The I1ItOn- BeecheT Case IN Court.

} BROOKLYN. N. Y, Jan. 6.-The panel
Of five hundred persons summoned for
the Beecher-Tilton case packed the City
Court Room to-day. Tilton and Moul-
ton were both present with full array
!of counsel; also, Mr.. Beecher, with Ray
mond, and counsel, Shearman, Tracy
and Hall. .-" e..
! Mr.. Beecher's counsel began the argu-
ment, claiming that the trial was actual
ny on before Judge McCue, and quoting
precedents in support of his claim.
Tracy, also for Beecher, followed, deny
ing Judge McCue's power to transfer
the case to another Court. Mr.. Tilton's
counsel were surprised at this applica-
itiou by Beeche's counsel, and said. it
was perfectly well understood that the
trial was to take place before Judge
Nelson.
/, Mr.. Evarts, for Beecher replied citing
precedents.. Judges McCue, Reynolds
and Nelson, consulted together, and told
the counsel they would render decision
this afternoon. If the decision be against
Beecher, he will appeal to the Supreme
Court, thus postponing the case until
February.

Tarce7tseS.

John Miller and Lewis Berkley were
arraigned in the Police Court this morn
ing, charged with stealing sixteen loaves
of bread, worth sixty-four CENTS. from
Dan. j. Smith. Miller entered a plea of
guilty and exonerated Berkley from all
Completely in the crime. His Honor ac-
cordingly rewarded Miller. with a SEN
tence Of thirty days, and dismissed Berk-
ley. An apparently weak-minded youth
named John Prizes was arraigned, and
stood charged with stealing lot OF gro
ceries from one Il. Roetken. In the tes.
timony it appeared that Prizes was sub
ject at times to attacks of insanity; that
on the night when the things above de-
nominated were stolen this was espe-
cially the case, or even more so than
usual. He was under the influence OF
liquor, which tended to aggravate these
attacks. The Court, before hearing the
whole Of the evidence, claimed a conyic.
tion, and, in passing sentence, stated
that under the circumstances he would
impose a fine Of 500.

This. Board met in regular session, o
quorum being present.
Bills from the Board of County Com
missioners amounting to about $11, 900,
including stationery for the different
county Offices during the year and for
the county printing, were approved. :.
The Board then took up the appoint
ments made by the Commissioners at
their meeting yesterday. Mr.. Safer was
against the appointment Of certain par
ties, and the action Of the Board seems
to have been controlled by Mr.. Sater's
action, as on each appointment made
without his consent the Board either re-
fused to take positive action or rejected
the appointment. The following is the
slate as 1t now stands:
The appointment of Frank sArmstrong
for Courthouse Superintendent was laid
over. The Board approved the action Of
the Commissioners IN appointing Samuel
Bowles County Engineer with the modi'
tication that he be employed by the
month instead of by the year. The fol-
lowing appointments were confirmed

dan, John b. Staebler and Jas. ONeil,
janitors, and Ed. Fitzpatrick, carpenter.
The appointments Of John Ritteman,
Adam Meyer and John Boeckly as watch
men, were laid over for future action,
while that of John Hogan was rejected.

tendent of the grading for the approach
es to Union Bridge. ..
Contracts for furnishing about 1400 Gu
bic yards of material and making the ap-
proaches to several bridges were awar-
ded to different parties at bids ranging
from twenty to twenty-five cents per Gu.

awarding the contract for building a

The Relations Uith Spai,s-About Tha,
MESSAGE.

WASHINGTON, JAN. 5.--The National
Republican of this morning contains the
following semi-official announcements:
"Various rumors are afloat regarding
q change of policy on the part Of this
Government in its relations with Spain.
The simple truth is, that while the ad-
ministration recognized the changed
condition of affairs in that country, and
the fact is public that a Republic no
longer exists there to enlist our sympa-
thies.
The instructions to Minister Gushing
were. from the outset so pOintedly urgent
as regards the Virginius case that they
require no alterations even under the
present circumstances when we are call
ed upon to deal with a Monarchy.
The controversy regarding the garb-
ling of the Presidents message, or that
part of it relating to Cuba, has given
rise to many speculations and rumors
which have no foundation in fact.
Among these is report that the par
ticular portion Of the message alluded to
was changed after the synopsis had been
printed and before the entire document
was sent to Congress. This is most as
suredly untrue.
