CURRENT TOPICS. 
The ©rent Preacher Exonerated. 
Henry Ward Rekcrek's trial at tlio bar of 
Public Opinion for the heinous crime with 
which he wits charged by Theodore Tilton, and 
his acquittal of all blame by the great majority 
of those who first believed him culpable or 
who doubted hit innocence, are still topics of 
absorbing Interest. As we view the matter—in 
the light of the statements and testimony of 
Mr. Beecher, Mrs. Tilton, and others—the crime 
is “ not proven." On the contrary, the most 
remarkable and popular preacher and lecturer 
of the ago Is fully vindicated from any 
greater wrorig than weikness In not long 
ago boldly facing and defying Ida traducera— 
for hfs enemies have really proved nothing 
else, except their own malicious wickedness. 
Mrs. Tilton's remarkable statements and re¬ 
tractions may be fully accounted for by the 
wonderful metmerta Influence which her de¬ 
signing husband exerted over her. Mr. Tilton, 
after having dishonored ids own bed ami dis¬ 
graced his family and friends, used his confid¬ 
ing wife (through the strong control of her will 
by the power which, In her testimony, site said 
seemed mesmeric,) as an instrument to crush 
f lic man whom his jealous soul could riot bear 
to sec standing higher than himself. From all 
that appears Moulton was Tilton’s tool. Mr. 
Boecher’s great fault was his weakness in trust¬ 
ing his enemies as bosom friends, and in tub¬ 
taking blackmail for charity. Whatever com¬ 
mittees, courts or threats may do in future, the 
public will bo divided In opinion; yet,from the 
statement of Mr. Beecher, and the testimony 
adduced, we arc constrained to believe the 
accused innocent of any intentional wrong¬ 
doing. The scandal lias been must, infamous 
and demoralizing, and we hope society will 
never Bee the like again. Much that the prose i 
lms published on the subject is unfit to be read 
by either the rising r risen generation, and a I 
disgrace to the boasted “ enterprise " of Amer- t 
lean journalism. 
Doctor of Laws from Cambridge. In 1867 he 
preached the sermon before the Pan-Anglican 
Council in London. His name was made con¬ 
spicuous by his controversy with Rev. C H 
Cheney or Christ Church, Chicago, now Bishop 
of the Reformed Episcopal Church. Bishop 
Whitehouse was of late years high church in 
Ills views, and the controversy referred to arose 
from hia attempt to restrain Mr. Cheney's low 
church Ideas and discipline him for disobe¬ 
dience,

The Escape of Bazalne. 
Marshal Baza ink’s escape from the Isle of 
Saint Marguerite, lib prison homo, on Sunday 
night week, Is among the niuht not Me foreign 
news since our last. The manner of his esc ipe 
Is unknown, except that ho used a rope ladder 
and got on board a vessel bound for Italy_the 
night, being dark ami stormy. The apartments 
occupied by the Marshal opened upon a terrace 
which was built upon a lofty and precipitous 
cliff overhanging the sea. 
He must have crossed the terrace in the dead 
of night, and, eluding I lie sentinel, gained the 
edge of t he precipice. Thence by moans of a 
knotted rope he descended to t he Hea. Under 
the cliff In a hired boat wore Bazline's wife 
nnd cousin. She received him as ho reached 
the water, and the former, taking the oars her¬ 
self, rowed directly to a strange steamer which 
had been lying of tire island since ( ie previous 
evening. They reached the vesiel in safety, 
were taken on board, and the steamer then put 
to sea. Tim first news of the affair came to 
Grasse, the nearest place on the coast, and the 
magistrates of the town immediately sent, offi¬ 
cers in every direction to aeacli for the fugitive. 
Grout excitement was caused In Parisand Mar¬ 
seilles by the nows. An investigation was 
opened and the commandant of Fort Marguer¬ 
ite arrested, The latest account (Aug. 15) says 
that Bazaino has arrived at Cologne, where he 
is awaiting the arrival of hi* children. He de¬ 
clares tlittt. only his wife and brother-in-law 
assisted him to escape;—and a letter from Ma- 
damo Bazaino, published in a Paris paper, de¬ 
clares that she planned the escape herself, and 
had no accomplice exoopt one of her relatives. 
Thero is a romantic story about her rowing lb© 
boat in which the Marshal escaped from the 
Fort to a steamer. 
The history of Marshal llazaine Is too well 
known to Ruiial readers to be repeated. For 
many years liis career in the French army was 
brilliant, hut the surrender ol his army during 
the late Franco-Prusstan war caused great dis¬ 
satisfaction. He was Anally tried and found 
guilty (Dec. 10,1873), by a military court of ca¬ 
pitulating without sufficient cause, and sen¬ 
tenced to degradation and death. President 
MacMahon commuted this penalty to 20 years 
imprisonment, with loss of rank, but spared 
the prisoner the humiliating ceremony which 
attends degradation. The Marshal was trans¬ 
ferred to the Island of Sainte Marguerite, op¬ 
posite Caunos, and was there confined to the 
limits of an ancient fortress until his recent 
escape.
