THE DAYTON BoYs.-The fame of
the Dayton boys for all that pertains
to fun and frolic is becoming as
proverbial as that Of "the Watson
boys" We haven't heard of the
latter for some time, but the last we
heard of the former, they had or
ganized themselves into sort of
"Gideon's Band" and were nightly
holding forth in song, dance, con-
undrum and burnt cork, with head
quarters all around town and adj
mission free to all who can enjoy
joke or put their belts against the
timber and their coin on top of it.
Johnny H-s, Ruel L-p, Dan.
Nh and Billy By, are the
leading (vocaD spirits. AT the
Thursday evenings 'big- MIC" at
Fish's, they had the musical assist
of a thoroughbred organ, cranked
by desti-toot Teuton, whose melo-
dies softened the hearts of his hear
,ers, and added $50 to the depleted
treasury of the dilapidated dispenser
of ready made music. Nothing was
said or done to offend the most
fastidious, yet many new witticisms
were brought to the surface, and
some of the conundrums, as we'll as
some of the boys, were "placed I'M
der the table for further considera-
eshun." When asked to drink, the
boys don't say "no' anymore, but
simply signify an unwillingness to
have their clothes torn by a big

How shall n President be
Elected!

1t is of vital Importance that a
plan shall be elected by which the
people shall elect the next President.
Senator Morton's plan has been be.
fore the country for some time. Sen.
ator Wright, of Iowa, has recently
introduced bill for the same pur-
pose, differing somewhat from Nor.
toms. Morton would divide State
for election purposes int Represent.
alive Districts, and also have two
votes i'm the State at large to CORES
pond to the Senatorial representa-.
tion. Thus Ohio would have twen-
ty-two votes for President az now,
but insteatl of casting all the twenty
two votes for one candidate, as at
present, it would divide the vote in
the way decided by the people of the
several districts. Thus, I'm 1872, in.
stead of casting twenty-five votes fol
Grant, it would have given fifteen
for Grant and seven for Greeley
Senator Wright would do away with
electors, districts, and State represen.
tation. The people of the United
States would vote direct for Presi
dent and Vice President, and the
candidates having the highest mum
Der of votes would be declared elect
ed, Just as q Governor of State j:
elected by the aggregate vote of the
State, and not by the the vote o
counties and Senatorial Districts. The
relative merits of the two plans are
now open for discussion.--Gatc city

Heccher-Tiiton.

It would have been n manlier
thing for Mr.. Tilton, and he would
have commended himself more
strongly to the sympathies of the
community, had he put his wife
away when he became convinced of
her criminal conduct, and then pun
ished Beecner as he deserved, as any
man of spirit would do under such
circumstances. He would have stood
infinitely better before the public.
1t would have been better for him,
better for his guilty wife, for her par
amour, better for all concerned. The
nation would have been spared this
whole year Of horrible. demoralizing
scandal which has worked such mis-
chief i'm the church and in society,
and heIped to lower the tone of pub
lie morals. Mr.. Tilton has no ortho-
dox notions which would have inter-
ftred with such a course Of conduct.

doctrine itself Is sufficiently compre-
hensive to have suggested to him an
easy way out of his difficulties, and
ample measures Of revenge. All
this does not affect the question Of
Mr.. Beecher's guilt, and does not
palliate it IN the least. If he Is
guilty, the act remains detestable
and hideous, especially NO in a man
of Mr.. Beecher's years, and holy Of

main during the rest OF his life an

A CROWDED COURTROOM.


Although the failure of the trial TO result in any
delnite conclusion was known On Thursday, and
publicly announced in yesterday mornings papers
the nervous excitement of the great crowd in the
City COURTROOM in brooklyn yesterday was almost
rs intense as though the issue ~ the trial still
a mystery. Throughout IIruoklyn and New-lork As
well the interest at fever heat; discussion OF
tie subject was renewed, and conducted as warmly
as in the first days Of the scandal; and the bulletin
boards Of the newspaper offices were scanned as
eagerly as if the news h:l been unexpected.
The interest in hearing the final announcement of
the failure to agree was first evinced in the very
early appearance at the Courthouse OF the great
crowds who alternately begged and clainored for
admission. The gallery still closed for The ben
eft OF photographer whose implements have been
fixed there for several days, and the crowd appeared
surly at the reduction of their accommodations.
Through this mass of dissatisfied humanity, lawyers
ladies. and reporters who had liberty to enter the
courtroom had to press their way. As early
as ten o'clock the courtroom had begun
TO fill up, and by eleven o'clock there
was not standing room to be found Fully 80
reporters from the various Ncw-York papers filled
up the space within the bar and for the first time
drove the LAWYERS in the case from their desks, rs II
they had no rights there In some eases the princ-
pal Journals detailed a reporter to each juryman,
with directions 10 learn everything about the action
of the ury,yhie confined. The rest of ;he audience
within the bar was male up of the lawyers and
favored visitors whose faces have grown familiar as
attendants for the past months, and the plymouth
delegation.
To the last-named group several new faces were
added. Mrs. Bccch,r, faithful in her attendance to
the last moment, was surrounded by her children
and the friends who have been so repeatedly mem
toned as accompanying her. She came i'll a little
late not having bcrl promptly sent for, as the Judge
had requested and was greeted with more than the
usual s,lictudc, for il naturally expected that
some reaction unfayorable TO her health would
follow the unpleasant revelation, made the
day before, that the jury could not agree
an, must be discharged. But her friends
had undcrrat,d the strength of her nerves She was
still sustained by hope that the story when hah
gone abroad that Mr.. Halstead was one OF the sup
rorters of Mr. Tton was untrue, and t.at 1t would

4 PLEASANT CONFERENCE OF JURORS WITH
TIE JUDGE.

As the jurors left the courtroom they were be-
sieged by crowd of reporters who were anxious to
learn what had taken place during tn, eight days
seclusion Of the jury. The jurors said little, aud
Immediately proceeded to the juryroom upstairs IN
order to collect whatever belonged to them III
clothes, saches ETC., preparatory TO going to their
homes. The crowd WAS 80 dense that the officers
with difficulty made passage for them to the door,
and when the door was finally thrown open, the re-
porters crowding and jostling another. entered
the room and surrounded the jurors. Por some NM
utes they would not allow them TO depart, but find
ing that the jurors pcrsstenty refused to talk the
crowd gave way Mr. lIalstcad. one Of the jurymon,
said he would tell nothing Of what had occurred in
the iury-room. The Jurors, no said, had formed a
resolution When they first went ont to maintain ST.
lenee upon the whole matter. They had slept on
planks for eight nights but beyond this Mr. Hal
stead would nor reveal anything either OF the stand
