MRS. KATE CAREYs TESTIMONY.

intercourse and its familiarity between Mr. Beecher and
Mrs Tilton You remember the detail OF circumstances
through which we became acquainted with Kate Carey

Mr. Beechergives rise very unkndly surmses to say

COURT SCENES AND INCIDENTS.

The attendance at the great trial and the interest
manifested continue undated The tendency to
applaud, however, was less marked yesterday than
1T has been at any time since the beginning OF the
summing up. Some of this decrease In demonstra-
flons NAV have been due to the fact that several
persons detected in the perpetration of ofenses of
this sort have lately been brought before Judge
Nelson and reprimanded.
The large number of counsel present yesterday was
q noticeable feature of the day. All of the lawyers
sn the case with the exception of Gen. Pryor, were
In the courtroom in the of the session. most
Of them remaining during the whole of the proceed
Ings. Mr.. Beecher present, looking animated
and cheerful, and taking notes at times OF matters
which interested him.
The little outburst on the part of the jury on Mon
day seemed to have relieved their minds of a load
which had oppressed them. and they had less of that
jistless appearance which has marked them for
several days.
Mr.. Beac's manner of speaking continues UNI
changed His voice is somewhat husky but his
Zones have a deliberate earnestness that gives full
effect to his vigorous words. Several attempts at
satire were made by him yesterday. One of these
that was greeted with laugh by the supporters of
both parties the controversy had reference to an
extract from Mr.. Beechers sermon - the nobility
of confession" preached Oct. a. 1868. Mr.. Beecher
says that person should take counsel wise counsel,
before confessing; counsel like Sherman and
Tracy" said Mr.. Beach.
There was very little if any decided. effort on the
part of the orator the exhibition of the graces of
forensic rhetoric The speaker for the most part
seemed anxious to hurry through the remaining
topics of the evidence. 1t is believed that Mr. Beach
will finish his summing up to-day In contradiction
of published statements it may be stated that the
ueqnests TO charge have been handed in to Judge
Nelson, and the latter, in the course of some re-
marks yesterday, expressed the hope that his
charge would be so entirely fair that counsel
might do him the compliment of making no re-
quests"

In fact, Gen. Roberts and his lieutenants in
attacking the character of Mr.. Blaine are as
unfortunate as in their attacks upon the pro-
hibtory law. Mr.. Blaine is recognized through
out tie whole country AS one of the first
statesman Of our tins, He has aeQuit ted
him>elf bonorably and well in all the positions
TO which he has been chosen. He has. as is
natural, met with sharp opposition. He has
been closely watched by his opponents in and
out Of the party. and no blot or stain rests up
on his private or public life. The republic ans
Of Maine are proud Of him. They have found
him always the ready and able champion OF
Their interests. They have carefully ,crutin-
lied the charges that party or personal hostiIi.
~ had brought sgainst him. and they have
seen that they had no other fann iston than
personal or party hatred.
III Gen. Roberts and his lieutenants would
have the slightest hope OF success they must
mud more vulnerable poin's in the republican
lines than the prohibitory law or the character
OF Hon. James Il. Blaine.
