ever living God, the searcher of oil hearts,
to tell the truth, we should do him the justice
to listen to his story and not to insist that
every sentence be utters is q lie because it
does not tally with our hopes or our preju-
dices.
We are certainly no partisan of Mr.. Beecher.
There are many things in his course, even
from his own admissions, which we cannot
but censure. We like to see fair play. While
he is testifying, at least, and speaking under
the most solemn circumstances that can sur
round citizen, it is the height of rudeness,
not to say injustice, to endeavor to break down
his testimony by denunciation. If it is to
be broken down let the lawyers do it. But
give Mr. Beecher the benefit of his life, of
his years, of the fearful responsibility he has
at stake, and, above all, of the fact that he is
speaking under the solemnity of an oath and
in presence of the penalties of the law.

The Position OF Mr.. Beecher.

The trial in Brooklyn has long since passed
out Of the ordinary rules which govern actions
at Law. The general custom on the part Of
the press not to comment upon cases before
court and jury has not been followed by our
journals in dealing with Mr.. Beecher. We
think X Is mistake in many ways, but the
blame does not rest with the press. Ice trial
OF Mr. Beecher has never been purely legal
proceeding, either by plaintiff or defendant.
Both gentlemen addressed themselves to the
public, in statements, in cards and ''inter-
views" and strenuous efforts to manufacture
and stimulate public opinion. Mr. Tilton
himself did vast amount Of work in this di-
rection. and with great effect for be succeeded
in forming party against the most adverse
circumstances. o party that will sustain him
whether ne wins o. loses. Mr.. Beecher has
not been 50 fortunate in affecting public
opinion, probably because he has not been SO
Industrious and partly also because he is
in the position Of strong man surrounded
by multitude Of friends, sustained by
wealth, position and influence, while his an
tagonist seems to be alone in the world, with
out money or TRENDS.
Since we are, therefore, all discussing the
Beecher case, there is one point that We think
should be made, aud it Is this:While Mr..
Bsccher il on the stand let him have the
full benefit Of his evidence. Many OF our
journals are discussing Mr.. Beecher's evidence
a. though lie must necessarily be lying.
Nothing could be more unfair, not only to
the defendant but to ordinary justice and fair
play. If Mr. Beecher's evidence can be
destroyed il viii BE done by due process Of
law, either by cross-examination Or the evil
dence Of witnesses competent 70 disproye his

also exhibited in the blindness of the demo-
cratic leaders 10 the main cause Of the sur
prising revolution which turned their heads
ries were chiefly due TO the panic
and the stagnation which followed
The 'tidal wave" was set in motion
by the panic and now, when the panic has
spent its force and business begins to revive
the progress of the "tidal wave is arrested.
Every other cause to which the democratic
party organs and stump orators ascribe their
successes last year was in full operation long
before the panic commenced, and has
lost none of its force. Not even
the third term has been renowned,
and on other subjects President Grant is
more Justly exposed to damaging criticism
than he was last autumn, when the cleo
tons were so unfavorable to his admins
tration. His action in the South
was far more acceptable in the early
part Of last year than it has been this
year. Last year he promptly refused to in
interfere in Texas; he avoided interference in
Arkansas as long as he could, and when he did
act his course met the general appreciation
of both parties But this year his military
intervention in Louisiana and Mississippi has
exposed him to a great deal Of well-founded
denunciation. These causes ought to
have made the democratic victory in Con-
necticut greater than it is, especially as the
republican partly strongly Endorsed the Presi-
dent. But the panic md business stagnation,
which have heretofore helped the democracy
more than any other cause, are beginning to
abate, and if there should be a considerable
revival Of business, extending and growing
through the season, the party will find it more
elections OF last year.
The result of the Connecticut election
gives the democratic party no reason for
encouragement if its leaders will have the
wisdom to abjure Bourbonism once for all,
and if their opponents shall persist in
their allegiance to Grant in spite of
his third term aspirations In New Hamp-
shire the republicans repudiated the third
term and recovered the State. BY pursuing
the same course they might have recovered
Connecticut, whereas in consequence of in
dorsing Grant, they have barely made small
reduction Of the democratic majority Of
last year. If in next falls elections the
republicans resolutely and unequivocally
throw Grants third term aspirations
overheard the renewed business activity
which must by that time have taken place
will enable them to recover great deal of
the ground they lost last year. They might
have done better in Connecticut than they
did in New Hampshire if they had cast off the
heavy load of Grantism with which they were
haudicappad

columns this morning. The Hon. Ebert
Herring, whose career is now sketched has
celebrated his ninety-eghth birthday. He
remembers New York when the city did not
extend much beyond Ann street, and when
the best people resided below Wall street. and
when Bridewell Jail stood on the site of the
City Hail. and when the city was not half the
size OF Newark. Mr.. Herring has lived in
New York for more than ninety years, was
admitted to the Bar in 1898, and was judge
Of the Marine Court tho year Napoleon be-
came Emperor Of France. Charles O. Conor
now an old and Industrious man, was student
in his office. DIr. Herring was also Commits
