HOW THE SCANDAL TRIAL Is
REPORTED FOR THE GREAT

-
The New York correspondent Of
the Boston Globe writes: "The great
trial, of course, continues to engrOss
the public mind and to give the
newspapers as much as they can we'll
take care of. The press Is represented
probably by more reporters than
ever gathered within the walls of a
courtroom before. An actual count
numbered on recent morning six
ty.three members OF the press, not to
speak of many others who might
have passed unrecognized. and the
substitutes who kept up the relays
with which the newspapers have to
work. One Of the evening papers,
for instance, has its managing man ut
the trial on hand for the first five or
ten minutes after the opening at IL
O'Clock. After taking that quantity OF
stenographic notes he gives way to a
second short-h writer, who cakes
for half an hour. BY the end nf this
time the FIRST named has his notes
written out and the second starts
with this copy and his own notes for
the office of New York, where he
feeds the press with his own matter
as fast as he can write it out in con-
tinuation. No. then takes the desk
again for another five or ten minutes,
and is succeeded by third, who
takes notes for about twenty min
utes; and so the work goes on to
the time that the New York evening
par ers have to stop short on the
work. The coup d'etdt of Mr.. Shanks,
city editor OF the Ts.ibune, by which
he secured for his paper full GER
batim report, is the best piece Of gen
eralship in recent journalism. Pre-.
vious to the trial he waited on the
counsel on both sides, and suggest.
ing that they must, of course, EN-.

The Beecher Trial.

New YORK, Feb. Is.
In the Beecher trial this morning.

and questioned by Shearman relative
to his sending off Mrs. Tilton's things

He testified to having told Kate Me

to send several trunks uf his wife's
things to her after she had left. Wit

but could not say he gave them to his

says witness, "she did not find in the

TNDEpEN DENT CRITICISM.

III, accOrulng 10 tne OlcCuIn VI tne
Enterprise, newspaper which dares
to criticise Republican measures must
of necessity be rabidly Democratic,
then is Ha,per's Weekly open to the
charge. We extract the following
from the Weekly of February 9th:
"The significance of the Autumn
elections is perfectly well understood.
1t was not business depression it
was Republican disgust and dissatis-
faction with Republican mismanage-
inent, and nothing is palmer than
that the continuance of that misman-
agement will totally destroy the par
ty. Is there any change7 Is there
any prospect Of change? Mr.. Howe
and MIR. Logan say that they will go
down with the ship. Yes; but it is
one thing for a sailor to sink with
his ship in storm upon lee shore,
and quite another to go down is still
water with ship that he has scuttled.
Have the proceedings in Louisiana
been Of a kind to restore confidence
to doubling Republicans, or is it held
that doubling Republicans are to be
summarily shot as Democrats in
disguise? :" In an other place it says
that liberty and justice "are mortal
ly wounded by thick and thin sup
port as Republican partisans of what
we condemn as citizens and men,"
When newspaper has become so
completely partisan that it is incapa-
BILE of freely commenting on the oc
currences of the day, without al
ways remembering that it belongs ex
clusively to one side and must scrape
and bow before its masters, ITS opin-
ions carry very little weight. Har-
pe,'s Weekly, If it is strongly Repub-
alican, does not belong to this short
sighted class. alp5M
STATE PRISON INVESTIGATION.
1t will have been noted that a joint
committee of both Houses is conduct
ing an investigation into the affairs of
the State Prison. 1t has been charged
that P. C. Hyman, the Warden, is
guilty Of misappropriation of funds,
and Of undue intimacy with Mollie
Forshay, and that the Board OF Prison
Commissioners is charged with neglect
Of duty in the matter. Our readers
will remember rumor that was cur
rent nearly two years ago concerning
the second charge against the Warden.
/. We also heard, early last Fall, faint
whispers of a deficiency in the ex-
pense department. Having as yet no
evidence, we know nothing of the
merits of any of the charges, and we
sincerely trust that all parties whose
conduct is to be inquired into may es-
tablish beyond peradventure an un-
sullied record. We also trust that the
investigation may be thorough, and
that If guilt be established against any
official, his punishment may follow so
swiftly and severely as to deter any
office-holder in the future from filling
his own pockets and soiling the fair
fame of our State. And for Heavens
sake don't let us have any more bills
for the relief of bondsmen.

The Senatorial Election in West

Capital Senatorial Election
Ia Minnesota.
CHICAGO, Feb. Is.
The election of Caperton as Senator
from West Virginia, yesterday, is said
to be the result of a compromise De-
tween the friends and opponents OF the
capital removal, the southern and east
ern portion of the State being concili-
ated for the removal of the capital to
Wheeling by giving them the Senator
ship.
In the Minnesota Legislature yester-
day, Cochren (Dem.) increased his
total vote by two Independent Repub-
lican, who, it is said, were won over by
a letter from Cochren defining his po-

convention, and in which, while favor
ing the resumption of specie payments
as soon as practicable and tariff for
revenue only, he avows himself a
strong nationalist.
