BEECHEn AFTER TILTON.

New YORK, Oct. 3.-Beecier appeared before
the Grand Jury this morning in regard to the in.
dictment Of Theodore Tilton. The indictmen mt
was prepared and read to Beccher, and he said il
was correct. The document set forth that Theo-
dOrc Tilton wickedly and maliciouslv, with intent
to I'M ure and scandalize Rev. II. ". Beocher in
his good name and character, subjecting him to
contempt and disgrace, did publish On or about
Sept. Is, or cause to be published in the Daily
Graphic false, scandalous and malicious libel
concerning him.
A portion Of the libelous article referred TO was
the alleged commission of adultery in 1868 with
Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton, and an asst rtion to the
doubtful paternity Of child born the following
year. The Grand Jury also read to MIR. Beecher
second Indictment against Frank d. MOult0n,
which lie worded similar to that found against
Mr.. Tilton.
The counsel for the Brooklyn Eogle this morn
ing appeared before Judge Nelson in the City
Court special term, and moved that both cases
for libel brought AGAINST hi client by Henry @.
Bowen, be consolidated Decision reserved.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.--Moulton and Tilton have
both been indicted for atrociOus libel. They have
been formally arrested and will give bail Mon
day.
The contest Of the Rigby rifle over the Sharp
resulted in favor OF the Rigby by lib points. The
Irish used the Rigby and the Americans used the
Sharp.
New YORK, Oct. 3-There was great excite
ment in Brooklyn when it became known that
Mr.. Beecher had appeared before the Grand
Moulton, and that indictments were found against
them for malicious libel and SANDER
1t is uderstood that when Bcecher gave his
testimony before the Grand Jury he was in the
highest degree emphatic, and declared that 81 the
allegations of Tilton and MOulton with reference
to himself, Mrs. Tilton and another lady, were
atrocious falsehoods." Nothing else worth

ly showing the untruth of these charges
and that these charges were made for the
purpose OF influencing the elections in
the North and the West, and to

tricts of the Tomblgbee, Warrior and Alabama

THE REFINEMENT OF CRUELTY.

That was a cruel jest Of Darrall's. In his
letter to Kellogg, under date of Jan. II. 1874,
he wrote "Bring any and all influence to
bear on the President you can think of a.
once. Can't you get up a solemn protest from,
merchants and others, and get the Herwigs to
urge on Casey change Of tack?"
The italics are ours but even unitalicize5
how the words must have wrung the heart of
kellogg, inducing, as they must have done,
the reflection that a solemn protest of mer-
chants" in his behalf was about as attainable
as solemn protest of archangels in be-
half Of fallen Lucifer That was a cruel
conundrum of Darrall's, and he ought to be
heartily ashamed of himself for torturing the
poor devil of a usurper in so heartless man
uer.
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-10-04

The CONFERENCE.-THE the course of an
argument upon the agreement entered into
by our conference committees, the Chicago
Times says:
Finally, two vacancies are to be made by
resignation in the returning board, and filed
with Democrats. This arrangement leaves
Kellogg a majority of one, and, consequently,
absolute control in the board. 1t is the weak
and unsatisfactory point in the treaty, and as
the returning board has practically unlimited
discretionary power over all the returns, it
t"xes our faith in the possible honesty of Lou
isiana Radicals to the utmost to believe that
the power thus reserved will not be abused.
The fifth member Of the returning board
should have been selected, like the umpire Of
the advisory committee, by agreement Of both
parties.
