Owing 10 its great length only a brief synop-

Moulton begins his statement by an apology
for its production, in which he says he
had hoped Mr.. Beecher himself would,
ere this, have made denial OF any intima-
ton. insinuation or averment in his state
ment that he (Moulton) had acted In any
way dishonorably toward him. Failing in
this hope, it seemed 10 Moulton and his
friends that the question of yeracity made by
Mr.. Beecher ought TO be settled. Among
the new documentary evidence published is a
letter from Mrs. Morse. Mrs. Tilton's moth

BE-ARauMENT IN THE CASE OF DENNIS, Assignee
OF cnIsF1ELD, VI. BRISGHURsT.
In the United States Circuit Court, yesterday,
the case OF James U. Dennis, assignee Of John
W. Crisfeld, rs. Joseph Bringhurst, WAS taken
mp for re-argument before Judge Bradford
1t will be remembered that this case arose out
OF pledge OF $40 900 worth of the bonds of the
Eastern Shore H. r. Co. by Crisled as collater-
al security for the payment of Crisheld's note to
Bringhurst for ~, $50. At the maturity of the
note 1t was hot paid. Bringhurst then paid
Crlsfed S40O more, for which Crisfeld sold him
the bonds with the privilege OF re-purchase Oc-
tober lst, 1871. Before that time Crisfeld took
the benefit OF the bankrupt act, and Mr.. Dennis
WAS appointed his assignee. Dennis failed to
redeem the bonds on that date and Bringhurst
afterwards made sale of them at an advance
rate. This suit is brought to recover the differ
ence which Bringhurst obtained by his resale.
AT the previous hearing the Court held shat
bringhurst's purchase OF the bonds was a sale
by Crisfield and not pledge, and as such that
Bnnghurst was entitled to any advance which he
may have obtained from the sale
Of them. but that as pedgee OF the
bonds he WAS trustee for Bring
hurst, and that while thus trustee a purchase
by him OF Crisiields right i'll them would, in
equity, not be permitted, aud that in making
such purchase Bringhurst thereby made it the
means OF obtaining usurIous interest. This last
point OF the inability OF trustee co purchase
the trust fund from his beneficiary had not been
stated in the complainant's bill and therefore at
the request of Bringhursts counsel, the Court
granted a re-argument on that point The case
came up yesterday and was opened by Anthony
Higgins, Esq, for the complainant, who con-
cuded late in the afternoon, and VIM. q. Spru-
ance, Esq, began his argument for the defence.

HIS TESTIMONY AND HIS sUIr-IF HE oonFEesEs 10
THE USE OF THE MONEY HIS CASE RUIsED-R
NOT HIS WORD IN JEOPARDY
WASHINGTON, De-. 22-There was a rumor
afloat at one time this afternoon that Irwin had
run away, but it was wholly unfounded, and he
is said to have retired early tonight to
get as much rest as possible for the ordeal OF
tomorrow, when lie will be brought before the
bar of the House. 1t Is not at all likely that he
will disclose the names of the parties he traded
with. 1t has been ditficult for the committee to
understand why he should tell what he has told
and then refnse to tell any more. One motive
for the testimony already given is clear enough;
The suit pending against him to recover
the $75O,000 is to be effected by
this investigation. II he swears here
that lie expended the money he has made good
point for his defense. II he should swear he
had devoted any part of the money to his per-
sonal use he would ruin his defense in court.
If he gives now list Of names of persons to
whom he paid money, and they, on being
summoned, come up aud swear he paid them
nothing, he will be placed in bad posi-
ton, whether his word or theirs is true. He is
in bad predicament any way and the effect
Of his testimony on all his personal in.erests
has been carefully considered between him and
bis counsel, and they have concluded that he
can say nothing more which can improve his
own situation. His friends say that, in his
present condition of health, he will be placed
in great peril of his life by action which will
place him in prison. Meantime the investiga-
tion will go forward as welJ--as possible without
his further testimony.
