A Point Made by NIoulton.
From the Cleveland (O.) Herald. I

lI4O4u CuC NlcVclLIlu W. herald.
Those of our readers who have followed
the testimony of Moulton in the Tilton.
Beecher case, have been struck, no doubt,
with one feature in it. Moulton frankly
and fully admits that he, all along, when
acting as the friend Of Beecher, deliber-
ately and dcsignedly not only prevaricat-
ed but, when necessary, told lie to
various persons, including Rev. Mr.. Halli-
day, as to the innocence Of Mr.. Beecher.
These frank admissions of MIR. Moulton
| will entirely do away with the testimony
of Halliday and others by whom the de.
fence expected to invalidate the testi-
mony of Moulton, he admitting in ad-
vance. and under oath. all that could be
proved by such witnesses. No one
who has ever been familiar with the trial
of law cases will fail to appreciate the
difference between witness telling such
things of himself and the calling of them
| out by other witnesses. Had Moulton
failed to tell that he had deceived people
who made enquiries Of him, or had he de.
nicd that he had done so. and then had
| the defense proved by other witnesses
that he (Moulton) had been guilty of de-
ception, the effect against Moulton would
have been very great. As it is now.
every reader will ask the question ::
"Would not have done just so had !
been in Moulton's place?'' We do not
propose to discuss the abstract PROPOSE.
ton, whether a falsehood, under any cir
cumstances, is justifable, but leave the
matter to each one to solve for himself
whether, as the friend Of both parties,
with such immense domestic interests in
| volved, and even the cause of religion
more or less involved, he would rot have
attempted to keep the truth from being
known.

Never before in this country have rail-
road interests felt the result of unjust
laws more than now. Never before have
the people felt the result of these laws
with the same bitterness as now. Wis
consin with it's hundreds of miles Of rail-
road tracks was but a short time since
entering upon a new era in the way of
railroads. The Potter law with it's clinch-
ing, grasping proclivities was by major
ity thought to be '.just the thing" Time
has proven 20 the contrary. Capital
heretofore freely expended and legislation
generously given, was nipped in the
bud, while hundreds of laboring men are
to-day out Of employment on account of
this law where otherwise would have
been employment for many more. At a
meeting Of the Wisconsin State Grange,
at Madison, last Saturday, speeches and
resolutions for modification Of the ex-
listing State law were passed, so as to en-
courage rather than repel the investment
of capital in that direction. Wisconsin
has suffered more during the past year
than she can regain in five years !; and
our own State in proportion to its legis-
lation has felt the results of it's acts. Give
railways their just deserts, and time will
prove that where now bowling wilder
ness exists only short time will elapse
before the iron-horse will open up the
country and afterward in quick success
sion farm houses will be erected and
golden grain waving in many field.
The cry of monopoly which short time
ago was upon the tongue of many is to-
dav a thing of the past and among the
wish-to-be-forgotten things.
1t is true certain amount Of legisla-
ton is necessary, but how to determine
the limit is to be known only by years Of
effort. The present state Of things cam
not exist, must not exist.
The iron trade is paralyzed. The
streams that labored night and day for
man are given respite and pour them
selves idly over their dams. Mills run on
half time. many are stopped altogether.
In some wages are reduced. In the mean
time winter is upon us, and there is GREAT
