Justice and the Broollyu Trial.

Very possibly it is the outcome of mere
thoughtlessness, but one can hardly help
observing that number of journals which
found it impossible to dilate at sufficient
length upon the attractiveness and i'm
portance of the filthy balderdash uttered
in the course of the Brooklyn trial by such
persons as Moulton and Tilton, are now
quite as eager to make an end Of the tes-
timony which is rapidly accommodating on
the other side of the question. We hope
we shall not be suspected Of lending a COW
ert support to the Civil Rights bill if we
mildly observe that the evidence as to the
beastly conduct of Tilton and his associ-
ates of both sexes giving now by respect
able colored people is at least as worthy
of attention as the evidence of Tilton and
his associates upon any subject whatever.
The theory of some of our contemporaries,
we regret to say, seems to be that courts
of Justice are only convenient reservoirs for
supplying the daily press with lively and
amusing topics. So long as the current of
evidence in Brooklyn ran ia the direction
of making out Mr.. Beecher to be hypo
critic and debauchee these journals were
delighted to wallcw in it. Now that it
tends to show Tilton and Moulton to be q
couple of degraded conspirators its nause-
BUSINESS becomes suddenly apparent, and
the defendants lawyers are daily adjured
to put their client on the stand and be
done with the mess. The World has
shown its estimate of this deplorable and
disgusting affair consistently from the first
by its way Of treating it. MIR. Beecher
may or may not be thoroughly bad and
corrupt man. But the World has pro-
tested from the beginning against the
INDUSTRIOUS and demoralizing notion that
either he or any man of previously emf
nent and honorable repute should be con.
demned in public opinion on the strength
of the statements of two such utterly base
and unscrupulous persons as his chief ac,
cusers from the beginning have shown
themselves by their OWE words and work,
to be. And now that the matter is before
court of justice in technical form to b
tried by lawyers of high standing, tn
World must anew protest against wha
has very much the appearance either o
IN impudent or Of an ignorant attempt t
