bsnditti and punished by court martial.
The following resolutions were adopted
by acclamation, with great applause;
ResoIred, That the merchants and
citizens generally Of st. Louis, IN
mass meeting assembled, hereby express
their unqualified and indignant dIsap-
proval aud condemnation of the recent
action of the Federal Executive in the
seton of the State of Louisiana; that

ings are not merely subversive of vital

United to be made a prcteYt for using

gate the authority of loyal State, to dis
/ solve lts Legislature andignore its sacred

The Beecher-TiIton Action-Cass
Opened.

New YORK, January 1.-THE Gus
tomsry crowd attended the Beecher trial
to-day, both plaintiff and defendant being
present. Some delay was caused by the
absence of juror, but upon his arrival
the case was 1T once opened for the pros
scution, by eI-Judge Samuel ID. Morris.
Beecher entered the Court, accompan-
led by Mrs. Beecher and one Of their
sons.
Mr.. Morris, in hi. arguments, said this
was no ordinary contest between two litI-
lgsnt. TO determine the right Of property,
or even personal liberty-it was = case
more for reaching It's consequence, than
any ever before tried in this country.
There was not u home in this broad
land, nor in al christendom, which WAS
not interested in its results. The home,
the marriage relation, and all that
was dear III that relation, WAS concerned
in this case. The plaintiff, in the course
OF the trial proposed TO produce as au-
thority for the charges, no less person
than the defendant himself.
The Court took the usual recess, Mr..
Morris will resume after re-asSembhng.
