The 7dgto,.-Beecher Tria.

BROOKLYN. March 12.-The attendance
at tine Beecher-Tilton trial, as usual, was
large to-day. Samuel Wilkinson, Secre-
tary OF the Northern Pacific Railroad,
testified that he next saw TiIton, April,
1871, when Tilton entered witness Of
lice, and producing proof of a newspa-
per article, said he intended to publish b
il Beecher didn't do him justice.
Witness read the article. Tilton was
much excited, asserting he was in diff
cuity, in which Beecher could lift him
out, but had refused his aid. He also
stated he must be paid $1,000 which be
claimed Bowen owed him. Witness told
him it would do no good to publish the
article which is now known as personal
statement. Witness promised his as
Bistance to make Beecher aid him.
He also promised 10 help the Golden
that night and next morning. Moulton
called on witness in behalf of IIlton to
arrange for a settlement of the scandal
and to prevent its publication. Witness
proposed that Bowen should be inf1u-
enced to pay the $1,000; that Tilton
should be aided in the. Golden Age, and
every thing be done to prevent Tilton
from publishing that statement, which
would. precipitate matters.
Wilkinson continued, stating that he
(wilness) called at Moulton's house the
following Sunday by appointment, and
met Tllton, Moulton and Horace b. Claf-
lin. The Tripartite agreement was
tiien drawn up, but not signed by
Bowen, Beecher and Tilton. They
agreed that the scandal should not be
made public by either of them. After
ward an award Of $1,000 was made by ar
bitratOrs for Tilton to be paid by Bowen.
Witness then read the famous Tripar-
lite. Its. purp0rt was to complete the
relroaction OF all insinuations and state
ments made by Bowen and Tilton as
against Beecher, and expressing the
fullest confidence in Beecher as
preacher, and in his integrity to honor
as a man and Christian.
At a subsequent interview at Tilton's
house when the agreement had been
signed, witness had Il conversation alone
With Tilton and asked him if there was
any truth whatever i'll the rumorS about
Beecher's immoralities with Mrs. TIlton.
Tilton replied: "No, there is not one
sco1d of truth IN the matter. They are all
samorS aoithot any foundation, md L am
gldd they 0re n0lc set at rest. Tile ORly
thing Beecher ecer did a1aS to address I'M
proper Language to Mrs. 1itton." %
Tending The signing of this Trigartite
covenant, Tilton visited witness office,
and iu very angry mood demanded to
see the draft of his agreement. He said
be alone had been lett out in the cold,
had not been paid the money, and he
would not sign any paper to prevent
him from pursuing Beecher.
He lett Tic Office, taking the agreement
with him. 1t was agitated considerably,
and then signed by him in 1865. in
Washington witness had conversation
with Tilton, when the latter spoke dis
paragingly OF his wife on account of her
size and i'll looks.
He charged that she had not mentioned
matters which witness said were unfit
To repeat. The cross-examination had
just commenced when a recess was
taken.

The E0ner 1riai-- Motion to Discharge
The Ju1u

In the Egner murder trial this morning
the counsel tor the defense offered mo-
tion to discharge the jury, claiming that
II had been learned that one of the jurors,
named Thomas B. Virgins, had formed
an opinion. From the aftidavits attached
to the motion it appears that the
aforementioned juror at the time
the Rufer trial was about at its
close, while in company. with a party
L. Price, at Camp Dennison,
remarked "tnat they ALL" meaning
the two Egners and Rufer, sought to be
hung" after the proprietor Of the store
had said ~ don't think the boy, meaning
young Egner, ought TO be hung" Moth
ing definite, however, transpired this
morning, except filing the motion for
record. the whole of the remaining time
having been consumed in taking out bills
of exceptions, &c. ...'-
The Court during the whole of the
time maintained that the disposition of
the motion should be continued until
after the trial, in order to give the juror
charged with having expressed an opin-
ion. an opportunity to disprove the alle-
cations made against him.
The defense, however, seem 10 be I'M
willing to proceed before the matter
has been definitely decided.
The crowd this morning was as large
as usual and manifested the same inter
est throughout the case, remaining until
the adjournment of Court, although moth
ing OF Importance occurred. The Court
will probably decide the question this
afternoon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Court resumed its session this
afternoon at the usual hour and the de-
Tense proceeded with the testimony. The
motion which perturbed the proceedings
this morning was finally continued until
after the trial.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 12.-The
question on The admission OF Pinchback
was called up in the Senate to-day, and
debate followed. Among the speakers
was MIR. Chandler's successor, Mr..
Chris stiancy, who delivered his first
speech to the Senate.
He argued that the LEGISLATURE that
elected Pinchback WAS not, in his opin-
ion, legal body, and therefore lie should
vote against Pinchback's admission to
the Senate. Mr.. Christiancy read his
speech from manuscript.

There is one noticeable feature in the

but ready. He never carries any great
amount of tools to tell his modus Oper-

The opinion which Rahilly entertains of the
Pioneer Press is not very elevated opinion.
He says so, And, in the words Of our Minne-
apolls editor, "who blames him!"
We listened to story the other day. Smith,
who is a business man, fell in with Jones. who
is \ candidate tor office. Smith accidentally
mentioned in high terms his friend Brown,
and after saying that he was q good man, he
turned to Smith and asked him if he didn't
thinkso too' "What, Brown' Don't think
he is good man. Nc, sir, no. He is ras-
cal, sir. id rascal He opposes me-"
And so with poor Rahilly. He thinks the

him. Pioneer Press.
Mr.. Rahilly not only thinks so. but
the people know it, but that blind won't
work, tho Z. p has thrown eff the mask
aud is now an outspoken Republican pa
per, aud as Auditor Mcllrath's admin
istra,ion is the history oi the Republican

is no good reason why the usefulness OF
women should not be extended in this
direction by permitting them 10 have a
voice in the selection OF school off .ers
or to discharge the duties of such offices
il their own persons. One good effect
of such an arrangement would be TO re-
move school elections farther from the
sphere of partisan politics with which
they are now too often complicated.
The second amendm. mt is intended to
limit the liability of stockholders in cor
porations, excepting these in manufac-
tur NC or mechanical business, to the
amount OF stock subscribed by them in
other words, that stockholders shall not
be liable individually 'or the debts of a
corporation beyond the amount they
own on stock subscriptions. The con-
stitution now provides that 'such stock
holder In any corporation shall be itble
to the amount of the stock held or own
ed by him." We can see no good reason
why every partner in any corporation.
should not be held responsible tor the
management OF the concern to the full
extent OF his property. and on this
amendment we should tn, 1etore vote NJ.
The third amendment is in relation t.,
the investment OF moneys derived from
the sale of school lands, with vi W OF
authorizing the investment, OF the same
only in the interest bearing bonds of the
United States or this state, or of like
bonds Of such other states as the legisla-
ture may from time to time direct. This
amendment is designed to increase the
safeguards for the security of the schoo!
fund of the state, and we believe it
should be adopted.
The fourth amendment proposes to
give constitutional sanction Tor an in.
crease of the number ofjudicial districts
OF thu state to allow one or more judges
to each district; to present. that the
Judge must b. a residrnt of his district
and to provide for constituting COM
mon pleas judge, in case his court is
abolished, for his unexpired term, one
of the district .jugdes. There are already
twelve judicial districts in the state, Il
number that seems to he ample for all
the purposes of justice, and there does
not appear to be any good ground f r
the proposed increase, which would in
volve~a considerable increase of the ju-
dicia, expenses of the state without any
corresponding benefit. The amendment
should therefore be rejected.

following editorial of last weeks paper

The Pioneer-Press is trying, as usual. to
msrepresent our speech at Pennington before
the Democratic Republican County Conven-
ton. We showed in that speech that the plank
in the State platform demanded Immediate
preparations and effective measures to secure
the resumption Of specie PAYMENTS we ar
gued that this was not an endorsement of the
Republican Congressional programme which
declares that specie payments must he re-
sumed within four years. The Democratic
Republican party demanded, not immediate
resumption but immediate preparations to
secure resupmtion, All good Christians are
urged to prepare Immediately for the general
Judgment Day, and yet that Judgment Day
may be a million years ahead. Neither does
the platform endorse the Republican measures
for resumption but ''etfective'' measures The
Republican measures are not "effective;" and
the proof is that under their operation the pre-
MUM OH gold, instead of falling from ten per
cent. to nothing, has risen from ten to sixteen
or seventeen per cent. So that we are forty
per cent farther away from specie resumption
than we were when the Republicans com
mcnced to resume.
These are not the reflective" measures which
the Democratic Republican party endorsed.
The true programme OF resumption will prob
ably be formulated by the neXi Congress- 1t
will not be one that will crush out the indus
try of the people. Just as we write, the Even
ing Dispatch Is handed te US, with these head
lines to its associated press reports:

Sponsor for itG For Ourself, while we are not
i'll favor of expansion, We are not in favor of
any such cruel, heartless, impracticable scheme
as that inaugarated by the Republican party -
a policy which brushes the people, aud in
creases the price of gold.
The Tribune is much exercised over
the Democratic Republican platform and
ourselves; that platform recommends
immediate preparation for specie pay
ment, and that preparation does not lie
in Republican extravaganza, but in a
curtailment OF the national and State ex-
penses, which time has demonstrated
cannot be brought about through the
Republican party
While we labored earnestly Tor an
additional plank, we do not repudiate
immediate preparation.

TIE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
From the WinonA Republican


There are tour constitutional anne nd
ments to be submitted to a vote Of the
people at the coming election. The
first proposes to authorize the legisla-
ture to provide by law that women of the
age of twenty-one years or over may
vote in school meetings. for the election
of school officers, or upon any matter re-
lating to schools. and that women may
be eligible to any Office pertaining sole
" to the management OF schools. We
can see nothing objectionable in this
amendment and hope it will be RATIFIED
The experiment OF allowing women b
vote in school matters and to act as menu
bers of the educational boards or as
county superintendent Of schools. has
been tried in number of states and is
found to work well. Women in these
days have assumed very large share oil
the practical business OF education
They have in fact completely monopo.
lized all the primary and most Of the
secondary departments OF the public
schools greatly TO- the imnroyemant Qfshs
