Washington, June 24. Postmas
ter General Cresswell this morning
tendered his resignation in the fol
lowing letter ;
Sir: After more than five years of
continuous service, I am constrained
by proper regard for my private inter
ests to resign the office ot Postmaster
General, and to request that I may be
relieved from duty as soon as it may
be convenient for you to designate my
successor. For the generous confi
dence and support- which you have
uniformly extended to mc in my ef
forts to discharge my duty I shall not
attempt to express the full measure of
my gratitude. It is sufficient to say
that my relations, official and personal.
with yourself and with every one of
my colleagues ot the cabinet have al
ways been of the most agreeable and
satisfactory character to mc. Best
assured that I shall continue to give
to your administration my most cor
dial support and that I shall ever
deem it an honor to be permitted to
subscribe myself sincerely and faith
fully your friend, 7

Executive !; Mansion, Washing
ton, D. June 24.
My Dear Sir: . As I expressed to
you verbally this morning when you
tendered your resignation of the of
fice of Post Master General, it is with
the deepest regret to me that you
should have felt such a course neces
sary. You are the last of the original
members ot the cabinet named by me
as . I was entering upon my present
duties and it makes one icel as if old
associations were broken up that I
had hoped might continue through
ray official life. 1 In separating offi
cially, I have but two hopes to ex
press, first, that I may get a successor
who will be as faithful and efficient in
the performance of. the duties of the
office you resign, second, a personal
friend that I can have the same at
tachment for. ' Yonr record has been
satisfactory to me and I know will so
prove to the country at large. , .

The. Tllton-Beeeber Scandal.
The following just article from the
Cincinnati Gazette, sneaks our mind
rerardinff this unfortunate affair.
and the judgment of the American
People is. that Mr.,' Beecher . must
speak out he cannot longer remain
silent and retain the respect of Chris-
tain men and women or his own eelf-
resDect: ' ' -
The charges of Theodore Tilton
against Henry Ward Beecher are
too grave to be passed over in
silence by the person against whom
they are directed. Whether true
or false, they give such a point and
coherency to scandalous rumors
which have been floating about for
a year or two past, their real weight
must be promptly and satisfactorily
ascertained. A minister's influence,
like a woman's reputation, is dam
aged by even the suspicion of im
purity. We may regard Tilton as
an egotist, and as the eulogizer, if
not the companion, of vile women,
yet his allegations are not to be set
aside by a mere contemptuous re
fusal to notice them. Mr. Beecher's
good fame is the property of the
nation. He is not simly the pastor
of Plymouth Church, but the re
ligious and moral instructor of
thousands who have never heard
his voice or seen his face. He has
leavened, whether for good or evil,
the theology of the age, and .his
ways and expressions are imitated
in many a pulpit where his theology
is not tausrht No decent or kind
tempered man, be he the admirer
or critic of Mr. Beecher's peculiar
ities, can feel aught but sorrow for
his trouble. - If his guilt should be
proved, the faith of many in minis
terial integrity would be shaken.
The genial good nature, the over
flowing humor, the exuberant fancy,
and the many sided mind of Mr.
Beecher have given him a position
unequaled by that of any other
.clergyman in America. We do not
corunaro him with Shakespeare, yet
we remember no one who has more
nearly aproximated the versatility
of the great dramatist. It is re
markable to see with what unan
imity the New York papers express
their sympathy for Mr. Beecher in
his trouble. The Tribune, of which
Mr. Tilton is one of the proprietors,
regrets his folly in rnshing into
print with his troubleswhile the
-World and the Herald refer to him
with undisguised contempt Other
journals are equally pronounced m
.r fritu-isms. This remarkable
agreement shows pretty clearly the
current of public sentiment in New
Tf Mr. Beecher falls, it will
not be for . the lack of earnest and
cenerous supports, He must speak
out, however. If his revelations
shall ; be . painful to himself and
1 agonizing to others, he will not be
-rfiarjonslble. for the veil has been
.I v Vw the hands of a
foe. ' 1

CeareMlanaI.
The convention for choosing a can
didate for Coneress. for this district
being near at hand, it is high time for
the people to be casting about in'
search of a proper person to make the
race. The "candidale,whoever he
may be, in order to bring about a suc
cessful issue, will have quite enough
to do. " The Democratic Gbllah" is al
ready in the .field and is challenging
the hosts of Israel. Who shall be our
champion, is the question?
It is conceded that Mr. Holman
will be the Democratic candidate. He
is a man of great natural shrewdness,
"yet, withal, most unscrupulous,'
possessing moro ability than integrity.
He has his smiles for the just, and he
smiles with the unjust, and is not
unlearned in all the little arts that
make a demagogue formidable. The
"unterrified" have . unbounded confi
dence in their champion and he will
receive their undivided support, let
his reputation and character be what
they may, for Democratic strength lies
in the "blindness of faith." "Thou
hast faith, and I have works," is the
only admonition Mr.' Holman need
give in order to rally his friends.
In selecting a man to oppose Mr.
Holman the Republican party should
choose one fully his equal his supe
rior if possible. - Three candidates for
the nomination are at this time in the
field; Mr. Claypool, of Fayette county,
Mr. Reynolds, of Randolph, and Mr.
Adams, of Franklin. Mr. Reynolds
is a young lawyer, rather an affable
gentleman and a fair speaker; but his
age and inexperience are objections
urged against him even by his friends.
Mr. Adams . is an attorney of average
ability, a pleasant rather than a forci
ble speaker, aud ' is perhaps not the
superior of Mr. Holman in mental
force; as a politician he is certainly
not his peer. , While it may be conce
ded that Mr. Adams is now an earnest
and staunch Republican, yet his polit
ical' record is not without objection,
as will be made to appear by his ene
mies if he is nominated. Mr. Clay
pool is undoubtedly the best qualified
of any of the candidates mentioned.
He is Mr. Holman's peer in every
respect his superior in many. His
political record cannot be impeached.
He is a fearless and forcible speaker,
and combining as he docs, great nat
ural ability with a finished education,
he would prove more than a match
for Mr. Holman upon the "stump,
and would make a representative of
whom the district might well be proud.
I speak thus of Mr. Claypool solely
upon my own responsibility, believing
what I say, and with no intent to dis
parage the prospects of any other can
didate. -
In selecting public servants, it is
the duty of good citizens to lay asMe
their personal "likes and dislikes,"
and choose able men. Mr, Claypool's
ability is beyond question; his reputa
tion as a citizen is excellent, and his
political record is untainted; he is a
fluent speaker and a ready debater,
and certainly every earnest and sincere
Republican must well say, "these be
the things which determine my
choice. The Republican party will
do well to select Benj. F. Claypool as
their candidate in the coming contest.

Morton was announced the conven
tion arose and cheered long and

plause, and, upon their adoptation,
three times : three cheers were
again given for Senator Morton,

The Fall Mall tiaiette tells ot a
story apropos of the appointment of
M de Saint Denys to the post ot Sor
bone, professor of ' Chinese, of what
happened to his late predecessor in
that learned chair M. Stanislas
Jullien. When M. Jullien was nom
inated to the post, bis lectures were
eiven on Thursday , and Saturday of
each week, but for the first month his
audience consisted solely of the stove,
which could scarcely he expected to
derive much benefit from a lecture on
language. One day, greatly to his
surprise, a largo party of fashionably
dressed ladies and gentlemen put in an
aunearance. and M. Jullien, out of
gallantly to the former, began his lec
ture by translating a sonnet py tne
Chinese Doet Li-o-Tsinir. in which
woman is compared to "the lotos of
the Yellow River." The audience ap
peared to follow the lecture with deep
interest, and M. Jullien began to think
that Lis office would be no sinecure.
There was a lame attendance the fol-
lowine week, and among the company,
the lecturer noticed one gentleman
who had been present on the previous
occasion, and whom he 6et down as an
admirer of the Chinese language. This
gentleman continued to attend a whole
course ot the lectures, accompanied
on each occasion by a fresh party, and
it was only six months afterward that
M. Jullien discovered that he was a
guide who showed foreigners the
sights of Paris, one of the most re
markable of which he considered to
be a professor teaching a stove to talk

The new currency bill has passed
both houses of Congress and the
President signed it on the 22d inst.
f he Comptroller of the Currency
says that the $55,000,000 national
bank circulation it takes from the
East for redistribution in the West,
Indiana gets $2,800,000. Western
men claim the bill as a great victory
snatched from the jaws of defeat,
as it takes from the Prosident the
power to retire the 826,000,000
reserve he put in circulation last
fall, and prevents rcntraction. It
will, also, 1 throw into circulation
from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000 of
legal tenders now locked up in the
banks, hastern -men sav that it
expands the currency $50,000,000,
while no one puts : it lower than
$30,000,000. ' That I he expansion
under the bill will be greater than
would have , been, had the vetoed
bill became a law, is conceded.
A correspondent of the New
York Times, writing from Borne,
says that American sculptors are
paid higher prices than the artists
of almost any other nation. He
recalls an illustrative example of
the past: The citizens of Boston
raised 312,000 for tha statue of
Daniel Webster, made by the late
Mr. Powers. The statuo was lost
by the wreck of the vessel which
carried it to America. As it was
insured the money was -paid over
to the committee, who thus had in
their hands double the amount 1
originally subscribed. An arrange
ment was made with the artist for
making a replicate, at the price of
$7,000. ' Mr. Powers had only to
send his model a second time to the
bronze foundry of Papi, in Flor
ence, paying about $2,000 for
casting the figure each time. He
thus had $15,000 for his own labor
of a few months. Mr. Powers was
indignant when the fact was given
in the newspapers at the time; but
as the transaction was a perfectly
honest one there was nothing to be
ashamed of, and the public were
interested to here of such good
fortune. -

About eight weeks ago a German
laborer, naimed Ellers, living in
Toledo bought a couple of pounds
of sausage, which he took home.
They were rarely cooked the next
morning and eaten at brerkfasL
The next day Ellers was seized
with peculiar symptoms, which cul
minated in a violent diarrhea and
vomiting, lasting about twenty four
hours.' His wife and two children
were also attacked with pains.
Physicians being summoned, pro-'
nounced the trouble with Mrs. El
lers and the children rheumatism,
and treated them for. that. Other
physicians were called in, who .di
agnosed the disease correctly. Five
weeks after the attack one of the
children, a boy aged three years,
died in great agony. Last Thurs
day afternoon Mrs. Ellers died, and
a microscopic examination made
yesterday of portions of the flesh
taken from the lungs, limbs and
other portions of the body, revealed
the fact that the whole . system
swarmed with trichina. In lumps
of flesh no larger than a pin head
were found from fifteen to twenty
of the encysted parasites. The
other child is not dead yet, but
lives in a very critical condition. It
is supposed that Ellers' life was
saved by the violent purging and
vomiting which he underwent. The
case is exciting much interest in
the medical profession here, and
specimens of the infectid flesh have
been sent abroad to medical col
leges and prominent physicians.-

The Beecher Scandal..
Mr. Theodore Tilton' baa at last
broken his long silence, and pub
lished a lengthened explanation of
hia relations to the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher,to Plymouth Church,
and to the notorious scandal which
has so long shocked and disturbed
tho public mind. The principal
feature of Mr. Tilton's statement is
the lollowinsr extract fx om an al-
eged confession made ., by Mr.
Beecher: ' -
Brooklyn", Jan. 1, 1871.
"I ask Theodore Tiltons forgive
ness, and humble mj'self befere him
as x do before my God. He would
have been a better man in my cir
cumstances than I have been. I can
ask nothiiig except that he will
remember all the other breasts that
would ache, I will not plead for
myself. I even wish' that I were
dead. " v .
, -
"II. W. Beecher.
Mr. Tilton should have said more !
or no should have continued to f
hold his toncrue. What does the !
omitted part of this paper signed
by Mr. Beecher contain? What
does it refer to? Whv did Mr. !
3eecher ask Theodore Tilton's for-1
giveness? What had Beecher done j
that Tilton could forgive? How :
would the one have been a better
man in the same circumstances i
than tho other? Why does Mr..
ieecner wisu inai lie were dead!
And was this document really writ
ten by Mr. lieecher with his name
signed to it by his own hand?
These questions suggest them
selves to every mind. - The end of
this amazing affair has not vet been
reached. ; Mr. Beecher must now
speak and tell the whole truth.
Silence on his part is no longer
possible.

Mr. E. Davidson, of North Caro
lina, late a granger lecturer, having
announced himself as "an mde
pe pendent farmers' candidate for
Congress, the grangers in Anson
county have "gone for him" in a
series of resolutions, one of which
is as follows: That we recrret and
condemn the steps taken by our
brother and lecturer, K C. David'
son, in announcing himself a farm
ers candidate for (Jons-res, as we
think his course is calculated to
damage our ; order, and that we
will not support him. .

pLUMMER & MORRISSON,
Wholesale and Retail Druggists,
Mrs. Audubon, the widow of the
celebrated naturalist, John J. Au
dubon, died in Shelbyville, Ky.,
June 18th, aged 88. She was a
lady of unusual attainments, and
the constant companion of ' her
husband in his labors and travels,
visiting the principal courts of
Europe in his company. For many
years past, since his death," she has
lived with her relatives in Ken
tucky." ' ' '" "'
An action was recently brought in
a Canadian court for the sum ot two
dollars. Counsel had been employed
and the plaintifi s counsel wa pro
ceeding to state his state, when the
judge, throwing a two-dollar bill (o
the clerk, said, "There's the mone
each party pays his own costs." The
counsel objected on the ground that
tleo had been entered, and the iadce
exclaimed: "Do you think I am. going
to sit here halt a day to listen to picas
in an action for two dollars? My time
is worth more than that. Call the
next case." -
lne most approved style ot crema
tion has bceu invented by a Leipsic
professor, and is simple, pious and
cheap. The corpse is lowered into a
smoothly walled room where no other
objects can be fouud. Nothing touch
es it but the air, heated to a white
glow intensity, the oxygen of which
combines with the atoms of the or
ganic structure. Only the ashes re
main, and these can be gathered up
unmixed with foreign substances.
The cost of burning a body by this
process is about two dollars. An
architect is engaged in constructing a
cremation -oven according to this
model in Dresden, and if the prospec
tive trials prove satisfactory the com
munes of both Dresden and Leipsic
have declared their readiness to adopt
the system. '
Well hone, Methodlata! :
: ' The following resolutions were nass-
ed unanimously, on the 28th of May.
by the Michigan State Convention of
Methodists, in session at Jackson,
Michigan: ' .
Whereas, The Legislature of Mich
igan, at its recent session, submitted
to the electors ol the State a proposi
tion to amend tho State Constitution
so as to admit the women of Michigan
to the elective franchise; therefore,
, Resolved, That tliis Convention rec
ognize the action of the Legislature as
a step towards a higher and purer ad
ministration of the Government of
our country, and we hope the provis
ion will be adopted.
Among the products of a period
of loose political cohesion, not the J
least remarkable is the German
Citizens - party, which calls itself
"Die Deutscb Amerikanische TJnab
hanige Burger-Association von Srew
York.'' This new political organ
ization is said to be the product of i
a union among "German speaking
Democrats, Republicans, Liberal ;
Republicans, and Reformers." This
is a mingling of creeds with a i
vengeance.

Some of our Republican contem
poraries. Hays the Pittsburg, Com
mercial, have a ; 8ingu!-r notion as
to what constitutes tho Republican
party. They r should know that it
does not consist alone in the Ex

offices and draw the salaries, but
that it is composed in good pait. of
men who perform the labor, pay
the taxes end do the voting. A
little occasional reflection on this
