ELI Perkins Speaks.

Eli Perkins writes as follows to the
Chicago Journal:
Theodore Tilton looked upon himself
rs giant and his wife as pigmy. He
never consulted her about literary mat
ers, told her frankly that he was ashamed
of her, and that he was married to per-
son beneath him in intellect. Mr..
Beecher, on the contrary, old me that
he found in Mrs. Tilton woman of ge-
MUS. When / asked him to explain in
what way Mrs. Tilton was remarkable,
Mr.. Beecher replied
"Why, sometimes she had as good
judgment in question as the ripest
Judge on the bench. She could be as
learned as a Judge one moment, and the
next moment giggling girl. She once
wrote an opinion on a grave question
the Byron disclosure-which so enlisted
my attention that Tread it to good many
friends, and finally l sent it to sister
Har1iei | have read literary passages
to her many time, III which she sug-
gested the wisest and most subtle
changes"
But, to go on with the story. Mr..
Bowen, of Brooklyn, told me that once,
dlleI IillOu luu TcJlIHeu from IL lecture
tour, he was belittling his wife, saying
she was mediocre woman and not fit
companion of man of his intellectual
culture, when the little woman, goaded
by his innuendoes to retaliate, ex-
claimed
"You may not think me worthy of
your love, Theodore, but l know bet
ter man than you, grander and more dis
tinglished, who does love me-.
Yes, it's that Beecher !" Kissed out
Tilton, as he took his hat, and uncere-
moniously left his wife.
Z" 1t was that unguarded boast" said
Mr.. Bowen, (Which the outraged wife
let out to punish her husband, which
reused Tilton's jealousy and suspicion
against Beecher.
From that time on Theodore Tilton
had but one idea-a hatred of Beecher-
a jealousy, insane and morbid, which de-
voured him night and day.

Beecher's Dread of Beach.


New York Correspondence Rochester Democrat. ]
Beecher, "a it is now admitted, should
have retained Beach at any expense. All
who know the power of the man expect
that his invective on the defendant will
be the most cruel thing perpetrated in
any court of the world. There are hun
dreds who would give ten lollars to hear
Beach spread himself. The case will
conclude with an avalanche of annihila-
ting power. 1t is said that Beecher breads
Beach more than any other element in the
case. He had an intimation of the lat
ler's incisive style in few minutes
speech, which thrilled the audience like
a stroke of lightning. This plainly sug-
gests the terrors that are in store. Beach
and Beecher are much alike in character,
and are almost equal in age, in stature,
and in weight. Had Beach been q
preacher he would have rivaled the ora
tor of Plymouth church in mercurial wit,
brilliance of thought, and originality of
expression. On the other hand, if Beecher
had been lawyer he would have been
noted for that versatility of language,
that pictorial display of words and ideas,
that commingling of law with wit, satire,
and scathing denunciation, and that flex-
IDLE and majestic utterance which mark
the famous advocate. As the case now
stands it is one Beecher let loose on an
other. AS a gentleman calmly remarked,
" Sir, Beecher has always been his own
worst enemy. His free and easy pulpit
style and his general display of what is
called Beecherism have continually in
jured him, and now he is obliged to meet
not only their damaging influence, but he
Is also to take the punishment as it
were his own self" Another man re-
marked, CT would rather have all the
lawyers in America against me than
Beach" During six weeks Beecher has
seen this antagonist, like huge ana
conda, calmly waiting the proper mo-
ment to crush and swallow him. For this
reason it is now apparent that the great
blunder in the case was the omisson on
the part of the defense to retain this legal

SENATOR SCHURZS SPEECH.

The speech of the Hon. Carl Schurz in the
Senate yesterday on the Louisiana outrage
published in full in this paper-is one of that
gentleman's best efforts. Beginning with a
calm and impartial statement of the admitted
facts in the history of the case no proceeded
to show that upon these facts the President
had been guilty of a fragrant violation of the
plainest requirements of the Constitution, and
an unjustifiable and inexcusable interference
with "the life-element Of republican freedom
the right of local self-government. Anticipat-
ing every possible argument by which the
friends of the President might undertake his
defense, he demolished them all in advance
and left them without the shadow of an ex-
cuse to be offered in the Presidents behalf.
This was made almost painfully apparent
when the leading Senator on the Administra-
ton side arose to reply and found himself
fairly driven back upon are-hash of the stale
outrage talk of the last campaign.
Mr. Schurz has omitted nothing in this
mastery and complete presentation of the his
tory of the case and the argument upon it.
His analysis of the situation at the South at
the close OF the war Is searching and the pic
ture presented is vivid and truthful. The
two lines Of policy which were open to the
General Government in its treatment of these
States are pointed out, and the logical conse-
quences which followed the adoption of one
of them are carefully traced in their effect
upon the people and the institutions of the
South, and upon the character which they
fixed upon the Administration and its sup
porters. The warning to Senators with
which he follows this is neither VIC:
lent nor deciamatory. He had simply
recited history; narrated events and traced
their consequences. The warning was for the
Senate Of the United States, and no had only
to indicate the direction In which the party
and the country were travelling by pointing
backward at the way marks Of nine years.
progress.
The nonsense and rubbish about intimida.
ton which form the whole staple of the de-
ferse Mr.. Schurz swept away in few words.
The sincerity Of the men who make 80 great
an outcrv about the intimidation of colored
voters by threatening to discharge them if
they voted the Radical ticket, was illustrated
by their action toward Government employees,
who are habitually forbidden to vote against
the Administration on pain Of loss of place.
This is intimidation ON grand scale, and tho

THE INTERCOLLEGIATE FELLOWSHIP
EUND

The plan for broadening the Intercollegiate
contest next year seems in no danger OF Ian
gushing for lack of funds. The Standing
Committee appointed at IIartfOrl-Messrs. W.
d. Edmonds, C.. b. IIubbell, j. Ii. Lindley, and
j. C. Tomlinson-have paid all bills connected
with the late contest, and are able to report
balance in the treasury of 1914 rs. They were
instructed by the last convention to appoint
Trustees to take charge of all moneys for
next years contest, and for the proposed Fell
bwship Fund of the Association. They have
chosen number of prominent gentlemen to
act in this capacity. Two have already ac-
cepted, and as soon as tho number Is com
plete the money will be turned over to them.
The Committee have also had the great
pleasure and encouragement of receiving as
basis for the Fellowship Fund for next year.
a contribution of $500 from Mrs. joan Taylo.
Johnston.
1t only remains now to secure for the future
az discreet management as the late effort has
shown to make the intercollegiate contest
permanent and most beneficial feature OF our
college life-the beginning, as Chancellor
Howard Crosby is said to have described II.
of a real American University.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-01-12
THE ESSENTIAL FACTS.

The unconditional defenders of the Presi-
dent have gathered their scattered wits to-
s sG:h997 during the last day or two, and now
begin to insist that we must wait for all the
facts in the case before we withdraw our con-
Sheridan. They say there are points in tho
situation of things in Louisiana, in the action
of Speaker Witt, and the orders of Gen.
Emory, which if known would explain many
things which now have an equiyocal look.
All this is darkening counsel with words
The only facts essential are these: The
United States Army interfered in the organi-
zation of the Louisiana Legislature, and
elected some half dozen members from that
body. Gen. Sheridan reports and justifes
that action. The Secretary of War telegraphs
the Presidents full approval. If there were
no other facts than these, this Administration
is hopelessly discredited before the American
people. These acts cannot be explained.
They are, in the eye of constitutional law
and tradition, objectionable. There can be
no excuse for this interference with State
Legislature in time of peace. The politics
of the legislators, the genuineness of their
election, the behavior Of Speaker Wilt, are
all as foreign to the case as the song the
syrens sang. The act of the military was
illegal, and cannot be made anything else.
1t taints with its own inherent vice every one
who ordered 1t, and every one who officially
approves it
1t would not be necessary 10 add anything
to this offense to give the present Administra-
ton its proper place before public opinion.
But it seemed determined to show what
luxury of provocatlon it could give to the
country. After this unheard-o of outrage against
tho Legislature, Gen. Sheridan sends q
dispatch to Washington denouncing the COM
munity where he is stationed as composed of
muyderers and assassins. and requests tho
