From the Tribune report, Mr.. Evarts
pictured the seduction and adultery in
the blackeSt color and dwelt upon the
Nervousness Of the otfenso with which
Beecher was charged, insisting that by
law and justice it should bo proved with
the utmost clearness in order to establish
his guilt. Tilton's conduct In continuing
to live with his wife for several yearS
alter the time Ot the alleged adultery
was strongly condemned.
Near the clOsoOt the afternoon session
Mr.. Evarts began to take up the testimo-
ny Of some Of tho witnesses in, detail.
IN the evidence OF Brashear, one Of tho
plaintiffs witnesses, II Ia sworn that hC
has seen Beecher on Tilton's steps at an
early hour in the morning. The idea that
because Beecher was seen standing at
TiltOn's door at o'clock IN the morning
waiting for tho door to DO opened was
presumptivO evidence Of adultery was
ridiculed with a great deal Of humOF.
The evidence OF Richards, the brother Of
Mrs. Tilton, that he had seen BCeGher with
Mrs, Tilton sitting close together, and
Mrs, Tilton had started cOnfuSedly away
from BeeCher when her brother entered
the room. Evarts pointed out tho al
legged inconsistency between Richards corr
dial greetings to BeeGher and Mrs, Tilton
with tho idea that what be had seen had
led him to suspect that his sister was
guilty Of adultery,

The Third Term Question.

We owere very sorry few days ago to
sec our nelghbors, the Washington county
pa Republicans, at their County Con-
vention, ncglecting to express themselves
on the subject Of the third term issue
Their omission to do 80 gave rise to un-
pleasant apprehensions that they might
be acting under suggestions from the
master spirits who would control the
State Convention that was called to meet
at Lancaster on Wednesday last, How
ever, VT are glad to realize that whatever
was tho motive that actuated the Wash
ington county brethren in keeping silence
on that issue, the State Convention did
not keep silcnCe-not by a good deal
but came square out against any third
term Presidential nomination.
We consider this great victory for the
Republican party throughout the coun-
try. We hope to see it made still great
or victory by the action Of the Republi-
cans Of Ohio at their Convention on the
ID Of ncxt month. With two such great
States as Pennsylvania and Ohio commit
ted against third-tcrmism, the party may
possibly escape that dangerous shoNl in
1877. That ism has already cost the Re-
publican party n great many votes and
would have cost 1t still more in future.
Gen. Grants persistent refusal to say
word discountcnancing the movements
and manipulations on his behalf for a
third term have been dead weight on
the Republican party for year past. And
now, since he would not help the party to
throw of this weight, that was telling so
heavily against it, the next best thing is
for the party to throw him of. In fact,
we rather prefer this latter method, now
that the issue has run as long as It has
without his help to sOtit at rest.

A some what Critical situation in
Chicago.

Within the last few days there has
been an extensive decline in the price Of
wheat, corn and oats in the Chicago
market. This let down was not wholly
unexpected by grain dealers who have
been watching the market close OF late.
They saw that Chicago had taken on too
big load, and was trying to control
prices against natural influences that
must tell against her sooner or later.
There may be times when that city can
holdsOOOO,OOO worth ofgrain on specula-
ton, but not when the reports are as
favorable rs they are now from Europe
From all accounts II would seem that
few wealthy operators in Chicago deter
mined that that city should be the chief
grain depot Of the country. With n view
to controlling tho trade they accumulated
the bulk Of their stock oiccrcnls byshccr
force Of paying the highest price for the
stuff, In the expectation that inasmnch as
they wore the holders they could make
prices to suit themselves. carrying out
this policy, Chicago has increased her
stocks OF tho three principal grains
wheat, corn and oats-from l,4O5,OOC
bushels on the 2lst OF November, 1874, to
s,749,OOObushclso on the 18th otthls month
