The New York World is still striv-

.contrived to reverse the situation in
New Hampshire. 1t gives sundry and
divers reasons, but omits the true one
viz: That the Republicans are in the

foolish quarrels which lost them the
State year ago. By next year the
reconciliation is likely to be completed

The Beecher Trial.

The tagging interest in the Beecher trial
was somewhat revived on Tuesday by the
recall of Theodore Tilton to the witness
stand. He squarely contradicted the testi-
mony of Mr.. Beecher, Bessie Turner and
others in several essential particulars.
Witnesses baS also been called In rebuff
tai tending to break down the attempt of
the defence to prove an alibi for Mr.. Beech
er on the day when Mrs. Moulton says she
covered him up with an afghan and he
made a confession to her and threatened to
commit suicide.
The event of Wednesday was the appear
ance of the Woodruff, in answer TO sub
pena from Beechers lawyers, directing
her to bring all letters that had passed be-
tween Tilton and herself, and any other
documents she might have relating TO the
trial. After some controversy the letters
were handed over, and were examined by
Mr.. Beocher's lawyers, but they apparent
ly proved to BIO of no consequence. MOul-
ton was recalled and contradicted much of
Mr.. Beecher's testimony, as we'll as that of
other witnesses for the defence. The plain
lifts counsel announced that the rebutting
testimony was closed, and the evidence in
sub-rebuttal Immediately begun with the
recall of James Freeland to contradict
Bowen's testimony. Before the adjourn
ment Mr.. Evarts had announced that the de-
Tense had only few more witnesses to call,
and that their testimony will not take
long. 1t is expected that all the testimony
will he got in this week. There is still
some talk of weeks vacation before the
closing speeches.

The Republicans Libel Suit.

The libel suit brought by Willis Phelps
against the Springfield Republican, claim
ing 100000 damages for the alleged libel
Gus articles published during a recent To-
cal election in which certain railroad in
terests were involved, was decided on
Wednesday, by Judge Endicott of the SUI
preme Court, after seven days hearing,
the verdict being for the plaintiff, and the
amount of damages 500, which does not
carry costs against the defendant, as would
be the case If the damages were assessed al
over $500. Judge Endicott's decision of
the case proves to be unsatisfactory to both
the plaintiff and the defendant. To the
former because the damages are placed at
80 small sum afler express malice was
found in the case, and to the latter because
the verdict was not unqualiedly in Mr..
Bowles' favor. The counsel upon both
sides have already given notice to the
Judge that they will file exceptions. The
Republican claims the "moral verdict" in
the case, and takes the occasion to sound
its own heightened praise for the valiant
fight which 1t has made for the people, who
would all go TO the dogs if it was not for its
vigilant, watchful care. Now we know
but little about Mr.. Phelps and the Spring.
field railroad and political rings. A great
deal of corruption of ono kind and another
was developed at the trial, and the Repub-
lican may have done a good service in
breaking it up. But so frequently il its
abuse heaped upon men in public and pri-
vate life without cause, so many charac-
ters that are pure, high and noble are he
smeared and blackened through its col
umns, for the sake of sensational reading
for its patrons, that people hereabouts
have felt little sympathy with the Phelps
side of the case, and wouldn't mind il the
Republican did get mild chaslisement it
it could thus be taught to have some regard
for decency and the truth Greenfe'd Ga
