MP TTLTOk'S NEW MOVE.

Mr.. Theodore Tillon has announced that
rather than go into court under the restric-
tions of bill of particulars he will abandon
his suit against Henry Ward Beecher, and
trust to tho verdict of a jury in the SANDER
case, or to the judgment of public opinion.
To nut the statement in his own fine Ian
guage, he "wil go into court ON the first day
"when he is permitted to carry all his evil
"dcnce with him, but never while he must
"leavc nine-tenths Of this evidence outside the
"door." This is not such a declaration as the
public promise of his counsel, to furnish
bill of particulars in thirty minutes if the
court ordered it, might have led the world to
expect; but it is the innate right of every
American citizen to change his mind upon due
provocation. A bill of particulars, in some
shape, is no more than the defendant has
right to demand, and we cannot blame Mr..
Beccher for insisting that his adversary shall
specify in the complaint just what he intends
to prove on the trial. But on the other hand
it should be remembered that this is not
merely an action for damages but an inquest
of character, and that tho defendant, if he is
innocent, ought for his own sake to invite the
most searching investigation into his life.
Mr. Beecher is doubtless sensible of

THE POTTER Law.

Mr.. Brooks Adams discusses in our columns
this morning an aspect of the Wisconsin
railway controversy which seems not to have
presented itself either to the legislators who
framed the Potter law or to the Western jour-
nalists and politicians who have so zealously
supported it. The fact that the statute is held
to be entirely constitutional only proves that
it is unfortunately competent for tho Wiscon-
pin Legislature to do a very inlqutOus thing.
Just how far the Potter law will injure the
business and cOnfscatc the earnings OF the
railways of tho State it is too soon yet to tell
but it is clear that upon the principle en-
bodied in that act and ratified by the decision
of the Supreme Court of the State, there can
be no check to the process OF appropriation
except in tho moderation or caprice OF the
l,ngislaturc. Whenever hard times, slow sales,
Oyerabundant crops embarrass the farmers,
and an excited and not always reasonable
agricultural class gets the predominance in
politics, q further reduction may be made,
until the companies are driven into bankruptcy.
The first result which we anticipate how
ever from the Wisconsin experiment is gen.
eral corruption Of politics. Mr.. Adams re-
marks that the remedy for the Potter wrong
is to be sought at tho polls. 1t will be sought
there the railroads in self-defense will be
compelled to put their money into politics,
and either run the elections in their own
financial interests, as Fisk and Gould used to
do at one period of their management Of Erie,
or buy legislators ready mado after the
method of Stockwell and Oakes Ames. Wis
consin will be charming State when corpo-
rations are obliged to resort to corruption in
order to save themselves from plunder.

Did the young ladies who drop into poetry at the

that venerable Gruff-and-Glum. DR.. johnson, that
women could not make good book Of cookery. She
had written poems by the peck, and found that this
species of lunacy did not succeed in the matter OF
money. So one day Mademoselle went to see the
famous publisher, Mr.. Longman. and remarked that
she desired to writc book that was really wanted.
"The world does net want poems," said this wise
woman. Mr. Longman moro than limited at cook

The Tammany primary meetings announced
for tomorrow evening do not promise many
exciting contests, but the application of colored
voters in the With District for representation

may, if persisted in, put recent professions of

The ccnsures Of Mayor Vance for his action in the
appointmont of members for the Board of Charities
and Correction seem to US largely gratuitous and
unmertod None but hide-bOund partisans and
office hunting party hacks will complain of him for
consulting with the man who is to take his place in
ten days as to the appointment of city officers to
hold for terms Of several years 1t is precisely what
business men in charge of any great enterprise
would do who appreciated the importance of unity
Of policy and management The really grave mis-
take Of the Mayor was in the appointment of per-
son ike Isaac II. Bailey who has no claim for tho
place save the fact that he seems to need an office
in order to make living. and is a thick and thin
partisan. Any severe Judgment even on this mis-
take is mitgatcd when it il known that an every
way reputable gentleman. and an original Repub-
can. was first asked if he would take the place and
was forced to decline But if the new administration
leave Bnilcy in power it will make worse mistake
than Mayor Vance did

The only thing settled beyond doubt as to
the election which took place in Louisiana
nearly two months ago, is the fact that the con-
stitutional amendments recommended by Gov.
Kellogg and approved by the Legislature have
been adopted by popular vote. These amend
ments seem judicious, as four OF them impose
wholesome restrictions upon the extravaganza
of State officials, and the fifth changes the day
of the State elections to that fixed by law for
Federal elections.

ucarly all western towns is, that they
attain certain mushroom growth While

manufacturing. Experience and OBJ
servatiop ought to tcaph Western towns
that there is q !;1,'t to speculation, and
that they capnot always suLsist on spec
