NEW YORK, October 3.---Beecher
appeared before the grand jury this
morning in regard to the indictment
of Tilton. The indictment was pre-
pared and read to Beecher and he said
it was correct document. 1t set forth
that Tilton wickedly and maliciously
with intent to injure and scandalize
Rev. III. w. Beecher in his good name
and character, subjecting him to con
tempt and disgrace, published on or
about September Is, or caused to be
published in the daily Graphic, false,
scandalous and malicious libel con-
corning him. A portion of the libel
Gus article referred to was the alleged
commission of adultery in 1868, with
Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton and the asser-
ton as to the doubtful paternity of
the child born the following year.
The grand jury also read TO Beecher
the indictment against Frank Moulton
which is worded similarly to that
against Tlton. The counsel for the
Brooklyn Eagle this morning appeared
before Judge Wilson in the city court
at special term and moved that both
cases for libel brought against his client
by Henry c. Bowen be consolidated.
Decision was reserved.
New ORLEANS, October BIN reply
to the criticism that the only reduction
of the state expenses under the present
government has been at the expense of
the bondholders, Governor Kellogg
has addressed the following supple
mental statement to the Picayune:
The expenses of the state govern
ment last year were $4ll 900 less than
the expenses of 1872, aud $685. 900 less
than the expenses of 1871. This year
the expenses will showing stillgreat-
er reduction. 1t is true the tax of four
mills for general purposes remains I'M
changed, but this tax has heretofore
never been sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the state government. In
1869, the amount of warrants issued in
excess of the receipts from the four
mill general fund tax, was $75O,602 /;
in 1870 it was SSSS,3l4; in 1871 it was
81, 497 ,1G2, and in 1872, 81, JIG 04O.
1t is by this excess of warrants over
receipts that a large portion of the
floating debt of the state has been
piled up. We are endeavOring to con-
fine the expenses within the receipts
of the four mills tax, and have so far
succeeded that there remains only n
balance of $lS0,0O0 excess of expendi-
lures over receipts last year, and this
year it is believed the receipts will
nearly or quite cover the expenses.
The constitutional amendments to be
voted on in November renders il inn
possible for any state government here
after to issue warrants I'm excess of its
receipts, and thus cuts Off one great
source of the present financial difficult
ties of the state.
LONDON, October ). The daily Tele-
graph learns from Catholic sources that
