MRS. TILTON PUTTING EVARTS UP TO
THNGS.-Yet Mrs TiltOn is bynO means so
indifferent to the proceedings as she was az
first. For the last three or four days Beechcr
has taken no notice of her, and she sits ali
day with her head bent, staring vaguely at
the carpet. To be sure, She has disguised all
neutral observers by the frequency with
which she writes little notes, each suggesting
point wherewith her husband shall be
plagued by his crOSS-cXaminer. Nor. / am

session. and. when in session. without being
subject TO much greater expense and loss Of
Time than they would suffer in the municipal
court.
You are undoubtedly aware. Mr.. Editor,
That u was intended to abolish the Office of
justice of the peace in this District when the
Police Court now under Judge SneID was
established: but this was prevented by the
strong opposition and overwhelming inffu-
ence OF several thousand Signers against the
Threatened prescription. Ii is firmly believed
mat there is as strong an opposition on the
part OF The people TO this wholesale, unjust
and llllberal denunciatiOn Of the District JUS
tlces HO'c as was plainly and unequivOcally
demonstrated three years ago.
Our worthy delegate in Congress. General
Chapman, appeared then opposed to this
wholesale and Liberal deRUnciatiOn of the
m&gistracy, and will not harbOr the Thought
mat ne is not so rO1C, or that he has changed
DIS position or views upon the subject.
