The specific charge against Ati«lin la that he opened correspondence with pension claimants representing that ho was possessed of Inttueiice and could secure favorable action on their da I ma. The case of Helen R. Riclinrtteon, ef Teciimcoh, Mich., la noted in tlie com phi hit against Austin. Ha wrote to her that he could get h6r claim through, and would ex- pect her to pay hint well for Ills servi­ ces; also, that he was examining her case, and that as soon as lio could brief the evicjpnc* and make the report it would be settled, and that she must not divulge this, or lie would be re­ moved from office, |v ne re as he had been removed several months before. Cein- niissiouer Dudley Is taking apeoial Interest In this class of cases, and it is hinted that tlie ca?e of Au&tiu ia but a small one, compared to others uaw un­ der investigation. Attorney General Brewster has writ­ ten an important opinlou lu reply to a question submitted by Secretary Fol- ger regarding the payment of interest on money borrowed by the state of New York during the war of the rebel­ lion for the enrolliiieuti.aubsistenco and clothing for troop*. Pennsylvania, Ohio and several other northern states havo presented claims of a similar char acter, which involve hundreds of thous­ ands of dollars in taxes. The Attorney General, after a carefu* review of the aot ol July 27,1801, which provides for tlie payment by the Secretary of "the Treasury, out of any money not other­ wise appropriated, to the governor or authorized agent of any state, the costs properly incurred In raising its troope for tlie suppression of the rebel­ lion, says that the claim ot Interest paid by the state of New York on the money borrowed for this purpose does eras In I>ibby, and n good deal richer; but otherwise unchanged. As Uncle Remus says the coloneTa Mmln wn* alius wukklng." After two or three ef his attempts to get out of Llbby had failed, he began to suspect that his failures were the result of treachery In the prisoner's camp. ESchange, like kissing, went by favor. The eolouel, after thinking each failure over, came to the oonclu«len that some peer iovll .vtv* selling his manhood for a mess ef pottage --currylug the favor which would "exchange" him to his home lv 1 betraying the p?a>*s ef hie oompanlons- ill-arms to the enemy, lie looked about for the man. Cautleua inquiries at longtli gave him such Information as prompte I him te say to each of the other Ave regular army office re: "Meet me at such a spot at midnight, I have found a traitor.

He knew that he was quite capable of the crime charged against hint. He had uo doitbt of his guilt. He wanted to see him punished. lie said all this to the otlipr members of tlte court, and then !«• added : '-But you know we are not a legal court-martial. We have no au­ thority to act, certainly uo authority to kill. We may sift the evidence pre­ sented against a man fer our own sa - iafactiou, but we cannot sentence, much less kill him. The most we can do is to prefer charges against him In the War Department. We can't kill him ." Suddenly Interrupting himself he said,"Colonel, what's that In your hand?" "Tlie rope," said the Colonel grimly;"I've been platting it as wa talked," and lie passed it around. He had taken nn aid fhlrt* IWR it i«to narrow atr-lps and woven it into some­ thing that looked like a rope. "New, Major," he said when l( h*n<led back to hiiu, "what you have&ti<\ U *U very well.

The sentence of the court is that the scoundrel shall die, and die he Kill this minute or I'll kill him myself.

There he aat, till the gray morning cam* stealing in through the chilly at- nio.vphere. Long before that time the ixilonel and his companions, battled and disgusted, had stolen aw&y to tlie If sleeping place*. Carrying the platted rope with thoni. As soon as the major Could see the traitor's face In the dim light of the dawn, lin waked him and told hlin all that had occurred, "Now, sir," he said sternly, "I saved your life last night, although 1 believed yuu worthy of death. I won't do It again. 1 saved your life for my sake, net fer yours.

The stalwart six forwarded charges against him from Llbby. When they got out of prison they found him ont of the army, so they dropped the matter.

EDITOR PI.AINDRAI.EK:--AS a psycol- ogietl fact It is remarkahlu (hat how­ ever wary or astute any of iw may be In respect to the ordinary affairs of life, on BiMkml exegesis we are often per- veraely Inexact and Inattentive in view of the essential conditions requisite to the formation of a rational judgment. This it illustrated in the case of these expoaltora who apply tlie whole of the prophesy In Matt.lM to the demolition of the chief dty of tlie .lewa, the over­ throw of the nation and hierarchy. Titers are half a soere of testa in this chapter which oa&jiot In any rational way be ma<ie to apply to thla CAtastro- phe; notably among them are ariclt aa treat of the "oomlng of tho Son ol man." It I* the erode** of nil oeueelta In tbeordinary death of the In- wherever met with, are aa shallow as they are dlalngeiilous Equally falla­ cious Is the notion which ffn:ls expres­ sion in such phrases as "typical com- ing," •'providential or spiritual coming" which commentators are so fond of using. Jesus in former interviews, as In tlie one mentioned in tills chapter, had apprised his disciples of a future coining of his which was to be coinci­ dent or connected with extraordinary events; and tills coming in f«ery instance, was Associated with the Idea of a personal reappearing. The ex pectation of this personal cotuiug of (Thrlat la referred to r«|ientedly In tli) Kplatlee and In the Apocalypse, From beginning to end there is not a wor.l or hint that this coming was to be other than a visible personal reappear­ ing. 1 make thosa remarks here to forestall that vicious habit of exposi­ tion which is always finding a figure of speech wherever a supposed dltlictHty is encountered, and U ever tacitly at­ tributing to inspiration, equivocation or amblgnltlea in tlte nse of language. Rut I have no occn&loti te further dls ema thit issue here. The point I wish »o raise ia, that whatever thU coin Wig may a|g«U.v% oi* thliue certain. It was, or la to be abritpt, sudden and without warning. It is important Utat thla condition be distinctly appruhend ed. The coming of Christ to usher In the Anal Judgment, alluded to in the New Tenement, in numecou* passages. Is also associated with thU SH>ue idea of abruptness of advent, devoid of pre- llittlntury signs calculated ta forewarn the iuhabttanta of eartlu lu this reaped tl*e two coses are parallel. But without stopping to discus* thla last idea in detail, «»ur business is here with the coining of the sou of man tuetu loued In the 24th chapter of Matthew. It was to be sudden t\nd without warning. Now, as lreepeots the overthrow of Jeiitsalem. where do wo find In the his tory of that transaction anything an­ swering to this idea of a sudden unfor- seen event? We shall search for swh evidence in vain; It cannot be. found. On the oontn*-y, tlie storm of war. which the Jews themselves had pro­ voked, waa seen approaching from afar oft, and provided for in a measure. Two vvd a half years were consumed by Vespasian lu reducing the ou'lylng portion* of Palestine preparatory to the siege. The operations of the Reman ariny in taking po&ltloii afound the walled capital were no more abrupt than such transact ions usually are. Through long month* of varying sue cesses ami reverses the siege progressed Little by little the wails were battered down and possession taken, and there was no special day or hour when--with the suddenness of a Hash of lightning, or, as in the days of Noah the flood came--it could be said with truth the doom fe'.l upon tlie city and nation. Thus we see, tills theory breaks down at every point. But the question arises: What are we to do with tlie fact that It la affirm­ ed "This generation shall not pass (away) till all these things be fid tilled?" This brings us face to faoe with a class of counter difficulties supposed by son\e to he fatal to any interpretation other th*u the one under review. Com- meiititar& have not been slow in receg •listing theae difficulties, and not ajlittle labor and ingenuity have been expend­ ed in tlte aftort |o ovcicome the in lu the interest of some rival scheme of exegesis. But unfortunately the mul­ tiplicity of conflicting opinions ia proof that lliey have not in every Instance heen successful; and it I* questionable whether they have in all ea«es, mani­ fested that Judicial fairness of exposi­ tion that the importance of the subject imperatively demands.
