THE NEW TACTICS.

In the Brooklyn scandal suit the the
DRY Of the defense was not SO much to
prove the innocence Of the defendant
by disproving the allee atoms of the
plaintiff, as it was to blacken the
character of the latter, aud show
that though .Beecher might be
no better than q minister of the
Gospel should be, Tilton was worse
than any living man ought to be. The
partial success of this new system of
tactics by the disagreement of the jury,
aud the increase of the pastors salary
by his emotional flock, has led to its
in politics. In California
a suit similar in some respects to the
Tilton-B eecher affair is now being tried
by the people. The parties in the
case have all been members of the
party of morality" as those in the
scandal suit had been members of the
Plymouth Church. One exposed to
the outside world the character of
Beechers flock, and the other is likely
to show the honesty of the Republican
leaders in California. Dissentions be-
tween the ms and the outs-the Office
holders and office seekers, bid fair to
prove that both are dishonest and cor
rupt, and unworthy the confidence of
the people. Bidwell, who sets himself
up as great reformer, is charged by
Sargent with stealing 20, coo acres of the
best land in the Sacramento Valley.
Bidwell, instead of refuting the allega-
ton, which appears to be impossible,
refers to Sargent's record az Con-
gresham, and shows that he iutro-
duced and voted for bills, in the pas
sage of which he was personally III
terested. The result of these charges
and counter charges is to convince the
people that Bidwell, who claims to be
the personitication of honesty, though
professedly opposed to all kinds of
monopoly. is really land grabber of the
meanest order, who has resorted to the
basest trickery to enrich himself at the
expense of the hundreds seeking homes
in the valley of the Sacramento. Bid
wells counter charges against Sargent,
even if true, do not prove the falsity of
of the allegations against himself, and
unless the professions of the Independ-
ents are mere buneombe, they will not
support him for Governor.

A BIG STRIKE is reported to have been
made few days ago near Palisade,
which bids fair to rival anything on the
Comsteck lode. A party of gentlemen,
of whom l.. I. Hogle is prominent, have
visited the spot, and have brought in q
number of specimens which under as
say, fire and acid, have indicated sur
prising richness. An assayer of Eure-
ka pronounced it worth 500 per ton.
In any event it is big thing, and some
specimens containing gold are worth
$4,500 per ton.

THE British public, after lapse OF
fifty years. recently concluded to place
marble slab over the grave of Byron
in the chancel of Hucknall Torkard
Church. The living relatives of the
great poet decline the proposed honor
in letter to DIsraeli, in which they
say:
We have not forgotten that when
Lord Byron's remains were brought
back to England they were refused n
resting place IN Westminster Abbey
that 1t was left to his sister, Mrs.
Leigh, and to his friend, Mr.. Hobhouse
perhaps the two who loved him best
to bury him, aud that together they
placed tablet to his memory. What
their affection then deemed suitable VIC
still hold to be enough. nor can we
think that the addition Of slab placed
by subscription in Hucknell Church
would add anything to the dignity of
the poets tomb. At least, it is not for
the public. which denied a wortLier
grave to take now, after fifty years,
unaskiug from his family, the guardian
ship of their dead.
