Q-What do you recollect? A am
not very sure that he asked that, but /
have an impression that he asked me;
there WAS only single syllable as il
were; said I thought l would go home
Q-And if he asked, that you respond,
ed to him? A-Yes, sir; that is my i'm
preston.
Q-And that you would go home;
what was then said or done by Moulton
Ale rose and said he would see me
home again.
Odd you suggest that he sould go
with you? A-NO, sir.
Odd he attend you to your house?
Ale did.
Odd anything pass between you
and him on the way? A-There was
some conversation; cannot repeat it
very accurately, for was not in Il mood
to think of anything else except central
matters, but there was some conversation
between him and me; think the letters
were mentioned that Tilton gave to me;
| believe something was SAID of Bowen 5
conduct toward TiltOn; ] think MoutOn
spoke pretty much all the way down and
| answered him in monosyllables.
After Recess
the examination of Mr.. Beecher contin-
ucd.
Q.-Mr. Beccher, on the night Of the
3Oth of December, which we have gone
over, wish to ask you some questions a
to what has been stated by other witness
cs. Moulton has testified that you asked
him on this night if he had seen Eliza
beths confession. Did you ask Moulton
that question? Al did not.
Q-No question Of similar import?
A.-No sir.
Q-Nothing on the subject? A
No sir, nothing
Odd Moulton ask you such sues-
ton? A. There was nothing said to
me about it.
Q.-Was any thing said by him to you
or you to him, about any confession OF
Mrs. TiIton? A.-No sir.
Odd you on that night, in conver-
sation with Moulton, ut any part Of the
evening use any such expression as this,
1t will kill me? Al don't recollect any
such, but might have done it.
Odd you tell Moulton that Theo-
dorc Tilton had given you permission to
90 to Elizabeth and have conversation
on the subject? Al did not.
Q-On that subject, was anything said
By Moulton to you, or by yourself to
Moulton on the subject of sexuel inter
corse between YOU and Mrs. TiltOn? 4
No sir! no, sir.
q Was there anything said concern
ing any confession Of sexual intercourse
between you and Mrs. TiIton? A.-No
sir. not aword.
Q-On that night did any one speak
to YOU Of, or did you speak to any one of
the subject Of the fact of sexual ter
course between Mrs. Tilton ana yourself?
A.-No sir, no sir Its so loathsome and
odious that don think about it.
Q.-What night Mr. Beecher did you
use any such expression or make any
such observation to Mr.. Moulton as this;
that this came upon you as if struck by
lightning? Al may have. My i'm
preston is that that is phrase | used on
the first Of January, but it may have
been on that night.
Odd you on this night ask Moulton
to be friend to you? A-No, sir; did
not.
Q-When next did you see MOulton
or Tilton. Al did not see Tilton again
that remember until the 81 of July.

Early in the evening.

William Pitt Kellogg at the front again
Perhaps some of our readers have heard of
him. He is the man that Durell made
governor, the president sustained as such,
and that the senate of the United States re-
manned in extra session for several days to
not enter into compromise, by which
Louisiana should have rightful and legal
Legislature, until he had received pledge
that he should not be impeached. Not that
he had done anything worthy of impeach-
ment, as he claimed, but he was so obnox-
ious to the people of Louisiana that he did
not know to what lengths the acerbties of
politics might carry the legislature. and he
wanted to be safe. Our quondam Yer
mOnter was shrewder than he had credit
for, when he was hedging against impeach-
ment. His own acts would not down at
his bidding, and these, not partisan bitter
ness, he feared. The explosion has come
sooner than was expected, and his late po-
litical associates and bosom friends are his
accusers. The general appropriation bill,
which purported to have passed the legls-
lature. has been signed by Kellogg as gov
ernor, and published, but Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Antoine, "Speaker" Hahn and the
chairman of the finance committee, in a
letter to the secretary of state, denounce
the sign0 hill "as gross, unwarrantable
"and criminal forgery, and not the act
certified and signed by them" The yir-

IN THE CONSTITUTION,

That oppressive tribunal, the supreme
court of the United States, has dashed the
aspirations of the sisters. Some time ago,
it decided that the fourteenth amendment
to the national constitution did not. neces-
sarily, allow man to kill hogs or in the
case of our Vermont sister, Myra Bardwell,
of woman practicing law. Now, con-
tinuing the oppressive precedents, it says
that the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments do not confer the right of suffrage
on woman. Surely the sisters have no
rights which man is bound to respect, save
the right of paying taxes, and with that
right man will never intertere--they may
rest assured of that. The colored man and
brother is not quite 80 bad off as that, for
he can vote-but the doctrine of compensa-
ton comes in here, for he can be a member
of the legislature or of congress. We dare
not contemplate the length of audacity to
which this supreme court may go. The
first we know, it will be overruling the de-
csion of that as(s)tutc--we almost left off
the "tute" and got in an extra "s"-and ju-
dicial Ludlow of Philadelphia, and declar-
| ing that religious tests shall not be required
| for citizenship, and that even infidels can
vote. Ludlow finds "God in the constitu-
ton Strong, of the supreme court, don't,
| neither does he, or his associates, find
any females therc-and we opine that they
are not as anxious to make the latter dis
covery as Strong is the former-and they
| ought to be ashamed of themselves for their
want OF galantry. For why should the
constitution stand in the way OF gallantry !!
And this leads us to remark, that the court
is establishing, or re-establishing, danger
| GUS precedent-that is, it would be danger
| Gus, if it was not SO absurd. The idea has
become so obsolete, that it excites a smile
| of derison for anyone to seriously claim
that the constitution is of any binding
! force, that congress and state legislatures,
in making laws, must respect Its provisions
or render their laws invalid, and that the
national government is one of limited
| powers, and those powers derived from,
| and limited by, the organic law. Yet this
is just what the supreme court says-and
what will congress do But seriously, the
supreme court has made a very sensible de-
cision, and have set at rest the claim that
women are entitled to suffrage under the
constitutional amendments. The conrt
holds that females are now and always have
been citizens, but that the prohibition OF
states from denying or abridging the right
of citizens to vote does not compel them to
allow females to vote, any more than il
does minors and that the right of suf-
frage is not one of the privileges or i'm.
munities of citizens of the United States
mentioned in the fourteenth amendment.
The conclusion, in which the Judges were
| unanimous, is "that the constitution of the
Z" United States does not confer the right
of suffrage upon anyone, and that the
" constitutions of the several states which
" commit that trust to men alone are moi
necessarily void"
