THREE PICTURES.

The eeentry stands aghast at a triplet of terrible domestic tragedies. One It I is needless to name, for it is spoken of in every paper you chance 'to pick up.

It has not startled us with the shock of

06111 bl,t

overwhelmed us with an ava

lanche of dishonor. No matter whether I that pastor be innocent or guilty of the gravest Crime charged, the wreck of that household is complete. The other, which is even more mournful but of which has been said, is that of Mary Pomeroy, a spotless young girl ruined by her pastor under the promise of marriage. The earth has covered up her dishonor. She Is dead, not by self-murder, but through the kindliness of Nature. Hor seducer has been warned, by a public meeting of citizens of the town where his shameful deed was committed, to leave it and not return. The last of the Bad triplet was enacted in tho capital of our own St*te and its shuddering denouement was the self-sought death of Flora Harding and the all but Mai wounding of the fiend who treaohorously led her to the brink of the precipice and pushed ker over it.

It is seldom that we are called on to witness the enactment of Ihreo such domestic dramas simultaneously. It would be sad enough to contemplats each by itself but as it is each receives a heightened color from the others. There is that in the spectacle which will make every father watch his daughters with a more jealouseye and every*mother draw her girls to her bosom in a closer embrace. It seems that licentiousness and libertinism are abroad in every quarter of the land and that lustful passion burns even in holy places. The better, members of society are fein to cry out: "Hide the disgraceful picture from us cover up the shame, let us see no more of it. It is too revolting to look at,"

What is the cause of this wide-spread debauchery and desolation? Are we retrograding in morals Is the spirit of chastity on the decline among us Have we accepted Mrs. Woodhull's social theories while we pursue the woman with relentless denunciation It deems as i£ in the fatality of things, these three great tragedies, but varied manifestations of the same sin, had been placed before our eyes that their aggregated effect might be such as to move the en tire nation, and lead it to contemplate the direful consequences of this social leprosy. It will be well if the lesson is heeded. The ruin has been wide-spread, Thousands of homes have been blasted the twining tendrils of affection severed wives and husband^ separated innocent children -fisited with a curse and blight young girls of beauty ana promise laid low in death', or,fer oftener and far worse, doomed to the life of the prostitute Men have been shot down dead or made to carry incurable wounds to their grave —tut for them we have little sympathy or care. The only misfortune is that the avenging bullet has not oftener been sent with a steadier nerye and a surer aim. For the leper who steals treacherously into the household, under the guise of friendehip, but with calculating forethought and deliberate purpose to shatter it in ruin, for him a ball through the heart is the only meet punishment and it would be just as well if lie coald count with certainty beforohapd such would be his fkte. \~Jk

If ih®re are those who have held chastity in light esteem let them look on these three pictures which the spirit of Last has conjured up and see how hid eoua they axe., Let them contrast with these scenes of blight and ruio the dqmastlc felicity and* bliss of tto homes where chaste love dwolls, binding husband and wife together In bonds of marital parity strong as those that were liafeed at the Marriage of Cana, and then

THE TRAININQ OF OIRL& Apropos to the artide entitled "Kthk* of the Cook Stove," which appears on the first page of this paper, we have no tM that a good deal has been said lately oa the relative advantages and disadvantages of city life fer boys and girls. The boys, it is said, have many opportunities for free and healthful exercise which are denied to their (Vail companions. The former are permitted full range, nut only of the streets, alleys and bye-ways of the city, but of the woods and fields of the surrounding country, They can go bathing and fishing in the river, hunting in (he woods, climbing the hills, camping out at night and coming home with browned cheeks and bounding blood. Then between thfiee periods of more exciting recreation there is boating and base ball to develop and toughen the muscles and solidify the bones.

But what of the girls From all these rougher out-door exercises they are, from the very necessities of the case, excluded. They grow pale and slender within doors, spiritless, morbid and sentimental. They lack the ambition of their brothers as much as they lack their knitted muscles and trained limbs. The result is, as some one says that fashion, with innumerable Artificial aids, comes into hide the deficiencies of an undeveloped, ill-formed body, but her supplements are as different from natural development as rouge and chalk are different from the native red and white of a healthy complexion. Dr. Clarke, who has attained a wide famo for his sound views on the subject of education, as applied to the two sexes, says that "unless men and women both havo brains, the nation will go down." Doubtless the statement is true but Jt is even more, certain, that unless men and women both have bodies, good, healthy, well developed bodies, the nation willjgo if a I a

An exchange, in commenting on tliis topic, notices the almost universal com plaint of the inefficiency of household service in the cities, as conducted under the present system of being entirely de pendent on, and at the mprcy of, thriftless and in many oases incompetent servants, and putting the two oomplaints together, the lack of good servants and the lack of healthful exercise for the girls, hints that one evil may possibly bo made the antidote for the other that is to say, if tho grown and growing girls ®f the household were taught to perform many of the lighter kinds of domestic labor, the house would be better served and themselves be more interesting $nd attractive.

There is a good lesson here, a lesson which has been urged for years past on the American people by the wisest of its teachers and speakers, but apparentlywe were going to say, in vain—-but may we not more hopefully believe, not without producing some good results It is a subject well worthy the careful con sideration of parents who have daugh ters growing to womanhood around them, w1

THE Prairie Farmer very pertinently asks why do not some of our pretended wise men at Washington step over to Canada and learn how tho people there manage the Indians? Their aborigines are of the same flesh and blood as ours and in many instances they sprang from the same tribes. Still on our side of the line there has been a succession of out rages, wars and massacres, while on theirs there has been peace, harmony and good feeling, almost from the time the country was settled. The difference is plainly not in the red skins but in the pale faces. A late number of the Mon treal Gazette gives an illustration of the feelings of the Canadian Indians towards the whites and tho Dominion Gov emment. It states tbat Lieutenant Col onel Powell lately made a tour of inspection among the Indians of British Columbia* and that his reoeption by them was worthy that paid to a Roman EmpeMr. He was exported from one tribe to another by companies of braves on horseback, and every pains was taken to render both his journeys and rests pleasant and profitable. What," asks tho Gazette, "would not tho Washington Government give, if one of their com mlftsionei* were ao6orded such a welcome?"

IT hasn't been whipped out of those southern fellows yet. Hatred of the negro is constantly causing acts of violence and lawlessness. The last and most herrible occurred near Humboldt, Tennessee, this week. Some negroes threatened riot on account of some supposed wrong done them. Sixteen ring leaders were arrested and placed in jail for safe keeping. At one o'clock Wednesday morning a masked band of one hundred men compelled the Sheriff to give up the keys and'the negroes were taken half a mile out of town. Here alx of them were turned loose and told to make their escape. As they started to do so a volley of musketry killed four and mortally wounded the other two. The remainder were carried up the river Aid killed. _BS=!!a=S!=^

RKAIXY, the longer we live the more wo find out. Here is a little episode in the B-T case, where Bessie says: "I saw Mies Susan B. Anthony on Til ton's lap, in the parlor, and she jumped up pretty quick." Counsel, with stupefectkm and horror—"Miss Anthony Witness, with deadly distlnctnem—

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

"NOT GUILTY!"

The Plymouth Church Investigating Committee made its report last evening. It is too long for our columns, occupy tag eight columns of this morning's Exprow. It finds Mr. Beecher innocent of the crime of adultery, or of improper act with Mrs. Tllton, and "nothing whatever in the evidence that should Impair the perfect confidence of Ply mouth church, or the world in the christian diameter and integrity of Henry Ward Beecher."

Less importance is attached to this report than if the committee hacl been otherwise constructed and the case otherwise managed. The case has been taken dear out of the hands of the committee. Almost every intelligent person up and down tho length and breadth of the land has made himself a committee of one to investigate, and has made his own verdict. We give ours: "Not GnUty We shall not stop to argue, to give our reasons, to wade through the maunderings of Tiltou, the babble of Carpenter, the liypoerlsios of Bowen, the the lunatic ravings of* Mrs. Hooker and Moulton's Imaginings, the contradiction everywhere, the confirmation nowhere, flie case has been made up and few opinions can be changed. It is a peculiar case, and honest opinions can be held on either side. Mr. Beecher, by his confiding, generous, sympathetic nature has been a victim of one of tho foulest conspiracies the world has ever known. His overwhelming occupations have facilitated the designs of tho con spirators. He had no time to study their strategy,

worldly wisdom, and has been surrounded by poor advisers. His statement shows his greatest fhult to be Weakness, lie had faith in the honor of Moulton, and too much mercy for the .contemptible sneakTilton, a vain puffed up charlatan, without gratitude, without honor, without manliness, truth, honor or decency "When lie should have boldly defied them, he compromised unttl he finally found himself almost powerless in the welx of crafty fnlsehooderand double meaning documents which bad been woven around him. He had a regard for tho good name of a woman whose only fault was a silly love

We have been personally familiar with both Beecher and Mr. Tilton for years and somewhat associated in literary labor with both. Eight years ago wo became convinced that Mr. Tllton was seeking to pull Mr. Beecher down, because nis own idiosyncratic egotism could suffer no superior. In common with other friends of Mr. Beecher, we endeavored to persuado him that Mr. Tilton was a dangerous,because a treacherous, friend. We were personally cognizant of the influences which Mr. Tilton employed to sever Mr. Boecher's connection with the Independent, that he might himself stand without a rival in its columns. We knew something of the circumstances which led to Mr. Tilton's final separation from that paper on account of views that were lax and practices that were loose. We shared iihe impatience of all Mr. Beecher's best Mends, at the irrational charity which continued to pardon sins which* showed an inherent corruption of nature, and to hope for reform of one whose only conBclence was his approbativeness. To those who have through all these years known even a little of tills secrethlstory its full disclosures are less incredible than they will bo to tho general public.

T*

wavered in his faith or felt bis attachment for Mr. Beecher loosen. Now that all Is disclosed, it is not difficult to traoe the elemonts ef this conspiracy. Mr. Tilton engaged in it, spurred on by a morbid vanity, and angrv jealousy, a defeated and galling ambition. His business associate joined In it because capital was invested in the Golden Ago, and Mr. Ulton's failure would be the loss of money as well as of prestige. Mr. Ttlton's associates in the flree-

FRANK CARPENTER comes forward with his statement in which bo characterises as utterly fiilso tho charges against him in Mr. Beecher*s statement Let's see, what was it that Mr. B. said Oh, we remember. It was that Carpenter was a "good-natured fool and busybody!" ________________

ATX the damage possible by words to character has been done in Brooklyn and now they are going to damage each other's bank accounts. Tilton has sued Beecher, Moulton is going to sue Beecher, and Beecher is going to sue Moulton

for himself—a lovo without thought of land Tilton, and Bowen has sued the crime in it—a love too common with proprietors of the Eagle and Argus for women of a sentimental turn of mind— a love of a weak brain, not that of a passionate heart. Mr. Bcoeher comes out of the light not unscathed, but certainly without taint of intentional wrong-do-ing. Weak as ho has been, ho has not been criminal. In this connection we print the following extract from the New York Christian Weekly, edited by Rev. Lyman Abbott, for several years pastor of the Congregational Church in this oity. Being known here, and having been for a long time on the ground, the scene of the conflict, his evidence and opinion will be read with interest. He says:

libel. If all these suits are prosecuted I the courts will have a pretty mess.

THE report of the Beecher investiga^ ting committee last night, reveals one very important bit of evidence. It appears that on the first of June, 1873, more than one year ago, Mr. Beecher expressed to Moulton a determination to make a public statement. Moulton wrote, back these words, "If the truth must be spoken let it be, I know you can stand it if the whole case was published to-jnorrow." Apparently fearing this might rather tend to determine Mr, Beecher to publish the whole case than otherwise, he crossed out these and other lines tvith a pencil and commenced anew. In this new effort on the same paper these words occur, "yeu can stand if the whole case were published tomorrow." And now Moulton says this "truth" was "adultery."

SELLING TO MINORS. The License question was very ford bly presented in a case lately before an Illinois court. Three saloon-keepers were found guilty, by a jury, of selling liquor to minors, and in scntendng the prisoners, Judge Reading, as reported in the Chicago Tribune, said:

By the law you may sell to men and women If they will buy. You have given your bond, and paid your' license to sell to them, and no one has a right to molest you in your legal business. No matter what tho consequence may be, no matter what poverty and destitution are produced by your selling according to law, you have paid your money for this privilege, and you are licensed to pursue your calling.

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

THE CLOSING SCENES,

THE MUTUAL FRIEND •,.-3?— DER FIRE!

UN-

YOU AREA LIAR, SIR!"

Tho following rcport of the closing scenes in Plymouth-Church last night did not appear in the morning papers:

During the reading of the report frequent interruptions were caused by the applause which followed the reading of certain passages sustaining Mr. Beecher, and outbursts of laughter were drawn out by any allusions to mntual friend Moulton and his participation in the matter. The concluding portion of the report and the snmming up of the committee were received with waving of handkerchief^, hats and whatever else came handy, and the applause which greeted its ending was almost deafening. At this point Mr. Moulton came into the front portion ofthechurch and took a seat alongside tho platform and at the reporter's table. He pulled out a note book and pendl and prepared to take notes. A gentleman rose up in the audience and requested permission to address the meeting. He was invited to tho platform, where he gave the name of Mr. Blair. He moved that the report of the committee bo accepted and the resolutions adopted. He said the committee had rendered their verdict, and it now remained for tho people of the qhurch te indorse it as it was now officially laid before thorn. He was satisfied that this report would be accepted by ail. If not, let any person who was against it speak, or forever hold his tongue. Mr. Moulton here made an effort as though be was going to rise to his feet, but was restrained by some of those in his immediate vicinity.

A call was now raised for Mr. Rossiter W. Raymond^ who responded in a short speech. He recapitulated some portions of the evidence taken before tho committee, and in referring to Mr. Moulton's part iu the affair, he said "Mr. Francis D. Moulton has tried to poison the minds of men against Mr. Beecher." This seemed to raise Mr. Moulton's ire, and, standing erect, he glared at the speaker and exclaimed twice in aloud voice "You're a liar, sir, you're a liar, sir." Instantly all was confusion. Men and women rose to their feet, the latter mounting on tho seats, and joining in the cry with a hearty good will, of "Put him out! Shame, sir!" etc., etc., mingled with loud and prolonged hisBing, in the midst of which Mr. Halliday came forward, and making himself heard above the din, partially restored order, saying: "Gentlemen, let him sit still and*hear tho truth." But Moulton still remained on his feet, saying, "I dare you to put me out." A couple of pqlice officers put in an appearance behind Mr. Moulton, and he resumed his seat.

Order being partially rostored, Mr. Raymond continued: "Well, now, I want to say something to you about blackmailing." [Cries of "Yes, go for the blackmailer."! He claimed that Mr. Tilton did not know where the money came from, but it was evident that Mr. Moulton paid him the money out of his own pocket. Was it upon liis insinuations, garble, language and letters? Was it upon this, he wanted to know, they wore to wait and doubt? With regard to tho pistol, it was not pretended by Mr. Beecher, or advanced by Mr. Moulton, that under the influence ofthe pistol ho was hurried or intimidated to any action. Tho story of tho pistol was just this. It went to show tho character of a man who went to call upon a minister with his pistol.

He concludcd his address by stating that come what might, they would stand by the man who had stooci up so nobly for them. Th« chairman then put tho question on receiving the report of tho committee, and adopting tho resolutions offered. On motion it was passed by a standing vote, with tho waving of hats and handkerchief^, when tho ayes were called for, but when" the nays were called, Frank Moulton only rose, and was greeted with a perfect storm of hisses, and another uproar succeeded, but was calmed in a slight degree when Mr. Gilbert roso and offered a resolution tendering thanks to tho members of the committee for the foithful and Impartial manner in which they had performed their duties, and also to tho counsel of tho committee for their valuable services. This was also adopted. A motion was made to ac(journ, but Mr. Halliday announoed that tho proceedings would terminate with tho singing of the doxology. At this juncture Moulton arose from his seat and pushed his way toward the door, through the surging crowd that blocked tho passage. During his routo ho was hustled on every side, and when ho reached tho hall-way many hands were outstretched, as if to wreak vengeance upon him but tho crowd was kept off by the police officers, who hurried him down the alley-wav to where a carriage was in waiting, into which 1 was pushed rather than helped, and with a police officer standing on the back step or tho veliide, it was driven rapidly away. The audience then quietly dispersed.

DiscotTRsnto on "the mischief of free love doctrines," the Boston Globe, ono1 the most uncompromising defenders Beecher, mildly remarks:

There i« evidence that Mr. Beecher. in some of his ever-varying moods, has given ear to the plausible pleadings of the siren, and seen in an ideal realization of the promises of its song, a way out ofthe manifold miseries of domestic life. He seems to have, at some time, let slip utterances which have been construed as fevoring some of these doctrines in their ideal objects, howeve much he may condemn them as the ba sis of conduct at the present time. Ono other ground can we understand tl position of some of his ewn family an the hold tbat certain free-lovers though they had upon hint. If this be so, has occasion now to recall tho solemn question of Scripture: "Can a man touch pitch and not be defiied
