ONLY ONE HoMIcIDE YEsTERDAY.-At
halt past twelve O'Clock last evening John
keegan and William Burke met on ROus-
seau, between Second and Third streets,
and there settled personal dispute. Both
men have been employed in a coal yard, one
as q clerk and the other as q driver, and
the quarrel grew out of some irregularity
on the pant Of the driver, which fact had
been reported to the proprietor. Burke,
Who is only eighteen years old, fearing
Keegan, lost no time in drawing his re-
volver when they met, shooting three times.
His shots were fatal, killing Keegan on the
instant. DIR. Ames held an autopsy, and
the inquest will be held to-day, when the
real facts will be properly elected, as
several persons witnessed the proceedings.
BUSINESS GENERALLY SUsPENDED.-On
account Of the election yesterday business
was generally suspended. Indeed, trade
and traffic, commercially speaking. were
not as closely attended to as on Sunday.

At most of the polls OF the river eide of

Those backs probably looked like Demo

look at the face an illusion will be dispelled.
Republican tickets were cOunterfeited
early in they day. but they were quickly

ideas Of the non-sanctity Of the marriage
relation took possession of him; the air be-
came filed with unpleasant rumors con-
corning him, which naturally found their
way to Beecher, and the readers of the
Independent began to be FESTIVE and indig-
nant under bis teachings. Bowen, the sa-
gscious proprietor, trembled for the safety
of his property. The ground had been
sliding from under Tilton's feet for months
and months when, like the bold and IN
principled man the whole case shows him
to be- he formed the design to make of the
confession obtained from his wife six months
before a sheet anchor to save himself in the
storm he saw gathering. Hence the letter
TO Beecher through Bowen, calling upon
him to withdraw from Plymouth pulpit
and quit Brooklyn, to which Beecher made
the contemptuous answer, that ''the man is
crazy" Tilton soon afterwards was ex-
PEELED from the journal he was destroying.
Now, if Tilton had been the man of honor,
the injured husband that he pretends to be;
if his home had been wrecked, if his family
had been ruined. if his happiness had been
destroyed, why did he conceal and cover up
for six long months the awful secret, and
never breathe it until he found the IHdepsn-
dent passing from his contrOli Upon what
theory can his action be explained
Here Moulton comes upon the scene, to
ply the shuttle and weave around Mr..
Beecher the web of suspicion, talsehood,
craft and cunning which Is almost without
flaw or blemish, In which Tilton is made
to appear as martyr, bleeding at every
pore, only little lower than 1,Nangels,
and Beecher as q man Of sin to u L-hreVer
cursed and reprobated. The work has
been overdOne, and the better part of man.
kind, until Beecher's word is disproven,
will take his simple word against them all.
But 1t is naturally asked why did Beecher
permit it to go on-why did he allow him
self to be placed in so perilous posltionf
No man can answer for another, and what
in such circumstances one would approve
another would condemn. In the opinion
of the great majority to-day, in the light in
which we now see the whole sad story,
Beecher did not take the path of wisdom
and prudence. He ought to have spoken
long ago. and forever silenced the gang of
blackmailers who were preying upon him.
AS for Mrs. Tilton, her evidence, one way
or the other, Is worthless. A woman who,
under threat could sign away her own
virtue to-day; recall it tomorrow; again
reaffirm it and again recant, Is not capa-
bic or competent witness. 1t is beyond all
question that she has been used by her I'm
immoral husband from first to
last to subserve and advance his own selfish,
wicked purposes-for the evidence stands
that Tilton has made traffic in his wife's
alleged dlshonor, and has flooded the land
with scandal when his infamy was seen In
its true light by tho party directly con-
cerned and his malice set at defiance. Mr..
Beecher was not as prudent as he ought to
have been in his intercourse with this IN
happy family, but that he is the guilty man
his enemies would have the world believe
has not, in our judgment been proven.
