Brewers Congress.

CINCINNATI, June 3.-ln the Brew.
ers' congress to-day the committee
on resolutions made lengthy report,
+reciting that brewers pay about nine
million dollars revenue tax, and stat.
ing that they would probably pay
more but for the stringent rules Of
the revenue office that render the
business dangerous; that it is desira-
BILE to obtain the best materials. in
the cheapest markets, free from the
duty now imposed upon imported
barley and hops. In order to com.
pete successfully with foreign brew.
-ers, they -requcst-the government to
remove all unnecessary restrictions
under which the malt liquor interest
labors, and ask that congress be pc.
titioned to amend the internal reve.
nue. laws, and especially to limitation of
the power which is assumed by the
commissioners Of internal revenue Of
deciding the amount of tax brewer
is liable to pay. They ask that GER
tain sections Of the present internal
revenue laws that are obnoxious to
the brewing interest with the cases
that have arisen from their enforce.
-ment be brought othe notice Of the
government; that the government be
-pctitioned to remove the duty on im-
ported barley, hops and malt. Upon
the question of prohibition it was re-
solved that the fallacics of tetotalism
be exposed, the statistics presented
by the -prehibitionists-tc- -annalized
and their assertions rcfuted; that
where restrictive and prohibitory en-.
actments exist, every possible meas.
ure be taken to oppose, resist and
repeal them; that politicians favoring
prohibitory cnactments should be cx-
posed when offering themselves for
Office, and that the true position of
malt liquors as healthful stimulant
be properly defined.
After transacting other business the

contradicted by other witnesses. He
then referred to the contradiction
between 'Tilton and the nurse in re-.
gard to the retraction scene, in which
Tilton visited tie sick room Of his
wife, and argued that Mrs. 4. was
perfectly happy after she had given
Beechcr the rctraction, and be-
fore she had denied the
truth Of that document to him.
I" But how could l help-importunity,
WEAKNESS, sickness? Tiltoh assured
me that this contrivance, if Immediate
iy used, would=put an end to all trou.
bic between us; that was my reason
not to hurt you, but. to aid him and
me as his subject and submissive
wife"
Evarts then referred to the motives
which led Tilton and Moulton to de-
stroy the confession documents, which
would have settled the nature Of the
charge beyond all controversy, had il
been preserved. He said the story
told by the nurse had not been con-
tradic,ed by Nloulton or Tilton in any
respect. Counsel then said Tilton
showed stories, at his wife's explana.
tion, IN which she says, finding the
iretraction placed her in hostile atti:
tude to her husband, she wrote the
third letter.. Counsel said the first
paper was eXactcd from Mrs. Tiltun
the night Tilton and Moulton were
storming in her chamber. When
Beecher asked Mrs. Tilton how she
could do, this, when it was not true,
she tells him, not that she thought it
was true; nor that there had been
anything between them that could be
of cquivocal import, but that she be-
lieyed it to be true for the moment.
Evarts told how Beecher was urg-
ed to give up this paper-his too
warm heart being the card Moulton
played. Counsel argued that Beech.
er's testimony on this part of the case
was much more creditable and con.
sistent with reason than Moulton's.-
All the frivolous falseheods ii, Moul.-
toms testimony are denounced as
falsehoods by Beechef: The jury
must Judge whether they were not
false in the consciousness Of the wit.
ness.
He then referred to the intercourse
between Moulton and Beecher at the
latter's house. When Moulton sue.
ceeded in getting the retraction which
Mrs. Tilton had deposited in Bcechcr's
hands with the guarantee that he
would not use it against Tilton,
Moulton argued that this paper was
to preserve peace and restore happi-
ness to the family, and promised to
keep it in his possession; but the
whole object Of that interview was to
retrieve false step and get out Of
the false position Bowen had placed
Tilton, when he took the letter
to Beecher. Mouiton testified
that he assured Beecher If he gave
up this paper, both confession aud re.

as he, (Beecher might request
