The defense of Mr.. Beecher approaches its
crisis. Hitherto the lawyers have mainly con-
fined themselves to efforts at breaking down
the testimony of Mr.. TitOn. They are now
undertaking TO break down that of Mrs.
Moulton. They mean to show that Mr..
Beecher could not possibly have made the
confession to which Mrs. Moulton swore with
such minuteness They have proved his
whereabouts after o'clock on that day, and
are expected to attempt the same thing con-
corning the earlier hours. If they succeed, it
would seem not only that most of the evil
dence for the prosecution, excepting Mr.
Beecher's own letters, falls to the ground,
but that there is immediate need in Brooklyn
for two or three lively prosecutions for perjury.
On the other hand, if they fail, the failure
would seem to be nearly if not necessarily
fatal.

The appearance of Gen. Batter and Mr.
Harrington of Safe Burglary notoriety rs conn
Sci for Mr. William S. King on his trial for
perjury adds another element of interest to
the trial, although it does not impart pre-
possessing air to Mr.. Kings case. Gen. But
ler's management of the defense yesterday
was worthy of his reputation, and showed
that Mr.. King fully appreciates the import
ance of the decision now to be given in the
Washington Court and the bearing which con-
victon may have upon his political prospects.

The Park Commissioners have made very
prompt reply to the charges against them, and
one which appears to bear out their assertion
that clerical error was the only foundation
for suspicion. They show that the balance of
appropriation from former year, amounting
TO $4,000, was enormously added to the
really available balance toward the close Of
1874 thus aiiordiug opportunity for miscon-
ception as to the real condition of their funds
