Tilton promptly said never had any such
conversation with Beecher.
Mr.. Evarts-I ask to have that struck out.
The Judge-Very well.
Beach-Now ask him, "Did you have any
such conversation with Beecber." The name
of Theodore Tilton never came up IN CONVERSE
ton with Beecher.
Mr. Morris here offered to prove that at the
ppriod when Beecber locates the origin of the
stories about Theodore H. Elton witness had
never heard of that namesake.
Eyarts-Are we to put the Otner Illton on
trial? 1t is apparently question whether
conversation took place between this witness and
the other Tilton A great many people tell hes'
Evarts-Then your Honor has been very for
tunate in your judicial experience. IS
Mr.. Beach urged that it was question to go
to the Jury as to the creditiblity of the two
witnesses, Beecher and Tilton:
Mr.. Beach (severely)-I was addressing the
court. and did not solicit nor do value the
opinion of the gentlem 10 on that point
Mr.. Evarts laughed,
The question was allowed.
O-At the time of which Mr.. Beecher speaks
Of an allusion by you to person OF the name
of Theodore HI. TIltoI, were you aware OF MS
existence or of his character?
Al simply knew there was such man, but
did not hear anything about his character until
afterwards Mr Tilton here leaned towards
the Judge and made some request.
The Judge-No, we are not trying the other
Tilton.
Evarts-I hope that little passage with the
Judge will not 60 into the evidence
Judge-It wont.
Mr.. Titon was next asked whether the two
long interviews Bessie Turner swore she had
with him in the back bedroom ever took place.
He answered that he never exchanged word
with Bessie Turner at any time or place on any
topic relating, however remotely, to the Grim
inal intimacy of his wife and Beecher There
was conversation between himself and his
wife during which Bessie stole into the room
unobserved, and was ordered out of the room
when be noticed her. 1t is untrue that Bessie
refused to leave the room, saying she would die
for Mrs. Tilton Nothing of the kind took
place. From the time her presence was noticed
nothing was said by him or Mrs, T nn,I in

" SHOCKING DEATH.-From the Carroll
ton papers we learn that on Wednesday
morning Of last week that as James Greer
was driving a team on the Fawcet grad
ing division of the Ohio & Toledo K. R.,
the horses ran away down long rough
hill, the hind wheels finally became sep
arated and Greer's legs got entangled in
the lines and the man was dragged over
the rough ground; when the men on the
work got to him his brains were oozing
out and his entrails protruded. One oi
the horses fell over a bridge and was
killed. Greer was single man Of S2
four years from Ireland and highly res
pected. His parents live near Magnolis
and W. H. Greer is an uncle.

AS result ofthc late Republican sue

II seems to be e,already decided that ne Is

resolutions and platforms that have been
made against his running again 90 for
nothing, A peculisriyof those Nresoln-
tons in almost every instance Is that
they do not commit the party decidedly

While pretending to condemn the third
term, they leave a loophole through
which their authors can save themselves
from opposing him. 1t is significant that
one after another all other Republican
candidates have been allowed 70 drop
out of sight. Their claims, if they ever
had any, are no longer urged. The in
sincerity of the professions hitherto made
by Republican newspapers are now APP
parent. Some of them boldly announc-
ed that they would not support Grants
reelection. Others more cautious, pre-
varicated, Many shirked the question
entirely; but they have almost entirely
ceased their opposition and asa class are
as unanimous in his favor as Chey are on
any other question. Theonly considera-
ton that remains is whether the people
will indorae this species of treason" Is
it possible to bring majority to the sup
port of movement so inimical to the
ipirit Of our institutions, so opposed to
their interests, and so dangerous TO the
perpetuity ofthe government? Only an
actual trial can decide the question.
One ching is certain; if Grant is nominat-
ed it will make the stormiest Presidential
campaign ever held in the country

The ship struck by the steamer Pacific
has been heard from. She, the orpheu',
was struck, damaged, but not seriously,
and two days afterwards was wrecked,
and her crew, encamped on a desolate
shore, were found by those in search of
the survivors of the Pacifc's company.
1t is strange story. The loss Of the
Waco at Galveston was complete, There
is not a survivor. This ship was unlaw-
fully laden with coal oil and kerosene
Both the lost steamers seem to have been
most recklessly managed. Over four
hundred lives have been thrown away in
these miserable disasters.

facts to the Marshal, who, with assistants,
went out and succeeded in arresting the
whole party and securing the goods,

coats, 8 caps, hats, Is pairs of socks, all

THE Mississippi Democrats talk like
men of sense and patriotism over their
victory. Nothing could be better than
this sentiment from the Vicksburgh
Herald: "Oh, let it not be said in the
future that our victory has been barren
of good Let US so use the blessings that
have been granted US, that all the people
Of this State, of every age, sex, color and
race, and of every political creed shall
have cause to rejoice that We have won
this victory. We are now responsible
that Mississippi pursues the path oi
peace and prosperity. She has again
emerged from darkness; so let the glori-
GUS light of her redemption shed its efiul-
gence over all the whites and blacks,thai
all may live in harmony, and be blessed
with contentment and prosperity. Then
shall we have indeed won victory
whose glory can never fade" o

The principal third term organ in Penn
sylvania-the Pittsburgh Gazette-is also
a devotee of soft money, and is trying to
make its two hobbies run evenly togeth.
er by saying that the President is moi
hard money enough in his views "to
hurt" This is the way it twists the
Presidents reference to the suppressed
rag baby: at seems to US just little
steep that the speech of President Grant,
which was simply Congratulatory over
the victories Of the Republican party,
should be classed as a 'hard-money'
speech. The President isn't exactly in
sane on that question. He has views
ami utters them as occasion requires; but
we happen to know that he does not
cling TO that subject, irrespective of all
others; nor even to the extent of refusing
to listen to views, not in harmony with
his OWN. N. Tribune.

IT is due to Gen. Samuel F. Cary, Of
Ohio, to say that he has been one Of the
ablest speakers in our campaign, and in
Pennsylvania as in Ohio, has met the
fercest and vilest abuse Of the Rings and
Radical organs and leaders, He came to
our Slate at the invitation Of the Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee
and during the Last week of the cam
paign made seven speeches, each oi
which produced the profoundest effect
upon his hearers. All his meetings were
large and enthusiastic, and his speeches
were two hours and half in length, yet
he held his audience to the last and they
would have gladly listened to him as
much longer His reputation as an ora
tor is known throughout the whole coun-
try and in Europe. Some years ago
when he made tour of England speak
ing in behalf of the working men,it was a
common thing for him to have audiences
of from 10000 to $4,000. His logic and
facts are convincing to the fullest degree,
and his mode of speaking is entertaining

DISTRESS ABROAD.

Advices from Europe give melan-
choly account Of the depression of trade
in Germany and its effect on the indus
trial classes. Serious distress is anticipa-
ted among the working classes during
the winter, and there are fears of finan-
cial crisis. Accounts of the failure of the
Russian crops add to the discouragement
Of the outlook on the continent. 1t is
said that never before has q failure been
so general in Russia.
