The London correspondent of the
Liver
pool Courier writes to tbat-
j(,nrnal: It has been hinted from time
to time that one of our wealthy Lou
don journals has "under, considera
tion" the practicability of printing its
shoots in several of the great towns
simultaneously, in order to secure a
distribution of its copies fas early as
the various local journals which are
so fast depreciating the circulation
ami once paramount influence of their
London contemporaries. , How can
this staggering feat be accomplished?
The loading journal had its atten
tion drawn some weeks ago to an
electric machine in operation at the
London Stock Exchange, by which
the fluctuating quotations are tele
graphed to a nnmber of city offices,
where an instrument, composed of
movable figures and a dial plate,
is made to record changes from,
hour to hour. If an electric cur
rent can be made to manipulate
movable figures, it was conceived that
a system of mechanical type-setting
might be carried on simultaneously in
a number of distant places, the opera
tion beiner directed from a central of
fice in London, the news being there
collected from all parts of the world,
:nd that the "copy" might be put in
type at several provincial offices sim
ultaneously by operating on an elec
tric keyboard, or a number of key
boards, controlled in the central of
li.n This idea, like so many other
inventions, is not new. Mr. Mackay,
of the Warrington Guardian, work
ed upon the same line of invention
about eight years ago, to my knowl
edge, and simultaneous type setting
by machinery was by him carried to
a practical issue, though he found
that his invention did not result in
profit. He worked a number of type
setting machines by operating on the
key-board and proposed to set up col
umns for an v number of uewspapers
by this' simultaneous process, the only
difference being that the various rua
chines could not bo placed in distant
places. In other words, he did not

- fact remains that he actually worked
ten or twelve machines on this princi
ple of connected action, "which derived
its ilifw-t ?nr nnurpr from otifi kev-

board. There is no moral doubt tnat
the eame thing can be done on wider
scale bv-; electric agency. But, if
doiie, would the game be worth the
candle? I know the TZmes, or rather
the manager of its mechanical depart
ment, is putting the thing to a private
' test in order to ascertain its mechani
cal practicabilities. If that can be
made clear, the Times directors are
not likely to he deterred by financial
timidity from the next Rtep in the un
paralleled adventure. What a world
of journalistic development the pros
pect opens to prescient eyes !

Mr. Beach concluded bis speech U
the jury in theTilton-Beecher case at
Brooklyn Wednesday,, with some
further pungent re vie and criticism
of Beeclier's peculiar ; religious ideas,
sis expressed in his Writings and ser
mrins, to demonstrate that he. was
about as bad as Tilton in the free
thinking line, if not decidedly worse.
Among other things .Mr. Beach quo
ted from one of Beecher's - talks, in
' which the latter said he would rather
, have been the prodigal son than his
T brotlier, who was too stingy to drink
and too unsympathetic to gin lasci
viously. This quotation Mr. Sher
man protested against as an outrage,,,
but he was taken all aback by the

Before J.J.- CaBsidey, United States Com
missioner:
In the case of the United States vs: W. J.
Edwardsi Jr., who was arraigned on Thnrs-'
day for. a violation of section 3,892 Revjsedi
Statutes of the United Stales, the defendant
was yesterday bound overdo the next term
of the United States District Court, which
meets in this city in November, in the sum
of $300. The required bail was given and
Edwards departed for home. :
L G'TM abfivq aj4jwaajciejfsome- little
peculiarity in its way. Defendant is aged
20 years ,and isespectably-connected. It
seems from theevraence produced in tne
investigation that several young ladies who
lived some distance apart were in the habit
of corresponding with each other frequently.
On many occasions they found that their
letters had been tampered with andreported
the matter to the post-master in charge of
the office at Rosindale. That official com
municated with Col. E. R. Brink for in
structions and as suspicion had been aroused
it was resolved to watch the further pro
gress (of the matter. It was known that
letters were taken out of the office by the
defendant ostensibly for the parties for
whom they were intended, and on arriving
at their destination it was found that they
had been tampered with and cut open on
the end and had then been glued up or
pasted together,' which seemed to establish
the fact, that their, content? had been ex
tracted and read and then replaced in such
a way as to escape detection, if possible, v.
Another circumstance was: in ;. evidence.
It was testified that on one occasion the
defeuiiai.'i i was at he Poslofflce when a
colored m'aii' bn-nght a letter there-which
was to he maiieii to a j'ouug lady acquaint
ance 4if the UefendanL The defendant
told the pobtoffice clerk who received the
letter that as he would visit the hause where
the young lady resided on ihe dayfter, he
would take the Jetter there himself. - No
ol.j.-ction being raised, the clerk cancelled
thu stamp and the letter was handed to dc
fendauL' It was delayed some time before
aching its destination, and was theu
handed to the person for whom it was in
tended by a colored man 'who stated' that
the defendant had requested him to deliver
it. On examination, this letter was found
to be pasted together in a bungling way at
the end, as if it had been opened and read.
No other reason seems to have been ad
duced for this alleged opening of letters on
the part of the defendanVTexceptthaf he
either desired to pry into' the secrets of
others or was anxious to know what the
ladies had to sayr or else ' what , they .said
about him. .
Tho' young ladies who testided in the
case were summoned for the prosecution.
They betrayed an unwillingness to testify,
In view of the above evidence the defend
ant was bound over as stated above.
Out Willi It. ,
Candof, will not, ther Board qt County
Commissioners probe the Index-Book job
to the bottom and give all the facts to the
public?. There is an odor, of rottenness
about it that is decidedly unpleasant, and
that ought to be traced to its source and
neutralized. ' ,
Why did the Chairman pro tern! of the
Board contract with Smyth to do the work
at such an extravagant price? Is he not to
blame for that? Why, as charged by Mr!
Wilson, has the work been imperfectly per
formed by Smyth? And if the work were
not progressing satisfactorily, why? were
Smyth's, bills , approved , by, the , Auditing
Committee of the Board of Commissioners?
Is it' true, as reported, that " addition,
division and silence" was the motto in this
transaction? .r
There are other pertinent interrogatories
that might be propounded, and that ought
to be answered; for as the matter now
stands it is a stigma on the Commissioners
and the county. Certainly, there are some
members of the Board who are interested
in bringing out all the facts in this case.

The following little incident that occurred
