E1IIon and HlonIIon Indicted.


New YORK, Oct. 3.-The Evening
Post publishes the following: "Mr.
Beecher was before the Grand Jury
about an hour to-day, answering
9aesijenAv from members of that
body in reference to the published
articles attacking his character. The
Indictment of TheO. Tilton for libel
of Mr.. Beecher was then specified
and read to the latter, who said it
| was correct. The document sets
forth that Theo. TiIton wickedly
and maliciously; and with intent to
scandaliZe Rev. III. w. Beecher in
his good name, fame and character,
snbjecting him to contempt and dis
yraee; and to provoke him and his
friends to commit a breach of the
peace, published4on or about Sept.
18th, or caused to be published in
the Daily Graphic and circulsted in
Brooklyn aud elsewhere q false,
scanddlous and malicious libel con-
corning him. The part of the arti-
Gle referred to was the alleged COM
mission of adultery in October,
1865, with Mrs. Triton and the as
serlicn as TO the doubtful paternity
of the child born the following year.
The grand jury also read to Beech
err second indictme6t against
Frank ID. Moulton, which is word
ed similar TO that found against Til
ton, charging him with Iibelling
Beecher by causing Che publication
of false, malicious and scandalous
reports i'll the Daily Graphic. Az
ter Beecher lefi 'he grand jury pre-
sented indictln... 10 the court of
general sessions, and were discharg-
ed by Judge Moore, who thanked
them for their services.
The counsel for the Brooklyn Ea-
gle appeared before Judge Nelson
and asked that the suits for libel
brought against his client by Henry
&. Bowen be consolidated. Decis-
ion was reserved.
Messrs. Tilton and Moulton will
not be formally arrested, but will
be notified to appear on Monday,
and furnish bonds pending their tri-
al, which, it is intimated, will take
place at an early day.
There was great excitement in
Brooklyn when it became known
that Mr.. Beecher had appeared be-
fore the grand jury and made COM
plant against Tilton and Moulton,
and that indictments were found
against them for malicious libel and
SANDER. It is understood that
when Bcecher gave his testimony
he was in the highest degree en-
phatic, and declared that the allega-
tions of Tflton and Moulton against |
himself, Mrs. Tilton and other ia |
dies wereatrocious falsehoods.

SALARY GRABRlNC.


Z
We understand that Hon. p. b.
Maxson, who was an aspirant for
Congressional honors this year
before the Republican convention
at EmpOria, and got beaten, now
sqppoEts Maj. J. X. Hudson, and
charges Judge Brown with being a
salary grabber in having received
$500 additional salary for the year
The constitution Of our State pro-
vides that the salaries OF Judges
sAsA not be raised during the time
FOR which they were elected. Up
70 about, the Ist of March, 1868,
hesalaries of Judges was 81, 500.
judge Brown was elected in Nov,
user, and hence the law increasing
the salaries of Judges from 81, 800
to $4,000 did not apply to him, SO
ttHat WhiIsiths ] Judges in the LIST,
t2d. Sd, 4th, and 9th, districts were
receiving s., 600 for the years 1869,
1870 and 1871, Judges Brown and
Gpodin were doing the same
amount Of work at a salary of 81.
500, Regularly the election OF
Judge in the 9th district should
have taken place in 1871, but ow,
ing to some misrepresentation Of
the law, no election was held thai
lyear and Judge Brown held Over
until Jan. 1873. The question
then was what salary should hi
have during the extra year Of ser
vice. He had been elected for foul
years, and during that time had re
kceived but 81 800 a year. Wha
salary should he receive the 5tl
year? The Supreme Court in tn,
case Of the State of Kansas on til,
relation of John r. Goodin agains
A. Thoman, Auditor, decided tn,
salary to be $4,000. So Judg
Brown having for three year receiv
ed $500 less than the other Judges
did not feel that if the law gave i
to him there was any reason tina
he should receive that amount les
for the fourth year, applied for tn,
: extra $4,000 and got it. And b,
so doing for the 5 years he served
got but 50, 900, while Judges Nor
ton, Watson, Bassett and other
received the same amount 70
four. They were elected one yea
later and received the same amour
1 for their four years service, tina
I Brown did for his five. II this i
f salary grabbing we certainly can
: not see it. And that we have no
misstated the facts we refer to an
honest lawyer in the State VIII,
will verify what we have said

JUDGE BROWN AND THE
RAILRNAEbS

The report reaches us that the
enemies of the Republican nomi-
nee for Congress in this district,
w. X. Brown, are circulating sto-
RES to the effect that he is a Grail
road man." and will be unduly in
iuenced by these corporations if
elected. Judge Browns course on
the bench is so well known that it.
hardly seems necessary to say any
thing to refute these reports. For
the past seven years he has been
on the bench and daring that time
all the railroads into Southwes-
tern Kansas have been constructed,
so that he can have no record in
reference to the great railroad
question except as Judge. An at
torney in this city well versed in
such matters, recently called our
attention to four cases in the
Supreme Court of this State, taken
up:from his district, and stated that
these four were all the railroad
cases that had ever gone up
from the 9th district. These cases
were: "The State of Kansas VS.
Jackson Armele;" ~. r. Blackshire
VS.. the A. L. d S. F. r. Il. Co."
"W. Stanford VS.. the A. T. &.S. r.
r. r. Cos" ''Arnold & Robbins vs..
the n. X. & T. Railway CO..
These four cases, involving impor-
tant questions, were all appealed
to the Supreme Court by the rail,
road companies; were all argued
by corporation lawyers to obtain
revcrsals, and with the exception
of the last, were all affirmed, and in
that the judgment was not set
aside but merely modified in favor
of the companies.
, He also tells us that the great cas-
es involving the right to tax the
} lands of the Atchison, Topeka 4
; Santa Fe railroad Co., in Chase,
Marion and Harvey counties, were
first brought before Judge Brown
that he held the lands taxable or
the argument in reference to s
) temporary Injunction; that Their
, the Railroad Co. dismissed in Judge
Browns Court, and again brought
suit in the Circuit Court of the
: Unite States, where the cases
} were tried before Judges Miller anG
Dillon and the same decision
made as had been previously made
by Judge Brown.
This record is certainly honOra
, BILE to the Judge. 1t shows that he
= has decided the law-that he has
t given it impartially, rs the re
: suit in other courts show, an(
, that the people certainly thus fa'
have had no cause to complain
r AS Judge he has done his duty
and will he not do it as Congress
man? What better guaranty do the
3 people want? We know the answer
l in November will be, "we wan
. none" The man who, on his oatl
) as Judge, has done his duty by the
: people will not be rccreant on his
oath as Congressman.

Three or four hundred of the vo-
tiers ofJackson and Platte counties,
Missouri. published a strange re-
guest for Hon. r. T. VanIIorn, edi-
