The prosec ution in the Beecher
trial have rested their case. We now
know the worst which they have to
offer. With one or two exceptions, 1t
is the same story which was told in
the newspapers last fall. and illustra-
ted SO strikingly in the Daily Graphic.
These exceptions are the testimony of
Mrs. Moulton and that of Mrs.
Cary, a nurse. Mrs. Moulton swears
to what her husband had testified to
before her-nothing more, nothing
less. She says that Beecher confessed
his offense to her; Moulton says he
confessed to him. She testi6es to
long talks with Mr.. Beecher on this
interesting subject; Moulton testifies
to like interviews. She says that
Beeeher told her she was the friend
exceptional, particular, and the one
altogether lovely; while her husband
asserts the same thing. with only a
change from Mrs. to Mr.. Her evil
dence for the prosecution Is simply
cumulative, only Strengthening at best
what her husband had said before her:
but she let slip one or two admissions
in her cross-examinatIon which We
have not heard the last of. we fancy.
She admitted going to Mrs. Woodhull's
house repeatedly, sometimes alone,
sometimes with Mr.. Tilton-an act
that no woman of reputation should
have been guilty Of She admits call
ing Mr.. Tilton a villain, and saying to
him that he would yet betray her hus-
band as he had betrayed Mr.. Beecher.
She tells us that she talked with Mr..
Beecher about his crime. discussed
the relative guilt of man and woman
in such cases, gave her own opinions
thereon, kissed Mr. Beecher while
alone with him. called him that good

fense. is by no means great; but if she
did. or if she supposed she was doing
so, the discussion would very naturally
be eouched in such language as to
give a mistaken idea of each party,
especially if one of them had been
previously informed that adultery was
the offense charged, while the other
supposed that an unwarranted inter-
course OF another character was re-
ferred to. We do not think we are
misled in saying that Mrs Moulton's
testimony is not of the highest char
acter, or in predicting that whatever
force there may be In it will be largely
neutralized by the evidence to be sub

restoration of the income tax. leyying
. tax Of three per cent. on all incomes

An eminently just messure-so just, in
fact, that we have little hope of its
running the parliamentary gauntlet
and becoming a law No other tax
falls so directly on property, and on
those best able to pay, as the income
tax. It il easily collected, is subject
to few drawbacks, aud goes directly
into the treasury. 1t is recognized
principle of English craftsmanship
that the income tax is one Of the most
legitimate sources of revenue. as COM

The Indianapolis correspondent of
the CINCINNATI Gazette pays the fol-
lowing compliment to Lieutenant
Governor Sexton:
As a presiding officer, Lieutenant
Gov. Sexton is just the man to preside
over such Senate. A body of urbane
gentlemen want a courteous, genial,
aud accurate presiding officer. who
has great personal dignity. who can
command the respect of men, and, If
need be, can control a set Of excited
dcbaters and bitter partisans, by as
firm a hand and in as just manner
as a general commands an army. Ger
tainly the Senate of Indiana has such
q man in Lieutenant Governor Sex
ton. lie speaks easily, rapidly. and
accurately; decides quickly and cor
rectly, and maintains the dignity of
the chair at all times without effort.
I have yet to hear any fault found
with his decisions or with his treat
ment of any member. In his rulings
he is blind to the existence of parties,
and dispenses his ''recognitions with
out regard to a Senator's political.
mental, social, or financial effort.
As speaker he is ready and witty.
However quickly or unexpectedly a
question is sprung upon him, he is
prompt to respond. At the late ban

elect Mcdonald, he made the happiest
