Tho anhjeci ii'(r Important 'tatty wild woll deserves 'tlio earnest and thought ful treatment of every cWtgyuum.- As wo discussed H, BoweVor, 'evenU liny before Mr. Bcochor's Sunday aennon, wo will nut, tetwu to its consideration Tho point that concerns u now was raised in th Plymouth pastor rnday ovoning talk. ' It relates to the obliga tion of editors, another yory Important matter which Air, Boechor was wise in bringing up. ' t ; ,iu , ;l ... The obligations of editors are always to truth and, justice flint of nil but at different times they muut tako differ ent direction.! t i ,V ., f. One of thogravostof evils at preient is the moral weaknes and depravity which are oating like a cancer at tho vitals of society. Nothing has more fomontod this diseano, which 'is ' now endemic m the XTnited States, than the propagation of false teachings as to the obligations, to men, and the failure to enforce tho truth that all tho good feeling that can be '-aroused, ult tho kindness of hriartf, fervency of prayer, and ovorflow of tears, cannot stay (ho operation of moral laws in tboir suro and steady retribution for the Individ, nal or peoplo who dare to violate them. AVo hava! long been having from the pulpit and the platform, and In the resolutions aud nominations of political conventions, evidence ' bf a delusion that we in this now and free country bad emancipated ourselves from the restraints of morality and the logic of lacU which binj other peoples. In business, too, there was the same effort to avoid the conclusions of experience and the rigorous precepts of commercial morality. . Theconsequcnco is that tho American who travels abroad as well as at home is obliged, when in con versation with Intelligent persons, to put himself on the defensive or avoid discussions as to his oonntry altogether. What can he say for the Credit Mobi licr, the Emma mine, the Northern Paeifio imposture, the Jay Cooke bank ruptcy, the salary grab, the dominance of Butler, repudiation avowed or con cealed or actually practiced, or the Beocher business, with its manifesta tions of the religion and morality of Brooklyn f ' "' , '-' If this long trial over the rivor lasts a year more, the people can afford to allow it to go on and the newspapers to report it, f it opens the tyes of the churches and the community to the fart that the sentimental way of assailing the devil is just the way he Wees best, for he is armed against the assault at all points, and can give offensive returns far more destructive than the blows he receives. This doctrine of good nature, the poetry of the fcehngs, the confessional of prayer, sympathy for the guilty, sublimation of the hard material fact, absence of rigorous treatment of obligation and offence all these things are making us not only ridiculous, but also untrustworthy in the eyes of the world. 1 ' The churches van well afford to hail the present interest in sciontifio meth. ods of arriving at conclusions, if it stimulates among the pcoplo the habit of looking lacts, moral, religious or material, aquaroly in the face, and bravely accepting their consequences whatever they may be and howevor shocking to the fanciful or terrible to the offending. The great panic of 1873 had healthy effects on business pru dence and morality, teaching men that it is foolish to try to make bricks with out straw, and that there aro relations between capital and obligation, specu lation and assets, which cannot safely be disregarded. ' This Beoahor trial is also teaching them that tho religion which is not grounded in stern morali ty and infused with something loss effervescent than passionate feeling, even If that feeling be what is called love to God and ecstatic devotion to Christ, in not a religion of a sort to make men suoh as they eap trust with thoirwivetOTtbeirpums. Whiohover way the trial issues, perjury and impari ty are demonstrated. Kither it proves Tuton a fraud, a hypocrite, a conspira tor, a vile fellow ; ilonltou a blackmail er, perjurer, ft false friend; Mrs. Moulton degrading her sex to swear away the character of an innocent minister whs talked to be.ro! magnen ftmity toward friend whom he fan clod ho had wronged, vhereas the rep resented him as confessing adultery and threatening suictilc; or, on the other hand, Beecher an impassioned ertoller of virtue and rapt adorer of Christ, sehose life he essayed to write, an adulterer, a moral coward, perjurer, traitor, and black ingrate. Here is ft flat issue of lact for the pub lio to meditate upon, and, when it is decided, to profit by its lessons. All these people wore in the atmosphere of Plymouth Churchy two gt them wore memben of it, aad had for yean partaken of its oommnnioa and enjoyed its religious teaching, and third had administered that communion and ex pounded . these teachings... Wo say nothing of the incidental evidence of loose social habit and disgusting per sonal familiarities brought out by the trial, though thoy alone lire enough to condemn the society in .which they are practised. .

The ovcrnwors and the overawed affiliating as lovingly and as tenderly ns spring lambs. That is the bright side ; hut the shade ol the picture displays a clannish crowd of begrimed workingmen, with scowling brows, who are looking upon this dis play of military force as but another link in the chain that has been long forging, which is to bind them to their liauirhty oppressors, and they demand their removal. On the other hand, the railroad and mining monop olies, which represent powor, force, favors its adjunct the military, and de mnnd their retention.
