Henry C. Fox, Chm. J. E. Markle, Sec. Mongrel Ticket. ' For sometime we have warned our Republican friends to be on the lookout for the same kind of a game, played very successfully several years ago during the existence of the "Free Soil" party, by the Democracy coalescing with that party and inducing its members to unite with them on a mixed ticket composed of both parties the result being the election of the Democratic dickercrs, and the defeat of the Free Soil candidates; thus showing that when men "dicker with the devil, they are sure of being cheated!" Last Saturday, at Centreville, the Democracy struck up a trade with the "Grangers," and the result was the nomination of the following ticket, and we miss our guess if somebody isn't cheated this time, when the votes are counted at the fall election, should this ticket continue ia the field until then: Senator, Joseph M. Bulla, Rep.; Representatives, John Allen, Dent., Wilson Dennis, Lib.; Clerk, Isaac Commons, Rep.; Treasurer, John H. Moormann, Dem.; Auditor, Caleb W. King, Rep.; Recorder, B. B. Whisler, Lib.; Sheriff, Jonathan J arret t. Lib,; Prosecuting Attorney, A. B. Young, Dem.; Assessor, J. W. Swafford, Rep.; Coroner, Jesse Fox, Rep.; Surveyor, Robert C. Shute, Rep.; Commissioner, Eastern District, Nelson Crow, Rep.; Commissioner, Western District, Henry S. Kidd, Dem. The extreme modesty displayed by the Democracy in the composition of this ticket, is truly commendable oaly lour out of fourteen! Why, where 's the dissatisfied Republican, desiring office, who wouldn't "dicker" at this rate and take the proffered "boot" as a bargain? Just now, however, there' a cause for this liberality, and it consists in the fact that a United State's Senator is to be elected by the next Legislature, and, if the Democrats can succeed ia electing John Allen to the Legislature, one vote is secured for a Democratic United States Senator from old Vayne,which, you see, is clear gain To accomplish this gain, they'd give every office to be elected at the fall election, and our only wonder is, that any other Democrat received a place on the ticket. We can only account for it from the fact that the candidates nominated for Treasurer and Frosecuting Attorney, are such simon-pure "grangers," that it was impossible to overlook their claims especially those of our friend J. II. Moorman. He is no "middle-man" of course not and that's the reason why he was selected, we judge, in order to please the "grangers!" Humbuggery, thy name is "Wayne-County-Democraey & Gran-ger-Ticket-Making!!" d-0' mi All the saloon keepers of Terre Haute have agreed to observe the section of the law stopping the sale of drinks after nine o'clock. Exchange. If we had a Mayor here in Richmond, who wasn't trying to accommo- . date his official action to the declaration in the Democratic platform that "the Baxter Law is a failure," the saloon keepers here would be compelled to observe that same section of the law.

A Colaeldenee. In the midst of the bloody conflict brought about by and through one of the most potent agents of the Democratic party slavery tho Democratic National Convention met, and solemnly resolved that " the war was a failure," and thereupon almost every member of the 'unterrified Democracy' throughout the land, went to work, and, in every conceivable , way that their ingenuity could devise, endeavored to bring about a "failure," by causing many of the "boys in blue" to desert, etc. ; but, thank God, we had a Lincoln and Grant at the helm, and a host of patriotic hearts to back them, and the infernal machinations of the Democratic party were brought to naught peace was conquered the Union preserved, and we became that which the immortal Declaration of Independence proclaimed we were as a people : " FREE AND INDEPENDENT." Now, in the midst of a war on drunkenness, and all the evils flowing from tho drunkard manufactories throughout the land, this same Democratic party meet in convention at Indianapo

lis, and, for the purpose of propping up another of its efficient party agents and twin brother to slavery liquor selling and drinking solemnly resolve that the " Baxter Bill has proved a failure 1" using the same language nearly indentical with its National Convention in 18G4, regarding the war for the Union and against that other human slavery! Thereupon, the party hacks thro'out the State the leaders return. home and do everything in their power to bring about a total failure in that law, so as to prove their words good! We trust their efforts will be brought to naught in this moral warfare in like manner with the war they pronounced a failure in 1864, and that our State may ere long be freed from this "gall of bitterness" (the liquor traffic) and " the bonds of iniquity," by which many of our people are bound, may be shaken off, wholly and forever ! , The Democracy declared in their platform that the "Baxter law has proven a failure," a declaration which avery man of common intelligence knows is a falsehood. Is a law a failure which reduces the number of saloons in the State, from over 2,000 to about fourteen hundred, and in many communities, shuts up every saloon? Where Democracy is in the ascendent, and its leaders counsel total disregard of the provisions of the law. they may justly declare it a failure. If it is a failure, why do we find the irce whisky men everywhere favoring a license law, which will cost them hundreds of dollars for license unless it is that they expect it will contain fewer restrictions upon intemperance, and afford greater profits in the traffic. V incennes limes. True, Mr. Times, every word of it; for there's not a day nor scarcely an hour transpiring in our whisky-cursed city, that our salary-grabbing Mayor fails to wink at the violations of the law. We have not the least doubt) knowing as he does that whisky constitutes the stiffening in the spinal column of the Democratic party, as THE leader of it in our city, he never fails to counsel a "total disregard of the provisions of the law," in order to make it a "failure" here, so as to conform with the declaration in the Platform quoted by the Times, and thus prove to the world that the "Baxter Law" does no good. TIMELY LETTERS. No. 2. Class Legislature. The ultimate object as a general rule in the formation of political parties, is success through the power of majorities. A party organized with any other object in view, is neither a benefit to the country nor to those concerned, and is to often the offspring of a mere spirit of perverseness. A great people cannot organize political parties, and in such organizations, carry out the particular views of indi viduals. While people may differ in opinions, yet the public welfare do mands that they be not over tenacious, for it is only through sacrifice and compromise that a generalization of principles can be effected. Visions and speculations cannot be regarded by the governing power. 1 n a government like ours there are so many ends to be accomplished, so many interests to subserve, so many opinions and judgments to consult, that it is well nigh impossible tor a political parly to be just and succeed, and, yet no party can afford to be unjust. The true theory of a political party in power should be to protect the interest of the public, taken as a whole; in doing this it will protect all its parts that deserve protection. The farmer, the mechanic and the banker, all have rights that must be regarded, and these rights are relative and dependent. One cannot be fostered and protected, and the others neglected, for the prosperity of the Nation depends upon the existence of all. Class Legislation is always unjust and fraught with danger. The preferment of a particular class can only be at the expense of others, and will always, as it ought, meet with determined opposition; law givers should not be " respectors of persons." The farmer and the mechanic cannot array themselves against tho capitalist with any profit to themselves, neither can the capitalist afford to array himself against the industrial classes, for the relations are so intimate and dependent, that one cannot spare the friendship of the other, and he is a bad counselor who would create, or encourage strife between them. The party that endeavors to harmonize all by protecting all, commands the respect of the people. In this, as in other countries, it is usual for certain classes to associate themselves to gether in leagues and unions. This is natural enough, for among tho mem bers of every trade and profession an affinity exists, naturally springing out

of a community of interests. So long as the objects of such associations are confined to the development of the various arts and industries, they are laudable and praisworthy, and should be encouraged, but when they go beyond this, and seek to manipulate and control political matters, then thej cannot be commended. The formation of a political party in the interest of a particular class must be recognized as dangerous in its tendencies. : If such a party should be successful in getting control of the law mak ing power, it may be inferred that it would legislate in the especial interest of that class and the result would be the establishment of a favoritism at the expense, and to the detriment of others. Such a course would be justly condemned. No political party can meet with permanent success, that takes the field in the interest of a particular trade or profession, and the reason is obvions enough, there are many trades and professions in this country, and the preferment of one ia the persecution of others. That

party can alone succee J that compre hends the interests of ail and excludes none. The farmer can well say to the law maker, 'the prosperity of the nation in a measure depends upon me, therefore I demand your impartial pro tection; ' but he cannot say, 'my inter ests are pcramount to all others, there fore prefer me.' All are interested in the success and prosperity of the agricultural classes, so are the agricultural classes equally interested in the success and welfare of the art3 and sciences. The farmer and the mechanic are nearly related, and experience has proven, that the relations between them, are not the proper subjects of legislation. These relations must ad just themselves, and the legislator can no more regulate and control them, than he can regulate and control the supply and demand in an article of commerce. Corruption and abuse are the proper subjects of legislative restraint. If legislation goes beyond this it will n suit in injury. Success in the industrial and commercial pursuits of the country is beyond the control of written laws. These pursuits have "a law unto themselves," as unyielding and unchanjrable as a principle in nature, and the wise legislator will not attempt to interfere therewith. Art and industry may be encouraged :ind facilities afforded by legislation, but their success and prosperity depend upon the unyielding laws of supply and demand. This subject is important, and is engaging much attention at this time on account of the extraordinary organizations and combinations now being formed in this country. As to the object of some of these organizations, and the proper method of accomplishing the ends desired, I will have something to say in a future letter. Uncs. The Til (on Slander. We ha?e, on our ;first page, publish ed the statement of Henry Ward Beechcr, denying totally and specially the foul charges and insinuations against him, sworn to and presented to the Investigating Committee. We have no disposition to soil the Palla dium by publishing the slanderous utterances of Tilton in detail; but, tor a proper understanding of the case by those of our readers who have not waded through the sickening mess, and, also, the proper understanding of Mr. Beecher'a denial of Tilton's alle gations, we copy the following " sum mingup" by himself (Tilon) of those charges: "Namely, that the Rev. Ilenrv Ward Beecher, a' pastor and friend ot lheo dore Tilton and family, trespassed on sanctity and hospitality to seduce JMr Elizabeth 11. lilton; that, by arttul use of his priestly authority with her, she being his pupil in religion, he ac complished this seduction; that, for a period ot a year and a halt, or there about, -he maintained criminal inter course with her, overcoming her pre vious' modest scruples against such conduct, by investing it with false justification as sanctioned by love and religion; that he then participated in a conspiracy to degrade Theodore Til ton in public, by loss of place, of busi ness and repute; that he abused Mr. Tilton's forgiveness by authorizing a series of measures by Plymouth Church, having for their object the putting ot a stigma uiKn jlr. lilton before the church, and also before an ecclesiastical council, in so much that the moderator of that council, interiretin2 those acts by Sir. Boecher and his church, declared publicly that they showed Mr. Beecher to be the most magnanimous ot men, and Dir. Tilton to be a knave and a doer: that when Mr. Tilton, not lor revenge, hut for self-protection, wrote a letter to Dr. Bacon, alluding therein to an offense and apology by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, he (iUr. Beejher) de fiantly appointed a committee ol his church members to inquire into the iniurv done him by Mr. lilton by the aforesaid allusion, and implying that he (31r. Beecher) had never been the author of such offense and apology, and that Mr. Tilton was a slanderer; that, to make this inquiry bear eener allv acainst Mr. Tilton, Mr. Beecher previously connived with Sirs. iu. K. Tilton to give false testimony in his (Mr. Beecher's) behalf; that Mr. Beecher s course toward 31 r. lilton and family has at last resulted in the open destruction or 31r. lilton s house hold and the desolation of his heart and life." We hear it frequently alluded to, by way of throwing a doubt as to the im partiality of the committee of investigation, that Mr. Beecher had selected said committee, and, hence, they were his particular friends and would shield him at the expense of truth and jus tice. We publish the following letters from Mr. B., making the appointment and giving his reasons therefor, and the concurrence also of the Examining Committee ot the Church in the selection thus made, together with the character and standing of the gentlemen composing the committee, which precludes any possibility that the investigation could be otherwise than fair and impartial:

TWO LETTEBS FROM MR. BEECHER. The letters here given will explain themselves. We give them in the order of date: Brooklyn, June 27, 1874. Gentlemen: In the present state of the public feeling, I owe it to my friends, and to the Church and Society over which I am pastor, to have some proper investigation made of the rumors, insinuations, or charges made respecting my conduct, as compromised by the late publication made by Mr. Tilton. I have thought that both the Church and Society should be represented; and I take the liberty of asking the following gentlemen to serve in this inquiry, and to do that; which truth and justice may require. I beg that each of the gentlemen named will con sider this letter as if it had been separately and personally sent to him, namely: From the Church. Henry W. Sage, Augustus Storrs, Henry M. Cleveland. From the Society. Horace B. Claflin, John Winslow, S. V. White. 1 desire you, when you have satisfied yourselves by an impartial and thorough examination of all sources of evidence, to communicate to the Examining Committee, or to the Church, such action as may then seem to you right and wise. Henuy Ward Beecher. To Messrs. Sage, Claflin,and others. Having ascertained the willingness of these gentlemen to serve as requested, Mr. Beecher addressed the following leltor to the Examining Committee of Plymouth Church: July G, 1874. Dear Brethren: I inclose to you a letter in which I

have requested three gentlemen from the Church and three from the Socie ty of Plymouth Church (gentlemen of unimpeachable repute, and who have not been involved in any of the trials through which we have passed during the year) to make a thorough and impartial examination of all charges or insinuations aeainst my rood name, and to report ihe same to you, and I now respectfully request that you will give to this Committee the authority to act in your behalt also. It seemed wise to me that the request should proceed from me, and without your foregoing knowledge, and that you should eive to it authority to act in vour behalf in so far as a thorough investigation of the facts should be concerned. Henry ard Beecher. The Examining Committee, recog nizing the representative character of the men thus appointed, unanimously adopted the action ot the pastor, and formally authorized the gentlemen named to act as a Committee on its behalf, and report the result of their inquiry for its information and further action. - The committee commenced its work on Monday, June 20th, aui will pros ecute it to the earliest possible com pletion. MEMBERS OP THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. The information given below con cerning the gentlemen composing the Committee of Inquiry is taken from the daily papers, hut m reproducing t the Christian Lmon endorses its correctness: Henry W. huge is a deacon of the Church and a trustee of the Society. As a business man and a citizen he is widely known. He is an extensive dealer in lumber; a man of unbending integrity and recognized business sa gacity. His liberality is attested by his giving gltMWU to tound the .Lyman Beecher Lectureship on Preach ing" in Yale College; Xl.000 to iound the "fca.ee Collet e tor Women in Cornell University; ?40,000 toward the building of a church in Ithaca, N. Y.. his former home, and by his gen erous and discriminating private char ities. Augustus Storrs. of the commission house of Storrs Brothers, is a man known and respected in-Brooklyn aud in business circles in New York. He is a member of the Plymouth Church Hoard of Trustees, Treasurer of the Society; a man of ample means, and kind, charitable disposition, clear , 1 i 11 A- 1 ense, ana consistent nrisiian charac ter. Henry M. Cleveland was originally a Connecticut man, and did good ser vice a few years since on the btate Board of Education. lie has been a member of Plymouth Church some fourteen years, is a member ot the fc.xamininc Committee, ana in Dusi- ... i ness is a keen-sighted, genial, honorable man. He is a member of the large paper house of II. C. Hulbcrt At Co. Horace B. Clanin, one of the Trus tees of the Society (and, with the ex ecption ot its President, James Free land, the oldest member ot that Board in service, not in years), lias always been known as one of tho foremost men in the affairs of the Society, one whose generosity, integrity and ability are facts of public knowledge. John Winslow is the District At torney for Kings county, appointed by Governor Dix, and is a member of the law firm of Van Colt & Winslow in this city. He is a sound lawyer, a respected citizen, an honest man. His partner, Judge Van Colt, is a leading member of the Church of the Pilgrims (Dr. Ii. S. Storrs), and . was on the special committee calling the late Con gregational Council. S. V. White, the Church Treasurer is prominently active in all the 1 ly mouth Church and Sabbath Schoo work. He is a banker and broker in New York, a man of high reputation for integrity and success. Merciless Jndges. One of the most notable phases of the Beecher Tilton business ia the eagerness with which men and women making no profession to correctness of life are, and have been ready to believe the worst. and to condemn without mercy. There is room for phylosophy in this. We had occasion to remark darincr the investigation and painful dis closures of the Credit Mobilier Iransaction, that the swiftest and surest accusers were those whose whole careers were reeking with sins of a ten-fold greater character The guilt of some of those connected with that affair was at the very worst extremely doubtful, and yet 'crucify him! crucify him!" rang out from the deus of infamy, and was echoed from the haunts of vice, until a man could imagine that the only persons whose sensibilities were shocked were the rogues whose rascalities had been thus faintly counterfeited. Can some one explain why, if every word of Mr. Tilton's story be true, tho roues of society should be so shocked? They say it is because he has acted the hypocrite, and has professed to be what he is not

But are they not also living liveB of hypocrisy? Do they give out their sins to tho public?- Do they lay

their actions bare before the world! Are not their liaisons concealed as fair as may be from the eyes of in jured husbands, parents, and cn.il dren? 'r irst cast the beam troni thine own eyes" is a righteous com mand which it would : be well to observe. But it is perhaps just that sins of this character and by such parties should receive the rebuke of even the worst of mankind. When a man who has stood aloft in society commits an offense which even the rabble rebuke, the sting and the punishment are in deed great. It will be noted, how ever, that at the bottom of all this outcry of the soild and polluted mob is the pernicious and defam atory assertion that all virtuous professions are shams, all religion a cloak, all goodness hypocrisy. This was Ihe assertion of the shame less Woodhull and her Etill more shameless sister on Wednesday in this cily. It is the assertion of all whose own degraded lives make them long to drag others down to the level of their own immorality. But these infamous men and still more infamous women may as well understand that efforts will be un availing. The old principle of virtue, which comes to us like the benediction of the dying, which taught the ancient fathers and mothers of the race that its loss could only be wiped out in death, is still abroad in the hearts of the people, and will not bo destroyed though a thousand ministers should fall and twice a " thousand wives forget their fealty. The rebound from the blow inflicted by the fall of Mr. Beecher, if fall it is, will send this standard of human excellence higher and fix it more inflexibly in the hearts of good men anil women than ever before. Such a sad, trying example may indeed be needed to warn the people of the dangerous tendencies of the age. If freelove, with all its damnable heresies, its destruction of all that ia best and loveliest, in mankind, seeks to raise itself upon this latest scandal and, gaining immunity from this example, strike its poisonous fangs into the heart of society, let an indignant people frown it down. The children of this generation have had enough of evil and corrupting example. Be it the pait of good men and women, high or low, to teach the world that there is virtue, honor, decency still left in the land. There is a hope, and we entertain it most gladly, that Mr. Beecher is not guilty of the orTense charged, and we :3hall after all be spared the sad spectacle of his fall. There is no event that could so rejoice the hearts of the people, and proof of his inocence would be hailed with acclamation from one end of the land to the other. By the side of his vindication a hundred Tiltons are nothing, and we wait anxiously, almost nervously, for his explana tion. That it may meet the expec tation of those who have so long oved and reverenced him is the prayer that springs to the lips of millions. Inter Ocean, July 24. CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS. Oar Candidate for Congress. Although disappointed in not getting the roan of our choice to make the race for Congress in this District, yet we are very well sat:shed with the result. Hon. 13. I. Claypool is a gentleman of culture and. unquestionable ability, and his powerful voice and strong argument have been heard all ovei this county again and again. His long and successful practice of the law has given him a large insip-ht into human nature, and a general acquaintance with the people of our district, lie is a man of large business experi ence, and being a general observer and close reader, he is thoroughly posted on the business wants of our country. He has always been pos sessed of a considerable amount of ambition, and he has ever made it his aim to be thoroughly posted upon all the affairs ol our country, and to day there is no question that in terests us as a people but he is ac quainted with and maintains decided views upon. From conversations which we have had with him, we believe him to be in perfect sympa thy with the people who are in any way oppressed and in his heart he is ieady to do what he can for their relief. In a word, we believe he would make us a true representative and as such shall labor to secure his ! election. i In conclusion, we would say to every true Republican in Franklin county, put on the armor at once ; let the work begin. Principles are at stake remember, and no true man will let any prejudice riso above principle. Tbe foe of the greatest and best party that has ever guard ed the interests of our beloved country, comes into the field pro fessing entire confidence in their man's ability to win the day, aud they will make a desperate effort towards success. But we have only to stick to the principles that have done ho much to make our nation the foremost among the nations of the earth, to maintain our position and come on" victorious. Then let no man falter or hesitate at the beginning, because you did not get the man of your first choice, but wheel at once into the ranks, do your duty, and B. F. Claypool will carry tie old Republican banner safely through the campaign. Brookville American. Rainey, the negro Congressman from South Carolina, tried to force himself into the dining room of Barratt's Hotel, Suffolk, Va., on Wednesday last. The clerk stopped him at the door and told him that negroes could not eat with white people, and he would send his breakfast out to him. Rainey became so violent in his expressions that the clerk took him by the collar and showed him out.

PAYABLE IN NOW IS THE TIME Fiendish Outrage In Lawrencebtirfr. Lawuenceburq, Ind., July 24 Night before last a man named Win. Dinnings, a married man and a resident of this place, committed a horrible outrage on the person of a little twelve year old girl named Josephine Uudd. The little girl, who lives next door, had been iu Dinnings' during the evening, and he. taking advantage of the absence of his wife from the room for a 8hort time, nut out the lights and committed the outrage. Dinnings jumped the town just in time to avoid the wreaking of summary vengeance upon him by the excited people. A dross Outrage Avenged by a Mob. St. Louis, J uly 23. A man named Hall Grubb committed a gross outrage on a woman at Wat hens, Kansas. on Tuesday. Yesterday he was sent to jail at Troy in charce of a constable and guards. The wagon containing the prisoner was followed by an excited crowd of men and women, on foot, on horseback, and in waerons. the former armed with guns and revolvers, the latter carrying ropes, and demand ing revenge. When about a mile from Wathena, Grubb sprang from the wagon and attempted to escape, but was immediately riddled with bullets and instantly killed. One of the crowd following the wagon, named MePherson, received one of the shots fired by the mob, and was mortally wounded. A woman riding toward Wathena, and not connected with the crowd, was thrown from her horse aud perhaps fatally injured. The address of the Congressional Republican Executive Committee shows that the ordinary expenditures of the Government that is, excluding the interest on the national debt and other expenses directly resulting from the rebellion have been reduced to a less amount than during the last year of Democratic rule, under Buchanan in 1860. And yet the truly independent Commercial complacently observes that this nianitesto "fails to account satisfactorily for the vast increase of the Government expenditures under the present Administration!" And the "truly independent" says a good deal more in this connection equally intelligent and impartial. It is a great thing to be truly independent! Cincinnati Times. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America has four Bishops, fifteen annual conferences, 607 travel ing "preachers," 74,799 members, 335 Sunday schools, 1,102 teachers, 49,956 scholars, and is endeavoring to establish a school for the education of its young ministers. . To Remove Ants. The following is a very simple means of removing ants, particular ly when they are found in houses : Cook a quantity of prunes, making a strong decoction; pour the jnice into a vessel, and place it where the ants are; the insects attracted by the juice, fall into the vessel and are drowned; repeat the operation until all are removed.' "When the trees are attacked by ants, use the same remedy; put vessels containing the juice of prunes at the foot of the trees and the best re suits are obtained. To prevent the heat from souring the juice whose odor attracts the ants, keep the vessels in the shade, or set them out after sunset. J.

For the information of the public, a few words of explanation is necessary for the general use of the Balm, to show that one medicine can be used beneficially for th different diseases of the human system. No medicine cures disease, but merely assists nature, when judiciously administered. The reason why the Balm acts successfully upon various diseases, is, that it is entirely vegetable, having neither mineral, narcotic, nor deadly poison In its compound; it is, therefore, an antidote for all poisons, and its nervine stimulating power acta directly upon the nerves nnd capillary system, which gives Immediate circulation of the arterial blood through tbe diseased parts, which is the true stimulant and true purifier of the system, and its tree circulation must produce health in any diseased organ of the system.

Navy Dear Sir: The hearer. Dr. Forsha, is the person of whom I spoke to you yesterday, as a man of wonderful powers, in the practical relief ol pain and the cure of the worst of wound and diseases. One of his successes has been in my own house. My son (a cadet of West Point) has lieen cured by Dr. F. In less than a week, after having been without relief, in charge of a physician whom I know to be a good one, for more than eight weeks. I think that humanity and the public Interest require, that the hard cases-i. e., badly wounded and obstinately siefe should have the opportunity, when they desire it, to avail themselves of Dr. F.'s ability, and of his medicine, whieh seems to have a wonderful efflcacv. Most respectfully, EDWARD BATES. Letter from the Hon. Edward Ratea, Attorney General United States to Hon. M. Blair, Postmaster General United States.
