THE BEECHER TRIAL.
Summing Up the Eex1 Ching in Order
Only One week, HSa Then the
Verdict

New YORK, May I4.-AIthough the
end Of the trial was known to be very
near, yet there was considerable surprise
yesterday when it was suddenly an
nOunced, about five minutes before three
O'Clock, that the last witness he'd given
his testimony, and the case on both sides
was ready to be summed up and given
to the jury. Judge Nelson exhibited
uumixed satisfaction when Mr.. Evarts
announced that ne rested the defendants
case. The counsel on both sides ap-
peared to be relieved, and the jurymen
looked at one another and smiled as if
well pleased that their long confinement
was 50 nearly over. The reporters ap-
peared to be ready for throwing up their
hats and cheering, and there were many
congratulations and shaking of hands
among them. Before opening the after
noon session, Messrs. Evarts and Beach
satfOTseversi minutes talking and joking
with the jurymen. The subject Of their
conversation was the proposed adjourn
ment. The jurymen were strongly de-
sirOus Of going on with the case without
adjournment, but they yielded finally to
the wish Of the counsel. After adjourn
ment all the counsel on both sides as
sembed in Judge Nelson's room, where
they had private conference concern
ing the future management Of the case.
BeeCher stood some time after the court
adjourned surrounded by his friends,
VINO shook his hand and congratulated
him that the trial was so near its COM
pletiOn. He laughed and chatted busiIy,
and Mrs. BeecheT stood by smiling pleas
antly, bat speaking very little. TiltOn
remained standing alone for several
minutes; he did not glance in the direc-
ton Of the group Of persons sur
rounding Beecher. He has been very
busy with the papers in the case during
the whole trial, and his face wore an ex-
preston Of relief that his work was
done. He left the courthouse in COM
pany with mis- counsel after they had
finished their conference with Judge
Nelson. On Wednesday morning Judge
Nelson viii begin to sum up for the
defendant. He will occupy about two
days with his argument, which will be
devoted almost entirely 70 an analysis
of the testimony. Mr.. Evarts will fol.
low him, with another two days aTgu-
ment devoted 10 the general legal fea-
lures OF the case. Mr.. Beach will con-
duct the whole final argument for the
plaintiff He will begin as soon as Mr..
EgaTts mas finished, and will occupy
about two days. 1t is understood that
Judge Nelson's charge will not be very
long, and he expects that the case will
be finished the first week in June.

field Republican.
Mr.. Rsndal's friends here say that he
will sweep the Csucus fOT speaker; that
be will get more votes than all his rivals
combined. This may be mistake, but
it seems clear to me that he has been
gaining ground OF late. In anycontin-
gency but this the southern Democrats
would not touch him; for Sam Randall
is a genuine DemOcrst-plain, simple,
and exceedingly modest in his way Of
life. He i5 no associate of southern aris-
tocrats, and ordinarily they would not
take him up. They would now greatly
prefer Wood with his wealth and
naughty airs, or Kerr with his intellect
ual iciness, but Randall is hearty, hon
est and exceedingly popular. Every
body likes him. He is smart and would
make q good presiding officer, under
standing, as he does, parliamentary law
better than any other Democrat in the
new house, But, politically, the DEM
OCrats would do better to take Kerr, un-
less RandslPs personal popularity can
make itself felt throughout the country
where he is not known. For it is every
where known that he was an active ad-
vocate Of back pay, taking it most
thankfully. He has very moderate no.
tiOn5 for a DemOcrst in regard to south
ern affairs. He believes in the sacred
ness OF the national debt, and in giving
the colUred people equal rights. In re-
