the 18th in accordance with an elaborate
programme. The President and Vice

their presence to the patriotic occasion,
while mighty crowds, only limited in
size by their ability to reach the historic
scenes, participated in the memorial eel
cbrstion. The extreme cold weather had
the effect to interfere somewhat with the
complete fulfIlment of the contemplated
order of procedure but nevertheless
the joint centennial was magnificent
success.

The BROOKLYN TRIAL was resumed
on Monday. after four days recess. Tha
parties no doubt had their strength re-
sumed, and spirits refreshed, as they seem
to have returned with vigor and earnest
ness TO the struggle. Mr.. Fullerton's
manner betrayed intensity, and during
the day this intensity Of feeling rather got
the better Of his usual suaviiy and self
possession. This only shows that he IS
terribly in earnest, aad that this earnest
ness springs from a conviction, that
there are important matters kept back
Mr.. Beecher continues to exhibit consum-
mate skill in parryIng the savage thrusts
of his inquistor, by the aid of prompt
explanation or defective memory, using
both as weapons of defense, and with
skill which bids fair to battle his adyer
sary in the end. True, the explanations
are prone TO be more prompt than plausi-
bic, and now and then has a disingenu-
usness which is favored with secretive
ness rather than candor. and the Obliga-
tions of his oath seem to rest very
easily and comfortably upon his con-
science. His bearing continues to re-
mind US of what Mrs. Moulton's conver-
salion with him deYeloped-''that he
would not confess-he would die first"
His power of resisting the assaults Of the
cross-examination, either by his ready
explanations or a convenient failure of
memory, shows him to be pretty even
match for his catechissr. There is one
feature of his bearing, that is especially
noteworthy, and that is the effect of his
wholesale denials, and adroIt explana-
tons, upon the public mind. They do
NOT carry credence and probability with
them. They are not believed. and the Sc
rious load of guilt winch necessarily fol-
lows, only aggravates hIs situation and
strengthens the public conviction gainst
him. Sal sIH i5i a1
Tuesdays proceedings were decidedly
lively and noticeable, Beecher showed
himself Fullerton's equal in repartee. The
blackmail question pshned out rather
rich. The senior counsel was rewarded
with some measures of success in his at
tempts to worm out damaging admissions.
1t transpired that Mr. Beecher adopted
the the ory of blackmail at the instigation
of his lawyers, whe, he says, drilled him
up TO the point OF making an allegation
which he did not then, and does not now,
believe to be true. Mr.. Beecher further
stated that the charge of blackmsll was
advised by members Of the Plymouth
Investigating Committee, with whom he
conferred as to the character of his defense
before the investigation began, and who
thus served their pastor in the dual ca
pacity of counselors and judges.

It is not little singular that such pa
| pers as the Cleveland Herald should al
low itself to be an instrument ofgiVing
the third-term tOm-foolery currency and
respectability. The New York Herald
has abandoned this sensation OF its own
begetting, and treats the whole thing as
an absurdity, which like the animal sto-
ry, was gotten up for the time, but IS
n ow left 10 die in the leYity that 1t excl
ted, and the absurdity SO generally ap-
parent The following is the shape in
VIII Ich the Herald puts 1t. The criticism
ofthe Chicago Times is well merited
In number of instances, gentlemen
supposed 10 be near the President have
declared he does not seek third term,
but In every instance II has been pro-
claimed, after such avowal, that no one
has right to speak for the President.
The consequence is, 1t has come to be
very generally believed that the Presi-
does seek third term. ALI the affecta-

desire third term, and that the official
and personal friends of the Presi dent are
working for that end --l
