TEle Great Scandal.

We have seldom smirched our col.
umns with the proceedings of the Court
in the Bcecher case.
But the testimony on the Tilton sid
within the past few days has been of 50
decisive and startling nature we would
not be justified in withholding for NOR
al and merely sentimental reasons a
synopsis of the revelations made. Firs t
there was the evidence of the nurse
Cary, then that of Mis-. Tiltons broth
CT, and last that Of Mrs. Mculton, wife
Of "The Mutual Friend" The first two
related what they saw, and their vcraci
ty must be imreached successfully by
the great Plymouth preacher, if he
stands. The last witness tells all she
knows Of the foul business, gained chic
ly through interviews with Bcechcr and
Mrs. Tilton. Her story of Bccchcr' 5
confession, remorsc and despair is a
fearful piece Of information, which if
not shown to be false, will damn tho dc
fendant in tho great trial to intamy and
disgrace.
The case of Tiltcn from first to last
has been managed with signal and ma,
terly ability. The defence likewise has
been brilliantly and laboriousy conduc
ted by the great lawyer Evarts and hi.
associates.
Apart from the legal aspects Of the
case as it stands bling, we may say
on the verge of a decision which ma,
nevertheless be postponed some weeks
