ton. and a year ago gave advice which
DELAYED the exposure. He has implicit
faith in the truth of his clients cause,
and while refusing to give any opinion
a 70 the situation, be said he had known
for a wear past facts which might now
come out. He hsd labored hard to sup
1,rsss the matter for the sake of public
decency, but he felt now that the facts,
horrible as they were, would have to be
established. Mir. Morris and District At
torney Wiuslow hsd two long copverss-
tons yesterday as to the course 70 be

,e01rt was no place to try case of such
n1s--,,'tt, de and engrOssing interest as
+bjyona. Mr.. WinslOw shared the same
oninion. though admitting that Gsynor
nod a rac 1nicsl right to institute pro-
csadings hut seemed to conclude that

in court.
REFcFFR AS A PLAYFUL CUSS.

time at Mr.. Shel-man's house: Mhile
he was there, his ASSISTANT MI hoiIl-
dsv. dove uo wit 4 lady, and Mr..

stvIe TO the carriage, p'ayfully reproach-
mo Mr.. Holiday for devoting his time
to such foliies as driving around town
and neglecting the care ofthe plymouth
congregation imposed on him during
the pastors vacation.

Re echer WIS not preparing detailed
stsN emeut in reply to Mr.. l1lton 8

9uced an item Of proof III support CT any
,seeusst ion he has made.
REEca ER RELYING UPON MoULToN.
The co,.qmittea notified Mr.. Beecher
5uriDg the day that they would require

Owen his. NJ. Beecher felt confident
That if Moulton appears and tells the
Truth the whole charge mace against
Iir, NV Vilton will be found absolutely
a
Raacber would give his testimony jast
the same. Mr.. B.4echer has been ad-
I-issd 10 hiring the matter befOIe court
of iustice. but the case would be thrown
ouf of court IN a moment, and the conn.,
rnittee vas appointed 10 secure an IN
ouiry. A court would not secure that
cJmuIete vindication he desires. Mr..

cation conducted privately, so that the
charges could have no evil influences on
the public.
