/ AWashington dispatch to the Chicago Tt'ib-
at,ae says The Arkansas case, it now seems
! probable, will not be changed by legislation at
this session. It is now we'll known that the
President, at his recent conference with the
members of the Investigating committee dis
covered that he is not in accord with the ma
jointly of that committee. The majority, it is
ssid, favor disavowal of the Garland govern
ment, and restoration of Brooks. The Presi-
dent is weary of slate-making, and does not
wish to have his Louisiana experience renewed
in Arkansas. This difference is likely to defeat
any proposed legislation.

The Tiiton-Beecher Trial.
The examination Of Moulton in the Beecher
case was concluded on Wednesday, Jan. e.
Moulton occupied the witness stand for ten
consecutive days. At the conclusion of his
examination, Mrs. Bradshaw and Mr.. West
were put upon the stand. The former testified
as to the pleasant relations existing between

adultery with Mrs. Tilton. The latter gave

partner, Moulton. He testified that Gen. Tracy,
several months ago, thought the case was one to
justify Moulton in lying. When Theodore Til
toms name was called as witness, Beechers
counsel interposed strenuous objections to the
admission of his evidence, and the entire day
was consumed in argument as to whether, under
the law which prohibits husband from testify
ing in case the basis of which is a charge of
his wife's infdeity, his evidence could be re-
ceived.
Friday, Jan. %, was the twentieth day of the
trial. Nothing was done but the completion of
the arguments of the counsel on the admissi-
bility of Tilton as witness. These arguments
consumed the entire day, and Judge Nelson
reserved his decision to Monday, Feb. /, to
which day the court adjourned.
