ONE CHARGE.

STOP MY PAPER."

The order to "discontinue," Is suppoaed to carry consternation and dismay Into the sanctum sanctorum of the newspaper offloe, and to make all oontherewith, from editor-in-chief down to "devil," fear and quake. And It must be admitted that, with human nature as it is at present constituted, it is generally more satisfactory to receive subscription* in advance than the order quoted at the head of this article. But the supposition that this order creates any especial uneasiness is contrary to the fact. The truth la, that, In the manner In which it come*, it generally causes considerable amusement. People get miffed about something, and, while the heat is on, order the paper discontinued, and the editor chuckles in his sleeves at the fellow who bites his own nose off to vent his spite, and knows that, as soon as he goes home and looks in the glass, and sees what he has really done, lie will be sorry, and will come back in a few days, or weeks, to "renew." Then there is the fellow with the itch for wri ting. He gets road because all his articles are not published and issues the terrible order to stop his paper. He soon finds that all the papers vote him a bore, and he gets back again. One set of men think they can compel papers to advocate their views, or punish their advocating the opposite, aad they combine, with a flourish of trumpets, to stop the paper. The saloon-keepers tried it «n one of the dailies last winter. Such attacks generally increase the circulation, for all who have stopped the paper will buy it to see what it says about them, and the opposite party will send jn new subscribers. So it goes. There is any amount of fan in newspaper offices over the people who are always stopping their paper because its course or its opinions do not suit them.

We do not, however, allude to this matter on account of anything which has occurred in The Mail office, for our lists are steadily increasing, and there are almort none who, having once had Hie Mail, will attempt to get along without it. Nor do we allude to this subject with any reference to the other papers of the city, cither daily or weekly. Our purpose is U» discuss the practical question whether it is right and wise to stop a paper on account of its character and the views which it advocates. While there is a tendency on one hand to vent spite by stopping a paper for insignificant reasons, there is a tendency on the other hand to regard all who give up their paper on account of dissatisfaction with it, as fanatics, or as attempting to brow beat. Both these conclusions are wrong. A paper Is a powerful educa tor. -All admit that. It educates all ages and classes. The children road it and imbibe, to an extent, their views on various topics from it. The leas intelligent classes read it, and by its views their own are moulded. Even the intelligent are not above its educational power. It is difficult to reckon the influence ef the newspaper in the family, or in the community, as an educator. Thin is especially strong where only one paper is taken. Henee it follows that great csre should be exercised in selecting the fam ily newspaper. And If care should be exercised in selecting it, care should also be exercised in seeing that it continues to be fit fbr family use. It certainly would be proper to exclude a paper from the house upon the same grounds upon which an individual would be excluded. If a man should insist upon perpetrating vile and indecent Jests at the table, or in the family circle, this would be a auffident reason for Informing him that he was not wanted there. If one were to persist in telling, in the presence of the boys and girls, and the ladios of the household, all the dirty gossip or news of the day, taking pains to set forth the dirtiest particulars with the greatest clearness, it would be good and sufficient grounds upon which to exclude him. We know of no reason why the same rule will not apply to papers. The paper that cannot be thrown down for any member of the family to read with the assurance that there is nothing in it which will harm or corrupt any member of the household, is not fit for tfaofrmJly. If a paper, by its low jests, or its parade of filth or obscenity, will exert an injurious influence, it is mailt of to forbid it a place In the home.

In reference to the opinions declared id advocated, the same rule holds good. No man expect* all who sK at his table to agree with him on the various question* of morals, religion, polltka and tntataflan. Differences of opinion give great

tm

to sod*2 ifctereounw

by the friendly and respectful diaeosakm wMeb tfeey oeeaaton. No matter if little, or even eonaidcntble, best get* into tibe diaemwfon now and then. No to *xpeei or deaire to eom-

pet the eatin toneKnW to swallow bis views unquestioned. It would b« great deal better for people, If tbey would take some papers whksh differ front thsrn in ooinkmou religious and political questions. Is this way they would learn the weak points of their opponents, as well «e of themselves, and, what ia better, would often learn that the differences were not so great after

And although no one can expect agreement on all subjects which come up, and must exercise toleration, yet there may be views advocated which would justify, the exclusion of individual or paper from the flunily, and their discouragement in the community. A christian family or community, while it ought to tolerate discussion and criticism, could hardly bo blamedTor refusing to support a paper teaching "infidelity. A temperance and moral community oould hardly be expected to support a pajer which openly advocated drunkenness and immorality. For the sake of getting the news, few parents would be willing that their children should be taught that lying, thoit, and licentiousness were right. The moral tone of tho paper, and the sentiments which it advocates, if these are judged to be corrupting in their influence, are good and sufficient reasons for controlling the chdice of a paper. And this choice may be exercised without justifying the charge of bigotry or intolerance. That which one judges to be positively harmful he not only may, but ought to exclude from his family. No more important duty devolves upon parents than that involved in selecting the papers which are to be read in his household. tr r*

These general principle* are laid down without any reference to oar contemporaries. Probably the daily and weekly papers of this city compare favorably, in their general character, with newspapers elsewhere. These principles are general in their application, and by them any paper should be willing to stand or fall, and we are perfectly willing that they should be applied to The Mail.

all.

No one who ia wise and broad will exdude a paper simply because it d«* net perfectly agree with bint in sentiment. But, at the same time, there are differences, and modes of expressing differing opinions, which would Justify the exclusion of an individual or paper from the family. The man, who, on coming to the table, or into the flunily circle, should take especial pains to misrepresent the views held by those in whoae house he was, to sneer at things held aacwsd there, and to state his own opinions in the manner that he thought, or had good reason to think, would most Annoy them, would not be a welcome guest. To ftiir criticism, even though it be sharp, few will or ought to object. But unfidr criticism is good cause for oomplaint. Arguments, urged no matter how strongly, ought to be borne patiently. But aneero and irmendoes cannot, and hardly ought to be patiently borne. When these tend to destroy that which is believed to be of great value and importance, it is the privilege or duty of those who have the training ef the young in their hands, not only to protect themselves from insult, but the young from injury.

business will probably come over the wires, next Mondayjaight. It to Moulting.

Is the box placed in the corner stone of a Methodist church at Somerville, Massachusetts which was laid Monday, were put oopiea of the Boston daily jspers containing whole columns about the Beeeher-Tllton scandal.

WK are told that Moulton has had

a

long consultation with three criminal lawyers and two dvll lawyers, as well ss with Ben Butler. The result of all these talks is said to be that Mr. Moulton will not bo too much of a friend to Til ton to join in his bitterness, or of Mr. Beecher to refuse to tell a feir story.

MOITI.TON, In answer to Beecher** angry letter complaining that his papers were not given up to him, says: "Mr. •niton baa seen only apart of the papers In my possession, and wotildb^mort surprised to learn the entire fad* of the ease than you can possibly be. That is a little startling, and seems to mean something. Will Meulton solve the riddle in his promised testimony?

WHILE the oonstant reader of the daily batch of Brooklyn scandal has been fitirly bewildered with the confessions and retractions, the statements of one person contradicted by another, written declarations verbally contradicted by the writers, accusations denied by the accusers, signatures protested by the signers, and the like, nobody soems to question one statement in Theodore Tilton's tes timony, which was: "I have acted like a fool." _________

THE St. Louis Globe remarks mat whatever may be the verdict of the Plymouth church Investigating Committee, it is a matter of public congratulation that its labors are about to come to a close especially go if the termination of those labors is, in any manner, indicative that the nauseous scandal, with its nauseous details, is to be removed from the dally contemplation and constant discussion of the American people.

THE almost universal prayer of the people, disgusted by. dally columns of twaddling gossip and nonsensical opinions over the Brooklyn matter, to "give us a rest,!' was obeyed by the associated press yesterday morning for the first time since the Investigating Committee began itp work. The tolegraph brought not a line of the stuff fbr the morning papers. It. was a pleasure to pick up a morning paper without the eye felling upon the insanely egotistical highfhlutins of Tilton or the babble ofsQme other member of the crew.

TJIKRE has been a lull of several days in the news from Brooklyn. Frank Moulton, the keeperof seals, confidante, and go-between, in whom all interest now centers, has returned, and at the request of Beecher and Tilton, will go before the committee Monday and tell all Ke knows. After Moulton testifies, Mr. Beccher is to appear. It is reported as uncertain whether the latter will present a written statement or simply submit to an oral examination, but will be governed by tho wishes of the committee. We will soon have the whole story

THE Beecher-Tilton investigation has already proven the truth of the adage that "All is not gold that glitters," and that other, "There is a eflceieton in every closet." Tilton spoke of his "happy home,"- but Mrs. Tilton tells a story ot misery in that home that makes one's heart fairly bleed. And then in that other household wo are told Mrs. Beecher makes it uncomfortable for Mr. B., and so hot that his relatives are kept away. What a heap of misery in this world is smothered and kept out of 8l8ht--=8==^^

THEODORE TILTON graphically describes his own position in the opening sentence of his recent novel, "Tempest Tossed:"

Out of sight of land, rolling cm the sea and glittering in the daybreak, lay a dismasted ship:—a burnt, charred hulk that had just escaped destruction by lightning and hurricane."

THE New York Congregatlonallst is severe upon what it is pleased to designate the "Pulpit War-whoop." It says: "It ia a cry or shout. We do not hero at all refer to the pious whine with which some white-eravated speakers bewail the evil spirit of the age nor the holy nasal tone, which some men who are very sensible fellows oni of the desk, invariably, if unconsciously assume when they get into it nor the sepulchral sqawk which, now and then, some conscientious repro vor goes down into his double bass to emphasise but what we have in mind is the loud and glowing, the selfaatlsfled and irrepressible, the exuberant and ear-stunning, the turgid and tremendous howl-growl the sonorous, stentorian, uproarious, obstreperous clang, clangor, clamor, peal, swell, roar, blast, racket, hubbub and hullabaUoo with which some of our "great" pulpit orators belabor an audience, under the impression that there can be no sincere and effective preaching of the Gospel unleaa so delivered that a dead man with cotton wool in his eats might be was* ranted to hear it at the distance of half a mile, or thereabeuta."

A xrw comet has been discovered. A New York astronomer who has spied it out with a telescope says: "It is large and bright for a telescopic comet, and h«« a strong central condensation, but asferaal oould judge by observation, both In the solar and lunar twilight, it has no nucleus or tail." That is all we want to know. A comet without a tail won't receive much encouragement in this part of the country.

ECOEXE LAWRENCE writes in Harper's weekly: "The war party in Francs employs In private language that seems the extravagance of bombast. Newspapers may be cautiously silent, and ministers yielding and submissive, but the politicians of the cafes and the dubs have no hesitation in confessing the future policy of aggression. France, they assert, Is gathering an army that nothing in Europe can resist. All Its youth and manhood are to be converted Into soldiers. In some unguarded mpment they nill strike Germany. The war will be ono of unsparing severity, and if they fell, Paris shall be wueed to the ground and the name of Franco be blotted out from among nations."

GRASS VALLEY has a celebrity for many good things but among them cannot be counted an extraordinary knowledge of the Book of Common Prayer. On the Fourth It was decided that the exercises should include the Lord's Prayer. After searching through the town they couldn't find a man who could say It without bungling. The committee were about to give up the Lord's Prayer as an Interesting part of the exercises, when an did fellow stepped up and said: "Gentlemen, I know a feller as can sling that prayer bully. I've heard him do it. He used to be a Gospel sharp when he lived east. But he had to give up preachin' in consequence of somethin' or other. He stole a horse, or some other man's wife, or killed a rival Bible master, or was guilty of some little irreg'larity. But he can just spin out that prayer as slick as an Injun can sling a tommyhawk, or your chairman can swallow a tumbler of coffin nails." The ex-preach-er was procured, and the inhabitants of Grass Valley had the unusual pleasure of listening to the Lord's Prayer. The people of Grass Valley probably thought that the Lord's Prayer was the proper thing for a Fourth of July celebration.

A SOLEMN THOUGHT. [From the New York Evening Mall.l There is something indefinitely touching and solemn in the thought that a man may be born into this world, strut his brie'f hour upon the stage, and, at last, tumble into eternity without e\er having seen the St, Louis bridge.

THE RROOKL YN SCANDAL.

From Our Om* CbrreepoMtoU on the Q"*' ft NEW

YORK, Aug. D, lSr-1.

Editor Batttitiay Evening Mall: In accordance with your desire I have taken pains to learn the state of feeling hers In reference to tho Beecher-Tilton aflkir. It is well known that the New York pVGttn bis been in sympathy with Mr. Beecher, but, as is well known in Terre Haute, the newspapers do not always reflect the sentiments of tho better das* In the community. So feras I can learn, however, the general sentiment oi New York is quite a* strongly on the side of Mr. Beecher a* the press.

A friend of mine who, being a business man, is familiar with the general sentiment, and who Is member of Dr. Storr's church, and in sympathy with Dr. S. tells me that the prevailing opinion is that Mr. Beecher Is innocent.

A young man who ha* opportunities of knowing, says that they who want to have Sir. Beecher proved guilty believe him so, but that all who are in sympathy with morality and religion believe him innocent. This assertion would be true if made concerning some other places farther Wert than New York.

Mr.Tilton*s refusal to give up the "documents" or to have any thing more to do with the committee, and his very meek letter in which he attempts, among other things, to throw the blame of his arrest for libel upon the committee who had nothing to do with it, creates a strong feeling that he is not to bo trusted, and that he has not as strong a case as he pretends. Mr. Beecher*s efforts to get Moulton to testify are also set down as good evidence of Innocence.

As for Mr. Moulton, my friend says that there are as many opinions as individuals. One, who claims to know him says he would not believe him under oath. Another, who puts in some claim, says: "When Moulton speaks, he will tell the truth." And another expresses still a different opinion.

It is not believed that Tilton will take the matter into tho courts, but that he takes this way of keeping back his pretended documents in order to continue his attacks on Mr. Beecher. His "magnanimity" in giving up to Mrs. Tilton the house which her father gave her, and of which the dispatches made so much, has bean short lived, as he now refuses to give it up. How he will be by Saturday, I cannot tell, but now Mr. Beecher's case looks very hopeful.

E. F. HOWE.

WOODHULVS VISIT TO THE TILTONS. [From a Forthcoming Article in the "Weekly."]

Oblivious to every thing except the assurance of friends that her statements will be believed as against everybody else, Mrs. Tilton again appears before the Committee, on the evening of August 1, when she is reported, among other things, as making the following state-

'When he (Mr. Tilton) brought the Woodhulls to her house, and imposed these harlots upon her, she used every means in her power to induce tnem to leave, but they would not go. She finally, in despair, sent for the police to remove them,, and when the Woodhulls heard that they left.'

Upon the aay when Mr. Tilton came to my office, bringing a New York World, asked me who I meant when I said that I knew of a public teacher ol eminence who lives in ooncubinnago with tho wife of another toacher of almost equal eminence, he said, 'Let me take you over to see Elizabeth.' On being introduced to Mrs. Tilton she was evidently surprised, and only recovered when Mr. Tilton said, 'Elizabeth, Woodbull knows all.' 'All, do you say re'Yes,

Whereupon she received me, and after a while relaxed into a friendly—finally into a confidential—manner. Tho subject of our conversation was tho scandal, of course how I bad become informed, and what I knew about It. She conversed with me and treated me frankly, and while she did not at that time afiirm or deny the feet of sexual intercourse with Mr. Beecher, tho whole conversation was based upon that fact, and tho farther fact of her continued love for him, for all' or which I fally justifiod her. and said that it Was such a revolution in society as would permit tho peaccable adjustment of such cases, that I was workins to inaugurate. She invited me to remain and take tea with them, and I did so. When I left, she pressed me to come again, and I promised to do so. I left, feeling that I sad dbne her good that in her, at least, I should find no objections, at the right time, to making use of the scandal for reformatory purposes. I even hoped, from some of her expressions, that she might join with me in making statements. All my faturo In-

UlAltillK OMIWIUVii%(7t —-V r~T tercourse with her was directed to this end. My visits to her continued at intervals during the whole time of Mr. Tilton's Intimacy with me. Mrs. Tilton fully understood the object* of tho Association. She will well remember the occasion of my last visit. Certainly, up to that time, she will scarcely assume that she endeavored to get rid of me, or that felling to do so, she called the police to aid her. On this occasion, she will remember, upon second thought, that our conversation was any thing but such as would lead to an expulsion from the house. 8he will remember that it was in the afternoon, and that we were in a room upon the upper floor, adjoining Mr. Tilton's study that Mr. Tilton was in his study, laboring upon ono of hi* elaborate' articles. She will remember that she sat sewing uport a dress for one of her daughter*—a small cbeckcd light idlk pattern: that I sat at her ride, upon low chair, by her own request, in most fethiliar converse—so femlliar that she several times dropped her work, and, putting her arms around my neck. kiw»ed me, and when she recalls all this, Me will not be able to forget the beautiful book of poems she pr^ented me, in which she wrote, witE her own hand, 'To my friend. Victoria C. JVoodhull— Elizabeth R. Tilton.' Was it upon this occasion, Mis. Tilton, that you called the police to expel me from your house It must have been at this time, if at all. since this was my last visit to you, and was it then that you learned that I wasa harlot? Oh, for shame. Mrs. Tilton, to resort to opprobiou* epithets, to pander to supposed public opinion, with tne hope that it may help you in the accoptanoe of your other stories!"

I
