became overspread with a you'll gloom, as OF one
who mad long bided his time tor a terrible revenge,
and now the moment had arrived.
THE FIRST QUESTION
/ going 70 the Impeachment OF Beecner was whether
Il the defendant ever did speak TO him (Bowenl 10
iBauence aim In discnarglng TllIon from his en-
ployment AFTER q short sharp wrange, me answer
was given, Never" and some sensation followed.
/ TIE defendants lawyers were all aeog Even ex-
Judge Porter felt his spirits stIrred and hoped
around as lively as sherman himself who When
not Ia tears, is brisk as bird. Mrs. Beesher put
her glasses on and took notes. Triton was pale
with anxiety, Moulton perspired prolusely, ana
eall hands, were considerably walked up. Alter
the witness had begun TO relate MS Interview
WIN Beecaer the nigat the famous note was de-
nyered. calling on MIN TO abandon his pulpit,
opinions began TO grow confused, and for mo-
ment the thought was uppermost IN many minds
that Bowen would turn out witness Tor Beecher.
MISLEADING OPINION.
I Tns deiusion was, however, yerf soon dispelled,
for SHORTLY after the witness contradicted
Beecher's testimony IN several points. lie was
asked irhe received a letter from Beecner in jan
uary 1871 Il think have,n was the answer,
that revealed the caution Of the witness, for ne
pulled out about the same moment the letter 10
question, winch proved to be the original draft 81
the tripartite covenant IL was not hazard wit
ness lie had all the papers bearing on the case
4 neatly folded, and promptly drew forth which
II ever one was called. The defence commended tnat
4 the award or $1,000 given to Tilton by Bowen was
4 extorted by threat 20 publish the scandal
4 Bowen swore tnat the arbitration mad nothing 70
do WITH Mr.. Beecheys anars. These affairs were
4 mentioned neither IN words nor IN writing.
Bowen mas fallen
LIKE BoMBsHELL
in the Beecher camp. lie mas much more 70 tell
HIS voice not IN his favor. HIS manners, II Is
said, are cold and repeLing, but in hls behalf people
declare ;nat he Is a KIND. liberal ana consderate
employer, faithful to his friends and unytedng TO
his enemies. Evarts fought good persistent
light for the day, ana eyerJ inch Of ground was
vlgiIantly contested.
RECALLING HIMsELP on OYSTERS.
Mr.. Beecher was absent all day. but good Tvs
or MS health ana spirits was received, and the
fears OF his friends, II any, speedily allayed.
lie was seen about noon IN the Custom House,
using pepper and salt on his oysters and turn
Ing empty shells by the dozen. lie was IN
me hum0r, anybody may infer from the taste
he showed Tor oysters gu the hall shell, which
are only for the gay and festive.
