at one stage of the case it said to aege that Mr.
Beechcr was guilty Of improper intimacles every day
for period of time extending over several months.
Counsel did not really mean that the ofenses alleged

existed in the fact that il Mr. Tilton not able
to point to the particular day or days on which he
had been wronged it would DO his privilege to name
n number of days weeks in which he
believed he was wronged. Thus if Mr. Beecher
committed the oifense alleged against him
several times during any month, and Mr.. Titon
could not name the days. he would have the right
to charge in bill Of particulars that the oifenses
were committed every day during the month. lie

charged but would at least have the opportunity of

OPINIONS OF COUNSEL AND JUDGES.


Gen. b. f. Tracy, of counsel for the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. yesterday stated to TRIBUNE re-
porter that his side were anxious to go with the
case as soon as possible. Nevertheless, the counsel
for Mr.. Beecher would sacrifice Of his legal
rights simply for the sake of getting the trial on at
an early day. He did not know even ii the bill OF
particulars were handed in before Monday, whether
his side would be prepared to go ahead with tho
case on the day named. The bill OF particulars
might state that the offenses alleged against Mr..
Beecher were committed in Boston, Philadelphia or
some other city outside Of the State In such
a case time might be required to hunt up evil
dence in the places mentioned. lie believed that
Judge McCue would order Tiltons counsel to furnish
the bill asked for because all precedents favored
such supposition Ii the bill of particulars should
prove to be specific and complete in its character
and was of such nature as to allow Mr.. Beechers
counsel to proceed with the trial without sacrificing
any of their clients rights, then the case would prob
ably he proceeded with on Monday. lie thought that
there was possibility of finishing the case during
this term. He could not say positively what action
would be taken on Monday, for that would depend
in a very great measure upon tho character OF the
bill of particulars.
Mr. Thos Pearsall ex-Judge Morriss partner and
one of Mr.. Tilton's counsel, said that argument
would be made on Thursday, before Judge McCue,
against the motion for bill of particulars. In case
Judge McCue decided adversely to counsel for
Tilton, it would not take long to furnish
the bill applied for. There would be no
appeal taken by Mr.. TiltOn's counsel because
they were willing to waive few privileges for the
purpose Of getting on with the trial He said that
counsel on the other side desired TO know where the
offenses alleged were committed. Now" said
Mr.. Pearsal they know well enough that in our
complaint we said that Mr.. Beecher had committed
these offenses at his house and at Mr.. Tilton's
alsor MI. Pearsal did not favor the idea Of stating
in bill of particulars that Mr.. Beecher had COM
mitted adultery with Mrs Tilton every day for a
year. He intimated that the times and places where
the alleged improper intimacies were had might be
specified in the bill if required
One OF the most prominent and saracious Judges
of Brooklyn Informed the reporter that the trial
would proceed on Monday without doubt. Said he,
IF Judge McCue decides Thursday that bill
of particulars must be given. then the bill will I'M
doubtedly be furnished on that day. This will pre-
vent counsel for asking for delay the ground that
there are allegations in the bill which necesstate
time to hunt up evidence. Counsel will name from
Thursday until Monday to get at all the facts which
they desire. think you rely on the statement
that the case will begun on Monday"

THE BILL OFPARTICULARS TO BE GRANITE

One of the side issues of the great scandal case
will come up before Judge McCue tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock On Monday, Judge McCuc while
sitting in the Special term of the City Court heard
a motion from Thos. G. Sherman for an order re-
quirng Mr. Tilton's counsel to show cause why a
bill of particulars should not be furnished by them
The order granted after about five minutes dis
cusson, and made returnable tomorrow At the same
time stay of proceedings was granted by the
Judge The argument on Thursday will not DO
long. 1t is expected by Mr. Beecher's counsel that
Judge McCue will order that the bill asked for bo
furnished 1t will be remembered that he disagreed
with Judges Nelson and Reynolds when they denied
the motion for a bill of particulars. Should he de-
eide on Thursday that the bill must be given, Mr.
Tiltons counsel say it will be handed in on the
same day. Counsel for Mr.. Beecher will conse-
quenly have three days in which to examine il be-
fore the scandal suit is called. The bill will allege
that the oifenses charged against Mr. Beecher were
all committed in Brooklyn and at the
residences Of plaintiff and defendant As
to the question what days were these

The Temperanoe Movemsnt.

Daring the present week has put on a
somewhat new feature. The Sabbath even
ing meetings were dispensed with, and the
Ladies Temperance League of Canton be-
gan operations on Monday by sending out
fourteen committees of v-isitation-each
committee of two or three well-known
and prominent ladies. The committees
passed around quietly and without osten-
tation, and hence without excitement
The League met in the First M. E. church
Oh Tuesday evening to hear the reports of
the committees.
The object of the visitations was to sub
NIT to the saloon proprietors a printed re-
quest to abandon the business, , "belieY-
ing it to be detrimental to the best interests
of our city, ETC." The request concludes
with a pledge to all who quit the traffic to
aid them to get into other business.
Each committee had a printed copy of
the petition signed with the names of 500
gentlemen also printed. The same petl-
ton had been signed by LOO ladies. but
these are not in print. A cooperative
pledge is also signed by some 600 gentle
men.
At the meeting on Tuesday evening the
ladies reported they were generally kindly
received by the saloon proprietors, and
they expressed hopefulness IN regard to
the future. In detailing their experience
at the meeting, the ladies gave no m
1t seems that one place only was there a
scene, and Of course under excitement.
The wife was behind the counter when the
committee of two ladies entered, and a
dozen or more men. who were outside and
in, called up to drink, and the noise and
yelling was somewhat for a time. The
ladies endeavored TO chat with the pro-
prietor but the noise prevented. They
submitted their printed petition, spoke a
few kind, gentle words and left. The very
next place they entered it was just the re-
verse. The proprietor was as polite and
affable as though raised in the best society
of old Paria in Ia belle FTGnee. One gen.
tleman who was a little rude at first, not
usual for him at all, asked their pardon
before they left. We are glad to see so
much moderation all round, and so much
re gard to propriety, even kindness gem
erally.

Bucyrus WIS the scene of one of the
most exciting and riotous scenes on Tues
day last, we have ever witnessed. The
ladies were out in full force, there being
at least five gangs of them, numbering, we
should Judge, from 20 to so in each gang,
followed by q large and boisterous crowd
of all classes of mankind, rich and poor,
high and low, old and young, male and fe-
male, drunk and sober, temperance and
anti-tcmperance. A German band was
in attendance, playing whenever the Ia
dies sang and prayed, the assembled crowd
were perfectly wild and frenzied, yelling,
hallooing, swearing and making all the
different noises human ingenuity could
make with their vocabulary organs, some
would get in the very faces of the ladies,
while on their knees praying, pull out bot
ties of whisky, drink. and pass 1t to their
friends. The ladies were the targets for
the lowest insults.
After dinner a wagon drawn by four
horses appeared on the streets, conveying
the band and ali the anti prohibition men
who could get a foot hold thereon with the
stars and stripes unfurled over them fol-
lowed by a large crowd, all ha!lUoing.

The streets were filled with people, ev-

every one was expecting to see a riot of the
worst type break out, and in which it will
doubtless end If something is not done pref

persistent, so are the ~salConists. There
were several squabbles during the day but
the parties were separated before any
great riot was raised.-CreSHiae Demo

Mr.. Il. McGregor, Editor, Canton,
Ohio :-Sir:-Please discontinue my pa
per. 1 have learned to know men that
got rich by minding their own business.
Yours, JOHN MACHAMER.
Certainly, brother Machamer, your time
was Just out any how. Well, we 'have
learned to know" one man who has not
''got rich by mindiEg his W business"
Our friend is not explicit, and ou dullness
of comprehension prefers Democratic plain
ness of speech. Mr.. Machamer ought to
know that, like Jefferson, We have sworn
eternal hostility against all tyranny over
the mind ofman; and Democracy insists
that all persons, no matter what their bu-
siness, shall comply with, and obey the
laws.
We fear o ur old friend Machamer expec-
ted the Stark Co. DEMocRAT to sanction
and approve of violations of law, of laws
too, looking to the good order OF society
to the prevention of bad habits that lead
to self destruction, to cruel affections upon
innocents and to the commission of crime.
We believe in mentioning and enforcing
these laws by a wholesome public opin-
ion and otherwise. "Do not evil that
good may come; for we gather not figs
from thistles, even to-day" In our feeble
way we shall continue our endeavors to
promote justice and prevent wrong to
uphold law and better maintain the good
order of society. Lead not into tempta-
tion, for prevention is easier than cure. is
the true rule for authorities and indlVidu-
ais. A great modern reformer says he
has taken the offspring of most abandon
ed parents, parents who d~isregarded
the laws of God and man, and by surround
ing the offspring with proper influences
he has seen them grow up to become the
ornaments Of society in every virtue
Mankind need more "faith, hope and char
ity," especially the greatest of these, char
ity. The poet Pope says:
''Vice Is a monster of such frightful mien.
As to be hated, needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then, embraces!

CAUeHT.-The Dayton Club House, a place
Of aristocratic resort, was visited by the Ia
dies on Saturday evening at 81 p. n. 1t
seemst the ladies went through an alley and
came into the yard through a hole made in
the fence by pulling off a loose board.
They found the back door open and en-
tered, and there saw ten or twelve repre-
sentative men of the city converting over
their champagne. Some of them were
alarmed, and gathering their hats in a hur-
RED manner, ran out by the back door and
through the hole in the fence. All who
tried succeeded in getting through with
the exception of a Well-known * Judge,
who is rather obese. lie was almost out
Of breath when he reached the fence, and
got half way through the opening, when
he stuck fast, where he had to remain until
the women finished their services. One of
the gentlemen who renamed, a prominent
retail merchant, asked the ladies how they
got in, and when they told him through the
back door, be desired them to go out the
same way they came in. This they de-
clined to do, and they prayed and sang for
a long time. The news spread over the
city, and was received everywhere with
surprise, because nobody thought the wo-
men would have the moral courage to
make a raid on this high toned resort.
