General Tracy continued bis address in the
opening of the Beecher case yesterday, and
will conclude on Monday. This begins the
second stage of this extraordinary trial. From
the tone Of General Tracy's address we should
infer that the policy OF the friends of Mr..
Beecher is severe, comprehensive and decis-
i've. They mean to carry the war into Africa.
We do not pretend to follow the
drift of the Generals argument in all
its phases. Mr.. Moulton may be Judas
Iscariot, but under our law even Judas
Iscariot would be a competent witness until
he was contradicted. Our concern is not
with Mr.. Moulton s resemblance to picture
of Leonardo da Vinci, but with his veracity.
Rhetoric never destroyed the truth; and is
Mr.. Moulton O truthful man? One very re-
markabie feature is the prominence assigned
to Henry G. Bowen. That gentleman is now
holding remarkable position in this unfor-
tunate affair. He has been, from the
foundation of Plymouth church, among
its conspicuous members, and has been
more or less identified with the fortunes of
Mr.. Beecher since he came to Brooklyn.
The problem Of the scandal has been what
would Mr.. Bowen say, if he said anything :?
Thus far he has preserved silence. The most
enterprising reporters have failed to draw
from him an expression of opinion. Whether
he is an enemy or a friend of Mr..
Beecher is unknown. The general impression
conveyed by those who control Mr.. Beecher's
side Of the scandal is that Mr.. Bowen atti-
tude is that of 1ago, who cared little whether
Cassie killed Roderigo or Roderigo Cassie,
finding his gain IN the death of each This
uncertainty has come to an end by the speech
of General Tracy, who directly charges that
Mr.. Bowen has been an active conspirator
against the peace and honor of Mr..
Beecher Mr.. Bowen, who has certainly
shown courage whenever he has made his
appearance in the scandal, answers by a
prompt and emphatic card, defying Mr.
Beecher to call him to the stand and give him
an opportunity of telling the truth. Whether
Mr.. Beecher will accept his challenge or not
is question. 1t is certain that Mr.. Bowen
now becomes the most important figure in the
controversy Until his evidence Is heard the
whole truth will not be known. He will
probably be called as witness by Mr.. Tlton
when the evidence for rebuttal is given
A correspondent, whose letter we publish
elsewhere, follows up the suggestion of the
HERALD that this trial cannot come
to an intelligent conclusion by omit
ting the evidence Of Mrs. Tilton with
the suggestion that the law should be
amended so AS to make her competent wit
ness. Nothing is clearer than that the posi-
ton of Mrs. Tilton is hardship. If, under
our law, a husband can swear away the honor
of his wife without giving her al opportunity
OF defending herself, then tho law is ut fault.
But we question the wisdom of altering
our statutes TO suit any case, and
we see no possibility of the Legislature being
brought to change the statute merely to suit
the engencies Ct Brooklyn jurisprudence
We never know the exact operation of our
laws until they are tested. Whatever tho

RAPID Transit has suddenly become IA
sorite theme for the law-iraming endeavors of
Dur legislators, and two new schemes we're
introduced in the Legislature yesterday. What
the people of this city want is a comprehensive
measure that will secure them what is now the
great need of the metropolis, and members
must understand that they will be held re-
sponsible for any failure which may occur

able to show that he has battled against every
OF every priest and every minister to know
that no dangerous walls are overhanging his
church, and to see that the means of egress
from the ediice are ample in case of some
unforeseen disaster. We hope this fearful
lesson may have the effect of inducing the
clergy of this city and of every city to care
more thoroughly Tor the safety of their focks
and to guard against calamties like that
which befell the worshippers at st. Andrews.

them are the legitimists, who will have Henry
V. or war. the Middle Ages or revolution, the
Bourbons or the Commune. We have also
the Bonapartists, whose claim to power is
the splendor of the Empire. They would
have France forget the humiliations of
Waterloo and Sedan in the achievements Of
Baron Haussmann and the building of new
boulevards. This party finds it's strength in
Partisan merchants and fashionable shop
keepers, who yearn for another throne. the
pageantry of court, the gaudy magnifcence
of the imperial regime. Brilliant as these temp
tations are, especially to the mind of nation
fond of taste and display and decorations the
wiser and higher sense of France sees that the
Empire is but tinsel and ornament covering
intrigue, despotism, social corruption, insur-
rection and war. France, it. sees, can rest upon
no solid basis unless it embraces the Republic.
The Republic will revive the other cities
OF France, and no longer sacrifice the inter-
ests of the nation to the welfare of the me-
tropolis. If the vicisstudes of this interesting
and wonderful people teach anything it is
that no policy is more disastrous to the true
welfare of France than the Napoleanic idea that
the welfare of France should be sacrificed to
the glory and emolument of Paris. No nation
can live and be truly great that yields to this
temptation. The greed of the Roman citi-
zens sacrificed Italy. The republicans of
France have learned from Rome that nation
must grow to power upon elements more
durable than the wealth and display of
petted capital.

In DISTRIBUTING the blame which attaches
to different people for the terrible calamity at
st. Andrew church We must not overlook the
fact that the priest in charge of the parish is
not entirely free from censure He should
have insisted sternly and constantly upon the
removal of the dangerous wall. II was his
duty to care for the safety of his people, and
here was danger menaclng them whenever
they entered the church, and resulting in q
calamity from which vigorous action on his
part might have saved them. As a matter of
course, we do not wish to be understood rs
imputing responsibility for the disaster to
him, bat to point out that priests duty to
his people is only fully performed when he is

From the News of yesterday.

WAGER and Seiden, the two men in
the County Jail for passing counterfeit
money, had a trial, some ten days ago,
before Justice Bush for petit larceny,
and were convicted and fined. They
Immediately paid the fine and their at
torney's Zee. In their good judgment
they paid the court fees i'll genuine cur
rency, but paid the attorney with a $50
counterfeit Treasury note. The attor-
ney now carries T~hompson's Counter
felt Detector in his pocket, and is
ready to "expert" Oh all questionable
bank bills.
INFORMATION Is wanted of Thomas
Rollins, who formerly resided in this
place. Any one knowing his present
Whereabouts, will confer a favor by
addressing Harry Rollins, Orange, Los
Angeles county, California.

NO vERDIC

Up to $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon the jury in the Tilton-B eecher
case had not reached q verdict. 1t was
rumored on the outside that they stood
eight for Beechsr to four for Tilton.
This is. Of course, mere Speculation
and guess work. Judge Nelson seems
to have some hope yet Of q verdict, as
he sent the jury back and adjourned
court until Monday. He informed
them before they retired that if they
agreed in one hour he would receive
the verdict, but if they delayed beyond
that time they would have to wait
until Monday. They have now been
out since Thursday noon, in all nearly
sixty hours, with q sure thing on an
opportunity to hammer away at each
other for . couple of days longer. Yer
dict or no verdict, II is highly probable
that they will be discharged when the
court again meets. In the meantime,
the telegraph informs Us that Beecher
is wholly unconcerned about the r
dict, and, whether adjudged guilty or
innocent, he intends to continue
preaching for his congregation. whom
he says will stand by him through
good or i'll report. This announce
ment was made by him at one of the
regular prayer meetings of Plymouth
Church, and caused quite a sensation.
The reverend gentleman, in his say
ings and performances of late. is ex-
hibiting backbone of q high order.
Evidently he has bravely recovered
from that fit Of dependency which
had possession Of him when he wrote
the celebrated letter of contrition, in
which occurs the words ~ even wish l
were dead" But Beecher explained
all this on the stand by saying that he
was conscicnce-stricken at the time for
having put up q job on Tilton to get
him out Of the Independent. Truly is
Beecher an emotional old coon, when
he wants to be. L.

WHITE PINE.

The Ne,cs advocates the erection, by
. home company, of smelting works at
some eligible point in White Pine Dis
trict, and adds, that il an enterprise of
this character is not inaugurated the
present season, the peopleof Hamilton
will experience duller times than have
yet been witnessed in that section.
Smelling ores are abundant in White
Pine mountain, and it does seem that
an undertaking of the kind, suggested
by the NeWs, ought to pay hand
some prefit on the money required to
put it through. II may be that that Sec
ton will not see the needed improve
ment this season, but we are sanguine
that II can not be postponed or delayed
beyond another Summer. With the
completion of our Narrow-Gauge to
Eureka, White Pine will be placed
within forty miles Of rail connection
with the rest of the world; and when
that Is accomplished there will be no
trouble about her immense store of ore
being utilized at q fair profit. White
Pine may have to wait yet a little
longer, but, assuredly, there are bright
Or aud better times in reserve for her.
Another year, in fact, will tell wonder
fully for the progress of all mining
localities in the Great East. Many
places now comparatively dormant
must revive and take on a new lease Of
life and business activity, just as soon
~ the mountains begin to echo back
the shrill whistle OF the approaching
locomotive.

entirely too long for this issue; in fact,
it is rather long for any issue of a daily

ever, we will try to make room for it
Tuesday. We hope that persons in
writing for the SENTINEL will learn to
restrict their communications to rea-
sonable limits. The excellence of a
production does not necessarily consist
in its length; great men can always
put down what they know on a given
subject inside of a column. Boil 'em
down, boys, or we shall be compelled
to reject, and we never want to do that.
We repeat, boil 'em down!
