Beecher's Counsel surprised.


SUDDEN RESTING OF THE CASE FOR THE
PLAINTIFF IN THE GREAT SCANDAL.
SUIT. -.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-In the Brook.
lyn City Court to-day everybody was
surprised to hear Mr.. Beach announce
on that conclusion of Mrs. Moulton's
cross-examination that the Plaintiff
here, rested his case, Kate Cary, the old
servant, was recalled by Mr.. Evarts,
the counsel for the plaintiff, announc-
ing that she came ON the stand not as
witness for their side. Her testimony
was unimportant. The announcement
by MIR. Beach that the plaintiff closed
his case was sudden and welcome in
telligence to those who have marvelled
at the length of the trial. It was ex-
pected that MIR. Carpenter would be
witness. He has not been called, through
Judge Morris said he would be in his
opening" and that he would swear
that Mr.. Beecher confessed to him. 1t
was informally rumored that Mr..
Beach esteemed "the case strong
enough without Mr.. Carpenter and he
can be called in rebuttal if necessary"
The defence will open tomorrow.

REGULAR MBBTING--BRPoRTs OF PRO
GRESs-THB LIGHT HOUSE BOARD
COUNTY DIVISION DIaCuSSEn

| REGULAR MBBTING--BEPoRTs OF PRO
GREss-THB LIGHT HOUSE BOARD
COUNTY DIVISION DISCUSSED.
The Board of Trade met in regular
session last evening, the President, W.
Hastings, in the chair. Seventeen mem
bers were present.
The various committees having the
subjects in charge reported as follows:
Satisfactory progress Of the General
Incorporation Act; more hopeful feel
ing for change in the Usury Law q
probability that the Legislature and City
Council will appropriate the desired
amounts to the Centennial Fund; pro-
gress in the preparation of an Assign
ment Law; u probability that the erec-
tion OF IL Union Depot will be commenc-
ed before long.
Mr.. L, r. Warner read copy of an
act now before Congress providing for
new Light House Board, and also u
remonstrance against the passage of the
same. In few remarks he referred to
the efficiency Of the present Board, and
the general satisfaction its operations
had given everywhere. AS the present
Board had committed itself to placing
twelve additional lights along the Della
ware, the proposed change would prob
ably prove detrimental to the interests
of our river. He therefore moved that
the officers of the Board be authorized
to sigh the remons trance, and forward
to the United Senate, where the bill
above alluded to is pending. Adopted.
The Secretary read copy of the act
amending the Constitution of the State
by providing for the division of New
Castle county.
Mr.. William Il. Croasdale moved
that the Board approve and request the
passage Of the act.
In supporting his motion he referred
to the subject of the expense to be in
CURED by the division of the county
which he thought would not increase
to any extent the taxes now paid by
the upper portion of the county. The
only actual outlay required would be
the erection of new Court House.
He showed, from figures taken from
the county statements, that the greater
portion of tax was paid by the por-
posed new county, while the actual
expenses of the proposed new county
| were much less than those of New Cas-
tie county as fixed by the act. In one
item alone, bridges, roads and cause
ways, Wilmington county cost but 818,-
696.94, and New Castle county, $780,.
1870. The gross expenses OF New
Castle comfy were SAL. 624 .35, and of
Wilmington county, $50, ,85G.@1. The
assessments were; Wilmington county
$2S, ,810,315 New Castle county, $17,-
| S04, ,S31. Amount of taxation, Will
mington county, SIT ,S76.G0; New
Castle county, $109 ,480.63.
Mr.. Croasdale thought no objection
could be raised to the measure on the
score of economy, and considered it
the only scheme Of securing represen-
tstion for Wilmington in the State
Senate which has the ghost of any
chance
After some further remarks by
Messrs. Bush, jenkins, Stone and
Heald, the subject was laid over until
Tuesday night.
The Board then, ON motion, ad-
jOurned.

The GalIOws,

Ernest Ortwein, the murderer of the
Hamnett family, was hanged yester-
day at Pittsburg. He died calmly,
confessing his guilt. His crime was
committed on the night of the Goth of
April last, near Homestead, village
six miles from Pittsburg His vic
tins were John Hamnet and wife,
their two daughters and bound boy,
and he set fire to the house to conceal
his crime. Ortwein, who was farm
hand OF Hamnett's, was arrested and
confessed the crime, saying that he
did it for money. All that he secured :,
however, was fifteen dollars and few
pieces of jewelry.

Another outrage upon the colored
people of Mississippi. A negro has
been seized and deprived of his liber-
ty, and consequently of his right to
vote, merely because he had attempted
to wreck II railway train byplacing OBJ
structions on the track. The railway
company should at once be proclaimed
banditti. Has it come to this, that a
peaceable and orderly colored citizen
cannot place few trifling distractions
upon railway track without incurring
persecution and violence? This is the
result of permitting white Mississip-
plan to form reasonable organizations
under the transparent glise of railway
companies. = World.
