The Democracy are already calcu
lating on taking possession of the
government nt the next Presidential
election by allying themselves with
the 8outhern Democracy. Such a co
alition will be made. Whether it
shall suoceed or not. will be the great
issue in the next Presidential cani
paign. The Credit Mobiiicr affair,
Iho salary crab, the Jnvne and San
horn swindles, the vncillating policy
of Congress on the currency question,
have brought discredit on the Repub
lican party and favor the uccess of
the Democracy. Chicago Tribune.
The Democracy calculated on tak
ing possession of the Government nt
each election for tho last fourteen
years, but they were prevented by
the people from doing so. Had they
not been prevented we would not
now havo a country, strong, and in
tact, respected and honored, as H is.
by all tlm nations of the earth. In
I860 the Democracy calculated on re
taining possession of the government,
"by allying themselves with the
Southorn Democracy," in order to
carry out their then far advanced
programme of perpetuating human
slavery and extending it into all the
Territories and States. Arguments
on the merits of the principles involv
ed having long been exhausted, in
timidation was resorted to by the al
lied Democracy of the North and
South. Tho rebel-breeders of the
South said they must havo tho elec
tion or they would dispnlve the Un
ion, and these of th North took up
tho echo and said, "the- will dissolve
the Union," and the allied Democra
cy did all it was possible for them to
do, to prove true their rule or ruin
throats, and the greatest rebellion, or
war, tho world ever saw then follow
ed the result of their combined ef
fort to ruin after their failure to again
obtain possession of the government
by tho will of a majority of the peo
ple. Tn 1884 tho allied cohorts of De
mocracy again calculated on taking
possession of the government, and on
n platform which declared tho war a
failure they continued to advocate the
doctrine of secession. At that time
tho Southern Democracy were in an
attitude of war and defiance, and
their allies, the Northern Democracy,
said let our brethren of the South
alone let them go with whatpart of
the Union they want they cannot be
conquered and humbled to obedience
of the Jaw. The Republican party
thought differently, and the result
proved it to be in the right, as it has
always boen. While the allies had
again to endure the chacrin of dpfent
at the polls, they found some aatlsfac
tion in their victory over the mortal
of the immortal Lincoln. They
gloried in that that if their doctrines
could not obtain, th?3' could, by the
hand of an appointed emissary, ax
sawinate the noblest Roman of them
all. But the enthusiasm of nnrn nHf-
riotistn did not ebb with the life-blood
of the great Lincoln. It lived to car -

he had Inculcated, and the work he
had commenced and for which he was
slsin.
Tn ISfiS these allies again made their
calculations on taking pososslon of
tho government. This time they
thought to succeed by preaching re
pudiation of the nation's obligation
to Its creditors, by opposition to ihe
reconstruction actB of the Republican
Congress, and the amendments of the
Constitution of the United States
which dcolares and guarantees equal
rights to nil citizens and by favoring
the overthrow of the work which the
loyal people had done in all the pre
ceding years of sanguinary strife, and
covertly advocating the restoration of
negro slavery. But the designs of the
allies wero again thwarted over
whelmingly by the people.
In 1S72, although the allies had be
come very much demoralized, they
thought they might, by a trick and a
very improbable combination of cir
cumstances, get possession of the
government. They pretended to be'
dead, they 'possumized. they allied, i
they traded and dickered with mal
contents, demagogues and thieves
who had been kicked out of the Re
publican party and otherwise, and
out of offices whloh they had dis
graced, and with this kind of congen
ial material tho fouliv ree!,inr ,. I

at least a part of the people, on the
bare question of veracity between the
two, has challenged Beecher and his
friends to a public trial in a court of
justice where each witness may be

the only way the facts can be, or ever
will be arrived at. Tilton's proposi

will Mr. Beecher accept? He dare
not accept it, if we are correct in our
opinion.

divulging the private matters of his

we havo 3een, in tho opinion that

sworn statement contains matter and

Margaret A Jones o her final rest

garet A. Keith was born in 1818 in
North Carolina. In 1833 ahe wa3
married to David Jones. During the
great religious awakening in 1834- Mr.
and Mrs. Jones made a public- profes
sion of true faith in Christ, and soon
after both united with the Baptist
Church. The' wants ofa "growing
family and a desire to better .their ii
nancial prospects Induced them to
move, in 1849, to Buchanan county,
Mo. For similar reasons they moved
to Nemaha county in 1865. and settled
on their farm three miles southwest
of Brownville. A Baptist Church
was organized in their neighborhood
soon after, of which Mrs. Jones was
an active and constant member. Dur
ing the lust four 'months of her life
she suffered untold pain from a can
cer on her breast, from which sho
died at her residence on Saturday
last, leaving a husband, twelvegrown
up children, ai.d many friends to
mourn her departure from this life qf
suffering to a glorious life with Christ
in the mansions which he prepares
for God's adopted sons and daughters.
During her sickness she testified to
those who were without Christ in the
world of the realities of religion and
of its power to comfort those who ex
pected soon to exchange this world
for the bright prospects of Heaven.
A few days before her death she said
to her husband and children that she
had often looked upon death and the
grave with terror, but now she would
welcome the time of departure, and
prayed that they would all be prepar
ed to meet her where parting would
be no more. Thus liveth and thus
paseth away the saints of earth to
their resting place with Christ, at the
right hand of God in Heaven. May
her husband, her children and her
neighbors ever strive to imitate that
bright christian example, which
though dead, still liveth to-woo us all
into the paths of virtue, usefulness
and a life of happiness beyond this
vale of tears. J. s. c.

TOS'S STORY.
MB. BEECHER'S STATEMENT.
New York, July 22. This evening
several of the decons of Plymouth
Church, with Mr. Shearman, Mr.
Ross and- Gen. Tracy, met at Mr.
Beecher's residence, and after a coun
cil lasting about three hours, drew
up the following statement of Mr.
Beecher's for publication :
I do not propose at this time a de
tailed examination of the remarkable
statement of Theodore Tilton made
before the committee of investigation,
and which appeared in print July 21.
I recognize the many reasons which
make it of transcendent importance
to myself the church and the cause of
public morality that I shall give a full
answer to the charges against me, but
having requested the committee of in
vestigation to search this matter to
the bottom, it is to them I look for my
vindication; but I cannot delay for
an hour to defend the reputation of
Mrs. Elizabeth R Tilton, upon whose
name, in connection with mine, her
husband has attempted to poursbame.
One less deserving of such disgrace I
never knew. From childhood she
has been under my eye. and since
reaching womanhood she has had mv
sincere admiration and affection. I
cherish for her a pure feeling such as
a geutleiinrn might honorably offer to
a Uhristian wnmtn. and which she
might receive ami reciprocate without
moral scruple I reject with indig
nation every imputation which re
flects upon her honor or my own.
My regard for Mrs Tilton was perfect
ly well known to my family, and
when serious troubles sprang up in
her household it win to my wife that
she resorted for counsel, both of us.
acting from .sympathy and as it subse
quently appeared, without full knowl
edge, gave unadvised coui sel which
tended to harm I have no doubt
that Mr. Tilton found his wife's o n
fldence and reliance upon my judg
ment had greatly iiiTeaaeii while bi.s
influence bad diminished, iu conse
quence of a marked change in his re
ligious and social views which was
taking place during those yar. Her
mind was greatly exercised lest her
children should be harmed by the
views which she deemed virtually
false and dangerous. I wiw suddenly
and rudely aroused to the reality of
the impending danger by the disclos
ure of domestic distress, of sickness,
perhaps unto death, of likelihood of
separation, and the scattering of a
family every member of which I had
tenderly loved. The effect upon inu
of this discovery of the state of Mr.
Tilton's feelings, and the condition of
his family, surpassed in sorrow and
excitement anything that I had ever
experienced in my life; that my pres
ence, influence and council had
brought to a heloved family sorrow
and alienation gave, in my then state
of mind, a poignancy to my suffering
which I hope no other man ma' ever
feel. Even to be suspected of having
offered, through privileges of it peeul
larlv filtered relation, an indecorum to
a wife and mother, could not hut deep
ly wound one who is .-ensitive to the
honor of womanhood. Thero were
private reasons for alarms iu this case
on other grounds, in as much as I
was then subject to certain malignant
rumors, and a flagrant outbreak in
this family would bring upon them
an added injury, derived from these
shameless falsehoods. Believing at
the time my presence and counsels
had tended however unconsciously,
to produce asocial catastrophe repre
sented as imminent. I gave expression
to mv feelings in an interview with a
mutual friend, not in cold aud callous
self-defending words, but etgerly tak
ing the blame upon myself and pour
ing nut my heart to my friend in the
strongest language, overburdened
with the exaggerations of impu.-sioned
sorrow. Had been the evil man Mr
Tilton now represents, I should have
been calmer aud more prudent.' It
was my horror of this evil imputed
that filled me with morbid inten-ity
at the very shadow of it. Not only
was my friend affected generously
but he assured me thai such expres
sions, if conveyed to Mr. Tilton.
would soothe the wounded feelings, al
lay the anger aud heat of the whole
trouble. lie took down sentences
and fragments of what I hud been
saying, to use them as a mediator. A
full statement of the circumstance
under which this memorandum was
made, I shall give to the itivestigting
committee. That these apologie
were more than ample to meet the
facts in thn case is evident; that they
were accepted ; that our intercourse
resumed its friendliness; that Mr.
Tilton ratified it iu writing, and that
he has continued for four years, and
until two weeks, to live with bi.s wife.
Is it conceivable, if the original charge
had been what is now alleged, that
he would have coudoued the offense,
not only with the molherof his child
len. but with him whom lie believed
to have wronged them? The absurd
ity, as well as the falsity, of this atnry
is apparent when it is considered that
Mr. Tilton now alleges that he car
ried this guilty secret of his wife's
infidelity for six months locked up in
his own breast, and thut he divulged
it to me, only that there might be a
reconciliation with me. Mr. Tilton
has since, in every form of language
and to a multitude of witnesses, oral
iy. iu written statements aud in point
ted documents, declared his faith in
his wife's purity. After that recon
ciliation, the considerations of nronri-
ety and honor demanded that thefam
ily troubles should he kept iu that se
clusion which domestic affairs have a
rigtit to claim. I do not propose to
analyze and contest at this time the"
extraordinary paper of Mr. Tilton
Hut there are two allegations which
I cannot permit to pass without spec
ial notice. They refer to the nnlv
minimum wuiuii iur niton pre-
iewi
the
the other a chamber scene in his own
house. His statements concerning
these are absolutely false. Nothing
of the kind ever jcnurred. nor any
semblance of any amih thing. They
are now brought to nay notice for the
u
nrst time. To every statement which
connects me dishonorably wit-h Mrs
Tilton. or wh eh in any wise would
impugn the honor and puritv of this
beloved Christian woman. T give the
most explicit, comprehensive and sol
emn denial.

She Threatens an Earthqnnlie thai

Mrs. Victoria Wood hull recently
arrived iu New York, and was imme
diately besieged by reporters for the
press. One gives the following result
of an interview with her:
Reporter- Mjs. WoodhuII, you are
a warm friend of Mr. Tilton. What
have you to say about the present
state of affairs between him and Mr.
RttcllGr '
Mrs. WoodhuII (with Tiltonic fren
zy In her eye) My time I not yet
I shall have much to say. Oh. this is
awful! awful! But I will keep silent
a little longei. Why, botlf ijIoe3aPe
telling the most awful lies. Every
one is asking me to speak out. But I
let them exhaust themselves, and
then I will astonish the world by ra
revelations.
R. (checking hpr race-horse volu
bility) You ought ti know some
thing about it, us you are so intimate
with Mr. Tilton' He was your lover,
was he not?
W. My lover! Well, my opinions
are well known, and I have no reas
on to conceal that Mr. Tilton and I
were very dear friends this spoken
bitterly and I know much ; hut
what I do know cannot be told as yet.
Oh. VtfS. I know Theodore.
R. So we have read here of late.
You know him intimately.
W. (with flushed cheek and flam
ing eye) E have cm east to throw
light on this horrid deceit. I do know
Mr. Tilton; know his inmost feel
ings. Hu has begun the battle nobly,,
but he must have energy to fight it
out. When both sides have exhaust
ed themselves, i shall be heard from,
and1 oh ! but I can hardly restrain
myself in the face of such subterfuge
and lying. Why, my friend, I wish
I could dare at this time to speak out
to you franklv all I know. It is time
the mask -should be torn off. I care
little about the jargon spoken as re
gards Beecher's relations with Mn.
Tilton. I want to show, ami will
show, that Beecher is as much a free
lover as Theodore Is, and it is time
the world should understand the mat
ter in it true light.
R. You claim to have strong evi
dence that Beecher believes in and
ha practiced free love doctrines?
W Well. I must positively refuse
to say now what proof I have; but
the time is near when I shall speak
out. and the community will tand
agbat at the hypocrisy of Mr Beech
er. But I shall speak out at the prop
er time.
