CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-In the Senatorial
contest in the Minnesota Legislature
there seems no probability that the Re-
publican difference can be harmonized
on either Ramsey or Davis. 1t is con-
ceded that unless some compromise CAM
didate is secured by the Republicans at
once they will be defeated by the Demo-
Gratis. backed by disatiected Republi-
cans, before any negotiations are made.
However, there will be severe test of
endurance on the part of all interested
contestants. The friends of DonDelly
are not only hopeful but sanguine. Da-
Wis and Ramsey have both reached their
probable limit.
In debate to-day on resolution in
dorsing Grant and his Louisiana policy
Governor Robson will make telling
speech against Grant. He was a free
State Governor and will draw aparallel
between the outrage on the. Kansas Leg
islature, which so fired the Northern
heart in the early days of the Kansas
battle for freedom, and the present at

The 1tlton- -Beecher Trial.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. 20.-The usual
crowd of spectators attended the Beech
er trial to-day, interspersed with mem.
bers of Plymouth Church, clergymen,
lawyers, lew ladies, and others, all in.
terested in the progress Of the cause.
Bcecher and TiltOn were both present,
with troop Of friends. Moulton took
the stand. Evarts announced that eX-
Judge Porter, associate counsel, had been
taken suddenly ill.
AS he has been conducting the cross
examination of Moulton, this would Sc
riOusly embarrass the defense, who
would be compelled to apportion cross
examination among them. The counsel
for Tilton strongly objected. Judge
Nelson said he had no objection to two
counsel conducting the examination.
Beach delivered speech protesting
against this decision, and said he would
seriously object il it were decided be-
tween Evarts and Tracey.
stopped him and quietly said he saw no
impropriety in Tracy conducting it.
Tracy then sharply denounced Beachs
remarks as unwarrantable, and said for
the assault upon him Beach was person.
ally responsible to his conscience and his
God.
He spoke few words, declaring his
belief in Beecher's innocence, and was
halntly cheered when he ended. Tracy
then began the cr0ss-eXamination, con-
lining Moulton chiefly to the interviews
)ber, 1870, and January, 1871.
Tracy continued the cross-eXamina-
tion of MOultOns He questioned him in
relation to the pistol scene with Beecher.
MOultOn locked the door after Beecher
had retired. Only knew in a general
way the nature of Bowen's charges
against Beecher. He told Beecher he
considered Bowen treacherous.
+ Tracy then endeavored to show by wit.
mess that Tilton told him the story about
Bowen.
an instant, and objected to it. After a
long wrangle, the question was finally
admitted by Judge Nelson.
MOultOn denied that Tilton told him
that Bowen told him that Beecher en-
gagged rooms at the hotel with bed
room adjoining, in company with lady.
but admitted that Tilton told him
Beecher had acted improperly towards
several women. Moulton never explain
ed to Beecher that he believed those sto-
ries, but simply said Bowen was treach-
er0us.
Witness was certainly not Beecher's
enemy. Another rangle occurred be-
tween the counsel over Tracy's dogmat-
ic style of pushing the witness to tell
whether he knew that Mrs. TIlton was
sick.
MOulton then recited the famous inter- |
view between himself and Beecher, IN
which he demanded Mrs. 'Tilton's retrac.
tiOn. Some dispute occurred concern
ing the terms "seXual intercourse" and |
and it was finally decided |
to leave the question to the steno-
graphers notes. A recess was then
taken.
