| BRooMYN, Feb. 25.-Now that the prosecution
has rested its case, TIC have an excellent oppor-
tunity to take breath, and review the accomplish
ments Of Tilton's ahrewd connselors. Their
plan Of attack has been most artful- They have
not only displayed all the details and corrobora-
tions Of their charge, but, rrel, have prepared
their exposure, in q very large degree, for the
reioindera Of the defense- Not position has
been advanced without regard, not merely to az
gress,on, but also to reinforcement. Their sev-
eral divisions OF evidence remind me Of chain
OF frontler fortresses. each substantial and i'm
pregnable IN itself, but none Of them unproEid-

They have also exhibited q nice Sense ct
DRAMATIC CONSTRUCTION,
though they have had actual recourse to few OF
the theatrical artlflces, which, upon 80 vast =

! reality. Their testimony has been slowly but
completely cumulative, having for it's climax the

raced like mil-stream till he arrived, slackened
as he STAYED, and, blown By the gusts Of CROSS
