Al the close Of the proceedings yester-
day afternoon neither counsel nor au-
dience were permitted to leave the court

outside the courtroom, there was rush
made for the doors by all the crowd ex-
cept those who Occupied seats in the im-
mediate vicinity Of Mr. Beecher, who lin.
gercd. TWAS while the crowd was thus
hastily dispensing that remarkable in
ridcnl took place, eN p fNf'tt
Mr.. Beecher, with goOd.natured smile
and his usual genial manner, left his own
counsel and stepped across the room to-
the table at which Mr.. TiltOn's counsel
at, snd reaching across it, Saluted Mr.,
Reach, and then shook his hand, Mr.,
rilton, with stern expression on his
lnce, stood al this moment within two feet
Of the Clergyman, but did not look In Ills
direction, although he must have heard
every word that was uttered.
"If,p said Mr.. BeecheF to Judge Beach
laughingly, Ill | get out from between the
paws oftwo such lions as you and Fuller

what Icame here to find outS WIZ
6You forget" said Mr.. Beach, pointing
to Mr.. Evarts, "the Daniel standing
among the lions, and closing their
mouths
Mr.. Beechor placed one hand on Slr.
shearman's shoulder, and the other on
Mr.. Evarts, and remarked In . ocular
way, tiny lions are very harmless anil
mails" Then turning to Mr.. Morris, he
said:
"Let me present my'elf to you, Judge
Morris"
The oxJudge very OOldIy replied "Mr'
Beecher"
The pastor Of the Plymouth Church
was not to be reptllsed In this way, and

There was slight tinge Of sarcasm In
Mr. Morris tones o. no Eetorted, "Yes,

Mr.. Evarts Joined In the conversation
AT this moment, and playfully said!
"Mr. Morris, ! noticed that You expa-

against our side" fd
Mr. Morris answered In tie same pleas
ant manner: r
II thought you could attend to the
other things much better than " =.
BY this time counsel we're surrounded
by farge crowd Of curious listeners,

Mr.. Morris made no reply, aud Mr.,
Tilton, for the frat time shot quick
glance In which mingled hate and scorn
we're expressed at the speaker, and then
turned 10 Gen. Pryor. That gentleman
had been listening to the conversation
with an iinmistakable look Of disgust on
his sharply cut features. Addressing
Triton, he made brief remark In q con.
tempttious tone Of voice, and the two left
The courtroom together. Mr.. Fullerton
did not take part In the conversation, but
looked on with an amused expression,
In the mean time Mrs, Tllton and her
lady friends had left the court room, II

Beecher and Mrs. Beechet could get away.
