Observation-Disclosures, I;,irat;op

the bill of particulars that will help
the defense, hut to prove the negative,
which is necessary TO his perfect tri-
umph, by also compelling them to try
first the case of Moulton, ,on Miss Proc
tors suit for libel, in which case both
Beecher and Mrs. Tilton can testify,
while she cannot in the suit against
Beecher. Nobody doubts but that
Moulton will be badly beaten on the
libel suit, which would discredit him
as witness against Beecher, hence
the TiltOn party are energetic in
their efforts to postpone that case.
The dignity and strength of Beecher' S
counsel in yesterdays discussion go
far to antidote Tilton's charge of de-
sire to evade trial, and are satisfying
the public that as prudent advisers,
his counsel have not the right to
omit any safeguards in dealing with
unscrupulous men.

ETY.. rt
MEMPHIS, December 9th.-The Pres
idents of the various colered societies
of this city have organized society
called knights of the Brotherhood and
Monumental Association, the object
of which, as set forth in lengthy ad-
dress to the colored people published
this morning, is to discard all old po-
litical ties and cultivate and maintain
peace with the white people of the
South. in the preamble and resolu-
tions they say:
We are fully aroused to the con-
sciousness that we have been for years
the dupes of crafty, designing and un-
principled men, whose only object was
their own personal aggrandizement,
irrespective of the means or results to
our injury. They have shorn us of our
pecuniary accumulations-the result
of many years toll, even to penury-
accumulated by our youth and little
feglings. All this we could bear, but
they have left us despised by our own
only true friends, through their knav-
ish representations and unmitigated
falsehoods. Our experience in this
direction, for which we have amply
paid, invites change on our part,
therefore invoking the sheltering egis
of almighty God, in whose goodness,
mercy and wisdom we trust for our
future guidance. We resolve that,
embracing the honest, truthful advice
of our lat friend Thomas Swan, we now
and forever shake off those unwarrant-
ed fears that have been created and
preyed as n bugaboo upon the minds
of onr simple people.
