the Secretary of the Treasury
against the cii culation of a certain
advertisement of a Peoria hotel,
which is priuted in close imita
tion of a five-dollar greenback.
"The letter is signed 'Justicia,' and
declares that the whole country is
flooded vith these advertisements,
and they are passed on the country
people as genuine money, and the
swindlers decamp before the fraud
is discovered. Justicia wants the
beeretary to put his foot down and
stop this violation of law, and con

" The Golden Age of SaturJay next
will contain the valedictory of Mr.
Tilton, yo resigns tlie editorial
cliarge to Mr. W. F. Clarke. It'will
also contain a further article on the
'Tilton-Beccher, scandal, which those
who have it rnterpfet'as quite a let
ting down on Tilton's part.
The following are tho important
points m his second remarkable let
ter, which" the Golden Age says is
written to correct any misapprehen
sion created by the letter to l)r.
Bacon. Ho had been assailed by
Dr. Bacon, who was led to believe
that he was a scandal-monger and
fabsifier, who had tried to ruin the
most beloved of ministers. Tilton's
character and standing as a man
among men, were involved, and si
lence 6n his part as to acknowl
edge the justice of Dr. Bacon's as
persions, and the erroneous state
ments by vhicIP they were
appointed. One sentence from
Beecher's lips or pen "would have
drawn .the poisonous arrow and
healed the smart. Mr. Tilton called
Mr. Beecher's attention to the of
fensive statements, and in the pres
ence of two witnesses told him tha
unless he coirected the misrepresen
tations in his way it would be ne
cessary to correct them in his own
way, which voulti be severe. "NYeeks
passed and no correction was made.
Longer silence was impossible.
Mr. Tilton is accused of intending
to striko Mr. Beecher a staggering
if not fatal blow. "Whoever reads
this letter with caro, will see that
he studiously refrained .from strik
ing uny blow at all, .save at the
thick net.work of calumny and
misrepresentations that had been
adroitly woven for his own entan
glement aud ultimate destruc
tion. His sole purpose was
first to save himself and after
years, p silence and endurance,
when longer silpnee and endurance
would have bepn" fatal, ajn jo re
gained from mentioning Mr.
Beecher at all, except as it was
necessary to do so, in order to net
himself right. HN reticence in
this respect deserves commendation.
If it were necessary to life tho cur
tain and expose the serious, clls
iiig'enious, and inexcusable trans
action; jn order to vjijdijwite hijn.
sclf, ho was not to blame. The way
is open, if PlyrooutKC'hiircJ) and Mr.
Beecher M'Jeh to YU'djeate them,
selves. Mr. Tilton does not wish to
injure Mr. Beecher, .amL hence ro
frulns froni the publication of that
letter. Ho would nut rj&e by Mr.
Beecher's ruin if he could,
He regretted having been forced
to say anything about the matter,
but Sir. JJcep her's friends were to
blame. With the frca.ndalitseli, we
Jiave nothing to do. ' Tliat is a
matter for Plymouth Church and
its pastor to deal with. If there is
a skeleton in tho closet they will
probably hasten to open the door,
and let daylight shine through its
dark places. Webster said that
suicide under weight of an accusa
tion, was a confession of guilt.
There are circumstances in which
silence is suicide. But one thing in
this wl10Jp matter is so conspicu
ous and gra'u'd, that it deserves the
notice it has not received. -"We re.

solicitude of the America peop'e

A quarter of a century

in a lit of frenzy does not counter
balance a whole life of purhy and
sprvjee. He is only blamciole tor
not npknowjedgjng squarely what
he does not deny and for allowing

Tho new constitutional bill drawn
by the sub-conlmittee of the com
mittee of SO, no provision is made
for a successor to the President, and
it is thought that tho object of the
omission is to have an opjiortunity
for the restoration of monarchy,
which may be possible when the
Scptennate ceases.

Dispatches from Spain report that
the Republican troops are badly
excited over the reports of the mur

by the Carlists, and it is feared that
they will make a disorderly retreat.
Several accounts represent that the
Carlists were on the point of rfr

killed.

The committee of the Assembly
has prepared a new constitutional

Mahon to dissolve the Assembly
without the concurrence of the

London, July 1.
In the House of Commons last
evening Dr. Butt moved his resolve
in favor of homo rule for Ireland.
He maintained the home rule in
volved no disturbance of the consti
tution. The imperial parliament
in whioh Ireland would, still repre
sented would have power to tax the
resources of Ireland 'as well as of
Great Britain. Since the union, Ire
land has always been imperious
and dissatisfied. He acknowledged
efibrts have been made to redress
her grievances, but these had failed,
and always would fail, because real
liberty was denied. By restoring
constitutional rights content and
prosperity would be established
throughout the countrj.
The attorney-general for Ireland
gave a decided and emphatic nega
tive to all the propositions which
Dr. Butt hfif mjvaiipefj. Tjjo pres
ent proposals was lufinftcly more
dangerous to tje peace and pns
perity of the country than the de
maud for tho repeal of the Union,
A collision of the Jmmerial and
Irish Parliaments would be Inevita
ble, particularly on the questions of
eoniuierce and finance. The pro
posed aciiotj would pndanger "the

New ioric, July 2.
George Ellis, President of the
Commonwealth National Bank,
which suspended during the Sep

on a bench warrant, issued on an
indictment found against him by
the grand jury, charging him with
embezzling $35,000 of the bank's
funds.
Several ?niinent physicians here
have closely watched the case of R.
L. Entmistle, who tlied at Bellcvue
hospital this morning of supposed
hydrophobia. Dr. Hammond says
there is little room to doubt but that
Entmistle died ot hydrophobia, or,
in other words, a dread of hydro
phobia. Several others have the same
opinion, while a few consider deli
rium tremens the cause.
James P. Sanders, the lawyer
who wassL t in the court room yes

parties in tlie case, is recovering.
Considerable excitement was
caused in Wall street to-day at the
close of business owing to a report
that a meeting of representatives of
prominent western roads had just
conclued an agreement cutting
down the through passenger and
freight rates about fifty per cent:,
and which was to go into effect at

the part of the roa Is was dullness of

He directed tho first assist

some documents, which were pre

any questions or decide on matters,
except as were necessary to keop
the department in working condi
tion. Private advfpes frorn Texas say
the "recent "experiments niaile to
dti'epen tho channel' in the bay of
Corpus Christl have proved a
failure.
Railroadmen, owners of the im
mense coal fields, and the capitalists
of southwestern Texas and eastern
Mexico have selected Rockport as
the point best suited for navigation
purposes. To railroads have been
chartered by the State, with liberal
subsidies, both "to teminato in New-
Mexico at Lerado, one from Corpus
Christl, and one from Rockport.
Owing, however, to the failure to
deepen the channel at Corpus Chris ti
the latter road will probably not be
built. The need of a road in this
region has had great weight with
the gqvornrnent n anorqing assis
tance ror" its construction. Capital
ists from the Pacific coast and Mex
ico are interesting themselves in the
matter.
