The Reecher Trial.

WHY rAASE CARPENTER AND BOWEN WE'RE NOT
CALLED.
Some surprise was expressed when the case OF
the plaintiff was closed without the appearance
on the witness.stand of either Frank Carpenter,
the artist, or Henry @. Bowen, the editor of the
Independent. Both gentlemen had figured 80
prominently in the scandal, and popularly sup
posed to know so much that was of the greatest
Importance to the eucldation of the truth, that
it was not thought possible to conclude without
them.
The reason why the plaintiffs lawyers did not
call MIR. Carpenter was that it was discovered,
on closely questioning him, that if he could not
swear that MIR. Beecher had ever confessed any
offence with Mrs. Tilton, but that, on cross-ex-
animation, he would be forced to swear that Mr..
Beecher had stouty denied any offence what
ever. Mr.. Carpenter, it appears, has said this
much to W. i. Scott. a lawyer at No. 40 Wall
street, and to other persons and it is supposed
by the plaintiffs counsel that the defence are In
possession OF this fact, of which, however, they
knew nothing YESTERDAY.
Henry G. Bowen, will not be called on
the sdirect examination by Mr.. Beech
er, but expects to testify for the plain
tiff iu rebnttal should Mr.. Beecher swear
to any matters with which Mr.. Bowen is famil-
lar. or course he can then certify only on the
point involved. and cannot tell all his story. He
says be has thus far refused to speak upon the
subject to any person except his own lawyers
and his enemies give him the credit Of being the
only person connected in any way with the case
who has kept his promise and been silent

There are now eighteen subordinate Oranges

NEW YORK. ASPECTS DURING THE wEEK-So CHANG
Es TAKING PLAcE-THE SPRING TRADE.
lFrom the N. Y, Times.l
So far sIthis city is concerned, no changes
have occurred during the past week in the rela-
tive positions occupied by the great railroad
companies engaged in the war. The offices OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Company were, il possi-
BILE, adorned with larger and more flaming pla-
cards and posters than before, and undoubtedly
did very large business in the sale OF tickets,
larger perhaps, than during the preceding week,
by reason of the action on the part of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company IN restoring the old
rates to the West in Philadelphia.
The agents of both companies profess TO be
well satisfied with the condition of affairs, and
say they do not anticipate that any changes will
be made in the rates. Those OF the Baltimore
and Ohio road say there will be none made IN
less there should be reduction on the part of
the Pennsylvania Central, and the officers of
that road say they do not think there will be any
reduction on their side. It ia said, however,
that it ia possible that very important change
may take place within short time. The Spring
trade will soon open, and large quantities OF
freight will have to be shipped, and there will of
course, be a corresponding increase of travel.
The President of the Erie Road, it is also sad
is far from being satisfied with the state of
affairs, and is desrous Of q change. Having
failed to induce Mr.. Garrett to submit tho ques-
ton to arbitration it is very likely that be will
take some other means to secure share Of the
Spring business. As it is the Baltimore and
Ohio is carrying freight at much lower rate
than any of the other companies, and is certain
that SO long as shippers can save by sending
their goods over that line they will do so.
Should the Saratoga compact be rescinded a
brisk competition would undoubtedly arise,
which, however disastrous it might be to the
trunk lines, would afford cheap transportation to
the public, at least for a awhile.
1t has also been rumored that further cores
pondence has taken place between Presidents
Scott and Garrett which has not been OF a char
acter tending to bring about reconciliation be-
tween them, Mr.. Scott, it is said, having accused
Mr. Garrett of publishing communications Of a
confidential nature.

Row AT THE DEPoT.-Last night lively strug-
gle occurred at the depot, in which many of the
by-stan3ers joined although there were no blows
struck, 30 far as We can learn from lockers on.
It seems that the proprietor of the Jefferson
House at New Castle had obtained cspias for
the arrest of DIR. Palmitory, or some such
name, who had been employed at the Tasker
works, but who had failed to pay his bill, at the
hotel in question, for himself and wife for two
months past. On Saturday evening an effort
was made to arrest the Dr. in this city on the
capias, but he could not be found until after
twelve o'clock, when he was taken into
custody and conveyed to New Castle. This ac-
ton was thont warrant, the law exempting
debtor from this process on Sunday, and some-
way the DIR. obtained his release. But in the
evening. just before the $40 train started for
Philadelphia, the Dr. presented himself at the
depot intending to go to Philadelphia, when his
pursuers pounced down upon him and under
took to arrest him again, when the crowd inter-
fered, and the struggle related above ensued.
Special officer Legg, however, interfered after
the DR.. had got into car, and prevented his
further molestation. This is the story as We
have ii from an officer.
