Those that As per agreement, the case of the state against S. C. Pomeroy was called in the Shawnee county district court last Monday morning. The state announced itself ready for trial, but owing to the non-appearance of the leading witness for the defense, a postponement was asked by defendant's attorneys until the afternoon, which was granted. In the afternoon the court room was crowded with eager expectants, and when the case was called again, Gen.

Stringfellow, of Atchison, one of Pom's attorneys, announced with regret the absence of witnesses, and stated that Mr. Pomeroy had decided that a motion should be made to quash the indictment. The motion is based upon the following technical points First That the facts stated in the said information do not constitute a public offense. Second: The facts stated in the said information do not state or show that any crime or misdemeanor has been committed by the defendant. Third The said information charges that Alexander M.

York was a senator of the state of Kansas, and there is no such officer known to the constitution or the laws of said state, and there is no such officer as senator of the state of Kansas. Fourth It appears from the said information that the said Alexander M. York was not at the time charged in the information, or at any other time, an officer of the state of Kansas. Fifth The statements contained inhe said information show that the said Alexander M. York was not at the dates named in the information an officer of the state of Kansas.

Sixth The said information does not show that the said Alexander M. York was a member of the Legislature of the state of Kansas. Seventh The said information shows that Alexander M. York was not an officer for which any charge of bribery could be made against defendant. Eighth The information ought to state with certainty that an election was holden, and that at that election the vote was given.

Ninth That said information shows that no proper or concise statement of any offense has been charpred. "NEST-HIDING." In the statement of Theodore Tilton before the Plymouth church committee, made public July 21, the following paragraphs contain the gist of the whole matter, and is the text of Til-ton's statement. The balance of the statement comprises a scries of letters, confessions, confirmatory of the charges herein made 3. That about nine years ago Rev. Henry Ward Beecher began and thereafter continued a friendship with Mrs.

Tilton, for whose native delicacy and extreme religious sensibilities he olten expressed to her husband a high admiration, visiting her from that time until the year J870, when for reasons hereinafter stated, he ceased such visits, during which period, by many tokens and attentions, he won the affee tionatc love of Mrs. Tilton, whereby after long, moral resistance by her, and after repeated as saults by him upon her, and with overmastering arguments, accomplished possession of her person, maintaining with her henceforward, during the period hereinafter stated, a relation called criminal intercourse, this relation being regarded by her during that period as not criminal or morally wrong, such had been the power of his arguments as a clergyman to satisfy her religious scruples against the violation of virtue and honor. 4. That on the evening of October 10th. 1 18G8, or thereabouts, Mrs.

Tilton held an inter counted for. He is one of the stockholders in the Plymouth joint stock gospel institution, and if Iicecher falls, his stoek will be worthless. Rev. S. B.

IIalliday, Beeeher's, ass-istant pastor, says "It would take one hundred Tiltons to shake my faith in Mr. Beecher and if an angel were to come down from heaven and tell nie Mr Beecher was guilty, I would not believe if" FEELING IN NEW YORK AND BROOKLIN OYER THE "BEECHER BUSINESS." St. Louis, July 25, A special from New York to the Evening Dispatch, referring to the Beecher-Tilton affair, says: There never was such a scandal known before in New York, if indeed in the whole country. The press is filled with it, and it is nothing uncommon to see three or four extras a day on the streets here containing the latest developments in the "Beecher business." This is now the name of the thing. Great interest is manifested to hear Moulton testify, but so far the committee has not called for him, and he prefers that Beeeher's statement shall be first handed in.

He remarked to-day to a reporter of the Sun, that Tilton had not told the half. DESTRUCTIVE DELUGE AT PiTTSBURQ GHENY CITY. ALLE- A terrible rain-storm passed" over Pittsburg and Allegheny City last Sunday night, inundating those cities with a deluge of water, destroj-ing an immense amount of property and the lives of over two hundred persons. Slaughter houses and other buildings by the hundred were swept before the torrent, and huge stones rolled from the side hills by force of the current. The track of the flood is marked by wrecks of dwellings, bridges, immense heaps of stone, high piles of flood wood, and the torn and ragged sides of the hills.

The extent of the damage is twenty to twenty-five miles in diameter. The prevailing theory seems to be that the disaster was caused by some kind of water-spout. BEECHER RAPIDLY LOOSING GROUND. Dispatches from New York, July 25, say A most complete revolution has taken place in the public opinion within the past few days, with regard to the guilt of Beecher Where he had fifty warm friends and defenders before Til-ton's statement was published he lias now only three or four, and these generally BI.TXOM WOMEN, who think his sin is not such a horrible one after all. Many old and respectable families are mentioned as having announced their intention of withdrawing from his church at once in deed of never attending divine service again within its precincts.

Mrs. Tilton's statement has fallen stillborn from her pen. Nobody counts in at all in a discussion of the pros and cons of the case. THE LAST PRAYER IKEETIG AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH. New York, July 25.

There was as good at- last night, but several of the best known members of Plymouth church were absent. The hymns given out were consolatory in their tendency, and in the prayer the warmest sympathy for their suffering pastor, and most earnest so licitatlohs for his safe deliverance were express ed. Kcv. Mr. IIalliday, the assistant pastor, closed the services by giving out the hymn, "Mid scenes of confusion and creature com plaints" which was sung with considerable feeling.

After the benediction had been pronounced, members GATHERED IX GROUPS', and Mr. IIalliday remarked, so that all might hear "I suppose you are all anxious to hear how Brother Beecher is to-night. I left him an hour ago and he is in admirable spirits and I believe weighs more than he has for a year." Mr. IIalliday said later that he had tried to. get Beecher to attend the meeting, but the beloved pastor was too.

busy and hurried. Being asked if Beecher was still preparing his statement, IIalliday rcplid "Possibly; I don't know but that he has it already prepared." WILL THEY TRY IT AGAIN? Last fall the Republicans of this county succeeded by a ruse cleverly played upon the farmers, in electing a Republican ticket, under the guise of the farmers movement. Watching their opportunity and taking advantage of the disaffection in the ranks of the Settlers party, they succeeded in organizing a formidable oppo sition under the popular farmers movement. Having called their Republican convention before their stroke of policy was discovered, they disposed of that matter by adjourning their convention to meet again the same day the Farmers' convention was to meet. Cunningly the schema crs of the Republican party went to work pulling the wires and fixing things so there would be no jars and discords in effecting a compromise and a union of the two elements and when the "Farmers' convention'' met it was a singular that the delegates (with few ex eeptions) to the Republican convention, we're also delegates to the Farmers' convention, and that nine men out of every ten delegates in the Farmers' convention were straight republicans! The result is well known.

The coalition was formed, a republican ticket nominated and elected. Thus it was, the republican party in this county, hated, dispised and branded as a public enemy by our people disguised itself in the habiliments of a "fanner," and thus won the popular confidence, which every member well knows to-day it could never extort by merit, or under ii -hi it its own name and colors. Tim only hope of the i i republican party tor success this fall, is to play a similar game. We think the people have had). enough of such and their style of reform.

Uiyner claims to be an interrcstel party, and brought suit to compel the production of all the facts in the Beecher-Tilton scandal. WOcDiiULL AND CLAFLIN TO THE FRONT. Mrs. Woodhull and Tennie Claflin arrived in New York last Friday and are now at work, it is preparing documentary evidence, that will associate Beecher in adultery with more than a dozen women of his congregation. THE INDEPENDENT CONVENTION.

Reduced Fare on a'l Railroads. The editor of the Atchison Patriot has interested himself in the matter of reduced rates for delegates to attend the Independent convention at Topcka August 5, and in corresponding with the several railroad companies in the state, has secured the promise of reduced fare for delegates on all the roads in the state. Melius, can't you be generous ami nominate McDowell for sotnn position. Anything -will do, just so he is "brought out," We were highly flattered for awhile, but to our disgust, we have lately found that this fellow's efforts to glorify us, was only his fun-pokings, and we warn Melius not to place confidence in him. Lea is not what he seems.

The Leavenworth Times seems to know some of the secrets of the Beecher-Tilton scandal In a late issue it says We have means which we cannot state puMicly of kn iwing that the statement of Mr Tilton is litterly true, aii-1 we know, further, that if it becomes necessary to prove whst he he is able to corroborate his testimony by the testimony of disinterested pnrties jvhose veracity connof be impeached. A prominent Republican in this town openly boasted upon our streets a few days ago that, "the republicans had gained a victory last fall that he helped set the wires two weeks before the convention knew that none but republi cans would be nominated in the convention." This is true, and yet wc are toll that that was a reform ticket i Farmer's ticket. The same -gune is to be tried this fall. It is a remarkable circumstance that the official paper of the county the Baxter Republican should publish Ex treasurer Vincent's final statement last Week, without one word of comment. In these piping times of corruption and defalcations it would certainly be interesting to even the readers of the Republican, to know we have had one honest treasurer in Cherokee conn- But seriously, if we belonged to Mcl'owell's party we would support him for Attorney-General, jr we be-liere he is as able a lawyer, with two exceptions, as there is in the concern, and that is not saving much for McDowell.

Baxter Republican. Little wc care for your opinion of our ability, if 3-011 will just say you will support us. You know the question of ability is never a consid cration with your support. It's that other thing that well, 3011 know. Just name your figures, and we will consider the matter.

So greedy is he for office, th at he would accept any-4hing from Prexidi-iit of the United States down to 'seoond-sssistrint cook-scullion, by brevet, on a flnt-boat. Anything ftr office, you know. But as we have never nominate 1 McDowell for any position, we assure him we never will. Wc merely pave the of the Independent Democratic Liberal Reform party, as we apposed it to be, and now the fellow really thinks we tvor his nomination. Baxter Republican.

YVa impious wretch Just as we were at that pot ul; when all things sublunary were fast f.iding in the light of our exalted glory, you wing bring us down, mercilessly destroy the last vestige of hope for fame, and now despondency is ours. Vain hopes The JornNAl. would like to know very much what the Republicans of this county arc going to do this 11, nd we would gladly give it the desired information but for one reason we do not own the Republican party, therefore ci.nt tell. Wc can assure the Joinx-Ai, of one thing, however, the Republic:" party will do nothing for which it will afterwards be ashamed. I will Tii-ike no hr.aty mores, nor will it nominate men whom it will afterward be compelled to withdraw from the ticket, a did the opposition party.

Baxter Republican. The main reason why you do not inform your readers of the movements of the republican party in this county, is transparent to all. One thing you do know, and that is, you and your party dare not nominate a straight Republican county ticket. It's very name is a stench among the people of the county. This you well know, and therefore like," the party is waiting for Bomcthing to turn up waiting anxiously wait ing for an opportunity to slide into the camp of the farmers, and gobble them and the offices as the party did last fall.

All that act contrary to the true principles within and around them are serving God falsely.

What is religion and serving God? Is it words and ceremonies? It is the real life and actions of a man. If one human act is religious then all aro. There are two sides to religion (as 'well a3 all other subjects,) the true and the false. All unnecessary words, forms and cere monies are foolishness and a perversion of our tenses and faculties, which we better grow some useful and beneficent employment. It is seek truth have no fear.

Tilton I respectfully call public attention to the fact that though the Church committee have this morning published eight or ten columns of a desultory conversation between Mr. Beeeher's counsel an 1 myself in the committee room, yet this volumious report strangely omits the most important part of my testimony, nam ely that the criminality which my sworn statement charged upon Henry Ward Beecher and his religious victim was confessed to mc not only by herself but by Mr, Beecher. Furthermore, that it was confessed by her and him to Mr. Moulton, as the friend and counsellor of both and still further, that Mr. Moulton's office as mediator for four years between Mr.

Beecher and me was based on the one sole fact of the PR K- EX I ST I CR 1 I A I.ITY between Mr. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton. This statement I made to the committee with my utmost plainness of speech. I furthermore 1 oiMivn iu luv.

That engine has been released. Some of your fellow townsmen can tell you why it was released without further proceedings. The only just solution to this problem is that the road has sustained a loss of three or four hundred dollars no party has been benefited, and the time procrastinated at which a like amount of claims against the company would have been mot. There is not a corporation in Kansas or Missouri that mote exclusively appropriates its revenues to the liquidation of its debts than the C. and N.

W. railroad company. To-day! their road extends midway through Shawnee township, and they have been operating their road to a point near the center of the township for the past eight with 0,000 invested in the township, and not a dollar have they received from the township in the shape of subsidies. Now this may be all legal and in strict conformity with the laws of our state, and yet it is not healthy for a railroad company. In this vicinity the political mercury is below-zero, and thus far we have no candidates.

For hj "GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION." Mr.

Editor I have a few thoughts to express suggested by an article on the above subject, recently published in your journal. The subject was referred to a committee in congress lately, who wisely reported (so I think) to let the National Constitution on this subject remain as it is. That Constitution says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof which is the same as to say the "establishment" of any particular God. Suppose God was in the Constitution. Mr B.

would of course want that God to be such a God as he conceives and worships. I might conceive a very different God. Would Mr. B. want the Catholic God, or the Universalist, or the Spiritualist God in the Constitution? No, he would want his own God or none.

Before putting "God in the Constitution" it would be necessary to define who and what and where God is, so that the people of the United States would know the kind of a God they were thus to be compelled to recognize and acknowledge. Who would take the responsibility of defining for all the people of the U. S. a God after his own conception and ideal And who would be responsible for the "Bloody Inquisition" that would follow "God in the Constitution" on such conditions as the Rev. Mr.

B. would prescribe? Is not every man's God apart of his religion? If so, then the advocates of "God in the Constitution" want to annul the article above quoted and have Congress make a law "respecting the establishment of religion" and compel the people of this country to (virtually) conform to their religious opinions and forms. He intimates that all will be left free as before. If ho, then what will be effected? Freedom is what we boast of. The truth alone leads to freedom.

He who is after the truth and nothing but the truth, will leave every person to learn that truth in freedom, and not set up his ideas as a standard for a nation, and seek to compel people to recognize his conceptions of a God by written, human constitutions. How the world has been deluged with human blood i i by trying to compel people to worship and ac knowledge some imaginary God like the God of Moses, who slew men without stint by his God's authority If that is civilization and christiani- 1 mind, owing to the recent death and burial of a vous child, and during this interview an act of criminal commerce took place between this pastor and this woman, the motive on her part being, as hcreinfore stated, not regarded by her at the time as criminal or wrong, which act was followed by simular acts of criminality between the same parties at Tilton's residence during a pastoral visit paid by Mr. Beecher to her on a subsequent Saturday evening, followed also by other similar acts on various occasions from the autumn of 18C9 to the spring of 1870, the places being the two residences aforesaid, and occasionally other places to which her pastor would invite and accompany her, or at which he would meet her by appointment. These acts of wrong being on her part, from first to last, not wanton or consciously wicked, but rising through a binding of her moral perceptions under the powerful influence of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.

CORRESPONDENCE FR0.7! BROWNSVILLE. Ed. Journal "The day wc celebrate" has past. Another' national year has come, and must go, ere the American bosom heaves with patriotism or the Columbus cornet band hies to Oronogo. At this late hour incidents connected with the "eagle day" are too stale for recital.

Were it not so, the exercises on that day should be of such a character as to render lasting impressions and obviate the necessity of future comment. Wc will mention one feature of the Fourth at Oronogo. AVe do this because the "horn" talent of Cherokee county, in addition to playing their horns, played a conspicuous part in the solution of a knotty problem in profit and loss especially the latter. I cannot furnish yon a report in detail, but would refer you to Prof. Lon Hunt of your city, or C.

B. S. Jones of Oronogo. The curious can have a full explanation by holding a private conversation, of thirty minutes, with either of the above named gentlemen. Additional incidents connected with the Fourth at Smithfield or Orono go we reserve for our own reflections, notwithstanding many of them were very interesting and instructive in every respect worthy of mention.

Careful observation has taught that our neighbor, Temizer," is not a faithful chronicler of events of an emphatic local origin. And in support of the just made, we would generously charge him with having left out a ten-pound item in his last. The fol 1 i iovring local, or a similar one, a sim ilar idea, should have appeared in his list of items: And now comes no M. Griffith, look ing as fatherly as Isaac and Jacob, any other patriarch.
