only
equaled In enormity thatof Tammany Tweed, Is to
be tbe champion In the Senate.
Two better rascals ror thecbampionshlp of such
an Infamous scheme could not be selected sines
tbe death ot Captain KIdd. It Is also rnmorcj
that the contractor or this job is to get $1'W,00 it
the billpasset. and that Wall street Is tobies
tbat up by 7,ono,ooo more, to be used in greasing
tbe wheels or the legislative mllL Tbls job will
doubtless go through the House without trouble,
and the rub In the Senate will not be bard with
Merrimon Inside working ror poor, bleeding North
Carolina and a seven million pressure from with
out. TnERE IS A SCHEME PKEWISO,
however, that oat few know the depth ot, which
will eclipse even the big job just rererrel to.
When the White League get control or tbe Na
tional Government, when Union menof the North
ate ostracised here as they are with you, and the
Ku-KIux demon spreads Its dark wings and
breathes It nery breath, and clutches its deadly
claws over the dome orthe National Capitol ;
when one-armed Union toldlers and their widows
acd orphans have to give place In the public
efflees of the Government to those who fought to
destroy it: when the vaults of the Treasury are
opened wide to pay ror four millions of slaves;
when eighty Confederate warriors In the next
Congress crack the whip or the old slave power
over the heads or Union men, and matte thea
quail berore fts fierce sting; and when the Gov
ernment Is so changed at to give them perpetual
leate of power and C.eiirlsm, which tbey have
been ever ready to charge on General Grant, is
established under Democratic rule, tbe Kn-Klax
millennium will truly be at hand. When these
things shallall have come to pas. perhaps North
ern Republicans will begin to be convinced o
what we have known for years. In conclusion
my auvice to yoa is tnis:
TULLCP STICKS AXD LEAVE,
for you live In a section of the country where Ku
Kluxltm is to rule supreme. Your landt are dally
depreciating In value; your laboring population
Is leaving you and none coming to take their
placet. The end or this It plain. Wlndup.close
tut, get away, ror It will continue to grow worse
acd worte.and you will finally hare to leave after
all when nothing can perhaps be realized. Should
the Government move the troops which are now
tbere you would have no protection whatever. A
Ku-Kiux could then drop a few dozen otbls "blue
whistlers" Into you with Impunity, as you know
they have often threatened to do. ir you cannot
leave there make the best terms you can with
them to teeure yourteir against their hostility.
This 1 think you can do by agreeing to take no
part In politics in future, and by submitting to
inch Insults, on account ol your lormer Republi
canism, as they may teem disposed. In the magnan
imity of their hearts, to excuse you with. In
my next lwlll give yoa my view ot the origin,
giowtb, and objector tha Third Term agitation.
Truly jour friend, Hestek.
To-night' Concert.
Tbe Madrigal boys, a we have before men
tioned, will give their last concert at the Assem
bly church, corner of I and Fifth streets north
west. They came on from New York expressly
to sing at the concert of the Philharmonic Society
of Baltimore on Monday lut. Mr. Falrlamb
there engaged them for his concert in this city oa
Tnesday night, and owing to their great success
they were re-engaged for Thursday evening. At
this latter entertainment, to which we have al.
ready alluded, they created a special furore by
their interpretation of that very difficult con
certed piece, Chljnirtna, In Donizetti's Lucia di
Lammermoor. Mr. Falrlamb at once secured
their sirvlees ror another concert, to take place
this evening at the Assembly church.
This building, it is true, is a little oat of tha
way ror some of our citizens, bat it has a rare ad
vantage In the possession of a large, well-toned
organ, which, tn tbete concert, ha DeeuateJ
with excellent effect. With this aid the "Mle
rere," from "Trovatore," aad the 'Pilgrim's
Chora"," from "Lombard!," receive a truly noble
Interpretation.
It matt not be supposed that the Hadriga!
boys are the only attractions of the concert of
to-night. Mr. Falrlamb's admirable octette of
singers will take part, and the variety of solos
and concerted pieces cannot fall to please. Mrs.
Falrlamb will star the part or Leonora in tha
tower scene from "Trovator.," with Mr. Marsell
as Maurice. The Madrigal boy, beside the
piece let down for them on the programme, wlir, '
Ir desired by th. audience, sing a rev or those pe-.
cullar melodies known a "Jubllee'Songs."
