At the conclusion of Mrs. Wallace's address, a temperance dialogue was recited in a very creditable manner by Masters Brown and Smith. ... On motion of Mr. Nicholson, a committee of one from each town, ship was appointed by the chair to report resolutions, as follows: , Abingtbn,' Charles Hunt; Boston, John J. Conely; Clay, J. W.

Ray, Ksq.; delivered a speech, full of excellent and irrefutable argument, and re-, plete with statistical information,, showing the fearful'cost to the peo-! pie of the State, in dollars and cents, flowing from the' accursed traffic in intoxicating beverages, besides the terrible waste of life, and untold crinte, woe and miserj, constantly' flowing . from this fountain-head of nearly every evil now seourging and afflicting our country.'. Mr. Ray spoke a little over two hours-and-a-half, and his speech was listened to with a patience and quiet that attested the deep and

abiding interest with which the speak-

er presented tho subject. Rev. A. Marine, of IV WantA - made a few remarks,; ia; which he gajp a quiet picturo of th opponents ei the cauee of ieinpcrenoe, and exhorted the friends of the cause to continue the -life-battle against this giant evil of intemperance, and to assist in gaining the victory the ballot in the hands of - woHiaa would jrove efficacious."

Baxter was called fori and excused himself from making any extended remarks, owing to the lateness of the hour; but he completed the task Col. Ray , left unfinished by putting saloon .keepers to hatching out chickens, if nothing else could - be done with the'in,' by clothing them with breeches stuffed full of feathers -that being the only, way in which they could be made useful to society. ...

Opinion r k Know All Far'.V !. ' 4 ' iV 'Mr. Henry B. BlackweU's Editcrial ft the Woman's Journal. M J During the past three years a wicked attempt has been persistently made by the advocate of free love to' de stroy the reputation of an estimable lady and an eminent Christian mini?, ter. -Detraction, like"" deaths, loveB a shining mark, and those who advocate, license seek td trove1 that all men and women are licentious. Meanwhile

the omens Journal has remained silent ; not because we have feared to speak, but because we did not choose to incrMMtbeermilatioti of a scandal, promulgated by a woman of infamous character in the interests ol immor amy, jaiy twice nave, we lnaoe an i exception of this rule of silence: once ; l : . . ? i i. ' to express our disgust at tl c unmanly conduct ot inr. lilton, in silently per- . miting his wue to be thus slandered when it was in his power to have vindicated her good name; again to pub-. lish Mr.' Beecher's letter to the Brook - (, lyn Eagle, which explicitly contradict-', ed the charges made against him. The gross and indecent arraignment now publicly made by Mr. Tuton, changes the situation and makes it proper for us to speak.' We'do so. without wait i ing for the replies of Mrs. Tilton and Mr. ueeoher. Having known them both personally for many years, we will frankly say that if they should admit the truth of Mr. Tiltou's statement, we should find it difficult to believe, but until they do so we find it impossible: Knowing Mr. Tilton, also, we should require collateral evidence at every step before accepting any of his statements.. The man and woman who are accused have behind thorn the consistent record of private and public worth; the man who accuses them has no such record. What have these three eople been doing for the past seven years? Mrs. Tilton' has been a patient, loving, devoted wife and mother, enduring nameless wrongs in silence. iur. Beecher has been active ia good works, devoting his leisure hours to writing a life of Christ. Mr. Tilton has been advocating " free divorce," and writing the biographv of Victoria Woodhull. 1 The contrast is a sharp one, but it tells" the whole etory. " ; .-.;. ;: . The same editor of . this excellent out-spoken ' Woman's J ouraal," thus in continuation, in that paper of Aug. 1st, speaks of the ' V' ' ': ' 1 " nilON-WOODaUt L COK8PISACY, Last week we stated briefly but emphatically: that the charges made, by The6clore Tilton against" his wife aud Mr. Beecher were unworthy of belief, and that nothing short of. an admission of their truth by the parties ha plicated, could justify their acceptance as conclusive. We contrasted the consistent life long record of both the accused parties with the questionable antecedents ot the biographer of Mrs. Woodhull, and appealed from , a passionate outburst of jealously end hatred fo the eternal Verities of character, and the cumulative evidences of well spent lives. ; !, ,',. . It is with sincere pleasure that we lay before' our readers the prompt and explicit replies ol Mrs. Tilton and Mr. Ueecher. They are remarkable alike for1 simplicity and vigor. ' Bnt it is doing Mr. Beoeher no injustice to say that,' Mrs. Iilton3 thrilling cry bi unot euiltv'. has an electric power; to which even his weighty sentences can- . . j i ? . mi ..... ! noi, attain. - i nai cry or anguisn, wrung .Vom the very heart of oatraged womanhood, carries with it in ternal evidence ot sincerity." , in that supreme moment of her life, amid the desolation of all her earthly hopes, suddenly smitten by the hand of her own husband with eternal widowhood, her dearest .affections-'crushed, her highest aspiration defeated ' by the man who, in his earlieT and better day9; had sworn to hoiiori cherish aod protect1 her this noble Christian woman tells the sad tale of heroic struggle to, save her hearthstone from pol lutions' and tries ti liod to deliver'.

tne net in wmcn Dir. iicecner nas unsnspectinuly become entangle 1, ' We await without apprehension the promised confirmation of Mr. Tilton's assertions, fully believing that thereEult will show the unspeakable depravity Pf Eliiabeth R. Tilton's assailants, and will vindicate the honor of a virtuous and relgious woman. ' . We have designated this scandal as a " Tilton-Woodhull conspiracy." It will so appear. Already the crossexamination of Mr. Tilton has swept away every allegation based upon his his personal knowledge, for he admits that he has seen nothing inconsistent with his wife's innocence. - The basis of his charge is now reduced solely to the alleged admissions of. the parties accused. But Mr. Tilton has, so far, refused to produce the originals of this evidence, under the singular pretext that he fears to trust them in the hands of six gentleman of unimpeachable integrity. Worse, than this,, he admits that in some fases he has only short hand notes of his own, and that the originals arc not in his possession. In other cases he has given, what purport to be mere extracts from letters, separated from their context. Thus the whole fabric of accusation rests at present on the unsupported statements of Mr. Tilton.""'" ' ' .' vi 1 ! Let us analyze these statements! In one breath Mr. Tilton declares that his wife has been guilty of adultery; in the next he asserts that no wtitcr bottled woman lives than Elizabeth 11. Tilton."' In other words ' he intimates that a married woman may commit adultery without blemish. If so, the question naturally arises (Cah an act be sinless on. the part of a' woman and the same act on the part of a man be an unpardonable sin ?" Society holds women to a severer standard of morals than it holds men. Woman Suffragists believe in the same rule of morality for both kexes. But Mr.' Tilton first charges, his wife and Mr. Beecher with the same crimc. and then asserts the innocence of the woman and the total depravity of her accomplice.-' '" -? Now if Theodore Tilton. the apostle of Free Divorce, 'who shocked the readers of the Independent by editorials affirming that when love ceases marriage should cease; really believes that adultery is consistent with whiteness of soul, he hasa rightto his opinion. Yet in that case he certainly has no riuht to be his wife's accuser. But he tells the Committee that his domestic unhappincs's has grown out of the fact that his wife is orthodox in he relieious opinions while he is hetero dox, that she is conservative while hc; is radical'-He enlarges on her religious devotion, and declares it to be the ruling passion of her life,'- He also tells us that he thinks she. never did .' ah act which she believed to be wrong. Yet he charges, not with a 'single ' lapse from virtue, but with haying! lived for years in adulterous relations ' with ber pastor. Has this unhappy j man forgotten that the Bible contains a ; commandment,' "Thou shalt notj commit adultery?'' Could a mafrieJ '

woman be guilty of adultery without knowing it?v Could an orthodox OBristiau woman, devoted to her religion, live a life of adultery without a consciousness of sin ? It is" impossible rf ' But 3Ir. Tilton has made other admissions equally damaging to his case. Might utffr a man, who says that he has invented and published fictitious correspondence in his own newspaper, invent and publish, under strong temptation" fictitious correspondence over, Mr, Beecher's signature ? Mr. Tilton Admits, that he has: told one .story to-day and another to-morrow ;

j that he has repeatedly used language i , in private, referring to his wife, that j was designed to convey tne impression of . her: innocence, lie even admits that he went into" the Investigating Committee, only twenty four hours before he permitted his arraignment of his wife and Mr. Beecher to be published "through the convenient indiscretion of his friend," With a totally different version of the wholefnffair in his'pocket, to be used, if it suited his convenience, instead of the one he has given to the public. But if this be so, then both versions, and every version that rests solely upon Mr. Tilton's veracity, must be regarded as equally and hoplessly unreliable. i ' H. B. B. Tuesday morning of last week the Lafayette Paper Mills were burned. The accidental breaking of a coal oil lamp, and a portion of the burning oil running down between theeather boarding and the inside lining of the wall, soon enveloped the entire .building in flames, and the workmen . barely had time to save themselves and a few bundles of paper. The loss is estimated af 30,000. " TEMPERANCE QUESTION. Ttoo PoNttion or th Two Parties. From Hie Republican Platform, June 17, ... 1S71. ... ,(., , , In the opinion of this convention, jatemperance is an evil against which socierj-has the right to protect itself; that our whole system ot legislation throughout ail the history of the State has asserted and maintained this right, ,and it: cannot now be surrendered i without yielding up that fundamental . principle of, American government which places the power of passing the Jaws in the hands of a majority; therefore we are in favor of such legislation as.will give a majority of the peo- , pie the jriht to i. determine for them- . eelves, iu their respective towns, townships or wards, whether the sale of intoxicating liquors furjuse as a bever,ageshll b permittedherein, and such as will hold theLvendor responsible for all damages resulting from such sales. ' ;r '-i i " From the llemociraUc , Platform, Jnly lc , That the act of -Eebruary 27, 1373, coniuenly known as the "Baxter bill,'! has proved a failure, audi in many , respects of doubtful constitutionality, and is no more effioicut in restraining the evils of intemperance than a judi- , cioua and well regulated license law; ., therefore we are in lavor of a repeal of the Baxter bill, and the enactment . of such a license law as shall protect .usoeiety and produce a large increase ,. !' the school fund. . c - The Republican platform was made ato suit the demands of the temperance and religions portion of the people? ' and the Democratic platform was made ta-suit the liquor dealers and I associations. The practical issnes are ; religion against infidelity, temperance t against drunkenness, and lawful roy. Btraint against licentious -indulgences, r The Republican platform proposes to decide the question of -(.tiling or not selling liquor on the American basis i of ' popular sovcrignty; the Democratic platform proposes to decide the question on the principle of individual , will, every man to sell when and where he pleases, whether the--people want . hint or not, if he has the money to pay tor license.
