The Beecher-TiItOn Trial.
Brooklyn, March G.-Rumors pre-
vailed yesterday in the absence Of any
proceedings in the Beecher trial. that one
OF the parties to the suit had withdrawn,
and that there would necessarily follow
discontinuance of the case The rumOr
doubtless, grew out Of the reports that
one of the principal counsel had resolv-
cd to withdraw in consequences of the
neglect to his other business. He has
been induced, however, TO remain in the
case and will doubtlcs, conduct it to the
close. Mr.. JcifreyS, the sick juror, on
whose account the trial was adjourned,
has entirely recovered. The attendance
at the trial is to be limited hereafter and

Just fill the seats The court room will

persons who apply for admittance are
ladies, and sometimes they succeed in
passing the guards.

Government Interference I'm state
Anairs---A Howl from Rhode Is
ia"d.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Gov. Howard,
of Rhode Island, presented to the Senate
Yesterday, a report Of the Chief Consta-
ble relative to official interference Of the
United States Marshal ut the recent seiZ-
ure of liquors, which were under the pro-
lection vi the State. On presenting the
report the Governor made u speech, in
the course of which he said In the COL
IiSion between the officers of the State and
United States. | was called on by mem
bers of the cOnstabuIary and informed Of
AN existing difficulty and asked to inter
tcrc in the matter. Although there was
no doubt in my mind that might direct
Il portion Of the military of the State to
sustain the State officers yet prudence re-
quired that the question might better be
decided by the courts than by the inter-
ference of the military. | therefore di-
rected the constabulary tomake no iurth-
er effort to seize the liquor
then held by the United States Marshal
and Chief of Police. As II result this has
been plucardcd H. Il victory on the part
Of the United States Marshal ] agree
fully with the universal opinion that
their attachments are ColluSivc and there
by disguise the shame. | share the
General sense of modification at the in
dignity to which our commonwealth was
subjected. | realize the gravity Of the
situation and recognize II as our impera-
tive duty to take measures for the carly
adjustment of the question. There has
been dinned into our ears for the past
Elk months, threats in regard to Fort
Adams and the Revenue Cutter, but 50
lung us these threats Were words and
rude words, they have been treated as
such. vet when it is gravely stated by re-
spectacle and intelligent journals that
troops from Fort Adams and 4 United
States revenue cutter had been placed at
the disposal of the Marshal, it seems
proper TO ask why. 1t must be for the
purpose Of waginS war on the people Of
the State, who have been noted for their
intelligent patriotism. Your presence
here i, Il mockery and Il farce. Ifsuch pro-
ccciiugs are sustained by the Federal
government. your honorable Judiciary
and Executive may rs well resign their
offices. and leave the control and direc-
ton of State affairs to subOrdinates of the
United States government. No gravcr
question has been forced upon the State
since It's first settlement. 1t Is vital
question, for in it ARE involved the SOW
rrciguity of the State and harmonious
relations with the United States. The
little State OF Rhode Island is entitled
on >uch points, to equal respect as larger
States and the general government itself
