is not another man in Brooklyn who
could have written it. =
I was present yesterday at little:
chitchat at the Court House, where a.
knot Of attorneys was gathered, and
there was but one opinion expressed
namely: that Mr.. Tilton's document
was
CONCLUSIVE AND FINAL.
This is the opinion of such men as
Judge Troy, Alden Spooner, Mr.. Pear
sail, Frederick Ward, Col. Lansing,
Harvey Loomis, Abiah Thornc, Dwight
johnson, Joseph Fletcher, and other
well.known citizens, both legal and lay.
This is the opinion also current in the
newspaper Offices, Notwithstanding the
editorial utterances Of some to the con-
tray.
Go to the Eagle Office, the Union
Office and the Argus Office, and nine-
teen out of twenty Of all the employees
of those establishments will tell you
that Mr.. Tilton has proved his case. So
90 with most Of our clergy, in their
private talk. l cannot speak for
Storrs, Tallmadge, or Cuyler, with.
whom i have not conversed but I
could name the names Of certain other
clergymen in Brooklyn who forbid me-
to refer to them except thus indefinite.
ly) who do not hesitate to say in pri-
vate-and who, perhaps, by-and-by,
will say in public-that, while they re-.
spected Mr.. Beecher's original denial,
and put faith in it, yet his subsequent
inadequate explanations Of his letters
shook this first faith. and Mr.. Tilton s.
final statement has destroyed it Alto
gether.
EVEN PLYMOUTH CHURCH,
like Wallers's cottage of the soul,
Lets in new light
Through chinks that time has made.
Capt. Duncan, former Superintendent,
Of the Sunday School, and always q.
bluff and hearty friend of the pastor,
says openly, in the streets, that Mr.
Beecher is proven guilty. Stephen
Griswold. without saying this, says
that Mr.. Bcecher had failed to prove
himself innocent,--which, in this case,
is the same thing. Other members Of
the church sigh and moan in private
over the milestone which Tilton has
hung round their pastors neck.
The effect Of Mir. Tilton's statement
on the public appreciation Of the Com
mittee Of Six is almost ludicrous. As
usual in such cases, it is impossible to
fix the responsibility on every member;
so a scapegoat is chosen. John Wins
low, the author Of the Committees re-
port, is the suffering victim in this in
stance. Mr.. Winslow is lawyer, and
his brethren of the bar give him sly
pokes of fun at the clever manner in
which Mr.. Tilton destroyed Mr.. Wins
lows report-particularly by quoting
the Church's document against the
Church's verdict.
Mr.. KiRsella, whom Mr.. Tilton touch.
ed on the raw, declines to reply, under
pretense Of being out Of town.
All round the circle Mr.. Tilton's
statement was surprise, for even his
intimate friends did not expect from
him SO powerful document.
"What do you think of it," 1 asked
one Of our solid merchants on the
Heights.
"Well," said he, thoughfully, 81 am
a forger.''
"Why so?''
Because he has forged a thunder
bolt BOHEMIAN.

of Mrs. Morse and her daughter con-
tain. One Of the most eminent lawyers
of our local bar said to me to-day, in
the City Hall, "Mr. Tilton ought to
have been . lawyer; he has handled
his case with mastery ability. The
passage in which he analyses Mr..
Beccher's letters, showing how they all
point to the crime of adultery, weuld

sduced. :~..... +
Mr.. Tilton's two lawyers, Judge Nor,

had been for some time engaged in pre-
pairing the statement, felt some anxiety

The nature and history of this balance have
already been full Y disclosed and commented

The only remaining question is: Can

ting the proposition in another form:
Is the defendant obliged to pay more

Judgment ;ulrusted to him as collateral
for collection. l: is evident that had he
been more on the Hui vive and exhausted
all the remedies known to the law. it was
not possible Tor him to have collected as
much as he has already paid. The plain.
tiff. then. has certainly lost nothing. and
his loss should be the standard OF Lewis
responsibility. This is my Interpretation OF
the authorities ON the subject. c. G. of 49,,

A BOLD BURGLAR ARRESTED AND Com
MITTED.-On the night of the thirty first
ultimo the residence of Mr.. j. K. DamOnte
at the corner of Magazine and Walnut
streets, was invaded by a burglar who was
discovered under a bed by servant, who
raised an alarm, when the man fed, but
Mr. Damonte saw him as he was passing
through garden. Officer Gamer was near,
heard the call and pursued over fences and
into Magazine street. The burglar would
not halt when ordered, but ran as if for
his life. A shot or two finally changed his
course, and he fell as if wounded. Gamer
was over him on the instant, and discovered
that he was not wounded, only badly fright
ened. 1t proved to be Etienne johnson,
who has long been suspected as a thief, but
up to that time nothing criminal had been
fastened on him. He was taken to the sew
enth precinct stationhouse, where he &C
knowledged that he intended to make a
raise. He was sent before Judge McCul-
Tough and prosecuted. The evidence against
him was so conclusive that the papers were
sent to the Criminal Court. Officer Gamer

OLIVE On FROM COTTON SEED.--More
than four years ago the REPUBLICAN ex.
posed the fact that most of the oil sold in
this market for olive oil was manufactured
from the product of cotton seed, and now
comes the Picoya,,le and informs its readers
of the same fact. Well, better late than
never, but it is better to never be late.
