was short, but full of words that
breathed Of patriotism and love for

NEW YORK.

NEW YoRK, May l9.--The Tri bune sas
everybody knew wha, to expect when al
most the first words uttered by Judge Por.
ter were these: "Men are apt to be bold of
speech when two stalwart champions like
Moulton and Tilton makes joint assault
upon clergyman and women--the man
forbidden by his profession to return evil for
evil the other weak and powerless, held as
in the hollow of a hand by man, who has
but to look upon her to subdue her to his
will.' The last clause, referring to Mrs.
Tilton, was delivered in deep, deliberate
voice, with scathing force, and, as the words
were uttered, the speaker turned toward
Mr.. Titon, who sat behind him, and shook
his cleuched hand in his face, with look
of scorn.
Tilton's face turned very red, but he
looked the lawyer straight in the eyes
while his lips became pressed tight together
as if with suppressed passion.
Judge Porter continued, at intervals to
turn and denouuce Tilton to his face, and
more than once the latter, who was busy
making notes, dropped his pen nervously,
half tnrued in his chair and faced the
speaker with an angry expression.
Judge Porter, after contrasting the lives
and characters of plaintiff and defendant,
hastily sketched the more salient events in
the life of Mr.. Beecher, and pronounced
Mr.. Tilton to be an adulterer and per-
jurer.
Describing the discussion of the patern-
ity of the boy Ralph, Mr.. Porter exclaimed
with electric force and facing Mr.. Tilton:
II there lisa beastlupon the eaethlcapable of
holding such conversation over his own
wife, he has lived too long upon the earth.
It is time for him to die. What are such
men for unless they have mission in hum
ting down clergymen, crucifying women and
committing perjury in courts of Justice.
Nothing that was said during the day
caused deeper feeling than this sentence,
delivered with all the withering force that
the orator could condense into his words.
Tilton faced it all with an iron will, but
his cheeks glowed and the lines about his
mouth were hard.
Denuciations of Moulton and several
other persons were not less severe than those
launched against Tilton, but as the persons
who were denounced were not present the
effect was much less marked.
The chief aim of Judge Porter's argument
was to prove from the character of Beecher
and Mrs. Tilton, and from the tone and
nature of Mrs. Tilton's letters to her hus-
band, the great improbibility that any
adulterous intercourse had taken place be-
tween Mrs. Tilton and Mr. Beecher.
Judge Porter says she will probably speak
until Friday night, if his strength holds
out. q Evarts has desired him to occupy the
remainder of this week with his argument,

Mr.. Emory Bowen, OF San Francisco
California, was robbed of $40 on the
night train going West ON the G. D. &
@. Railroad last night by a monte man,
supposed TO be one, Frank Tracy, who
10 generally known as '.Kentuck."
When the train was between Fair.
fald and Whitfield, Bowen was ap-
preached by . man and asked to
change . SO bill. He pulled out his
pocket-book, which contained $4OO In
bills, when the monte man grabbed II,
rushed to the door and jumped from
the train when near Whitfield Sta
tion.
Bowen came to Ottumwa and re-
ported his loss to Marshal vAnnamau
who advised hila 10 stop here and re-
turn and capture the thief, but he went
ON o. far % Tyrone, and the farther he
went the madder he got, and he con.
cluded to return to Ottumwa on No.
2 and have the officers hunt mp the
bold william who robbed him.
Howe's CIRCUS is at Fairfield to-day
and the monte men will of course be
there In force and 1t 10 hoped this out
ragoous william will make his appear
ance there and thus be nabbed.
We learn since from Sam Jones the

that the thief came into the city on an
extra freight train that followed the
passenger train, and aftcrward return
last night TO Fairfield on passenger

Robert T. Lincoln ON Wednesday,
10th inst., inaugurated proceedings
upon his own petition, whereby his
mother, tho widow Of the martyred
President, 10 placed in an Institution
for the insane at Batavia, Illinois,
The testimony upon tho examination
shows that there had been evidences
Of ccentricity in Mrs. Lincoln ever
since the assassination Of her husband,
and that this increased upon her un-
til actual insanity was tho result, and
that twas not best to longer delay an
attempt to cure her by placing her un-
der skillful treatment at an institution
where the appliances and surroundings
arc suitable for such cases. The mat
ter It seoms has been deferred ON ac-
count Of the great distaste OF her son
to take the step he has now been COM
PEELED to do upon the advice OF his
and his mothers friends. This Is an.
other OF tho sad results Of that sad
dest Of events which vacated the Pres.
idential chair by the act Of a pro-sla.
very rebel assassin. Tho Same parties
whose deeds led to thus vacsting that
chair now hope to hll II by their party
organization In 1876.

Horrible Crlme-Swift Retrlbutl0n.
From an Extra Issued by the Attain
tic Messenger, we get the following
details Of most revolving crime com.
mitted in the Southern part of Cass
county:
On Monday last Daniel O'Conror
an IrishmaD, took his daughter to
granary where he attempted to violate
her person, and was only prevented
by physical impossibility, and the
screams of the child, which he feared
would be heard by the family who
wero only few rods distant. With
q knife in hand, he forced the girl
with threats OF instant death ii she di-
vulged the crime, and extorted from her
. promise Of secrecy, She made the
promise and was released. In about
an hour she went unobserved to the
house of her uncle about q mile dis
tant and related the details Of the out
rage upon her. Mr.. Casey at once
procured warrant for tho arrest OF
O'Conner, and officers proceeded to
his farm about 10 miles south of Lewis
arriving there about daylight Tuesday
morning. They demanded admittance
to his house, and at frat were refused
but soon the doors were opened, when
they were confronted by three hired
men. They asked for O'Connor and
were told he was in bedroom on tho
west side OF the house. Immediately
the report Of q revolver was heard in
the bedroom, and tho door was bro
ken open, when the body of O'Connor
was found lying ON the floor, with a
wound in the right breast. He expired
In . few moments, but uttered not a
