MRS. TrLroN,s LETTER.


NEw YogK, May 4.-The Brooklyn
Eagle furnishes the following copy of
Mrs. Tilton's letter:
BRooKLYS, May 3, 1875.
To Judge Nelson: ash the privilege
from you for few words in my own be-
half. feel very deeply the injustice of
my position in the law and before the
Court now sitting. and while have I'M
derstood and expected from the begin.
ming. Mr.. Evart's principles in the mat
ter, yet since your last decision, 1 have
been 50 sensible OF the power of my
enemies that my soul cries out before
you and the gentlemen Of the jury, that
they beware how, by divided verdict,
they consigu to my children false
and irfstrievable stain. upon their
mother. For five years past, have
been victim of circumstances most
cruel and unfortunate, struggling from
time to time only for place to live hon.
orably and truthfully, released for some
months from the will by whose power
unconsciously criminated myself again
and again. declare solemnly before
you. without fear of man and with faith
10 God, that I am innocent Of the crime
charged against me. would like to tell
my whole sad story. and truthfully to
acknowledge the frequent falsehoods
which were wrung from me by compul-
sion, though at the same time unwilling
to reveal the secret OF my married life.
which only the vital importance of my
position makes necessary. assume the
entire responsibility OF this request, un-
known to friend or counsel on either
side, and await your honor's honorable
decision. With great respect,
ELIZABETH r. TILToN.
THE JUDGES REPLY.
Mns. TILroN: I am directed by Chief
Judge Nelson to return your letter, as 1t
cannot be read in Court. also to state
that in civil cases, counsel have the RICH,
to refrain from calling a particular wit
ness, however competent, and tina
neither Court nor client can interior,
with the exercise of that right. The judg'
also instructs me 10 say that the question
whether you could be o witness, stand
on quite another ground from that to b
considered when your husband was calles
and sworn. He was q competent witness
to testify in his behalf against thirt
!, person defendant, and while the polio,
OF the law was to some extent involved
there was no express statute in the way
but the statute of May Goth. 1867. ex
pressly declares wife to be incompetent
as q witness either for or against her hus
band. Yours very respectfully,
GEO. W. KNAEBEI.

NEWS.

The fellow who collects news Tor the
use Of the press ought to be spanked or
else be compelled to serve as juryman on
the Beecher trial. or accept Mrs. Morse
as a mother-in-law, or anything in which
he would suffer very purgatory. The
wretch is careful to telegraph to every
paper in the country the amount Of bull
lion that goes in or out OF the Bank of
England, and to state the proportion that
the liabilities OF that institution bears to
the gold and silver within its vaults.
Now. we should like to know what the
condition of the financial health Of the
Old Lady in Threadneedlc street is to
the average newspaper reader in these
United States. He does not care but.
ton about such intelligence. Yet, day
after day, the dispatches are loaded with
matters that interest no one. while intel
ligence that would be useful is carefully
suppressed. Another habit, is inform.
ing thousands Of readers Of the death or
illness Of some one, who may be of i'm.
portance in some locality or q certain
circle, but beyond that nobody knows OF
cares about. Thus. day after day, one
is kept au courant as to the progress Of
an attack of vertigo from which the
President of the Rock Island Railroad il
suffering. Doubtless that gentleman is
very worthy citizen, but, as Major
Pendennis says, who the "dooss" cares
whether he has the vertigo or not. Sc
it goes; the Darwinian order of selection
is reversed-the best is left behind and
worst preserved. Old Weller said tina,
when q man became misanthropical ant
wanted to take vengeance upon his fol
low man, he took to keeping turnpike
toll-gate. In these days we think tn
same class become news collectors TO
the associated press.

THE END APPROACHES.

Yes, thank God, it is rapidly approach
ing. There is an end to all things, even
Of the Beecher trial Yesterday Evarts
announced the delightful and much to
be desired fact that the Tilton-Beecher
trial would shortly terminate. The jurors,
unhappy wretches that they are, will Of
course value and appreciate this intelli'
gence more highly than any one else.
But the outside world will rejoice and
rejoice greatly. Readers and makers of
newspapers will shortly be relieved from
the frighful incubus of that apparently
interminable trial which has been sitting
like frightful nightmare upon the pages
of the public press for months. When
these nasty free lovers began to squabble
they bombarded the public with state
ments and committees and Investigations
until ones very soul was sick and then
followed this pestilential trial that would
never down, and was US frightful to en-
counter as Bulwer's "Dweller Of the
Household" But Heaven be praised,
the thing shapeless and horrible rs the
Bard Of Knebworth's spectre. is letting
loose its hold. 1t is growing DINNER
fainter and is relaxing its grip and in q
few more days will be thing Of the past
What an inexpressible relief it will be to
take up the press dispatches and not find
those satanic works: I'm the Beeche,
trial to-day" &c. &c.,-it will be as grea
deliverance, as coming into the sweet
fresh, pure air was to the unhappy in
mates of the Black Hole OF Calcutta
The public would forgive Beecher, Tiltoi
and the balance Of them for any OF thei
piccadilloes, but for boring the commu
nifty to death, never.

Mrs. TILToN.-In another column will
be found the letter addressed to Judge
Nelson by Mrs. Tilton, in which she
begs to be heard. We can not blame the
poor woman, amidst the contention and
clamor Of her scamp Of husband and
the selfish case-hardened parson of
Plymouth Church, she must be the
greatest sufferer. Mother like the I'M
happy woman's first thought is for her
children. To protect their good name,
to preserve their affection and respect
for her who bore them, she asks to be
heard. The appeal she makes may not
be able to be complied with, but it is full
Of pathos and can not but inspire anyone
who reads it with feelings Of sincere pity
for the unhappy writer. Poor woman,
hers is m unfortunate and wretched lot.
So much so that no matter what may be
her failings, she can not but be viewed
with feelings of ths liveliest compassion.

PATENT MISUNDERSTANDING the planks

following:
That we desire such revision of the

benefit of the invention upon equitable

In spite of the efforts of the iobbers
the politicians, and the spectators to
put II down and to ignore it, this protest
against the Injustice of the present pa
tent system is rapidly making itself
heard and felt. It has now become =
political question. and is fast finding its
way into the party platforms in the form
of warning to the Washington politi-
