Mr. William A. Galbcuilh has address

LAST W EEK S ELECTIONS. 1
In Rh<xte Island the election resulted j
in no choice for governor and lieutenant
governor. The repeal of the prohibito
ry liquor law mixed up the parties.
St. Louis went democratic. Laven
worth wentjradiral. The democrats car
ry f Unaha and have a gain of over 500.
iHie democrats also carried Schenectady,
X. V. The elections throughout Ohio
generally resulted in favor of the Democ
racy. The tidal wave goes on.
Michigan went radical by alsiut 12 ,<**>,
which is a falling off.
Two more members of the legislature
have died. On Wednesday of last week
Charles Willett, dem<x-rat of Berks<-ouii
ty died, and on Tuesday William Bard
sley, republican, of Philadelphia, died.
This makes seven members that have
died.
And now honest Johnney Cessna
has been provided for. He is a true
blue third-termer, and the President has
appointed him Assistant Attorney-Gen
eral. Jonny also was strongly in favor
of Grant's force bill for the subjugation
of Southern states and forcing them into
choosing Grant electors —ami for this
the ex-congressman has his reward.
The 'longshoremen in New York have
struck again. The| strike may bruise
them most as it did last winter. The
men declare that they will hold out for
their demands, and the stevedores, on
the other hand, emphatically declare
that they will never give in, and will
not under any circumstances re-employ
the men who have struck.
The factory operatives at Fall River,
Mass., are on a strike.
The Houtsdale miners, in Clearfield
county, demand an advance of ten cents
per ton on their wages."
All is quiet in the coal regions. The
military are guarding the mines in the
vicinity of Haaelton, and as there is
much popular indignation at tlu* pres-
ence of troops the Ooveroor has promis
ed to withdraw tliem if the sheriff of
Lozerne county so advises. The miners
of the Lackawanna section have resolv
d not to strike, and it is believed that
thit will have a good effect on the disaf
region.

form it was an attack on the I Vims ratio
party for its reactionary tendencies and
its compliv ity with the disorders thatji \-
ist, or have recently existed, in the
S,iuth. it was in effect a vlefen-s of the
measures of the Fxevuiive and of I -n -
gresn which were Iwvsed vn th- -<- ,lior
ders, and meant to suppress them and
prevent their recurrence. The princi|ial
arguments adilressed to the jwople of
Connecticut were, in sulwtamv. a justit.-
cntion of the course of the government
in lavuisiana. of the attempted legislation
know n as the Force hill, of the tNvil
bights law. ami of that general purpose
of the AvUninistration which these meas
ures embody and illustrate. This gen
eral jwieition of the Repnhliean mana
gers in Connecticut was marked with
great vlistinctness by the nomination of
a man for Governor who was ixuispieu
ousl v a believer in the policy we have
referred to. The people w ere asked to
Itelieve that correction, and we may
even say v ioleuoe. is the only pioju-r
policy to be pursued toward the Smth.
It is a policy, wv* neel not remind our
leaders, which we have steadily oppos
ed. The result shows that we. at least,
not misjudged tbetoue of public ff-eling
oil the great quetion at issue. \N bile a
latjrc prtqvortion of the Kepublican party
are in svinpathv with the -eutiment
which animates the Administration, and
w'ivich was displayed by the majority in
the last Congress, there is a considerable
lininher of Hepnhlieans who are either
not in sympathy with that sentiment, • r
who do not approve of the policy to
which it lias given rise. It is these Re
publicans who have given the Ih-inovnit
ic |>arty a larger majority than they hud
a year ago. Whatever they mav think
of the jxvssible mischief to be apprehend
ed front that party, they arc willing to
tru-t it far enough and long enough to
express iu an unmistakable manner tbeir
disapprobation of the present position
of some Republican leaders. In -hort.
the people want peace, and they are ful
ly determined to have it."
HEEt HER OX THE STASH.
The Philadelphia Times in its outspok
en manner thus refers to the Beccher
trial, or rather to Mr. Beccher'- testimc
nv in his own la-ha If:
We said the other day that we hoped
Mr. Beecher would not stay on the stand
as a witness so long as to destroy all re
collection of what his predet < -sors had
testified to, and we said so t-eeansc we
want the ends of justice served. Noth
ing is to be gained in this case by dra
matic effect orsensutional situations. It
is a course which concerns public moral
ity, and in which is involved a sx ial
problem of no little moment. Hack of
Henry Ward Beecher stands the class of
which he is a memlier, and back of the
crime he is alleged to have committed
stand the theories of which he i a rep
resentative.
No* thus far, we moat .ay. without
desiring to or take cither ride, that the
mass oft lie testimony i* overwhelming
ly against hint. There is a millstone
around his neck, which has not lcciire
moved, even while one has lecn attach
ed to the giraffeTilton. The witnesses he
has produced have testified to nothing
which exculpates him, while they have
revealed numerous things that exculpate
Theodore Tilton. They left the case
precisely where it stood before. We
knew Theodore Tilton as a long-liaired,
long-liinhed visionary, who could w rite
the sweetest song that ever lulledahahy
to sleep, and the most libidinous argu
ment that ever excited the appetite <•{ a
lecherous author of Pantarvhy. We
knew Henry Ward Beceher as u full
fw-ed, full-bodied and full-minded
preacher of physical religion, who drew
his illustrations with full freedom fr>m
nature, and we know him as such now.
He tells us that he grew up in an atmos
phere. speaking theologically, or rather
religiously, as pure as crystal ; that his
lather, Lvman Beceher, was an accepted
expression of the orthodox faith of New
Kngland. and that his six brothers were
all preachers. Very well. And thcnfhc
emphatically denies that he committed
the crime for which he is charged. He
denies Tilton's statements; he centra
diets Moult on, and he charges all the
other witnesses for the prosecution with
being purjurens. But be does it alone,
not a single witness has been prodnt ed
who ooroborates, sustains or clinches
his evidence. It rests alone u|w>n his
own word, and that, if the plaintiff and
the long line of witnesses who followed
him on the stand are to believed, is a
slender reed indeed. As the ease stands
at present, Tilton's testimony holds good ;
the mutual friend is still firm, and Mrs.
Moulton is to be credited with having
wished to "give the old man another
chance," Brother Richards, an unworthy
brother who witnessed and acquiesced
in a sister's shame, is unitnpeached, and
Mrs. Carry, the cook—nautral eiuhroilef
of a family—stands unchallenged. The
letters, too, which are in evidence, re
main unexplained and unanswered. Mr
Beecher still hangs on the sharp and
ragged edge of anxiety, fear, despair and
remorse; Theodore would still have act
ed better under the same circumstances
than he did, and Moulton is the friend
God sent him, yet. To all intents and
purposes, us far as the cv idcncc goes, he
preached his last sermon yesterday.
What Mr. Beeeher must do is to con
firm and coroborute his story by other
witnesses. The fact that puritanical Ly
man Beecher was his father, and that
his six brothers were all clergymen ; that
Tilton is an abandoned social licentiate;
ami that Frank Moulton besides being a
heathen according to his own confession
is a swash-buckler and a braggart, w ill
not help him. If he could bring in
Boweu to Clink the gaps left by himself,
he would gain a great deal, powpn

We see it now auiuiumx-d, say - tin

Why was he made one of the |art:< -
to the tripartite treaty if his tonnection
with this business was tmt dose, inti
mate, essential, aud influential? His
two fellow covenanters are fighting to
death in a great suit of law. each accu
sing the other of perjury, and yet he,the
third party to that solemn agreement of
]>eaee, forgiveness, and brotherly love, i
not to li-asked to testify in cither's he- 1
half.
We shall not lielievc that there is any j
intention to omit evidence so vital u-
Mr. Bowen's until the case is dosed on
lH,th sides without Ids having been call
ed. If the testimony of Mrs. Tilton, Mis-
Susan B. Anthony, ami that dcjK-iidiug
on it, shall not betaken boaurethf law
or the Judge will not receive it, its ab
sence will he a lamentable hut necessary
loss to the public and the innocent j>ar
ty,but there is nothing in the law to
prevent the appearance of Mr. Itrovv n on
the stand. He declares that he liaa noth
ing hut the truth to tell, and if lie tells
what is not true, a fair and searching
public scrutiny and opinion w ill sift his
testimony and punish Ids jwrjury ; and
the twelve jurymen la-fore whom this
ease is nominally tried can weigh his
evidence along with the rest of thclmdy
of directly conflicting testimony la-fore
them.
There is a square issue of perjury join
ed in Brooklyn now, and other crimes
than adultry, crimes in essence really
more odious than that, nre awaiting the
decision. Two laymen, and a woman of
social position, and a renowned clergy
man, whose good name is priceless to
him and unspeakably dear to many
thousands of the people, are confronting
each other with the terrible charge ol
perjury. Can either side afford to spare
the testimony of Mr. Bow en under such
circumstances? It cannot, for therecan
can be no rest until this infamous busi
ness is sifted to the bottom with the help
of all essential testimony, and the guil
ty punished to the extremity of the law.

four summers of the term for which he
was elected. Pinch also quoted the
Louisiana resolution pa scd by the Sen
ate as the recognition of the Kellogg
government, and eontemlod that his
claims to recognition hv the senate were
quite as valid as those of Kellogg, in
which he was undoubtedly correct. Hut
he omitted to consider one very impor
tant difference Is-twecn the two cases ;
Itossto-ant had no brother-in-law whom

Mr. C. A. King-ley writes as follows in
Forest anil stream of a bath in the I>ead
Kea : "Reaching at length this most re
markable of ail seas and lakes on our globe
we prepared to take ft bath 1 can hardly
expect ever to take again. I had pre*it
ously bath'-d in numerous seas, lake- and
rivers, but never did J enjoy such a bath
u this. The specific gravity of thg water
is such, Irom its holding in solution so
largo a proportion of suit (twenty six and
ft hull'per cent, i that one finals upon it
surface like cork. At tint time thoro was
only a gentle ripple upon the sua, and be
ing n good swimmer 1 at once struck ant
into de.-j) water. I soon found that I
could not only swim and fioat with wonder
ful ease, but that t could actually walk on
the water, sinking only to the arm-pits.
Discovering this fact, 1 made for the shore
and taking Dr. C., one of our party, who
could not -wins, by the hand, led him in
to the seu where the water was many fath
om- deep. At first he was quite reluctant
to follow iuc, but he soon gained confidence
on finding tbe-u was tin danger of sinking
and lie enjoyed the novel ball, a; much a
if he had been an expert swimmer. Should ■
the bather allow the water to get into hi
ius eye* or wuyth ho would suffer con-id

but various ki'ils of ducks abound here at'
certain seasons of thu year. The water
was as clear us ordinary .-uu wtt*r, j(. [em
perature was agreeable, ami it had an oily
fueling, ami altogether its action on the
surface of the body was sueli a* to develop
those pleasurable sensations pertaining to
the sense of touch, accompanied by the
most delightful exhilaration. Of all the]

let I are rubbed together, than each hind
leg .s passe.) oxer n wing, then the fun
legs undergo a like treatment ; and lastly,
if you look shaip, y.eu will see the insect
carry his proboscis over his legs and about
Ills body us fai a* he call reach. The mi
nute trunk is perfectly retractile, and it
terminates in two large lobe*, which you
can see -pi.".l out when the insect hegili
a meal on n lump of ugixr. Now the rub

smoothing operation ; but for what pur
p ei- this carefully going over the body
with the trunk, especially when thai or
gan is not fitted for licking, hut simply fur
grasping and sucking up fuud
This query, which perhaps may have
suggested itself to thousands, ha* recently
lor the first tune been answered by a Mr.
Ktnerson, an English chemist and ccr
tnt.lly in the light of the revelation* of
that gentleman's investigation*, the fly
as.uini* th* position of an important friend
instead of a pest to mankind Mr Emer
son stales that he began his scif-appoil)ted
task of tinding out whether the house fix
really serves any appreciable purpose in
the scheme of creation, excepting ns all in-
different scavenger, by capturing a limi
spicimon and gluing hi* wing, down t-> a.,

seemed to lake hi* pi >.lion Veiy coolly,
and. evlending bis proboscis, began to

scope, however, showed that the operation.
sc* not one of self-beautiflcation ; tor
wherever the lice were, there the trunk 1
w eiiL The lice were disappearing into tbe
trunk ; the Ay was eating them. Up to
'.bis time, the investigator bad treated bit
spec imen as of tbe ma*culine gender ; but
now be change- hi* inind]and conclude* it
to be a female, busily devouring not Lee
but her own progeny The flic- thc-n car
n their young about them ; and when the
family g< t ti*o numerous ur the mother too
hungry, the offspring ara eaten.
Auhiit: reasoning thus, Mr. Emerson
pit kc-1 up a scrap u{ white writing paper,
from which two HIM appeared to be busily*
rating something, and put it under the in
strument There wrre tho progeny again
on tbe pap r and easily rubbed oil with a
cloth. "This," he says, "set nic thinking.
I took the paper into the kite hen again and
mo i d it around, taking care that no Hies

The investigator goes on to describe lion

of localities, end how, in dirty and bad

of flies which rtiC.nl there literally cov
ered with animalcule*, while other flies,
captured in bed room* or well ventilated,
clean upartuieiit<, were miscrbiy lean and
entirely free from their prey. Wherever
filth existed, ovolyingjjorm* which might
generate disease, there were the flic*, covs
criug theni-olve* with the minute organ

Mr. Kmur-on, wbilu thus proving the
utility of the fly has nddrd another and
lower link to that curious and iioccs .try
chain of destruction which exist* in ani
mated nature. These infinitesimal nnlmcl
cule* form food for the flies, the flie* fur
tho spiders, the spider* for the bird*, lha'
bird* for the quadruped*, and *0 on up to'
the lust of the scries, serving the same,
purpose to man. He certainly deserve*
credit for an interesting and novel investi
gation, nnd for nn intelligent discernment
which might even attack the more difficult
task of b aching u the uses—for Nature
makes nothing without some benificial end

—A case was decidad in our Supreme
Court in January which is somewhat
important to Koud Commissioners,
Supervisors, and other township oHi*
rials on whom devolves the duty of
( keeping public bridges in repair. It
mine up on an appeal from the Com
mon Pleas of Chaster county. The
Supervisors of Newton township neg
lected to keep iu proper repair the
sidp guards of a bridge over Hrandy
wine creek. Th r o'Jgb this neglect the
parties at the ease were urcoi/iUtcJ
into the stream and injured. The de
tense endeavored to show that the
hridg*? was not built by the township,l
but was a rutin,ud ccntpnnv's duty to;
c•that it was kept in proper repair
The Court, however, decided that'
while it was true that the structure
was constructed by the railroad com
pany, it was butii iu order to supply'
(lie old road which lias been occupied!
by its improvements. Thus it became
a nuhlic highway, and was so regard
ed not only by the public, which con
stantly used it as such, hut also l>y the
township officers, who took charge o:
and pgl fncli repairs upon it as they j
thought necestaiy. conclusion the
Court said : The public authorities!
arc charged with the maintenance oil
tjjt highways ami they haveabundaut l
power % flat purpose. That they
should keep llieui iu u .ci;; Jition 1
is of the highest importance to tliej
citizen, absolutely necessary for liisj
safety and H'pJfare, as to that end hej
pays his taxes. Cor this reason the!
judgment in the court below against]
the township for damages was affirm

opinion.
