day there was remarkable change in the
temperature of speculation, and the re-
cent depression gave way to extreme
buoyancy and great excitement The

After further talk the Indians agreed
to accept $4,000 in consideration of re-
linquishing large portion Of their hunt
ing grounds in Nebraska. The Secretary
is willing to concede them considerable
territory ten or fifteen miles south of the
Nebraska river.

His Ground of Complaint Against
Beecher

was that Bcccher, Mrs. Bcecher and Mrs.
Morse had been telling stories against
him to Bowen. The testimony proved
completely that these were the causes of
Tiltons hatred toward Bccchor. When
Tilton was recalled he did not utter one
word of denial of this entirely new mat
ter introduced by StorrS. Tilton set up
the theory that until his removal they
had not been reported to Bowen and that
Bcechcr had not been instrumental in his
removal by Bowen. 1t was pretended
by the plaintiff that he was Il wealthy
and prosperous man until the act of
Bowen IN dIscharGing him, and that this
did not as he had formerly represented
strip hlm. He pretended it was not
until the chimes of STAINS were ringing
that he was first aware that any moth
had corrupted the garment of his pride.
TIlton's Wealth.
Mr.. Evarts then discussed the list Of
property testified to by Tilton, arguing
that it was substantially worthless, as
being unsalcable and unproductlve since
the beginning of 1871; plaintiff had with
the exception of what he had picked up
in his lecture tours, received no income
except the $4,000 then IN the hands Of
Woodruff X Robinson; the seven thous-
and dollars received from Bowen, the
money paid by Beecher for Bessie Turn

was very peculiar on these points. He
did not remember whether the woman
was sick or whether she was in bed. 1t
was n GOOD thing to command ones fac
ulties, and is memory was faculty he
(Evarts) supposed it might be Il good
thing to command that. He quoted the
conversation in "School for Scandal IN
regard to the lady whose color came and
went ut morning and night, and said
that when Moulton was on the stand
one could almost see his memory come
and go, like the Iadys
maid. ever fetch and carry.
All the testimony proved that ut
this time Tilton was Il ruined man; that
he knew himself to be ruined man,
and that all his movements in regard to
Brcchcr and in regard to his wife were
inspired by this knowledge. Bowen was
called for the plaintiff to prove that
Bccchcr took no part in Tiiton's dis
charge. but the stone worked the other
way, and it was proved that Tilton knew
he was ruined on the 27th ol December,

er's schooling, the five thousand dollars
for which Beecher mortgaged his house
and the contributions Of subscribers to
the Golden Age. At the close of 1870
Tilton's business affairs were in state OF
complete prostration, and it was then
that he Joined with Bowen in an effort
TO destroy Beecher; get rid Of the editor
of rival paper and leave them
masters of the situation. Bowen took the
missive of Titon to Beecher, and the re-
suit of this effort was as Tilton had teStl-
fed. That the next time he saw Bowen
the latter was in terrific rage; that
Bowen said il Tilton ever dared to say
he was consplrator with him, or that
he had anything to do with that letter,
he would cashier him. 1t is evident that
on this 9th Of December, 1870, Tilton
did not stand on velvet with Bowen, and
that the engineer had been holsted with
his own petard. On that day TiIton
stood ruined man, and he knew himself
to be so. 1t was shown that at every
step in his testimony Tilton resOrted TO
weak and foolish inventions, which would
not stand in the light Of the evidence
furnished by mis- witnesses. ltwas when
he found that his attempt to intmldate
Becchcr completed his ruin that Tllton
determined to secure the assistance OF
Becchcr by getting around that great,
generous heart of his, which II was as
Titon testified, that made Mr. Beechcr
great. Tilton had said that the way to
get Mt that heart, was to persuade Beecher
that he had done "A man I'M injury, now
ever slight and if other men knew this
rs well as he did, they would impose on
him a great deal more. Evarts then
spoke of the remorse naturally felt, of
the delicate and noble feelings in bcliev
ing that he had improperly intertered IN
Il household winch stood to him III rea-
tions of friendship. He could not, he
said, sufficiently express his scorn for dis
positions which would judge every man
by motives which would influence the
coursest and bascst of natures. Men
who so argued, would not only recognize
those sentiments which tcndcned to raise
a mortal to the skies, but they endeavorcd
to establish those which would drag an
angel down.
Evarts quoted in this connection the
lines Of Cowper:
"Oh, why were farmers made so coarse, or
parsons made 50 fine?
A kick that scarce would move horse
may Kill a sound divine.
The counsel then spoke OF the test-
mony of the nurse, Mrs. Mitchell, in re-
gard to the despairng state of mind

let this rest but to check thi, career Of
prohigacv at once. Tilton asked why
Bowen did not use the terrible facts in
his possession and Bowen said that his
honor forbade him. because Of the settle
ment of the difficulty between him and
Bcecher. Why did not Bowen think
of this before he gave Tilton all these
stories. The letter to Beecher was then
prepared, containing a demand for
Beecher's instant retirement from Brook
lvn for reasons explicitly known to him
self. This appeal to Beechers inner
consciousness was introduced at the in
stance of Bowen. When it was written,
the latter knew that if he had not got

Mr.. Evarts resumed. He said that
another element showing the position of
Becchcr and Tilton on the Both Of Deccm-
Der, 1870, grew out of the reality of the
stories repeated to Bowen which inilurnc.
ed him in these stories related to in the
affair at Winstcd and to an occurrence in
the Brooklyn Union Office, rs shown by
Tilton's own testimony. 1t was true
that Tilton cndcnvorcd to casil Y brush
these matters away, but If these asser-
tons proved to be facts, and ugly facts,
they returned to convict TiIton Of false
hood. In addition TO the discredlt
which their truth would otherwise
occasion, the truth Of these stories
was also important in determining the
question whether Bowen owed Tilton any
money for abrogating his contracts with
out notice. The contracts provided fora
penalty in such case only IN the event OF
action taking place without cause. Now
if Tilton's conduct had been such aS to
unfit him to continue rs editor OF areIlg-
ious journal, Bowen was relieved from
any debt to TiltOn for terminating the
contracts. Tilton was accused OF scand-
alous and immoral conduct at Nlnsted,
Conn. This report was SO strong
when the alleged occurrancc was
fresh rs to the cause. letter was to he
written about it and induce him to write
Il letter in reply. He declared that the
alleged woman, in question, was merely
a little girl, and treated the whole matter
lightly as Il scandal growing out OF
scarcely nothing. 1t was not desirable
by Tilton and MCuIton, that they should
be represented n blhckma!lcrS, and rs
compelling Bowen to pay money which
he did not legally owe, 10y threats OF pub
fishing a document which would leave
him in the scandal. For this reason it
was necessary that they should represent
this Winsted matter and similar Stories
were without foundation. 1t therefore
became necessary for the defense to con-
slider the truth Of these stories. The tcs-
timony showed that this alleged school
girl was matured young lady, and that
the circumstances Of the affair at W IN
Sted, rs narrated by dlslntercStcd wit
ncsscs, were such rs to justify these re-
ports Of Tiltou's conduct, ana to justify
